Show me the money

In 2003, I had read the 4P chart of a friend's 6 year old boy.  The kid is a strong jia-wood day-master with wealth and output elements in both stems and branches.  It is a good "shi-shang (output) produces wealth" profile.  The only problem is metal (control) is very weak and only shows up in hidden elements.

I told the boy that he will be rich when he grows up.  Even at the age of 6, this kid seemed to understand the concept of "rich".  He told his mother, "I will buy a big mansion and won't let you (parents) live with me."   His mother was really irritated.

Now this boy is 14 and cannot part with his IPad for more than 5 minutes.  He plays with it even during dinner and updates his Facebook page continuously.
Unfortunately, his mother is also a Facebook addict.

Anyway, his mother worries about the boy's lack of interest in academic learning and anything that is regarded as "work".  He thinks he will be rich and therefore no need to work hard at all.

"Ken, your 4P reading made him think money will fall from the sky into his pocket.  Could you come and tell him that he has to WORK for the money?"  My friend said.

I have similar experience with other 4P clients.  They got excited to know that they have a wealth luck coming.  But they just waited and did nothing.  Of course,  money will not knock at their doors.  Then they blame the messenger--- the 4P reader.

When your 4P shows that you have a wealth luck coming, it just means you will have a better chance of making money than usual IF you are actively doing something to make money.  Heaven will not throw money at you if you just sit down, wait and do nothing.

God helps those who help themselves.

Personality, luck and Feng Shui

In 2008, I had blogged about "Grandma's Tou-fu Dessert" and argued that luck is more important than Feng Shui.
http://kenlai.wordpress.com/2008/11/12/grandmas-tou-fu-dessert/

I was in Hong Kong last month and checked out Grandma's Tou-fu dessert again.  She still stays in the same location and as usual, there is a crowd in front of her store.  Her competition across the street was no longer there.  Of course, I had gulped down a few bowls of her tasty and smooth Tou-fu dessert.

Why Grandma does not open more Tou-fu stores?

I had also checked out the top secret green bean soup dessert location near Apliu street of Shum Shui Po district.  Apliu street is the location of Hong Kong's famous flea market for electronics.

A middle-aged woman that people called "Green Bean Lady" sells cups of green bean soup dessert near a pawn-shop on the pavement.  She has no storefront, not even a kiosk or cart.  She has the paper cups with dessert put inside a tin bucket and stands near the pawnshop's building pillar.

Old customer passing by will raise his hand  and she will give him a cup of green bean dessert.  She turns her head around frequently to see if any policeman is coming because she is not licensed to sell prepared food.  Strangers may think she is selling cracks.

She has the best tasting green bean dessert in Hong Kong.  Her "stand" is one of the "must-visit" when I return to Hong Kong.  I had asked her once how come her dessert is so tasty.  Her secret is using traditional stone cookware to prepare the green bean dessert with seaweeds.

(2025 update:  Grandma's Tou-Fu store still operates in the same location since early 2000 with crowds in front of the store. )

A few years ago, I had asked her, "You have a great product.  Why don't you open a shop to sell your green bean dessert and maybe eventually open many branches or do franchising and become filthy rich?"

Green Bean Lady just laughed her head off and replied, "Talk is easy!"

I should have brought Tony Robbins along to give her a motivational talk or simply threw her out from 20000 feet above the sky to build up her confidence.

I have estimated her income from this low profile selling is at best about the income of a laborer.

Obviously, Green Bean Lady is neither in good luck nor in bad luck.  She does not seem to be aggressive or eager to expand her "business".  In other words, her personality affects her risk-taking or business behaviors.

Besides social environment influences, one's personality is primarily "born with" or what we call "pre-heaven".  We may use astrological methods like 4P (Bazi) or ZWDS to analyze one's personality make-up.

Comparing Grandma of Grandma's Tou-fu to Green Bean Lady, we can see the effect of luck and probably personality on risk-taking.  Grandma takes the risk of renting a store and moves around when landlord raises her rent.  Green Bean Lady also sells but does not take the plunge of renting a storefront.  Her marketing style limits her business growth.  Grandma will probably accumulate a sizable wealth eventually.  Green Bean Lady is likely running in circles or staying in the same economic strata.

