Fire And Water Never Shoot Each Other


“Water can float a boat, water can [also] belly a boat.”, Chinese saying.

It is difficult to translate these eight words without compromising its flavor. So, no amount of translation justifies its very own essence. It does not just say the potential of water is to float, or rather, to carry afloat a boat, and by the same virtue seemingly something that has been potentially beneficial does carry its own risk. This is the nature of “Liang Yi”.

True enough, water method or ShuiFa does deliver positive results; however, we also have to know the risks involved not only to the beneficiary but to the practitioner as well. That makes all the sense to first, acquire the knowledge. Second, take an intent role and “dirt” oneself under the sun. Third, make collective recommendations. Fourth, review and heed criticisms be it good or bad with an open heart. Fifth, remember heaven does not discriminate, only human do, likewise, charity begins at home. For each of these steps, it speaks the loudest of them all, that is a BEST practice in action and not in slogan.

That is the reason sometimes we built up walls, not to keep people out but to see who cares enough to knock them down. It is never about bringing others down so that one will look good in search of praise and fame. And by the way, how good can that be? For a moment, a day, a year or forever and ever? We knew, what goes up, will come down. It is one, a sense that, one things lead to the others, that the French called it provocateur. If it is not this, that would not have happened.

True enough, the YiJing has 64 outcomes but it takes another 382 different experiences by different individual to walk the same path of Dao. No doubt, each time, when we meet at the cross roads, we need to decide which path to take, it will just sometimes, be a little nice, to know that there is well lit sign to show the correct path. It is always this sign that has been missing or simply abused to mislead others that we often caught in our very own illusive merry go round.

Now, that the writings of these paragraphs had in many ways, taken into constructive lights, ie, results orientated and money back guarantee, revealing the fundamentals which had been fundamentally wrongly perceived and career path diligently engineered, it is this beacon of opportunity that all aspirant of Chinese Metaphysic should enroll. 2 years of such tutelage, is never a waste, if indeed the principles are held with utmost esteemed as it is warranted.

I believed, for whatever mistakes one makes as a mortal, uncanny criticism that has been done and the constant worried that I had of history repeating itself, sincerity is always the best cure.

I see now, where the roads are heading to…

Best Wishes,
