Thanks for the feedback.
To me, Otto's list makes good sense: The thought of 49 as being a waypoint
which points in the direction of Book of the Dead, seems to hold water. The
other options: The year of the gold rush and the year that LSD entered USA
seems somewhat pointless.
Or what?
In addition to that, the I Ching seems to verify the first thought, as it
also deals with a passage of renewal.
With kind regards
Soren.
