Golden Secret Proses 金口诀



Well, let me wish all here an Early Happy Chinese New Year together with the Solar when the Rabbit will take over on the 4th February 2011. Thought I would like to share something new for you patient people who have been following me on the blog, here we go.....

Recently, in the Fivearts.net forum, there was a posting which reminds me of these verses of an ancient chinese art, 学会奇门遁,来人不用问,学会金口诀,能把万事说 meaning 'If you master Qi Men Dun Jia, you don't have to seek further, if you master Golden Secret Formula, you are able to foretell beyond all.'

It is actually refering to a refined version of Da Liu Ren 大六壬and which traditionally is only passed down orally and 12 years ago though, chinese books have started surfacing about it but as usual have missing parts. Anyway, to share with my readers here on this art, let me just give an example of an analysis.

In the Singapore Feng Shui Centre' s forum recently, there was a poster asking about Feng Shui involving spirits, This is part of the conversation:

I have a problem with a bad spirit that likes to come through my door to a common hallways with other units in a building.

I want to place a Pa Kua Mirror above my front door but all the web sites say never to use this in doors.

I was then looking at a Foo Dog Lion Door Knocker but I think the neighbors would not like that as it would not match the rest of the building's decor and I would be asked to remove it by the management.

I have Foo Dogs at the back door that works good and the neighbors cannot see them so no problems.


So what to do about the front door??
------------------------------------------------

In My Mind.
As usual, no directions of the property is mentioned and as this involves a spiritual problem so the next thing to do as a practitioner is to check using I Ching poker cards divination, tarot cards divination, Qi Men Dun Jia, Da Liu Ren or other divinations method to find out more. Based on the time above posted above, using this so called Golden Secret Verse, the following chart was derived:

      岁破:申  丧吊:辰子 月破:午


        择马:寅  桃花:卯  游都:寅

        生气:戌  天医:申  地医:寅  天鸡:酉

        天马:午  禄神:巳  羊刃:午




       人元: 辛 

       贵神: 壬辰(勾辰) 

       将神: 戊子(神后) 用神

       地分: ?


四大空亡:甲寅旬 金空亡
The Four Big Void
Metal is Void in this chart.

It shows 将神 The Month General as 神后 the Celestial Empress which reflects spiritual involvement at property. In the original text, there is a verse where it indicated when you meet this 神后 in this situation, it could implied a spirit vying for use of the premises.Next the 贵神 The Influencing God is 勾辰 the Worm position at Chen Earthly branch with implications of property too. As it confirmed that this is a genuine poster, I had then carried on with the posting a reply. I had to established what is the property sitting and facing direction by asking the following questions as the Worm was located at the Chen(South East) Earthly Branch position which is opposite the Xu (North West)position which is Metal in Void in the above chart.

Hi Chomot,

Just out of curiosity, is your main door located in the NW sector?

Till-then, cheers.

The following is the answer.....

I have children and a cat that get all weird when they sense something around and the kids have told me that they see things sometimes. So I want to secure the appt from sprits so we do not have this problem anymore.

This URL is of the complex.

My unit is in the building directly to the right of the words dueling grounds and all those trees are actually a cliff. It is on the third floor with the rear door to a small patio facing Port Imperial Blvd. The only entrance is to the hall facing to the river. The hallway runs down the middle of the building and there is a neighbor directly across from my door.


Hallway

Road

We have been here about 2.5 years now and have had issues all this time off and on but now there is one spirit that just does not seem to want to go away like all the others do. So I want to help him leave.

I have foo dogs outside the back door to the patio and I was thinking of a foo dog doorknocker for the front door but as I mentioned I may run up against the management on that one.

Any suggestions? I am also open to any other good ideas for how best to make harmony and prosparity here.

Thanks for the help, Cheers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------END


For the rest, if you are curious to know more, please go to that forum as I just wanted to explain what is this so called Secret Golden Proses.

Anyway, I thought I was wrong as the member had indicated his front and back door as his diagram above with a google attachment. However, looking at the map, the following is what I got:



You can click two times on the picture to establish the axis line as it should be sitting on the Void between Northwest and West, the doors are correct for his unit with main at North East and the back door at South West. As have been said, this is just an example on the usage of this art and not necessary applicable for every case as it still involves intuition, another word for divination or talking to the Gods, ha-ha....

