In the present moment, I dont see God as a seperat distinct individual, but rather an Essence that is the base of all that is, to the point where really there is nothing but God /this Essence. One can apply the multitude of labels to this One Essence, ie God, Allah, Rama, etc etc, but the essence itself remains the same through all.
I see this Essence as a Conscious Presence within all things and all individual existant beings. Though all individuals appear to be distinct, in shape, form, personality, etc, the Conscious Presence is the same throughout all. Everything aside from this conscoius Presence is merely a play of energy in motion manifesting in the many different forms on the many different planes of existance.
The individuals peception of themselves as distinctly unique individual persona is also merely a natural play of this energy in motion. An illusion, albeit seemingly very real.
Free Will as I see it in this moment, is not related to physical events or choices but in relation to inner awareness. one has the free will to continue moving in the direction of their percieved distinct individuality or to move in the direction of reslization of the oneness of the universe. The choice to live out the existant life as an individual or to merge with the whole and let go of their individual identity they have believed themselves to be.
That is just what I see now anyhow. I'm still exploring my inner self though, who knows what will arise to be seen next? I'm not prepared to set my feet in concrete by any means.
