Last week China clamped down on restrictions regarding web usage and their ‘Great Fire Wall’ was once again re-enforced to stop sensitive information being leaked out of the country. However, China also embarked upon a master stroke of genius by legally requiring users to register on the internet using only their own names. This appears to be an incredibly constructive common sense approach to regulating the internet that can contribute to making it, ‘safer and orderly,’ as they say.
In a strange way China is handing individuals back their power. It also empowers people to take responsibility. Indeed it requires courage to be ourselves and we are all learning to own our words, actions and experience. Perhaps this unique precedent of Real Identity Registration can be rolled out on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
So let’s take a look at the numbers…
2012 ( 2+0+1+2 = 5) – a 5 Year of communication – brought up intense issues like media regulation, and on Twitter users found themselves in deep water for loose talk. But Freedom of Speech is our Right. Year 5 also highlighted information and technology, knowledge, and sudden change. December was the 12th Month + 5 Year = 17/8. The Collective Month Number 17/8 highlights transparency, truth, honesty, integrity, personal responsibility. So China created the ‘name change’ at the very tail end of a 5 Year to help to push through changes. China itself adds up to a 26 or 8, which is an auspicious number in the East. 8 highlights: success, organisation, power, influence, personal responsibility, and revaluation. So the timing was aligned to the purpose.
This Year 2013 (2+0+1+3=6) is a 6 Year. It’s about alchemy and transformation, and about looking at life from the opposite point of view so that we can see whole picture. It’s also about using our innate inner wisdom.
So True Identity Registration can help right speech and true ownership = Progress.
