Feng Shui: Ghost-gate lines 鬼门线

The term "ghost-gate" (鬼门) exists long before the term "Feng Shui" was coined.  You can find this term in the ancient text of Yi-jing. 

Ancient text claims that "ghost-gate" is in northeast or Gen trigram, where spirits or ghosts entering or leaving.  Ancient people like to build temples on this location to facilitate spiritual communications.

Modern views do not think ghost-gate is really ghost-ridden, but the energy here is very "yin".

There are two types of ghost-gate line.  The line at the center of northeast region (Gen trigram) is called "outward ghost-gate line" 表鬼门. The other one at the southwest (Kun trigram) is called "inner ghost-gate line" 里鬼门.

These two angles have the most "yin" energy within 360 degrees.

In terms of Feng Shui, doors, toilet seat, stove, fridge, air-conditioner, washing machine, hi-fi, TV, wealth position......, should not be placed on this ghost-gate line.  Inauspicious events or misfortune may happen if items with movements are placed on these ghost-gate lines.  

Negative events will happen to male owner mostly if outward ghost-gate line is violated and to woman owner if inner ghost-gate line is provoked.

Negative effects will be more severe if main door sits on ghost-gate line.  It will be the worst if this door is also facing a T-junction or other form-sha energy like a "sickle sha" or "heart-piercing sha".

5-elements your way to the bank?

I was in Hong Kong last month. While I walked in a subway station, I saw billboards advertising a "5-Elements Money Market Fund".

"Great! More work opportunities for Chinese Metaphysics folks!" I thought.

This morning, Mr. Li Zhao Ji (李兆基), a multi-billionaire, a.k.a. "Asia Stock God"
("亞洲股神") talks about "5-elements theory of stock trading" (炒股五行論). For details, please check the following link (in Chinese):

http://news. xinhuanet. com/fortune/ 2007-12/05/ content_7203235. htm

For basic theory of stock trade and 5-elements, please click this link (in Chinese):
http://hkstock. cnfol.com/ 080212/132, 1357,3778655, 00.shtml

In the last few years, some well-intended folks are trashing 5-elements applications in 4P, Feng Shui and others.

While there are limits of 5-elements, they are still the cornerstone of Chinese Metaphysics.

5-elements are not just physical metal, water, wood, fire and earth.

To apply 5-elements theory in terms of qi (energy), in terms of actual physical elements or just in terms of symbols, is situation-specific. It is not easy to throw out the 5-element concept without upsetting the whole equation.

Humans and living beings are all under the influence of 5-elements. You either become an immortal or dead when 5-elements stop affecting you.

Well, time for a cup of tea (Darn! Water-element controls me again! Maybe I should draw a Kan hexagram and eat it instead.)

HEAVEN, EARTH AND HUMAN GUA/ DRAGON

Note: This was written on July 31, 2004

Someone has asked about "heaven plate" yesterday. Here is an excerpt from the course manual "P8 Upgrade Toolkit".

HEAVEN, EARTH AND HUMAN GUA/ DRAGON

In the beginning, luopan had only 8 directions or the 8 trigrams (Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui). To make the measurement more precise, the ancients subdivided each trigram (45 degrees) into 3 regions of 15 degrees. These regions are called “mountains”.

1. People may confuse “heaven” gua must be all “heavenly stems” directions.

2. 24 mountains is another “representation” of post-heaven Bagua—each trigram of the Bagua handles 3 mountains. So it is essentially another way of “Na Jia”.
3. For the heavenly stems, only 8 stems are used because wu and ji are “earth” and assigned to the center. All 12 earthly branches are utilized.
4. However, there are only 12 + 8 = 20 mountains; we still need four more mountains to “fill” up the 24 directions.
5. Qian, Kun, Gen and Xun, which happens to be at the 4 “corners” of the bagua, are drafted into the 24 mountains.

6. 3 groups of “mountains” are divided according to the location and “purity” :
Heaven gua (yin): zi, wu, mao and yao

Heaven gua (yang): Qian, Kun, Gen and Xun

These eight mountains are considered as “pure” because of their location.

The yin group locates on the “4 cardinal points” and the yang group in the 4 corner locations with no mixture of other directional qi

Earth gua (yin): chen, xu, chou and wei (the 4 “tombs” or storages)

Earth gua (yang): jia, geng, bing and ren

Human gua (yin): yi, xin, ding and gui

Human gua (yang): yin, shen, si and hai

Characteristics of these guas:

HEAVEN GUA -- specialized prosperity, esp. in fame and social mobility

EARTH GUA -- quick and fast prosperity, esp. in academic performance

HUMAN GUA -- long term prosperity, esp. in wealth aspects
