How Time proves free will.

The existence of free will is inextricably tied up with the nature of Time. Part of the reason so many Oneness advocates deny the existence of free will is because the Oneness is something which exists outside the bounds of any linear timeline, and in fact could be considered as much the All-Time/No Time just as much as It could be considered the All Things/No Thing. This, the predeterminists say, shows free will cannot exists, because everything exists in the perception (if such a word applies) of the One Soul. If everything is known, no possibilities other than What Is and What Will Be can exist.

But does not such a concept place a limitation upon the Unlimited? To be locked into one continuing set of circumstances, unalterable, unavoidable, marching on from the Big Bang until the end of time, this would put a horrible set of constraints upon the experiences the One Soul can have. Every time we come to a situation where, to our perception, we make a choice, the Oneness would be limiting Itself to one circumstance, one possibility.

What would be much more logical is if, instead of one timeline, the entire web of probability were open to the perceptions of the Oneness. Then, instead of only one set of experiences, an infinite number of splintering timelines and possibilities would be available. Every possible choice and every possible shift of reality that choice could create would be there for the Oneness to perceive and experience, through us.

But what would this mean for us, down here in linear time/space? If every possibility actually exists for the Oneness, what constraints, if any, would we have upon the possibilities of our own lives? Lack of free will implies, and actually requires, that only one possibility exists. If all possibilities exist, what could keep us from choosing for ourselves?

So my logic is simple: if there is no free will, the Oneness is limited. If the Oneness is unlimited, then free will exists, or at least nothing inherently keeps us from having it. Me, I go with the latter.
