5 Yellow Killing Forces

We had encountered CASES with the 5 Yellow violations. Yet, we had never really encountered and document the process of violating 5 Yellow. Here is something interesting. 

Occasionally, we served pro-Bono FengShui to some lower income family. A month after the rectifications, the FengShui of this family improves tremendously and the bread winner had bonuses to renovate their house, their children do well in school and health is not an issue to them. 

With readily money available and for whatever reasons, this family had selected XinMao year to enlarge their kitchen, where the annual 5 Yellow sits. This is a typical East Sitting House with main door facing west and a ground breaking in the East sector would automatically violate 5 Yellow.

Needless to say, it was done without our consultation and we learnt that the date was selected by the assistance of a medium. Thus, 2 points of interest as one, there will be foreseeable mishaps readily to happen for the remaining months before crossing over to RenChen year or two, there is absolutely nothing happen. 

If violation of 5 Yellow brings mishap, that is understandable. Here, benefiting from a pro-Bono FengShui effects may not necessary bring the desire end results, especially true when one opted to listen to others’ advises.

If nothing happen, then we need to relook into 5 Yellow again. Is our theory wrong or the understanding of 5 Yellow violation is grossly misunderstood. Perhaps, spiritual interventions may subdue the effect of 5 Yellow through Karmic interference. 

Whichever it is only time would tell …

FlyingStar Basic - 57

9,5 at Dui palace or 5,7 at Li palace will make it more permanent rite?

In short, he is talking about #5-9 and #5-7 combinations either in the 7 palace or the 9 palace in the following conjunctions of #9-5-7. It arises from the article XuanKong Classics. I am not sure what permanent which he refers to but I guess which combination would bring permanent illness.

While lets investigate what others had to say, I quote Hung's commentary:

"#7 represents young girl, prostitute. #9 represents beauty, both female stars.Total immersion in Sex and decadence. #5 represent poison. Imagery... is not hard to fathom. Do note...negative prediction requires negative land form trigger... - page 18 Ode to Flying Star"

Technically speaking, #5-9 is better then #5-7 in the context of Dui palace compared to Li palace. On such, #5-7 would have a longer effects. However, this is only one way of looking at the star conjunctions.

Coincidentally, I came across one restaurant in particular. The business was so-so and it was established by a company which sell jewelry mixed with the new-age metaphysics visionary numbers. So naturally, numbers speak for itself, it has a huge 57 hung on the facade. So, does it means to say, who ever visit the restaurant either wearing Red or in the month where the monthly 9 arrive, will definitely contracted STD???

Think again...

SanYuan Food Chain

Oh my God! 

Flying Star is at the bottom of the “food chain”!  Joke aside; let us contemplate a little…

During the Big Sister era, 8 Mansions was the known basic of the basic FengShui taught in kindergarten. In those days, it was the easiest  method. So simple that practitioners graduated to advice couples of different Gua to sleep separately. 8 Mansions were actually at the bottom of the “food chain”.

Not satisfied, they opted to primary level – Flying Star. Those days, Hoo-Ha of period 8 was as staggering as the Y2K. Some Chinese literati grandmasters started off very much earlier in the 70’s HongKong where huge classes were organized.

Period 8 passed by and NOTHING happened. So, FlyingStar must have been a flaw! They enrolled into LiuFa. Tan’s School is not the one and only. Read our FengShui history. LiuFa is still out of bound reserved to the elitist Daoist cult.

Then, some opted to do “A” level instead. Entry into University of FengShui takes up 2 routes, Pre-U Matriculation  - XKDG and “A” level - SanYuan LongMen BaJu LMBDJ. Surprising, it had never crossed their mind is that - XKDG is actually kindergarten stuff - the so called 8 Mansions!

What???

SanYuan is NOT XuanKong. XuanKong is only a very small subset, thus it is the most confused system among the arts of SanYuan. Cloaked in secrecy, a complete system must contain prediction, application and activation. Strangely, XuanKong that we knew of today, is almost a standalone system with different and conflicting fundamentals.

SanYuan is the continuation of SanHe. The most valuable part of SanYuan is in its application of water method.

On and off there will be mysterious standalone method in the market. While XieZi is almost forgotten, another emerged in the light of the revival of LianShan GuiChang Gua 连山归藏卦. Can we call it by another name such as SanYuan DaGua?

