BA ZI ANTHOLOGY

Destiny is a really extraordinary phenomenon. It is amazing and

often hard to trace. Which part of destiny do we decide and cre

ate ourselves? What is predetermined ahead of time and what of

the predetermined is really impossible to change? To what extent

do we personally participate in what seems to be the actions of

impersonal fate?

Wolfing von Rohr

Author’s note

It’s easy to keep your destiny under control. If you possess the necessary tools. And that is not only the power of thought multiplied by strong desire and sankalpa. The knowledge set forth in this book is a mathematical model of the Divine Providence and a map of changes in this Universe.

In my video predictions you can always see a few books beside me. One of them is the traditional Chinese calendar. It’s a magical book of destinies and events. I easily read its signs interweaving in my consciousness into dynamic actions and mysteries of human beings. The time has come to share with you the content of my brain’s «libraries».

While some are ruthlessly condemned by destiny, others easily sail the yacht called «Life», planning and implementing fantastic projects. One can long dispute about the injustice of this world, covering with veil of depression his laziness and fear to take responsibility for his own existence.

Everyone can be happy! And don’t tell me about karma or financial possibilities. In this life, we are born alone and the same way we leave this world. No one owes anything to anyone!

I agree, some people are born in a wealthy family, surrounded by love and care, in a safe and prosperous country, where people are protected by righteous laws and have broad horizons for development. Others are tossed away by destiny deep into taiga forests, rewarded only with good health and possibility to observe the primeval nature along with equally primeval social structure. But let’s not forget that some haven’t received even those things.

Until now, you had to balance like equilibrists between the need for freedom and the external circumstances. Relying on much the same lost in space «flying Dutchmen». Being afraid to fall down and holding onto illusions and faith in Heavenly Powers.

You are right, the variety of initial criteria of our destiny and living environment are determined by the debts from past lives and the human life purpose. But it’s only one third of the program. 100 % of your luck can be roughly divided into three parts. We have mentioned the «Heavenly» third part, which is created by karma. The «Earth luck» is created by the actions of our ancestors. And 33,3% of luck is only under your own control. Using this percentage efficiently, it’s quite possible to become successful and prosperous man.

And if with the help of a magical book, «the Chinese calendar», you learn how to calculate the safest and most fortunate options of destiny, your luck will increase.

There is one more thing to be mentioned here. The Earth is quite a small planet. People inhabiting it are practically identical. If you doubt it, ask the doctors. The Chinese, Europeans and Indian people have the same hearts and livers. Everyone has red blood, and we conceive children the same way.

Nature has wisely scattered knowledge on the planet, giving every nation its own functions. Do not be embarrassed by the fact that it is in Asia where the ancient knowledge has been preserved. At least for the time of reading the book let’s forget the ethnic boundaries that divide us. Let’s feel ourselves a part of a community living in a wonderful land; travelers, surfing the time and the cosmic ocean on a cozy ship of our planet; having common history, natural resources, biorhythms and magnetic fields.

Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, imagine that you have opened a manual on programming your destiny «for Dummies». I won’t mislead you; not everything is so simple. This knowledge, which came to us through the ages and is the result of millennial experience of mankind, has always been hidden behind a veil of mystery. Being a key to managing your own destiny as well as other lives, it offered the advantage to those in whose hands was the power and deprived of it the others. I will give you the formulas by which the Universe breathes and distributes the breathing in time. I will teach you to conduct it through your destiny and space; to read the events and understand the historical processes; to feel and be aware of your nature and body. But along the path of life, you will walk with this knowledge on your own. With a guide called «The Chinese Calendar for 150 years».

Lesson 1

If I had but little knowledge I should, in walking

along the broad way, the only thing I fear is get

ting off the road.Broad ways are extremely even,

but people are fond of bypaths.

Philosophy of the teaching

The basis of this world is duality. This is what launches changes and movement in all their diversity. For the manifestation of light, darkness is needed. Air draught is created by opening the window and letting the fresh gust into the room. The activity of air currents is caused by the temperature difference. New life is born in the joining act of a man and a woman.

If we rephrase one of the most famous laws of physics, any action meets the resistance of the environment, and gives birth to a chain of other actions.

Let’s suppose you offered a stranger a cup of coffee at the airport. He is confused; his brain does not accept your gesture. You have crossed the boundaries of his personal space. As a result, you get the reaction of mistrust.

In accordance with the existing model, the act causes a wave of events and emotional reactions. And they also have opposite variants. Having overcome the resistance of consciousness, the man can take the coffee, and thank you with a smile. Or he can, at best, quietly get up and change seats. The probability of various reactions is unpredictable. But we start to compare and evaluate; divide things into useful and harmful.

