Feng Shui is about finding a good place and recognising a bad place.<br />
A good place is somewhere to live or work and a bad place is a place<br />
where you should not stay too long.<br />
Feng Shui Outside<br />
Humans are like other animals as<br />
we all have senses. Animals know<br />
where to live, for instance,<br />
somewhere safe and where they can find<br />
food and water. They do not need to read<br />
books and learn from someone else. The<br />
only one they learn from is their mother<br />
who teaches them how to find food. The<br />
father is usually too busy taking care of<br />
himself or defending against other<br />
predators and apart from that he is lazy.<br />
People are different from animals,<br />
though, because we can learn and study.<br />
When we learn and study we have a lot<br />
of information, but sometimes this makes<br />
us confused and lost. So we should focus<br />
on one subject, usually one which we like<br />
the most, and develop it.<br />
In Feng Shui we have a lot of<br />
knowledge and information, but<br />
we must still have very good<br />
senses like other animals.<br />
A lot of times we will<br />
already know if a place<br />
is good or bad even<br />
before we pick up a<br />
compass to check<br />
things. Today, there<br />
are also many<br />
different styles or<br />
schools of Feng Shui<br />
and they can conflict with each other.<br />
I have seen many Feng Shui<br />
masters who do not have very good luck<br />
and results. This is because they have<br />
become confused by so much knowledge<br />
that they are lost and can easily make<br />
the wrong judgements. The worse thing<br />
are those Feng Shui masters who just<br />
want to make money. These kind of<br />
masters will tell you that you need to<br />
change something even if your house<br />
was originally good. After the changes,<br />
when things become bad, they say it is<br />
because of your bad karma.<br />
It is just like a doctor who at first<br />
just wants to fix your problems. But<br />
because you come to see him so many<br />
times, he makes more money and so<br />
the more slowly he will treat you. People<br />
like this forget that the doctor’s role is to<br />
help the patients get well as soon as<br />
possible and not to make money out of<br />
