Dear Carol, When I thought about the earthquake that occured on 11th March in Tohoku area, I also thought about the events in the US on September 11. Carol, do you think are there any relations of two? Yesterday, I went to hear the lecture of an Eastern Philosopher. He is the well known chinese ancient fourtune telling. March 11th earthquake means that it is a point when history will change. Anyway, If you have got any thoughts, I am happy to have your comments. Best, S.H.

 

Dear S.H.
Interesting thoughts about the 11th.  Since 11 is one of the Master Numbers, it is always referred to as The Inspirer.

Eleven refers to light, insight, revelation,  which is often delivered through film, TV, and the influence of "celebrity." Obviously, the stunning and unexpected quality of both of these events on an 11th day shocks us into waking up (again and again)  to our limited understanding, vulnerability, and precious time left to do what we came here to do.  These all sound positive, don't they, but how come it takes disasters to wake us up?
