The future is as knowable as the past. And it is knowable because the past is known. That the work
of Creation might never cease, out of Death arises new Life forever and ever.
What is this Place all About?:
Am I serious? Oh yes, I *am* serious -- very serious. This site is not "for entertainment purposes
only". These are real predictions made by a real person who fully expects to see real and verifiable
results. There will be no cheating. The news results are straight off the wires and out of major
newspapers and the television. If I'm right, I will be seen to be right; if I am wrong, I will
be seen to be wrong.
Be welcome here. Come on in, pull up a chair and have a seat and prepare for a good read. This
site navigates horizontally, in descending layers. It's very important not to move up and down
only but sideways too!! Test what you read here. *Please* test my words -- take notes, print pages,
make yourself a copy! Be sceptical. Then come back when the dates have passed and read of their
fulfilment. Decide for yourself how true it all is.
Write me and tell me what you think.
Who is this Ping Wu???
"Ping Wu" is the pen-name of the very first Eastern Taoist astrologer on the Internet. He landed
on the net in 1990, when it was still very much in its infancy compared to today. The Web had just
been invented then and was known to only a few academics interested in transoceanic research
collaboration. Gopher servers were considered to be high-tech and cutting edge. Usenet news was
not yet generally available. Listservers were the primary points of congregation and chatting.
Everything was text-only -- there were no graphics, not even naughty pictures.
Discovering himself alone in the world as a Taoist astrologer on the Internet, he set about
to carve out a niche for himself. He honed his skills at prophetic insights in private and then
began to test the waters with a few public predictions in 1991, first on the Listservers, then
finally out on Usenet, irregularly at first and then daily throughout 1994 until it got to be a
bit too strenuous. After a hiatus in 1995, the predictions resumed through this site in autumn
of 1996 and have been regular ever since.
How on Earth are you doing this?:
Anyone can learn to do what I am doing here. How? By putting your ear to the ground and listening
to the songs of life, to the rhythm of the Earth and the heartbeat of the universe. It hums, it
throbs, it purrs. Sometimes it roars.
The Earth sings with Life. Not life, merely, but Life. And I believe in everlasting Life. Life
without end. Life without cease. Life welling up out of the depths forever and ever. Bubbling,
burbling Life, straight out of the wellspring of Eternal Chaos. Life that knows no
decrease, no diminishment, no bounds. It sustains. It transforms. It overwhelms. It creates and
it destroys and then it creates anew. It knows no favourites and bears no grudges. It is bountiful
in its love and merciless in its verdicts. So long as we fail to understand it, we doom ourselves
to a pointless struggle and endless misery.
What am I to Learn from this?:
Knowledge alone does not necessarily change all that much. It does not make us wiser,
more prudent or circumspect. There was a time when I worried about such things. Literature's
constant warning to the Time Traveller intent on visiting the past is to be the obedient
observer only and not to seek to change the course of events or to in any way interfere
in the workings of Fate.
Not so. In the Valley of the Blind, the one-eyed man is not the king but an anomaly. The blind
carry on their merry way and treat their "king" for his "illness" ...
As one wise man once wrote:
This is a diary. But it is a diary of the future and not of the past. Here you can read the headlines
of months to come long before they are set in type and run through the presses.
I make no claim of special powers. I am not a psychic, although I do have waking visions, induced
in part by overwhelming knowledge. I am not the reincarnation of anyone special. My feet touch
the earth when I walk. :-) I am the scholar first: an historian, an astrologer, a mystic, a student
of human nature on a planetary scale.
Peace, serenity and knowledge. Question your impulses. Do not demand rain when the sun must shine.
Do not look for the sun when it must rain. But, likewise and even more importantly, do not add
your thunder to the storm. It can make lots of noise on its own, without your help! Listen to the wind
in the trees and learn to move with them.
Do not look for a lot of explanations here. There is a book in the works -- the world will
have to wait for that and be content with that. Here is to be found only the message and
some few insights into the messenger.
