THE GHOST MONTH

This 31^st July is the start of the Taoist “Ghost Month” and lasts exactly one month and to me is the most dreaded month of the whole year. This is because for the whole month the lost spirits are allowed to roam freely the whole period and to those who are observant, will be noting the many strange things that may occur during this period. In my book ‘Esoteric Views on Health” I had written a whole chapter about my experiences and observation during this period and an extract is given below-

“She was told that she had annoyed a wandering ghost and so was taught a lesson. It was again the ghost month of the Chinese. This was getting too much, but because it involved my own nurse whom I see every day and who was under my care, it made me wonder more about this ghost month thing. The funny part was that she had these funny illnesses almost every ghost month although she was very careful about her health. In her case, I now think that she was quite vulnerable because she has an increased sixth sense and so a very easy prey to spirit influences.

Very recently, just prior to the completion of this book, I had another strange case. A distressed mother brought her 6 year old son to see me with the complaint that he kept vomiting after every attempt of food or water consumed in the last 5 days.

She had taken her son to see two different doctors who gave treatment but there was no response. I had to do something for the child and I used all my experience and knowledge to look for a possible pathology indication but found none. It was puzzling and I noticed also he had a very funny, awkward gait, which the mother denied he had prior to this complaint.

I asked the mother to take the boy to see a temple medium and indeed she took him that very day and the medium achieved what we doctors could not – he was well that very moment after some prayers and holy water. This again happened during the Ghost month and the medium told the woman not to take her son out at night during this time. I had nearly admitted him to hospital a few hours earlier.”

TAOIST TALISMAN

HAUNTINGS AND HAUNTED HOUSES

To enjoy reading this segment,one must belief in the existence of ghosts. You maybe surprised to know that ghosts are everywhere! And they will know who are able to see them and who are unable to. Let me relate a story.
My friend’s daughter, a girl of 6 years old, has an inborn ability to see spirits. She was caught several times talking to non- existent friends and the parents were thinking every child does that and were the least concerned. Recently they had gone for a short vacation to one of the casinos and when they returned home, my friend thought she saw some shadows rushing pass her at the corners of her eye. It seemed her husband too had the same experience.
My friend felt very eerie and so she consulted a Taoist medium who confirmed that there were 2 spirits residing in her house! Her daughter had said there is a little girl that comes to play with her and that her face was like after being burned and so looked quite ugly. The medium had mentioned about a young girl that died with her family in a house fire about 4 to 5 years ago not too far from where the Casino situated.
It was a difficult cleansing process to rid the house of the spirits and to prevent further intrusions by wandering spirits, the medium had pasted several Taoist talisman in strategic locations.
Looking back, now my friend realised that her daughter had been talking to these spirits almost everywhere they go- restaurants, play grounds, cinema halls, road side and etc. Thus we can see that many people who had passed away remained at the physical dimension and are stuck thus. They really need help to go where they really belong- the spirit world.

MEDICAL FENGSHUI

This aspect of fengshui had been neglected by many masters but is my favourite subject. Many only associate fengshui with wealth but the health aspect had been given little or no attention. In fact I had achieved my best results in fengshui consultation on the health aspect. I remember one case particularly well.
The husband was at his wit’s end because his wife had an almost never ending stream of health issues one after another. Their financial resources were almost depleted because of the constant hospital and doctors’ bills. It was then they came to consult me. When I reviewed her medical history, I knew that it was not mainly a medical problem that she has; it has something to do with the fengshui aspect of their house. To cut a long story short, you may refer to my Book “Esoteric Views on Health” in the chapter 14 ‘Strange Illness caused by the Unknown”. Yes, I managed to solve her health problems without a tablet or injection and neither did she need to be hospitalised.
I should also warn that just like medicine is not able to solve all cases of illnesses, neither can the use of medical fengshui. All have their limitations. Many chronic diseases, especially cancers, are karmic- linked and thus almost impossible to cure. But sometimes we can use fengshui to help enhance the recuperation of the patient.

