About arranging the circle of cards, you start with a centre card and then go clockwise with the 1st card which is the King of Clubs on the left which is the East and then the 2nd card which is the Queen of Heart which is South East and so forth. The last card which is the Eight of Spades completes the Bagua of the first inner circle.
This Bagua then refer to the eight areas or palaces of your life. Let’s look at it as the eight main directions with North, Ten of Spade at the bottom which is for Affinity, 人缘, then clockwise to North East which is Eight of Spade for Children palace, then clockwise to East, the card of King of Clubs which is for Career. South East, the Queen of Hearts will then be for areas relating to Business or Partnership. The Ace of Hearts which is the South, the top card in the inner circle which is for all Relationships. It is not the same meanings for Affinity. The Next Card, Eight of Hearts is then for Family matters referring to wife, siblings, parents and so forth. The King of Hearts which would be the West as in the Bagua would then be for Wealth Luck. And the King of Diamonds which is then for North West will be for areas related to Personal Health and Virtue.
On the arrangement of the outer circle of cards and fengshui, next episode.
Being busy with meetings lately, got an offer to do a fengshui audit in a third world country Argh but wait, it’s in US dollars, still sounds attractive. However, they need to do some markup on my consultation fees and such they have to look for a not known practitioner like me who have nothing to complain. Well, have to say thanks to my connections, principles aside but for a casino? They got to be kidding, it ‘s not my cup of tea, ha-ha. Of course, have to reject it though I can’t do without money, ha-ha, Hah.
Anyway to carry on, let’s put poker card divination aside and instead look at music appreciation which is what Na-Yin is about and what it got to do with Feng shui and the importance of knowing the Chinese language for metaphysics. An MTV to pass your time…..
No, that I’ m starting a music appreciation course, ha-ha but you can try to learn Chinese through songs if you like MUSIC.
Farmer John lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the traffic built-up at an alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day.
So one day Farmer John called the sheriffs office and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens."
"What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff.
"I don't care," said Farmer John. "Just do something about these crazy drivers!" So the next day, the sheriff had the county workers go out and erected a sign that said, SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING.
Three days later Farmer John called the sheriff and said, "You've got to do something about these drivers. The school crossing sign seems to make them go even faster." So, again, the sheriff sends out the county workers and they put up a new sign that said, SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY.
But that sped them up even more! So Farmer John kept calling, and the sheriff kept changing the signs.
Finally, Farmer John said to the sheriff, "Your signs are doing no good. Can I put up my own sign?" The sheriff was ready to let Farmer John do just about anything in order to get him to stop calling every day. He said, "Sure thing, put up your own sign." And after that, the sheriff got no more calls from Farmer John.
Three weeks later, curiosity got the best of the sheriff and he decided to give Farmer John a call. "Hows the problem with those drivers? Did you put up your sign?"
"Oh, I sure did. And not one chicken has been killed since then. Ive got to go. Im very busy." He hung up the phone.
The sheriff was really curious now and he thought to himself "Id better go out there and take a look at that sign... it might be something that WE could use to slow down drivers..." So the sheriff drove out to Farmer Johns house, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign. It was spray-painted on a sheet of wood:
NUDIST COLONY-Go Slow and Watch Out for the CHICKS
Ha-ha, still in relax mode today. Also looking back at the yesteryear, the friends that came and went. Also for the relatives of the victims of the fatal plane crash in New York.Reminds us to treasure our close ones when they are around, right?
No, I am not again on music appreciation. Just can’t help but got caught up with this guy zest for life or music.
In Memory of Joseph Raymond Conniff (November 06, 1916 – October 12, 2002)an American musician. The Ray Conniff Singers (also known as Ray Conniff and the Singers) were a vocal group established 1959 by composer-arranger-bandleader Ray Conniff. Their biggest hit was "Somewhere My Love" in 1966, which reached #9.
Till-then, cheers. About metaphysics, another day. Why bother, enjoy today first.
