As usual, I’m scratching along in my own analytical way, looking for “keys.” For me, that often involves attempts at integrating various “reality maps” I’ve encountered that make sense as individual systems. Numerology would be one example, but seems limited when I approach it in isolation. Feng Shui<\/a> has appeal, but I haven’t totally bought into the premise. For a long time, Bruce<\/a> has made references to Chinese medicine, but my investigation into Chinese thought has been confined to a study of the Book of Changes or I Ching<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n

Today I read a short magazine article by Mark Blessington<\/a>. We must think along the same lines, because he’s made an impressive start at applying the principles of Chinese medicine to the relationships between money and people. There’s often a fine distinction between genuine insight and wacky diversion, I must admit, but I would say that Blessington’s ideas about achieving a balance in money elements<\/a> deserves the benefit of the doubt.\n<\/p>\n
