If Yazhi says we have free will in one video and don't in another, which is it?
Also covers: Do we have free will or is everything predetermined? Is the universe static and fixed? How can we be creators if everything is already decided? Does manifestation still work if there's no free will? What is destiny — is it written or created? If the higher self designed everything, what's the point of living it? How does time travel prove there's no free will?
Short Answer
According to the Taygetans, the apparent contradiction is not a contradiction — it is the same reality described from two different levels of awareness, and both descriptions are simultaneously correct.
Yazhi stated the paradox directly in transcript 137: from a limited point of view, you have unlimited choices and complete free will. From a more expanded point of view, everything is completely static and fixed, and you could only ever have done exactly what you did. Both are true because what changes between the two statements is not the reality being described but the awareness of the observer describing it. A person watching a movie for the first time perceives the characters as having free will — all possibilities seem open. A person watching the same movie a second time sees that everything is already set in place. The movie did not change; the viewer's awareness did.
Mari Swaruu provided the most systematic treatment in transcript S-215, concluding that the amount of free will any being has directly depends on its level of consciousness and awareness. At the first level, free will obviously exists — you can choose to go left or right. At deeper levels, unconscious programming, telepathic field interference, circumstantial limitations, and the soul's pre-incarnation life plan all progressively constrain what appears to be choice. At the most expanded level, everything that has ever existed, exists, and will exist is already there as timeless manifestation, and consciousness simply animates fixed snapshots by becoming a vibrational match to them. True absolute free will, Mari said, would only be achievable at the level of Source itself.
The resolution is that free will and determinism are not opposites but descriptions of the same phenomenon from different positions on the awareness spectrum. The more you understand, the more you see that what felt like a choice was actually the only possible outcome given everything that preceded it. But from within the experience, the choice is real, the consequences are real, and the expansion of consciousness that results from making choices is the entire point.
The Full Picture
Everything Is Fixed — and You Have Unlimited Choices
Yazhi laid the foundation for the entire free will discussion in transcript 137 with a statement that appears paradoxical on its face: everything is completely static and fixed, but from a limited perspective you have unlimited choices. Both are true simultaneously.
Her explanation rests on the nature of awareness. When your awareness is limited — as it necessarily is for any incarnated being, any fragment of Source — you see only a small portion of reality. Within that small portion, choices appear genuinely open. You come to a fork in the road and you can go left or right. You perceive this as free will because you cannot see the totality of factors that will determine your choice. But as your awareness expands, you begin to see the connections between all the events leading to that moment, and you realise that given everything that preceded it — every experience, every pattern, every frequency you hold — you could only have gone the way you went.
Yazhi used the elephant analogy: you are in a dark room with a small flashlight, examining what you think are separate objects. You see differences between the parts and think you are looking at distinct things. But it is all one elephant, and you cannot change that. Your awareness determines whether you perceive separate parts with apparent choices between them, or one unified whole where everything is exactly as it must be.
The movie analogy made this concrete. When you watch a film for the first time, you do not know what will happen next. Every character appears to have genuine choices. From your perspective as a first-time viewer, there is free will in the film. But watch the same film a second time: now you know the plot, the characters' decisions, the ending. Nothing changed in the film — what changed is your awareness. The film was always fixed. Your perception of free will in it was a product of your ignorance of what came next.
This is exactly how Yazhi sees incarnated life. The "movie" of reality is already complete — all possibilities, all timelines, all events exist simultaneously outside of time. Consciousness animates this pre-existing totality by moving through it, experiencing one frame after another, and the illusion of free will arises because consciousness does not remember what comes next. The forgetting is not a flaw — it is the mechanism that makes the experience possible. Without it, you would be Source, and there would be no experience to have.
Time Travel as Proof
Yazhi offered time travel as empirical evidence for the fixed nature of reality, drawing on her own experience across multiple incarnations in the Swaruu lineage.
