The Fabric of the Universe

Since childhood, I have been interested in human behavior, wondering what makes us tick and why we make certain decisions or choose specific paths. Most of us habitually observe and judge others, but when it comes to self-reflection, we are primarily in total darkness. It’s so easy to see in others how they are making wrong decisions and that they will face clear consequences very soon. But the truth is, we, as observers, make similar mistakes all the time, yet we cannot see them.

When I started working at age 19, I had a chance to observe people who were much older and more experienced than me. I liked the idea of a role model, somebody I could follow who might help me choose the right path, if there is such a thing. But very soon, I realized that most of the time, these experienced teammates were focused on other people, judging their bad choices, unable to see their flaws and blind spots. And even if they could see them, they would expend a significant amount of energy trying to cover them. So, after almost eight years of my “research, I realized that they do not have much to offer concerning life guidance.

DISCOVERING BAZI

I quit my job and took a different path. I started researching Buddhism and Taoism, and after a long search, I stumbled upon the Five Element and BaZi methods. After just a few weeks of interacting with people who knew a great deal about Eastern wisdom, my mind was blown away.

The world around us seems so solid, materialistic. Although we have developed various types of religions and spiritual activities, it’s hard to imagine how it all works, the good and evil, good behavior and bad behavior. When I began to learn about the Five Elements, I realized this is the mechanism: this is how the spiritual part of the world communicates and steers the physical part of our existence. When we are born into this world, we carry karma, a set of tasks, tools, credits, debts, and obligations that are attached to us. We earned karma in a previous life, and in the next life, we continue our journey with a new game plan. The game plan is written with Five Elements, in the form of a birth Chart. The Five Elements act as the fabric of the universe, ensuring that we humans are on a path of continuous development and evolution.

HOW TO HANDLE “BAD” CHARTS

Many people complain or grow depressed when they hear bad things about their charts. The truth is, those obstacles are given to us with a purpose: to finish the job or to pay the debts from a previous life. Once we realize this, dealing with a bad Chart and a bad destiny gets far easier. I always say to my clients: if you have a problem and you are very aware of its nature, using the Five Elements methodology, that problem is already 50% solved. The other 50% you have to work out. If you don’t know what is causing the problem, you spend your life blaming others and acting as a victim, resulting in very little learning; therefore, you pay very little of your debts back, resulting in a more difficult life and greater suffering.

Human suffering is, unfortunately, part of this life game, but with a little more understanding, we could reduce it and speed up our development. I find Five Element a crucial piece of information, a type of guidance that can ease our pain and give us the understanding that everything we do has a purpose and a sense of closure, and that it adds up to something greater than us.
