First of all, no person can express more god than another. Either people ARE an expression of god or they are not. If they are, then all people are always an expression of god no matter what they are doing.
The manifestation of such 'expression' will depend on the free will choices of the individual... if the soul is conscious, unconscious, or deliberately chooses to oppose God (Spirit, Infinity, Intent, Life, Reality, what have you) then the manifestations will be different... they will differ in essence and quality.
If all is god (as those who believe in god put forth) then all manifestations ARE god. A robber, a thief, a side walk crossing guard...all expressions of god. If god made you (as those who believe in god believe), then all of you is a part of god...your hate, your anger, your joy, your stillness...every last thing, including your opposition to god.
If the bottom line, in essense, is that all is god...then the notion of difference is a false one.
Following this logic, then free choice has little effect on the premise. If everything is an expression of god...to cross the street is as much and expression of god as not crossing the street.
