Short Tale Of HeTu

The North Dipper star constellation has been the guiding axis to the Chinese civilization since time immemorial. Constituting the visible 7 stars with the other 2 invisible ones, the Dipper has been the universal clock for seasonal change, measurement of the lateral, sacred deity of the North, pantheon of deities for the Nine Emperor Gods, HeTu and so forth. 

 

 

HeTu resembles the universal mother of the asterism (DouMu). The personification of DouMu can easily be found in the temple of the Nine Emperor Gods, a lady figurine with 9 pairs of hand with both hands significantly holding the Sun and the Moon. There is a reason of such personification to represents a concept that is way too abstract to the common Chinese at that time. It takes the form of Kun or mother that it gives birth to the asterism. In a nutshell it represents what came after the Big-bang. 

 

 

HeTu is referred to sometimes, as the River Map. Legend foretold the arising of the Dragon Horse in the YangTze River with polka-dots emblem on its scaled belly. These dots are later known as Tu or map, as observed by FuZi, the pre-historical ancestor of the Chinese. That is where it got its name as HeTu. This mystical beast as half dragon half horse is a metaphoric description of the birth of time, where fire (related to the dragon horse) and water (related to the YangTze River) does not shoot each other. In other words, He or river is referring to the galaxy commonly known to the Chinese as YinHe or Silver Stream, another name for the Milky Way. It is told in such, so that the early Chinese are able to remember it in the absent of writing. HeTu is the map of the Milky Ways.

What Bloody Turtle Got To Do With Tall Tale?

A question on Tall Tale, must the tallest building be supported by the Black Warrior for good FengShui? Even the Ming Emperor built an artificial mount to back up his Forbidden City. The truth is that the Forbidden City's FengShui is as bad as before. Even Emperor QianLong and Chairman Mao refused to stay in it.

The Four guardians are the fundamental features of the SPOT. However, must it be obviously protruding above ground? Common sense tells you that no matter how high are the XuanWu star or the Black Warrior, if it ever existed in the first place, it will NEVER be higher than the proposed tallest building intended. Otherwise, why it is not called a LienZhen in the first place. By deduction, does it also means to say all tallest building in the world is BAD FengShui? Why on earth, the ancient Chinese build pagodas and the Egyptians built Pyramids? To kill themselves the Bushido's ways?

Interpretation of the classics and actual applications is a fine line between pure superstitions and logical deductions. This is where we put to test the classics to distill the truth.  No point force fitting observations into the existing classics and called it proof. Obviously, there are many more obscure truths out there and among others; must the white tiger always lower than the green dragon location? Better still, where is my white tiger? Right, Left, Above or Below the butt?

Yes, talking about searching the dragon spots, sitting on it and have a good laugh! A picture of the Black Warrior carrying a tower is obviously, the BEST FengShui! Trust ME, I know...

Another Tall Tale?

The Malaysian BOLEH legacy is not new. Almost all the national leaders want to be immortalized in some form or another, taking cues from the International counterparts for example, the ex-President of France Francois Mitterrand with his Pyramide du Louvre. The era of Dr. M is immortalized by the megalomaniacs of PutraJaya, Petronas Tower, KLCC and KLIA (The MSC Corridors).  The era of PakLah was somewhat too short to be remembered. Currently, we are in the era of Najeeb and parallel with the concept of 1 Malaysia, it is important to be immortalized in some forms that will propel the socio-economy to the next level. Perhaps with such goodies dishing out, plenty of vacant offices around, underutilized first classed amenities, under maintained infrastructures, depleting reserves and high operating costs, do the Malaysian need another tallest building to feed our appetites?

FengShui wise, not much has been spoken about. Perhaps we should investigate what is this mega structure represents. We wrote about tall tale before, detail read HERE. Some results in absolutely bad FengShui, while the others are good. Why is it so? Extremely high buildings are the manifestation of LienZhen or the emperor star, especially when it is the tallest in the vicinity. It has the ability to draw in Qi around the surrounding and coagulates such Qi for the benefits of the rest of the building nearby. That also, in the very first instance there must be good Qi source to start with. Otherwise it is just a magnet for lousy Qi. The very profound question is, what quality of Qi would that be, given the area around the existing Merdeka Stadium?  What would be the consequences of the existing KLCC area when the LienZhen has been moved?

These are just the tip of the iceberg considerations. Besides, the more important thing is that this very structure will benefits Singapore's FengShui, as long as the Johore Causeway is intact!

Emmm? They must have engaged a Singapore master! OMG!

Plug In Plug Out , Fall In Fall Out

Last weekend was a very good day. While we are busy assisting an initiation of a Daoist establishment, we are glad that our establishment is growing slowly but steadily. We noticed something really strange happening with the local metaphysics trends. We noticed that practitioners bickering one another over trivial issues.  While other disputes are a little mind boggling, just liked one saying which hammer a point, when the "barang" (your stuff) don't work, the "parang" (chopper) will come. It just to say a whole loads of insanity. Where is our humanity in the face of this trade?

