Lim, 68, who was performing a “human steaming” stunt during a Nine Emperor God prayer session at a Chinese temple in Kuala Sanglang, was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.

Deity run away left medium alone during performance?

Maybe it was his time to go ... Deity also can't help if Heaven / Hell is calling.
But sad way to go, like steamed char siu pau.

His performance too hardcore. He should do something simpler like invoke deity to cook char bee hoon breakfast.

Laozi said the universe started with nothingness.

Then the oneness (which was chaos and disorder) emerged from the nothingness.

Then from the disorder oneness, it produces two opposite yin and yang.

From the two opposite, they generate the three origins - heaven (natural laws), man (life), and earth (matters and space)

Then the three origins created everything in the universe.

You got it correct until the three origins part.

After yin yang 阴阳 it delves further to si xiang 四向, which are the Four Directions (e.g North East South West).

And from si xiang 四向, it delves again further into BaGua 八卦 , which are the elements of the earth like fire, water, air etc...

and from BaGua 八卦 it again delves into 64 卦...

That is why for the feng shui masters and the Tao masters they rely heavily on the BaGua to determine the fengshui and to practice Taoism.

And fengshui itself is also a practice of Tao as what the abovementioned provided.

This morning Melody FM having FengShui session where the Master said he can alter his clients’ premises to be much wealthier. DJ Wong Chui LING immediately responded that meaning all his clients’ neighborhood would suffer as all wealth funneled into his clients 😳

Tao valued natural harmony!

DaoDe 道德 is Ethic, we may toss away dogma but listening to our heart, our very own ruler.

Waiting for others to answer? You know much better than I do. The starting point in understanding Tao is accepting yourself.

道法自然 Tao is governing the Natural

I’m neither a Theist 有神論 nor an Atheist 無神論, rather an Agnostic in specific. There are 7 billion human beings with 7 billion ways of understanding Tao.

Accepting yourself - does this mean you accept your current position and not try to improve yourself? Or accept yourself but try to improve anyway, which then looks like you are not accepting yourself.

Not trying to argue here, just trying to understand further. Thanks.

A critical question, I like it!

知命不認命 Knowing Fath but Not Giving In Easily
I choose to try my best effort to deal with the situation for optimal outcomes.

Just for recap, knowing an accident in advance within 48hours, I would pay extra careful from my best of knowledge for precaution. It will happen eventually but on the bright side, I’m cool & calm to handle with best preparations.

Natural is not always friendly, so as Tao. There are ups & downs in life. I made good decisions & trying to improve from bad decisions. Still learning to live life full each & every day 😅

Fortune Telling Radio FM forecasted the ever strongest hurricane heading towards xyz within 48hours. Despite all the preparation done, xyz damaged by the hurricane.

Should we stop listening to Fortune Telling Radio FM or further pursuing forecast accuracy even thought we can’t change the natural events?

Excellent questions. I always think that fortune telling is unnecessary, cos you can't change the future anyway. But the bright side is that we can be prepared for the eventuality with calmness and mitigating defences, eg if you know an accident is going to take place, you can make sure you have your allergies machine-printed onto a bracelet that you wear, and you have the phone numbers of ambulance services in your mobile phonebook.

Just curious, If a fungshui master can alter his clients’ premises to be much wealthier. Why he bother to alter other ppl premises?
