Dear Prof. Mei,

Thank you very much for your letter re the above which I have enjoyed very much and found the page 15 particulary beautiful.

I would like if I may enclose few of my own observations and conclusion to which I came during my long medical practice and a brief exposure to Chinese medecine since 2008.

I feel that the equilibrium you are writing about can only work if its in dynamic form ,we must rejoyce in our differences which unite us and must not strive for equality which would be manifested in energetic nirvana and death. The difference is the engine of all movement in life but as you pointed out it must be borne on the wings of harmony and not inequality.

I agree with you that virtual Yin is divorced from reality and cannot work but virtual Yang is a useful tool as a preccusor and a tool for imagination which supports human “tinkering” which has been in  the forefront of human progress.

Benign competition is good because it leads into inventions but is bad when it turns into greed.

I was going to ask you re the title: Conceiving theYin and Yang, we do not conceive it it is there already we maybe percieve it ,become aware of it or reawaken it ??? or have I misunderstood the meaning of your thoughts?

With kind regards and best wishes

Dr C D Perko

My own reply to Christopher Bielenberger:

Dear Christopher,

Thank you for your comments. We can discuss some of the points over dinner. Do contact me.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Prof. Man Fong Mei:

I am delighted to enjoy your new discourse of your personal interpretation based on the Chinese medical theory. I think it is also development of Chinese medical Yin & Yang theory, to apply it to solve the question of socio-economic crisis. I am proud of your researsch, you are a great man.

Please convey my greetings to my old friends and your colleagues.

Welcome to GMU again.

Sincerely Yours,

Huang Guangwu

My own reply to Professor Huang Guangwu:

Dear Professor Huang Guangwu,

Thank you for your wonderful comments on my research.

It is wonderful to hear that you have now retired and returned to your clinical and research works on otorhinolaryngology at your university.

Regards to all professors and colleagues from me.

Professor Man Fong Mei

Hi Benny,

It is nice to receive your e-letter again. It always gives me pleasure to read your letter and learn something from you. Hope you are keeping well with the depression covering EU again. I shall take some time to read this edition as I am travelling again to London Canada then to HK in a acouple of weeks, not to mention the present commitments at hand.

Take care

All the best

Kelvin

My own reply to Professor Kelvin Chan

Dear Kelvin,

Nice to hear from you. As you can see from my E-newsletter, we’re keeping positive with the depressing situation looming over the UK and the Eurozone. As the poems in the Chinese version of my E-newsletter say, the return of Spring will certainly come after the hard Winter. It is with this spirit that I wish to convey to my readers the message that they should not despair.

Wishing you happy travelling to Canada

Yours sincerely,

Benny

VERY PROFOUND, I NEED A YEAR TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN.

BUT THE FORCES WHICH PROPEL US TOWARDS CONFLICT ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE NICETIES OF YIN AND YANG.

THE FORCES OF RISING ARE ALSO WITHOUT YIN AND YANG FEELINGS.

SO CAN WE PRODUCE SYNTHESIS BEFORE WE EXPERIENCE THE CLASH

My own reply to Stephen Perry:

Dear Stephen,

It is very encouraging to hear your comments on my paper. My hope is that those who have the power and influence over the dynamics that shape our world could be enlightened by understanding the philosophical concept of yin and yang. As described in Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine: “Those who conceive yin and yang will have the Tao-Dao to overcome difficulties and survive all odds and those who are ignorant of it all go against the forces of yin and yang and will perish”. May our current world leaders take note of the words of our ancient sages.

Yours,

Man Fong Mei

Dear Professor Mei,

Nice to hear from you. Simply brilliant.

I have rarely uploaded articles on to my website. Subjest to your permission I have done so tentatively. Please see http://www.andrewleunginternationalconsultants.com/new/2012/06/a-yin-and-yang-insight-into-the-worlds-imbalances-and-the-search-for-the-god-particle-.html

Best regards,

Andrew

My own reply to Andrew KP Leung:

Dear Andrew,

Your comments bring me courage and inspire me to go further in my research.

Although economics is not one of my specialised fields, however I have found parallels between many of the specialist branches of knowledge that one may overlook.

The web woven over the civilisations and man’s search for survival, well-being and the meaning of existence provided us with the strength to persevere.

Likewise, I have found many of your writings very insightful. Let us co-inspire in the future.

Thank you for putting my paper on your website. I will acknowledge this in my MFM Blog.

Dear Man Fong Mei,