(Update:  Green Bean Lady had quitted business in around 2020)

What is the morale of this story?  Find a Bazi reader to read your 4P birth chart to see if you are in good luck period and have what it takes to run a business (or take my "4P Bootcamp" video course).

Can a cat override bad Feng Shui?

This is an amazing story about a stray cat and the firemen of a small fire station in an Asian city.

This small fire station has less than 10 firemen and is located at the edge of a cliff.  The back of the station is on the steep side of the cliff and hence it has  no "support mountain".  The front of the station faces a vertical boulder and a semi-circular road or "sickle sha" (in Feng Shui terms) cutting into the main entrance.  The layout of the building is like a stretched "U" with the right-hand side longer than the left side.

Feng Shui predictions for people of this station are:  major accident or injury happens at least once every 3- 6 years to member of  certain Chinese zodiac animal signs, high turnover, scandals, and bickering.

In reality,  people consider stationing in here is a "plum job" , like taking a vacation while working.  Working life here is peaceful and enjoyable.

The unusual feature of this fire station is that it has adopted a stray cat Mary despite the local belief that adopting a stray cat is inauspicious to one's wealth luck.

Firemen here do not know when this cat was adopted due to routine job rotations in the Fire Department.  They only know Mary was adopted over 10+ years ago.  So Mary should be 12- 14 years old or is equivalent to 70+ years old in human terms.

Everyone treats Mary as if she is the patron saint of the fire station.  They believe Mary protects them from major mishaps.  Even when a new boss takes over the station at regular intervals, he dares not remove Mary because the firemen may feel insecure.

Mary is the famous feline within the local fire department.

A few years ago, Mary was hit by a car and suffered massive injuries.  The firemen in the station believe that she took the "hit" for them.  They had raised about US$2000 among themselves for Mary's surgery.

When I saw Mary in this fire station, I put my hand over her head and felt her energy.  She looks like an earth-god or nymph or mountain god to me.

Does this cat override the bad Feng Shui of this fire station?  My answer can be "yes" and "no".  "Yes" because this cat may have supernatural power.  "No" because it is not really about the cat's power, whether supernatural or not.  It is about the kindness of the firemen adopting this stray cat and treat it like a god.  This collective kindness generates a huge positive energy that shields the firemen from negative Feng Shui energy. 

What can you learn from this story?  Go to the "death row" of your local animal humane society and adopt a cat or dog. Death row cats or dogs are the one that no one wants to adopt due to their old age or physical characteristics.  This type of adoption is as good as saving a life and will  generate more positive energy around you.   This positive energy will shield you from misfortunes.

"Can metaphysicians make immense wealth?" Part 2

"Can metaphysicians make immense wealth?"  It is tempting for me to give you a definite "YES" answer.  So that you will send me your hard-earned money to buy my metaphysics courses or  invest the money for you. 

On the other hand, smart reader like you may ask, "If you can make immense wealth with metaphysics, why bother making peanuts to sell me courses or service?"

My opinion on this question would be:  Metaphysics like Feng Shui, Bazi, QMDJ, and the likes can help you improve your chances of making wealth WITHIN the confines of your destiny.  For example, if Bazi or 4-Pillar method says John Doe's lifetime wealth potential is $1 million, it does not mean John will get $1M.  He may get only $500- 600k.  With Feng Shui techniques to enhance the wealth position of his home, he may get more.  With 4P techniques, he may get a little more.  But John has little chance of getting more than his lifetime limit of $1M.

In Chinese metaphysics, we differentiate between "shù" (術)  and "shù" (數).  "Shù" (術) refers to magic and supernatural methods involving spirits, deities and/or religious belief.  "Shù" (數) refers to methods based on formula and calculations. 

