I'm about to move to a new house. As a person growing up in a culture enriched with superstition, it's hard not to notice those elements around the house that may obstruct the 'chi' to flow freely in the house. So, there's always this tendency to neutralize those elements and the temptation to consult a master.
While the heart supports this proposition, the logical mind is as quickly to reject as it does not make much sense and the need to answer the ultimate question 'are you going to follow exactly what the master will advice you?? Even if you think it's a lousy recommendation from an ergonomic perspective?!'
After much thinking, I feel that both, ignoring those elements or consulting a geomancer is nothing more than a means to an end. It's just a method...a method that's used to increase confidence.
I think that when a person has the full confidence, it will attract good 'chi' and 'good chi' will beget more 'good chi'.
Hence, consulting a geomancer is basically boosting our confidence level and in that hyped state, we see the positive side of every event. And guess what? We see a solution.
So, when a person who consults a geomancer has done what is required, he too becomes confident and that confidence will lead to a positive mind...and hence positive energy. This is not only limited to geomancy. We sometimes also have our ‘lucky tie’ or ‘lucky pen’ which we believe give us the luck. It’s about boosting confidence as well. In NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), it’s called ‘anchoring’ which means trying to use an object, sound or action that can link a person back to that ‘great feeling’ he once has.
So, should we be superstitious? Go ahead if it can make you more confident. But my advice is not to be over-dependent so that without it, your confidence will not fall like a ton of bricks! To me, it’s still best to have the basic confidence in oneself that can be controlled within. Then, take your ‘lucky pen’ as bonus confidence booster. In this way, we are secured.
So, ladies and gentlemen, it's all about confidence at the end of the day.