 

FengShui Basic - YinYang of The SanYuan 24 Mountains

… After all the heavy weights, let us come back to FengShui 101.

There are a few good books in English explaining about LuoPan, including the Compendium. However, it never dwell deep into the origin of YinYang of the 24 mountain plate of the so called, SanYuan LuoPan. It only prescribed that 24 mountain is further categorized into Heaven, Man and Earth subsector or Yuan Dragon in the manner of Yin-Yang-Yang or Yang-Yin-Yin configurations. Thereafter… nothing mentioned.

To the ONE RING masters, especially from the Flying Star School, these Yin-Yang-Yang or Yang-Yang-Yin configurations are how the 9 stars “fly” forward or backward in the LoShu chart. Beyond that… nothing mentioned.

So, before one worries about 明师盘线, loosely translated as Great Master’s LuoPan Line, emmm… what say if one try to find out, why do of the so called, SanYuan LuoPan has the YinYang configuration such as this?

FengShui Basic - XuanKong Classics

The celebrated poem of XuanKong comes in 4 components as the following: -

1. Purple White Script (紫白诀)

2. Ode to Mysticism (玄机赋)

3. Ode to Flying Stars (飞星赋)

4. Secrets of XuanKong (玄空秘旨)

Hung HinCheong has written a series of marvelous translation on these 4 classics and is now available in the market. The notable gist of these translations was the appended commentary which is the summarized commentaries from the various Chinese sources available. Therefore, it is some sort of mass market knowledge available for consumption. The caveat is how reliable is this information as pertaining to true application of XuanKong? 

Take for instance, Purple White Script (紫白诀) which believed to have been the foundation of Flying Star. Shen JuRen 沈竹礽 school of thought uses only the Lower Scroll. Tan YangWu denounces Flying Star outright in favor of LiuFa 六法. Yet, not many people actually look at Kong ZhaoSu 孔昭苏 school of thought for an alternative. 

Ode to Mysticism (玄机赋) and Ode to Flying Stars (飞星赋) were written with an 8 mansion BaZhai (八宅) undertones, concealed as a Flying Star classic. So, misinterpretations are common. 

For example, Ode to Flying Stars (飞星赋) script 15: If one get infected by disease at a brothel, it is only because 7 and right assistant (9) are joined by Yellow (5); immediately we ought to think it is 7-9 with the monthly 5 visiting which will caused STD. How often would one get 7-9-5 with all the visiting annual, monthly and daily stars keep changing? This passage is only talking about 5 Ghosts in 8 mansions 八宅. 

There is really no rush about dwelling in theoretical FengShui such as these when the fundamental is missing. Ultimately, it is the fundamental that is working and while we can argued till the cow goes home, we learnt very little of how to receive ShengQi.

FengShui Basic - Entering Earth Eye (入地眼)

Almost fainted! One chap from Penang emailed and give an outright pop-quiz, asking – where is the moosti-spot? The picture has been reproduce in graphical manner, to illustrate the virtual veins from the series of humps some called Dragon. Honestly, such pop-quiz like this nature really belittle the intelligent of the author of RuDi Yan 入地眼 or Entering Earth Eye, believed to have been written by GuTuo of the Zhou Dynasty. By the way, why all the sudden so much interest has been garnered on this single classic? Is it because of QuanYuan's syllabus?

This classics lay out the fundamental of locating LongXue 龙穴, which some believed to have been as small as 3 feet by 3 feet, where the coffin needs to be buried vertically, is uttered rubbish. This is called, Die Standing! Some market it, liked nobody business, other holds it so sacredly that they were given specific instructions as to how many LongXue 龙穴 can they dot in their entire life. It is even coded in their name, for example Mao ZiDong’s FengShui master  不过五, where 5 is the limit.  Anyway, if one really waits for the so called LongXue 龙穴 to be buried 6 feet under, well just wait. There are always better alternative.

Contradict to many believes, most vibrant cities liked Bangkok, Rio and New York are flourishing in coastal, flat and probably what is significantly known as Spiral City or area surrounded by mountains. Take a good look at Rio, for example. The slums are actually dotting the mountains. Wonders why are all those "Dragon Spots" seem to breakdown or probably it will not work in the other side of the Pacific? 

Entering Earth Eye does not warrant one to climb mountain everyday, in this modern context, just to look for spot. Unlike rural area, urban context is a different cup of tea. GPS and GOOGLE are new technologies that ease determination of a FengShui structure much-much easier compared to our forefather's era.

