with LFT, I have entered a location where I do not know what I am doing, but I do it to find out what, if anything, I've done, and that I don't find out until it is too late to do it differently.... LFT makes so many predictions, and I do not yet know all of the predictions nor how to determine what all of the predictions are let alone try to fulfill the predictions, sometimes forcing possibility on that which (for me) has been impossible.
