The Japanese Zen-Tea Ceremony decended from the Chinese Tao Master 'Tsao-Tung'
whose
school was called simply 'Quiet Sitting' aka
contemplative-calmness-centeredness///yadda yadda.
?QUIET SITTNG/TEA & Tsao-Tung:
These days to be called 'Tsao-Tung' by anyone Taiwanese and or Mainland Chinese
is to refer
to somebody simply as 'tea-drinker.'
Japanese WW-II aspirations to relocate/colonize Australia was based upon the
long-standing Zen/Shinto
Prophesies in ancient Japanese lore that what is happening now to Japan herald
it's eminent destruction.
This would be the PERFECT TIME to make the Japanese an offer of RELOCATION that
they could'nt refuse. . .
There INTELLECTUAL/SCIENTIFIC/CULTURAL treasures would WELL BE WORTH absorption
by a sponsoring country
with LOTS OF EXTRA SPACE. . . And the U.S. could sure use a NOBEL CAUSE and a
STIMULATIVE SHOT IN THE OLD
ECONOMIC KEISTER aka as notable Japanese Resources. . . .
Short of that: Only a Hot-Nuke or two will acceptably expend the fuel
promising an ongoing Super-Chernobyl and since
the AXIS IS SHIFTING BACK to INTER-GLACIAL GYRO-STABILITY-EQUILIBRIUM the next
Tsunami; and the next; is soon
to ERADICATE JAPAN as a major planetary Gold-Mine-Resourse and give us A GRIM
SEA-FLOOR-SERIES/MATRIX of CHERNOBYLS.
This is the HAND-WRITING ON THE WALL FOLKS. . . we wise up, get CREATIVELY
GENEROUS, or put our heads between our legs and KISS THE PLANETARY FUTURE
ADIOS. . . .
Not the time for contemplative-QUIET SITTING
