Dear Eckhart,
.
Do people really have the ability to choose? As an enlightened being, do you feel that your will and the will of God is the same? I worry that I will become like the Borg on Star Trek, just part of one collective. Thanks for your time, Eckhart.  “laughter”

Dear Gregory,

You are already a Borg.  You have already been assimilated.  As long as you are unconscious (spiritually speaking), you ARE part of the collective, and the belief that your thoughts are “your” thoughts is an illusion, an illusory personal identity.  Both the content and structure of your mind (i.e. what you think and how you think) are forms of conditioning.  You don’t think: thinking happens to you.  You are being thought by the collective mind.  So it’s not a question of not being assimilated into the collective, but stepping out of the collective dream of unconscious thinking, that is to say stop being a Borg.
