By connecting to the fullness of the light of the creator and by becoming one with HIM. Meaning by trying to do all HIS will and not wasting our lives in the everyday jumble of nonsense.
Free will is the choice of two paths, the path of growth/enlightenment or the path of suffering/ignorance. Growth will allow a person to step out the way of a moving car and suffering in front of the head lights.
I believe that a person needs to be able to see things from different perspectives in order to grow. Visual perception is not always what you get, but a deeper inspection beyond can cause what was once bad to be seen as good, if taken as a lesson.
