Happy Birthday My Friend

Extremely sumptuous dinner I had with the company of close friends, celebrating the birthday of a serious practitioner of Chinese Metaphysics. The food is fantastic yet the main course is again, our discourse of metaphysics. It is wonderful to catch up on such happy occasions that a drive down to Seremban, missing along the way, was indeed worth it. More so, when we catch up with old times story and old company.

Among others, the story is told as she came, laughing and specifically inform the birthday boy, that those who came at such a short notice and long journeys are indeed true friends, whereas the one whom you had showered many hours of your time to enlighten the one of the way, is indeed no where to be seen and you have the answer. See that the basket of flowers were indeed thorny in nature, beautiful in forms and you had indeed learned the meanings of true friendship beyond the veil of compassion and sympathy. This is the Yuan you are bestowed upon.

Again, my best wishes to you for health, wealth and friendships, on this blessed day of YiMao of the month of GuiHai in the year of WuZi. Happy Birthday !

Hi Anonymous,

I had departed from MA, many years ago. Neither had I disagree with MA's module nor JY personally, I only disagreed with the system and teaching principles which I reckoned as "milking". I still belived, in XK, JY is still the master of choice. However, XK as I understood is no longer a valid system, I behold. Again, by choice.

VL, had been a teacher of his own right. We share many ideas in common. Everyone, has the right to reject and be rejected, as I believed. This has also been reflected in both VL's blog and mine. So nothing to shout about.

There are a lot unscrupulous masters around hiding in veils. Similarly so, there are many unscrupulous students of metaphysics liked to dwell in petty matters liked those you had mentioned. I believed if matters of these sorts do not benefits you in wisdom, advisable not to dwell in it. It just make a fool out of the fools.

Again, this is an art of the 5 elements where water and fire are the prominent. It has a reason to be handed down, similarly it had a reason to be taught to the right people with the right frames of mind. Not petty people. Unscrupulous masters and students can changed the facts, yet the true masters of the old will be there to point the ways. The fact that you had responded to my mail, indicated that by nature you wish to be brought back to the path. I hope that by now, you understand why I had, again, ask you who you are? I just hope that you had found your way.

The forums, are just there for, to fish and be fished. Nothing spectacular. Perhaps you could asked JY about the 8 doors, if you keen to know? Maybe MC and G (your country mate) can enlighten you about it?

Take care.

hi, david,

I know G in indonesia, he teach fengshui through internet, but take a long time 5 years - price wise is very cheap only US10/mth..more for donation or internet only. he is a businessman . he said he just want to share the knowledge to indonesia people the real understanding of fengshui. but private talked with him very expensive because he only accept 2-3 guest a week due to his busy time as a businessman. sometimes even not. I have contact with him. more only his associated and friends. I know he learn from JY and some others school.

being fish or to be fished in 5 arts, my suggestion better play calm, no need make every body make wrong perception about you. but it's up to you. or you copy KL style. but I believe giving is better than received as G said.

I also don't like JY style about teaching, look so arrogant and keep secret all the time.

regards

Hi Anonymous,

This is more like it. I understand that G has been an ardent student of YGGF. If he has taken oath of discipleship, I am not sure he is willing to reveal what he knew about YGGF. Similarly so, I got to understand he is teaming with someone in Malaysia to start out an academy. The forums are the good stepping stone for them to dish out their generosities. So, I would not be surprised as the Chinese saying goes, let the line flows further so that the big fish would snap the bait. For the benefits of the doubt, I hope I had misinterpreted their generosities in the forums.

I believed you should understand more of the concerns I have in my blog entitled: -
Secret Formula: Going Once, Going Twice, SOLD!

Cheers and take care.

BTW, would you mind, telling me more about yourself?

