Yet another course on Xuan Kong Yang dwelling has been completed. Is there anything exceptionally exciting from the course that the book by any oriental bookshop could not offer, I guess there must be, otherwise it just does not worth the course fee of USD2,000.00. The major item are the definition of 2 sitting star in the flying star chart. Yes, 2 sitting star instead of the normal 1 sitting and 1 facing. Where does this other sitting star comes about, yet the other "facing" star is terminologically called the other sitting star! You read it correctly, indeed. So where is the facing, as the explanation goes that the facing is derived from the facing GUA (hexagram) from the alignment of the Main Door. The conjunction of the both sitting stars, so to speak, that made up the Sitting GUA (hexagram) is made to fly the Loshu path in the 9 palace grid. The others remained status-quo as per the Shen's Classic (Master Shen Xuan Kong School Textbook). These collectively made up the introduction to Xuan Kong Da Gua, secret formula.
Next, the 81 combinations explained in great detail let alone, have to be remembered. Do you need to put these up into memory, let say #1-6 combo, #2-8 combo and so on. A reputable metaphysics researcher has on his web page put it explicitly the meanings of these combinations for free. Just download and memorized. The classic says: "... dragon separated by TWO, GUA derived by THREE portions...", these 3 portions mean the number represents number, GUA images and QI. They meant different things all together. If these were to be compounded into the existing 81 combo, we had 243 combinations to remember. Add the 9 palaces interaction, we had another 2187 combinations. Well that is a lot to remember indeed! The essence is within the 8 GUA images, 10 stems and 12 branches. No secret formula, but the price to pay is USD 4,000.00
It is also timely that an article called, Balancing Theory and Application, has been placed on the Web. Again, my noble question is what is the price to be paid for, in salvaging the interpretation of the classics that has been designed to mislead the uninitiated, or the famous Master Jiang Da Hong's phrase, the will of Heaven must not be disclosed. Pricey indeed, yet we are all chasing for this, so called, secret formula.