A traveler became lost in the Sahara desert. Realizing his only chance for survival was to find civilization, he began walking. Time passed, and he became thirsty. More time passed, and he began feeling faint. He was on the verge of passing out when he spied a tent about 500 meters in front of him. Barely conscious, he reached the tent and called out, "Water...".
A bedouin appeared in the tent door and replied sympathetically, "I am sorry, sir, but I have no water. However, would you like to buy a tie?" With this, he brandished a collection of exquisite silken neckwear.
"You fool," gasped the man. "I'm dying! I need water!"
"Well, sir," replied the bedouin, "If you really need water, there is a tent about two kilometers south of here where you can get some."
Without knowing how, the man summoned sufficient strength to drag his parched body the distance to the second tent. With his last ounce of strength he tugged at the door of the tent and collapsed.
Another bedouin, dressed in a costly tuxedo, appeared at the door and enquired, "May I help you sir?"
"Water..." was the feeble reply.
"Oh, sir," replied the bedouin, "I'm sorry, but you can't come in here without a tie!"
Ha-ha,
Ah, today personal time and thoughts on my blog. Feel like lazing around. For any metaphysics stuffs, please go to my links for my latest posting.
Finally, found the original sound track of ‘Pieces of April’ by Three Dog Night for the movie ‘Notebook’ posted by a kind user in You Tube. Yippee yippe yeah! Guess I have to match the Ying and Yang by playing both MTV though it isn’t that great as I can’t find the original Movie that it came with when I first come across it.. No offence, anyway thanks, You Tube. Somehow, the previous MTV I had posted in my blog last year gives some kind of kicks and inspirations when I’ m feeling lethargic. Looking at what Mankind have which the Beast do not have.
The lyrics of the song by the original composer and singer, Loggins.
'April gave us springtime and the promise of the flowers And the feeling that we both shared and the love that we called ours We knew no time for sadness, that's a road we each had crossed We were living a time meant for us, and even when it would rain we would laugh it off.
I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet I've got pieces of April, it's a morning in May
We stood on the crest of summer, beneath an oak that blossomed green Feeling as I did in April, not really knowing what it means But it must be then that you stand beside me now to make me feel this way Just as I did in April, but it's a morning in May.
I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May
I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May'
But I really prefer the song sung by Three Dog Night to go with the movie, no offence.
Found the original video by one kind soul, candleritz, hee-hee....
Understanding about destructive and productive cycles of elements in Metaphysics.
A preacher dies, and when he gets to Heaven, he sees a New York cab driver who has more crowns. He says to an angel, "I don't get it. I devoted my whole life to my congregation."
The angel says, "We reward results. Did your congregation always pay attention when you gave a sermon?"
The preacher says, "Once in a while, someone of course would fell asleep."
The angel says, "Right. But when people rode in this guy's taxi, they not only just stayed awake, they usually prayed!"
Ha-ha,
Okay, back to Mei Hua Yi Shu.
Lets look at imagery, since the Dui represent a young woman,
▅▅ ▅▅ ▅▅▅▅▅ ▅▅▅▅▅
The Dui falling down would show a young woman who would ended up falling like this. ▅▅▅▅▅ ▅▅▅▅▅ ▅▅ ▅▅
on her bottoms when frightened by the old gardener, the image associated with Qian
▅▅▅▅▅ ▅▅▅▅▅ ▅▅▅▅▅
And as the story took place in a garden with a tree, and the image of fire is like that of a image of a tree blossoming with a crown in summer. The tree picture above. A Main trunk with branches. Fire, Li.
▅▅▅▅▅ ▅▅ ▅▅ ▅▅▅▅▅
Ha-ha, sorry to inform you that you don't need a moving yao for this method by Master Alfred Huang from his book. You used the nuclear trigram, i.e. use the second line, third line and fourth line of the hexagram as a lower trigram and then combine with the fifth and fourth and third line, another trigram to form another hexgram.
The original hexagram derived upon seeing the sign of two sparrows dropping dead at that time. You need a signal like Moses did to forsee and take action and wander in the desert with his people for forty years, yeah?
