Summary

We delve into The Tao Te Ching(In English, 2023 Revision). Prologue.Lao Tzu, believed to have lived during the Jin Dynasty, which was ruled by the descendants of Shun, the originator of ritual practices, was born in Gokin-ri of the Zhou Dynasty. In 534 B.C., the Jin Dynasty was overthrown by the Zhou Dynasty. Laozi is said to have been a contemporary of Confucius, living during the 6th or 5th century BCE. In 501 B.C., when Confucius was 51 years old, during the Spring and Autumn Period, he embarked on a journey to seek out Laozi, described as an elderly man with a full head of hair, to learn about the proper etiquette of the Jin Dynasty. According to \'Zhuangzi\', they met near the middle-upper stream of Huisu, not far from the Sang of the former Jin dynasty. It was during this encounter that Confucius first encountered Laozi\'s philosophy of natural spontaneity and self-liberation. After realizing its stark contrast with his own teachings centered around humanity and the goal of cultivating a harmonious society, Confucius turned away. Lao Tzu, feeling disillusioned with the state of the world in an era of chaos, retreated from society, recognizing the impermanence of human affairs. At Hamgokgwan, he left behind a collection of 5,000 characters known as \'The Tao Te Ching\' for Yoon-hee, representing the foundation of all philosophy and thought.

    Throughout the history of warfare, the practice of placing blame on innocent parties in order to justify attacking them has been a constant feature. In the 20th century, this practice began to be commonly referred to as a “false flag” operation. The essence of a false flag scenario is that it is conducted by one party or government and “made to appear as though another party sponsored it.”[1] In informal legal terminology, the practice is commonly referred to as a “stitch up”[2] or “setup.”[3] The modern use of this action based on deceit originated in the 16th century, typically when ships displayed the flags of a neutral or enemy country to hide their identities. 
	The severity of false flag operations moves in tandem with the perceived danger. In the late 20th century, the Soviet Union constituted an ongoing threat to the United States, ideologically and militarily. When Fidel Castro, a Soviet sympathizer, came to power in Cuba in 1959, the presence of a communist extension of Soviet influence so near American shores caused great discomfort to the U.S. government. 
	Some of the Cold War’s tensest moments involved Cuba, including the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis, amply demonstrating that throughout the early 1960s, alarmed individuals within the American government believed that the only way to handle Castro was by immediate elimination and a takeover of Cuba. They were pitted against more nuanced points of view held by others within the Kennedy administration. The Pentagon was of the general mind that in such a perilous environment, military decision-making should come to the front and civilians should withdraw, even the White House. Diplomacy was seen as being of little use by the Joint Chiefs of Staff against an encroaching Soviet superpower led by a political street fighter and his puppet situated just off the coast of Florida. 	This charged atmosphere would lead to one of the most controversial proposals in history.

    Spend a year in the company of the ancient Egyptians, during the twenty-sixth and final year of the reign of Amenhotep II (c.1400 BC), which saw a royal transition bringing Thutmose IV to the throne of Upper and Lower Egypt. 
 
While builders from the secluded village of royal tomb workers rush to complete Amenhotep's tomb, and craftsmen labour to finish the numerous extravagant objects to accompany the god-king in his burial, most Egyptians go about their daily lives in ways unchanged for eons. 
 
Following the Egyptian calendar year, which was divided into three seasons (inundation, sowing and harvest), we will meet a farmer and his family, an embalmer, an artisan, a royal physician, a priest and even a royal wife as they live their lives in Thebes and Memphis during the eighteenth dynasty of the New Kingdom in this remarkable year in ancient Egyptian history.
