Hi Everyone, I feel that this message provides an inspiration to all of us. In some of the stories, "It is like `after the bitterness, comes the sweetness'..." I am not sure who wrote this but here goes:- --- Start ---- *First ~ Most Important Lesson During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello.'" "I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy. *Second Important Lesson ~ Pickup in the Rain One night, at 11:30 PM, an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others." Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole. *Third Important Lesson ~ Always remember those who serve you In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied." The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies - You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip. *Fourth Important Lesson ~ The Obstacle in Our Path In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the King's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, But none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition. *Fifth Important Lesson ~ Giving When it Counts Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save her.." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?" Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her. You see understanding and attitude, after all, is everything. --- End ---

Dear Kathleen, I have mentioned several formulas in my Applied Feng Shui book on manual calculations. A faster more accurate method is simply to go to: 1. http://www.geomancy-online.com and create a free Eight House Report. 2. Or simply goto: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm and under one of the steps select the date of birth to generate the Eight house chart. Please see below:- Under `good' Feng Shui practises: 1. Priority should go to placing the desk to benefit from good Shapes and Form Feng Shui. Here, the desk should be place where possible against a solid support e.g. a wall or alternativly against a partition and others such as the desk in relation to the office door... 2. Only after doing the above, then place the table (if possible) at your good sector i.e. intangible force. 3. If you still have the luxury, place the table facing a good direction. For example if East is your prosperity sector, then place the table facing `East' bearing in mind Para 1 and 2. This is based on Japanese beliefs. Here, one buys a pair of the cat. Where for each cat, a paw is raised e.g. right paw and left paw. These dwell more on beliefs then Feng Shui. Many books are available on Shapes and Form and those on more specialised form of Feng Shui e.g. Flying Star are either difficult to understand or quite general. Ultimately, it is my belief that one should combine the best of all available FS theories as none of them are superior than the other. Instead, selective FS theories and include Pillars of Destiny need to be used. It is not the amount of information that we obtain that provides good result but rather the end result is based on the ability to `summarise' and interpret the data and the secret ingredient is proper implementation of it. Many people, face the problem of using piecemeal FS theories and go into a vicious cycle when things don't turn out. Alternatively, if one has the opportunity to consult a good FS practitioner, this would be better. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Deborah, It would be nice if you can draw a sketch or use a paint program to draw and save as a .jpg or .bmp or .gif:- 1. A sketch of the house (if possible, proportionate such as where is the main entrance and the T junction) and roughly can see the distance of the ancient well and how far it is to the house i.e to the right, left or centre?. Roughly how deep it is. I hope you can understand that without a clear look at the outline such as the impact on the main door, any gradient. (I hope I am not asking too much but if it is not a sketch, it can be alternatively pictures). Apologise, if I asked too much. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chrinstine, Many thanks for posting the three pictures. I now can better understand from the pictures: 1. The plot of land where your neighour's house is (i.e. behind your house) has sha qi. 2. As for your house, once, the neighbour's house is up and you have a fence, it will be shielded from the sha qi of the `T' junction. 3. I understand from the picture that there are no trees (as this is a new plot of land). Currently with no trees, the land has sha qi from exposed `wind'. I believe, as more trees are ground around the estate it would be ok. 4. Under Shapes and Form of Feng Shui:- 4.1 A single house should not be surrounded i.e. an `island' of roads on all four sides. But for the twin house (with two houses on each side of the road), it is still acceptable. 4.2 I noticed that the land is relatively flat the plus point is this is a rather "straight forward" area where as I mentioned above, grass, plants and trees, later on would be good. On the whole, I believe, it would relieve you of your fears of the `sha qi' from the opposite side of the `T' junction. In my opinion, I consider this house, an average plot. In Feng Shui, most of the time we look at the dragon vein and check to see whether a location or estate, can accumulate wealth (overall) for the neighbourhood. This is more for those who are buying new plot of land or already built up housing. This accumulation of `wealth' is symbolic of some of the houses that I mentioned under conference: Photo Tour of Interest such as the Meyer and Sterling. (However, these are condominiums but are similiar in analysis whilst these are analysed on a vertical spectrum, landed property are analysed on a horizontal spectrum - Shapes and Form). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In several past messages and in my Applied Feng Shui book, I mentioned several "methods" used such as by: 1. Shape of the Fish Tank 2. Number of fishes i.e. based on Kua or Yin and Yang (even or odd number of fishes) 3. Type of fishes etc.. 4. Color of the stand used at different sections of the home Thus, I would like to clarify that usually, I do not `advise' but rather highlight the various practises such as no. of fishes used either to relate to a person's Kua number. There are `pro and cons' in using various methods. For the no. of fishes, I had on a few occasions mentioned what happened if one's Kua number is 1. Does it mean that one has to resort to the `fate' of rearing only one fish. In Feng Shui, if fishes suddenly die in succession, in a some of the replies I mentioned the `routine' of adding fishes (staggered) at a time. Overall, it is nice to understand that the rearing of fishes can be related to one's Kua number but is difficult to monitor or implement. 2. Thus, it would be best to use commonsense i.e. see how big the fish tank is and buy or replenish a reasonable number of fishes will do. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, What you mentioned would depend on a person's belief or religious belief and how strong is one's belief. For example, when you mentioned `killing' of animals, and one has strong buddhist beliefs, then one should avoid what you had mentioned below. Even in other religions like Muslims, they also have a ritual for `praying' before slaughtering animals. Muslims only eat food that are certified "Halal" in this manner. Therefore, it depends on how `strong' is your beliefs. Most of the time, nowadays maybe because of convenience, animals are pre slaughtered and we buy them, cleaned and `ready' so this should not be a major issue or concern for us. Some religions belief in reincarnation and "we may end up" reincarnated as a specific animaal or insect. This is up to indiviudal beliefs. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Colleen, 1. Yes, it is not adviseable to keep fishes in the bedroom. 2. To answer your question as to where to keep fishes, usually, this is looked into in relation to a person's (especially the breadwinner's Ba Zhi) and cross referenced to the Flying Star of each sector. For example, if the breadwinner's Ba Zhi is weak fire, it is best to avoid having a water position in the house. 3. Another area we look at is the Flying Star of each sector. Some sectors may be out of balance and adding water may cause further imbalances. 4. Well not to `scare' you in anyway but one can rely on instincts if Para 2 is not followed i.e. find a location which one feels comfortable about. 5. In general, the Chinese like number 8 especially the Cantonese which means `prosperity' and 9 represents longevity. Some people are concerned with the number of fishes reared especially if it taken to represent each element. 6. Other consideration include the shape of the fish tank, the color of the support stand etc... If you search past messages about Fish tank, I have mentioned in detail some of the above information, which I have not elaborated here. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Christine, If you have a sketch drawn; of the proposed house with roads and other features such as the surrounding i.e. are there greenery, is there a slope etc.. would be better as it is difficult to comment without all these inputs. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jeffery, To better understand your situation, appreciate if could elaborate: 1. When you stand at the main entrance facing outwards, do you see the bamboo sticks aimed directly at your main entrance? 2. If the bamboo sticks are "aimed" at your main entrance, are the ends aimed at your home or are they vertical? Like flag poles? 3. Are the bamboo sticks aiming from the side towards the main entrance as opposed to aiming directly? 4. What is the distance between the bamboo poles to your main entrance. Regards, Cecil