I had done some casino experiments using both magic and formula aspects of metaphysics.  Using Qi-Men-Dun-Jia method, it is easy to win in the initial hour entering the casino but not afterward. You need to "recharge" your qi or energy using QMDJ again to stay "alive".  Using 4P alone, your chance of winning is bigger if you choose a day that is your wealth element.  You chance of winning is also higher if you sit at your wealth direction.  However, we found that if your 4P chart has no wealth element, it becomes very difficult to make you win anything.   We also have some other 4P methods to enhance your odds of winning in our "Destiny and Luck Management" courses.

I had also tried using magic and psychic power with a few students in a native American ran casino.  The casino is protected by strong energy and all we could do was just extending the play time but lost the bet eventually.  Another test in an Asian casino was even worse.  The place is protected by spirits that warned us to get the hell out of the casino. We had "cross-over" their territory.

How about using metaphysics to do stock trades or FOREX?   I have not done that myself, but I have seen my students doing it.  They all do very well doing dry runs or using practice accounts.  However, most lost their shirts when doing the trades with real money.  I guess the "luck" factor kicks in when real money is used.

Money probably affects the trajectories of destiny more than anything else.  So the Universe (or god) is unlikely to grant your wish of immense wealth easily-- even if you use metaphysics.

On the other hand, small requests that do not affect the paths of destiny much -- like stopping rain/snow for an hour, a free dinner or a few dollars, are easily done (or granted by deities) with metaphysics.  Even I can do it sometimes.

"Can metaphysicians make immense wealth?" Part 1

"Can metaphysicians make immense wealth?" (玄學家可以賺大錢嗎？)is the question raised by Kang-zi, author of Hong Kong's Headline News (in Chinese).

http://www.hkheadline.com/fortune/fortune_content.asp?contid=24662&srctype=p

Kang wrote that if metaphysicians were good at their trade of predicting the future, they should have made immense wealth in betting/ gambling, stocks and commodity markets.

But the reality tells another story.  Rich and famous metaphysicians are rare in both west and eastern societies.

A few famous Feng Shui masters, Iron-plate specialist and other metaphysicians that Kang knows had claimed to be "Stock God" (股神)-- only resulted in losing big in the financial market despite their metaphysicial prowess.

"Why did they lose their shirts?" asked Kang.

The common explanation for lack of "rich" metaphysicians is the "divine punishment theory".  The "price" to practice metaphysics is to be poor or "not rich" for "leaking heaven's secrets" and changing people's destiny.  

But Kang does not buy this "divine punishment theory".  He argues that  metaphysicians are not the only ones changing people's destiny, so are doctors, police, firemen, and the like.  Should these people be poor too?

Kang believes there are metaphysicians who have made it big or lost big.  The ones who make it big just keep quiet to avoid taxation or loan-seekers.  Personal attitude, according to Kang, accounts for up to 70% relevance on whether one will strike it rich or not.

Kang turns to fatalism  for explanation.  He argues that if one has fame and wealth luck, one will be rich and famous regardless what s/he does.  In addition, the personality make-up of metaphysicians is always antagonistic to the personality attributes necessarily to make it big in wealth and fame.    

"Ken, what's your take on this topic?"

This is not a 1-sentence answer question.  I'll write about my little experiments with metaphysics and wealth generation.  Let me sell some courses before answering it in detail next time.  My "Pre-price increase sale" of video correspondence courses will end in two days.  Mention this message will extend your deadline to Feb. 20, 2011.

(See, this is one example of generating wealth with metaphysics)

Eat your way to prosperity?

Do you know you can spice up your luck by eating the food that  corresponds to the favorable element of your Bazi or 4-pillar birth chart?   Eat your way to prosperity using your favorable element!

If you favorable element is:

• WATER-- eat more salty food
• WOOD-- eat more sour food
• FIRE-- add bitter food
• EARTH-- eat more sweet food
• METAL-- eat more spicy/hot food

How do you figure out your favorable element?  You may consult a 4P reader or take my "4P Bootcamp" video correspondence course.  No money to take any class?  No problem.  Here is a simple way to find out your favorable element. The color that you love most is likely your favorable element. For example, if you like red color, your likely favorable element is fire.  Water color is blue or black.  Metal color is white, gray  or golden yellow.

