will.

Free will is not obscured simply
because an entity is presented
with alternative realities or
relative truths that delay its
realization of Source equality. It
is the choice of the entity to
invest itself in external
accounts of reality instead of
delving within its own
resources and creating a reality
that is sovereign. The value of
free will is always expanding as
you move towards sovereignty,
and in like manner, is always
diminishing as you move
towards external dependence.
The choice between sovereignty
or external dependence is the
basis of free will and there is no

structure or external source
that can eliminate this basic
choice. It is an inward choice
that, regardless of outward
circumstance, is incapable of
being denied by anything
external.
The Universe of Wholeness
encompasses all dimensions
(including Source Reality) and
therefore, all realities are
contained therein. In this
incomprehensible diversity,
each entity is provided a
structure that defines their free
will in terms of its relation

structures varies in latitude of
choice, but each is connected
into the superstructure of the
hierarchy. The structureless
reality of Source Reality is
where free will was initially
conceived and when the
principle expanded into the
time-space universe as the
thread of authenticity, it
became increasingly dependent
upon the entity's recognition of
its wholeness in relation to
Source Intelligence.
If the entity was fragmented
into its component parts, its
comprehension of free will was
limited to that which the
hierarchy circumscribed. If the
