The existence of free will is, of course, what makes us culpable for our actions and thereby grow and develop into singular beings able to emulate God to the extent that we can. Pharaoh and the Egyptians, in order to be subject to the punishments inflicted by the plagues had to have free will. What this Insight is adding, though, is that it is also important for us to recognize that, even as we think we are so right and believe in the strength of our decisions and being, what we may be experiencing is not our free will but its actual removal from us by God. We can also be in the Hands of God Who is directing us pursuant to His plan and objective. That recognition is an important realization in challenging our potential haughtiness.
