Feng Shui – The Trinity of Luck

This is one of the central tenets of Chinese Philosophy. The person’s life has three main influences which happen simultaneously.

Heaven Luck:

This is the roadmap of your life – also known as Destiny. This can be read through your Horoscope or Astrological Chart which is based on your time of birth. These charts are specific to the person. It informs you the periods of good luck and bad luck with other information.

Earth Luck:

This is the quality of the environment that you live in. Feng Shui is a methodology for assessing this quality.

Man Luck:

This is about you the person – your personality – “a go getter” or “very laid back”, a positive or negative mindset. There are many methods to improve the quality of your life by being able to control the direction of your life.

Inter-relationship of the 3 Lucks

The result of your life is because of the inter-relationship of the three lucks. It is because of this inter-relationship that the comment “astrology is not always accurate” is made.

Let us take the following examples

The astrology reading states “you will win from the lottery”.
You can only win IF you purchase a ticket; as the saying goes “no lottery ticket, no prize”.

The reading states – “You will get the job”.
Did you apply for it in the first place?

The reading states – “You will get married”.
Are you actively looking for a partner or just staying at home?

However, this inter-relationship can help you particularly when the astrology reading states that you are in a period of bad fate luck – this is a period of time when you make bad decisions and suffer the consequences. Your normal life can be improved dramatically by modifying aspects in the Earth and Man Lucks.

Can Governments be brought down by a single person (the blogger)?

1. We saw Brown’s Labour Government run into serious turbulence when the blogger “Guido Fawkes” publish an e-mail from the Prime Minister’s Office on smear stories.

2. In Malaysia, the ruling party (Barisan Nasional) of the last 50 years suffered a major loss of Parliamentary seats from a two-thirds majority to 72 seat majority in the 2008 election.

What prompted this major change?

Bloggers have been clarifying the opaqueness of the political situation which in turn has helped mobilise the opposition parties. The Government arrested one blogger – Raja Petra Kamarudin on “anti-terrorism laws” but these charges could not be justified in a court of law. It appears that Raja Petra is outside Malaysia and he blogs no more. However, other bloggers are keeping up the vigilance .

What is this New Order – the previously almighty Government being blown off course by a single person (the blogger).

This New Order being Social Media – the use of modern communication technology so that people can collect and share information. This leads to systems being open, random and supportive.

As a result, we get transparency – single persons have the power to disseminate “hidden” information so that the masses can ask the “right” questions.

Everyone has to adapt to survive as this is part of human evolution. In a Democratic system, the incumbent can be changed by voters and replaced with a new Government that has adapted to the change. For example, in the USA, Obama successfully used Social Media to raise funds and get votes in his Presidential campaign. And, Obama is still using it.

Feng Shui is a study of the space and time dimensions. It forecasts major structural changes in society including an increase in the collective power of the individual person.

Social Media – here we come.

The tale of 2 Greek Restaurants

“Location Location Location” is the mantra of many Property Experts. However, have they thought of the Feng Shui considerations?

Two Restaurants (Halapi Restaurant and Zorba Greek Restaurant) are located at either side of a parade of shops in Leinster Terrace in London.  From the standard business analysis, you would expect similar levels of business as they would have access to the same clientele. However, from the Feng Shui perspective, one restaurant has really good Feng Shui characteristics whereas the other, is poor.

Halapi Restaurant very cramped but full most nights with regulars. Such is the “pull” of the restaurant that people from many different countries make it a point to dine there whenever they are in London. As for Zorba Greek Restaurant, it has just closed its doors after many years of having poor business.

When selecting a property for business, a Feng Shui analysis will reveal whether good business can be carried out in this building or not. Let the buyer beware especially at these times of economic stringency. Had the owner of Zorba Restaurant sought Feng Shui comment, it would have not only saved him money, anguish and many years worth of time. Life would have been much more fulfilling and productive with a business in a different location.
