If everything is foreseen, what is the role of human aspiration and effort?
In each domain (physical, vital and mental) everything is foreseen; but the intrusion of a higher domain (overmental and beyond) introduces another determinism into events and can change the course of things. This is what aspiration can achieve.
As for human effort, it is one of the things that are determined and its role is foreseen in the overall play of forces.
