Will creatures (as described in the Urantia book) are creatures which:

1) feel and think (at some level all living creatures do)
2) ARE AWARE OF what they are thinking and feeling
3) On the basis of (2) exercise the faculty of FREE WILL
to decide what "they" want and then act in some manner
in accordance with that

Items 2 & 3 are the cornerstone of the creation of "the ego"
which is the framework for all "human" cognition.

As Adi Da points out, a central characteristic of the ego is its sense of "separation" and "difference". On the other hand, thought and feeling arise IN Consciousness and NOT in the illusorily "separate" being.

Confuse you enough?

Bakatcha! Namaste!
