Starting new initiative for Open Vedic Tarot deck, we will develop it here: https://openvedictarot.blogspot.com/ Already started with the First Card that will be for House 1. Feel free to participate, be that with ideas, suggestions or with cards made yourself(or with the nearby friendly AIs out there). The cards may be revised and polished through time, so this is just the initial step, of course.   2.Jan.2026 - This project is removed for now. Not a lot of interest and I get it, while I think it can be useful to have this cards, in todays technology everyone can just make their own cards, probably better anyway. That should be the right way to approach it as well, so no point going into mine at this point.  Although technically the main reason for removing it is that Blogger doesn't seem to support hosting images in a useful way, anymore... And doesn't make much sense to host them on the site, can just add blog there if this was the idea. 

 Its interesting if we read materials about what is known officially about other civilizations out there(or within). There are countless channelings out there and if one digs into them seriously enough, almost all of them(good ones , anyway) present very similar structure it all operates on. There is the actual Cosmic Day, as called in the Hinduism. That is one day of the experience of the Source, the Wheel with the 12 Co-Creators in parts of theosophy we call "Source" is what in Hinduism they called Krishna it seems. Personality aspect of Source. That has created its playground where it wants to learn something with us. Each day has its own Theme, something it deeply wants to learn about.  That "domain" much larger then all we are familiar with has smaller domains where another Creator has made their own game to play. One of those, the "physical existence" is where most of us are supposedly situated.   So we have the big bubble, the Spiritual Dimensions i...

 Initiations and the Keeper of the Threshold The words here may mislead a little. We will call this Initiations, as some others do, others have also called them Illuminations, Levels of Consciousness and other things. If one views that Earth , similar to a school, its offering specific experiences and understanding for the Souls that are born here. We can say that the main division of grades  that are easy to see are 3. Similar to a school, the students in first, second and third grade learn entirely different material. They do come to the same building. They interact with the same people, teachers and other students, but what they are actually learning is vastly different. The idea here is that Initiations work in a very similar way for the overall Earth experience. In understanding physical existence there can be said are 12 major "grades" or points of view, one can view it from. 3 of them have been offered on Earth for a very long time. With 3 more, still offered here, but...

 People from the reddit group are doing wonderful work and I should mention it here as well. if someone interested in WWG hasn't so far seen it, its here:  https://www.reddit.com/r/Sixlinesdivination/

 I recommended Neverending story(if possible, not in English) in the other blog with book reviews. In my humble view, in there we have the path of creating something laid out much more clearly then in any other place I know. Why would that be there, one may wonder. And I think he just made a perfect presentation of how Imagination works and how we interact with it, with the focus(in the second part) of how one writes a book. It just happens that it was so good, that it perfectly fits into how one creates anything, much beyond just a book.   Lets look then at the story of the lion and the sword. I won't use names, as I don't want to post them from the English version and I don't know them in the German one.  So just the outlines of the story. As soon as the main character start to create their own story, after giving it a name, they end up in a desert. And meet a lion. The lion can go very far, but the desert moves with him and all turns to dust. In my humble view, this po...

Very happy to announce our first GitHub repository here: https://github.com/Gmuli/Gmuli-Bazi-Calc/  

 Lets say a co-worker has a birthday soon. We want to get them a present, but we don't know them that well. So we ask the system: "What does X think about turtles?" Problem now is that there is always some chance that X doesn't really have a clear defined position regarding turtles. They have seen turtles, sure maybe even interacted with some, yet never had a reason to define their relation so clearly as to be able to be shown in a line. People often ask "what does X think about me" it seems. Yet in some cases X would not have a clear idea of what they think about most people. As they never had a reason to define it. So what happens when we ask then?What do X think about turtles according to the system if they have never thought about it, yet we look for clear answer? Easy to think the system will just present Void line. They have no position regarding turtles. That is not what happens, in my view, as if that was the case most answers would be void lines... ...

A while ago when we were strongly focused on WWG I got the impression that one of the things people didn't really get is how the "Setting" work. AK presented very interesting way of using that that explained a lot for me back then, yet I get the impression the majority of the researchers didn't really get what that was or how to use it. So lets go into it one more time, few years later, as not much has changed, the material there is still very good and needed, no matter what else may have happened meanwhile... So lets present a simple example. Someone ate our potato salad at work.  We suspect our boss did. So we ask - "Did my boss eat my salad?" We receive Zhen on top of Kun as Hexagram16. There are countless ways to read that, so lets say we decided to use Mei Hua to read it initially(so trigram Images). Here we can rightly say - Zhen can show a leader, head of something, so yes, my boss indeed eat my salad!As Kun  can carry images of Earth, potatoes are gr...

