Free will

[Kisito]

For uninitiated there seems be a dichotomy between the natural cycle and the free will. Why the natural cycle is stronger than the free will. It persuades us that our free will is influenced by the natural cycle! In which case the free will would be only a thought split by the 7D. Every reflection, every action(share) would be unchanging quantum events. The consciousness 7D would be the knowledge of every thing every moment and in every place, it would make quite static.
If 7D knows any quantum things, nothing surprises him(it) either at time(weather) or in space, thus the free will would exist that for the first 6 densities...

The way Gurdjieff explains it in 3D terms is that as you move down the hierarchy from galaxies of galaxies to humans on planet earth, there are more and more Laws governing creative behavior (free will) and that it could not be otherwise. Thus the mechanical nature of humans serving the purposes of creation at their level. Extending this, at the quantum level, the number of governing Laws would be huge. In order to predict at this level, you might need to know the initial conditions of the entire Universe. If this is analogous to the D's, then 7D certainly knows the initial conditions and every other condition of the Universe, so as you say, there would be no surprises. But at our level - surprises all the time.

Maybe another way to look at it is that just like there is a limited "free will" afforded the beings at a particular level of the hierarchy, there is a limited amount of knowledge to be shared or apportioned. But the knowledge can be accumulated at the individual level and levered (through Being) to bend or escape the Laws and manifest true individuality and free will. This is what the Fourth Way Work is all about - to take the chance for escaping the mechanical progression of the universe (natural cycle?) at this level. You might say that free will/knowledge/creativity is conserved across the hierarchy and converges at the top as a whole.

I'm not completely sure of your question or if I even got close to answering it - for what its worth ...

Hello Kisito,
Projecting our understanding of freewill to the the absolute freewill is not easy. However, one may conceive that the absolute freewill, through its manifestation of Being and non-Being, "conceived" some situations for consciousness to experience a relative limitation of freewill. Another way to see it is that for certain consciousness units, falling into unconsciousness may be the way they chose to learn how to grow in consciousness, and thus to offer the universe a certain point of view to see itself through them.
