Feng shui more than just wind and water
Tuesday, March 24, 2015
Even knowledgeable scientists admit they know only 4 percent of this cosmic world.
What about feng shui masters? Do they know it all? Certainly not!
But before you make any judgment call on feng shui, just because you cannot comprehend certain concepts, read on.
The astronomer Copernicus expounded his dream that the Earth is not the center of the universe, and he was sent to jail for eight years and asked to repent.
Since he could not prove his theory, he was cast aside, until Galileo proved it scientifically by using his telescope.
Pythagoras and calculus with their mathematical models were once dismissed as superstition, only to be cheered once people understood them.
Feng shui faces similar doubts since modern science cannot prove the existence of subtle energy.
But if you look at scientific findings like cosmic rays and radioactivity, you will realize that many more terms in science may be used to represent feng shui findings.
In simple terms, the study of feng shui revolves around cause and effect: things start to form, then disperse and decay.
The best move for a wise feng shui master would be to tap into and harness the best kinds of energy at different facets in the cycle.
In defiance of critics, we should examine the insufficient knowledge human beings had of the cosmos more than 2,000 years ago.
The ancient Chinese managed to chart the five planets Mercury, which represents water, Venus metal, Jupiter wood, Mars fire, and Saturn earth
on top of the sun and moon.
The ancient Chinese looked upon the seven stars of the Great Bear as forming a farming clock, with its tail acting like the arm of a clock. It is a simple method to determine 24 seasonal parts in the Chinese calendar.
When the tail points to the east, it is spring; when south, it is summer; when west, it is autumn; and when north, it is winter.
These seven stars, together with the interaction of the sun and moon, provide brightness and exercise influence on Earth, and thus living beings.
Therefore, yin and yang, as well as the five elements, are theories that are not without basis.
Chinese are proud of their ancestors who invented the compass.
The use of a magnetic needle to gauge direction may be pretty basic, but its usefulness is enormous.
Ancient Chinese were able to equate current directions with the movement of air and water.
Air is quicker than water, so is placed ahead, or to the left side of the axis, with water on the right.
Feng shui literally means wind and water, and is called so because it's a thing like wind, which you cannot comprehend, and like water, which you cannot grasp.
But if you are a regular reader, you should know by now that it's a lot more than that.
