Travelling in ancient times

       In practising directionology you may soon come to an amazing conclusion. Almost no direction – or sometimes only one single direction – is auspicious. It happens that only one direction, e.g. North, is auspicious at a given time. To return home you would then have to travel South and this could be inauspicious.

       Directionology was developed in ancient times from Qi observation. People would not be travelling, sometimes their entire lives. When I left my village and returned after 30 years, the same girl would probably live in the same house.

       When these people had to travel, they would be travelling very slow, either by walking or on the back of an animal.

       This way it was maybe not too detrimental to be travelling into an inauspicious direction, because of the slow and steady movement – and so steady adjustment to each new environment – and the fact that they would not be covering widely apart distances over too short a time period.

       Each night they would sleep in a spot closer to their travelling goal, yet still not much away from the location they had left that morning. In other words, Qi resonance of the original location did not differ much from the Qi resonance of the location I am in now, I am still ‘home’.

       This then enabled them to take in the Qi of the stars of that particular time and place and take in the water and food from that environment, taking in and assimilating Qi resonance of a particular location.

       If you allow yourself to adjust to the environmental Qi and the Qi of water and food, your blood eventually takes on a similar quality and your personal Qi will start resonating as if you had been from that environment all along.

       Directionology is just a matter of magnetism and affinity between my personal Qi and environmental Qi. Masters of Time and Space knew, not about laws of astronomy or mathematics, but they were well aware of the laws of biological and physiological transmutation and knew how to maintain a healthy body and clear judgement by choosing the right food.

       If your most detrimental direction was to be North, but you had to move into the North, you have to understand that the locality you are travelling to is not at all detrimental to the people actually living there. The Qi of that people is in perfect resonance with the Qi of that environment. If you were to bring your personal Qi to resonate with the Qi of that environment, travelling to or arriving at that locality would not be detrimental or harmful to you.

       Slowly changing your own Qi resonance, in order for it to take on the same frequency, would give you the same Qi resonance and you would not be travelling into an inauspicious direction anymore, on the contrary you would be travelling ‘home’, your body ‘recognizing’ this Qi.

       Also, this type of travelling allowed plenty of time for a once harmful direction to have been over time changed into another one of your auspicious directions.

Contra-measures

       Don’t worry, over the centuries this theory evolved, also many contra-measures were found to try weakening harmful effect of travelling into an inauspicious direction. Some of these measures are practical, some of them are too fantastic or radical to be practical or desirable even, like the one – in an attemt to ‘undo’ karma - claiming that one should travel around the planet in the exact opposite direction of the initial direction too nullify any harmful effect. Even if we agree that this works, this technique would not be anywhere near practical.

       In this day and age the principles for directionology may be as valid as they had been around the time they where found, but we have to deal with certain limitations.

       Time is a very limited resource in our modern world, where we cannot decide to go on holiday today and return in one year when the ‘Numbers’ are positioned better. Even if you wanted to, you would have a hard time explaining and convincing your employer.

       Also, when we travel, we are often dependent on prescribed travelling schedules and routes. No pilot will adjust and take a different route only because you tell him “we’re flying against the 5”. But, if you had the choice and you had to travel North, but North is detrimental, travelling Northwest first and then Northeast would be an option.

       This way, you would not directly confront the Star in the North, but instead moving towards the Stars in the Northwest and Northeast, probably much less inauspicious at that time.

       Secondly, the quality of your blood is the determining factor and is what ultimately does the trick, so if you cannot avoid travelling directly North, make sure you are in good health and that you are not tired.

       Whether in Nine Star Ki or Feng Shui, one’s own Qi resonance is crucial and the ultimate deciding factor.

       In Feng Shui, the same house will have a different impact on different people. Any inauspicious Feng Shui situation will not have the same harmful effect on a person that has powerful and healthy personal Qi, at least not nearly as much as it would a person with Qi resonance that is less resistant to harmful Qi. It is like wearing the proper clothing against cold weather, wind and rain. The weather is the same to anyone, but the question is how the weather impacts each one of us.

       If you are tired, under heavy stress or experiencing illness, you are more vulnerable to negative external influences because you are not ‘yang’ enough to counter.

       So, watch your diet, especially intake of more yin foods like sugar, chocolate, alcohol, medication or chemical foods in general. Do not eat food that was prepared in a micro-wave, but use old fashioned fire to ensure yang and energized food.

       If there is no way around travelling into your inauspicious direction, leave some money behind with friends just in case an emergency arises while travelling into or having arrived at your destination. If you are travelling into an inauspicious direction, go over things more than once when you prepare your trip. Did I pack my passport, did I bring my keys or ticket, is the car allright.

       Make sure you arrive at the airport or railway station on time. Also check other people and confirm appointments. Are the people you need in the right spot at the right time.

       Especially if you have to travel into your worst possible direction on a worst possible day, do not pack things that you cannot do without in your larger luggage. Leave precious things home or carry them tight to your body. You do not want your luggage to catch another plane.

       Another technique to avoid problems, is to consider having your trip organized or ticket booked by someone who’s Numbers are located in the Luo Shu better than yours. This person may have better luck in the destined direction. If your Number is in the Water House, for instance, and you have to travel North, ask a friend to make travel arrangements for you. Time of departure and other specific things important to the trip will be then determined by this person’s Qi.

       See further down and look for any fourth animal away from your own Chinese zodiac sign (year sign is taken here for compatibility reasons). For instance, if you are a Rat your most auspicious relationships in love and business will be with Dragon and Monkey.

       Have a person born under either of these signs book the trip for you and take you to the airport. You can carry the luggage.

       Your most inauspicious Chinese animal sign is six animals away from your own. If you are a Rat – belonging to North – do not have your trip booked by a Horse person – belonging to South -, especially if South coincides with the ‘Grand Duke’ for that particular year.

       By far the best trick of them all, at the same time in most cases probably the most difficult, is to bring your personal Qi resonance in resonance with the Qi resonance of your destination, as much as three weeks prior to the moment you actually leave home.

       This technique is based on the fact that the Qi of your destination is not having negative impact at all to people living and thriving there, because the way they eat is in accordance with their environmental Qi.

       Travelling is not a matter of moving your body from point A to point B. By travelling or positioning you are imposing a biological-physiological event on your system. In this technique you might have someone send you food that came from your destination. Start eating and drinking some food, three weeks prior to your departure. In this way, your blood will have taken on a different Qi quality and you will be travelling ‘home’, rather than into another country.

       Other precautions, like making sure the Feng Shui of your house is in optimum condition, are also proposed.

       Some use affirmations to minimize the effect of travelling into a detrimental direction. I am comfortable with the idea of visualization, because it is the way our human nervous system works. However, when I am in a martial arts tournament, I can do whatever affirmation, it will not make my opponent dissapear or even loose any of his skills.

       My affirmations control my own body’s physiology, telling it exactly which hormons to allow into my system and which not. Remember, however, that this technique does not influence my opponent’s physiology. But it has been researched, documented and proven that the human mind does play a role in the outcome of events. Some will use affirmations, meditations, mudra’s or mantra’s to influence the trip or the outcome of the trip. When I travel I try to keep my lips together and my tongue against my teeth.
