OUR READING · A PATH TO EXPLORE

Feng-shui

What does this tradition say about experience, knowledge and transformation? We approach these questions with consciousness as our centre, listening to the language of each source.

Gonzalo Olivares Velázquez · Spiritus Mundi

1 · Listen to the sources

How these passages were chosen: from the works assigned to this tradition, in alphabetical order, the first passage of each whose quoted words name consciousness, awareness, soul, spirit or knowledge (in English or Spanish); one per work, up to four. The choice is by vocabulary only: a passage may agree with our reading, disagree with it, or leave the question open.

«The parallel between the body and the earth has not been chosen as an arbitrary metaphor but reflects the Chinese view of the wholeness of the universe not divided rigidly into the categories of Western theology (matter and spirit) or science (living and dead). Instead the 'dragon man' looks upon existence as a continuum, much as C. G. lung saw the universe: the external macrocosmic world being reflected in the internal microcosmic world» — declara que el paralelo cuerpo-tierra no es metáfora arbitraria sino la visión china de un universo entero, no repartido en las categorías occidentales de materia y espíritu ni de vivo y muerto; y compara ese continuo con el universo de C. G. Jung, cuyo apellido el troceo imprime *lung*

2 · Ask what each source declares

Who knows, and what is transformed? Is the relationship between inner experience and the world declared, disputed, or left open? Let the passage determine the answer before bringing it into dialogue with our reading.

For us, these paths meet in consciousness. Which passage converses with that reading, and which qualifies or contradicts it? Save it with your own note.
