Fengshui: logic or not?
Filed Under fengshui tutorial
There are a lot of controversy explained about the logical aspects of fengshui, one of them do believe that fengshui as a guidance, and at the other side did not believe with this fengshui. Fengshui often related with mystical and irrational legend, and among almost unbelievable world, so people sometimes get scared to learn about this thing.
Fengshui based on the empirical notes and literatures. In order to keep exist, fengshui experts at the past (called: Geomanser) used the marketing and symbolism in fengshui, to tell about about mystics and irrational worlds in its languages. So, this symbolism style of marketing creates a normative culture, such as do and don’t.
If they (fengshui people from the past) said that you will get sick if you don’t follow some kind of arrangement of the bedroom, or if your door houses facing the crossroad or T junction and your house will be easy to get robe, and if you sit behind the windows at your office, your employee will cheat on you, that just do not right!
Even though it is just the way to promote and socialize the fengshui words, we need to make the straight line about this thing. Because people today use a logical thinking to learn about something, better than just follow the normative guidelines from the past that comes from their anchestor. So, they who promote fengshui with normative style and aspects with mystics can be said as not teach about science, as well as not regarding with the Gods, Goddess, and a lot of mystical aspects surround it. We have to think better way to learn about fengshui as a logical science.
People realize fengshui as one of science, those comes from ancient Chinesse. Fengshui as a science purposed to arrange building and its surrounding well combined with nature aspect, so it will create a balance between people’s mind, body and soul. In this modern age, people use this fengshui to arrange not just in a housing aspect, but also to arrange the offices, commercial areas, and even hotels. Fengshui comes from the words of Feng, means:”wind”, and shui, means:”water”, so the words of fengshui related with: ”to flow”.
The basic principle of fengshui is to create certain harmonious aspects between human, building and the environment surround it. It means that there are a wisdom inside it, to remind people to manage and arrange the nature and the environment to become the better place. Fengshui could tell us about creating appealing and harmonious home and environment.
Fengshui as an art of design and build is basically related with three aspects, those are architect as a designer, architecture as a products, and people as an end user of those products. This is true because the development of the building can make several impacts for the emotional and human activity, can build personal and social aspect and also the cultural aspects of the community. Fengshui as one of the architecture science, can be rely to give a lot of advantage for the people live around those buildings. Wrote by Andie Wicaksono, for ar-chi-tect.org.
(andie wicaksono is an architecture book writer, an architect, also a fengshui book writer. He writes two books about fengshui those are: “Logiskah Fengshui” (Fengshui Logic), and “Menata Interior sesuai Fengshui” (Interior Arrangement with Fengshui), these books (Indonesian version) can be found at several bookstore, or in kotabuku.com

What people don’t realize about feng shui is that it is a science in itself (astrology). The proper placement of elements is essential but primarily, feng shui relies on determining the “health” of a lot, a house, an edifice and consequently curing any ills or shars in order for the occupants to live well. Feng shui can help people in inviting luck into their lives but results also depend on the occupants’ positive outlook in life.
Looks like earliest civilizations had more synergistic-living with nature. So much synergistic, so its’ (their concept of believe) become dificult to explain by Cartesian method. there were interpersonal experience and relation of the society and nature drive by human basic needs (+ savety)& nature forces. The manifestation of this relationship was depend on the force of each unique geographical&topographical characters of the region. So was Fengshui that came from the empirical nature-experiences of Chinese Emperor, or Vastu Purusha Mandala.
Well, for whomever it works, fine with me.
I’m not much for restrictions though.
I love my house cozy and a bit garbled.
But you find the principle in other religions as well.
Maybe not as strict.
