Existential Principles

3. THE PRINCIPLE OF FREEDOM OF SELECTING
The principle of freedom of selecting, i.e. the reason for the plurality and variety in the universe of manifestation, is one of the fundamental principles existing in the essence of the whole creation within the universe.
Freedom of Selecting Stems from the Principle of Existential Equality
The Creator, who is UNIQUE, has brought the essence of existence into existence by a single action. And this action has provided the Divine Principles in the essence of Existence, which has to come into existence in forms. Since all beings have been created in one action, they are all UNIQUE in essence; and since they are all provided with the same Existential Principles within their essence, they are all equal in the eyes of God, and naturally and certainly in the eyes of each other. It is due to the Principle of Equality that all creation has been equipped with an unlimited freedom of selecting.
Every Created Being has an Unlimited Freedom of Selecting The Creator is infinite and what the Creator created is infinite too. Actually, to expect a finite being from an infinite Creator is absurd. As a result of this fact, entities are brought into existence by being provided with an infinite freedom of selecting. The concept of freedom here does not have any opposite sense that means being a slave. This freedom is such that it was brought into existence before the manifestation, and by virtue of this fact it does not have any opposite meaning, and nor is it restricted by time and space dimensions. In other words, this is the freedom of manifestation that is exclusive to existence. Existence selects the way it desires by its free will, proceeds in this direction, and adapts itself according to the conditions it comes in contact with on this way. Existence neither gains nor loses anything by this selection. Free selection of existence is not the process of utilizing one of the available possibilities and leaving the remaining possibilities to other beings. There is nothing that could be called possibility outside of existence; everything becomes a possibility for existence as soon as it selects. In this respect, every entity has a right of selecting, which can be utilized equally and on an infinite basis. Besides, even though there are infinite possibilities outside existence, any unique possibility selected does not restrict the infiniteness of those possibilities and remains an infinite selecting possibility for other beings.
The Reason for Variety in the Universe of Manifestation: Freedom of Selecting Different appearances of entities in the universe of manifestation, in spite of the fact that they are all equal with respect to the essence they have, are not due to an arbitrary will of a certain system outside existence but are due to existence itself. As a result of the infinite selecting freedom of existence, various hierarchies come into existence in the universe of manifestation. A relative order that comes into existence due to the free will of all entities that are the same in essence does not violate the Principle of Existential Equality. The same entity, utilizing the Principle of Freedom of Existential Equality, is able to manage an atom as well as a solar system. This gradual order and inequality in the universe of manifestation indicates the infiniteness of the Freedom of Selecting that is in the essence of the entities due to its creation.
