CHAPTER SIX

  Fore-Sight is perhaps the most interesting of our gifts. It would be impossible to navigate the energy fluctuations and surges in the Void without seeing the probabilities. To see the most likely probabilities a few moments into the future can be a matter of life and death for those traversing the Void. Yet for those who would look beyond mere moments, to peer into probability matrices beyond the near future, it has always been rather problematic. Some claim it to be a creative exercise, to explore possibilities and to be alerted to unforeseen complications, and I understand these arguments. The longer in the future one peers, however, the more the "human matrix" affects the probability matrix. A cascade of human decisions affects the future, and human decisions can be so random and arbitrary. Yet, somehow, powerful revelations do occur. The awe and the mystery of the Void continue to compel generation after generation after all these centuries. The term "Priestess" seems just as valid today as it did centuries ago.
