Book Review 4: Advanced Flying Star Feng Shui - Stephen Skinner

 

 


 It seems there is another cover of the same book out there, I can't be sure the information within it is the same, so this is about the book with the Image shown in here, not the other one, if there is another one.  I'm looking at the reviews in amazon...I think people are underestimating this specific book. If we dig into it carefully enough there is a lot that hasn't been mentioned in any other sources, yet seem very valid. Considering that, from me, it becomes a strong recommendation for everyone interested in Flying Star, as without it there will be important stuff that they won't know if working with English language books only(as most of us, likely are)..

So what is that then... Well, for one the table with conditions of the base star I haven't seen before, the different elements for the Stars when working outside the house, the position of the Stars in some unusual types of houses, the Stars as the outside forms and much more...

Overall, as far as the book goes in todays English based literature this is a must read for people interested in Flying Star, there is good chance there will be something they don't know, more then that its very likely there will be tons that they don't know in it and that is rare by itself, as most books repeat the same ideas.

The size... Well, we covered that in forums years ago, I'm happy with 10 pages book that has one revolutionary idea that truly changes our practice then 10,000 pages book with nothing new in it. If someone purely needs size they can always buy a  telephone book( "yellow pages") together with it for big enough country, they can be happy they have a very big book and at the same time buy something actually good for Feng Shui without worrying for its pages.

Overall, continue on the idea of books that are very important for specific system containing information not contained elsewhere in English(as far as I'm aware) this is definitely doing that for Flying Star and considering this can happily recommend it to people interested in Flying Star.

These are vast systems. There is often important details about them scattered around or not released to the West yet... We learn what we have available. As such that book is part of the front line of how far Flying Star Feng Shui gets.

Book Review 2: Xuan Kong Da Gua Not Exactly For Dummies - Hung Hin Cheong

Image
   Lets look into Xuan Kong Da Gua Not Exactly for Dummies by Hung Hin Cheong . This is one of the rare cases we have one of the high tier Feng Shui systems fully usable based on only one book. While there is probably more to know, much may be find in reference series, what is in here seems enough to get the system working with some effort. While all may seem incredible complex at first glance, if one goes slowly and systematically into it its base is simple enough. We have Qi moving from its Source(doors for rooms, meeting points of rivers for outside, highest points of staircases etc.) to its next point. Calculating the Hexagram for the 2 points we can see how they relate. Then we connect, furniture to doors and windows, doors of apartments to doors of building, that to its next Qi Mouth etc. That seems to be all we need to use the system. All that being said, from what we tested all this seems to work exactly as given. Yet we stumbled on few problems that aren't fault of th...

Book Review 1: Chinese Metaphysical Compendium

Image
Silly as it may seem, but as soon as we had a store that made ordering from other countries easy where I live this was in the first batch of books I bought.  Also seems a worthy first book to start the review blog I mentioned a while ago about. First have to clear out that this is Reference book, the idea is we know how to use the tables and calculations in it. If we don't know how to use the stuff in practice there are wonderful facebook videos from Joey Yap and his many students explaining in details different approaches and ideas and of course many other Five Arts practitioners in all sorts of formats and mediums all around the webs one may enjoy. I personally find Kevin Chan material very clear and useful, so for using any of this in practice aiming at that is good. Of course there are also courses and stuff, in the academy and other places.. Yet the base framework of it all is in here and its very, very pretty and useful, at least in my humble view. Its very big book, it cover...

Book 5: NLP Volume 1

Image
As there was the idea to add western books too, I will try to add stuff that I think is relevant to the Five Arts, at least initially. My primary direction of study has been, for a long time, channeled material, but before that I think I should cover some books that may explain why I use bazi in a different way then what one may be familiar with. And lets start with this nice book: https://www.amazon.com/Neuro-Linguistic-Programming-Structure-Subjective-Experience/dp/0916990079 So what is it... Well, its a math approach to how people interact with the world. The idea is we can view our "strategies" what we use to interact as a math formula.  For example someone asks us what was the color of a house we passed on the street yesterday. Now, the accessing cues are not something I have focused much on, so this is just an idea of what people use. They may see our eyes move to up and left, tension in the shoulders as we are accessing the Images we remember from the previous day, for...
