Introduction: The Multifaceted Function of “Accuracy” in Divination

The history of divination is inextricably linked with the history of humanity’s fundamental anxiety about an uncertain future. Since ancient times, diviners have been expected to possess the ability to interpret “hidden truths” from celestial movements, cracks in tortoise shells, or the arrangement of symbolic cards, and to predict forthcoming events—in other words, to achieve “accuracy.” The colloquial saying “a fortune-teller is only as good as their accuracy” suggests that the most direct value divination provides lies in the “precision of prediction.”

However, when we dissect this phenomenon from a psychological perspective, it becomes clear that accuracy is not merely about fortune-telling but is intimately connected to the consultant’s internal “Locus of Control” and their current “emotional level.”

Hidden within this paradox is a transformation process from a passive self living a deterministic future to an active self rewriting reality through free will. Ultimately, we propose a new image of the diviner as a “companion of transformation” that transcends the framework of prediction, attempting to redefine divination in the modern era.

Chapter 1: The Correlation Between Accuracy Rate and Psychological Determinism

For the phenomenon of divination “hitting the mark” to occur, there must be a certain regularity—that is, “predictability”—in an individual’s behavior and the flow of their destiny. From a behavioral psychology perspective, humans are “creatures of habit” who return specific responses to specific stimuli. The stronger this repetitive pattern, the easier statistical or symbolic prediction becomes.

1.1 The True Nature of the Expectation “Accuracy is Everything”

Behind the consultant’s demand for accuracy from the diviner lies the dominance of an “external locus of control” regarding their own life. An external locus of control is the belief that events in one’s life are determined not by one’s own power (ability or effort), but by external factors such as luck, chance, powerful others, or fate.

For consultants in this state, the future is not “something to be carved out by oneself” but “something already predetermined,” and knowing it in advance becomes the only defense mechanism. When a diviner accurately describes the present or past, the consultant experiences intense catharsis and trust. This is because their unverbalized suffering or chaotic situation is given a “name,” bringing order.

1.2 The Psychological Foundation of Predictability

When humans are in a predictable state, their mental structure exhibits a certain “rigidity.” From a Jungian psychology perspective, this is a state where consciousness is dominated by “complexes (emotionally charged composite structures)” and repeating unconscious response patterns.

As shown in the table, the more passive the consciousness, the more the future trajectory follows causality similar to physical laws, theoretically increasing accuracy. Conversely, when consciousness transitions to a creative stage, predictability decreases significantly.

Chapter 2: Abraham’s Emotional Hierarchy and the Bifurcation Point of the Future

Abraham’s “22 Emotional Stages” organizes human consciousness levels into 22 frequency bands. According to this theory, the emotional state determines an individual’s “vibration,” attracting a reality that matches it.

2.1 High Accuracy in Intermediate Emotional Stages

When consultants are in intermediate emotional stages ranging from “8. Boredom” to “15. Blame,” divination is said to be most accurate. This realm is a “zone of stagnation” where individuals have escaped strong despair but have not yet reached the point of passionately creating their own lives.

People in this stage tend to follow daily routines and make choices bound by social norms and past experiences (whether successful or failed). Their future lies on an extension of existing data, with few major leaps or unexpected turns. Therefore, planetary alignments, numerological cycles, and symbolic flows indicated by tarot tend to manifest as actual events.

2.2 Low-Level Emotions and “Destructive Accuracy”

On the other hand, when in low emotional stages from “16. Anger” to “22. Powerlessness,” the future often manifests accurately as destructive patterns. Here, accuracy takes on a strong aspect of the consultant’s “self-fulfilling prophecy.”

2.3 Correlation Model of Emotional Hierarchy and Predictability

If we denote the emotional stage as E (1 being highest, 22 being lowest) and the predictability of the future (potential accuracy rate) as P, their relationship is not a simple linear function but approximates a normal distribution peaking in the intermediate zone.

Here, μ indicates the intermediate emotional layer (around 10-15), and σ represents a variable of individual personality consistency. When emotions are extremely high (1-7), free will intervention is maximized, so predictability P approaches its minimum value. Conversely, when emotions are extremely low, unpredictable self-destructive behaviors or external interventions are likely, causing fluctuations beyond the framework of conventional divination.

Chapter 3: Self-Salvation and Transition to Internal Control

The process of “saving oneself” psychologically means a dramatic shift from “external control” to “internal control.” When consultants gain the conviction that “my life can be created through my own choices,” the relationship with divination fundamentally transforms.

3.1 Gaining “Higher Perspective” and Invalidation of Prediction

When consultants achieve spiritual growth and reach the upper levels of Abraham’s hierarchy (1. Joy, gratitude, love, freedom), they enter a state directly connected to “Source.” In this state, individual will harmonizes with universal flow, and the power to rewrite a “predetermined future” based on causality becomes active.

Those with higher perspectives do not receive divination results as “absolute prophecies” but relativize them as one “presentation of possibilities.” For example, even if divination indicates a “difficult period,” they redefine it as a “training period for growth” and minimize or even positively transform its impact through proactive actions.

3.2 The Psychological Process of Self-Salvation: Reweaving the Narrative

Self-salvation is the work of dismantling “others’ narratives” imposed by past traumas, parents, or society, and reweaving one’s own “true narrative.” The “narrative reconstruction” performed in counseling proceeds through the following steps.

1. Awareness: Recognizing the current state of passively living while swallowing others’ values.
2. Emotional Unburdening: Expressing suppressed anger and sadness, releasing energy.
3. Introspection (Looking Within): Listening to one’s true deep wishes and voice.
4. Proactive Choice: Choosing concrete actions based on the will of “this is how I want to be.”

