I know what you are trying to say. You want to say that the relative
gravitates towards the absolute, and that the existence of all
individual beings, as perceived in the relative, has the absolute as
its eventual destiny. I, however, disagree. To me it seems that the
absolute is the origin and the foundation of all the beings and all
the creation, from which everything grows and develops. The goal is
not to be one with the absolute, because you already are. That would
be attaining the attained. The process of evolution goes in the
direction of individualizing the potential qualities of the absolute
in the individual egos. Therefore, the goal is not to get rid of the
ego and realize the absolute Self, it is to attain the divine nature,
to possess the divine qualities, to make the ego divine. Looking at it
this way, it is no longer necessary to approximate everything to
merely a temporary illusion projected upon the transcendental Self, it
makes sense to talk about the individual souls with the free will,
which can be utilized in either direction. If the free will were
designed to go only in the positive direction, it would not be free.
It is therefore possible to make mistakes, to go in a wrong direction,
and nothing is predetermined. There are the wrong paths, and one can
choose them and be utterly ruined. There are also the right paths, and
one can choose them and become "perfect as our Father in heaven". The
choice is up to us.
This is what my original comment was all about, although a bit
abbreviated. ;)
