A different naked eye system ? (Last Part)

The following is a re-blog from www.yxlfengshui.com

The same reader after following the blog on 'A different naked eye system', he pointed out to me that the Left (Dragon) side of the Rojak stall that I have previously posted (Refer to blog on Prosperous business) is in fact Yang (road). Therefore the stall is expected to be prosperous according to his Naked eye logic.

Before you start raising doubts with our Yi Logic, let us look at the queue of this vegetarian stall.

Assuming the façade (where the queue and tables are) as the facing, the right (Tiger) side of the stall is a walkway and therefore considered as Yang. This contradicts his logic but how do you explain the long queue?

In fact, the front of the stall shares the same direction as the flow of the queue. Suppose we use it as the facing, the right side where the queue side is again Yang (open area). Worst still, the back (Black Tortoise) side which prefer Yin (Stillness) is now Yang (Walkway). Without back support (贵人)how is it possible that the business remains good? He is also puzzled as I explained...

Does it mean we have a battle of 2 Naked eye systems?

Receiving Qi is the primary reason behind the long queue. You may start to ponder about the efficacy of naked eye technique or perhaps should we focus on formula alone?

Let me explain base Yi logic using wealth accumulation as an analogy.

To accumulate wealth 1st you need to have at least an external source (go out and earn) therefore Yang. Next you need a secure vault to contain the inflow. This is akin to savings and therefore Yin.

If there is a leak in your vault but to someone who is resourceful, it may not matters much as inflow is greater than outflow. He probably can even afford big ticket items in life.

The problem starts when the leak becomes comparable to the magnitude of inflow. This is common to most people but through proper money management they can still survive. What it means is that modest saving, think thrice before swapping card for Prada, unable to cross Altantic or Pacific every year but no problem for JB every weekend if they want to. This is 'normal' as God has decided we shall obey the Gaussian law in the distribution of wealth.

The issue becomes chronic when the leak is greater than the inflow and to patch the issue some ended up borrowing resulting in negative flow…

So ask yourself which do you prefer?

Now the vault (savings, 库）is akin to the structure of your house (form) and therefore Yin. 

External source (make money, 赚钱) is akin to the formless Qi your house is receiving. So you should know why Chinese always associate wealth as 财库. Note to be exact, source should be the source that emits Qi (氣口). Naked eye assess the structure while the formula that we advocate Xuan Kong Liu Fa (XKLF) looks at how to harness Qi from the environment and that is how a Feng Shui should be assessed. Therefore structure form is as important as receiving Qi in wealth accumulation. The main question here should be what is the optimal percentage between the two in Feng Shui that creates wealth? Next what are the formations that usher wealth, promotion/status, taohua... I am afraid you will need to pay me a visit to find out the answer. 

To conclude, the answer for the long queue lies in this photo here. 

A different naked eye system ? (Part 2)

The following is a re-blog from www.yxlfengshui.com

Naked Eye formula - 4 Celestial Anaimals

I thought it would be more complete to share with you guys with a bit more on the Yi logic 易理 behind the Naked eye system. In particular, we will explain how the Yin Yang relationship for the 4 celestial animals (Green Dragon青龍, White Tiger 白虎, Black Tortoise 玄武and Red Phoenix 朱雀) are being defined for a site. These animals respectively denotes the Left, Right, Back and Front of a site.

First of all let us look at what is meant by Yin (隂) and Yang (陽) but due to the abstractness of the concept I will just state their features as follows:

• Yin possesses the properties: Still (静), absorb/receptive(吸收) has a form(有形), internal(内), self (我) and therefore perceived as a ‘body’ (体). Let us termed it as Yin body.
• Yang possesses the properties: Movement(動), disperse/radiating(散/發射), formless(無形), external(外), others (他) and therefore perceived as a ‘force field’ known as ‘Qi’ (气). Let us termed it as Yang Qi.

As mentioned in my previous blog, Naked eye (形家長眼法) Feng Shui system is developed from Hetu (河图) as shown.

