mksay Posted May 14, 1999 Share Posted May 14, 1999 Dear Cecil, Robert and Glyn,Thanks for all the advice. I have thought about the Flying-Star a lot in the last couple of days, and I have a few questions.Q1: Is it okay to activate all the mountain stars found regardless of the sector (Sickness sector, Dispute sector, etc)?Q2: Are there any adverse effects if we try to activate a mountain star that is not there?Q3: Correct me if I were wrong. The way to activate the Mountain Star is to create a symbolic "mountain" in the sector.a. Should it be at high place?b. Besides putting a massive object (e.g. a paper-weight) on a shelf, could I hang a massive object on the wall instead?c. Does it matter if it isn't near a window?Q4: I have some glow-in-the-dark decorative stars. I thought of sticking them up on my ceiling / walls for decoration purpose, so that I could enjoy the "starry night" scene when I go to sleep. But then I hesitated as I wonder whether there is any Feng Shui significance in doing so, e.g. symbolizes always sleeping under the sky, like homeless people :) ??!! All comments welcome :)Q5: In my work-place, each of us has an open-cubicle. When we are sitting, we will have our backs facing each other, and people could walk around in the space between our backs. Somehow I felt uncomfortable about this, as if I didn't have any solid-support at my back. I then used some files and boxes to build up a "wall" at my back. Is that right?Q6: What are the effective ways to deal with overhead beam? (At times, I would have no choice but to sit under an overhead beam, and I learned this is bad.)Hehe, I feel embarrassed sometimes for asking so many questions *blush*Ta!Rose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Posted May 14, 1999 Share Posted May 14, 1999 Dear Rose,Feel free to ask questions here. Glyn, Robert and many users here are happyto learn from each other and what better way is through real-lifesituations. This will also help us fine tune our courses, books and repliesto bring it to a `higher' level.Personally, I have benefitted from the very frank questions put in by users.By asking questions, will also act as a catalyst for us to do furtherresearch into the subject and come up with more and more alternatives thatwe feel that are workable.As a pioneer of this Forum, I hope that it can continue with its mission ofproviding very frank answers and if it is not possible, provide as many`workable' alternatives to everyone. In short, Centre for Feng Shui Researchwants to do better and be called a Centre of Excellence for Feng ShuiResearch. It is a tall order, but, I believe, this forum will remainrelevant because it is virtually 100 flame free and thanks to users e.g. Eveand many others who help to answer questions.If any users have a different opinion or find that something had worked foryou, we are all ears:) Learning is a two way process and no one can claimthat he/she is `smarter' than others not even so called Feng Shui Masters.The approach in this Forum is, do not take our words but find out foryourself the rationale why someone said it this way or that way.You will be surprised to learn that the Great Feng Shui Masters of the pastdid not learn Feng Shui passed down from Masters but BOOKs.. Yes! Books!The common thing amongst them is that because they are well read, they arein a better position to understand all Feng Shui Schools and pick wisely ie.what is good and discard the rest.Compare this to a Feng Shui Master who only knows a particular school. He /She will certainly say that what he / she studied is the BEST!This is why some Traditional Feng Shui Masters today are in a `fix'. Theyhave been telling their students to discard the Eight House Theory. Someeven modify the Eight House Theory and found that it did not work for them.Therefore, they and their followers thus conceed that the Eight House Theoryis not workable. This is not TRUE!In the past, such Feng Shui Masters can get away with it. But with today'swell read people who had `picked' up Feng Shui, these FS Masters have tofind another story or admit that the Eight House is still one of the mostpopular methods used.Recently, I have seen a few forum where a few people `dare' to pose such achallenge to FS Masters that say `bad things' about the Eight House. SuchMasters who only practise one school cannot simply compete with others whoknow not only their school but many other schools. I feel the days of suchFS Masters are "numbered." Many people can see for themselves and judgewhat is workable and not.Sorry for the `side track.'The only request I ask is that you do not post a `Thank You' note althoughit is polite to do so but because many users here subscribe to a mailinglist and you can understand that we want to keep to the minimum`unnecessary' mails.Hope you understand.As your message is very long, I will try to answer some and get back to youon those that I had `missed out'.