Introduction
A lot of people asked me on how accurate
are divination and destiny reading. Also, some asked why destiny reading is so
accurate in reading past events but not accurate in predicting the future.
Another question I received is can we change our destiny?
Chinese has one saying: 人可信命但不可任命. It means, human can believe in destiny but can’t leave it to
destiny. Believing in destiny means to embrace what you have and work around
it’s advantages and disadvantages. For example, if you are in bad luck, then
stay low, do your preparation and wait for good luck. When you are in good
luck, then you go all out. If you leave it to destiny, then you are basically
doing nothing.
There was a story of a middle-income person that
went for destiny analysis. He was told that he will be millionaire in 5 years
time. During the 5-years, he basically stays at home and waits for the time to
come. He did nothing and became so sick and passed away. When he reached the
other world, the chief investigator asked why he was here when his time was not
up. According to his record, he was supposed to be rich so he asked the god of
wealth why he didn’t deliver the money to him. The gods of wealth replied that
he was there and knock on the door but nobody answered. The person was so sick
that he can’t even open the door. So,
the moral of the story is that when your time is up to be rich, you need to be
physically capable to accept the wealth.
What is divination?
Dictionary.com defined divination as:
- The practice of attempting to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge by occult or
supernatural means.
- Augury; prophecy: The divination of the high priest was fulfilled.
- Perception by intuition; instinctive foresight.
It is defined as “occult” or “supernatural” as it cannot be
explained scientifically.
In Chinese Meta-Physics, divination provides a “peep” into
future events. However, the actual outcome depends on many factors. Here are
some of the possible scenarios:
- The person asking, after knowing the result, did
nothing about it.
- The person asking, after knowing the result,
reacts negatively about it.
- The person asking, after knowing the result,
decided to do something about it.
For
example, a person come to ask about his marriage situation and the foretell
outcome is that the person will divorce in 2 months time. If he does nothing
about it, then the outcome will come true in next 2 months. However, if he
decided to salvage the relationship and does all he can to win back his wife,
then the situation might change. (e.g. He can brings his wife for vacation for
2 months):
So, does it mean that the divination system is not accurate?
Not really. It depends on many factors:
- How a question being asked and the background
surrounding the question being asked (I will explain this later)
- How the person react to the foretell results (as
describe above)
- Any unknown circumstances that might affect the
outcome
Why asking the correct question is important?
A friend of mine went
for parent volunteer interview and asked me whether the interview will be
successful. So, I plot the chart and use the generic Day Stem to represent him.
In the palace there Si Men and it is in restricting situation with Tian Fu,
which represents the interviewer. Therefore, I told him that his interview is
unsuccessful. After a few days, he informed me that he was selected. I was
puzzled at first but then later he told me that the interview was a group
interview where all parents were being interviewed at the same time. As such,
using the generic Day Stem to represent him was not correct as in this
situation (group interview), Day Stem represents all the parents. So, when I use his birth year to represent
him, then I can see the “correct” outcome from the plotted chart.
Lesson learnt; always find out the background
and nature of the question asked before foretelling the outcome.
What are the unknown circumstances?
We only know what we know and we don’t know what
we don’t know. Since it is unknown then there is no way we can find out. We can
only react based on the information available. Like the example above, when the
person take action, the outcome will be different from what’s being foretell. Does
this means that divination cannot be used anymore? The answer is No. We can
always do another divination every time there is change in the circumstances
(e.g. the person take action or new discovery)
Isn’t the above situation similar to what’s going on with
missing plane? Things will be changing rapidly.
Here is an example of how you can make use of
the divination results to your advantage. This divination was done by one of my
student. Her father complaint about seeing double on his left eyes. She brought
her father to see an eyes specialist, done some MRI but could not find anything
wrong. So, she did a divination. Here is the chart:
From the chart, Tian
Rui, sickness star is at Dui 7 Palace and with this, there is no indicator that
there is anything wrong with his eyes. In addition, it is in Kong. So, the
sickness cannot be detected.
One thing to note, Hour Heavenly Stem is Gui at Xun 4 Palace
with Du Men and Teng She. Therefore, matter asked will be stuck. So, asking
about health matter, it will be stuck. So, she is in dilemma. In addition, representing doctor is Tian Xin
at Kan 1 Palace with Xiu Men and Jiu Di. Xiu Men means the doctor is relaxed.
