The Principle of Extremity
We mentioned the importance of maintaining BALANCE (ie the Principle of Moderation) in the study of Chinese Metaphysics. However, in the event, where :-
- the DM is OVERLY STRONG ; or
- the DM is OVERLY WEAK ; or
- the Chart is OVERLY COLD ; or
- the Chart is OVERLY HOT,
We have to FOLLOW THE MAJORITY.
No great man ever complains of want of opportunities.

Dear Master,
ReplyDeleteI am confuse...what you mean follow the majority?
Could you elaborate?
Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteIf the DM is wood, but the chart is dominated mainly & totally by metal, the DM have to follow the metal.
Which mean to say, the favorable element (in this example) is metal.