Has it got to do with our hot weather conditions? The ninth lunar month could have been rainy and the start of the monsoon for both Malaysia and Singapore. What we had witnessed is nothing similar to the nature of autumn and chrysanthemum blooming but with haze blanketing the horizon. An indication of a chaotic future with one thing very significant that is metaphysics practices begin to fall out one after another and some may have to pack and go. We may pride ourselves with the ability to design our destiny but why would we design our practices in such a manner that it will ends pre-maturely? The awful things are it usually ends with a sour note, no matter how it is camouflaged. Call it fate over sheer incompetence? 

A stale chapter has been closed and a new beginning is here. We would like to take this opportunity to inform that our preparatory BaZi workshop early birds enrolment and intake has been long expired and are officially closed. Thanks for all the enquiries and confidents vested on us. We will be closing our enrolment and intake by this week. If affinity comes, we may be conducting a repeat workshop next year.

As a gesture of a new beginning, we will be dishing out more information on metaphysics in the coming installation. Some are tales, some are facts. Nevertheless, same provocateurs and remember to stay tune and plug in for more.

Thanks

Goofy Mickey And A Feng Shui Master Who Lost His Left Hand

  

SPEECHLESS!

We witnessed how FengShui Method has been bastardized to the next level and now we witness the bastardizing of FengShui Masters. Sure we may have forgotten soon to be master, the emerging ones marrying FengShui with the culinary skills instead of a friendly gesture has ended up with accusing one another of copying stock load and barrel a clip from Facebook to an article in a local Chinese Daily. Well it all begins with a fun fills show in the Malaysia television program where apparently two gentlemen of FengShui masters have been invited to test out their culinary skills. One apparently taller, Master Goofy is set to challenge the other shorter one, Master Mickey for a gastronomical extravaganza that promises nothing but fun and thrill. In another word, the program is intended to bring a lighter side by "clowning" Master Goofy and Master Mickey. On a personal note, damn, FengShui masters these days had gone so low in their self esteems to be toyed around liked that - Unbelievable.

Apparently, Master Goofy appears to be the winner. You don't need to be a Face Reading master to see how Master Mickey felt and look once the results were announced. Impeccable black Qi consumed his face. Next out of jealousy, Master Mickey holds no bar in exposing Master Goofy of copying stock load and barrel an article from his Facebook to Master Goofy's article appearing in a Chinese daily. What a coincident? XuanKong at play?

Apparently none of them would have been able to predict the outcome. What has to become of an expert in Chinese Metaphysics not able to predict his own outcome?  Indeed strange? On another devastating incident happened in Penang is that a FengShui master has been seriously injured and all he could justify on his foregoing condition is, " I am a FengShui expert. I don't predict the future as I am not a fortune teller," he said. 

Well said, gentlemen...  I am SPEECHLESS!

XieZi Of Soon To Be Dragon Spot 2

Prompted by a fellow practitioner in Singapore about 抽爻换象, altering the Yao to transform the imagery. Novel idea to add more layer in the XKDG methodology. To achieve   一卦纯清 or Single Pure Gua Formation, there is a tendency that the selected Hexagram, of 5.625 degree, may have changed to another Hexagram based on a more refined subdivision of Yao, within the region of 0.937 degree (speaking about German accuracy here in the context of ancient Chinese art). That is an absolute accuracy given the fact that the rustic handmade LuoPan is quite a primitive tool. No doubt, it is subject of major criticism yet for completeness let's investigates further.

 

Physical measurement revealed that it is close to the 3rd Yao. Change from the sitting Hex of Eliminating to Marsh. Can this  一卦纯清 or Single Pure Gua Formation? 

The original Hex Eliminating denotes cutting off. Five Yang Yao cutting off a single Yin Yao, leaving no room for retreat. The general connotation of this Gua is inauspicious reflecting careless move and ill judgment. Such is the nature of soon to be master FengShui practice located in this alignment which are bound to disputes and disharmony. Whereas, the transformed Hex Marsh is an auspicious one. Such will only be beneficial if one is sincere without ulterior motives. However, would it transform in the first place?

No combination taken place within the transformed Hex itself. Speaking of 一卦纯清 or Single Pure Gua Formation, not so easy as it is...

The ABC Of Site Selections

Scenario 1:

Site A and Site B, each separated by a road, opposite one another or facing one another. Which site will prosper first and why?

Scenario 2:

Site A is on high ground. Site B is on low ground. Both sites are separated by a road, opposite one another or facing one another. Which site will prosper first and why?

If you know the answers to both scenarios, you will understand why the subject on soon to be dragon spot need to close shop?

We chant so much on our expertise in this and that while we bastardize so called secret method, yet we failed to see the most fundamental of things...
