28. Questions for the Future

 

My theory explained in this book is, of course, a fresh piece of knowledge –and we could say that maybe a new science can be born from it. In the light of my findings, therefore, new studies by other persons (scientists or scholars) are absolutely necessary in the future, so that they can enable us to take more advantages of the discovery described. Among other things, these studies must answer the following questions deriving from what we’ve seen so far. 

• What is this that causes the alternations of seasons in our lives? And why there are two opposite courses of seasons? Do astronomical influences –such as unknown magnetic fields around the earth that come from the sun, other planets, or even other galaxies– cause the alternations of our seasons? Finding the answers to these questions may help us avoid or ameliorate in the future the bad seasons in our lives –perhaps the way migratory birds leave one hemisphere during the winter and fly to the other, so that they can continually experience summer. Future generations of scientists and scholars, therefore, may come up with the answer. Ancient peoples didn’t know what caused the alternations of the four seasons in the earth –fall, winter, spring, summer– though they didn’t deny these seasons’ existence. Only thousands of years later, we learned that the main cause of the four seasons in our earth is the shifting distance between the earth and the sun. 

• How does that unknown cause influence the alternations of the seasons? Is it influencing the function of our minds? As an example of this possibility, consider the case of Winston Churchill. As you’ve seen in his biography, when World War I began in 1914, Churchill –as first lord of the admiralty– thought the only salvation for England was to land at Antwerp, Belgium. But no one agreed with him. Then he went alone to Antwerp, assumed leadership of a small body of sailors, and ordered two divisions of inexperienced recruits to be transferred from England to Antwerp. What followed was a catastrophe. Had Churchill’s state of mind been influenced by what causes the alternations of seasons in our life? The answer can of course, help us to more benefit from our discovery. 

• The biographies in this book show that no one of the people profiled in it died during their good seasons –all died during their last bad seasons. (Churchill’s case is no exception: toward the end of his last bad season from 1941 to 1957, he became as if non-existing, and mentally dead –though he lived for some more years). Can we say, therefore, that we, too, will not die during one of our good seasons? And what will happen in the case of a casual event that causes unavoidable death –for example, an airplane accident in which no one of the passengers can survive? The question needs, of course, further research.

• Does the conclusion at which we have arrived –that we can foresee the good and bad seasons in our lives the way shown above– require some adjustments? When great Polish astronomer Nicholus Copernicus announced in 1543 that the earth is moving around the sun, he said that the earth’s movement was in circles with the sun as their center. However, in 1609, the German astronomer Johannes Keppler discovered that the earth moves around the sun not in circles but in elliptical orbits  that have two centers, one occupied by the sun. We cannot rule out, therefore, the possibility that the conclusion presented in this book may need some improvements. Despite my efforts, for example, I didn’t find any people without any alternations of life’s seasons –in whom their lives roll without any significant worries, or without any substantial satisfactions. However, there may be such people: in most parts of Ecuador in South America, for example, the weather is steadily springtime all over the year. The same phenomenon may in some cases happen with the seasons in our lives, therefore: some people –quite a few, however– may belong to a kind of an “equatorial” course. The subject needs further research by other people, however.


 There are of course, many other questions to be answered. For example, should we marry to a person belonging to the same with us course of seasons or to the opposite? Onassis and the woman he loved, Maria Callas, belonged to the same course of seasons, and their relation was extremely satisfactory, as we’ve seen. But Onassis and his second wife Jackie Kennedy belonged to opposite courses, and their marriage was a failure, as we’ve also seen. The question needs further research, however, and other people must find in the future an answer to it –as well as to all the other above questions, for a much better life for all.

For the moment, I hope my book has indeed given you the means to learn whether the years just ahead are good or bad for you, so that you can take advantage of this ability.
