Welcome to our journal at 13 Voices!

We are going through a phase of changes as required by Yi 易.  As we progress, more practitioners and learners of Chinese Metaphysics here will share with you our Feng Shui case studies and academic findings.

We welcome non-commercial contributions. Please write to:  admin @13voices.com (without the space).

This is a journal by practitioners and learners who aim to share and learn.  It is only through transparency and research work that Chinese Metaphysics will truly serve the public at large.

13 Voices is not about 13 practitioners.  Neither is it about a specific school or lineage of Feng Shui or system in Chinese Metaphysics. The practitioners who contribute on this space may be from certain lineages but we do not aim to promote any schools or lineage.

Rather, we focus on sharing information and knowledge of Chinese Metaphysics with case studies.  We prefer to promote the art and the science rather than to glorify individuals into masters and put them on the pedestal for mere admiration.  Such practice do not meet with the demands of 21st century consumer needs.  I.e. regardless of lineages, backgrounds and claims, Feng Shui must yield results within a reasonable period of time. If it doesn’t, it is only through detailed survey that will pinpoint the problems for rectification.  There is no magic or coincdence in Feng Shui.

Contrary to popular perception, Feng Shui is a specialised field.

The knowledge, skills and research involved for each property is as good as any technical construction survey.  It is not the master that creates ‘magic’ for Feng Shui to work.  It is the Chinese science in Feng Shui that is creating opportunities for harmony and prosperities.

The practitioners are just as human as any professionals in other fields.

Do a check on your own perception of Feng Shui and the information you assume. Let go of the fallacy that the knowledge or skill stops with one school, one method, one lineage or one master.

The moment you see Chinese Metaphysics and Feng Shui as is, you are your own guru.

You will cast away the unnecessary perceptions & practices, and, seek for the right information to meet your personal needs as a Consumer, Student or Practitioner.

Good Luck!

Research Segment

The second segment gets down to business with academic matters ranging from the basic Chinese classics to practical experiences. This segment is for advanced learners, researchers, and fellow practitioners. We call this the Research segment.

We will be discussing the results of our researches and we will be engaging the members to contribute to the exchange of information. E.g. We have done lots of research (both academic text and practical) and we want to share what we know. In return, we want to learn what you know and together, we will make this metaphysics world a better-informed world, by being specific and empirically focused.
