History repeats itself in the 60 year cycle of Chinese metaphysics.<br /><br />Mary<br />www.marybax.comMary Catherine Baxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712900575772925385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189927003438800028.post-76664039278404754442010-08-01T05:51:38.583-07:002010-08-01T05:51:38.583-07:00Dear Joseph,

As you said it may not be an identical cycle. Perhaps it is man's intervention that is the factor. Man can choose, he may be influenced, but ultimately it is his choice.<br /><br />We look at Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1942, could the same annual qi of the previous year, Xin Si, had an influence of those in power in Japan? Sept. 11, 2001, 59 years later, US is attacked again from the sky with metal and fire. <br /><br />With conversations with many of your students there was concern in 2005 as it was 60 years since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, yet nothing happened. For all that is said about George Bush, thank God he did not make the same choice as Harry Truman. <br /><br />Like you I hope the West will see Chinese metaphysics more than fortune telling or a new age fad but for the military strategic benefits that it offered the ancient Chinese generals such as Sun Tzu and Zhuge Liang. <br /><br />How better prepared could magnanimous leaders of corporations, banks, the auto industry and government for this difficult time we are in if they had better understood the weather forecast of this Jia Shen decade?<br /><br />Mary<br />www.marybax.comMary Catherine Baxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712900575772925385noreply@blogger.com
