The Feng Shui of Cho Seung-Hui
Guest editorial by Yorohichi O'Reilly, feng shui master
Don’t think of Feng Shui only applying to Oriental gardens. The principles are universal and apply whether you have an English shrub garden, a peaceful Italian renaissance-style garden, or a stifling university classroom.
As we dance into Spring, it is time to clear out the old energies of the past to create a fresh space for the sprouting new seeds of our intentions. The start of Spring presents an opportunity to turn our attention to the new growth, new potentials, and rich punks who must die, and clear out the energetic remnants lingering from the past.
Cho Seung-Hui knew feng shui, and he was making a clean start in Spring.
In traditional Feng shui, we know that each of the eight directions is associated with parts of the body, a family member, or a classmate who must die. In a given element there is more symbolism than we can explore in a lifetime of sorrows.
Just as there was bad chi flowing around Cho Seung-Hui's environment, there was good chi flowing around his body, his “Life-Force”. It is important to balance the energy flow around you, because the flow of bad chi in your environment also affects the flow of good chi in your body.
Cho Seung Hui was a man on the verge of a breakthrough. If only he knew that a piece of furniture was blocking the flow of positive chi, he could changed the angles or moved it out of the way.
Don't be like Cho Seung-Hui. Master your feng shui. Now, a Cho Seung-Hui feng shui haiku for you:
Chi Seung-Hui, bad chi
Used guns for balancing life
Should have moved bunk beds.