Jiu Di also means low or sub-standard. So, the doctor did not check properly.
I advised her to find another doctor for 2nd
opinion on Bing, Ren or You day when the Tian Rui is filled up. On 15th April 2014, which is a Bing Chen day, she
brought her father to see another doctor. Within 10 mins, the doctor diagnosed
her father as border line diabetic and further blood test confirmed that.
Later, she told me that her father actually went to see another doctor and this
doctor asked him to go for droopy eye lid surgery.
So,
instead of listening to the 2nd doctor and go for eye lid surgery,
she decided to follow the chart and seek another doctor opinion based on the
information obtained from divination.
They benefited from the divination system but reacting and using the
information obtained from it. Does it mean that the divination is not correct
as the chart showed that the sickness cannot be detected but it was confirmed
that the problem is due to mild diabetic?
Destiny Reading
In the olden days, a person life are graded
as 富 (Fù) - Rich, 貴 (Guì) – Noble, 貧
(Pín) - Poor or 賤 (Jiàn) – Despicable. In ancient Chinese time,
a Noble (貴) person might not be a Rich (富) person. Some wanted to remain poor
and noble. However, the current modern society, most of the Noble people are
Rich and most of the Rich people can “buy” nobility. So, I put Rich and Noble
as the same level:
The Poor are the
people who need to work hard to earn a living. Of course, their only desire is
to move up the chain to become Rich and/or
Noble.
The Despicable are the
slumdog, beggar, prostitutes, pimps and etc. They will do things that is not
norm or socially not acceptable by the society for a living.
So, does it mean that
someone that is born with a Despicable life (as according to Destiny Analysis)
will not be Rich and Noble? The answer is No.
There was a story about a blind female beggar in
Saudi that has begged for 50 years died suddenly and left behind SR 3 Million
in cash, jewelry, gold worth SR1 Million and four buildings. (http://www.arabnews.com/news/541011)
Believing or leaving to Destiny
Chinese has one
saying: 人可信命但不可任命 (Human can believe in destiny but
can’t leave it to destiny).
Believing in destiny
means to embrace what you have and work around it’s advantages and
disadvantages. For example, if you are in bad luck, then stay low, do your
preparation and wait for good luck. When you are in good luck, then you go all
out. If you leave it to destiny, then you are basically doing nothing to
improve your life.
Confucius said: 不知命，无以为君子也 (bù zhī mìng wú yǐ wéi jūn zǐ yě). People who don’t
understand Destiny, they are not gentlemen. Basically Confucius said that every human
being needs to understand and act according to one’s destiny. If not, how to
become a gentleman?
Destiny
– Luck cycle
Everybody
will know that there will be certain time when there are ups and downs. This is
called luck cycle and these will fluctuate throughout a person life. In actual
fact, a luck cycle is not a thin line like the diagram above:
In reality, it is actually very thick. This
will form a boundary of your luck within a given time. So, the key idea is to
maximize your luck; regardless of whether it is down or up. You push it to the
max to achieve optimum results as shown in the diagram below:
If you do nothing, then your luck will be
mediocre, if you enhance it, then you push it to the maximum to get the maximum
return. This is regardless of whether you are in good luck or poor luck. Of
course, when you are in poor luck, your returns will be less but it is better than
no returns!
How to maximize your luck
The ancient sage already provided the
formula to maximize your luck. There are:
一命, 二运, 三风水, 四积德, 五读书, 六名, 七相, 八敬神, 九交贵人, 十养生.
- Destiny
- Luck
- Fengshui
- Do good deed (karma)
- Study
- Good name
- Change your
look/attitudes
- Ask for blessing
(Spiritual)
- Obtain help from
networking (nobleman)
- Self-cultivating
Destiny
and luck already being covered above. For Fengshui, it will be a wide topic but
using Qi Men Dun Jia as a method, we can use Qi Men Dun Jia Divination to take
a sneak peep and then using your own action to act accordingly. On a macro perspective,
we can use Qi Men Dun Jia Destiny Analysis and coupled with Qi Men Dun Jia
Fengshui to boost your luck as well as to save guard when your luck is down. On
the micro perspective, we can use Qi Men Dun Jia Date Selection to ensure you
achieve the results that you wanted.
