The Path to Good Fortune the Path to Good Fortune: The Meng the Meng

Dr. Chung has done an incredible job at translating this ancient knowledge to a modern mainstream to the benefit of many who does not have the time or inclination to delve into deep ancient chinese textbooks. In addition, her nomenclature of using simple letter instead of chinese characters is rather creative. The historical and descriptive explanations of 5-elements and the step-by-step Meng divination methods makes it a well documented and scholarly writing but also entertaining and above all very practical. This is a MUST read and MUST do for any person in this world who wants to know when is your luck cycle starting and ending and what to do about it. Some more examples would be nice to have in this book but given the size of this book is probably more practical for the reader to obtain her other separate book Ways to Harmony which gives case studies of many famous personalities. I must add that anyone who has followed Dr. Chung forecast and prognosis knows she has been accurate over the many years. She specifically forewarned of waterly disasters for 2005 and earthquakes for 2006 which have proven correct.

I purchased a copy of "The Path to Good Fortune" a couple of months ago. I read it avidly, found it engaging, interesting and intensly practical. Lily Chung teaches the reader an essential concept to understanding Chinese metaphysics: To understand complex data as a whole unit, in this case, very much like a biome. What this gives to the reader is mental picture of the dynamics of any life situation that is a complete, interactive, and living entity. Although this is a metaphor, converting life's dynamics in this way makes them very clearly understood. If the book had only assisted me in this way, it was more than worth the investment.

Lily has accomplished something that no one has done. She brought the 1500 year old Chinese divination methodology to the twentieth century English World. This methodology is well known in many parts of China. But it has never had a holding anywhere else. It is amazing and in some senses freightening to realize how much of a person's life can be learned just by knowing the date of birth. I have known people with great wealth, fabulous fame and who have died a premature death. In one way or the other, they showed up in Meng by using Lily's methodology. The book is very well done. However, it will help if a kit can be included that all the diagrams and charts can be together. I copied them with my scanner and assembled them into a kit. But it would nicer if it was a part of the book. I recommend this book highly to those who wish to have a better understand of life and human nature.
