The dao (way) of the SUN

[LAOLONG]

the Sun is rising in the east
And decline in the west.
In history the empires
Begen geographical in the east ,
And throw time shift to the west
Till the empire reached America
The west the decline of the SUN.

I don't think its a competition.  Not yet anyway.  By taking on many aspects of 'western capitalism' China has taken 100's of millions of there people away from abject poverty.  A good thing, but with it comes the problems of industrialization.  They're going to have to deal with it; find ways to keep production and curb pollution.  Keep the prosperity while holding onto tradition and family values.  Quite a challenge and hopefully they're up to it. 

 

Personally I'd rather see the U.S do more work on.. Happiness quotient, ie education, free time, social net, better infrastructure.. then military and highest GDP.   If some other country wants to play world police, more power to them.. but I'd rather see a time of consolidation and improvement here in the U.S.  Improvement being better infrastructure, schools, hospitals.. a refocus on well being of the family.  

 

Moving up the ranks of world education, health, and general measure of happiness. 

 

No sense in becoming world top dog, whilst the majority of citizens are unhappy.

When the SUN (EMPIRE) was traveling west from europe

To the U.S it had to pass the 

Atlantic ocean 1939-1945

The black sun period

I know a little about that but not enough to get into a discussion of.

 

The Nazis were into a lot of stuff trying to prove their Aryan ancestry.

The world is heading to a

BLACK SUN period (ww3 ?)

And the empire will rise in

The far east (china?)

Death, the end.

 

In Tarot the 13th Trump is traditionally Death.  Possibly scary but in truth it means change. 

Change is change,

could be good, could be bad,

could be what we make it. 

Upright it can mean endings, profound change, letting go of attachments.

Reversed it can mean living unaware, resistance to change, delaying a needed ending.

 

Death and change are good to consider but a poor thing to obsess on.  Life is change, and most of our effort should be towards living well.

Ah!, but death brings upon a new beginning.

 

Yes, death is just another of the changes the universe undergoes.