The
ancient sage advised us to do more good deed. This is the most basic law of
nature. When you do good deed like helping others, naturally when you need
help, others will help you.
Study is
basically to increase your knowledge. The more you learnt, the better you are
informed and the wiser you are. For example, if you happen to learn Qi Men Dun
Jia, then you will have the knowledge to improve your life.
Cantonese
has one saying: 唔怕生壞命，最怕改壞名. It means: not afraid to have
poor destiny but worst is to be given a bad name. Scientifically, it has proven
that your name actually influence how people perceived you. Here are two
articles for further reading:
So, in
Chinese Meta-Physics point of view, apart from having name that is socially
acceptable, the name has to support the person’s destiny. For example, if Fire
element is beneficial to a person based on destiny analysis, then the name
should have fire element.
“Your
attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude” - Zig Ziglar. Therefore, having good attitude is important. Buddha
saying: 有心无相，相由心生；有相无心，相由心灭.It means: when you have the
heart but not the look, the heart will change the appearance to be better. When
you have the look but not the heart, then your appearance will change to the
worst. That’s why your thinking and attitude will change your appearance and
look. This will change people’s perception on you.
Asking for blessing is basically spiritual
cultivation.
The 9th is networking where
through networking, you are able to obtain help from people, also known as your
noble person.
Last but not least, self-cultivating is to
way to improve your wellbeing. This can be done by embarking in spiritual
cultivation like meditation, chanting or embark in healthy life-style like
Qigong practice. Healthy mind will have healthy body.
So, now you know why the same person born
on the same date, time and location do not have the same destiny. This is
because only the first two items (destiny and luck) are the same. The rest are
different. Even twins that stay in the same house with the same parents have
different karma, name, attitude and will meet different people as well. So many
people born on the date and time as Bill Gates but there is only one
billionaire Bill Gates.
Why Destiny Reading is accurate when reading the past?
People asked me this all the times. This is
because you don’t have the baggage of knowing the future prior to the destiny
reading. However, after a destiny reading, your subconscious mind will kicks in
and without you knowing, you mind will react to the information provided during
the destiny reading. In addition, you might decide to act on it instead of
leaving it to destiny.
There is this book written by Yuan Liao-Fan
in the 16th Century with the title: Liao-Fan’s four lessons. This book was intended to teach his son how
to recognize the true face of destiny, tell good from bad, correct one’s faults
and practice kind deeds. It also provided living proof of the rewards and
outcomes of people who practiced kind deeds and cultivated virtue and humility.
Basically the books told his’ own experience at changing destiny. This book is
translated into English and you can search it from the Internet.
How can you maximize your
opportunity using Qi Men Dun Jia?
Qi Men
Dun Jia Divination can provide a sneak peep of the outcome. This helps to
provided information for you to take the appropriate action. Like what Sun Tze
said: know yourself and know your enemy,
you win thousand wars. So, using every scenario as warfare, your perform Qi
Men Dun Jia divination to understand your “enemy”. Then you use appropriate
action (know yourself) to your advantage to win the “war”.
In
addition, Qi Men Dun Jia Bazi can be used as basis for major decision. For example, to ensure that the house you are
staying will support you in your future endeavor; you can choose a good sitting
house that matches your Qi Men Dun Jia Bazi. (See Destiny Reading above).
To
ensure optimum results, you can use Qi Men Dun Jia Date Selection to choose a
good date and time to execute your plan. Qi Men Dun Jia Date Selection is a
complex process and normally it can take weeks just to find a good date.
However, I have simplified the process and created software for students to
use. A good date can be found within minutes.
For
precautions and lasting results, Qi Men Dun Jia Fengshui can be used. As I
mentioned in my article: Bazi is
diagnosis while Fengshui is prescription, based on Qi Men Dun Jia bazi, Qi
Men Dun Jia Fengshui can be used to enhance your bazi as well as to remedy any
shortfall. For more serious problem, Qi Men Dun Jia Live Grave can be used.
In my class, students are taught on the Qi
Men Dun Jia technique as well as ways to use the information to their
advantage.
I am probably the only one that offers a
comprehensive Qi Men Dun Jia English courses with reasonable price.
