You want to know what is going to happen. You want to know if the relationship will work out. If the business will succeed. If the health scare is serious.

If the decision you are agonizing over is the right one. You want certainty the way a drowning person wants air - desperately, single-mindedly, with a conviction that you will not survive without it.

And every system available to you - religion, psychology, astrology, spiritual practice, self-help - is selling you some version of certainty. Follow these steps and you will be happy.

Use this technique and you will manifest your desires. Adopt this belief and you will be saved. The promise is always the same: do this, and you will not have to live in the terror of the unknown.
