| Effective Way to Study Chinese Metaphysics
|
|
In truth, there are a lot of categories within the territory of metaphysics. If one wants to be proficient in all of them, it is virtually impossible without 20 to 30 years of hard work.
But to be proficient in just one category is not too difficult a task. If one puts in the effort, there will be some achievements after 3 to 5 years.
The secret is:
First, one must have good foundation. That is, one should master the basic principles, clearly understanding them, and learning by heart the positive and negative* interactions between the 5 elements. E.G.: metal controls wood, but also there are situations when metal can no longer control wood and can be hurt by wood.
* means: productive and reductive cycle.
Second, one must learn how to plot the life chart or the pattern of life. One must be familiar with the calculations of that branch of metaphysics, and avoid making unnecessary mistakes, such as getting the wrong chart.
Third, is using the method of deduction. For example, when studying the topic of wealth-making luck, one should examine and comprehend all the different circumstances and combinations. Then test them by using a large quantity of concrete examples, until satisfied that one will not be wrong with any kind of situation. (If one cannot even differentiate between auspicious and inauspicious, how can one be expected to tell the details of a client's life?). Continue with another category, e.g. marriage relationships. For each category one should use two months to research it, spending 2 to 3 hours examining 3 to 5 life examples each day. If one does that, one can finish most of the categories within a year.
Then in the coming year, use one's own chart for practical experience. First, keep a diary. Every Sunday, sit down and calm one's mind to review what has happened in the last week. Then analyze the current luck, current year, month, and day. Endeavour to find the manifestation of any incidents in the chart, in particular the cause and course of the occurrence, the degree of seriousness, etc. All this needs to be looked over clearly. After one year of accumulating experience and knowledge, one will have understood and mastered the skills in this field.
Then in the third year, one can start using one's relatives' charts for calculation and reference. Remember that one needs to make bold assumptions and then seek the proof carefully. In the interval, if there is any area that one does not understand, it is necessary to consult one's tutor. One should frequently read related books and ancient rhymed formulas. If there is area that one has failed to understand, one cannot simply ignore it or skip it.
Acting like this, one can regard oneself as a proficient student in this school of knowledge and treat the knowledge as one's own.
After three years, there will definitely be some results and achievements. In addition, one should not be too greedy and learn too many subjects/branches/categories of Chinese metaphysics at the same time. Even before finishing with a subject, one should not study another subject when there is limited time and energy. Without concentration, one cannot learn any subject well.
This is my experience from my 20 over years of learning and teaching. I wish you all the best with success in whatever you are pursuing.