MY FAVOURITE LIULI

JUST BEAUTIFUL

ANOTHER WORK OF CRYSTAL ART

LET'S TALK ON SOME ART- THE LIULI CRYSTAL ART

Let me now digress from serious talks to some Art for the relaxation of our Minds. Of course I relax by doing meditation, paida or lajin exercises but I don’t expect every one to follow me. Viewing art pieces is one good way of relaxation of the mind but some modern art makes us feel very uncomfortable with its very abstract drawings and play of colours. I introduce the very elegant and pleasing works by Loretta H. Yang, who restored the lost art of the western Han Liuli crystal art to its rightful place in the international arena. She founded the LIULIGONGFANG in 1987 in Taiwan. Since then it is a world known brand for the Liuli Chinese Crystal Art.
When I viewed the works, I felt so much at peace and tranquillity.Enjoy!!

FOR THIS JULY- THE GREAT INVOCATION

For this July, it is a very important month as the Solar Eclipse in the beginning of the month starts the new Saros Cycle of Creation. July had always been an important month for the ancient Egyptians as it leads to the next level of consciousness. It is a time when spirit and matter comes together to release the energy of creation. If we etch our dreams into the matrix of creation, by the help of Sirius, our Spiritual Sun, it will certainly come to life.
I wish to introduce a special prayer called “The Great Invocation” that was made popular by Torkum Saraydarian that is appropriate for this July. It is a very old prayer and had its origins from a Tibetan master. Just reciting it yourself will bring immense benefits, and if you can form a triangle with 2 others and recite it simultaneously, the effect is multiplied. The other 2 persons can be anywhere in the world. The Christ mentioned in the stanza is for all religious Teachers. Now do it!

THE GREAT INVOCATION

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let Light stream forth into the Minds of men
Let Light descend on Earth

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men
May Christ return to Earth

From the Centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men
The Purpose which the Masters know and serve

From the Centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth

UPDATE IN KUALA LUMPUR

Right now, Police had arrested about more than 540 people. KL in showdown right now.

HOT FROM THE NEWS HERE

Things are getting dizzy in Kuala Lumpur- I hope my prediction will not materialise but trouble is brewing up.

THE LUO PAN - A FENG SHUI COMPASS

SOME FENG SHUI TALK

I had received fengshui training both formal and informal, from several fengshui masters and one grandmaster. Many were from Hong Kong and if China mainland is excluded, these masters are among the best. Early this year I met a fengshui master from Beijing and he blew all of us apart with his abilities. His knowledge when compared to many of us, is like a PhD to a Primary school level student! He can do very complicated calculations within a few minutes and comes up with a detailed analysis of past, present and future events.
Anyway, having this knowledge sometimes is a burden. I will tell you a story now. A friend invited me over to his new house and I was more than eager to see his million dollar house, yes, it is at the upper end of the housing market. I was eager because I wanted to see the fengshui of the house as it intrigues me.
This is because of what had happened after he moved in with his family. One of his kids was getting sick most of the time, in and out of hospitals and there was a break in as well, although there are security guards in the small enclave.
There was already a small gathering of his other friends when I arrived and all of us settled down for some food and drinks. Now to do a proper fengshui analysis I will need my luopan, the Chinese fengshui compass but that would be so obvious. Besides, he had not asked my opinion nor does he belief in this “nonsense”. However, now a days I do clandestine fengshui for my own knowledge. I mean I will take the compass directions using a small pocket device and no one will even notice what I was doing. I do this as case histories to understand the fengshui of the place.
However this time it was difficult because of so many people around. I had one chance and whipped out my hand held compass to take a quick reading but this way it suffered from great accuracy. So my calculations will only approximate the real calculations. I noted the reading. As it was already dark, I could not observe the land forms beside the house, and actually this is most important. Thus it will be only a very rough guide as to the fengshui of the premises.
When I got home, I started to calculate out the 2 possible fengshui results from the 2 different readings that I ended up with- house facing either East 3 or SE 1. Even with this limited information, along with poor accuracy, I could see that it sort of confirmed what had occurred thus far- his kid getting sick most of the time and the burglary. The Charts worked out to be as below-
The Flying Star East3 chart-

