New Release: Imperial Qi-Men-Dun-Jia 4G

Originally I had planned to use 3 months to upgrade Imperial QMDJ 3G version to 4G.

It takes almost 3 years and 1.5 million keystrokes later--- here is Imperial QMDJ 4G.

It takes so long because of my old habit in graduate school-- before I start anything I will review all the available literature in that field.  I have checked all possible QMDJ materials under the sun for this upgrade, so that you don't need to waste time doing it.

It turns out most of the "new" QMDJ materials shown up in the last few years, especially from a certain country, are mostly junk or works of fiction.  I have wasted lots of time on them and ended up sticking with classic QMDJ materials and actual field testing.

This Imperial QMDJ 4G edition is 3 times bigger than the original 5-days QMDJ live seminar manuals taught in 2005.  I have created different versions to make this course more affordable for people who do not need all the bells and whistles.  There are 3 flavors of Imperial QMDJ:

• Practical Imperial QMDJ 4G with 12 hours of video  (US$999)
• Advanced Practical Imperial QMDJ 4G with 16 hours of video  (US$1299)
• Professional Imperial QMDJ 4G with 21 hours of video  (US$1499) 
• Please check  www.kenlaifengshui.com for special pricing that will expire on May 15, 2013.

Smart Visual QMDJ Chart

A major change in the 4G edition is in the 1080 QMDJ pans or charts section. I have designed the new bilingual "Smart Visual QMDJ Charts" that almost do the thinking for the user.  User gets the following critical info with a quick glance:

• leaders of 9-stems, 9-stars and 8-gates
• Fu-yin info of stems, stars and gates
• Fan-yin info of stems, stars and gates
• auspicious directions (the "red star")
• symbols to show if an element is auspicious (happy face) or inauspicious (bomb) or semi-auspicious (sad face)
• color-coded and number-coded to show the element nature of each item in the chart

Smart Visual Charts make QMDJ chart interpretation a child's play by giving a meaningful visual representation of the chart. It also reduces the instructional time needed to explain it.

With a little practice, one can get raw results on a QMDJ reading within 2 to 3 minutes including time needed to convert the hour to binomial (jia-zi) and locating the Smart Visual Chart in the Field Operation Manual.

Another major change is the addition of numerous examples-- from 60+ to 130+ examples, depending on the version.

Numerous QMDJ "indicators" or "external signs" are added to the Advanced and Professional version.  It is probably the biggest collection of indicators in English though this is more for bragging rights than practical applications.

One valuable addition is the "Field Experience" section based on actual testing.  Quite a few lineage grade secrets are embedded in these field experience of actual QMDJ applications.  This section alone probably worth 50% or more of the purchasing price.

QMDJ birth chart reading is added to the Professional and Advanced version with a 120 years QMDJ 10K Calendar for checking QMDJ birth charts.

There are numerous new topics added in the 4G edition. The following comparisons (click to enlarge) will show you some details:

The interactive DVD menus of the Professional Imperial QMDJ 4G are shown below. The Advanced and Practical version are subsets of the Professional version.

Field imageries: Qi-Men-Dun-Jia vs. Plum Flower Divination

In Qi-Men-Dun-Jia, there are many “indicators” or imageries seen in the field for almost every aspect of 9-stars, 9-stems, 8-gods and the like. These indicators are material objects, animals, scenes, colors, different walks of life and etc. Many teachers do not place too much attention for these indicators, largely because many of these indicators or imageries are no longer found in modern life and environment.

These indicators are supposedly showing that your QMDJ application is working or in the process of working. Here I choose the two of the Ba-Men (gates) for you to get a feel of it. I have tried my best to "modernize” these indicators to fit current situations. For examples:

XIU-MEN (Living Gate, very auspicious)
When you go through xiu-men, you will see a noble person (high status) at 30 li (about 21 miles) OR see snake, rat or water creatures at 50 li (about 35 miles)

SI-MEN (Death Gate, very inauspicious)
When you go through si-men, you will see a funeral or dead people OR see crying, mourning, patient or prisoner at 20 li (about 14 miles)

For QMDJ, these indicators are "signs" for the particular QMDJ application-- i.e. the user will look for these signs if the anticipated results are coming.

On the other hand, Plum Flower Divination (PF) also uses field imageries extensively. Unlike QMDJ, the imageries or signs are not prescribed. The implied meaning of an imagery can override the hexagram predictions generated by Plum Flower Divination. For example, if your client asks about the sickness of his father and you see or hear a funeral hearse passing by (even if you see the hearse on TV at that instant), a PF prediction, regardless of the hexagram generated, will be death for the patient.

