Grasshopper: ‘Master, what is this Qi that everybody is talking about?’
Master: ‘What do you actually mean?’
Grasshopper: ‘I mean is it invisible Energy?’
Master: ‘How do you know it is invisible?’
Grasshopper: ‘We can’t see it right?’
Master:’ Can the fishes see the water they are swimming in?’
Grasshopper protest: ‘But we can’t use that to compare!’
Master: ‘Of course, you are not a fish and you won’t know what the fish knows’
Grasshopper: ‘Then?’
Master: ‘Is there any fishes in the Oceans that do not have water in its bodies?’
Thinking he have got it finally,
Grasshopper: ‘Maybe I rephrase it Master, if Qi is the air that we breathe, why does it comes from the ground below us and also in the water and also from the Heavens’
Master: ‘Can the Fish see you?’
Grasshopper: ‘Depends’
Master: ‘Therefore Partly….’
Grasshopper: ‘Why Partly? I don’t understand about the Fish seeing me’
Master: ‘Be patient, you will know as time goes by.’
Many, many years later,
Grasshopper and his disciple Fishy
Fishy: ‘Master, what is this Qi that we must learn to use in Feng shui’
Master Grasshopper: ‘What do you actually mean?’
Fishy: ‘I mean is it Visible and Invisible Energy?’
Master: ‘You mean it is Visible and Invisible Energy?’
Fishy: ‘Yes, it should have two forms’
Master: ‘Can you see Energy in Forms’
Fishy: ‘Yes in the clouds that are moved by the winds, in the rains that comes down on us’
Master: ‘Then what is Energy???’
Fishy: ‘Qi is then Energy’
Master: ‘Partly….’
Fishy: ‘Why partly?’
Master: ‘Does the rain that comes down on us fill us with Energy?’
Fishy: 'But Master, it does not but it gives life to everything.'
Master: ‘Be patient, and one fine day, you will know…’
Somewhere in the Near Future,
Master Fishy and his disciple Ignoramus
Master Fishy: 'So Ignoramus, what do you understand about Qi now?'
Beep!!!!!! Ha-ha, I am getting Bored and I want to let off steams as what they will says in 5arts Forum.
This is the Bazi chart for Liu Wei ,the talented no arms pianist that I have mentioned in my last post.
壬己己丁 申丑酉卯
Hour pillar not known and 壬申is for show only.
戊 Luck Pillar 申 9-18 years
丁 1997 丑 10 years old. Lost his arms through an accident while playing with high voltage wires.
Shen Sha or Angels and Demons in Bazi, 丑is also his Heaven Dog star, a person with this star is prone to injuries from accidents. As in the classical text, two competing of Chou 丑 for metal combination will unlock the existing partial Tri-combination of 丑 and 酉 in the original chart and release 酉 to clash on to 卯 in the original birth chart. 酉 is also known as the Misfortune star. 卯 represent the arms or fingers. However some experts says that there is no tri-combinations as there is an existing clash by the side. So will that means that if a person spouse palace or day pillar have an existing clash will never get married?
丁 Luck pillar 未19 to 28 years is supposed to be his Heaven Void meaning Empty during this period, why is it not activated? It is also his sword star and combining with 卯 in the chart and moving the sword. Do you realised he has almost the same chart as Mr. Obama and even the present luck pillar? 丑 is also known as the flying sword star as it clash the sword star 未, do you know how to use this star? In this case study, who won the duel?
His hurting officer 庚 2010 His Fan Power 寅 23 years old
when he won the award. The clash by 寅 on 申is what some masters would says is favorable called 沖旺 'Prosperous clash' if the hour pillar I work out from Da Liu Ren is correct and will however still makes sense if you check the ZWDS Chart right to the month and day he won the award. So have I confused you enough? Ha-ha, just kiddings.
Trust the Yi Jing to immediately come up with an inspiration after I complained today. The following episode reminds me of a many time makeover favorite chinese TV drama based on a chinese sword-fighting novel : 'The Return of the Condor Hero' and seeing it comes to Life on screen.
From Shanghai Post, Liu Wei had won the 'China Got Talent' award,
'Liu didn't put a foot, or a toe, wrong with an impeccable performance on the piano, and he was in fine voice, too, as he sang "You're Beautiful" to conquer the live audience and those watching at home.
Winning over the judges with his remark "at least I have a pair of perfect legs," Liu became the only finalist to move all three.' (This was in reply to when he was told by somebody that he is handicapped with missing arms when it comes to doing things.)
The following video is self-explanatory(no translations yet, my apologies) :
Ha-ha, well as they says: ' In Imperfections, then we Realised Perfections, the Yin and Yang'
Do you envy him, an before, handicapped but Now Superstar with his attitude in Life? Or shall we says he is truly a Master of his own Destiny...
