People view things how they want.
God is a loving God Who has a whole bunch of reasons why to do things this way and that. When He tweaks all things from the beginning just to match the faith of some, He does it in perfection and righteousness, both for His benefit and for the people and their benefit.
People feel they have choices. They act like they have choices. And by "manipulating" God through their faith in Him, or lack thereof, they express their choices through the cause and effect changes that God makes.
I don't know the answers to many questions, but I agree with you that people view things the way they want - all people, that means every single one. This will always be the case.
People, just like the Source, usually have at least one reason why they do things in whatever way it pleases them, and even if they think they don't have a reason at all to do things the way that pleases them, they'll go ahead and still do it anyways, because they are human and it might be that the reasons are hidden and not in plain sight.
I am wholly for mutual benefit. A win-win is imo the best way to go about doing things.
I have feeling too. I feel I have choices. I act on choices I feel I have. I think before I act. I don't want to burn non-stop. That would be an awful experience. Really, I hope I'm spared from this. I'll obey God instead to escape my own non-stop BBQ.
