NOT LIKE INSTANT NOODLES


See the lovely orchids that I am posing with in the above picture. They were grown by my school principal, Puan Siti Arfah. The orchids did not grow overnight but took months and months of patience and care before the flowers start to bloom. Watering the plants alone might not produce the results. One must know what type of fertiliser to put, the amount of water and sunlight the plant needs. Then there is a period of time where one needs to patiently wait for the plant to absorb the nutrients and then for it to bear flowers.

Similarly, Feng Shui works the same way. One just cannot expect overnight results after placing certain cures, activators or amulets. Unlike instant noodles, there needs to be a certain amount of time for it to work. My Feng Shui teacher told me that the fastest time for the activators to work is about 7 days but the wait can be as long as 49 days. There are also cases where the activators and cures don't work at all. There might be other factors in play which only the Feng Shui masters would be able to identify. Another thing one cannot simply put a water feature in the North sector just because one read somewhere that putting such a feature in that direction would boost wealth luck. One might also need to look at Flying Star Feng Shui to see if one can put a water feature in the North for that particular year. Sometimes strengthening a certain position with an element for that particular position might amplify the power of an inauspicious star. Then instead of getting all the good things, one is zapped with a double dose of the bad. We can also buy lots of Feng Shui items (which are supposed to give our luck a boost) but by just placing them in a so called auspicious corner of our house/office and not doing anything about it, do you think that whatever type of luck that we are hoping for would drop down like manna from heaven? Another thing is not all Feng Shui activators and cures are really what the companies selling them claim them to be. Sometimes, some pebbles, a plant, a bowl of water, some keys and a crystal would do the trick. Why want to waste money, when Feng Shui could be as cheap and as simple as that.
Mention must also be made the Ba Zi affecting ones fortunes. This is what we call Heaven Luck. Not everyone is born with the Ba Zi to become a king or a multi-millionaire. Even someone who is born on the same day, same time and same place with Bill Gates might not become as rich as he. Afterall there can only be one richest man in the world. Maybe the other guy might be rich as well but not until the magnitude of Gates. Other factors like palm lines, physiognomy and Feng Shui of the place that they live in would come into play.
Last but not least is the person himself or herself. He or she might be born with excellent Ba Zi and live in a location where the Feng Shui is superb but if no effort comes from them, then all the Heaven Luck and Earth Luck would not account to much. After all, we are captains of our own fates, masters of our own destinies.
In conclusion, after I have had my say about the matter I do hope that everyone does not put ALL their hopes on Feng Shui in making things work for them. The real activator, the real cure inducer and the miracle worker is YOU!!!
