Put simply, "my" past events are unchangeable - dead. But their effects or residues in the mind-field cause "my" present events.
My past actions predict my present actions in the same or similar situations.
Cleaning in Heartfulness removes the mind-field residues at subtler levels, reducing the intensity of events. Total cleaning may even prevent events altogether.
Cleaning removes emotional residues - samskaras. I can act now without being bogged down by my past emotional reactions. But only I can let go of my tendency to act as I did in the past. This can be done only by acting differently. Again and again, repeatedly, until a new mental habit is in place for those situations.
Free will lies entirely in my present actions - thoughts, speech, and physical actions. But the range or spectrum of possible actions in situations is dramatically increased by cleaning.
