There is no such thing as possibility. Possibility is just the word for expectation. Expectations and guesses are our system for dealing with the invisible future which can only really occur in one determined way. The future is the present; there is no instant when the present will turn into the future except for the infinite instant each of us breathes in. Every single decision, which is actually a reaction, brings the next link in the chain of life we knit from the single thread of desire. It never could have happened any other way.
There is only what did happen, which determines what is happening, which determines what will happen. Our knowledge of this system is inextricably intertwined with the outcome of this system. Saying "Anything is possible." is the equivalent of saying "I know nothing," or "There are no expectations." On the other hand, one who knows everything (omniscience) can do anything (omnipotence).
