Dear Mark,

In my opinion:-

1. Books

If you are reading Lillian Too's books then go for more of `Shapes and Form' concepts. I personally feel that she is better at `Shapes and Form' FS than numerology topics such as Flying Star etc..

I personally feel that a person's inclination is an important factor in deciding which topics or subjects to go into.

For example, if one notice carefully, Harvard University or personnels in the university are more inclined towards `humanity' or subjects on humanity. (Less focus on mathematics).

Where else, those who studies at e.g. University of California or MIT, are more inclined towards logic or mathematics or such sciences.

Thus, one may have to examine carefully, what one's inclination is. For example, if a person enjoys or feels confortable with drawings or diagrams or pictures, then you may be more inclined towards Shapes and Form Feng Shui. Some one told me that one consideration is that if a person likes to read books skipping thru the book then one could be in this category. While if the person is the type who reads a book page by page from Page 1 onwards.... than he she is more of the logical side. Or the right or left brain concept.

Thus, if a person's love is for logic or feels confortable in mathematics, then Flying Star type of Feng Shui is for the person - he will feel more at home with this method.

Pillars of Destiny - is not Feng Shui but rather.. considered more of Chinese divinity method. However, in Feng Shui, two key essence or information from Pillars of Destiny is more relevant in:

a. Finding out one's element and strength. This information is crucial to cures and enhancements in Feng Shui analysis. And the season and strenght (every 10 year luck period) is also looked at to ensure that any cures or enhancements made does not clash with one's element and strength in a particular season.

For Feng Shui books:-

Classics and academic books - Dr Evelyn Lip. Her books are always academic correct and tells the history correctly. They are quite old editions but are good source of guide for those doing basic research into Feng Shui.

Derek Walters. He wrote only two books on Feng Shui but these books give information instead of constantly providing some sort of advice.

Do avoid books that sell one every cure and enhancements. I believe books should provide good information and after providing the information, it is left to the user or the reader to aid them in further understanding the issue. I do not like books that `promise' the world and at the end of the day cause more damage than helping people.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