SE 2,5 S6,1 SW 4,3
E 3,4 1,6 W 8,8
NE 7,9 N 5,2 NW9,7

The Flying Star SE 1 chart –

SE 8,6 S4,2 SW6,4
E 7,5 9,7 W 2,9
NE 3,1 N 5,3 NW 1,8

Now without going into boring details of the Flying Star analysis, the above charts of Mountain and Water star distribution did not show good star distribution in many of the sectors that cover the master bedroom (East sector) and kids’ bedroom ( SW and NW sectors). Moreover their water fountain is placed in the wrong sector (North). The East3 chart could explain the burglary since at the East sector is where the break in occurred. Also East facing house is a Dui House and this year is very inauspicious, as it meets 5 Yellow and Tai Sui(Grand Duke). Very few people can have a house with perfect fengshui but if a master is consulted, then some remedial measures may render the bad effects to be lessened or not occur.
This is a very rough fengshui assessment as I have no opportunity to look at the landforms around the house to trigger the bad Flying Stars. Moreover full assessment may need Advanced Flying Stars or other methods of feng shui like The Eight Mansions (Ba Zhai) or Liu Fa methodology, which I was told is superior to the other two methods.
Now this is the burden that I have to bear- knowing the rough fengshui of their house, in particular it being very bad this year of the Rabbit for them, how can I tell them when they have absolutely no belief in fengshui? We are not allowed to interfere in other’s destiny especially when we are not invited to do so- it is a Law. So I have to keep my mouth tightly shut.

PREDICTION FOR 9TH JULY, 2011

Back ground information
Some back ground information is needed before I proceed with my prediction, to set the scene, so to speak. Actually this prediction is of importance mainly to my fellow country men and women. You see, there is talk of holding a big rally in most part of the country on that day- July 9th. One group will hold the rally to bring attention to some issues confronting the country, while two larger groups will hold counter rallies to oppose the first group. Many other groups wanted these leaders to call off their rallies for sake of peace. However until today, it looks like the leaders are unable to call off the idea and thus is expected to take place. Tensions are running high and may spark off trouble. And the date they chose, July 9th is such a coincidence with the worst possible energies according to the Chinese Almanac! Actually I can’t believe it!
July 9th is a Day of Wood Ox and a day of ‘Destruction” as well as a ‘Month Breaker’ day. What a combination. A month breaker is the worst energy, more deadly than the ‘Year Breaker’ day.
“Destruction” day is as the word suggests, things are being destroyed, and it can be anything at all. In the tsunami of 2004, it occurred on a ‘Destruction” day. It is not a good day to start a new business too. It is a day of Wood Ox, and Ox clash with Goat. Thus is so much more dangerous for those born in the year of the Goat- 1991,1979,1967,1955,1943 and 1931. Thus Goat people will get the brunt of the destruction. So if the rallies are not called off, then we can expect lots of chaos and disaster. Looks to me that this is destined, unless the rally organizers had consulted feng shui masters to choose a day that will hurt the government most, and thus is more of an artificially created chaos.
Truly, I hope my prediction will not come true because if it does, then lots of people are going to suffer in one way or another. I am not proud to make this prediction. It however showed me that it is the Heavens that have a hand in the chosen date to execute a happening. But the final word whether this will occur will be if I do the I Ching divination. This is absolutely accurate.
Date selection is not only practised by the Chinese but also by the Jewish Kabbalists. In the famous 1492 year, which was on the 9th of Av, Christopher Columbus was scheduled to set sail for the New World. But he made his crew sit on the ship all day long, waiting for the day to pass. He then launched his journey on the 10th of Av because like all learned Kabbalists, he knew the 9th of Av is the darkest day of the year. For 24 hours, Tisha B’Av – 9th of Av(Leo) the forces of chaos is given full reign over the Universe. And this year it will be on 8th August. In the Chinese Almanac, it is also the baddest day! It is called “Closed” – where no good qi is available, as Heaven’s doors are closed. Thus two of the oldest civilizations, the Jews and the Chinese, have the same thinking. But the Chinese way is a bit weird- dealing with dragons, phoenix, tiger, black tortoise, the magic Lo Shu square and so on.
