I have always comes across people who would brushed aside Fate-Calculation as superstition and at the same time, there are people who are still fascinated by it. I would like to quote a paragraph from a book titled “ Chinese Mathematical Astrology”, authored by Ho Peng Yoke.
“…if we were to extend to some of these traditional Chinese methods of fortune-telling the same amount of tolerance that we accord to many of our modern efforts of predicting future events, such as weather forecasting, stock market futures, Gallup polls, etc. – none of which ever guarantees precise accuracy but nevertheless are accepted as legitimate exercises – it can be demonstrated that the Ziping method of fate-calculation is one of those methods worthy of our attention. The Ziping method does not use scientific instruments to observe temperature, air pressure, humidity and air movement as the weather forecaster does, nor computers to analyse the trend of share prices like some stock-market consultants, nor public opinion polls like the political analyst ….. but it is consistent with the same principles that explain traditional science. It does not involve the supernatural and hence the word ‘superstitious’ is not applicable….”
Something we can all think about.