Dear Silk, Please see below:- ----- Original Message ----- From: "free-advice Listmanager" To: Sent: Monday, August 14, 2000 7:13 AM Subject: Eight House Query In general, the Eight House Theory looks at: 1. How suitable a person is to the house. 2. Areas where one spent time at should preferably be a good sector for the person. As far as the Eight House theory is concerned, (other than the main entrance door sector which in this case, is not a suitable house for you). You should also look at the intangible force at the bedroom area. Other than the above, it is difficult to neutralise any intangible force based on this theory. In traditional FS, we can use Flying Star to neutralise or activate a sector instead. Normally, Shapes and Form is used to find a suitable placing of the bed in a room and Flying Star is used in neutralise or `activate ' the sector (this depends on individual house birth chart). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Daniel, In my opinion, Lilian Too is more of an author than a practitioner. Her strengths are her ability is to use illustrations and words to create a better understanding. In my honest opinion, you have to weigh the decision to attend the conference based on:- 1. the price of the conference, 2. take a look at the conference materials and time factor i.e. Is the course catered more to appreciate general `Feng Shui' or is it tailored for the `practitioner'? Or to obtain a FS certificate. 3. Are there any other "hidden costs" other than paying for the conference. Such as cross-selling i.e. are we paying for the full course or may end up having to pay more e.g. during the conference `cross-selling' of books (are they provided) and others e.g. encouraged to purchase of her Feng Shui jewellery 4. Check that the course does not dwel on `Eight Associations / Eight Aspriations' e.g. enhancing SW for Romance, North for Career. Rather, if the course / conference is based on `solid' foundations of the Five Elements, this would be good. if the topic is too general, it is less useful. I hope everyone can understand that the above is based frankly on my honest opinion by examing the above questions and then weighing the pros and cons. In the final analysis, it is entirely left to each of us to form own opinions of what is value or benefit for ourselves.

