Shut Up! I Am Thinking


An anonymous drops me a note commenting the followings: -

“According to him (the marketer), his teacher is one of the best in BaZi, FengShui and QMDJ. I wonder why he still face a short term jail, didn’t the teacher able to see it and avoid it or something else? Strange! Need to ponder…”

It was a thought provoking comment. Perhaps an interstice between the marketer and his teacher. Such thought provoking has been translated into the recent entry of the marketer’s blog about BaZi and FengShui in a rather rhetorical fallacy which this write up is intended to debunk.

BaZi is the yard stick of a capacity of every person which includes a destiny road map. FengShui, on the other hand, is a mean to expedite opportunities and to avoid pitfalls. These fundamental understandings are not found in the marketer’s blog nor are in possession by his teacher. The above thought provoking comment rings a bell and a true testimony of such. There is nothing metaphysical about it – as it is just plain truth. It is also a display of whimsical superstitions that were propagated by such school as it once suggested that to avoid the ordeal of FanFu Yin, the marketer duly slept in the coffin and spilled cash out of it. Yet, his ordeals never cease but continue. These are facts of the sort of BaZi knowledge his teacher and him possessed. Do you still wish to sign up?

BaZi and KanYu had their cradles in the Chinese soil – this is a fact. Thanks to a charismatic lady, which we often called Big Sister, it has reached the Western audience. If one feels chic by calling these arts in another name such as Mc FengShui as to re-brand it with international labels, so be it. However, we just don’t know that such an art has to be marketed so lowly as to change name plainly to make money out of the international students. As the operative term used in the blog, “affordability”, clearly demonstrated the plain intentions of profiteering and not for the love of the arts.

It is also strange that the definition is sought after as to the meaning of Metaphysics when the physics aspect of such as to which part of Heavens do one measure is still in confusion. Crapping on the intricacies of BaZi, where the differences between structural and imagery readings are still unknown is, among others, the hallmark of such a school. Yet it introduces other needs for the “3rd Eye” just to see beyond the 8 characters, which is termed “Meta” as in metaphysics. The very “meta” is the commodity of the school which continues to milk the otherwise, international students. It is a shame that such a beautiful art has been transformed into Shamanism

Master worshipping is never the cup of tea for a true practitioner neither is the ethic of a genuine philosopher. When one understand the significant of the useful gods, understand which Heaven one measures and know how YinYang is balanced, the only master exist are the your ancestors who had once walked the earth of the middle kingdom. Do you still need to rebrand Chinese Metaphysics?
