BaZi/SaJu/Fortune Telling- what is all this mumbo jumbo??

SaJu is the Korean name meaning 4 pillars of destiny (Sa= 4 & Ju= Pillars) and BaZi denotes something similar (Ba= 8 & Zi=Characters in Chinese which make up the 4 pillars). Reading the future or ‘fortune telling’ happens to be one of the outcomes of being able to read a BaZi chart accurately. Why is this the case/how is this possible?

From here on down, I want to preface this by saying that although there are plenty of different opinions of what BaZi is online, I will be writing my own thoughts on this all. So this is my own personal take on things you won’t find anywhere else!

Please note: In no way am I encouraging you to adopt my beliefs. These opinions are entirely my own, even my own master has her own different opinions. So don’t take things too seriously and read with an open mind! Also, it’s hard to answer what BaZi is, as to understand one thing means a need for an explanation on a broader concept. I will try break things up and share my view the best I can, in as little words as possible.

To put it simply & mechanically: BaZi is an ancient Chinese birth chart reading system involving your birth chart’s 8 character make up (representing your base character composition as a human being), and the timeline and flow of universal energies that interact with your base make up over time. Attempting to read it, is in my opinion, the act of trying to read the secret/internal ‘coding’ to our lives, looking at our lives from a 4D vantage point of view. There are two core concepts to understand scientifically about my theory, 1) is how we are unknowingly affected by neutrinos and all that is quantum whilst experiencing life in this 3rd dimension, and 2) is the 4th dimension (or more).

Part 1) Now to expand on what I am speaking about neutrino’s, which is the more micro understanding of how I believe we are intricately influenced to create pre-determined actions & reactions in a controlled way, which causes outcomes that are readable on a birth chart:

Part of what BaZI is I believe, is the act of attempting to read the influence of neutrinos (click link) passing through our bodies every second of everyday, and the effects they cause on our body/mind, and those of those around us at a quantum level. I believe these neutrinos have some effect on us in a way that influences our ability for total self-control and free will; puppeteering us to feel, think, and make decisions in ways that cause us to create pre-destined, predictable outcomes that are out of our direct control.

In other words, I believe what we broadly call ‘universal energy’ in modern day spirituality jargon, is partially the interpretation of different ‘flavours’ of neutrinos passing through us and changing its ‘vibe’ as it goes through us to communicate different ‘auras’ if I was to use quantum mechanic lingo. Because of the different ways our bodies (each different to the next) react to each differing flavour of neutrino affecting us in the moment, and because the passing neutrino that will effect you in the specific way it’s supposed to is moving in a certain direction through a predictable 60-year cycle, and because the flow of your chart is laid out from the moment of your birth, it allows a reader to have an idea of what is going to happen to you based off the interaction of the type of neutrino (and its corresponding anti-matter partner a.k.a anti-neutrino) colliding with your 8 character base makeup at any given time will be. Though I do not know which type of neutrino is creating which outcome, I theorise that this interaction of neutrinos affecting our base composition + its interactions with the 60 year cycle; are what influence our thoughts, emotions, actions, and therefore behaviour, and also that of those around us. Because we all start on different points on the 60 year cycle depending on our gender + the timing of our birth, and because of the numerous possible 8 character configurations available, the interaction of energies possible for people at any given time are countless, and we can clearly see that reflected in the many different types of personalities and reactions people have when they are exposed to the same stimulus, at the same time in the world.

Though each 60 year cycle is the same in its ordering of years, it is also slightly different as time goes by. This is because the world and universe is also going through a different cycle of its own, creating different energetic results and outcomes for different generations- hence the cyclic but slightly different differences in people’s thoughts and behaviours over Millenia. It’s partially why in my opinion many who study history come to realise the saying, “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes”,

I will continue to refine and explain my belief over time. This is the core gist for now as confusing and absurd as it may sound.

To be more specific:

Imagine the 4 pillars/8 characters as like your body/bone structure/internal organs and working/make up. You are born with a certain set of preset characteristics and functions that will interact with the next 50 or so % of the equation which is the time flow or 'luck periods’ you enter as somewhat depicted on the spinning wheel above. If you put yourself in different situations/circumstances in life, you will react differently to the same stimulus. If you are put under stress, you will inevitably feel differently or feel pushed to act in a different way than when you are relaxed and happy, leading you to a different outcome. For example, think about yourself going through the 4 seasons of a year. I think in each season you are bound to feel a slight difference in yourself just by nature of the weather affecting your mood or thoughts on what to do or how you would do it. Now imagine this actually happening all year round, irrespective of the season. That behind the scenes, there is a universal weather storm, sending you energy every second of everyday that you are largely unaware of. We are constantly, from the moment we are alive, bombarded by these universal energies, which modern day quantum physics is understanding with the study of neutrinos, and there is a set timeline of these energies playing out on us at all times. Everyone begins at a different stage of the timeline, same sex twins have it a bit different but I won’t go into this right now. These universal energies and our individual different timelines collide with the numerous different possible set characteristic/bone structure combinations possible, and therefore cause many countless permutations and possibilities of personalities, actions/reactions, and therefore lived life experiences here on earth.