Individuals who have gone through this process are no longer “subjects of divination.” They become the “authors” of their own lives, reclaiming authority for themselves (empowerment). When a diviner laments that predictions “stopped being accurate,” it actually indicates the consultant’s true independence—the highest form of success compensation.

Chapter 4: Reinterpreting Synchronicity and Projection Through Jungian Psychology

To understand why divination is accurate and why it stops being accurate, Carl Jung’s concepts of “synchronicity” and “projection” are essential.

4.1 Divination as Externalization of the Unconscious

What occurs in divination sessions is a process where the consultant’s unconscious content is “projected” onto external symbols such as cards or stars. When consultants feel divination is “accurate,” it is the moment when their unrecognized true feelings or shadow are visualized through the mirror of divination results.

According to Jung, synchronicity is a phenomenon where “internal events (mind)” and “external events (reality)” are connected through “meaning” without causal relationships.

4.2 Expansion of Consciousness and Dissolution of Projection

As the consultant’s perspective rises, the need to project their inner world outward disappears. When metacognitive abilities improve and they can directly observe and integrate conflicts and desires within themselves, the motivation to seek answers from external symbols (divination) weakens.

For people who reach this stage, synchronicity transforms from a “surprising coincidence” into an “everyday phenomenon” where their intentions resonate with reality. Instead of being surprised by “why this was accurate,” they think “naturally, my current state is reflected in this card” and calmly process it as material for their next action.

Chapter 5: Transformation of the Diviner’s Raison d’être: From Oracle to Companion

If the ultimate goal is for consultants to achieve self-salvation and for divination to “stop being accurate,” what significance should the profession of diviner hold? Here, a transition is necessary from the conventional “Oracle” model that prioritizes “hitting the mark” to a “Companion” model that supports consultant independence.

5.1 Defining the Role of Modern Diviners

Diviners of the new era should function as catalysts for consultants to “create their future through their own power.” Specifically, the following three roles are required.

• Translator of the Unconscious: Bridging subtle sensations that consultants cannot verbalize and suppressed possibilities using symbols and language. Here, more important than “hitting the mark” is helping consultants find expressions that “feel right.”
• Facilitator of Emotion: Discerning where consultants currently stand in Abraham’s emotional hierarchy and providing concrete perspectives for transitioning one stage higher (to a state with more freedom). For example, strategic support is needed, such as affirming “anger” as a means to regain energy for despairing consultants who cannot immediately feel “joy.”
• Co-creator of Narrative: Becoming the “first reader” and “editor” as consultants break free from past constraints and begin writing a new life narrative. Diviners present symbols from cards or stars as “seeds of possibility” and consider together with consultants how to cultivate them.

5.2 Integration of Divination with Coaching and Counseling

Modern excellent divination sessions are becoming a form of mental support that highly integrates counseling and coaching techniques rather than pure prophecy.

Diviners as companions celebrate it as the greatest “success” when divination stops being accurate as a result of consultants “saving themselves.” They must accept the paradox that the moment their raison d’être disappears is the highest achievement as professionals.

Chapter 6: Practical Approaches to Facilitating Self-Salvation

We examine specific methods for diviners to support consultant self-salvation and ultimately guide them to a state where they “stop being accurate (become free).”

6.1 Questioning Techniques to Promote Locus of Control Transition

When consultants ask “What will happen?” seeking accurate future prediction, companion-type diviners respond with questions, pulling the locus of control inward.

• “The divination result shows a tendency toward ○○, but how do you feel upon hearing this?”
• “If you could change this result 180 degrees through your will, what kind of future would you want?”
• “If this difficult situation is a lesson prepared for your growth, what will you learn from it?”

These inquiries elevate consultants from “receivers of fate” to “observers and creators of reality.”

6.2 “Vibrational Adjustment” to Climb the Emotional Hierarchy

Based on Abraham’s teachings, incorporate work to raise consultants’ emotional levels during sessions.

• Gratitude Process (Process 1): When emotional levels are relatively high, focus on the “good points” in current life and verbalize them, strengthening alignment with Source.
• Emotional Journaling and Writing (Process 22 onwards): When emotional levels are low, first write out raw emotions (anger, dissatisfaction) on paper and begin by accepting those emotions. Accompany the process of catching naturally emerging thoughts and exploring even slightly “relieving” ways of thinking.

6.3 Shadow Integration and Reclaiming Projection

Using Jungian psychology methods, perform work (shadow work) to accept “inconvenient content for oneself” appearing in divination results as part of oneself.

Having the courage to face one’s “shadow” is the key to rebuilding reality without escaping to easy spirituality.

Chapter 7: “Meaning Generation” Beyond Accuracy and Modern Ethics

When divination transcends the dualism of “accurate or not,” a new value of “meaning generation” emerges.

7.1 Freedom of Interpretation and Resilience

The essence of divination lies in giving scattered, seemingly meaningless events a unified “narrative context.” For example, telling a consultant experiencing continuous misfortune that “now is winter before harvest, a time to put down roots” has an effect that enhances the consultant’s resilience (recovery elasticity) beyond mere consolation.

7.2 New Ethical Perspectives in Divination

The value system of “accuracy is everything” sometimes places diviners in a position of “dominator.” Creating dependency through repeated accuracy, making consultants unable to live without one’s prophecies, violates professional ethics.

A truly ethical diviner acknowledges the limits of their prophecies and encourages consultants to walk on their own feet. Like the reputation of the “healer” depicted by Isak Dinesen, even if reputation rises through complete recovery cases, humility is required to brush it aside and always pay respect to the consultant’s life force.

Chapter 8: Conclusion

This transformation process is the true dynamism of self-salvation born at the intersection where modern psychology and ancient divination meet.
