Try to
communicate the standard format to students or your clients.
Try having
beginners or your clients understand this format.
Try to have
people focus on one aspect in this format, then focus to another aspect
and have them again concentrate back on what you just showed them.
Try name all
fourteen elements – yin and yang – according to their function, say
within four seconds and repeat this tomorrow.
Try to
remember all these aspects and still not overlook anything.
Try to dive
into this reading, grasp its meaning, put it away for one day and have
it kick in once more when your client calls you again.
Using the
traditional format you will have to burn in a mental picture in your brain
of how the Five Transformations work in any particular chart and how they
influence each other and the life of your client. Then, you may want to
have this imprint last a while. Impossible.
The extension
proposed here has disadvantages of its own, like not being able to see
what Earthly Branches the yin and yang elements originated from, or from
which pillar, year, month, day or hour.
However if I
were your client and I would ask you to pull my file one year after you
had already done my reading, would you like to pull out just the
traditional format or the traditional format along with this extension?
