Welcome,
Dear Friends:
What is the difference between Feng Shui and BaZi - or Four
Pillars?
1. Fate: 40% or Heaven Luck - we can't change it.
2. Human Luck: 25% - represents our own efforts.
3. Feng Shui: 35% - we can use this knowledge to help
shape our lives.
BaZi or Four Pillars of Destiny is not a mere entertainment fad, or something to satisfy our curiosity.
Used as
a great life improvement tool – it can bring great positive impact to
your life!
Four Pillars has been developed along with the varied Feng
Shui schools at about the same time – 4000 years ago. Feng Shui can also
be described as “Heavenly watching and landscape watching”, to support
the Taoist holistic view that there is a holographic relation between Heaven
and Earth. This theory is now supported by the new Quantum physics or chaos
theories.
Ba Zi is for the Human condition or ‘Destiny’and Feng Shui is for
the Environment. The two can not be separate. From the earliest times humans
were in search of finding their life purpose. For centuries the Chinese have
accumulated much knowledge to study these great questions in search of answers.
By studying the interaction between Man, the Environment, Time and the Universe
(Heaven), a pattern was discovered. This pattern represents the cyclical influence
of the energies in the Universe imprinted on us during the time of our birth.
This information is encrypted in the form of Eight Characters (BaZi). Thus the
study and practice of BaZi calculations allow us to decrypt this information
and our destiny can be revealed.
Most people have heard of the Chinese zodiac. Some know of the cycle of the
twelve animals, and of how their characters are described with a high percentage
of accuracy.
Unfortunately, for most people in the West, this knowledge was limited to the
year of their birth. However, the BaZi system is much more detailed and inclusive;
it tells of a person’s character to a high degree, and from there, that
person can understand his or her strengths and weaknesses, and make essential,
intelligent decisions and improvements about the course of his/her life. BaZi
divination is different from Western astrology. While Western astrology places
emphasis on psychological insights and nuances, BaZi tells it as it is. Examples:
“She will live comfortably, and her earnings will flow
in well: however because she tends to spend money the moment she gets it, she
may not be able to accumulate wealth. Still, her husband will be a hard working
and supportive man, so she can have security - especially in her mid-twenties-to
mid-forties”.
”Your business will prosper until you reach the
age of forty, but do prepare and try to avoid an accident in that year: it can
be avoided if not doing business in the South."
These are just short examples of an authentic BaZi reading. Even if some accept
it with skepticism, the readings are often realized, with amazing precision.
Think of Four Pillars of Destiny as a weather report or traffic report for your
life or possible destiny.
You can ignore the reports, and might get stuck in traffic or snow or you may
be faced with possible problems because you were not prepared. If you pay attention
to the report you can avoid or minimize the probability of damage and take advantage
of the good opportunities that may arise in good cycles.
At the same time, if you are not aware of your best cycles, you may miss them
altogether. The wisdom of the ancient people is here for us to use to optimize
our chances for happiness and improve conditions for others and ourselves.
If we know ourselves, we know our limitations and positive qualities as well
as those of our fellow humans we can all get along a lot better.
The Eight Characters or BaZi represents the static chart of
our destiny. The eight characters are called our 'Ming' or Life. Our Life Path
or Destiny is calculated in what we call the dynamic pillars where they represent
10-year periods of our life. These pillars are known as Luck Pillars.
Example
of the Four Pillars of a famous person, John Lennon:
Birth Date: 9 October 1940 18:30
Conception Hour Day Month Year Life
Yin Fire Yin Wood 50% Yin Wood 50% Yang Fire 80% Yang Metal 80% Yang Fire
Ding Yi Yi Bing Geng Bing
Ox Rooster Rooster Dog Dragon Dog
Chou You You Xu Chen Xu
_______________________________________________________________________________
Yin Earth 60% Yin Metal 80% Yin Metal 80% Yang Earth 60% Yang Earth 60% Yang Earth 60%
Yin Water 10% Yin Water 10% Yin Wood 10% Yin Water 10%
Yin Metal 16% Yin Fire 16% Yin Water 16% Yin Fire 16%
From this chart we can
see that John’s self element: Wood (only
about 20%) is ‘under attack’ from an overwhelming amount of Metal
(50%) (his opposite – power element). His tragic end happened
in a year when Metal was especially powerful: 1980 –
the year of the Yang Metal Monkey (Metal on
top/Metal below). (Metal increased by 50%).
He was also about to enter into a Yang Metal-ruled 10-year
cycle: ruled by the Metal Tiger (Metal
on top/Wood below)
– high probability for sudden attack…
Water, his supportive element is found in abundance in his wife,
Yoko’s chart. This explains his great need he had to be near her at all
times.
We live under the influence of two immense fields of energy. Below us is the
constant power of Earth. Above us, and expanding through the immeasurable vastness
of space is the energy of the Cosmos. We, as human beings, always have been
fascinated by the mysteries of the Universe from the Creation to today's events.
Understanding the influence
of these energies and their impact on our lives is the basis of Feng Shui. EP.
"There is a mysterious thing
that existed before Heaven and Earth
Silent and empty,
Alone and unchanging,
Ceaselessly turning,
It is the Mother of All Things.
If I must, I'll call it "Great", Greatness entails transcendence.
Transcendence entails going beyond.
Going beyond entails
return to the beginning". From
Tao Te Ching XXV
