Lin Yun: your path through life

If a Lin Yun consultant visits your house, chances are he or she will follow a certain pattern through your house. This path is inspired by the Tibetan mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum.

This mantra is seen as probably the most powerful mantra and means:

‘Oh, Magnificent Jewel in the Lotus Flower’.

The mantra is considered to be so powerful that Chinese rule has forbidden Tibetans to use it, much like the Japanese were once forbidden to use ‘Kiai’.

Lin Yun’s Ba gua is meant to be a relative diagram of the Chinese compass, or an intuitive approach of Time and Space.

 A Lin Yun consultation may follow these positions respectively:

Center - Family - Wealth - Helpful People - Children - Knowledge - Fame - Career - Marriage

Its Tantric-Buddhist roots show your path through life. Black Hat should be taken in this manner, not taken as a form of Feng Shui.

Center As a child you are completely central and dependent. The central position is associated with Tao. You are completely dependent on your parents for food, cloths and warmth.

Family You are born into a family. Family here meaning parents, siblings, relatives, teachers, society.

Wealth Has little or nothing to do with finances. For Chinese and other Asian peoples having many kids (sons) was a sign for wealth. In modern branches of Feng Shui, Wealth is associated with money. Wealth means that you are being born into a large family. Many hands can harvest much. Wealth means having strong Human Qi. Strong Qi is healthy and points to the ability of working hard and have swift reaction to opportunity. That’s why this location is also referred to as the Power area.
Strong Qi leads to the ability to work hard and this leads to wealth.

Helpful People As you grow older you will become less dependent of your parents for care. Your environment can help to provide you with food, safety, guidance. Northwest is associated with harvest, support.
This support comes from siblings.

Children You are old enough to learn skills to adjust to others and your environment. It is the period of ‘joy’ and ‘amazement’ and you are allowed to play. It is also the sector for vision and evaluation. You are evaluating the past and your future.

Knowledge In order to manifest later in life, education becomes necessary: the following period you will start building up exact knowledge and go to school. This sector also points to our inner – esoteric - knowledge.

Fame Slowly your position within the community has become more important. Whether you become own boss or work for an employer, in the end it is all a matter of how people perceive you. Are you known for your skills, how are your character traits. Are your skills and personal traits helping you build up a strong future.

Career You have become fully independent and have chosen your own contribution to society. Career is associated with Water and kidneys and bladder. These organs control sexuality, the reproductive system.

Marriage You became sexually mature and are now ready for marriage and your own ‘Family’. A full cycle is completed here.

The Human Factor

Again, all Oriental esoteric systems combine Heaven Luck, Man Luck and Earth Luck. Human Qi is very strong as people can choose to either co-operate with Heaven Luck and Earth Luck and maintain or restore balance, or they can choose to produce chaos.

Human Luck includes:

-  Positive, neutral and negative action and thoughts
-  Sheng Qi and Sha Qi coming from body, mind and action
-  Affirmations, intuition, vision
-  Diet and exercise

It is essential that we find a way to combine Heaven Luck, Man Luck and Earth Luck in everything we do, including Feng Shui. In exclusively applying one system over the other we will easily overlook certain important techniques of the other system.

It means, Black Hat still incorporates useful techniques, for as long as its Human Luck approach does not rule out Heaven Luck (Time realities) and Earth Luck (Space realities).

• Not all good and bad things can come from your horoscope (Heaven Luck), nor can you challenge good.
• Heaven Luck cannot be challenged by unfounded Human action.
• Not all good and bad things can come from Feng Shui (Earth Luck), nor can you challenge good Feng Shui by irresponsible Human behavior.
• Not all good and bad things will sprout from your direct actions (Man Luck), including affirmations, rituals or your intuition.
