Terry Davis was really ahead of the curve on this with his "god says" / GodSpeaks program. For anyone unaware of what that was, here's a Rust port [0].

Anyway, I think divination tends to get a pretty negative reputation, but there's healthy and safe applications of the concept which can be used to help you reflect and understand yourself. The "divine" part is supposed to come from your interpretation and analysis of the output, not in the generation of the output itself. Humans don't have perfect introspection capabilities (see: riders on an elephant), so external tools can help us explore and reflect on our reactions to external stimuli.

One day a man was having a hard time deciding between two options, so he flipped a coin; the coin landed tails and at that moment he became enlightened and realized that he actually wanted to do the heads outcome all along.
