I believe we are free to align our will with the will of the universe. The above vid touches on some of the issues associated with free will

Once again I speak form experience but do not expect anyone to take my word for it. All I can say is that those who are motivated by selflessness, who never forget even the smallest piece of truth they themselves have seen , will be shown the way.
No accidents. No coincidences, The universe has planned for us down to the last detail. How could it be otherwise?

From our limited perspective, our choices will always appear (to us) to be choices.

You have a choice to poke your eye out with a fork or to not poke your eye out with a fork.
I can predict the choice you will make, but does that mean you are without free will?

Let’s suppose then that not only can I predict accurately, because of my knowledge of you, which decision you will make, but I also know which decision you will make through prophesy. I am not determining your decision I just see which decision you will make.
You are still free to choose.
