from Jesus:
The Western world has over the past centuries seen a spectacular success
brought on by science and technology. A side effect of this success
is that many people have developed a certain arrogance that makes them
feel that anything which was not brought forth through modern scientific
culture could not possibly be worthwhile. Some people feel that if a
teaching is not expressed in scientific terms or cannot be confirmed
by scientific experiments, then that teaching could not possibly be
valid. Some people feel that anything developed before the rise of the
scientific age could not possibly be valid. These viewpoints are shortsighted
and somewhat arrogant.
It is a simple fact that the modern scientific culture has only existed
for a very short period of time, and it has already created a number
of problems that could threaten its long-term survival. In contrast,
you have several civilizations, including the ancient Chinese civilization,
which existed for millennia. This should cause people to ponder whether
these long-lasting civilizations could possibly have brought forth something
that was valid, even if it cannot yet be confirmed or understood by
modern science.
As you know, 500 years ago many people though the Earth was flat, yet
the Earth was as round then as it is today. It was barely a century
ago that Albert Einstein discovered that everything is made from energy,
yet the universe has been made from energy since its beginning. Many
ancient civilizations had an intuitive knowledge of the fact that everything
is made from energy, and consequently they understood that energy affects
every part of life. For example, the ancient Chinese civilization developed
several teachings about energy and the flow of energy. The most well-known
examples are Tai Chi, acupuncture and feng shui.
What I am saying here is that feng shui is based on a valid knowledge
about energy, the flow of energy and how it affects the human energy
field and thereby human well-being. The spiritual teachings that formed
the basis for feng shui were indeed given to people by the Ascended
Host, and they were valid teachings. They were simply expressed in the
language of the time, a language that was by no means more primitive,
but simply different from modern scientific language.
Unfortunately, as I explain throughout this website, what happens to
most original spiritual teachings is that over time they are changed
by people who do not fully understand the teachings. In many cases,
the original intuitive link to the Ascended Host is eventually broken,
and from that point people begin to add interpretations based on the
human intellect and often the carnal mind. This often leads to later
developments that can be far from, even in direct opposition to, the
original spiritual teachings. Feng shui is no exception to this process,
and neither is Christianity.
As you correctly point out, some of the teachings found in modern feng
shui are clearly superstitious and contrary to common sense. It is indeed
valid to consider feng shui in the modern world, but it would be highly
beneficial to use your intuition and your Christ discernment.
Take note also that feng shui was never an exact science. It was never
given to be turned into a mechanical process, as modern technology has
been. Feng shui was always meant to be an intuitive teaching, which
means that the outer teachings must be used only as guidelines that
are interpreted intuitively and adapted to the individual person and
the individual situation. That is why a good feng shui practitioner
is not simply a technician but an intuitive person.
Your interest in the topic shows that you have already been given intuitive
insights by your Christ self that feng shui is a valid and important
teaching for you to incorporate in the design of your new house. What
you need to do is to study the teachings on feng shui, or perhaps consult
an experienced practitioner, and then, through the entire process, use
your intuition and your Christ discernment, as you are already doing.
Allow your Christ self to guide you to the teachings that are right
for you, and ignore the ones that don't make sense to you. When you
are building a house and when you are involved with the design of that
house, your house should be an expression of you and your current spiritual
development. So don't be afraid to use the feng shui principles as general
guidelines and then interpret them according to your own Christ discernment.
As you point out, it is also important to invoke spiritual light throughout
the entire process, and this certainly should not be neglected. Yet
there is no reason you cannot combine the teachings on feng shui with
invoking the light. This can give you a house that will be a support
to your spiritual growth.
Yet let me caution that is important for people to stay balanced in
all things. The most important part of your spiritual development is
your inner contact with your Christ self. Outer things should be secondary
to that inner contact, including a house or the food you eat. That is
why I said that it is not what goes into a man's mouth but what comes
out of it that defiles him. That statement was meant to illustrate precisely
the point I am bringing up here, namely that the outer things in the
material world are always secondary compared to the inner things of
your own psyche and your connection to your Christ self. So let feng
shui be your servant, and don’t let it become your master.