Dear Anon, Quite recently, there was a news article on divorce in China. The main cause of what I read was that the men in China are getting more `well off' and some of these men engaged in illict affairs. Usually, the women are more forgiving but usually it is the men who initiated the divorce. Divorce is indeed an `ugly' word all over the world. It leaves a scar on the innocent child or children. Yes, based on what I read, divorce is gaining a foothold and increasingly place an impact on the family unit in China. Usually, the poor wife has difficulty getting child support and may need to work to raise their child in China or she may instead get support from her close relatives. In most cases, the wife gets custody of the child as the spouse sets off to `start' another family in China. Warmest Regards, Cecil wrote in message news:6705.3191@forum.geomancy.net...

Dear Anon, I have attached a simple sketch showing in RED, the best areas for activating a mountain stair if it is present. As mentioned earlier, each house is different in layout and in some houses, the back door can be at the kitchen while for others, it is a standalone passage way. The best method is to clearly understand the concept that the mountain star is to enhance the `solid-backing' and not to hinder the frontage by blocking it. Thus for the frontage, it is often suggested that water or clear space is ideal. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In the past, before the communist rule in China, arranged marriages are common. But for the Chinese, arranged marriages are usually between young children and not to elderly grand fathers. The exception is during the dynasty periods e.g. Ching, Ming dyansties where the emperor has many concubines. Today, there are fewer arranged marriages in China. And more parents have taken a modern approach in letting their children choose a partner. One interesting thing to note is that if one looks at the population profile of China especially those below 25 years old, one can see a noticable imbalance i.e. that there are more Males than Females in the population. This is most probably attributed to the one child policy and many Chinese want a male child. Thus it would be harder for Chinese girls to get married. This may account for them wanting to marry overseas Chinese. Perhaps, the overseas Chinese are more well off and they have a chance to migrate with their husband for a `better' life. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, this has more to do with `beliefs' than Feng Shui. 2. However, if we look at some Chinese `beliefs', the Chinese favour `pairs' rather than a single object. 3. I am not sure how magical a Dragon Horse figurine or statue can be, but as you have mentioned, may use one or from the opinion of others two `Dragon Horse' may not necessary make any difference in our wealth. Well no harm to place 1 or a pair (2). Warmest Regards Cecil

