There is no point trying to emotionally blackmail people to join or acknowledge a cult using the argument they have freewill when the very same cult states people do not have free will & therefore they need a saviour.
Often, when people try to meditate, they cannot control their thoughts. This shows they do not have free will.
For example, when Martin Luther tried to be a monk & meditate, he basically went insane.
This shows, generally, there is no free will & only a very rare fully enlightened mind has free-will.