Briefly, the Hetu is divided into 3 layers:

• 1, 2, 3 & 4 are known as producing numbers (生数) and they form the inner arrangement. Inner is Yin therefore it represent a 'form' a 'body'
• 6, 7, 8 & 9 are known as forming numbers (成数) and they form the outer arrangement. Outer is Yang therefore it represent the 'formless' Qi and in layman it is known as force field.
• 5 reside in the kernel and is the separation distance between producing and forming numbers for e.g. 1(producing) + 5(kernel) = 6(forming). As such, this draws the distinction between inner and outer arrangement, which gives rise to an important concept in Yi where the inner (Yin) and outer (Yang) arrangements are used separately (生成分用).
• Odd numbers (单数) 1, 3, 5, 7 & 9 are Yang while Even numbers (偶数) 2, 4, 6, 8 & 10 are Yin.

Let us imagine a Man (人) is lying on top of the Hetu as shown. Therefore, taking the Man as the subject reference, the inner arrangement of producing numbers represents his entire body that has a visible form (Yin body). Here comes the fun part. Let us consider the Hetu's inner and outer arrangement separately. We first look at the internal. The position of 1 which is Yang (agile) is located at the front with the legs, 2 being Yin (restricted agility) is at the back with the head, 4 being Yin is at the left with the left hand (restricted agility) and 3 being Yang (agile) is at the right with the right hand. Now do you know why we mostly right handed and our head are not as agile as our legs! Denoting Yang as '+' and Yin as '-' we have established the Yin Yang cardinal relationship (Left, Right, Back & Front) of a 'body'  base on Hetu:

Besides facial or body features, we as human tends to associate our kind base on each individual's character (abstract & formless). The outer arrangement of forming numbers represent the characteristics that ‘emanates’ out the body. For example a person’s thinking capability (fast or slow thinker), specialization, habit, temper, moral values, inter-personal relationship, wealth, career etc.

You may be wondering how Hetu is linked to a person's character? Before we come to that, let us look at the Hetu's forming arrangement. We group the forming numbers according to even and odd. Using the same notation '-' as Yin for (6 & 8) and '+' as Yang for (7 & 9).

Yin is receptive and exhibit accumulative image. This means habit and specialization are Yin. Yang has a ‘kinetic’ nature therefore promotes the ability to innovate and visualize. This means thinking capability and intellectual are Yang.

By induction, we can also assess a person’s inter-personal relationship using the same logic. For example, Yin which exhibits a passive relationship. Therefore a kid (need to be raised), friend (need to be engaged) and woman (needs to be wooed) and they are categorized as Yin. Similarly, Yang exhibits a proactive relationship and so elder (take care of young), nobleman (help the needy) and man (woo the wife). So now you should know the reason why it is always the man propose marriage to woman and very seldom the opposite and why woman look for sense of security in a man.....

A person’s achievement in terms of wealth, career, and nobility can also be deduced with the same logic. For example, a person’s wealth (I earned from others) and career (I built) is Yin. A person’s nobility (titles suc as Tan Seri is other bestowed upon me) is Yang. Likewise for status/rank which is appointed by others too

So how do we apply the logic in Naked eye Feng Shui? Before we discussed the application we need to invoke a very important concept in Yi logic: single Yin can’t produce while Yang alone can’t grow (孤阴不生，独阳不长). As you may have already observed that the Hetu is built on balanced pairs of odd even numbers: (1,6), (2,7), (3,8), (4,9) & (5,10) leading to the principle of Yin Yang attracts (阴阳相吸) while same Yin Yang polarity will repel like in magnets.

Hence, with reference to a Man, the head (back) and left side require ‘stillness’ (Yin). If this condition is fulfilled, Yin Yang attracts, the outer arrangement of which represent this person characteristics (force field): thinking capability, elder, man, nobility etc will be lured to this body. Since Yin and Yang is balanced, we will know that this person thinking is sharp, has good relationship with elders/superiors, capable and hold high in appointments etc. However, if the back and left is subjected to ‘movement’ (Yang) this means it will repel the outer arrangement (characteristics). Therefore we know that this person is poor in thinking, does not get support from elder/superior, hold low appointments etc.

