I agree with this except for the idea that free will doesn't exist. However, I can concede free will is a variable. The variable hinges on awareness of possibilities. Therefore, the less aware you are the less free will you have. If you manage to raise your consciousness, your free will increases as your awareness of new possibilities increases.

Individuality, or separation, is part of the divine because the divine is the reservoir of all awareness -- all varieties of awareness -- all forms of consciousness or knowingness. This includes awareness of growth. We are the awareness of growth. Our reality is a result of that manifest knowingness of the divine.