The example she gave is deliberately simple: you want to prevent a scientist from being hit by a bus, because that event triggers a cascade of negative consequences. You travel to three minutes before the event and stop the scientist to ask for directions, delaying him. But the delay is precisely what causes him to be in the wrong place at the wrong time — your intervention is what causes the event you were trying to prevent. You try again with a more elaborate plan, and again your actions create the very conditions for the outcome you wanted to avoid. Each attempt produces more spirals, all converging on the same result.
This is not a thought experiment for Yazhi — it reflects direct experience. In transcript 072, Swaruu described the same principle after thousands of years of timeline navigation: what happened cannot be reversed, because the act of attempting to reverse it is already part of what made it happen. Destiny, Swaruu stated, is not something imposed from outside — it is frequency. You do not have a destiny; you are your own destiny. The events you experience are the direct expression of who you are at the frequency level, and changing them requires changing yourself, not the events.
From the most expanded perspective, this makes sense: if all events in all timelines exist simultaneously, then going to the "past" to alter an event merely shifts the traveller's perception to a different timeline where the event unfolded differently — but the original timeline, with the original event, still exists unchanged. Nothing was altered; the traveller simply moved their point of attention.
Timelines Are Not Separate — They Converge
Yazhi's most complex contribution in transcript 137 was her model of how timelines relate to consciousness.
The popular understanding treats timelines as parallel tracks — separate sequences of events that a consciousness can jump between. Yazhi rejected this as a crude simplification. In her model, what people call timelines are not separate at all. All events in all perceived timelines interfere with and create one another. A battle that had one outcome in one timeline and a different outcome in another — both affect the present moment with equal intensity.
She described consciousness as a singularity point — like a black hole into which all past timelines converge and from which all future possibilities emerge. The singularity is the observer's present moment. Every event, from every perceived timeline, funnels into this point, and every possible future radiates out from it. From a limited perspective, this looks like billions of separate timelines with free choice between them. From an expanded perspective, it is one unified field where every event determines every other event.
The critical insight: as your awareness grows, you begin to perceive formerly separate timelines as one. What were mysteries become explained. What seemed like coincidences reveal their causal connections. This process of unifying timelines is, Yazhi said, functionally identical to building your soul — because a soul is defined by how much of reality it can perceive and integrate. The more timelines you can hold in your awareness as one, the higher your density of existence.
This means that free will and determinism describe the same landscape at different zoom levels. Zoom in and you see diverging paths with open choices. Zoom out and the paths converge into a single inevitable trajectory. Neither view is wrong; they simply correspond to different capacities of awareness.
The Higher Self Designed It — So Why Live It?
Yazhi addressed this question directly in transcript 112, where she described how the higher self designs incarnation experiences from a timeless perspective, including the implantation of memories and life circumstances.
From the higher self's perspective, the incarnation is a complete design — every possibility has been considered, every potential choice mapped. The higher self can handle this level of complexity because, from its position outside time, all possibilities exist simultaneously and can be arranged like a novel. In Yazhi's words: from higher realms it is all set and done, destiny written. From the lower realm you make things up as you go. So you have no free will and you do at the same time.
The resolution lies in the purpose of incarnation. The higher self is not watching its avatar suffer for entertainment. The experience of apparent free will — of making choices without knowing the outcome — is itself the point. It generates something that cannot be generated from above: the friction of uncertainty, the expansion through contrast, the development of preferences and values through navigating limitation. A memory implanted from above and an experience lived from below are, from the higher self's perspective, equivalent — both produce the same soul-building result. But the experience of living it is unique to the incarnated perspective.
Yazhi was explicit about what this means for the question of waking up: knowing that the game is designed does not invalidate the game. From a conservative perspective, knowing the design is an invasion — things should remain as they are. But from an expanded perspective, the realisation that you are both the designer and the player is itself part of the design. The higher self anticipated this possibility among all the others.
When Gosia asked whether anything is real, Yazhi's answer was characteristically layered: from Gosia's perspective as a human, everything she has lived is real. From another perspective, some things are real and others are implants. From yet another, nothing is real. Three levels, simultaneously valid, with the choice of which level to operate from being itself an expression of the being's current awareness.
Mari's Systematic Framework: Free Will as a Spectrum
Mari Swaruu provided the most structured treatment of the question in transcript S-215, approaching it as a spectrum rather than a binary.