Whether we are aware of this or not, we are practically puppets to these energies, playing out and living life exactly as they are affecting us as they influence the actions we create and the actions of those around us. When we follow the universal energies and are aligned with them with trust, we call that following our intuition. By following our intuition, we are naturally aligning with our internal guidance system leading us to the predestined route our charts depict for our lives. It is also the case however that having complete disconnection from your intuition is also still leading you to the predetermined place. Why is this the case? Because it’s impossible to fight the neutrinos as mere humans as they pass through our bodies and interact with our atoms to feel certain things that make us act in distinct ways, producing predictable outcomes. We are all at the mercy of this process, and even more so when we are not even consciously aware of any of it and how it is affecting our lives.

But here’s the difference: if you could know what was going to happen, how you were going to feel, when you need to be careful, or be easy on yourself etc that would be game changing, no? For example, even if we are bound to experience an event that eventually breaks us up with our spouse on a certain month, with this knowledge in mind before it happens, we can be compassionate to ourselves and to the other for the event occurring. This is different than experiencing confusion, anger, blame, or endless rumination for why things are happening the time and way it does. With this knowledge in hand, we can chuckle to ourselves and know that for whatever reason, this was always destined to happen in our lives at that point in time. Maybe you can reflect on the situation and look at it as a teacher, or view the outcome of the situation as the stimulus that pushed you onto the next best thing. Whatever it is, with prescience in mind, it becomes easier to understand that everything occurs ultimately at the right time, that there was only ever going to be one outcome. This all makes it easier to forgive yourself and the other on the lack of control we all experience in life, allowing you to find the silver lining in every moment. And yes, I believe that if you are to find out what your chart says and act differently because of it, that it was ultimately destined for you to meet me or a chart reader to have it read to you and influence you in anyway it has.

I believe BaZi gives evidential support to the De Broglie-Bohm Pilot Wave Theory in quantum mechanics, and that this theory can help us to explain what is occurring at a quantum level throughout our known universe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlXdsyctD50

If we all had free will, it would be literally impossible for me to accurately predict anything at all about someone’s life without knowing something about them beforehand. The fact that I can predict the gist of will happen and when, to a random person’s life at different points and time in their life, based off a chart generated from their birth details, whilst knowing absolutely nothing at all about them, proves that there is no such thing as free will. If everyone was making decisions by their own volition every second of every day, creating their life the way they wanted it to be, it would be literally impossible for me to guess anything at all about them with any precision based off their birth time/chart unless it was all predestined. Being able to read a BaZi chart accurately proves that nothing is random, that there was never such a thing as an alternate outcome ‘if I had done this or that’, because it is always the thing that was shown on the chart that was going to happen. I also believe that it gives proof that we all live in some sort of simulation as mind-bending and scary as that might seem, as everything is happening on-time, in a pre-determined manner, and that BaZi is akin to reading the secret coding to the simulation.

So how does this relate to the quantum mechanics video above? The reason for this is because I theorise that the neutrinos passing through us MUST then be deterministic and follow a predestined route where its travel can be calculated and is not in a constant state of unpredictability when it passes through us. As it goes through us it causes the influence its supposed to, like an invisible puppet thread, causing us to think a thought/feel an emotion/act in a way that causes us to create an end result that is predestined and predetermined for our lives as well as all the lives of those around us.

As a side point to this all, I also think this connection is able to help build on the misunderstanding of BaZi/astrology as a predominantly spiritual field to a scientific one.

I also want it to be clear that I am not the first to think about this neutrino-human connection, but that full credit should be given to the creator of Human Design, Alan Robert Krakower, who I believe was the first person to do so. As time passes through my practice of BaZi, and the study and experience of my chart as well as the lives of others, my conviction on this theory has only continued to grow. Though our modern science has yet been able to prove all of it scientifically, it truly seems to me to be the most probable explanation that answers some of the deepest questions of the mechanics of how our life on this universe comes together.

Part 2) let’s speak about dimensions.

