Week Two - Uncertainty, Causality, and the Universe being Wierd

Uncertainty is something some western scientists won't admit to. It is this inability for flexibility that may hinder new findings from happening and changes in "facts". If Einstein never quested what was already there, then would E=MC2 even exist? Would we still think the world was flat?  It takes someone to question what is there, to dive into the uncertainty to be able to find something new and valuable.

In acupuncture, each person we meat is an uncertainty. The same treatment might not work the same from one person to the next. So we are practitioners must open our eyes to the unexpected in order to be successful. We cant local needle every pain, we cant only relay on one theory to diagnosis a patient. The ability to adapt and question even our own knowledge will lead to a greater success.


Causality is the cause and effect, why something occurs. I think about when someone has a life lesson to learn and how it keeps appearing in their lives. Again and again they meet people who push their boundaries. Do they continually allow people to push them down and which causes the cycle to continue? Or do they raise to the occasion and stand up for themselves? 

Why do these situations keep occurring? What is the purpose?

I think the Universe is weird because it has consistent inconsistencies.  I think when we stop looking at the universe linearly we can see the aspects of the universe we are uncertain about. With this new point of view, we can stop imposing what we think is supposed to be there and see its natural patterns.
