Re: New Book - asto-alchem


OK Bob, a well argued post.
If by "QBL" you mean, as you explain, a "system of relationships"
(or correspondences, as i usually say), and not THE Hebrew Kabbalah,
sure, I can agree that a "QBL" is a universal key in Alchemical work.

Bob wrote <<If eastern has no QBL, then what is Feng Shui? Is it
not a system to demonstrate the relationships of the astrological
influences?>>

I see where you are going with this; but, technically, I wouldn't
equate Feng Shui with a "QBL". Rather, I'd describe I Jing as the
Far-Eastern "QBL", and Feng Shui as an application in a specific
domain...that of Te (earth Qi), whereas astrological influences are
demonstrated in their own domain of Tian (Heavenly Qi) through the
various astrological schools, which can stand on their own apart from
Feng Shui.
Additionally, "Form School" Feng Shui, a valid enough school,
representing perhaps the first Feng Shui school (descending from Yin
Feng Shui/ancestral and funerary orientations), doesn't really
account for astrological influences...but rather the flow of Earth
Qi, plain and simple.

Bob <<Does Mah Jong not contain all the same influences as the TARO
(Gypsy QBL)and other evolved playing cards?>>

I like that observation! I'm not well versed on Mah Jong, but can
anticipate its relationship to expressing traditional ideals...as
all ancient games do, chess and leela as two other heavy hitters.
