Not sure the logic you present is applicable Pat, I would think it to be 'all' unwilling based on your proposed concept because all of life is, as you have purported previously, pre-willed and part of the space time continuum on account of the omnipotence. All incarnations would be willed by the omnipotent one as well as any multiple levels, chakra, lives, mortality and immortality, etc x 3 Isn't this where you stand or have you changed/modified your platform? Just the addition of such an element, that being omnipotence, suggests purposeful intent; the obverse being "impotent passive onlooker" which is unlikely according to your premise.