道 Tao (Dao) is one of the fundamental concepts of the ancient Chinese teaching. Its name gave the name to the movement of Taoism. In the narrow sense, it is a righteous path of a human. Similar to the Indian concept of following the Dharma. In a wider meaning, it’s an intelligent form of energy that the world is made of.

The variety of possible behavior scenarios leads to a wide range of the experienced feelings. And thus it increases the palette of changes.

This is how the space unfolds, painting all the new stories of the film of life on the canvas of Tao, which pervades everything.

By the bright projector beam, the breathing of Qi manifests people and events. Everything comes to life and is filled with flowers and aromas. The characters interact, manifesting new polarities and creating unthinkable storylines. Each of which depends only on your choice.

In Chinese mythology, the universe is described as a chaotic mass, which was formed into an egg. It was round like a womb and had its own center. Inside of this sphere, Pangu was born and stayed there for many thousands of years. He was maturing, growing, soaking up millions of substances. Then he broke the shell and got out, usinga huge axe he had made himself. Pangu split the chaotic mass surrounding him. The sphere was opened, and divided into 2 parts.

The light and luminous part scooped up the air and soared upwards, rising by one zhang per day. It became a blue sky. Yang was born. The other one, heavy and dark, was filled with huge stones and earth, falling down by one zhang per day. This accumulation transformed into the broad earth. Yin was born. And Pangu has been growing and growing for 18 thousand years, growing by one zhang every day. Soon, he hit his head into the heaven, with his feet standing on the earth.

In those days, he was the only living being between the heaven and the earth, and he was very lonely. He either rejoiced, or then got angry, and his anger and joy, grief and merrymaking influenced the weather changes.

When Pangu was happy, the weather was clear. If he got angry, black clouds would cover the sky. When he cried, his tears turned into rains, and the rainwater created the rivers, lakes and seas. When he sighed, his breathing turned into a hurricane. His left eye became the moon, and the right eye became the sun. When he blinked, the lightning would strike the sky. When he snored while sleeping, the rumbling blasts of thunder were heard in the sky.

After Pangu opened the heaven and the earth, he had been living between them for many long years. But one day, it was time to leave this world. His body was lying on the ground with his head to the east, and feet to the west. The head was towering up above the earth and turned into the majestic mountain of Taishan.

The toes of his feet looked upwards, and now these are the mountain peaks of Huashan propping the sky. The left shoulder turned into the peak of Hengshan in the south, and the right one – to the northern peak of Hengshan. His hair was scattered over the earth in form of flowers and herbs. And from the flesh, appeared the trees and earth. The bones and teeth formed metal and stones. And from different insects and parasites that lived on Pangu’s body, came the people.

The legend describes the Big Bang theory, the process of galaxies creation and the Universe’s expansion.

It is said in Tao Te Ching: «Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two give birth to three, and three give birth to all living beings. All beings have Yin and Yang within themselves, are filled with Qi and long for harmony.»

In the expanding Universe, there appeared the polarity of Yin-Yang. It gave birth to movement. Everything light started to rush outside. The heavier substances started to form asteroids, planets and other solid bodies. Galaxies, stars and planets began to accumulate magnetism. Torsional fields structured the reality and formed the layers. And Yin and Yang formed eight driving forces that gave birth to all the visible things.

Yin-Yang

Picture 1. Yin-Yang Monade

The ball with two rotating fish illustrates the interaction of polarities. The white is Yang, the black is Yin.

Yang is light, hot, radiating. Yin is heavy, cold, absorbing. Their nature is different, so they never mix, like oil and water. But they have an amazing quality; filled to their limits, they reproduce the seed of the opposite potency. In excessive Yang (the white fish), Yin is born (the black dot). And vice versa, in the growing Yin (the black fish), the energy accumulates and, having reached a high degree of concentration, gives rise to Yang (the white dot).

All Chinese mystical symbols have a system. Whether it is Yin-Yang monade or Ba Gua. At the top there’s always the hot South, manifestation of the most Yang energy of fire. And below is the North, associated with the Ying coolness of water. Our world belongs to the layer (the loka) of Fire. Everything is born here in the interaction of these primary elements.

Pranayama is a system of breathing exercises, where inhalation, exhalation and retention alternate in different sequences and at different tempos. It is used to perfect the body and its abilities by controlling five types of pranas.

In the human body, fire also occupies the upper position – the head, while water occupies the area of pelvis. Therefore, the techniques of Qigong, which improve human body by controlling the flows of energy, are called Kang-Li (water-fire) techniques.

While doing the exercise called «Microcosmic orbit», we lower the heat along the front line of the body to warm up the water of sexual energy. We raise the generated steam by inhaling to the head, where the alchemical processes of brain cell rejuvenation take place.

