A compass is a direction finding instrument used to navigate your way. It doesn’t tell you where to go as much as help you orient yourself relative to where you are and where you want to be.  A magnetic compass points to “true north” and is the one most of us either know about or have used at one time or another. It can be a handy tool to have available when you are lost or want to know if you are on track or not in terms of where you are heading. The matrix acts as in inner compass once you learn to use it.
