If there are no 'mistakes' what is free will?

"'Always consider that you may be mistaken.' Mistakes have an important part to play in evolving a mature personality. If you know your mistakes, you will have a sixth sense warning you if you’re beginning to repeat a pattern. The more psychically alert you are the more you will be able to intuit the unfolding of events from the current point.
"'My strength is made perfect in weakness.' You are still longing to use your own strength and your own mind, but I cannot allow that. You must empty yourself. It is the loss of individual consciousness you fear, but how can you hope to hear my voice if you are so certain of your own? You will say ‘then why was I given a voice of my own?’
"Because it is your physical instrument defining timbre and range. But your own wisdom is earthy and so stands (or falls) amongst the earth-children. If you want to speak of the timeless dimension you must learn how to be attentive to my voice. The higher the calling the greater the purification. Once you have achieved it, all will desire it of you. If there were another way I would be glad for you to take it. Thruout consciousness, seekers after enlightenment have followed this route. Initially you feel alone but as your earthly awareness fades you begin to see you’re surrounded by a throng of discarnate pilgrims who are your companions. If it were easy the world would nearer perfection than you find …!
"Don’t be discouraged. Flesh would not be flesh if it didn’t wilt from time to time. You have to see beyond the flesh, and so your troubles will gain perspective."
