Chapter 22 - The Seat Of Gods And The God Of Water

To set up a seat of gods in one house is to make use of the gods. To make use of the gods is to change the magnetic field.

In our Easterner's houses, we have the tradition of worshipping gods and ancestors, that is, worshipping "the spirits of gods" and "the spirits of the ancestors". It is true that it is sincerity that brings about responses, yet the worshipping should be properly practised. Proper worshipping brings about double benefit while improper worshipping may result in bad luck. In this respect, great caution is needed.

For geomancers, whether a particular house has the potential for "development" or not depends on whether the house "has affection" or not. With affection, the house brings about "development"; without affection, it will result in failure. The analysis of presence and absence of affection is very complex with a lot of learning involved. Only geomancers with many years of experience know the secrets.

What about the seat of gods? To judge whether the seat of gods "has affection" or not is to see whether it meets the god of water. If it meets the god of water, it does have affection; if not it does not.

This is the secret.

The god of water refers to a river, a stream, a lake, a ditch, or the sea, in short, a general term for any place where water concentrates. There are flat places where the direction of water flow is not obvious. In geomancy, however, there is this definition:

It is a hill if it is one inch higher than other places.

It is water if it is one inch lower than other places.

Here is a list of cases in which the seat of gods has affection and has no affection.

A. If the seat of gods faces some water "outside the bow", it is inauspicious.

B. If the seat of gods faces no water and water comes from behind, it is inauspicious. It is called "water at the back."

C. If the seat of gods faces some water that falls from a steep place, it is inauspicious. It is called "steep flying water."

D. If the seat of gods faces some water that flows past very flat, it is "ordinary water". It is neither auspicious nor inauspicious.

E. If the seat of gods faces some water that is "inside the bow", it is auspicious. It is called "embracing water."

F. If the seat of gods faces some water that is in the shape of a fish's belly, it's called "gold fish water" and it is auspicious.

G. If the seat of gods faces some water on its back, it is auspicious.

H. If the seat of gods faces some water that comes in sideways, it is "sideway water" and is auspicious.

I. If a high mountain stands behind the seat of gods and there is a waterfall or springs coming down, it is "overhead showering water" and is very ominous ?/font> it may result in incest or going against one's superiors.

J. If the seat of gods faces some river that murmurs with spray day and night, it is inauspicious - it may result in adultery.

In short, to judge whether the seat of gods greets vitality forces or declining forces is to see whether it meets the god of water (in which case it has affection) or it does not meet the god of water (in which case it has no affection).

To deal with all the inauspicious cases mentioned above, geomancers all know the three talismans by Taoist or Buddhist priests which can pacify the negative forces from water:

First: The Buddha orders that the water be clean and free from all negative forces. Carry it out now.

Second: At the order of heaven, Master Yang Gong orders the Water Virtue Star to come here.

Third: At the order of Heaven, Master Yang Gong orders the Sun Star, the Water Virtue Star, and the Zhaixuan Star to come here.

These three talismans are secrets from Master Qing Zhen.

Besides, for the control of water forces, there are also the five-ghost method, the nine-star method, and the 24-direction method.

Here in this chapter, I disclose a secret. If there are two trees of different species of about the same size in front of the seat of gods, or two rivers either in front of the seat of gods or behind the house, this could suggest that the host is going to have "two wives and two concubines."

Many geomancers believe that there are many taboos concerning the location of the seat of gods. For example, the seat of gods must not be located under a roof beam, nor under a staircase, nor in a passageway, nor in a dirty place, nor any place there is a lot of walking about.

I, Living Buddha Lian Shen, hold that the relationship between the seat of gods and the water god is very important. As long as the seat of gods "meets" some water, it is good. But their relationship could be formed either quickly or slowly, resulting in early or late development of the family. As the water comes in different ways - in front, sideways or around "the waist", there are differences in development - quick money by fair means and slow money by foul means or slow money by fair means and quick money by foul means. Only the adept knows all these fine differences.

If the seat of gods is to be moved, remember two things: Choose the right hour of the right day; a master be invited to preside the ceremony.
