Free will is only illusive when tossed up in the opposite scale against pure determination. After the toss, the loss, where through and whereby the values shit toward either side, and will becomes as if it was determined fatefully , then another shift and it seems like it’s the real thing, and self determination ceases actually become real.
The way it’s revisioned, is through an apparent melange of both from a world of being that is in severable from existence, the other place that melange is cut asunder to re-form to where revision takes off from either an existential world of awarenessor one that sifts focus to the limits of understanding the all inclusive unbounded place of the all-wise and powerful Entity we call God.
Regardless of shits, the two are essentially dependent on each other, so my punishment also effects who dole it out, as the karmic law between a crime and it’s resultant call for a retribution is effected, nothwithstanding anything but within a relative - timeless , unmeasurable progression.
There need be no fear of shifting, of these metaphysical stones of logical correlation, since phenomenal effects are neither deep, or hardly observable.
Criticality , of shifting appears as counterproductive, when one degrades spiritually, as the other one gains materially from such a transaction.
But verily, as memory looses trac , even with multiple milestones are set, the deeply set milestone markers lower alongside, and they remain merely on the obvious level, with no need to calculate the depth with any info coming through over the critical point of observable facts.
Religion went along physics until metaphysics took an exit, after that their path diverged further and further, until memory totally blocked corresponding structural affinities, until the hope arise of the birth of the old memory into it’s simulated ( illusionary) aspect.
Whose will got the it going, an intrinsical gift, emanating necessarily beyond the sensible, or an extrinsic natural agency, or through a combined will of both, sensing that necessity, is not for any one to say.
