Advanced Feng Shui
Saturday, March
17,
2001
This weekend, I began my advanced study of
FS with Master Sang and his teachers: Sophia Shaul, Barbara Finch,
PK Odle, and
Chris Shaul.
He introduced himself, reviewed his family's history,
including his ancestors, Tsang, who was among the originators of the
classical Feng Shui (FS); and described his recent trip to Hong Kong where the FS of a
multi-million dollar home was beyond remediation that he advised the owners to tear
it down and start over from the ground up.
We begin with learning about ANNUAL numbers and the Xuan
Kong System:
7 Hard Metal-W, DUI is the annual number for the present
20-year cycle, 1984 - 2003, a period of entertainment, amusement.
2002 will bring more injury by metal, as 7 is unhappy with its decay. 9
Fire-S, LI is gaining power; use it more.
8 Earth-NE, KEN is the annual number for the next 20-year cycle,
2004 - 2023.
3 and 7 Combination:
3 Small Wood, SE-SUN: Gossip, arguments, lawsuits -->
Behave! Don't argue.
7: Hard Metal), E-TUI: Robbery imprisonment, fire,
bleeding, slander and arguments --> Be careful with shootings.
Metal chops woods. Domination. As the
20-year cycle is waning, and metal is losing power, this domination is
not as bad as it could be.
Sophia Shaul, a student of Master Sang since 1992:
Q&A:
1. Duplex: Determine sitting and facing for
the building, as well as for the unit. Sitting and facing is not
necessarily the same for the building and the unit.
2. Loft: Has its own separate grid.
3. Energy is trapped at the the time it is
enclosed and sealed in the office, often in close proximity in time with
the roof raising.
20-Year Cycles:
1 1864 -1883
2 1884 -1903
3 1904 -1923
4 1924 -1943
5 1944 -1963
6 1964 -1983
7 1984 - 2003
8 2004 - 2023
9 2024 - 2043
Change is February 4.
