Feng Shui Display

[myfs_2659]

I am confused after readingthe discussion on buying Feng Shui objects and its effectiveness . There are so many well-known FS experts and their websites are selling all sorts of items. How do we tell which is real and which is not ?

Example. hang a display of 9 gold fishes ( 8 gold and 1 black), is this effective and what does it help ?

Example. Putting "Wealth of God" statueat certain direction or corner . Is this FS ?

Example, if I am weak Earth person and I wear more item of "Earth" element , does it help and is this FS ?

Thank u for your time.

Dear Anthony,

1. The basis of so-called Feng Shui website selling products is simple: Feng Shui has become too comercialised.

2. Unfortunately, to the consumer, we end up paying so much for products in the name-sake of "Feng Shui".

3. The clue here is that many sites or owners of these sites decided to sell such products because of the huge / exhorbitant profits that can be made of the "lay person" or anyone guillible enough to buy them.

4. For example: a three-legged toad figurine can easily be made in China for less than US$20 dollars. But, is sold in the market for as much as US$288 to as much as US$588 dollars.

5. Thus, 7 years back, I coined issues like this as " CREDIT CARD FENG SHUI".

6. Many people are already in debt e.g. roll-over credit on their credit card but yet; they got "conned" into buying these products.

7. And in-fact, a few years back, there was this posting on the internet from a very unhappy ex-husband. Who had no choice but to divorce his wife because she (quietly without his knowledge) spent all her savings buying or (got conned) into buying "Feng Shui products".

8. If a Feng Shui product is that good. Then how come it does not come with a guarantee card. For example: The purchaser of ABC's God of Fortune would be guaranteed that within 6 weeks of purchasing it, will be guaranteed a winfall else, you can return it to the shop and get both a refund and interest rebate. Did any of these shops do this? YES/NO?

9. In my opinion, these people (who sell such products) don't pity those in distress. They not only do not help them, but in-fact, lead them into greater debt! The seller continues to become wealthly at our expense! (FULL STOP).

10. If one evaluate many Feng Shui sites or authors, one may perhaps realise that when they started off, most likely (in my opinion) they are geniune in providing a service. But selling products is like a strong magnet; and these people (I believe) find it more fruitful to make huge profits.

11. Just take a look at all the product offerings. And one can realise that profit margins are huge in the name-sake of "Feng Shui".

12. In the next installment, I will explain why products should be treated more as a decorative item much like any other decorations.

13. Imagine this, prior to commercialisation of Feng Shui, very few people (unless they are crazy enough) to endow their homes with silly decorative items like God of Wealth, Chi-lin etc...

14. In fact, many rich people other than finding a good home site, did little to place such things as figurines etc... in their homes. Only the silly fools are enticed into it.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Further to what I had mentioned, the key to understanding "LUCK" in Geomancy is the Holy Trinity of Luck:

Here:

1. Heaven Luck (day we were born) - what we are suppose to be born with.

2. Earth Luck or Home or office Feng Shui.

3. Human (Man) Luck

1. HEAVEN LUCK

Some people are born with a silver spoon thus, we say that they have a very good Heaven Luck (or excellent Ba zi)

2. EARTH LUCK

Others gain significantly from a good or excellent home. Many of these homes have a "quantum leap" in Feng Shui. And money literally pour in because of the good Feng Shui coming from their earth homes (earth luck).

3. BOTH generally can be considered as "Money falling out of the sky to these luck people"

Many people consult Geomancers is to try to help improve their earth luck.

4. A SALOON CAR OR AN MPV?

Can we improve our earth luck? YES / NO?

We can draw a parallel of our homes to a specific car or model.

For example, if our house or apartment is not so fantastic i.e. our home is equal to a 9 year old 1,000 cc car.

We all know that no matter how, even if there is a miracle, a 1,000 cc car cannot or can-NEVER turn into a Porche or Rolls Royce or even a Mercedes benz 2,000 cc car.

In addition, imagine, we have a family of 7 members. And if our car is only a normal saloon car. It is not possible for us to squeeze all family members into this small saloon car. Other than to tie one member onto the roof, place another into the boot and tie another member to the front of the bonnet.

If we have 7 family members, than we should consider purchasingsay a 7 sitterMPV like Toyota Picnic or Mitsubishi Grandeur etc...

3. HUMAN OR MAN LUCK

Actually, this luck is "FREE". What is most important here is good family bonding and relationships.

A good family relationship can transcend any plight or issues.

Sometimes, even if a home does not have good or fantastic Feng Shui, a good family unit or bonding can infact rise up the luck of these people.

For example, many people need not be filthy rich but they are rich in their hearts and minds. In fact, filthy rich people have their own unhappiness. Thus the saying " MONEY CANNOT BUY HAPPINESS".

4. ABUSE OF THE HUMAN LUCK FACTOR

Many people understand that they can try to induce a feeling of getting others to buy products. And because of the commercialisation of Feng Shui, many of these people ended up, trying to squeeze as much money or hard earned money from all of us.

Thus, these people give "hope" or rather "false hope" to many people to buy products, enrich the sellers pockets and buring a large hole in ours.

And this category of so called "Human Luck" in my opinion, can be considered as ONE of the most important ILL's since 1980's to the unknowing.. enticing them to buy these useless products.
