[Expert Column] Quantum Choices That Separate Winners from Losers

Myungri Perspective on Opening Fortune:
Transforming the Wave of Chong (Conflict) into Strategic Energy

On the day of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the sky was filled with uncertainty, with a 50% chance of rain.

Instead of simply submitting to the dictates of the heavens, the authorities chose to intervene actively, launching 1,104 silver iodide rockets.

This act, which condensed the clouds and drove the rain away from the stadium, resulted in a clear sky over the opening ceremony venue.

This represents a symbolic intersection between modern physics' "Quantum Mechanics" and the Eastern philosophy of "Myungri" (destiny analysis).

It suggests that destiny is not a fixed scenario, but a probabilistic narrative that is shaped at every moment by human judgment and intervention.

The often-quoted saying, "Those who are meant to succeed will succeed," is not an expression of fatalistic resignation, but rather a recognition of the capabilities of a "prepared observer."

From the perspective of quantum mechanics, the future exists in a state of "superposition," where infinite possibilities overlap.

Those who achieve success are those who, like Beijing’s rockets, know how to intervene in the clouds of probability before them and condense the reality they desire, just as in the "collapse of the wave function."

Just as Liu Bei broke through a critical point of destiny by recognizing and keeping the invaluable connection with Zhao Zilong, this was the result of Liu Bei’s judgment in identifying the value of that relationship and keeping him close.

In this way, destiny is not a predetermined conclusion, but rather a combination of variables that produces the optimal path by merging personal will with the fortune of others.

The downfall of a politician who had enjoyed repeated re-election or a celebrity who had basked in public praise, brought about by the revelations of a close associate, is never a mere coincidence.

While the public may attribute this to "luck running out" or "meeting the wrong person," from the perspective of "quantum entanglement," it is the result of one's own judgment being projected outward.

The universe is connected by invisible threads of energy.

The relationships I choose to keep close are a "product of observation" that reflects my inner state and energy.

Entanglements formed with dishonest intentions will inevitably reveal their true nature along the trajectory of time.

The revelations of a close associate are not an external disaster, but rather the return of a "misguided rocket" that one launched in the past, now coming back on its orbit.

Ultimately, every outcome of success or failure is a manifestation of one's own judgment, reflected through the mirror of others.

In Myungri, if "Myeong" (destiny) is the unique specification of a car, then "Un" (fortune) is the skill of the driver who operates it.

Some less scrupulous fortune-tellers instill fear by predicting disaster when "Chong" (conflict) appears in a person's Saju (Four Pillars), but this distorts the essence of Myungri.

True "Gaeun" (opening of fortune) lies in reading the dictates of the heavens and moving strategically.

For example, even if the energy of "Inseong" (seal star, representing scholarly pursuits) is weak and static academic progress is difficult, if the original chart contains the energy of "Sangkwan" (creative expression), then the period when "Chong" (conflict) arrives should be transformed into an opportunity.

Rather than remaining in a stagnant environment, one should boldly seek "movement" or change, such as going abroad, to acquire new skills.

The phenomenon of "Gaego" (opening the vault), which occurs at this time, unleashes dormant energy and creates new possibilities.

For those who correct their own trajectory, "Chong" (conflict) is not a disaster but a siren announcing the beginning of a new narrative.

The rockets in Beijing, Liu Bei’s connection with Zhao Zilong, and the downfall of those in power all convey a consistent truth.

Humans are not passive components of the vast machine that is the universe, but "co-creators" who observe reality and select relationships at every moment.

We must cultivate the wisdom of "acceptance," humbly receiving the dictates of the heavens, but also muster the courage to launch our own rockets and forge precious connections.

At the same time, we must reflect on whether our own judgments are creating entanglements laced with poison.

Destiny is not a process of reading a pre-written book, but an epic that is newly written each day from the fragments of probability created by the sum of personal will and relationships.

When you aim at life with a clear mind, the universe will finally manifest the best landscape you desire into reality.