For those interested in knowing more, you can try to get some books or google the Internet for more information. It was supposed to be an easier art to learn than Da Liu Ren accordingly but to me, it is still a pain to memorises all the golden verses if to be proficient in it.

Till-then, cheers and have a great year ahead if last year was a shitty one....

The Way of the Dragon



Its Dragon's Time!

猛龍過江

The above chinese words can also be read as The Return of the Dragon too. It was the title of a famous movie by the late kung fu actor, Bruce Lee, a blockbuster. Obviously, most of his movies uses the name of the Dragon or he was fascinated by it apart from his name which means Little Dragon. 

Okay, due to a email question from my persistent chinese ethusisast about the above words today, I decided to give you a  reply and edit my post now, Argggh....

15th December 2010

Mr. X: ' The words can also means 'Fierce Dragon Crossing the River or Lake?'

Hey, come on X, you dun expect me to write everything down right as it is the Chinese Whispers. This is a hidden meanings which you manage to grasp, my congratulations as it refers to the Tai Chi Tu or Ba Gua where the number 5 is Void as the Bagua have 8 number only. In Xuan Kong Da Gua, it would means the Dragon crossing from The Upper Era to the Lower Era, Got it?




My apologies, as you can see above, I have delete all the mails except your which I happened to read first and the reason why I have disable the comments for my blog. My further apologies to all as it is Seasons holidays, I would not be replying to any questions but no worry, there are still a lot of experts around elsewhere on the Net, please forward your enquiries to them. :  )

I will be BACK next Year!!!

Okay, Tea break over......
Some Heavy Stuffs today, as I have said before, if you happens to come on by here, please have some basic metaphysics knowledge, if not, please get out to avoid wasting your time reading about my crappings.

Interestingly, in Feng Shui, we have an important old classic line about this elusive Dragon by the Grandmaster Yang Yun Song,  先看金龍動不動,次察血脈認來龍, meaning See whether the Golden Dragon moves or not, verify the veins for the real Dragon.

Now why this Dragon is called Gold and not by some other names such as Water, Wood, Fire and Earth of the five elements of Chinese metaphysics. A Flying Stars Feng Shui practitioner must know this to know the essence of the Flying Stars for Feng Shui.

'此行于十一月十五日养吾由上海动身,家父乘民船,与先祖父灵柩,山横林启硅,相约于南方泉王明卿先生处会晤,是日风平天晴,于午后五时,相互到达,翌日伴同家父上山,家君步力尚佳,年虽七十有三,养吾已五十有一,彼此欣然而行,家君对此地极为满意,外堂开展,内堂蓄聚,虽穴情似有研求,而弦口清晰,中现微突,即于此鸠工开圹,初开动时略有斟酌,深约四尺,见土色紧润,色泽而有紫嫣,知穴矣,遂于是月十七壬辰日申时登穴,立子午兼癸丁,先祖系道光八年戊子生,今为辰日申时,可称三元齐合,亦天缘也。先祖母王太夫人已于壬申年冬,安葬于无锡西乡山地十五亩半,今与先祖墓地,遥遥相对,相去不过数十里,交通尚称便捷,春秋扫墓,即可竣事,(今按家君意,拟定明年已丑,将先祖母田华藏合兆于此,)当日即将墓碑封好,内地尚属不靖,幸有王明卿先生及何鸿 等,整日照料,得以安度,心甚感激,是年七月二十八,家母黄太夫人弃养,寿享古稀,本拟同葬于此,因地势太小,只得另觅吉壤,再行新扦矣,十九日与家君同行回锡,家君乘轮回乡,养吾则乘火车回申,此事为入土为安计,未加工程,所费不过二百五六十元,(后加工筑罗城又费五六百元)山地五分,计一百二十元,事已告成,家君可以放心,濡笔记之, 以资不忘。

道玄的思考:第一,谈氏家族在当时的战乱年代,仍然有财力觅地葬山,可见他的父祖辈多少有点财富,

在当时的百性而言,谈氏家族可谓大富之族了。但经过谈大师改坟迁葬后,竟然连谈大师皆不知所终,其家族后人如何也不得而知,不知网上各位大师有无谈大师后人的资料,能否提供参考。


第二,谈大师在年五十有一的丰富人生阅历中自我迁葬,记述其自家的祖地,竟然没有来龙、水口等重大事项。


第三, 当然谈氏家族会祸难当了。这就是我为什么说谈氏卦理符合经旨,一到入用就变调了的原因。

谈大师年五十有一迁坟时,为一九四八戊子年,二元八运为四运的第十八年,其理同.'


