All of the mitzvoth have but one purpose and that is our increasing connection with Hashem. This has the effect of making things right; making order out of chaos. What happens in mind follows:
Beyond all distinctions there is the synthesis that takes place within where all things are harmonized and unified. Hashem reveals the way through our own transparency. That transparency comes about as a result of letting go of the attachments or the klippoth.
This letting go has a two-fold nature. One is allow the transparency of thought to function as it was intended to and the other is that the klippoth, being deprived of the sustenance of attachment thereby becomes transparent within themselves and as a result the Tikkun (correction) of redemption is effected.
How is this accomplished? When we immerse ourselves in Torah we open various pathways within called interpretations within that connect each river of transparency within.
What then becomes of paramount importance is our awareness of what is happening while it is happening because in this way we are able to proactively open those doors when even the faintest glimmer of transparency comes through as a result of the mikveh of awareness without attachment.
Think about two opposing thoughts and their synthesis. Sometimes one thought is diametrically opposed to the other thought as we find with good and evil. However when good stays in its element the attraction of opposites is diminished and evil is thereby transcended in exactly the same way the klippoth mentioned above are dissipated.
When this kind of transparency makes itself known within you even in your unconscious moments will you be able to know the truth, the right from the wrong inside of your own thoughts unifying thoughts on the fly one after another.
The immediate result of the experience of this transparency described is that your life benefits from the benefit of that awareness. Every circumstance not only contains enormous mazal but you recognize that this source of beneficence is directly as a result of hashgacha pratis (divine providence)
You look around then and say oh this is the way things are supposed to be. You come to expect this and all because your trust in Hashem has become so complete that it is not even any longer a cause and effect relationship. What happens is that everything you do then is exactly what Hashem would have you do.
Events flash forward giving you time prepare so that the decision making progress is absent in that you already know that it is right to proceed without any questions.
Every prayer, morning, afternoon and evening is then yet another opportunity to groove these transparencies as you would place an oar in the water to move you forward so too you would place your thoughts in the right way to move your life forward.
Therefore even with a supreme level of free will you recognize that you are most free listening for and to Hashem in all of your actions. Nothing else matters! Chaos resolves itself as bits of debris are absorbed within a centrifuge. Life presents problems and Hashem provides solutions.
In this sense just as in this weeks Mishpatim the many mitzvoth seem to limit our actions when in truth they define our relationship to life to Hashem to everything that reflects the being that is now in perfect harmony with all that is.
Then moment-by-moment you stand aside in wonder singing praises
Psalm 21:4 For Thou meetest him with choicest blessings; Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.
