Sooty's House - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=19462 Re: Feng Shui 13Apr 25, 2009 7:16 pm I think part of it is simply stating the bleeding obvious, other parts of it are just commonsense. For neither of these do you need to append any eastern mysticism. Other parts are ridiculous superstition. And like all -take-your-money superstitions it relies on the more complex and detailed aspects in order to generate income for its "experts". If it's too obvious then who'll buy the books and pay the consultants ? And I'd love to see this 'proof'. But we won't. There is no proof. Snake oil rubbish like this relies on it being impossible to quantify. Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves. - Dale Carnegie Re: Feng Shui 14Apr 25, 2009 8:17 pm joeygbh Hoffies I'd love to see this "proof". Most feng shui advocates would point to hong kong - almost all the commercial buildings there have been built with a practicioner on the consultancy team. I would like to see the stats on how that area fared at the end of this GFC as compared to the rest of the world. I guess some people would view it no different to having "lucky socks" on game day. Hoffies IMO, it's nearly as silly as Astrology. At the risk of upsetting some people on here, some people would (and do) say the same about a bloke rising from the dead after three days... yep its amazing how much money can be made out of story books people are so gulible which also makes it easy for others to ripp you off the richest buisness in the world is religion stay safe happy building Re: Feng Shui 15Apr 25, 2009 8:34 pm Hey hang on - I was asked if I believed in Feng Shui, I said No, but didn't make derogatory comments about believers or sweeping generalisations about the philosophy. I dont think its fair for others to do that about my religion. I do not think I am gullible and I do not think I am easy to rip off Re: Feng Shui 16Apr 25, 2009 8:34 pm I think that if people believe in something, anything, that makes them feel good, gives them a postive and happy feeling and doesn't harm anyone else then good luck to them. Whether that be Feng Shui, organised religion or dancing around in your Jedi constume watching Star Wars movies believing that the Jedi Knights will watch over your house. As bigred said, each to their own. Maybe no-one can prove Feng Shui works...... but no-one can prove that it doesn't. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

At the risk of upsetting some people on here, some people would (and do) say the same about a bloke rising from the dead after three days... Then why did you say it??? And, I hardly think you can compare Feng Shui and Astrology to Christianity!!!

They didn't believe it was protecting the house, though!!!

And, I hardly think you can compare Feng Shui and Astrology to Christianity!!! Why not? They are all beliefs in something that cannot be proven by science. I don't think what Joey said was offensive at all. He was simply drawing a parrallel between different beliefs and that all involve faith in the truest sense of the word, believing what cannot be proven. I don't believe he was being offensive to Christians. Some people think his beliefs are silly.... he was just pointing out that some others think other beliefs are silly. I actually think Helyn may have been offended by what bingoshelley wrote. That seemed quite offensive to anyone that believes in anything.

Not sure about Feng Shui but if it aint hurting anyone then I do believe in energies though. Everything has energy and vibrates at different speeds - I just put a post in the Feng Shui area of the forum. 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'
