Do We Change the World?

The age-old question is, “Can human beings fit seamlessly into the world?” Or does our very presence tip the scales to imbalance. In Feng Shui the answer is yes.  Humans cause an imbalance in the world and the goal of Feng Shui is for us to fit ourselves into the world in the least disruptive way possible. The belief is that this will not only benefit the world but we, humans will be happier and have a better life as well. Feng Shui philosophy does not promote the idea that our presence is all bad.  If humans were not here the energy of the universe would be static. We are constantly changing things by tipping the balance.  Quantum physics teaches us that we cannot observe the universe without changing it.  For instance if we want to observe electrons, they change. So we have to realize that since we are also made up of electrons, observations of ourselves can change us. So, as many have said, “the world is what we make it.” But what about the “real” world?” you ask.  “Doesn’t that exist in spite of us?” Consider the Bohr Principle of Complementarity: There is no reality until that reality is perceived.  According to this theory reality depends upon what we choose to observe and what we choose to observe depends upon our thoughts. In Feng Shui our thoughts are our intentions.