Each additional dimension, going from 0D-7D or whatever more, provides a whole new way to experience life. Please watch this excellent video that clearly explains each dimension and its limits, as well as what each dimension has the possibility to open up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gPFxMHWV8w.

We all live in a 3-Dimensional world here, experiencing life from a 3D point of view. We are limited by our senses, and are constrained by the dimension of time. We are unable to see through/move through objects, or look at life from above, side ways, or below, and we are also unable to stop time from travelling linearly in one direction (birth-death).

If we were to enter the 4th Dimension, we would be able to look at life from above or from any angle, able to look inside of objects or our bodies, and we would be able to live outside the constraints of time as that would no longer exist in the way we experience it. As the video I shared above neatly puts it, it’s as if we would gain the ability to look at our life as a timeline in a video editing software like Final Cut Pro. “The viewer watches the video frame by frame, but the creator would be able to see the whole video all at once. A 4D being would look at our entire existence in the same way a 3D being looks at a 2D object on a flat piece of paper.”

Sidebar: It’s said that those who encounter NDE’s (near death experiences) all seem to experience this floating out of body phenomenon where they can see everything happening below, hear all the thoughts of those around their body, and recount things accurately that happened in different rooms or areas that they physically should not be able to see/detect. They also claim to experience a cessation or warping of the feeling of time. I believe that what they are experiencing is the 4D temporarily, as they are no longer trapped in the 3D world/body and their ‘soul/spirit’ vibrates or passes to a higher level before being sent back to Earth for whatever reason.

This ties back into what I am trying to say fundamentally- I believe that BaZi is a system that was given to us for whatever reason by an intelligence that allows us to understand and view our 3D life from a 4D vantage point, from the time of our birth. That it was given by an intelligence/’spirit’ that exists in a higher dimension, possibly 5th or 6th or more; who can see and understand our lives devoid of time; and who understands the mechanics of our multi-dimensional universe at such a high degree, that it was able to map out in a way a human can try to understand and learn to read, each of our lives from the moment we are born until our end (BaZi Chart).

What that implies at the very 1st level of possibility, is that we live in a deterministic 3D world where all of our lives are on-track and on-time with what is supposed to happen, and that everything is happening in a way that is already pre-ordained, exactly how it’s supposed to happen. That there are no such things as accidents or mistakes, and that there is every possibility that our lives are being/can be ‘viewed’ in some sense of the word by something existing in the 4th dimension or higher.

As one thing leads to another, I’ll move only onto the 5th dimension but stop there as things get too messy in the if’s and what’s, every dimension we move up.

Should we move onto the 5th dimension, a further implication is added; in that the world/multi-verse theory comes to play, and where a 2nd level of possibilities could exist where we live in one of many existences where 1 specific timeline of actions/reactions are occurring, and where in another universe, we are acting/reacting to the same situation in a different way; which continuously branches out into more action/reaction possibilities which are being experienced in different universes.

That would imply that in this life, there is the possibility that we could be changing and editing possibilities that are happening in parallel to another life, and that in a BaZi chart, what I am reading are the possibilities of various occurrences, none of which are set, but that change depending on the state of actions a person or particle or thing takes up in this world, that alters the possibilities occurring in another world. This would seem to support the argument of the many worlds theory and how a particles seems to change at a quantum level when being observed, to alter the viewers reality itself.

OR it could also mean that in a 5th dimensional universe, there is the possibility that there is again in this life, a predetermined outcome which is set, and that there just happens to be many other parallel universes, that also have predetermined set outcomes, and that in each life or in the multiverse, we are all living predetermined lives that are slightly different to the universe before it. This would seem to make sense to an argument where there is a higher power that wishes to experience itself and see all possible routes before making a choice in its own reality or universe or world; or creator who wanted to experience its creations for who knows what reason.

But for all intents and purposes, these are the base of my theories and I am simply trying to communicate that I believe I have made a connection with my niche field of study to something greater, and to that which quantum science and many theorists around the world are currently investigating; and I hope to help share my thoughts with the world and other fields of study, so that further connections and supporting arguments can be made or debated. I am here for the plight of understanding mankind and our existence, and hope to contribute to this adventure in any way. So thats my intent and purpose for sharing what I am here as wild as the things I am saying might sound.

Are you a shaman/do you partake in witchcraft?

Absolutely not. Although I can see myself having fun dressing up in funky outfits, shaking broken tree branches and burning worn underwear for some whacky reason, I unfortunately am not a shaman or wizard, and simply have learned how to read the ancient chart system (after much mind bending effort) 1 v 1 under an experienced master as her apprentice.
