When William Blake wrote, “To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower,” he was reflecting on the holographic concept of the universe where each part of the whole contains the complete information that reflects the whole.
In practice, this means that everything we observe on one scale can be translated to a smaller or larger scale.
As we have said, everything has three aspects: matter, Chi energy, and information. In previous posting, we discussed the quantity and quality of the Four Features, and the effects of those features on human life.
The Four Features themselves are not only physical features but also metaphors for human living.
18: Ideal Four Features Model
The ideal Feng Shui setting requires that the Four Features – Mountain, Guardian Hills, Energy Spot, and Water – have balanced quantity, good quality, and ideal coordination.
17: Understanding the Four Features
Feng Shui study is the study of the quality, quantity, and the coordination, of the Four Features: Mountains, Water, Flat Land (Energy Spot), and Guardian Hills. Let’s discuss the quality and quantity of these features.
16: Form School Design Model – The Four Features
“Form defines energy, energy manifests information” is the guiding concept of Form School Feng Shui.
When we talk about form, let’s begin with the big picture of form – our planet Earth.
14: Does Good Luck Come From “the Blowing of Wind And the Flowing of Water”?
When Chinese people talk about Feng Shui, we often hear the phrase: “Feng sheng shui qi hao yun lai,” roughly translated it means “Good Luck comes with the blowing of wind and the flowing of water”. Somehow this saying sounds convincing in Chinese, but from the Feng Shui point of view the opposite is closer to being true.
We often think of Feng Shui in terms of the environment, what is outside and around us. Even though we may be aware that Feng Shui applies to every level of manifestation, from the smallest to the largest, it is still easy to miss a very important application that is very close to home, each and every person.
In Form School feng shui, mountain and water are the two key features of the Four-Feature model that is used in analysis and design. (The Four Features are Mountain, Water, Guardian Hills, and Energy Spot. These constitute the keys to interpreting the energetic composition of any structure.)