Dear Anon, I am very glad you brought up this question. 1. I feel that it is quite `dangerous' to talk about Feng Shui issues without looking at the specific situation and layout plan. 2. As we all know, each home has a different layout plan and this is why this may lead to confusion. 3. Lets go back to the fundamentals of one of the FS concepts: The four symbolic animals concept where the frontage of the house should have clear space and the back `solid backing'. Frontage of the house (Clear Space) e.g. activating water star -------------------- -------------------- Back of the house (Solid back) e.g. activating mountain star 4. For those who are new and not sure what this means please refer to this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/four.htm 5. In the illustration, for example, water implies flatness and a water position usually means `clear space'. 6. The tortise in under the above URL at Para 4 represents a solid backing. 7. Here, one can then truly understand that it is most effective to activate a mountain star at the `back' of the house. For example, at the back door or at a wall at the back of the house. Thus, depending on one's house layout, a kitchen may be at the back of the house or the dining room with part of the wall at the back of the wall. If this is so, activating a mountain star would be effective. But, if the kitchen is at the front or next to the main entrance, it is not adviseable to activate the mountain star. 8. I hope all of us get the correct picture that each house layout differs and it is always best to activate a mountain star with the hope that it provides a `soild backing'. 9. Similiarly, if we look at a room in a house, we can follow the above concept and apply the mountain star at a wall usually diagionally opposite the door. (We have to look at each room closely). In Flying Star theory, we can also call this concept: Sitting (Mountain) and Facing (Frontage). 10. One can also as mentioned under Para 9 and further compartmentalise a room and activate a mountain star (provided it is present) based on the above. Hope the above helps. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Denise, 1. The main `concern' in Feng Shui is that it is inauspicious to let the toilet bowl face a location e.g. it can be the dining room table etc... 2. Thus based on the concept " If one cannot see the poison arrow or in this case Sha Qi, it no longer becomes a threat. 3. Therefore, normally closing the toilet door would do. You can consider, the rest of the things you mentioned as `luxuries' i.e. not compulsory to do such as keeping the lid down. 4. In my opinion, it is not adviseable to place a full length mirror unless one looks closely at that specific sector. As a mirror is considered able to reflect or `double' the bad luck if that sector is not auspicious. I feel that keeping the toilet door closed is sufficient for such a situation. 5. The other thing to look out is the placement of the toilet. Ideally, the toilet should share one external wall of the house thus ensuring that it is not at the centrepoint of the house. Other considerations like compass direction of the toilet is important and this has to be looked at in a holistic way such as doing a full FS audit.

Dear Elkay, 1. I have `cut-paste' this message which was a recent reply under the forum topic: " Feng Shui for Business ". 2. Feng Shui cannot be seen as a `cure all'. If there are better `tools' or `concepts' e.g. methology in teaching, this would prevail over the use of "Feng Shui". And even give a quantum leap, where Feng Shui cannot fully achieve. It is the same as using specialised tool for a specific activity. For example, if we want to cut an apple in half, we use a knife instead of using another tool such as a screw driver or even a scissor to cut the apple. Thus, using the right tool for the right occassion is a much sensible idea than just simply using the wrong tools and be under the "mercy" of hope, hope and more hope... Warmest Regards, Cecil ----- An early reply to a similiar question as yours ------ Dear Kari, In my opinion, as much as Feng Shui is `interesting' it can't do more than it's purpose. For a School, usually, it has to be looked at not only from the perspective of Feng Shui but common sense. Most Schools if possible try to be sited or located in a quieter environment. For example, if the school is in a city, usually the classrooms are furthest away from the traffic. Such as having open ground or in my country, mini hills (especially if the classroom) is close to the road. In your situation, it is more the way the subject is taught (i.e. in a `interesting' or allow for greater participation - depending on the topic). Thus, what I feel is that rather than finding a `Feng Shui' model, the methology of teaching in an interesting way, would best suit the situation. Feng Shui, in my opinion, cannot be considered as a 1001 all purpose enhancer but rather, is limited by what it can and cannot do. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Huu, 1. The first priority when using the Flying Star Feng Shui is to check for imbalances and there is, you need to neutralise it first. 2. Only after you have `done' Para 1, then you should consider looking at `activating' the mountain star. Thus, there are no fixed `rule' as to the object used. Under Flying Star, and `activating' the mountain star, thus, one should use an object with `mass'. Where one uses a object with mass, one must remember to take not of any imbalance caused at that sector FIRST and the type of element that could create `further imbalance. For example, if the sector has a bad #2 or #5, it would not be "wise" to use an earth object e.g. generally, e.g. a stone. As this would further cause an imbalance. 3. Usually, the mountain star is effective in a room or the backdoor and could provide `false' hope or similar to `fools gold' that it can be effective in the living room. Thus, if it is in a room, and with a high wall or `supported' by a wall this would be acceptable. 4. You mentioned that the mountar star falls partially in a bedroom and the dining room, it may be more difficult to activate. For the dining room, it is quite similar to the living room and at the centre area, clear space would be better. Based on your brief description, it is difficult to `activate' the mountain star. But if you want, you can activate it in the bedroom area but be careful, that it does not case a `danger' should it fall off. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Elena, In the living room, it is ideal to activate water star than mountain star. Water star, as the name suggests implies clear space and thus, ideally, when one stands around the living room one should have a clear view of all areas of the room. Water star (clear space) is the opposite of mountain star. In addition, some people who are not aware, even may try to activate a mountain star at their front door! Here, it is like placing an `obstruction' at the front entrance. Usually, some portions of the living room has either windows or glass panels and large open area (which suits water star). One can still activate mountain star e.g. a painting in the living room e.g. on the wall opposite the rooms and not on a wall with the wall next to the open space. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Colleen, 1. The report says that a mountain star can be activated if it is at the backdoor area or in a room. 2. It should not be activated at the front entrance or in the living room. 3. It can be activated e.g. if there is a shelf and behind it is a wall. The wall (would suggest) that it is acts as a "mountain". 4. Objects used to activate the mountain star can be decorative items (available in the home). It must satisfy the condition that it is an object with mass and immovable i.e. without wheels. A good example is a paper-weight such as a stone carving e.g. of a tortise. It can be other objects such as a solid crystal display or a rock carving. (Avoid hollow objects). 5. If the location has a window, it is best not to activate the mountain star such as hanging an object as at such positions, it is difficult to activate the mountain star. Warmest Regards, Cecil Dear Cecil and Robert, I did send you an e-mail yesterday but I am not sure if you got it. I would like to request a free home audit on hardship and financial grounds. My husband is in China at the moment trying to earn some money and I am in London with my two young children, facing financial hardship and terrible bad luck and fortune. Since my husband has been away, the builders have been working on my next door neighbours house, to rectify the subsidence. They went through a main water pipe and cut me off of water for three days. When I got my water back, my son went with down a severe stomach bug, leading to him having to go to hospital for dehydration. I got a terrible cold virus and my daughter then went down with the stomach virus. Then I thought we were getting clear, now my son had a terrible allergy rash on his legs and is still having stomach pains. My toilet has been blocked for two days and I had it mended today, paying out more money which I can't afford and now the plumber and builders tell me that we probably have rats in the shed adjacent to my house, in the back yard. I am at my wits end, please help turn myself and my family around, if you can. I would be more grateful, Warmest regards, to you both, Colleen

