FengShui = Metaphysics?

Calling FengShui as Chinese Metaphysics is just another naming convention. The tag 'meta' only denotes that 2 fundamentals  of FengShui that are still not scientifically proven. One is Qi existence and the other, its unit measurement. In a nutshell, it is a paradigm, not a science. 

Similarly, the notable 5 arts are grouped together as a convention rather then specific classifications. The 5 arts interlace one another in a flux, not in duality. 

Advertising a course as techniques that can can cure the sick, enrich the poor and smartened  the dull is a nicer way to say it is a magician making FengShui course. The Chinese called it the Art of the Immortal. Yet, the teacher is only a mortal. Now, that is a sheer contradiction. 

It is only true that cure the sick, enrich the poor and smartened  the dull are among the many reasons, why people are willing to invest hard earned money into this branch of metaphysics. Without such abilities, it does not worth its charms. FengShui consumers want miracles. Miracle is FengShui's commodities. In Maoist's view, it is the opium of the people.

FengShui methods that delivers such miracle is hard to come by. If the method works, it must work for everyone without exception. This in turn, is called consistency. The litmus test is its ability to bring about measurable results. 

Measurable results are statistical benchmarks set prior to the makeover, for example 50% increase in current sales value, better academic results in the next semester or improvement in human relationship. Sale increments are the easiest to benchmark. That is one reason commercial FengShui is so much easier to measure outcomes

LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 and MingShi PanXian 明師盤線

Back in Sept 2012, I have written extensively on the Trilogy of The SanHe Lord of The Rings: Fellowship of The 24 Mountains, The Two Mountains and Return of The Seam Needle. It is interesting to note that Skinner mentioned about the “Outer Heaven Plate” being the Seam Needle in his LuoPan Compendium. The “Outer Heaven Plate” consists of the followings: - 

1. The 28 Asterisms. 

2. The 365 Degree of the Asterisms. 

3. Annotation to the Degree of the Asterisms. 

4. 60+ Contracting and Expanding Dragons. 

These are grouped as “outer” because it comes after the YangGong’s Heaven Ring. In some Chinese LuoPan, this “outer heaven” plate is given some special rendition such as XieZi, LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 60 Dragon, MingShi PanXian 明師盤 Gold Division and so forth.  

Very little is written about this in the English literature. Google LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 and MingShi PanXian 明師盤線, 2 thick Chinese books written respectively by Chen YiCheng 陳怡誠 revealed. These books appeared to be laden with formulas and charts describing the application of LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 and MingShi PanXian 明師盤線. However, the actual contents related to LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 and MingShi PanXian 明師盤線 is very minimal and ambiguous in nature. It generally specifies the usage of the “outer heaven plate”. 

In relation to LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏, the salient features are: - 

1. Verifying the spot based on Degree of the Asterisms. 

2. Degree of the Asterisms as the Host, 28 Asterisms elements is the Guest. 

3. 5 elemental interplay justify the Degree to be usable or unusable. 

4. Based on this spot sitting, deduced the DaGua elements using the 60+ Contracting and Expanding Dragons. 

5. Some permutation using NaJia is required. 

6. Similarly, water locations at the embrace must conform to 5 elemental interplay. 

7. This is also known as Six Relationship六親/ LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 water method 水法. 

In relation to MingShi PanXian 明師盤線, the salient features are: - 

1. As the 1st book did not specify incoming or outgoing water in the Six Relationship 六親/ LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 water method水法, MingShi PanXian 明師盤線 attempt to justify incoming or outgoing water positions. 

2. The justification uses YangGong 12 growth phases. 

The drawbacks are: - 

1. It never specifies which sets of 28 Asterism to use, knowing well that the 28 Asterism has since shifted? 

2. It did not clarify the origin of the LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 elements attached to the 60+ Contracting and Expanding Dragons. 

3. Constructing the DaGua Hexagram and assigning its elements are hilarious. 

4. Ultimately, it has to succumb to use YangGong 12 growth phases to justify water exits.

If you have paid heftily for those courses that were taught based on the methods of these books, GOOD LUCK!

陰陽永遠分不開 - YinYang Forever Cannot be Discern...

陰陽永遠分不開. The obvious English interpretation is - YinYang forever can never be separated. If you think this is correct, then you are obviously wrong! The reason is “分不開” does not mean separation. It simply means to say, YinYang forever cannot be discern on its very own. If you read it like this, its meaning is totally different. Would you still want to learn YiJing base on English book?

A newly opened confectionary with good business, meaning good FengShui. Do you notice that the effect of陰陽永遠分不開? No need undulating floor, Xue and the common stuff liked tilted door. Just simple play of 陰陽 of the interior furniture layout. Use the same technique for your house is total disaster. Why? The reason is 陰陽永遠分不開. Until one really understood the 陰 in commerce is the 陽 of dwelling then you will easily understand why some good commercial master when they perform residential FengShui the results are far beyond satisfaction.

Do you want a dwelling 陰 or 陽? With such an understanding do you know why your 8 mansions 八宅 method solely based on the bread winner’s Gua cannot work? The true essence of FengShui is to use the 陰 to obtain the 陽, but the question is how?

The answer is always 陰陽永遠分不開.