Part of the above chinese article is taken from a Chinese Feng Shui master in showing a case study on Master Tan Yang Wu who popularise the Xuan Kong Liu Fa 玄空六法 and gave up on the popular Flying Stars technique and wrote the book 玄空本义 after learning it from a Taoist Master Lee Qian Xu in the summer of 1929 and denounce Shen Zu Reng' s Flying Stars Feng Shui which then opens another new dimensions for metaphysics lovers. Here the writer explains his findings that in 1948, after Master Tan Yang Wu relocated his ancestral Ying Feng Shui  based on Two Era, Eight periods of Time in Xuan Kong Liu Fa for the Fourth period in the eighteen years of the Dui Trigram using this method. This was done during World War 2 and to be able to do it, the family must be well-off or wealthy. However, sadly as the writer who have taken the trouble to research and check on Master Tan Yang Wu' s audit of the newer Ancestral tomb and see the consequences that the late master's descendants have completely disappeared which contradicts the Liu Fa techniques that Master Tan have advocated and he had hoped that any of the present late master's descendants who come across his article can verify with him on their fortunes.

Now I am not here to critisize on different schools of thought, just that I find it amusing. It is with interest that I am writing about this is because this event happens during Age 5 for Flying Stars Fengshui in 1948. Shen Zu Reng' s Flying stars techniques uses the San Yuan Nine Yun or Three Era, Nine Periods of 20 years to measure time. Now most of you knows that for Age 8 now, sector Gen Gua Star 8 is the Zheng Sheng 正神, the Ruling Star for the period and the opposite sector Kun Gua Star 2 where star 5 the Dragon is the Ling Sheng 零神. Ling Sheng means Void sector which wants to be filled up with Yang energy so the saying that it is good to have water or activities in that sector. So in Age 5 where Star 5 The Dragon did not go Missing but Return to the centre of the Luo Shu Square, some present day masters advocate Star 4 as the Zheng Sheng, the Ruling Star and Star 6 as the Ling Shen for the first ten years and vice versa for the second ten years in their teachings. Another school of thoughts advocates using Star 2 as the Ruling Star for Zheng Sheng and Star 8 for Ling Sheng for the first ten years and vice versa for the next ten years of the 20 years period. So who is right or wrong? That is to say that either Star 2, 8, or 4 and 6 would have extra 10 years each, doesn't it sound not so perfect for measuring time? And interestingly, the Water star 5 in the birth chart of the property cannot have water but the Star 5 in the age of the Ruling star in the Luo Shu Square must have water or Yang energy for Flying star or Liu Fa (The Golden Dragon for Liu Fa is in the North East or Gen Gua for this period which is the difference for the two schools of thought). If you can understand this, you would have taken another step forward to understanding Flying Stars.

Now for Xuan Kong Liu Fa, the above chinese writer have already mentioned that in 1948, Master Tan Yang Wu who knows part of the Shen' s flying stars technique is most likely to have use the Trigram school of measuring time using the yaos and relocated his family ancestral tomb, yet accordingly have bear no fruits for his descendants. If the time measurement is incorrect, it would also means the date selection for the new location of the ancestral tomb would also be wrong. The positioning of the Tomb would also have to be timely.The above writer stated that he is keen to locate anyone related to Master Tan Yang Wu to verify his findings.

Now, now, don't panic, for those of you using Flying stars technique, it is still safe as Age 5 would still be at least another 100 years away. But if you would like to have great great grand children enjoying great fortune 100 years later, could help to do some research or find out from those who know. Actually the answer is in the meaning of the Golden Dragon or Star 5. It would also helps in understanding on how to Fly with the Stars. : )

Seasons Greetings to all who happens to pass by here.

