 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...
