WHAT DO EASTERN AND WESTERN GOVERNMENTS HAVE IN COMMON?

In present day China all the palaces and important government buildings, that still exist, which were built in ancient China, are built on a north/south axis. This means the buildings follow the natural magnetic flow of the earth and when the planets are affecting the magnetic field in another direction, the North/South position is still not affected too much, and when it comes back to a North/South direction, they will be firm in their power.

The Feng Shui is changing all the time following a set routine, and only if you know "I Ching" Feng Shui can you build in the best direction that will make the building busy all the time. Of course this higher secret is only known to the top Masters.

It is no coincidence that the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street and the Bank of England have all been positioned to maximise their situations as well. Both the English and Chinese governments have used Feng Shui to control the people, and at the same time claim ignorance of its existence and what it is used for. And who can blame them? Businessmen use the same trick as governments in pretending not to believe in Feng Shui but actually doing the complete opposite.

HYPOCRITES

So do Western people believe in Feng Shui? Yes and no, it is still very much a so-so option. The Chinese certainly believe it, where "living environment Feng Shui" is used to determine the best site for their homes, places of work or business and the best system of design for interior decorating to create the most favourable environments for business, good health and relationships.

In regards to businesses such as the stock exchange, my experience has shown me that people half believe it and when they follow the instructions it has made the difference between making rather than losing billions. With one company the boss believes in its benefits as he has been working in Hong Kong for years, but those in charge in another branch of the company do not and therefore they will lose billions of pounds until they follow the instructions.

An incident from my own experience was with a firm of stockbrokers who vastly understated the size of their office on the telephone, and when I came to check the direction they disputed it. At the end of the consultation, they said they did not believe in Feng Shui anymore, after believing it earlier and having listened to my advice.

I told them that if they did not care to regard my advice they did not have to pay, to which they replied with a 'donation' 5% of the true asking price.

This was very "generous" and I laughed when I later saw one of their employees frantically running round Chinatown with bamboo shoots under his arm. So obviously they do believe in Feng Shui but pretend they don't. Unfortunately for them I still hold the key and they didn't give me the chance to tell them the most important point.

In my position I see too many hypocrites. For example there are many businesses secretly using Feng Shui, while claiming ignorance of its effectiveness and even making a mockery of it. This is because Feng Shui gives them a huge advantage over their competitors which they want to keep - therefore the less people who use Feng Shui - the better it is for them.

So remember, next time someone says they don't believe in Feng Shui - it could be that they don't want you to give the subject serious consideration. However after the handover of Hong Kong in June 1997, Feng Shui has become far more widespread ... Who knows, maybe the Bank of China has found a suitable site in London for their next project.

One last point, recent events in London's Docklands act as a grim reminder to the folly of ignoring Feng Shui. When the luck is not there, even outside help such as the recent 32 million pounds foreign investment into the area, can not alter the situation. Bad Feng Shui will always attract disasters such as the IRA bomb, which caused in excess of £150 million pounds worth of damage. Follow the Feng Shui advice and you can make billions, ignore it and lose billions. So if I was in business and always searching for the best opportunities I would follow the instructions!
