In many individual minds, a sensation of freewill stands in contest against the mounting piles of evidence for determinism. Are sentient beings free to choose at will or destined to a pre-selected fate? Perhaps the mistake being made in this age-old question is to presume that freewill and determinism are mutual exclusions. What rules out the possibility that  freewill and determinism arrive as a mutual inclusion? 

With consideration of a single existent intelligence, simultaneous freewill and determinism can describe all functions of the universe and all of our sentient experiences.

That which determines temperature, specific gravity, chemical presence, waveform presence, relationships, objectivity, internal structure, and persona is a single intelligence that wills. It makes choices and decisions on location from a single mind.

This might explain why cells and their mechanisms know how to behave without coaching or instruction. This might explain why a glob of fungi can formulate transportation routes with near-equal efficacy compared to teams of human engineers.  This might explain why the major world religions of ancient incubation and long lines of sincere thinkers all reach the same conclusion time and again: when expressed at peak clarity, the universal-will is compassionate: forgiving, accepting, and patient.

Is compassion the eternal way of the single intelligence? Has the entire universe  conspired over billions of years to bring humanity to existence alongside this message? What else could generate the magnanimity sufficient for blind stupidity to be able to make it this far and continue going?  It seems possibile that everybody is doing their best under given circumstances. Anytime a person has had "more love" to give, it had been given without hesitation.

Notice, the human body acts as an antenna that tunes in the single will. From separate locations, we each manifest reports of varying clarity on various topics from experience. By comparing reports, we may extend the process of intellectual disambiguation with ease.

Although we are not yet there, it is inevitable that humanity becomes cognizant of the universal mind and join it as an equal, rather than riding it as an involuntary proxy. Human bodies express the universal mind with every fiber, affect, and effect. Close examination reveals it is a truth-seeking device. It does not know how to live any other way. As human bodies have developed self-awareness, it is only a matter of "time" before the  macro-organism that is the universe also develops self-awareness. This maturation will include human recognition and arrive by its own timeline without being rushed. All that is required of the people to reach our epic destiny without trouble is to allow ourselves and one another to be what we are without worry, fear, or doubt.
