If free will is observed as the act of moderation between extremes where the extremes themselves are absences of the will, human being can be both free in the respect a choice of moderation acts as a rational extension of God while any extreme is merely an absence of being in and of itself.

The article concludes: " As for freedom, it should be seen as no more than a psychological state that any man may experience for as long as he has no ill will, regardless of changes of circumstance"
Yes, freedom is a psychological state, but it is one that is free of the lies and propaganda of charlatans.
