Crap FENG SHUI Blog: 11/08

Note: The following article came from a known source, written by a naive Feng Shui proletarian who is trying very hard to prove himself worthy and to please the hands that feed him. It is such a shame and a bloody embarrassment for someone who doesn't realize what the heck he's writing about. Here's another obtuse attempting to insult the Feng Shui Masters who have gone before him. Eat your silly words boy!

During one of the tomb visits on the recent China Excursion, one student quipped that the tombstone did not have a ‘dragon neck’.

Say what? Some of us stopped dead in our tracks. Did we miss some Feng Shui secret?

“You know,” she said. “The part where the tombstone is connected to the ground via a tunnel of soil...?” She was dead serious so no one laughed. After further cross-examination, she revealed that her previous (and first) exposure to Yin House Feng Shui was somewhat peculiar – a small brick passageway was made right behind the tombstone to the ground, so that the ‘Qi can travel up to the stone’.

I thought the Qi was received by the bones and DNA of the body? Never realized that the stone was supposed to be the recipient of good Feng Shui…

Thankfully, after more Yin House visits all over China later – and seeing that there was no such thing as a ‘dragon neck’ for the tombstone – our dear confused friend was convinced. In fact, older Yin House Feng Shui is done without the tombstone. After all, the point of Feng Shui is to locate a spot which gathers Qi and to use it. In this case, ‘using it’ would mean burial.

Crap Commentaries:~

- Would the ancient Feng Shui Masters actually tell and show others if they did make a 'dragon neck' behind the tombstone or not? Your guess is as good as mine.

- Next time, if anyone goes to a China or even Taiwan or even Hong Kong Feng Shui Excursion, make damn sure you bring a shovel and a hoe to dig the graves to check for the 'dragon neck'!

- If Qi is not received through the tombstone, why then build the tombstone with a specific direction? Why then do we even build houses and buildings? We might all as well stay out in the open to receive the good Qi!

- And just how many dead bodies has the naive author bury? Talk is cheap!

- And and and how many tombstones has the naive author erected other than his own "tool"? Talk is really very cheap!

The Devil Made Me Do It
(The Angel Made Me Debunk This)

Yin House Feng Shui is just another topic that is subjected to a great deal of deliberate misinformation and abuse. Every other person tries to appear mysterious and quirky – which innocent students mistakenly equate to being learned. We hear things like ‘offering rice to the Luo Pan’ after a Yin House consultation because the Luo Pan is a mystical object, although the last any respectable Feng Shui practitioner has heard, Luo Pans are magnetic compasses, made mainly in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Unless you haven’t seen a magnet in your life, a compass would hardly appear as ‘magical’.

One may be tempted to argue that perhaps such spectacular practice belong to the ‘secret knowledge of certain lineage-holders’… but I bid you hold your horses: first of all, no classical text has ever mentioned or even hinted at burial techniques such as ‘building a dragon neck’. In fact, the ‘dragon neck’ refers specifically to the land formation that connects the main dragon to the star form. It’s not something one can reconstruct.

Secondly, no Yin House tomb – successful ones at least – all over the history of China has ever been seen with such a thing! So how come now? Even Grandmaster Yang Yun Song’s own tomb is unmarked – and his good name and work still live on till today; Huang Tai Ji’s founding of the Qing dynasty began with an accidental ancestral burial at the foot of an elm tree, tapping into a ‘Reverse Dragon Overlooking Ancestors’ superior formation.

In fact, there is nothing too extraordinary when it comes to Yin House Feng Shui. If you know your San He landforms fundamentals well, you can do Yin House OR Yang House. However, Flying Stars and Eight Mansions would not suffice. Clearly because those are internal Feng Shui formulas – how do you demarcate the 9 Palace grid inside a tomb? So now if you hear something like ‘using the coffin to tap the double 8 stars’… you know better now.

Crap Commentaries:~

- It's only proper to respect the Luo Pan that every Feng Shui practitioner owns and uses, is there a need to belittle and discredit a Luo Pan saying that it is just a magnet? Why doesn't the naive author use just a magnet then? No wonder his Luo Pan is not respecting him in return; cause he never offers his own Luo Pan rice! Guess his Luo Pan is not yet hungry!

- First of all, the naive author doesn't know how to read Chinese, be it if any Classical text ever mentioned about 'reconstructing a dragon neck' or not. A secret will always remain a secret when no one reveals the truth to one. Do hold your own dumb horse by remembering that someday, thee too shall not dishonour your own 'hidden' lineage.

- A great example where Luck lives longer than Life! How does naive author know if the past Masters's graves have or have not the 'dragon neck'? Did he actually dig the graves to take a look? Silly cow actually believes in accident. Yeah rite! What happened to the Luck element in Chinese Metaphysics? Ignorance is what shows when one thinks that Luck happens by accident!

- Did Crap read using Flying Stars and Eight Mansions for Yin OR Yang House Feng Shui? And using a coffin to tap the double 8 stars? If the coffin starts tapping... RUN!

Aiming For the Neck
(Aiming For the Crap)

In today’s Feng Shui arena, everyone strives to come up with something new. While it is a commendable effort, we should try not to stretch classical principles too thin. Or the novelty wears off. It becomes laughable.

Standing at the actual neck of a dragon (read: mountain range) is truly a humbling/exhilarating experience for every Feng Shui student. Imagine this: you are way up high above ground-level and it’s very windy – but when you find the slight dip of the neck – the winds stops. Because good quality dragon necks are protected by natural mountain formations at the sides, and as such, wind does not hit it.

Why this is so important is because the ‘neck’ connects all the Qi of the main dragon ranges and channels it to the star form where the Qi is released to the vicinity. Left unprotected (the case of inferior dragon ranges), being exposed to the winds means that the quality of Qi is diminished.

And again, I refer to the neck of the actual dragon…

- Did the naive author actually stand on a real 'dragon neck'? Perhaps it was just a jutting dragon butt! Wind? Yeah rite! The Dragon farted!

- Well, we can sum up that the naive author knows little but doesn't know a lot. Has he ever seen the 'Dragon Breath'?

- Perhaps the naive author was brought home by a Kingfisher after all, since he's got no lineage. We'll see who gets to laugh out loud and hopefully not the last one to pass out...
