The truth is very unpleasant and controversial. Unfortunately, most people simply do not have free will. Most people do not have sufficiently energized and cleansed chakras, and for this reason, they are manipulated by various egregors (egregors are intelligent collective thought clusters that have great power to control and manipulate an unprotected person) and so-called energy programs. Every person has free will to a different extent – some less, some more. Although every person inherently has free will, it is strongly limited by other influences.

Free decisions?
People make a lot of decisions in their lives. Basically, every day a person makes various decisions about what to do and what not to do. Although everyone thinks that their decisions are their own free decisions, in reality this is not the case and often involves various external influences.
Forming an opinion
People think that they have formed their opinions and views on various things freely. A given person may mistakenly believe that it is their own opinion, which they have freely created. In reality, however, the person has succumbed to a manipulative egregore.
The most serious manifestation of unfreedom
I perceive the most serious manifestation of unfreedom as the fact that even if people learned the truth and knowledge – that is, the knowledge of shamanism (which is the path to true and complete freedom and the path to eliminating suffering) – they are not able to truly accept this knowledge into their lives. Various energetic programs of religion, materialism, atheism, etc., prevent people from doing so. Despite the fact that practicing meditation techniques can bring incredible benefits to a person, even if people learned about these techniques and benefits, they would say it's some kind of nonsense and so on. Or they would completely ignore this information and it would not resonate with them. Only after a basic energetic cleansing from various programs (which can be done, for example, by an experienced indigenous tribal shaman) can a person take shamanic knowledge seriously in their life and actually start practicing these meditation techniques. And even if a person wanted to do meditation techniques, they have weak willpower and instead of meditating, they would rather surf the internet or watch TV – they are not able to commit to meditation. As long as a person is heavily contaminated by programs and enslaved by them, they will be very "resistant" to information about shamanic knowledge, even though shamanic techniques would bring enormous practical benefits to their life. However, there are also people (and there are many of them) who, even if they were free, want to go the path of ignorance, self-deception, voluntarily want to suffer, and do not want to be helped.
Crisis in meditation. Severely depressed mood?
(15.1.2017) First of all, it must be said that meditation is something very positive and there is no need to be afraid of it. However, during the meditation process, a kind of meditative crisis can sometimes occur. In the course of meditation and the process of self-discovery, a person begins to realize that they are influenced by various negative influences that they had not been aware of before, which make them unfree (caused by negative energetic programs and energetic pollution). A person learns an unpleasant truth about themselves. Often, a person has to go through difficult periods and this can even lead to strongly depressive moods. It is important never to give up and to fight, not to succumb to despair, helplessness, or melancholy, even though it is often extremely difficult.
Failure in meditation can also be a reason for a major crisis – a person often resents the beings of light for not helping them. Why they don't help is explained here.

Going the way of shamanism is always worth it – it is better to learn the unpleasant truth than to be deceived in pleasant ignorance and be a slave who loves his slavery (and this applies mainly to religion).
