What Do I Have to Deal With Today?

We're not driven by the past like deterministic machines. We are to some degree, but forget about that. You wake up and you have a set of obligations waiting for it. And then somehow you're able to decide which of those possibilities you're going to manifest. A world comes into being out of the potential, right? That's what you're interacting with. It's not one-to-one because you can make mistakes.