This is a picture of the hungry ghost activity as narated in the two articles. It shows a make-shift tent for the festival and close-by a public housing flat known as Housing Board Flats commonly found in Singapore. Many Singaporeans, I believe, 90 percent of the entire population lives in such `common' flats. Warmest Regards, Cecil

This year (2000), the hungry ghost period is from 31 July to 28 August. In my country, you will find out that `celebrations' at void decks especially close to public highrise buildings must end by 10.30pm. This is to ensure the `noise' or din generated during the `activities' is capped to allow `peace and quiet' for the residence staying nearby after 10.30pm. Read on... Regards, Cecil

Dear Linda, Thank you for your words of encouragement:) You should exclude the garage if you are doing a Feng Shui assessement using the Compass School theories such as Flying Star and Eight House which subdivides the various sectors. If you have the time to upload a sketch of your house and indicate the location of the garage, I can help you find the centrepoint of the house. If the file is small, e.g. in .jpg (Jpeg format) you can attach it to this conference or for a larger file, attach it to the conference: "Conference for Attaching Layout". In Feng Shui, under the Compass School, the Flying star theory has two modules: 1. The common Flying Star Chart analyses the birth chart of the house on a horizontal perspective i.e. you divide the house into either 9 grids or into a `pie' chart of 8 equal parts (excluding the centre which makes up the 9th sector). 2. The Flying Star House Number module specialises in looking at vertical perspective e.g. flats or apartments. As it is considered that each house on different levels have different `qi' influence. 3. What you are `asking' is that your house number 22831 how do you derive `7' or is there a mistake in keying in. Anyway, house number is based more on numerology which can be considered a `belief' as there are many many ways in which people look at numbers. Some combine the numbers, some listen its phonetic sounds. So numbers can be subjective to an individual's likes or dislike. 4. Traditional Feng Shui looks more that other issues and not numbers. Thus it is my personal opinion that numerology should be looked at (other than Flying Star house number for apartments) differently. Warmest Regards, Cecil
