Thanks
I would like to thank everyone for their mental support, which was so crucial in the process of creating and publishing a book by myself.
Thanks are also due to all the donors of the Fundorke Foundation, without whose financial support these words would not have reached the public.
With great respect, I turn to my Feng Shui master, thanks to whom I am walking this path.
My deepest thanks go to my son for providing me with great help and inspiration. The proofreading of the existing translation, the translation of the new chapters, the taming of the Ridero system and the design and production of the cover – succeeded only because of his involvement.
Feng shui and success
Motto: “What was once considered magic can now be explained as physical phenomena; what appears magical now will likely be scientifically understood in a dozen or so years.” – Interpretation of The Thrid Law of A.C. Clarke
For many of us in the West, living and operating at high speeds, Feng Shui is often associated with a new, trendy approach to interior design and surroundings. In the constant race for better positions in life, we rarely take the time to contemplate and wonder if what we’re pursuing aligns with our true aspirations. Feng Shui not only allows us to change our surroundings to match our personal vibrations but also assists in addressing the question: Are we ready for both external and internal transformations? One method employed by a Feng Shui master to help us find our personal vibrations is to interpret positive lines from the Lo Shu square based on our date of birth and the negative arrows received from fate. The success line in this square can significantly ease one’s life.
What is success?
To answer this question, we must explore ancient secrets known only to a few, which, thanks to Feng Shui, are now accessible to all.
Let’s journey back to the murky Middle Ages and consider the elusive dream that often led to madness: the pursuit of the philosopher’s stone, a mythical substance believed to transmute lead into precious gold. Many sages and alchemists sacrificed their lives in this quest, many were burned at the stake for the idea itself. Was it worth it?
Let’s imagine the archetypal image of the Knower who carries out countless experiments, transformations, and distillations to obtain a precious metal that will fill the treasury of the patron and sponsor of the research, usually some more or less significant ruler, because a treasury full of gold was synonymous with power.
Success in itself is something most of us are chasing. For success and wealth, we are ready to sell our soul to the devil. We remember the words of the song by Abba: “Money, money, money / Must be funny / In the rich man’s world / Money, money, money / Always sunny / In the rich man’s world” The fact is that material prosperity can attract any and every other form of success.
Personal line of success
Now, let’s delve into the origins of our personal line of success. Let us turn our thoughts to ancient China, the Middle Kingdom. The magic square of Lo shu, otherwise known as the birth chart or the birth map, was bestowed upon the ancient Feng Shui masters about 4,000 years ago by the legendary emperor Ta Yu, who, before becoming the emperor, had the knowledge and skills that made it possible for him to tame the waters of the mighty Lo river. As a reward for his efforts, patience, and engineering skills, he was blessed with heaven’s favour. He received a tortoise shell with an inscription in the form of marks. The Lo shu square divided into nine equal parts was created based on the shell. Each area was assigned numbers 1 through 9, such that the sum of the digits in each horizontal, vertical, and diagonal line equaled 15 representing the number of days between the most significant phases of the moon: the new and full moon.
This legend shows the inexhaustible source of Chinese wisdom, the observation of nature and its cyclical changes in the micro- and macrocosm.
Feng Shui masters believe that the interplay of numbers and their connecting lines together in a magic square plot shows the vibration of the forces responsible for the flow of cosmic energy chi in our surroundings and in ourselves.
We fill in the personal birth square, according to the general formula, with digits from our date of birth converted to the lunar calendar. If certain numbers are missing from our date of birth, the corresponding boxes are left blank.
Now, one might wonder: What do Chinese numerology, magic squares, or cosmic energy chi have to do with the date of birth of a European or an American?
Let’s reiterate the motto: “What was once considered magic can now be explained as physical phenomena; what appears magical now will likely be scientifically understood in a dozen or so years.”
The scientific perception of the cosmos as an energy spectrum from the turn of the century in which we were born, was a fundamental tenet of Chinese wisdom long before the beginning of the previous millennium. Let us quote master Lam Kam Chuen:
“The entire cosmos is a network of continuous communication vibrating with light. Vibrations travel through this grid of energy with incredible speed. Distant vibrations induce resonance in bodies and events seemingly separated by light years.”
Hence, the precise date: day, month, year, and the time of birth of a living creature, creation of a utility item or founding of a company, is so important and carries a specific numerical sequence that corresponds to cosmic vibrations in chi energy.
Numbers that make up the line of success
Let’s delve into the line of success itself, its location in the Lo shu square and the numbers 8, 1, and 6 that make it up.
