My word! I imagine it is hard for philosophies of what ever stripe to see things as simply as they may be. To really get to the bottom of any of this, I imagine we must examine what we mean, exactly, by the words: free, will, difference, sameness, and all the rest of the words we use for thinking and speaking. That process may be too plodding for the mind (otherwise correlations would be selling like hotcakes!). The mind wants to get ‘it’ done quickly and move on to greener pastures of thought.
Yet, without intimately knowing the ‘tools’ (words and names) we use to frame our thoughts, don’t we just end up chasing our own tail, jumping from pasture to pasture in search of where, ironically, we already are? On the other hand, once you start returning to those ‘tools’ you may end up using words but rarely, unless you’re like me and just keep babbling on. 
I reckon the same principle of over complicating the simple applies to all avocations (life callings). If your ‘into’ art, you’re inclined to make artistic distinctions where in nature there are none, i.e., there is no beauty or ugly, good or bad from nature’s point of view, as I see it anyway. If you’re into music, pitch and tempo become larger than life, and so on down the line.
Now there is nothing wrong with any of this. In fact, it is what makes the world go round, at least our corner of it. What would human life be like if everyone was aware of the mole hills that lie beneath the mountains we make? Maybe we really are more aware than we think. It is my sense that we all are ‘wise sages’ in everything, save that in which we have a vested interest, a ‘life calling’. That vested interest blinds us; all we see is the reflection of what is important to us. It is spooky.