If you imagine a clock dial around Yin-Yang fish, the white dot of the black fish Yin will match 00:00. This is the birth time of Yang potential. In a few hours, it starts accumulating in the atmosphere and manifests itself with the first sun rays. In the practices of pranayama, this time period is called the hour of Brahma – the best time to work with breathing. Accumulating, Yang is heating the air and filling everything with light. At noon, inside of the excessive Yang, grows Yin. And at 12:00, it starts to appear in the form of drowsiness. Every creature, object or action contains both polarities, floating from one form to the other.

In the binary matrix of the Creator of this world, Yin-Yang can be compared with numbers 1 and 0 in programming. Joining in various combinations, they paint the picture of this world. And knowing the principles of how they are transforming, we can read the God’s purpose.

Let’s picture Yang as a solid line, and Yin as a dashed one and unite them into a composition of three different lines.

Figure 2. Trigram Aqua

We read from the bottom upwards: «Yin – Yang – Yin». This trigram is called Water. It corresponds to the Yin fish in the period of exaltation. Outside is Yin, and inside is Yang, which perfectly describes the nature of water. The visible softness and ability to absorb, hide power and strength.

You may have a question: «Why would I need all this?» Understanding the nature of things, we understand the reality, we get access to its codes and learn to control it. Only reaching the true essence of things allows to construct things with their help, and to build brick by brick your life and the space around you.

Three worlds

I’ve always loved turtles. Watching these ancient tranquil animals, you learn the truth of this world. Breathe less often, like a turtle, and you will reach the age of immortals. Move more slowly like a turtle, and you will learn the principle of awareness. Do not show yourself off: save your neck. Form your home inside of you, so there will be nothing to take away from you. Accept the living conditions that destiny offers you. Due to their nature, turtles outlived the saber-toothed tigers and the dinosaurs. Nowadays still, they live on many continents, in deserts, forests and oceans.

We can say that a man is like a turtle lodged between the heavenly and earthly part of the shell.

Figure 3. Three worlds

He is pressed from the top by the entire weight of heavenly karma, the things his soul has earned while traveling from incarnation to incarnation; from below, he is pressed by karma of his ancestors.

About ten years ago, the «the games of space» brought me to Siberia, to shamans. It happened as unexpectedly just as everything in my destiny. A friend of mine formed a group of curious Moscow citizens, but since there was no one who possessed paranormal abilities among them, shamans refused to accept them. «Olya, – there was a call in the middle of a lecture in my Kyiv club, – call this stubborn guy urgently and tell him about yourself. Save the day»! I apologized to the audience and announced a short break. That’s how we ended up in taiga. Now I’m not going to tell the stories about the ancient libraries that we found under the burial mounds, and the sacrament of my tambourine consecration. I will just tell one moment of my studying. This happened at the ethnic museum organized by exiled Decembrists in Minusinsk. Passing by the stands with menhirs and tambourines, they led me up to the millstone.

– We all talk about perfection of soul. But do you know what it means? – the shaman asked me. And without waiting for the answer, he continued: – The souls of people are poured into the millstones of life like grains, grinding them to a certain quality.

– What is the criterion of the quality? – I specified. – What should we learn to be? To become as soft as premium quality white flour, and filter through hardships?

– We need to attain spiritual courage!

– Or the courage to be spiritual, – I smiled to myself. I’ve heard the same words in a Buddhist monastery in Bodhgaya, when I was trying to find out what the word Nisajja means.

Millstones are heavenly and earthly programs that form the events. Their purpose is to change a person until he reaches the necessary condition. The trinity in this system is Heaven, Man and Earth. And if the programs on the top and at the bottom are set up, we are free for one-third and have the right to use space to get what we desire. To change ourselves, and not allow tragedies to happen in our destinies.

A man is a point in the ternary coordinate system formed by Information, Energy and Matter. In numerology 1 is a number of Heaven, 2 is Earth, 3 is Human.

Whereas the formula of space is 2³, that of a man is 3². A human body has 9 openings, the fetus is carried in the womb for 9 solar months and our brain has «9 palaces». You can find a lot of proofs of this theory. But let’s go on to the space.

Ba Gua and interweavings of trigrams

In the ternary space Yin-Yang, like 2³, form 8 driving forces. «Two give birth to three». The early Universe was an isotropic environment with energy of high density, temperature and pressure. And then there was a reaction, similar to a nuclear one. Two charged particles burst out of a compressed state and gave rise to the energy bang. It launched a wave, and in several stages, there appeared a vortex torsion field. This magnetic «apple» directed the movement of micro particles along eight trajectories, the potential of which we shall call Gua. According to the Big Bang theory, the Universe materialized from the original singular state. Since then, it has been expanding and cooling down, synthesizing «thousands of things» within itself. According to the tunneling effect, the micro particles penetrate from the top to the bottom and from the bottom to the top, bypassing the barrier that cuts the space-time apple horizontally in the middle.