-----Original Message-----From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'flying-star' suppressed suppressed>Date: Friday, May 14, 1999 2:44 PMSubject: Activating the Mountain Stars Quote From: "Rose Say" This message is sent from "flying-star" Mailing List.Dear Cecil, Robert and Glyn,Thanks for all the advice. I have thought about the Flying-Star a lot inthe last couple of days, and I have a few questions.Q1: Is it okay to activate all the mountain stars found regardless of thesector (Sickness sector, Dispute sector, etc)? Where is the mountain star?The mountain star can only be activated e.g. if there is a wall on thatsector. This wall is thus considered the mountain. If it is an open window,I am afraid, you should not call this wall a `mountain'.Therefore, a mountain in a house is equal to = the wall. This is the reasonwhy you can place a cupboard against the wall and place a soild objectthere. Quote Q2: Are there any adverse effects if we try to activate a mountain starthat is not there? There are two types of stars. A mountain star and a water star. When thereis a water star, this means that you should keep the place clear e.g. thefront of the house.What about the mountain star? If there is no mountain star, even if youplace a solid object it will not work for the person.Often many people are in serious trouble if they place lots of objects at aparticular location without knowning e.g. their main element and itsstrength. This may result in an imbalance!For example, if you are already a person of Strong Earth and yet, you placea brick (representing the mountain star) in the Fire or Earth location, thismay inadvertenly increase your Fire or Earth element creating even largerimbalance to the individual. This may result in health or competitiveproblems.The best advise is not to keep the location or home simple. Do not applyexcessive self cures. If not sure, consult a proper FS practioner. Quote Q3: Correct me if I were wrong. The way to activate the Mountain Star isto create a symbolic "mountain" in the sector.a. Should it be at high place?b. Besides putting a massive object (e.g. a paper-weight) on a shelf,could I hang a massive object on the wall instead?c. Does it matter if it isn't near a window? As mentioned earlier, you should look at the wall on that sector or imagineit as a `mountain'. Here it is not difficult to visualise the wall `acting'as a mountain. Ideally, you should have a display shelf or at that locationand place the solid mass at the location. Alternatively, you can buy thosescrew on book shelves at any D.I.Y. stores and fix this shelf on the wall.Some FS practioners will bring along their Feng Shui ruler and help youdetermine the height of the shelf. Others simply ask you to judge foryourself and use a `reasonable' height you feel comfortable with. Both areacceptable.In case you go out and buy a FS ruler, let me `warn' you that there are asmany as four or more versions of the Imperial Carpenter ruler sold in Taiwanor Hong Kong! So, if after reading this and you find it not practical to usethe FS ruler, I agree with you. Use your intuition or six sense here:) Quote Q4: I have some glow-in-the-dark decorative stars. I thought of stickingthem up on my ceiling / walls for decoration purpose, so that I could enjoythe "starry night" scene when I go to sleep. But then I hesitated as Iwonder whether there is any Feng Shui significance in doing so, e.g.symbolizes always sleeping under the sky, like homeless people :) ??!! Allcomments welcome :)Frankly, such decorations are not documented in Feng Shui. If you feelcomfortable with it why not? But the caution is that the pointed stars may become sha or poison arrow.Please give some thought to this. Maybe a cresent shaped moon or half-moonor quarter moon and the cow flying over it is a better alternative? Here youcan count cows or better still hang sheep? Quote Q5: In my work-place, each of us has an open-cubicle. When we aresitting, we will have our backs facing each other, and people could walkaround in the space between our backs. Somehow I felt uncomfortable aboutthis, as if I didn't have any solid-support at my back. I then used somefiles and boxes to build up a "wall" at my back. Is that right? Well, this is acceptable as you have `symbollically' created for yourself asmall hill. Frankly, in the past, Feng Shui did not go into such details ormost likely not encountered in the past. So, this is one person's opinionagainst another. Quote Q6: What are the effective ways to deal with overhead beam? (At times, Iwould have no choice but to sit under an overhead beam, and I learned thisis bad.)Here, if your home or office permits, the well known technique is to hangtwo bamboo flutes to form the top profile of a Ba Guae.g. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Overhead Beam/\/\/\ Quote Flute 1 Flute2Here you find that the two bamboo flutes are slanted such that they form theprofile of the Ba Gua.Hehe, I feel embarrassed sometimes for asking so many questions *blush*As mentioned, feel free to post questions:)Warmest Regards,Cecil --> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mksay Posted May 14, 1999 Share Posted May 14, 1999 Mountain Star question continued...1. There are two walls at right angle. One is a solid wall while the other is with a window. Would it be effective to activate the Mountain Star with the solid wall, although the window wall is nearby.2. Does it matter what is behind the solid wall, e.g. if the toilet is behind the solid wall?brgds,Rose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Robert Lee Posted May 22, 1999 Staff Share Posted May 22, 1999 Dear Rose,Please read below:- Quote On 5/14/99 6:43:25 PM, Anonymous wrote:Mountain Star questioncontinued...1. There are two walls atright angle. One is a solidwall while the other is with awindow. Would it be effectiveto activate the Mountain Starwith the solid wall, althoughthe window wall is nearby. So long as the backing of the Mountain Star is a solid wall, it is ok. You cannot activate the Mountain Star if there is a windows below or very near the wall which you are trying to put the obtain with mass. Quote 2. Does it matter what isbehind the solid wall, e.g. ifthe toilet is behind the solidwall? Nope. So long as there is a wall, because what that wall itself is like a mountain. Solid foundation.Warmest RegardsRobert Lee Quote brgds,Rose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
