Dear English reader,
If you do read Hebrew
I would like to suggest
that you make the effort &
read also the Hebrew text
on this site.
This is not for reasons of discrimination…
A lot of effort has also been put into the English version but
alas, the two books that I published have not been translated (yet)
and you might find it amusing to browse the contents of
“Lessons in understanding the present” (second name: “All is connected”)
that appears in the Hebrew part of this site, as well as
enjoying some recipes (and the
illustrations!)
in "Sip a soup - Food for body & soul and to takeaway".
Both of the books appeared in my own edition "Food for Thought".
The purpose of this site
You might be interested in one or more subjects discussed here
& would like to ask me for more details. Please use the Email link or
telephone.
Personal attention will be offered to your queries, doubts, suggestions and
whatever.
Rowing through life
with health and joy
is the main goal
I find worthwhile
pursuing.
A legend has it that King Wen saw a turtle whilst
pondering about life on
the banks of old river Lo.
On the turtle’s back, the Chinese king saw the 8 Trigrams
that form
the basis to the “Book of Changes” (“I Ching”).
According to traditional Chinese culture this book enables
to define and
analyze any given or imaginary situation
and provides counseling on how to improve one’s condition.
I drew my own
version of this turtle.
Please click the large turtle’s sections at the
top
of this page
to view the icons and names of the Trigrams.
I chose the turtle as my emblem, not only because of the
historical connotation, but also because I believe
in
things developing slowly & organically.
What’s more, “Carrying my Home with
me” – as does the turtle – is
in my opinion the essence of the insight and the benefit
we can get when
adopting Feng Shui
as a way of life.
8
When “lying down”, the number 8
symbolizes infinity and the law
of the ever changing Universe.
This symbol also implies
Eternal movement and the cycles of nature and human life.
The endless repetition of all phenomena in nature
is considered by the more insightful teachings; they always detect
Unity and the connection between everything that
happens in the universe.
This conception lies in the 'soul'
of the various teachings related to
Cosmology & Chinese Metaphysics.
Some of these are: The understanding of the
Yin and Yang principle, the 5 Transformations,
Traditional Chinese Medicine, The 9-Star KI
and the Four Pillars of Destiny Astrology systems,
The I Ching ("the Book of Changes") and the
different branches of Classical Feng Shui.