A Young lady and a Tree. ▅▅ ▅▅ ▅▅▅▅▅ 5 ▅▅▅▅▅ 4 ▅▅▅▅▅ 3 ▅▅ ▅▅ 2 ▅▅▅▅▅
E.g.
Lower Trigram
▅▅▅▅▅ 4 ▅▅▅▅▅ 3 ▅▅ ▅▅ 2
+
Upper Trigram
▅▅▅▅▅ 5 ▅▅▅▅▅ 4 ▅▅▅▅▅ 3
and you will get this divination.
An old man and a fallen lady.
▅▅▅▅▅ 5 ▅▅▅▅▅ 4 ▅▅▅▅▅ 3 ▅▅▅▅▅ 4 ▅▅▅▅▅ 3 ▅▅ ▅▅ 2
Caution on usage.
About using this divination, you must have the feel to use it. Doesn't mean that when you want to let out your frustrations and use it to find out when your enemy will get his shit (that kind of mentality). At your own risk.
Okay, back to poker cards divinations. What about the tens? Ah, this is what everybody wants in life, Wealth. If it is a red color diamond or hearts, money is coming provided if it is the centre card but if out of reach that is within the circle of cards, wealth still coming, only don’t know when, ha-ha. If out of sight, too bad. The rest, next episode, I would carry on in next post.
A man went to see his doctor because he was suffering from a miserable cold. His doctor prescribed some pills, but that didn't help.
He then visits another doctor in the same hospital and complained about his previous doctor. The second doctor then gave him an injection, but that didn't do any good.
He then consults a new doctor in another hospital and start complaining about all his previous experiences. The doctor then told the man, "Go home and take a hot bath. As soon as you finish bathing throw open all the windows and stand in the draft."
"But doc," protested the patient, "if I do that, I'll get pneumonia."
"I know," said the doctor, "But I can cure pneumonia."
Well too bad, our dear You tube is having some copy-rights problems, can’t blame him as his good-will is not appreciated by those so called artistes or whatever. Some are dead but still collecting copyrights dues, ha-ha, wonder how the money gets to them or? Pardon me for my outburst the last time, You tube. Just got cheese off by all these goodies foodies. Yeah, yeah I know there is no freebies in this world.
Ha-ha, back to the Yi Jing Poker Card Divination.
Ok, about the rest of the cards. In general, six would mean matters related to travel and career. Seven would meant matters about documents and education, eight, emotional response to any certain proposed issue and health. Nine would be about the practicality of your actions in mind and also family issues. There are no twos, threes, fours, or fives cards.
Remember that I am using Hsia calendar for timing and as such the lunar calendar will be defined as the Hsia calendar here. After all, I have the right to decides, right? This is my blog, ha-ha. I have enough with all this clocking, real time and false time or GMT, etc, whatever…. Just label the animal or zodiac sign for the month and it will works whether poker cards or Mei Hua Yi Shu.
Mei Hua Yi Shu Divinations. 梅花义数。
Ok, the last time I spoke about the King Wen Sequences on trigrams for numbers, as you know 6 is Fire or Li gua,
▅▅▅▅▅
▅▅ ▅▅
▅▅▅▅▅
Eight is Lake or Tui Gua
▅▅ ▅▅
▅▅▅▅▅
▅▅▅▅▅
Okay then for the rest, you got to check the trigrams yourself.
One will be Qian or Heaven.
Two will be Kan or Water.
Three will be Gen or Mountain.
Four will be Zhen or Thunder.
Five will be Xun or Wind. (this is not yi jing fengshui, so five is usable)
Six will be Li or Fire.
Seven will be Kun or Earth.
Eight is Tui or Lake.
To determine changing circumstances for the moving yao, next episode, ha-ha.
Anyway,if you feel comfortable with using this system from the Numerology of the I Ching by Master Alfred Huang, please do so. If not, forget that you ever saw this posting, ha-ha.