For PF, field imageries that are positive will be positive for the prediction most of the time, the opposite is true for negative imageries. "Omen" can dictate the results of PF. So make sure you do not take a negative thinker along to your PF divination session!

For QMDJ, there is almost no value-judgment on the imageries other than as indicators that the QMDJ process is working or not.

Depending on your school and teacher-- some insist on the signs must show up or your QMDJ applications will not work. Others do not attach much importance to it.

While QMDJ can also do divination, but it is not easy to master because there are too many formula and techniques to remember. Most people can pick up PF pretty quick and do good divinations in much shorter time and cost less money.

I have shown QMDJ can also do birth chart reading like 4P in my "Imperial QMDJ" seminar and video. But I think 4P does a better job in that aspect.

QMDJ is better and more flexible in date-selection-- "everyday is a good day as long as you choose the right direction." QMDJ date-selection is much easier to learn than traditional date-selection methods. People with knowledge of stem and branches can learn it within an hour with my "Practical Imperial QMDJ" video correspondence course.

Cover letter for "Practical Imperial QMDJ" Video Course

御定奇門遁甲


Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for purchasing this video-correspondence course.

The original course plan was much smaller in scale than the current size. You can see the current retail price (US$699 and then $999 in a few months) reflects the amount of work involved and comparable market price of similar products.

There are still quite a few rough edges in the video. It will take forever to ship if I try to correct it all. If the same video is done by professional video company, it will cost US$100- 150k. The street price of each copy will be over US$3000.

The course is not perfect. But I found video is probably better than live-class instruction in that the process is a lot smoother. Same amount of information can be shown in about 1/3 of the time used in live class. So you can learn more efficiently and at your own leisure or pace. Slow learners can also learn easier with video. Combining an online discussion group with a video course may outshine live class instructions.

However, it takes 3- 4 times more time to prepare for video than live class. The danger of piracy and lost revenue are also much higher than live class. The video was made in a 2- 3 month period and you can see I have “aged” through the process.

If after taking the course, you feel that the price tag is too high for something this simple, then I have done my job.

In 2005 when I first taught Imperial QMDJ, a Chinese teacher also announced that he will have a QMDJ class, but it will be six months later. Another Chinese teacher also made a similar announcement, but the course will be available two years later (he will teach it in early 2008).

So you know it takes a master-level Chinese teacher 6 months to 2 years to learn or prepare for QMDJ. Now my course can show you how to use QMDJ in as little as an hour. It takes me a long time to develop this course to make it simple and easy to learn.

This is a “practical” course in that I minimize theory and items that will confuse you rather than helping you to use QMDJ. Specifically, the process of calculating ju numbers, seasons and chart construction is briefly covered. This part still takes 3-months to learn in Taiwan.

You may ask, does this omission hurt your QMDJ applications?

Even assume you have gone through learning all these “nuts and bolts” process (and spent 2- 3 days and US$800- 1200), you STILL need to check the Qi-Men 10k Calendar. If you check the calendar, why not just flip a few more pages to look for the QMDJ chart at the same time?

Yes, you may manually construct the QMDJ chart—it takes 15- 30 minutes and it is very error-prone with over 50 data points!

The worse thing is, after you have paid and learned these theories, you are likely to forget it in less than a month, especially if you don’t use it often enough.

You don’t need to be a mechanic to drive a car. Same logic applies to QMDJ.

Now with course manuals Mini-Qi-Men 10K calendar and 1080 Tables, you can locate a QMDJ chart and make interpretation in one to five minutes. The theory people cannot even figure out the ju # in 5 minutes!

In my 5-days class that covers both theory and usages, I found most students are likely to get frustrated in the theory and calculations parts that killed most of the class time, leaving very little time for practical examples and demonstrations.

This practical video class covers more grounds (except theory) than my 5-days class. It has more graphics and examples. You will be more confident in applying QMDJ after this class.

Even assuming you have learned nothing from this course, you can still use the “Optimized QMDJ charts” as long as you can read 1-2-3!

Finally, thanks again for your patience and feel free to ask questions in the online discussion group. I cannot possibly put everything into the manual and video. If you like the course, please refer it to your friends or write some comments (can be anonymous) for me or in public lists. If you don’t like it, you can use the DVD with my picture as target practice (Sorry, Chinese does not have a refund custom).

Best Wishes!



Sincerely,


Ken Lai
