Free will.
Not long ago I stumbled on an article where a trusted psychologist proposed that free will does not exist, that we really have no freedom to choose because we are programed to follow certain objectives and believe certain things, and that we don't really choose anything. That is partially true, and partially incorrect, and like any "scientific suggestion" it can be weaponized in many ways, mostly against us.
The debate around free will, if there is any, would be between determinism and libertarianism: the first suggests that events are a result of a previous cause, the second debates that there is freedom to choose from. Quantum mechanics leans slightly towards the second, where the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that the chain of causality is broken leaving room for non-determined outcomes.
The psychologist's claim however is not unfounded, it reflects the current state of society and of most people walking by. "Normal" people have very little free will, I would agree. Everything they know has been prescribed and pre-digested in order to create a unique worldview that constrains their freedom of choice. In the current model we are living, we need very little external coercion, normal people themselves are the agents of their own societal control.
The divinations given by this oracle are then not a system of determined states of magical time. There is a certain frequency that resonates with the daily nawal, but then the role of the oracle is to lead a path of medicine, of healing and growth. If taken, then it leads to the full revelation of what is here prescribed. For today, ending the Ajpuu trecena, we are to find and clarify how much agency we truly have in our lives. This is possible if we come to terms and accept the external situation, what is not in our control, something that we have a hard time with.
We are to see that we do have an option always, it just isn't what we want or wanted to see. At a "quantum" psychological level, our freedom of choice is there but in harmony with continuity and congruence, meaning you have to make a choice and stick with it. Freedom is not changing your mind every day or never making it up. If you want to walk this path towards freedom, accept the little freedom you have to choose and make a choice, then stick with it. This portal opens today and tomorrow with the beginning of the next trecena. This is the ultimate spiritual test that presents today: make a choice that is truly yours, truly what you want, and keep choosing it against everything that doesn't want you to be free.