Hi David,

No idea about it, I know G is YGGF disciples, so he must be team up as MC as you said MC also YGGF lineage. I just take module 1-2 with YCH long long time ago, before JY broke with him. and learn ziwei + bazi a little when VK come to Indonesia 3-4 years ago. and the rest just surfing in internet,

G also quite active in Indonesia milist but sometimes gone no news , maybe to his busy time as a businessman, some master in indonesia do not like his teaching through internet so cheap, like no cost. but his article when talking in milist quite interesting and reveal more technique. always the deep understand of theory is the best practice , he always says. and now getting more popular in magazine, radio and TV - i saw once his face in local tv in jakarta.

How many lineage in the world??? why somebody doesn't want to depart his knowledge before go to 6 feet under as you said, DO you know T in Indonesia, he learn from YCH and JY before, about a year ago both have hard argument in milist - T very disagree about G teaching because T offered high price in teaching. and T doesn't believe that G revealed all the secret.

as a matter of fact, what is the essence of fengshui, does it really means the secret formula can accumulate more wealth or choosing the location is the most secret of fengshui ???

after depart from MA from which master you learn.

regards

Hi Anonymous,

As I had mentioned, I had departed from FengShui. I only speaks about KanYu. They mean totally different things.

Know this: -

When you need to drink, drink only from the source.
Keep the source clean for the generations to come.
Do not chase for the Dao, throw out the un-Dao and the Dao will reveal.
He who sees the Dao, see the master.
The essence of KanYu is to use the 5, arranging the 6, wait for the 7, open the 8 and ride the 9.
The objective is to arrive at the 3.
Otherwise, you arrive at the 0.
Not knowing this, is not knowing KanYu.

Just look, how others behaved in the forum, without knowing which is the brick and the jade?
They do not see that question is indeed the answer. This is reality.

Hope that the path of Dao is pleasing to you.

Hi David,

I am glad that in these troubled times you had a good party with your
friends!

I also had a glance on your architectonics: great!
It seems to me your alien is quite attuned to the country !
Most elaborated and at the same times respectful of past and
craftsmanship while showing a proper direction ...
Artist's role in society is to be slightly ahead of what's coming to
express future of a culture.... You are in!
Not always comfortable when facing habits and basic money ....!

( I am probably influenced by my past exp: designing and building wood-
epoxy fast boats!)
I just finished some nice little things in a flat: had to fit with a
Chen Zhen ! Nice conversation!



i have been studying the SS's book on luo pan : very good for a
westerner ;
I wondered for a while to get CJJ's book but now , I am
quite happy with this one.
the part on the difference between earth plate and heaven plate is
critical for understanding.
might explain why it is quite tricky to deal with water dragons ...
as well as for date selection which , at my level does find very
efficient: but if lunar mansions are off their rocks...?
The more i learn the more i feel MA's lacks in basics and show off!
Hope one day JY will understand and apply his talent in a true way...

what would you think of CKW Imperial XK style?

i am still looking for a right path to continue my studies: always feel
like i know nothing and have to start all over from the beginnings!
on the spot!enough with sideshows. Yet i accept i will have to pass
through the commercial factor!
Went back on the MA forum to have a look: desert! apart HHC answering
kindly the same questions!

Other forum such as 5A is a bit trickier !

fare thee well!

S, France

Hi S,

I really have no comment on CKW's approach be it imperial or otherwise, back yard FS.

The party is good for the soul.

What do you know about the 3 needles of the SanHe Luopan as prescribed by SS?

Confusion is the root of enlightenment. So keep it up.

Yes, MA forum is indeed dry and soulless with the exception of HHC.

5A, seems to have some charisma. Just know which is the brick, and which is the jade.

Don't worry, you do fine.

Warmest Regards

Hello David

Throwing off balance means resuming moving on: that's life.
Dead bodies are perfectly balanced, like dead minds.

Cheers

DAVID YEK TAK WAI (email:yektakwai@hotmail.com) said...

Hi S,

Speaking of dead minds, sometimes forums are liked museums, the moderators are just liked the artefacts. They are just dead piece of whatsoever, in this case, fossilized Fengshui forum moderators. They cannot take questions and provocations.

Cheers