For Emperor Only

It amuses me that a few years back, a friend of mine had attended a Chinese Metaphysics course called Qi Men Dun Jia 奇门遁甲. Having paid about US$1500 and despite after spending 2 full days learning it from that Master and only manages to know how to plot the charts and that it is to pick a good direction to do important things such as looking for a doctor, going for a job interviews, etc. That friend have to pay another US$100 for the course book in English where I was given a copy to discuss with him as he was still unclear about some of the jargon and I had not thought highly of the book then. Later on, I had also came across a series of books written in English about this art also costing about 800 Euro dollars. At the moment, this secretive art is still being taught for about US$1000 at least by some Masters. If that friend of mine today happens to come onto this new book written by Calvin Yap, I guess he would be fuming mad as this book explained and teaches it more clearly that a beginner would have no problem understanding the concept. There are even several case studies to show how it works if you still don't get it end of the day.



Now I have put a link here for those of you interested as it is priced reasonably as you can see here. In the past in Feudal China, this art is to be used by the Emperor only and is not accessible to the common people. I was initially skeptical because the book was priced too low as there are no other books on this art apart from those written in Chinese. To my surprise, after reading it, the author had shared almost all that you can know about this art. The meaning of the chinese words 奇门遁甲 is Mysterious Door Hide Jia which is to protect leader(Jia) in one of the Eight Doors as probably in the past, it was mainly used for warfare and not meant for the common people. It was believed that Mao Zedong uses it to defeat the Kuomintang Army which has more soldiers and well-equipped and supported by the Western world who don't want to see a Communist country. For those of you who hates plotting chart, no worry, just copy the chinese words 奇门遁甲在线排盘系统 and google search and you will get a free software to help you plot it. You can then start having fun and testing it out on your career or romance and so forth. I do not want to spoil your fun by telling you more, so enjoy the book.

Taken from part of an article by Joey Yap about Qi Men Dun Jia:

'Now, if you are a Feng Shui enthusiast, you may have heard of Qi Men. You may even have heard that it has certain ‘occult’ elements to it, or that it is so powerful that it can enable a person to escape fate and destiny. Some books and Chinese Metaphysics teachers go so far as to claim that Qi Men can change matters of life and death. Some people even say that Qi Men is not a ‘legit’ field of Chinese Metaphysics because it can be used for illegal acts such as killing someone and getting away with it....'

Till-then, cheers. I will come back on Face readings another day.

Qi Men Dun Jia was used by a war strategist Chu Ke Liang in this part of the Warring States History of China in this movie.

Chinese Physiognomy


Now if you are wondering what is Jackie Chan, the actor doing here? Well, it is to explain that in chinese physiognomy for ladies, don't worry if you have a nose like his, in fact it is auspicious as the nose apart from being the wealth palace is also the spouse star for females. A nose like that would means you would get a good husband in the old chinese thought. Pert and shapely noses as you can see from the faces of supermodel and actresses are associated in the past with chinese opera female performers who ultimately ends up as being the second wife or concubine of the Rich. The position is at 45 to 48, however it must be balanced with the rest of the face, does not means that big nose will be good. As have been mentioned in the earlier post, the nose represent the Wealth palace for all. Importantly, the nose must not be crooked and should be fleshy and strong looking. There should not be any mark or mole on it. The tip of the nose should be round, no 48 position like the above picture. There should not be any scar on it. Surprisingly, moles generally not considered positive but if found just below the nose by the side above the upper lip is considered good as it mean locking the wealth into the nostrils, to be able to accumulate wealth. People with this feature normally have substantial savings in bank. You can try confirming it by hinting to people diplomatically when you see this feature with :' Oh you look like the types who are able to plan well for finance...'

The reasons I have chosen to discuss these palaces together, the travelling palace, career, life palace and parent palace is that it is to be read all together, it will determine the person's wealth or career more clearly as for face reading, it is not enough just by looking at one palace alone.

The siblings palace is represented by both eyebrows, if the length of the eyebrows is longer than the eyes, it would normally denotes big family with 3 siblings onwards.If it is bushier and unifom in growth, then it would
means that the siblings get along well together and help each other. If the right eyebrow (female siblings) and left eyebrow (male siblings) are messy and not uniformly, it would means they don't get along well together. Marks or breaks in the eyebrows would also denote health problems or mishaps for the sibling depending on which eyebrow. The other aspects to be read is with the Parents palace distance from the eyebrows, if one eyebrow is higher than the other or what we will call Ying Yang eyebrows which means this person probably have half siblings from a stepmother or stepfather. The position of the ears with the position of the Parents palace if are not uniform or as mentioned, one higher or lower will also indicates this possibility of half siblings.

