I Wonder

I wonder if the New Age revolution can harm Chinese Metaphysics

I wonder if people will ever stop paying thousands of dollars for a Feng Shui audit

I wonder if Eva Wong will ever come clean

I wonder if people will ever find the strength and confidence to rely on themselves

I wonder what the Chinese metaphysical field will be like in 20 years

I wonder if Lao Tzu (Zi) really existed

I wonder why people say Qi Men Dun Jia is more powerful than other I Ching methods

I wonder if people really believe Feng Shui can work the way it is presented today

I wonder if the so-called masters will ever stop lying

I wonder if there is any difference between a saint and a sinner

I wonder if the New Age charlatans really believe in karma

I wonder how many true masters there really are in the world

I wonder if Yap Chang Hai will live to be 100 years old

I wonder if anyone will ever translate Shao Yung's entire work in English

I wonder if there is even a single sage alive today

I wonder if astrologers/diviners will ever concentrate on studies rather than advertising or promotion

I wonder if Sylvia Browne believes half the stuff she says

I wonder if people will ever recognize the importance of the solstices

I wonder if the public will ever wake up to the antics of Lillian Too and Joseph Yu

I wonder if there will ever be another Osho

I wonder if the computer will take over Chinese metaphysics too

I wonder if Joey Yap's luck will keep continuing

I wonder if the I Ching will ever gain its due respect and recognition

I wonder why people think metaphysicians are spiritual

I wonder if Alfred Huang is 100 years old yet

I wonder why Carl Jung got so much credit for understanding the I Ching

I wonder when the masses will wake up

I wonder if the masses will ever wake up

I wonder where the eagle flies, when the path it roams eludes my eye

I wonder if anyone will understand this post

Hi Andy,

It's a "Wonder full" life for us all if we keep wondering and not trying to do anything to make things happen:-)

I am building my I Ching hexagram tree to the 15th yao because I was wondering if I could see any connection after I finish building it. So far I have done 160/512 pages.

best regards,
Peter Leung

Hello Peter -

Very nicely put. I agree. If we all stop trying to make things happen we will live in a splendid Wonderland.

The hexagram tree to the 15th yao is beyond impressive. I wonder if anyone understands the significance of such a feat. I am certain that if anyone can be able to see the connection it will be you. Your dedication to your studies is amazing. Your hexagram tree is enriched with the finest nutrients and loyalty :-) It is certain to produce great fruit.

Wishing You The Best
Andy

Hi Andy,

I wonder whether you are going to repost the findings regarding the calendar calculation problem in Mei Hua Yi Shu.

I have a little question but first I would like to say I do not know Mei Hua Yi Shu.

I am just curious why there are several methods of calculation in Mei Hua Yi Shu. I thought Mei Hua Yi Shu is about using whatever occurrences that happen at the time for divination.

Can you please share your thoughts on this?

Regards,
Clyde

Hi Clyde -

It is unlikely that I will repost the calculation problems of the Mei Hua Yi Shu (Plum Blossom). To explain fully the proper way to use it would mean that there would be a chance of someone taking that information and claiming it as their own and try to profit from it. It has already happened at least one other time as you may or may not know. I don't mind sharing, and I don't even mind people stealing my stuff but I don't like it when they try to profit from what they have stolen.


To answer your question, Plum Blossom can involve the process of using occurances and then turning the occurances into trigrams for further analysis. The reason there are several workable calculation methods is because of resonance. In calendrical terms, one may use the lunar, solar, western, etc, calendars and they can all work as long as one doesn't stray too far from the main principles involved in the system you're working with. When you start mixing apples with oranges you make things more complicated. The best way is to find a method that is both rooted in principle and also comfortable for you and use that method to the point where it becomes part of your conciousness. It is better than bouncing from method to method.

Best Wishes
Andy
