I think it's not possible to completely avoid infringement of free will, I like to think there are certain levels of infringements, for example. when you eat plant you infringed it's free will. a mother is infringing the free will of the child by telling the child not to use the stairs alone or to eat certain food, these things are sometimes necessary and what matters is the scale of infringement I think. the bigger consequence of your actions are, the more you are responsible of the results.
quote about giving advice from Latwii:
https://www.llresearch.org/transcripts/i..._1130.aspx
"Questioner: I don’t know. He’s talked to me about it before because I listened and had some knowledge that would be some encouragement. Should he be encouraged? Is he ready to be? Should he be encouraged at this point?
My brother, I am Latwii. You should neither encourage or discourage a person who is in pursuit of a phenomenon. Encourage only that the Creator may be known. The entity himself may choose the route by which he finds the Creator. For this entity, it might be the experience of astral travel. However, it is not the perquisite of any individual to give advice to another on these matters, but only to witness to one’s own feelings and knowledge of the Creator and of the methods by which he has experienced a change in his feelings, in his life, or in his work of a positive nature, due to his involvement in [a] spiritual path.
We do not mean to denigrate or, as you might say, put down astral travel. It is a natural thing to do rendered unnatural only because those of your peoples are very largely sleeping in their spirit and unaware of the possibility of separating the higher bodies from the physical body connected only by the silver cord. It is not to be encouraged any more than any other experiential phenomenon should be encouraged simply because it is unknown to anyone whether his brother may be ready for such an experience. It is impossible to judge the state of a brother or sister; therefore, it is impossible to give advice. For some this experience might be very beneficial. For others it might be terrifying due to an unfamiliarity with the process, for there are physical sensations connected with the leaving and returning to the body that are somewhat alarming to some who experience them.
Therefore, you see you are more or less in a position where you may give information but without any emotional bias. You may say, “This is what I have heard. This is information that I have been able to share but I do not know what you must do. You must seek inside yourself for the answer to that question.” In this way your friend will know you to be a person of integrity, as well as a friend who attempts to hate, to help—we will correct this instrument—a friend who attempts to help when asked."
