Disney+'s Korean reality show "Battle of Fates" 《天机试炼场》

Intro:  The post below is taken from from my Bazi discussion group to show that I am still alive.  Current year of fire horse affects almost every earth citizen under the sun.  I hibernated for a few months.

********

This is a "Survivor" version reality show for fortune-tellers covering Tarot Cards, 4P, face/ foot/ bone reading, mediumship, psychic, shaman, name-reading, Yi-Jing, .... etc; with 49 fortune-tellers competing (like Japan's "Iron Chef" 20+ years ago) for supreme.  This show is hot, especially in SE Asia.  Copycat shows with localized contents are produced in many Asian countries.

You can check reviews in YouTube by searching :  "Battle of Fates".  But English reviews are  briefer than Chinese (Mandarin) versions.  Chinese versions have episode by episode coverage in summary (so you don't need to subscribe to Disney+ or wasting too much time watching the whole series).

This link below is in Mandarin which provides a lot of details:
火爆韩综！四十九位通灵大师斗法，现场被死者附身召唤亡魂！一口气看完《天机试炼场》！

Below is a 4P chart of someone who hit the lottery jackpot in one of the episodes.

The show's explanation for hitting lottery is:  "Because this chart has may peer stars which symbolize wealth and also has both + and -wealth stars (Zheng-cai and pian-cai)".   Do you agree?  (Wu-earth DM here).

For "Wealth Bazi" members:  Do you think this DM can keep his lottery winning? 
For "Sickness Bazi" members:  What are the potential illnesses for this DM?

Some online discussions think this show is fake or highly manipulated like other reality shows, like edited out inaccurate predictions and only showing the accurate ones.

Many of these "destiny workers" or fortune-tellers have gone through bitter sufferings/ life experience or have a major void (e.g., missing a major family member, sickness, disability) in life.  This is quite common for practitioners whose work altering people's destinies.

With the world economy messed up by a few dictators, it is not surprising shows like "Battle of Fates" getting popular.  It satisfies people's need to find some methods for predicting their future.

Animals that can see or sense ghosts

Humans have 5 senses-- sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch.  Some animals have more than 5 senses.  They could sense magnetic field or different dimensions that most humans, other than psychics, are incapable of.

Below is a list of animals that can sense ghosts or spirits:

1.  Dogs 
 Sometimes we can see dogs seem to bark at nothing at night.  Dog can sense higher frequency than humans.  They can "see" ghosts.  I have a psychic student who can "see" spirits told me that her dog welcomed a ghost into her house instead of chasing him away.  Chinese believe that black dog can scare ghosts away.  Adopt a black dog for protection if you are afraid of ghost.

2.  Cats
Cats are nocturnal animals with sensitive eyesight.  They can sense and distinguish if a ghost is friendly or unfriendly.  Be careful when you see your cat suddenly raise all its hair.  In Asia, it is  very inauspicious to see a black cat in a funeral, especially if the cat walks on the deceased.  People believe it will turn the dead body into a walking dead. Adopt a cat if you want your own "ghost detector".  Tabby cats that look like mini-tigers are also good for scaring ghosts away.



3.  Cows
In traditional Chinese culture, cow is considered  a working animal with psychic ability.  Some Daoist priests use cow tears to activate a person's "psychic eye" to see ghosts.  They believe cows can also "see" ghosts.  Some cows can even foresee their own death and drop tears before entering the slaughtering house.

4.  Pigeons
Pigeons are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Ghosts are "yin" or negative energy.  Vengeful ghosts are especially "yin" in nature.  It may be incorrect to say pigeons can see ghosts.  Pigeons probably are spook by ghost's negative energy and fly away erratically.

5.  Koi fishes
Similar to pigeons, Koi fishes do not really "see" ghosts but are sensitive to the negative ghost energy.  Chinese believe Koi fishes have inherited the blood of dragon.  Dragon does not "see" living things but sensing the soul directly.  Hence Koi fishes can sense souls or ghosts.  Koi fishes, especially the old ones (30+ years old), can scare ghosts away too.

6.  Human babies
Human babies and toddlers can see or sense ghosts because their primal consciousness is not yet "polluted" or socialized by adults.  Sometimes a baby suddenly cries hysterically with no reason.  This baby probably has seen a "stranger" (ghost) showing up that his parents cannot perceive.  The Chinese people advise young parents not taking their babies out at night to avoid running into ghosts. Sometimes a baby may be scared so much that they may "lose" part of their spirit or soul and becomes sick.  Daoist ritual may be performed to "call" the missing parts of this soul back into the baby.
