This is something that almost every source has agreed upon. It is that we, human beings, have free will (also known as free choice) and all spiritually evolved beings will not infringe upon our free will. That is why, our spiritual guides can only advise us and not tell us what to do. We have to make up our own mind.
According to Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch:
When I created life as you know it, I did so by simply separating myself into countless smaller parts of me. This is another way of saying that you were made “in the image and likeness of God.”
Now because God is The Creator, that means that all of you are creators, too. You have free will, just as I have free will. If I had not given you free will, you could not create, but only react. If you could only do what I tell you to do, then you could not create, but only obey.
Obedience is not creation. It is an act of subservience, not an act of power. God is not subservient to anyone, and since you are a part of God, you are, by nature, not subservient to anyone, either.
That is why, when you are made to be subservient, you immediately revolt. It is against your very nature. It is a violation of Who You Are at the very core of your being.

Kryon (channeled by Lee Carroll) has offered an interesting perspective:
Your planet is totally unique. Although many in the universe have “choice,” yours is the only planet with free choice to evolve spiritually to a place where it actually broaches the divine… free choice to bring an entire world of beings into ascension status, or destruction. No other world has this latitude, or this contract, or the purpose of this earth. Yours is the only one that has free choice on how high or low to vibrate!
