WET FENG SHUI

Note: The following was written on Jan 31, 2003

Got your attention? Too bad, this is not what you think.

I saw a Discovery Channel program about burial at sea. Someone invented a new sea burial method-- mixing the ashes of deceased with cement to build an artificial coral reef and sink it into the sea. So the deceased will become sea creature habitat.

Then a pal in Singapore emailed me an ad for underwater pagoda burial.

Singapore is a tiny country with limited space for burial. Some marketers think of mixing ashes of the deceased with cement and mould it into cement blocks. Then treat the blocks with water- resistant compound and build it into a pagoda. The pagoda will be sunk into sea with an anchor and GPS.

So do you think your love ones will be happy to be wet 24x7?

I think westerners may have no problem of becoming an artificial coral reef after they died. For Chinese, this will be a tough sell.

According to yin Feng Shui, it is a big "no-no" for tombs that are flooded with water. Extreme bad-luck and strange diseases will befall to the descendants of the deceased.

However, in these cases where the deceased are cremated, the effect on descendants may not be as potent. The ashes are essentially carbon.

In any event, personally I don't like spending my eternity wet. I'll tell you a fun alternative in my next msg. So don't kill yourself yet until you have read my next msg.

(PS: The msg. had never been written because it was about space burial and the Challenger space shuttle accident was happened around that time)

CASTLE GATE JUNIOR

The following is taken from Hermit Bok Hok Ming's book, "22 methods to energize (wang) your house and neutralize negative energies (sha)". Mr. Bok has written over 40 Feng Shui books in Hong Kong. If he were the Feng Shui course marketing folks in the west, he would probably somehow be marketed as "great great supreme master". Calling himself "hermit" shows his modesty or humility. He is not even over 50 years old. His grand father was a Feng Shui practitioner.

This junior version of Castle Gate method is derived from Master Jiang Da Xiong's "Do Ti Bao Jao Classic". Castle Gate method is used to energize (wang) house fortune. This method is considered "advanced" Feng Shui technique. The "junior" version is the first part of the castle gate theory, which can be easily grasped by any idiot. The second part is not for idiot though.

In residential Feng Shui, we can use Castle Gate method to place some Feng Shui items to energize a house.

Here are some examples of such items:

1. Aquarium or water items with moving water or fishes

2. Pendulum clocks -- movement of pendulum

3. TV-- sound, electric current and magnetic power

4. Hi-Fi stereo-- sound, electric current and magnetic power

5. Air-conditioner-- sound, electric current, air current and magnetic power

6. Electric fan-- electric current, air current and magnetic power

Essentially, anything that move will energize the house, provided it is placed in the right place.

By definition, castle gate is the two sides of the facing direction.

To understand the logic of this method, you need to know the former heaven bagua (He Tu).

In He Tu, there are 5 pairs of numbers, which represents directions and one of the 5 elements.

They are:

North 1 NW 6 (represents water as a pair)

SW 2 W 7 ( fire )

East 3 NE 8 ( wood )

SE 4 S 9 ( metal )

center5 10 ( earth, not used)

According to Castle Gate theory, the auspicious direction of a building is derived from the facing direction. And the direction that "pairs" with the facing direction according to He Tu is the auspicious direction for Castle Gate.