Cheers.
'If you want to know your past - look into your present conditions. If you want to know your future - look into your present actions.'
Well, doesn't the above proverb sounds familiar, to change Destiny, we have to start with the word Self.
As usual, being bored with another new week and having lose my directions in Life and with nothing new to excite or put inspirations into my routine, and then a little voice inside my brain reminds me 'Remember when you complains about the lousy dinner you had the last time', our dear Mr. Yi Jing reminding me again.
So I thought I will share it here again for my readers who do not feel comfortable to come to my Facebook of the Change we need now when compared to those unfortunate ones when we carry on with our life this week like me, looking for a reason about life......
As it is the end of the month and also with weekend coming up, a song to prep up. Actually I had not thought of blogging till I saw some articles proclaiming the true magics or illusions of Chinese Metaphysics.
Apparently anyone can be a Master of Destiny but some however with disastrous consequences for those who thought they have found a Destiny Master while seeking fame and riches. This is a story of a couple of young people, one who was believed to have committed suicide after suddenly losing his fame and wealth.(probably also in debts)
Taken from wikipedia:
When Frank Farian developed the concept of Milli Vanilli, he chose to feature vocals by Charles Shaw, John Davis, Brad Howell, and twin sisters Jodie and Linda Rocco; however, he felt that those singers lacked a marketable image. He then recruited Robert Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan, two younger model/dancers he found dancing in a Tokyo dance club, to front the act. Milli Vanilli's debut album All or Nothing, was released in Europe in mid-1988, with Rob and Fab's pictures on the front and center of the albums, but no mention of who actually sang the songs.
The success of the record caught the attention of Arista Records who signed the duo. Arista deleted several tracks from the original album, added several new ones (including a new track written by Diane Warren, "Blame It on the Rain"), remixed many of the tracks and renamed the album to Girl You Know It's True for release in the American market in early 1989.
This version of the album went six times platinum and led to the re-release of the title track, which peaked at number 2 on the Hot 100 in April of that year and was certified platinum. (The song was a cover version of a Numarx track published in 1987 on the US Bluebird label.) The U.K. release featured the original first album and the remix album together as "2 X 2". Even greater commercial success followed, as the pair's next three singles "Baby Don't Forget My Number", "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" and "Blame It on the Rain" all reached number 1.
The first sign that the group was lip-sync-hing happened in late 1989 during a live performance on MTV at the Lake Compounce theme park in Bristol, Connecticut. As they performed onstage live in front of an audience, the recording of the song "Girl You Know It's True" jammed and began to skip, repeating the partial line "Girl, you know it's…" over and over on the speakers. They continued to pretend to sing and dance onstage for a few more moments, then they both ran offstage.
Farian confessed to reporters on November 12, 1990, that Morvan and Pilatus did not actually sing on the records. As a result of American media pressure, Milli Vanilli's Grammy was withdrawn four days later (however, their three American Music Awards were never withdrawn because the organizers felt the awards were given to them by music consumers).
After these details emerged, at least 26 different lawsuits[5] were filed under various U.S. consumer fraud protection laws[6] against Pilatus, Morvan and Arista Records.
For the American market, Farian chose to avoid any association to Milli Vanilli and had the tracks re-recorded with Ray Horton on the majority of lead vocals.
In order to restore their career, Farian agreed in 1997 to produce a new Milli Vanilli album with Morvan and Pilatus on lead vocals. This all led up to the recording of the 1998 Milli Vanilli comeback album Back and in Attack. Even some of the original studio singers backed the performers in their attempt to bring back some of the fame that had been shed so quickly. However, Rob Pilatus encountered a number of personal problems during the production of the new album. He turned to drugs and crime, committing a series of robberies and ultimately serving three months in jail in California. Farian paid for Pilatus to attend six months of drug rehabilitation and plane tickets for him to fly back to Germany. On the eve of the new album's promotional tour on April 2, 1998, Pilatus was found dead at the age of 32 in a Frankfurt hotel after ingesting a mixture of prescription pills and vodka, according to the Associated Press.
Ironically, during the Beijing Olympics, a similar incident of lip synching had happened as reported in The Telegraph. co UK.
'Chinese officials have admitted deceiving the public over another highlight of the Olympic opening ceremony: the picture-perfect schoolgirl who sang as the Chinese flag entered the stadium was performing to another girl's voice.

Both girls however gain fame overnight and the wrong act was correctly accredited to the Adults or Masters of Destiny in this case with no harms to both little girls.
Just my thoughts. Would Pilatus died if he had not become famous?
Well, you know it could be true, right? Cheers.