Similarly the legs (front) and right side requires ‘movement’ (Yang). If this condition is fulfilled, Yin Yang attracts, the outer arrangement that represents specialization, habits, friends, woman, wealth and career will be lured to this body. Since Yin and Yang is balanced, we know that this person has good habits, qualified specialization, enjoy warm relationship with juniors, receive strong support from friends, progressing careers and makes money etc. However, if the front and right is kept ‘still’ (Yin) this means it will repel the outer arrangement force field. Therefore we know that this person has fetish, incompetent skills, prone to arguments with juniors, receive weak support from friends, prone to obstructions in career and unable to accumulate wealth. Yi logic is easy isn't it?

The following is one of my audit case on office Feng Shui.  By looking at the decor arrangement what can you infer about my client?

My client is a researcher. Her work requires good focus and thinking. The desk is where she carried out her work and therefore we will reference to the person who is using the desk. What we need to do is to check whether this person's left, right, front and back whether they conform to the Yin(Still) Yang(movement) requirements. 

Her left and back is surrounded by a wall which is 'Still' and conforms to the Yin Yang requirements. Hence, we know that she thinks well, and receive support from bosses.  Next the door entrance is where all the movements are and while her immediate front is an open space and therefore her right and front conform to Yin Yang requirements. So we know when comes to work she is a specialist, probably meticulous (good habit) has good rapport with colleagues. Got it? 'See' Feng Shui is dead easy right?

A different naked eye system ?

The following is a re-blog from www.yxlfengshui.com

A local reader visited my blog posting on “Naked Eye at a glance”. He asked if I had made a mistake in my drawing.

In his email he attached the above clips and highlighted to me that the left side (Green Dragon) represented ‘Man’ so it should be Yang while the right (White Tiger) which would be woman and should be ‘Yin’. A harmonious Feng Shui house is Yin Yang balanced and required both the back and right conform to Yin while the front and left conform to Yang as depicted. Therefore, the left side being ‘Yang’ open spaces was preferred while the right being ‘Yin’ preferred buildings.

In my reply, I told him he was correct in his logic but there was no mistake made in my drawing. The fundamental difference between the 2 systems pops out because mine was derived from Yi (易) logic’s Hetu (河图). He should not worry about it.

Anyway I pointed out the following conflicting points in his logic:

Right is Woman which is Yin therefore shouldn’t the right preferred Yang instead to achieve the Yin Yang balance (隂陽相吸)?

Building or mountain which is already Yin by nature and hence by having them on right side (White Tiger) won’t it amplify Yin? No doubt it prosper woman, but note that White Tiger side also means petty people. Therefore, shouldn't there be more arguments and how harmonious can such house be?

Road or open space which is Yang by nature and hence by having them on the left side (Green Dragon) and shouldn't it end up promoting Yang. Because Yang is radiating by nature (阳主发射) this imply man will be ‘weakened’.

Hence according to the drawing(his) of a ‘well-balanced’ Yin and Yang, this suggest woman is in control and overpowering man (妻夺夫权). In such cases the likelihood of arguments are high (petty people) unless the husband doesn’t mind a capable wife earning more. But does the wife mind an incompetent husband in the longer term?

I am not saying our Naked eye system is correct and his logic is flawed. The point made here is that our system is based on Yi (易) and in which the Hetu( 河图) and the Early Heaven Gua (先天卦) are the 'toolkit' for it. Why? Because it serves just well (this is Yi principle too)! It is just like till today we use Newtonian physics to explain motion omitting relativity. Einstein did not create relativity to prove Newton wrong but merely expand the range of physical conditions over which the theory applied.

However, what is important is the Yi logic used in the deduction is constrained within Yi avoiding ambiguity like in his logic. Next, taking the example from my previous post, there is a famous Naked Eye quote: “龍边带路主犯偷盗” which means a premise is prone to theft if there is a road (Yang) on the Dragon side(Left). His logic will not be able to explain the theft .....
