The Question Of Water


Water is a tricky business; see http://www.yifengshui.blogspot.com/2009/09/fire-and-water-never-shoot-each-other.html. What is most understood about water has been grossly ill understood. When it is said all waters return to its source, what does it means? Where is the source of water?

What is the nature of water? When we feel the pulse of the dragon, where is the pulse? Is it the stream? Is it the space that has been carved out of the earth in lieu of the water? Is it the open space where all waters coagulates? Is it the mirror image of the solidified earth against the void of space? When the classics say, mountain governs health; water governs wealth, what does it means?

So, if the understanding of the water is vague, would the understanding of placement of water be vague? When the understanding of water placement is vague, would the application of Direct (D) and Indirect (I) spirit (D/I Spirit) be vague?

Wind moves, Qi moves. Qi stop, water coagulates. This is the first pointer.
Earth is the mother of Qi. Qi is the mother of water. This is the second pointer.
So, does one still not understand water?

SanHe (SH), pride itself with the incoming and outgoing of waters. SanYuan (SY), pride itself with the location of waters. Are these two systems talk about the same water?

D/I Spirit is the entire backbone of SY. It stipulates that D spirit must see mountain and I spirit must see water. The logic is when the sector is prosperous and timely, it is too Yang in nature. Therefore, it cannot see water, being another Yang element. This is based on the assumption that water is Yang because of its fluidity and mountain is Yin because of its solidity.

One example is when period 8 arrived, Gen sector becomes prosperous. Therefore Northeast is D spirit and Southwest is Indirect spirit. Is that the case, in reality? Do one sees prosperity in all Southwest locations? The inconsistency arise when one lack the understanding of, where is the reference point, second, what is water and what is mountain and third, the working mechanism of Change (Yi) with relation with the trigram. The fundamental is change and a static Qi map is inapplicable in application but applicable as principle, why?

Understand this, why populations begin along the river basin with fertile valley? When the valley is over populated, what happened? Why population moves up the mountain, in search of what? When the over populated has reached a critical mass, what happened? From the source of the river to the mouth of the river, where would it be populated first? Knowing this, one will understand as to why the dragon spirit does not go up the mountain and come down the water. Has this got to do with sitting and facing of the property?

Really, before we lost ourselves with the high tech of the theoretical physics, let us cover the fundamentals. You let me know…

PostScript: 些子 XieZi, Has the Zi in XieZi refers to the first born or Zi, being the first branch of the 12 earthly branch which again, contains water?