There are few different directions I wanted to address here.   1. One was for app/website that was suppose to show easy visualization for acupuncture points and meridians. That was scrapped, but will explain why, great potential there if someone has the time to spend here can be very beneficial for the community I think. 2. Another is we started ordering some good Five Arts books from a new store in my country that allows easier access to books in other languages. The plan is to start posting  reviews, maybe in another blog, will see.Will try to be objective for the material, but in general the idea is only books that I like, if I don't like them will just not mention them, so we keep a positive vibe overall. : ) 3.The final thing, is about 8 mansions. In the webs there are the advanced techniques of it, Specifically here:  https://xkfs.art/2023/05/22/full-spectrum-8-mansion-including-scoring-method/ (to be fair one may still need the heavenly star Feng Shui tutorial...

 There is a lot more material about 8 mansions now and I think we can see much of how the system is used in practice. With that it seems that the whole 4 group of beneficial influences, may be coming from something else.More time would be needed to place them I assume.  But the"less beneficial" group seems to be very much on point. So lets expand there! So in there we have 4 : Wu Gui (五鬼) Liu Sha (六煞) Huo Hai (祸害) Jue Ming (绝命)  And this 4 seems to fit very well to what we know, so good time to go more into them.  First interesting idea is that depending how well a house field is doing, they take different meaning. House field, meaning the state of the house overall. We can say how good the "feng shui" is, as well. For example we mentioned Jue Ming - as closeness vs Liu Sha - as openess to people.  This is somewhere in the middle, for a house that is working somewhat well, though not great. If we have to go from worse to spiritual levels/best may go like this: ...

 Made a replacing software that helps with translation of Five Arts texts. To synchronize checked a chapter from DTS 《滴天髓阐微》 , that I was wondering about before. Will post the result. Don't take it too seriously, its just a surface thing, to test the software.   Not sure it will make it online, however, as the code has security problems, even though it does its job well enough, so far. : ) Sources for the original text: https://www.8bei8.com/ https://ctext.org/   《滴天髓阐微》上篇第10章 形象 Chapter 10 of the first part of Drops of Heavens Essence.  Image 两气合而成象，象不可破也。 The two qi combine to form an image , and the image should not be broken . 原注：天干屬木，地支屬火，天干屬火，地支屬木，其象則一。若見金水則破，餘仿此。 Original note: The heavenly stem belongs to wood, the earthly branches belong to fire or the heavenly stem belongs to fire, the earthly branches belong to wood, and their symbols are one. If you see metal or water, image will break, and the rest will be like this. 任氏曰：两气双清，非独木火二形也，如土金、金水、水木，木...

 Lets try to go over the ideas of the 8 mansions addition from before, in more details this time. : ) So the base idea is there are axis. 3 axis for each level, Heaven, Human, Earth so axis in 3rd line of each trigram, axis in 2nd line of each Trigram and at the 1st line. What does that mean... Lets look at Jue Ming. That is considered the most "unfriendly" influence. The definition we will use here is the way its explained in Kevin Chan videos: https://www.youtube.com/@KevinChanBazi Reason for that is... Well, no where else there is explanation what it is. It just say to avoid it or that it causes disasters, but how it does that becomes important.So now we know its related to people(middle line of each trigram) and it shows someone cutting off connection to people. Lone wolf, kinda thing. That, as far as lines go, is calculated by taking the Trigram of the person and changing the middle line. If we say the person trigram is Qian, it would look like this.  Jue Ming: ▅▅▅▅▅▅ ...

 Working with metaphysical systems from all around the world for a long time now, and one notices there is tendency for people to go... Unstable. When learning more then one(depending on other factors for some happens even with just one). In my understanding the reason that happens, main one anyway, is connected to how our nervous system processes language. And that is studied in great depth in NLP. Yet if we look at many NLP practitioners, saying they are more stable, seems silly as well. So what is happening here...  Well, in my view it was always fully given at Korzybskis work. But he was overlooked, people kept repeating "the map is not the territory" and never really figured out what it means in enough depth, to keep all that knowledge well aligned to their nervous system and stay relatively fine with it.  The base idea is in the first levels from our interactions, aren't suppose to be words.  First are events, that is beyond our knowledge and it has to be silen...