The tips of the eyes at the position 39 is considered the Marriage palace, left representing guys and right for ladies on the relevant palace as with the chinese principle. As with Jackie Chan, the tip of his eyes have what you can call fish tails or Peach Blossom lines on his right eye representing the wife which indicates flamboyance and showbiz talents. Coincidentally his wife was also a famous chinese actress, Lin Feng Chiao in retirement after marriage. As from the strong lines at the tips of the right eye, it indicates he respect his wife alot and they get along well.

Okay, I got to go now as I have an appointment. Would try to find time to come back and continue later.

Till-then, cheers.

Face Reading


Okay, let' s continue, the numbers above denotes the age of a person's life. We can also use it separately to point out the twelve palace mentioned in the earlier post. Now we will look at three of the palaces together,
The travelling horses or  遷移 Travel palace, position 23 and 24, the Career Palace事業, position 15 to 25 and the Life palace命宮, no 28.


As in the above picture, at position 23 and 24 would means this person is mobile and suitable for jobs which requires frequent travels and would have no problem in starting a new life in away from his hometown. If this two position is dark or scarred or with a mole, then one would have to be mindful while travelling as it could denotes mishaps or unsuccessful business trips. If this two positions are low as the below picture, then he is more suited for a stable and desk-bound jobs.


Similarly for the Career palace at the positions from 15 o 25, if it is high and broad with at least 5 fingers wide from position 15 straight down to 25, the person is normally not the shy type and can be suitable for jobs such as from a showroom salesman to being a CEO. The low forehead type are normally more suited for behind the scene jobs and not being in the limelight. You should also look from the side of the face forehead to analyse further whether it protrudes which will indicate a thinker or the forehead which slanted backward and would means this is a guy who will act first without doing thinking. Lastly, the most important Life palace at position 28 would need to be at least two finger wide between the two eyebrows and should not have any marks or mole on it as it normally denotes an unhappy life with financial hardships. If it is less then two fingers, it would normally means that the person is stressful and paranoid even if well-off, spending most of the time being pressurised by his own dissatisfactions after achieving whatever he wants. Any line on this area is also not a good omen indicating possible financial disasters. This three areas should be not be dark or have any indentations, you might then in your mind wonder: what about races who are dark, ah, then we would want to see these areas glows or shiny in comparison with the rest.

Anyway, these are just general guidelines for the Chinese face reading techniques and would still have to read in line with the rest of the face aspects as a whole to get a complete Picture. Okay, I am bored and would be back again.

Till-then, cheers.

Some music to wind down the week.

Give me some Face, ok?



Ha-ha, the above title is a local lingo translated from chinese meaning give me some respect.Thought I would start writing a series of Face Reading as I can't think of any opinion to share at the moment. So here we goes.....

It is logical that a person's appearance as well as face plays a part in Destiny. E.g. If a very rich person likes your face, you would then have met your benefactor or to put it simple, if you go for a job interview and the person in charge likes your face, you stand a better chance when there is a choice to be made between you and another who have the same qualifications. Anyway, lets look at other aspects first as in the picture above, the thirteen palaces translated as in below:

1)父母- Parent Palace
2)遷移 Travel
3)福德  Virtue or Satisfaction
4)兄弟 Siblings (This is located on the eyebrow itself)
5)田宅 Property
6)事業 Career
7)命宮 Life
8)夫妻 Spouse
9)病厄 Health
10)子女 Children
11)財帛Wealth
12)交友Friends or Junior Staff
13)小人People who will creates problem in your life

1)父母- Parent Palace normally refer to the affinity between a person and the father父(Left) or Mother母(Right). It is also known as the Sun and Moon position. Scars or dent on this positions indicate poor affinity or relationships with parents. If the blood vein in that position is thick and highly visible could means the father or the mother would face hardship in the later part of their lives.

Okay, this will do for the moment. Will be back to explain further on the palaces on how to do the readings. Knowing some general face reading techniques help in doing face to face bazi or zwds readings. Have a great weekend with Kitaro' s Silk Road.
