Did the Yi indicate this?

On Thursday July 21 2005 suspected terrorists again tried to bomb three underground trains and a bus in London. Fortunately this time, the bombs failed to explode therefore no one was hurt. This failed bombing followed on the heels of the 7th July bombing of three underground trains and a bus in London which killed fifty six people and injured some 70o. July 7th happens to fall on a Thursday too.

By coincidence, the March 11 2004 bombing of four crowded rush hour commuter trains in Madrid, Spain also occurred on a Thursday.

Although the September 11 2001 ‘bombing’ of the twin towers and Pentagon was on a Tuesday and not on a Thursday, there seems to be another coincidence which could be of significance; that of four targets (and four groups), which the four hijacked planes were intended to crash into. The fourth and last plane however crashed on vacant land.

Let us summarize and analyze the incidents:
1) Four targets crashed into (with planes hijacked by four groups) in USA.
2) Four targets in Madrid bombed (by four groups) on a Thursday.
3) Four targets in London bombed (by four individuals) on a Thursday.
4) Four targets in London ‘bombed’ (by four individuals?) on a Thursday.

These terrorists’ modus operandi seemed to be the ‘bombing’ of four targets, each time using four groups of people or four individuals. One is sure the US and European authorities would have analyzed that and the coincidental Thursdays by now. However, within the context of this blog, the question is did the Yi indicate the number, four, in the omens given to me earlier?

Kun was the hexagram given by the Yi in both the omens on the September 11 2001 incident, and on the Another 9/11 incidents. If we refer to the Later Heaven sequence (or King Wen's arrangement) depicted in the Shou Gua on the discussion of the Trigrams (pg 269 W/B), we will find that the Kun trigram is fourth in the sequence as Chen, the Arousing is the starting point (pg 268). (The trigram, Kun also means people or groups of people as indicated in my interpretations.)

In line with the above analysis and with the benefit of hindsight, can one then say with confidence that the Yi had indeed also indicated the number, four, in both omens? Probably so, but one did miss this angle in the previous interpretations, therefore the Later Heaven sequence will be something to look at in future, as one continues to learn.
