I do not think that it is describing determinism. I am not sure how you did come to this conclusion. Perhaps you can elaborate more deeply? I think that this piece extends our control over our free will (i.e. gives us more free will) because it helps us to see and understand our inner state more clearly. But I think that strictly following it can also be limiting because it will leave out unexpected outcomes. For example you may not go to see some concert/play etc because you have estimated how it would affect your mental state and have decided it to be not worthwhile. Perhaps it would have been a ground breaking experience you could not have ever imagined.
