Here’s why: Considering, that I, and most of us do, Know & have a conscious connection to God/Creator/Ultimate Higher Self, whatever suits you to call it… then the only Will that is real and true is “God‘s... your god being". To think that you have Free Will separates you from God’s. Anyway, hope you get what I’m trying to say here. To be other than lined up with God’s will (your Highest GodMind) is to be separated into your own Egoic Will. That is what really struck me the most! When you are in conscious contact, in that state of Oneness, then you ARE your GodMind's Will, utterly responsible for EveryThing that has happened in your life.

God is a tricky concept to talk about without the likelihood of being misunderstood. I'm not familiar with the usage or meaning of "GodMind" (it seems an impossible concept). But my current understanding of what most would consider as fitting the description of God, is that there could never be the idea of judgement, including the idea that God's will could differ in anyway from our individual free will. I'd say God's will would have to be that we always be free to exercise our individual free will. And if fact, any viewpoints or opinions held by beings who naturally reside in higher dimensions always seem to consider our free will as sacred, if anything is. Or at least that is my perception. Free will is inalienable and inviolate.
That concept in his talk, is the one I'd say he got 180 degrees backwards. Free will rules.
It could also be we are looking at different things here, and that mislabeling has occurred.
