Carrying this analogy back to the bigger picture, we know that there is nothing we can do to change our Fate. How that Fate is to be reached is another matter entirely. A prophetically inclined employee of those companies will have kept his job on the assembly line, wisely refusing promotion after promotion. His reward will be a golden future of psychic freedom, with the monthly universal dividend check that is the reward for every citizen of the Psychic States of America. His ambitious but psychically hobbled coworker, on the other hand, through dint of hard work and pluck, will have risen to become president of General Motors, only to be lynched by angry shareholders at the final board meeting.
Nothing can alter it.
Unfortunately, limitations of time and space prevent us from revealing this knowledge in the present forum.
