LIU FENG Shui Grand View is the trademark philosophy developed by Grand Master Chi-Jen Liu. From decades of research and experience in feng shui and related studies, he has defined 130 factors that affect who you are.
These factors are energy forces that influence your well-being and success in life. They can affect you at any given time and their strength varies depending on your priorities, stage of life, way of life, and your awareness. The holistic consideration of all of these influential factors, or grand view perspective, gives you the ability to truthfully see yourself within the context of your life.
The 130 factors can be categorized into two types: 1) predestined and 2) adjustable. You have little control over the predestined factors that established the foundation of your life. The adjustable factors are more easily changed and developed to promote your well-being. Because everything is connected, when you improve one factor, you trigger a chain reaction that affects other factors and creates positive change in your life.
This article series on Grand View Feng Shui will reveal the 130 factors so that you can explore how these forces define and affect who you are. Hopefully, this awareness inspires you to make adjustments for the better.
Factor #23: Religion
For the most part, a religion is a pre-defined cultural or belief system based on narratives of sacred histories. There are many different religions, each with its own worldview.
For those of you who are devoted to your religion, it may very well be the determining factor of your lifestyle, ethics, and philosophy of life, having a large impact on the choices you make. If you are only mildly religious or are liberal in your religious beliefs, you will possibly be more open to alternative views and choices as you seek solutions to life’s trials.
Every religion has their own deity(ies), symbols, traditions, and rituals that guide you in your religious practice, embody hope, and provide answers to life’s questions. These practices and symbols affect how you see the world and relate to the people around you, informing your health, well-being, mentality, sexuality, personal decisions, and social behavior. For instance, religion can restrict the type of food you eat or define appropriate sexuality. Some religions allow for polygamy, while other belief systems adhere to monogamy.
Your religion can also affect how you view death. There are religions that have one heaven and one hell and there are religions that have multiple levels of heaven and hell, while others teach reincarnation and multiple lifetimes.
As you can see, your religion can have a great impact on your life. It is important to examine your beliefs and ask yourself if your religion serves you in a way that allows you to grow, expand your knowledge of life, find the truth, and evolve as a person and a human being.
