Of Destiny/ManKind Luck./Feng Shui Luck

[Perfect168]

Hi Cecil,
Luck Formula: One third destiny, one third mankind luck, one third feng shui/earth luck.
My 1st question : is feng shui that important afterall? If one is destined to do well and one actually strives hard to enhance mankind luck, 2/3 of the war is already won.
2nd question: Which is more important - residential feng shui or office feng shui? I was told interrelationship feng shui is also important. This is where patt chee analysis comes in. I know of friends who conduct patt chee analysis prior to hiring staff for important management positions. Any comments of this method's authenticity?
3rd question: You mentioned, those with good patt chee normally have plenty of feng shui luck. It is a pity isn't it, if this feng shui tool can only be utilized by the selected few who are already fortunate. Any creative means to overcome this barrier to spread the wealth around? I always believe that this world has enough wealth to go round - to whom ever is interested enough to strive hard to seek it out.
Warmest Regards,
SL

Dear SL,
Thank you for bringing up very interesting questions.
Frankly, I can only provide my opinion and as many of us are aware; one can get many (many) different replies to your question.
Or even.. it can turn out to be highly emotional or over-charged if this question is posed to forums.
Therefore, I hope that for those reading this; ultimately; you have to make your own value judgements.

As I can see it; overall; Feng Shui should be seen at a macro level.
This is where a city has been Feng Shuied and it should apply to macro Feng Shui at the largest sense.
Here, generally, those living within this `city' or many within this city can accumulate wealth. This is where, there is some sort of a Dragon Qi flowing from the interior of the city towards e.g. sea. Usually, along the bank of a river.
For example: River Thames..... in England...
Although Feng Shui can be applied at a micro level; this is less effective for MOST people.
Example of Excellent houses:
One where it can siphoned off wealth from neighbouring homes. E.g. a house in the lowest trout of e.g. a Horse shoe shaped housing developmentj.
When we talk of `Feng Shui' luck we also `talk' about:
1. Accidents / Misfortune - death
2. Sickness
We can be affected by bad Feng Shui and it could result in accidents / misfortune or constant sickness.
There are instances of some houses where human beings cannot live in. And to live in such house(s) may result in death.
In other situations: if one chopped off the `head' of the house (where the profile of the house looks like it has a head and body): Usually if one chops off the head of the house to rebuilt it e.g. two storey high.. the head of the house becomes too heavy.
This may result in the death of the breadwinner.
A house with two houses on each side of it and where these two houses (form something like a U shaped) can mean death to both the breadwinner and his/her spouse.
Bad Feng Shui can result in accidents or sudden death or sickness.
Houses where there is underground courses below e.g. the bedroom area may result in Cancer to the family member living just below this room.

Yes Feng Shui should be looked at in a holistic way and as far as possible: the home and office should be Feng Shuied.
When you mentioned "patt chee " for those who are not aware; it should be also known as Ba Zi or Pillars of Destiny.
Some Chinese companies or especially businessmen choose their partners `wisely' and they do look at their Ba Zi and the Ba Zi of their potential partners or even managers. Those they consider not auspicious or in harmony with their Ba Zi is not likely to be hired.

normally have plenty of feng
shui luck. It is a pity isn't

fortunate. Any creative means

Frankly Ba Zi (Map of one's Heaven's Luck) and Feng Shui can be utilised by many. Not necessarily by selected few.
Here, if one is only considering `material' wealth then Feng Shui may not be the ideal choice to follow.
This is because as I mentioned earlier: Feng Shui is to look at one's earth luck and the harmony of the home with the earth.
Here, Feng Shui can be used effectively to help prevent: accidents / calamity or misfortune and minimise sickness.
Many of us feel that Feng Shui MUST be equal to $$$$ (WEALTH). Here, wealth can mean different things. I can live (barely) without savings but have a good family e.g. good wife / children .... So does this not mean WEALTH?
Wealth can be subjective and wealth can mean a good wholesome familiy life (perhaps lacking in money).
Many of us think that Feng Shui can immediately bring us out of Finacial problems.
Another thing Feng Shui can help is to `help us to' be healthy; have a good rest and if we have good positive atitude; we are on a good footing to try and help ourselves.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Cecil,
Thanks for your valuable and enlightening feedback.
Can you further elaborate on how Ba Zi can be utilized to improve one's luck?

I actually thought, Ba Zi is something you are born with and there is nothing you can do about it. We can never change our heaven luck, can we? However, I have noted that feng shui /earth luck could be harnessed to enhance our overall luck. Do correct me, if I am wrong.
Thank you so much.
Warmest regards,
SL

Dear S L,
1. If one visits some Feng Shui site(s); one may come across quotes like " 60% or 70% of one's Heaven Luck can be " changed ".
2. In the olden days; if one is fairly rich or well to-do or say of the middle income would:
2.1 Marriage
Many would seek professional advise to see if the Ba Zi of the couples match or clash?
If the match is good; the wedding would normally take place.
2.2 Birth of Child
Immediately after the birth of a child; for example; the grandfather or the father of the child would normally consult a Geomancer.
For example if the child lacks `water' element; " Water " would be included in his/her name to compensate the shortfall.
2.3 Ba Zi Feng Shui (Or Pillars of Destiny Feng Shui)
Some Feng Shui practitioners place high importance in the person's element. For example; if the person lacks `wood element'; some FS practitioners would ask this person to `decorate' his house with e.g. adding more wood in the decoration.
(This is just a simplistic method - more advanced method used include:-)
2.4 For example; if I were to do a House audit;
I would:-
2.4.1 Look at each family members element and strength i.e. father - weak wood; mother - strong water; 1st son - strong metal etc...
2.4.2 Binding Element
In the parents bedroom i.e. father and mother: the binding element is looked i.e. an element that can help both the father and mother `grow'. And also it can be applied to the living room / dining room of the couple.
2.4.3 Each family members element
The element of each family member is looked at in relation to their i.e. bedroom area to harmonise with it.
2.5 10 year Luck Periods
The Pillars of Destiny Luck periods is looked at to see whether there is any imbalance during that period for the person. Here, cures may need to be relooked at. For example if the season affects the person; then it is looked at in relation to the cures.
2.6 Ba Zi is also looked at:
2.6.1 Elements that are auspicious to the person
2.6.2 Elements that the person should avoid.
2.6.3 The wealth element and how; it can be used to help the person.
3. Ba Zi also has as an interesting area: Suitable careers:
3.1 Career with wealth
3.2 Career with power / authority..
4. Ba Zi also can be used to help design a logo for the person.
The above are some of the instances where Ba Zi or Heaven's map can be used to help one understand our heaven's map and use some of the information; to help " influence " our life.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
