In the study of the spiritual world, all we can do is rely on pattern recognition—and with such an intricate web of influences, even the greatest mind and most-earnest soul can easily confuse an influence as greater or lesser than it is (or misunderstand its essential nature altogether).
The dynamic your teacher identified is no doubt a force in reality, but I think it’s getting blown out of proportion.
What child wants to starve to death today? Which family in the Middle East or Ukraine secretly hoped a bomb would find their farm?
Humans may be godlike, but we are not gods. Humanism only serves the malicious, the lazy, and/or the fearful. We are not in control.
“I returned and saw under the sun that—
The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and chance happen to them all.
For man also does not know his time:
Like fish taken in a cruel net,
Like birds caught in a snare,
So the sons of men are snared in an evil time,
When it falls suddenly upon them.”
– Solomon
