More Con-sult-ant In The Making ?


It must be YuanKong in play:-

This morning, someone mentioned about malpractice in the FS industry and I happened to know who this person is. I am more interested in the modus operandi of first to scare his potential client, then to solicit for further services. Follow by a hefty BaZi consultation that cost more than SGD800.00 per chart per reading and to potentially find out the client is in deep shit that needs FS to cure. As though his soul has left the body and came back with astonishing findings about the FS of the potential client. It does not actually end there, if the advice that something is really wrong with the Yin FS of the potential client has not been duly given. To top it off, a hefty deposit will be needed to investigate further according to the menu, ie External SGD3000.00, Internal SGD 6000.00 and so on. This is really a first class FS Con-Sult-ant (First to con, then to insult).

This afternoon, I went to the nearest sandwich outlet to have a quick bite. Sitting on my right were 2 gentlemen engrossed with discussion. I could not help myself to hear their conversations. It was a BaZi reading cum FS advice in public. That is interesting! In the afternoon, in public, by two gentlemen in office attire? This is an indication that metaphysics is getting very popular among the educated. It also means there will be more victim, potentially fall prey to the con-sult-ant, who will increase by the days. Call this supply and demand at play?

However, I was relieved that this time around, none of the scare tactic was use by the gentleman. It was just an extremely general readings of a person wellbeing based on his chart. The way he narrows down the critical years, were quite casual without too much detail. So, I can easily sum up, that the gentleman can be easily any of the graduates of the best academy of Chinese metaphysics in town. Plus, the way he explained the move in date is extremely comical, i.e. within the 2 hours selected you must move in the luggage but must not open it and so on so forth. I have no idea how much he charges for that consultation, but I knew it will not be that bad.

Later of the evening, I receive a call. I was call to go down South to rescue another screwed up job. We do not want to know who this person was but by the way the modus operandi is given, there could only be one answer. The best of all is, this master will tell this to his client that never to mention his name unless it is for a job reference. For this the client has done a wonderful job.

In this field, buyers beware is always the best policy. We do not need to shout and to scare others to promote the arts and the services. It is one field that is easily be blinded by greed, ego and hatred. Only heavens know and heaven has eye to see the wrong doers, who take this arts as a commodity. Perhaps the following story has brighter sides to this: -

A Blind man sat on the steps with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind man. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”

The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”
What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.”

Moral of the story; do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the man was blind. But the first sign simply said the man was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

By the same token, we are all blinded by our own defilements. Some are heavier than the others. Only Heaven and some invincible hands will change the “sign” when we are sincere in our own doings immeasurable by our intelligent, passions and trustworthiness.

Coincidentally, I received the following emails from Tzu-Chi, which states: -

不要小看自己
因為人有無限的可能
- 證嚴法師靜思語

Do not underestimate your ability
everyone has unlimited potential
- Master Chen Yen

Try, give it a second thought!
