Rampok CPM Four

This energy is created at the time a structure is built and once contained inside a house or building, the flying stars are a coded language for a type of magnetic field. The magnetic field unique to the structure endures and has a predictable influence on living beings who dwell inside.

Going back to the origins of Feng Shui as a predictive art some 3,000 years ago, the flying stars were derived from the astronomical influences and an association with the stars of the Big Dipper. So, a "flying star" is a type of energy which can be contained in a structure, but can also move around, float or "fly." In fact, we have an American saying "My how time flies," and that is a major Feng Shui concept!

We assign numbers to the stars and they total 9 and are paired up into 81 basic combinations. These numbers, as stars, are only loosely related to any kind of numerology, and yet we often see some misinterpretations of the flying stars just based on the numbers connected with them. In Chinese culture, the number 4 sounds similar to a word that means death, so there is a cultural prejudice against the number 4. This is one of the enduring myths about the number 4 which has caused people to shy away from addresses with the number 4 in them or variations on the same theme such as avoiding the 4th floor. This is a shame because if a number sounds like something else in one particular language, it just doesn't carry any real universal, energetic significance. In American culture for instance, the number 7 is considered lucky. And yet, what if the word "seven" were to be maligned or feared because it sounded similar to "severe" or to "sever."