Don't blame me if you put on weight.  Send me or a charity 10% if you hit the lottery.

There are numerous methods to enhance your luck taught in my "Destiny and Luck Management" courses.

Happy Chinese New Year!

More on Grand Duke Remedy and Secret

60 Grand Duke Hall, Deity in center is Dou-Mou, mother of 60 Grand Dukes

A few weeks ago I have posted Grand Duke Talisman remedy for people with violations with Xin-mao (rabbit) year Grand Duke (2011, effective from Feb. 4).  The responses are great and I have already run out of  Grand Duke talismans and need to create another batch.

The offer is:  your charity donation of US$30 or more to any legitimate charity will get you specially blessed Grand Duke talismans.  Here are some examples of donations already done:

• animal protection shelter
• homeless shelter
• Save-the-Children
• church restoration fund
• children hospital
• and more.....

If you are worried about privacy issues and future solicitations-- please be assured that I will not email you in the future other than sending a note that your talisman is sent.  You will send me no money.  You send your money directly to your favorite local or international charity. You do not even need to pay me postage.  You do NOT need to purchase any additional item from me or anyone else.  No future solicitation of any type will be sent to you.  I believe in karma.  If there is karma between you and me, you will approach me and not me sending you junk emails.

In last post I have only listed the 3 groups of people who need Grand Duke talismans most.  This time I also list two more groups that are affected but not as critical as the first 3 groups.  Here are the groups:

1.  "Fu-yin" or same animal sign of Grand Duke-- people with RABBIT sign

BIRTH YEARS:  1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999

SYMPTOMS:  obstacles, stagnation or running "reverse" instead of forward 

2.  "Fan-yin" or "clashing" the animal sign of Grand Duke-- people with ROOSTER sign

BIRTH YEARS:  1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005

SYMPTOMS:  this is the worst case scenario-- accident, sickness, surgery, losing competitions/wealth, moving, death, changing job 

3.  "Xing" or "penalizing" the animal sign of Grand Duke-- people with RAT sign

BIRTH YEARS:  1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008

SYMPTOMS: backstabbing, arguments, accident, surgery, lawsuit 

4.  "Hai" or "harming" the animal sign of Grand Duke-- people with HORSE sign

BIRTH YEARS:  1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1984, 1990, 2002

SYMPTOMS:  minor obstacles 

5.  "Po" or "breaking" the animal sign of Grand Duke-- people with DRAGON sign

BIRTH YEARS:  1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000
SYMPTOMS:  minor obstacles and sickness

SHOULD YOU FREAK OUT IF YOU CLASH GRAND DUKE?
Don't be scared.  Sometimes people become very successful when they clash Grand Duke!  There are also people who have suffered major misfortunes and even death when they clashed Grand Duke.  How to determine your clashing Grand Duke is good or bad for you?  Do you want to know this ultimate secret?

It is all in your luck!  If your current luck is good, clashing Grand Duke will not hurt you much and sometimes even make you more prosperous!  If your current luck sucks ("bad"),  your definitely want to get a Grand Duke talisman from me or Grand Duke may make your life more miserable.  This is why sometimes people said Grand Duke is a "fair-weather" friend  (Actually this is nothing mysterious but the nature of luck energy transfer--  this will be a long discussion!)

CHARITY DONATION FOR GRAND DUKE TALISMANS OFFER:
If you need more than one Grand Duke Talismans, here is the discount schedule:
--one talisman US$30 donation  (US$5 if you are unemployed)
--two talismans US$50 donation  ($10 if unemployed)
--three talismans US$60 donation ($15 if unemployed)
(you may go to www.xe.com to calculate the equivalent of US$30 to your local currency)

Talisman that is grounded with a charity event works more effectively because it has an exchange of one type of energy to protection energy.

To claim your talismans and application instructions, please forward your donation receipt with the talisman recipient names and address to:   kenlai88@yahoo.com


All talisman claims will be sent by First Class mail in USA and air-mail outside USA.
