Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 12, 2001 Staff Share Posted September 12, 2001 We are all sadden by the acts of terrorism against America.Coincidentally, under Shapes and Form Feng Shui; the two tallest (twin towers) are considered inauspicious shapes.This is because, the two towers is symbolic of an offering of " Two jossticks " e.g. during a funeral rites.In Asia, when we visit a `wake' (funeral of a loved one of our friends/relative); we pay our respects by lighting up two joss sticks - as a respect to the deceased. We would offer the joss sticks in front of the coffin and for some, bow three times.Thus, two large buidlings e.g. sticking out like two joss sticks spells inauspiciousness and represent death. Coincidentally, this has unfortunately happened.It would be difficult in China or Asia, for buildings to have twin towers; particularly that tall. A building may have one tower taller (but the second tower should be lower). For example: the United Overseas Bank (UOB), Singapore and the Westin Hotel, Singapore both have one tall tower and a shorter second tower. This would negate the bad symbolism of an offering of two joss sticks.Thus, it was sad that eventually, when we see the two buildings on fire, they looked like two joss sticks on fire.Warmest Regards,Cecil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 12, 2001 Staff Share Posted September 12, 2001 Further to what I mentioned below:-Under the Shapes and Form Feng Shui, another bad omen is that the twin towers resemble a tuning fork. Because, such towers uses steel/metal girdles or frames, depending on the wind conditions, with such tall structures, they would `resonate' between each other like a tuning fork (creating Sha Qi).This is why, for building construction (Feng Shui) it would be best to construct a single tall structure (that is not attached to a twin tower).Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 9/12/2001 1:07:00 PM, Anonymous wrote:We are all sadden by the actsof terrorism against America.Coincidentally, under Shapesand Form Feng Shui; the twotallest (twin towers) areconsidered inauspiciousshapes.This is because, the twotowers is symbolic of anoffering of " Two jossticks "e.g. during a funeral rites.In Asia, when we visit a`wake' (funeral of a loved oneof our friends/relative); wepay our respects by lightingup two joss sticks - as arespect to the deceased.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 12, 2001 Staff Share Posted September 12, 2001 Further to this, we usually want to know where is the `head of the house'.This is quite similar to the situation of the fatal error of `chopping' off the head of the house. Ref: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/grandpa1.htmIf we look again at symbolism in Feng Shui we can imagine that the two twin towers are like the two human legs. Where the head (like an ostrich) buries his head underground and its body is in the middle.We can imagine an "upside-down" person with his head buried in the ground and his body holding the two legs sticking up in the air.This "ostrich effect" of an `upside down person' kicking its two legs above, shows dire predictament. And is another Shapes and Form `interpretation' of the inauspiciousness of the twin towers.

myfs_69907 Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 Thank you. I was wondering if/hoping this would be addressed. I was aware of the first problem (resemblence to joss sticks) but not the second two. Thanks for the education/enlightenment.Deb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