In Chinese language, 8 sounds like Ba. Gua is the potential of the described above directing vector, the nature of which is determined by the corresponding trigram. Ba Gua means eight pairs of complementary opposites in a two-dimensional model arranged in the form of a circle. And in a three-dimensional model they describe eight types of quantum-magnetic currents, from which the space-time fabric is woven.

The formation of trigrams can be depicted on the illustration:

Figure 4. Early Heaven Sequence of Ba Gua

Mathematically, there is great variety of different Ba Gua variants. Just like the worlds in this universe. But there are two that are known and used in calculations.

Ba Gua of the Early Heaven Sequence: its symbols encode the existence principle of our Universe and of 16 parallel realities. At the top is trigram «Heaven», and at the bottom is «Earth».

The Later Heaven Sequence is the one according to the laws of which everything moves and is structured in our world. It has trigram «Fire», the South, at the top and «Water», the North, at the bottom. Next to the trigrams in the picture, you can see the numbers. These are the corresponding Guas. Near the «Fire» is 9, and the trigram «Water» is 1.

Figure 5. Later Heaven Sequence Ba Gua

If you choose an orange dot on the merging curve of polar fish and stop your gaze for a few seconds, you’ll witness a transformation. The fish will start to rotate, changing their location. And the funnel formed by trigrams will start to draw into the center. Into a position from which these symbolic signs are read.

In the Ba Gua of the Early Heaven Sequence, the trigram «Heaven» looks down at the Earth spread out beneath it. The trigrams «Water» and «Fire» fixate the horizontal ring of our middle world, reminding the main law of existence in this reality – the middle way in everything. «Knowledge of harmony is called consistency. Knowledge of consistency is called wisdom. Enrichment of life is called happiness. The desire to control feelings is called persistence. A living being full of strength is aging – this is called a violation of the Tao. The one who does not follow the Tao, dies prematurely».

The Ba Gua of Later Heaven Sequence generating the vertical axis of Fire-Water forms a ring of eight cardinal directions with potentials of the correspoding trigrams.

The Fire which crowns the image characterizes the burning hot and dry south wind. The Earth, stretching in the south-west, hints at the natural landscape of China and the range of the Himalayan Mountains. The west and north-west carry the potency of the Metal element and represent autumn, the time of decline. Here are the Kunlun Mountains, the ancient prototype of the world mountain, where, according to the legends, lives the primal forefather Fu Xi and his sister Nuwa. In the caves of Kunlun, as the legend says, the immortals enjoy their life, eating amrita. «To the south of the red river, to the west of the shifting sands, there lives a man with two snakes ringed in his ears. He received many melodies from heaven and gave them to people». There, according to the legends, are the gates to the sky and stretches «the valley of the heavenly sacraments, which is at the height of two thousand lives». The north represents cold winter winds and the invasions of the barbarians. The east and southeast embodies the energy of growth and fertility, which was called the Wood. Thus, interwoven in the material reality, the streams were transformed into Wu Xing – the five creating lights.

Each trigram corresponds to one of the natural forces, which are divided into four Yin and four Yang.

Family traditions have always been respected in China. Many families in the province, even with partners and children, live together under one roof despite the number of family members. And in every house, there is an altar of ancestors, whom they ask for protection of the family and support in different matters. In China, it is considered that peace at home means harmonious 6 types of relationships in the family. 8 trigrams were also considered as 8 family members.

«The Mother» is the most Yin. Three Yin – receiving and all-forgiving.

«The Father» – the most Yang. Three Yang – strong, courageous and full.

Yang trigrams. Three sons: the eldest, the middle and the younger ones. Solid line of Yang nature at the first level characterizes the trigram «The Eldest Son», on the second level – «The Middle Son», on the upper level – «The Younger Son».

Three Yin trigrams – three daughters: the eldest, the middle and the younger one. They are determined by the position of the Yin line. A dashed Yin line at the first level characterizes the trigram «The Elders Daughter», on the second level – «The Middle Daughter», on the upper level – «The Younger Daughter».

For convenience, each trigram received a number.

Ba Gua of Later Heaven Sequence is associated with the name of one of the rulers – a valiant Wen Wang. Having received knowledge from a Taoist teacher, he skillfully used it in military campaigns and in government.

«According to the legends, he was tall and dark-haired, with slightly squinted eyes of different colors. During the reign of the cruel prince Zhou Zhou as a faithful, but fair official he was subject to repressions. In prison, he had a wonderful dream. A heavenly ruler appeared to Wen Wang, dressed in a black robe. The Jade Emperor stood at the crossing of the Linghujing River. At his back Wen Wang saw an old man with gray mustaches and eyebrows. The heavenly ruler turned to Wen Wang:

– Chan, I give you a good teacher and assistant, his name is Van».

Wen Wang courteously bowed to the old man, who replied with the
