When people say you choose all your experiences, what they mean to say that as Spirit or as one's true Consciousness, you choose/determine life before actually living it as mind. If the mind is unconscious of its true Self, then it is unconscious of its true purpose and true life. The mind then starts to create a life of its own separate to its truth. The egoic thoughts created often delay, destroy and distort the pure demonstration of one's true Consciousness trying to shine thought. Thoughts are like cloud to the sun.
Through the creation of thought therefore, in its ignorance, the egoic mind creates via the taking and creating of thought, a persona and life separate to what its true Self intended. This is unfortunate for when one is cut off from their Source consciously, one is forced to create life from the mental realm of being, which is of course, limited and dual. You cannot have a good thought without a bad one rising also. There goes our peace. One minute you have it, one minute you don’t, or other people have it and you don't etc. Moreover, if one is separated from their Source, then they are also separated from all creatures great and small, including the universe. They see themselves as apart from instead of a part of it.
Life is deterministic until one is Self-Realized. Free will is only for the free.