 That is continuation of  "Heaven's Heart the Rays and the Logos of old". It seems good idea, to attempt to explain in an easy way what exactly is 'channeling'. If we look at what is accepted as "channeling" in the metaphysical literature, it can be confusing, sometimes. At some point one can see messages from all sorts of beings, from "galactic councils" to other civilizations called Hators/Pleiadians and many others. So easy to think - ok its kinda getting messages from space in some way, or at least they think so. But then we look more into it and see there is other stuff. There are channelings of wolfs, of dolphins and whales and all sorts of very familiar to us creatures that doesn't need to go too far to meet. On top of that we can see changelings of people long gone from Earth(Merlin etc.) To understand how that happens(and I'm not saying it happens everytime someone say it does, but in my view in some amount of cases it does) an...

 Standstill. "Nine in the fourth place means: He who acts at the command of the highest Remains without blame. The time of standstill is nearing the point of change into its opposite. Whoever wishes to restore order must feel himself called to the task and have the necessary authority. A man who sets himself up as capable of creating order according to his own judgment could make mistakes and end in failure. But the man who is truly called to the task is favored by the conditions of the time, and all those of like mind will share in his blessing." I really like that in the I Ching there is sometimes the idea that standstill doesn't end on its own. It needs someone to provide his own inner order for it to be able to become whole again. It seems to fit to how it happens in reality. Fourth changing line is interesting. It provides difference between order that is imposed by personality/judgment and order that is called on by something else. It suggests when someone comes to ...

 Heaven's Heart the Rays and the Logos of old. This is the idea to be a continuation of the Southern Bazi post. I will present the idea of Rays as they are used in metaphysical systems all over the Earth and will try to explain why I think that the branches are the observable effect of the rays. Now, Five Arts are very detailed and practical, would recommend always using the branches and then when comfortable with that can add other definitions to them. The Rays are not defined perfectly, in my view, there is another thing that could be used in combination with them(more on that later), but for start should always begin with Branches Images, as that is most accurate to how they unfold in the world around us. The Rays are usually defined as evolutionary information coming from the Sun. Received from the Galactic Core(Hunab Ku). And received by Galactic Core by higher level of wholeness, that are not so important here now, yet someday we may go into. That is like... Well, lets say we...

 Lately, I think I'm starting to understand how it all fits, better...  As before I was missing the point. Five Arts systems.. They work in an awesome way, yet I couldn't understand what they map out. To say it another way, what is changing every 10 days also every 12 days and every 60 years etc. Wasn't movement of the planets. Wasn't Sun spots or cycles that I was aware of. Was something else and back then I guessed it was Sacred Geometry stuff. Now have gone much into that and I think I know now. What are stems and branches, what is the physical difference of later and early heaven, how the house Geometries interact with the 4 Pillars exactly and how that relates to the meridians in the body and more... And with that some answers to old questions crystallize and I will go into some of that now and more later. Yet its very complex to go into, we talk about 'many dozens of hours of video material to understand' type of complex... So for now I will just go on a s...

Feng Shui expose has started posting about bazi. They are here: https://www.youtube.com/fengshuiexpose Althought this was in facebook. They did very interesting work with Flying Star some time ago in youtube, it was awesome material, just never got practically useful enough for apartment Feng Shui for us, to mention it before. But it was definitily great material. Now moving to bazi, there were some ideas there that I wanted to post my own view on. As facebook doesn't allow meaningful conversations, lately, will do it here. : ) I like the idea that DM can be seen as what the personality/essence of the person is interacting from. Like Jia carring, in some cases, the idea of 'rightousness', basically thinking they 'know' what is right. There are many other ideas with it of course,but lets view this. Then Yin comes in the chart, physical view to Jia. More material form, so can represent the physical body, whatever happens with Yin may relate to the physical body of the...

8 Mansions(part 1) The first post we will begin with, will be about 8 mansions/houses. To understand this some knowledge of both Yi Jing and of 8 mansions/houses can be helpful. 8 mansions/houses is simple Feng Shui system that is very popular today. It assigns a Trigram/Gua/Number to a person based on their year of birth and then it provides 8 directions based on that that will have different impact on them. We can find out what Gua we are around the net, as the calculations are very easy and there aren't many variations doesn't seem that calculator is needed, right now.  While there are schools out there that has gone in great depth in how it works, how it connects to other systems and other wonderful parts of it, when it comes to 'why' it works the way it does, there was something I felt missing in all explanation I have found so far. This will be purely theoretical, only focusing on why the Trigram of the person becomes that 8 directions/trigrams after the change, ...