The YiJing of Bolehland Government

 

What we perceived Bolehland Executive Structure is liked a Pyramid where its CEO is at the pinnacle. This is a Normal Western Outlook. In terms of YiJing Gua, such arrangement is horrible. Even when he wins the Bolehland election with the slimmer majority, its CEO is on the way to the chopping board and the next CEO goes up the pedestal.

 

However, the Bolehland Supremo is smarter, probably he understood YiJing Gua. He has his proxy runs Bolehland. Anyone failed his expectation; he has someone else ready to take over, ultimately from his pool of family members. A Dynasty in creation. He is the actual seat of POWER. Better, most proxies cannot see eye to eye with each other thus create the “check and balance”. What has this got to do with YiJing Gua?

 

The first scenario is where Gen above Kun. A single Yang Yao supported by all the Yin Yao. Any mistake from the bottom Yao, the entire structure collapse like a house of cards. Do you think it is favorable?

 

The second scenario is where Zhen above Kun. A single Yang Yao just manage to resemble upon crossing the lower trigram. It is liked an impossible task managed to be completed successfully. A break through. YiJing jargon denotes – a successful crossing. So, whichever the top Yin Yao collapse, the Yang Yao is still hidden, untouchable. Beautiful and a good resemblance of DunJia 遁甲.

 

Can never have enough of such ancient timeless wisdom.

Bolehland's Poison Is Kiasuland's Meat

 

Reading this article, Singapore – Friend or Foe caught me thinking. Similarly to the question, YinYang forever cannot be discerned on its own 陰陽永遠分不開, in order for this Kiasuland to prosper, its neighbors must be otherwise. Look around Indonesia and Bolehland, what had they in common - Corruption?

 

Kiasuland is nestle neatly embraced by the strait of Johore, receiving Qi from the Titiwangsa take a deep dive under the strait of Johore and resurfaced in Bukit Timah dropping its Spot in the region of Raffles, where central CBD is centralized. Cluster of islands forming Indonesia deflected Qi to this very same spot making it a perpetual Qi generator. The Johore causeway only strengthens such mechanism. Any attempt to replace it with bridge is impossible as the patriarch of Kiasuland knows too well that its main Qi conduit rests within this connection. A clean internal stream within the island state distributes quality Qi evenly to all parts.

 

As Kiasuland shares similarity in cultural inclination and historical background with Bolehland any weakness in Bolehland would be the strength of Kiasuland. If Bolehland civil administration is good with minimal corruption, would MNC set up their regional HQ in Kiasuland? If Bolehland pratices meritocracy, would there be brain drain to Kiasuland? If Bolehland economy prospers her citizen, would Kiasuland be the economic center of SEA? However, History has no “IF”.

 

The current disillusion state of Bolehland would only prosper Kiasuland. With the rise of Indonesia, commodities of Bolehland are in the threshold of self-destruction. Industrials are relocating to the northern region of Indochina for lower operation cost . Dampened meritocracy escalate brain drain benefitting others. Social unrest with the minimal trust now vested upon the system of democracy of Bolehland from the Judiciary, Legislative to the Executive right up to the most fundamental of homeland security of the police force, influx of aliens with illegitimate citizenship, depletion of the middle income group and rise of cronyism and corruption, uncontrolled inflation and the sort.

 

Only when Kiasuland’s neighbors are in the state of disorientation, real prosperity of Kiasuland would grow. This is the fundamental of Real Yin Real Yang. The purest Yang would grow within the oldest and the dying Yin.

 

This is how one discern YinYang.

Post GE 13 - Trouble Waiting?

 

The Malaysian GE 13 is over… Those who predicted BN lost based on the RAHMAN Prophecy are going to eat humble pies. Just the night before voting, I drew a Gua contemplating will Pakatan win? I got Earth above Water. One solitary Yang among the Yin – Not good and too much obstacles. It is also not at the correct location. The wrong Gua, TianHuo ThongRen is better while the rest is history.

 

Good Luck Malaysia...

Who Is The Winner of GE 13?

 

GE13 Fevers continue… It is also a classic examples of 陰陽永遠分不開.

 

1. BN is the current Government and as compared to the people, it is Yang 陽. Thus the current Opposition is Yin 陰.

2. All BN’s action is visible, Yang 陽, all Opposition’s action is subversive, Yin 陰.

3. When BN seems to rule, Yang 陽, its subversive intention is corruption, Yin 陰.

4. When the Oppositions voice their frustrations, Yin 陰, its obvious reason is to uphold righteousness, Yang 陽.

5. That is the reason why BN’s being Yang 陽, uses Yin 陰 subversive approach liked scare tactics, bribery, insinuation, vulgarity, under handed approach and the such…

6. On the other hand, the Opposition being Yin 陰, uses Yang 陽 approach liked exposing the scandals, solidarity to fight a cause, mass appeal, popular policies drive and the such…

7. When a Yin 陰 too much, it becomes Yang 陽. Similarly, when a Yang 陽 too much, it becomes Yin 陰. This is the natural order of Yi. The only unchanged is change.

8. BN must not transform… but look what it is happening? Transformation is also their motto. When the Gua transform, Yang 陽 to Yin 陰, government becomes Opposition.

9. Opposition must transform, it is natural for their motto to be Change! When the Gua transform, Yin 陰 to Yang 陽, Opposition becomes government.

10. That is the natural order of things…

 

So, guess who will win?