Furthermore, this very town would not have flourished if the LongXue 龙穴 is only nestled around the “moosti” spot? So, it cannot be just a spot right? If one understand the essence of RuDi Yan 入地眼, you are able to make do with receiving ShengQi everywhere. You do not need a 3 feet by 3 feet spot to Die Standing.

Wise up!

FengShui Basic - The Art of Receiving Yin (收山出煞) 2

LiQi 理氣 must conform to forms 形勢 for things to work. Alongside with some observations, those tilted doors which work are actually the one which conforms to land form. However, how do one know that it is the forms 形勢 that is working all these while and not LiQi 理氣, as forms never lie, formula not necessary tells the truth. It is therefore, prudent to note that door tilting is not the only answer to 收山出煞.

Another form of 收山出煞, came from SanYuan LungMen BaDa Ju, 龍門八大局 or their SanHe version called QianKun GuoBao, 乾坤國寶. Before these schools ever attempt to 收山出煞, they must first define the confluence of two rivers from the Heaven Gua not breaking the Earth Gua structure. If it ever conforms to the 8 structures 八大局, they will attempt to receive Yin 收山 otherwise they will alter their facing to rid themselves from the 8 Killing Waters and the 8 Killing Mountains. These schools also derived a Middle Heaven Gua 中天卦, sometimes also referring to as Star Robbery, having to deal with such is their version of pushing Sha 出煞. Vividly remember a fellow Penang master, having to joke that as though these methods teach you to pull your pants down before you fart, in their attempt to play with the Heaven and Earth Gua. Very thought provoking and entertaining indeed. Theoretical wise, it makes sense. Practical wise, some of the so called 8 structures 八大局 contradict landform principles. So, their versions of 收山出煞 is again good on theory, faulty in application.

YangGong method 楊公法 needs little introduction. Calling the art of receiving Yin and pushing Sha, 收山出煞 by another name, XiaoSha NaShui 消砂纳水, this SanHe version uses a combination of dependent theories to evaluate the environment, layer by layer of YinYang to determine the so called Pure YinYang 純陰陽. So, contradictory that absolute YinYang would not grow, so how possible is it to receive ShengQi? Here is where the “great misunderstanding” comes in. XiaoSha NaShui 消砂纳水 is entirely different from ShouShan ChuSha 收山出煞. One is talking about NaShui 纳水 the other is talking about ShouShan 收山. The operative word is what is the use of ShouShan 收山? Other than that is lineage secret – out of bound. 

The much proven method of 收山出煞, is within its landform with regards to its Qi mouth receiving Qi from the Bright Hall. Receiving Yin 收山, is to sink in and 出煞 is to protrude. Sunken or protrude doesn’t automatically means one is able to receive or retain ShengQi. The idea of sunken when the Qi flow is weak or Yin and to protrude to catch Qi in the wide open space or strong flowing Qi or Yang Qi may also be misleading. This is often a beginner’s mistake. There are many more layers of YinYang which this very method of 收山出煞 needs to gel with, in order to see results. YinYang is only the very first layer to begin with.

TianYu Jing 天玉經 has this to say, 

汝今傳得地中仙，玄空妙难言，翻天倒地更玄玄，大卦不易傳。

更有收山出煞诀，亦兼为汝说。相逢大地能几人，各个是知心，

若还求地不种德，稳口深藏舌。

Translated as - now you have passed down teachings to obtain earth immortality, XuanKong subtlety is difficult to describe. Transforming Heaven changing Earth furthermore very mysterious, DaGua difficult to pass down. Furthermore, have receiving Yin pushing Sha methodology, similar, together have you persuaded. Meet great earth, can how many person be? Everyone does care. If still look for earth without cultivating virtues, conceal mouth deeply hide tongue.

This may be a reason, why many teachers are not willing to teach this very fundamental knowledge of FengShui and all that can be prescribed are the tons of theory which if often nice on paper, difficult in application. 

One FengShui enthusiast from Penang asked, why are you not teaching FlyingStar? The answer to her is obvious; FlyingStar can easily be read off from books. Others liked receiving Yin and pushing Sha, 收山出煞 is priceless. That is one reason, Establishing Heaven Heart (天心十道) and Arranging YinYang (阴阳排龙) is in our syllabus for the beginners.
