free will and personal growth

[theknightwhosaysni-NI]

According to you, where does free will fit in the triangle of truth, love and power ?
What is the role of free will in the pursuit of personal growth ?

To me free will is the ability to make choices in our lives. In a way, it seems similar to love. As defined in the book, love is choosing to connect with whatever we want (goals, people, places etc.), so it's a bit like free will isn't it?

Hmmmm. I'm usually not at all concerned with free will or not, but here is my brief take on this.

For Truth, I don't think we have free will when it comes to Truth. Truth is what it is. We do have free will though in deciding to uncover truth and to do the hard job in trying to distinguish it.

As for Love, we don't have complete free will with what we feel so connected and drawn to. Sometimes it's our intuition telling us to connect to something. But we do have free will in deciding to allow that deeper connection with what we love to develop, or whether we turn away from what we love to focus on what we don't love.

As for Power, that's a complete free choice decision. We choose whether we take power or not and we choose what our decisions should be.

This doesn't really answer the question you provided directly, it's my take on it But I do seem to agree with you that it's about the choices we make with whether we align or not in each of these principles.
