The early British settlers in Hong Kong had an interest in Feng Shui, thus, most of the earliest buildings in Hong Kong and many buildings constructed thereafter were built with the philosophies of Feng Shui in mind. The Chinese and even the British believe that those who have a direct view of a body of water, whether it is a river, a sea or an ocean, are more likely to prosper than those who do not (water is strongly associated with wealth in Fung Shui terms). The HSBC building has a wide open area (the Statue Square) in front of it, with no other buildings blocking its view of ...

It would be apt to describe the internal energy systems or ch�i within us as the � chakras � and the external energy system or ch�i of our environment as the feng shui. We can cure our illness vibrationally from both inside and outside. This dual approach can alter and transmute an illness making one more receptive to medicines, treatment processes and good old prayers.

Feng Shui is both - a strong and powerful medicine and a support system, but it should be used responsibly. Understanding and working with the principles of Feng Shui is the key to harnessing the power of ch�i in a way that will support us and benefit our life. Our health is ultimately the product of our environment. The �Environment� in this context covers all the aspects that surround us, that provide us with immediate sustenance. The main sources we draw upon are - the environmental ch�i , air, water and food.

Feng Shui is a way of life - Though it is important that the position of your bed, location of the cooking range, etc. and clutter in the home are attended to, it is however, equally important that while you are putting your external world in order, you make corresponding changes on the �inside� as well.

Feng Shui began when people had a very different way of explaining the world. They regarded the heaven, the earth and themselves as part of one system. This holistic view of life has persisted in many cultures, especially where health, medicine, food and life styles are all connected.

The modern city dweller may never actually see food growing or for that matter the night sky with twinkling stars due to the high pollution levels. The modern world has problems that did not exist in the ancient world. However, today we must take these into consideration when studying Feng Shui. In the West, scientific development created different disciplines that advanced in isolation from each other while providing explanations for the goings-on in the natural world.

Absolute (from Latin ab away + solvere to loosen, dissolve)

Freed, released, absolved; parallel to the Sanskrit moksha, mukti (set free, released), also to the Buddhist nirvana (blown out), all three terms signifying one who has obtained freedom from the cycle of material existence.

Absolute, in European philosophy, is used somewhat loosely for the unconditional or boundless infinitude. On the other hand, Sir W. Hamilton (Disc 13n) considers the Absolute as "diametrically opposed to, . . . contradictory of, the Infinite," which is correct from the standpoint of both etymology and abstract philosophy. Blavatsky uses the term both ways: sometimes equating it with infinity, at other times with the first cause or one divine substance-principle.

Strictly speaking, absolute is a relative term. It is the philosophic One or cosmic originant, but not the mystic zero or infinitude. An absolute or a cosmic freed one is not That (infinity), for infinity has no attributes: it is neither absolute nor nonabsolute, conscious nor unconscious, because all attributes and qualities belong to manifested and therefore noninfinite beings and things (cf FSO 89-90). The boundless or infinite, in which exist innumerable absolutes, includes the cognizer, the cognized, and the cognition, and is both matter and spirit, subject and object; all egos and non-egos are included within it.

From the zero emanate an infinite number of cosmic Ones or monads. Every absolute is not only the hierarch of its own hierarchy, the One from which all subsequent differentiations emanate, but is also a cosmic jivanmukta, a released monad freed from the pull of the lower planes. Every monad at the threshold of paranirvana reassumes its primeval essence and becomes at one with the absolute of its own hierarchy once more. The absolute is thus the goal of evolution as well as the source, the highest divinity or Silent Watcher of the hierarchy of compassion, which forms the light side of a universe or cosmic hierarchy.