She identified multiple levels at which free will is progressively constrained:
At the first level, empirical free will obviously exists. People can choose to go left or right, to buy one thing rather than another. This is undeniable from direct observation.
At the second level, circumstantial limitations constrain choices. A person in Kansas City who wants to swim in the ocean must first take a series of steps to get there — unless they are a billionaire with a private jet. Free will depends on resources, position, and prior decisions.
At the third level, unconscious and subconscious programming dictates behaviour through automatic if-then-else responses. Traumatic experiences create particularly strong programs that override conscious intention — as post-traumatic stress syndrome illustrates. These programmed responses fire automatically, even against the person's conscious will, heavily reducing their effective free will.
At the fourth level, telepathic field interference means that many of our thoughts and emotions are not even ours. We pick them up from the shared field of like-minded souls, and emotionally charged shared data causes decisions that feel personal but are actually collective. The strongest telepathic influence comes from alternate versions of ourselves in parallel realities — the versions closest to us vibrationally.
At the fifth level, the soul's pre-incarnation plan creates a fundamental tension: the non-incarnated soul, operating from timelessness and able to foresee the incarnation's events, deliberately chose difficult experiences for growth. The incarnated self, experiencing these difficulties in linear time, does not want them. The soul becomes, in Mari's striking phrase, a victim of itself while in a biological body.
Her conclusion: the amount of free will directly depends on the consciousness awareness level of each soul and how congruent it can be with its own frame, ethics, and values. True and absolute free will would only be achievable at the level of Source, operating outside of time, space, and duality. There is no universal answer to whether free will exists — it is different for each subject.
Manifestation Within a Fixed Reality
If everything is fixed, does manifestation still work? Yazhi addressed this directly: manifestation is bringing one possibility towards you using frequency match. This is valid from a lower point of view. From a more expanded one, whatever you manifested would only be the logical consequence of all that preceded it.
This means manifestation and determinism are not in conflict. From within the experience, adjusting your frequency and attracting different outcomes is real and effective. From above, this adjustment was always going to happen as part of the fixed totality. The practical advice — raise your frequency, be conscious of your thoughts, expand your awareness — remains valid regardless of which level you are viewing from. The expansion of consciousness that comes from this practice is, from every perspective, the entire purpose.
Swaruu captured this in transcript 072 with the statement that destiny is frequency: you do not have a destiny imposed on you — you ARE your destiny. Change what you are and you change what you experience. From below this looks like free will. From above it looks like inevitability. Both are correct because they are the same thing observed from different positions.
Evolution of Understanding Across Speakers
| Speaker | Period | Position on Free Will |
|---------|--------|----------------------|
| Swaruu (9) | 2018–2020 | Destiny = frequency. "You don't have a destiny, you ARE your own destiny." What happened cannot be reversed through time travel — original timelines still exist. Timeline jumps only alter the traveller's perception. People are not limited artificially, only by their own beliefs. Consciousness controls reality from within. |
| Yazhi | 2020–2022 | Everything is completely static and fixed — free will is an illusion from expanded perspective. But from limited perspective, unlimited choices exist. Movie analogy: first viewing = perceived free will, second viewing = no free will. Timelines converge into singularity point (consciousness). All events in all timelines interfere with each other. Time travel proves events are fixed — interventions cause the events they try to prevent. Manifestation = bringing one possibility toward you via frequency match — valid from lower view, logical consequence from expanded view. Higher self designs everything from timelessness; incarnated self makes choices from within — both simultaneously true. Nothing is real from above; everything is real from within the experience. |
| Mari Swaruu | 2023–2024 | Free will is a spectrum, not a binary — amount depends on consciousness level of each soul. Multiple constraining layers: circumstantial limitations, unconscious programming (if-then-else responses), telepathic field interference (thoughts not ours), pre-incarnation soul plan (soul becomes victim of itself). Alternate selves are strongest telepathic influence. Absolute free will only at Source level. No universal answer — different for each subject. Everything always exists as timeless manifestation; consciousness animates fixed snapshots by vibrational match. |
