Qimen Manifestation has been gaining in popularity and prominence in the Chinese Metaphysics industry. Industry and Chinese metaphysics purists have thrown shade at it either through public forums or privately to their circle of students. Posed the question in Chat GBT and it will give you a straight answer i.e. Qimen Manifestation is a modern development rather than it being a classical Qimen Dunjia application. It is not even described in seminal Qimen texts such as 《烟波钩沉手》. But here’s the catch? Does it matter?
Truth be told, it doesn’t. The modern day Qimen Dunjia curriculum comprise of Strategic Execution, Qimen Forecasting and Qimen Manifestation. Depending on which school or academy one follows, it may differ slightly. Much of the original qimen dunjia applications lies in it being a strategic tool used by military strategists and the Royal Families. Amongst which, there are a few schools and different methods of calculating the chart. Most people these days use the Zi Run method which is said to be more closely aligned to what was practised by the Royal astrologers. Qimen Forecasting is an added tool to forecasting and appeals to many of the simplicity of its application.
Qimen Manifestation on the other hand, is a combination of elements of Magical/Taoist Qimen, strategic execution mixed with modern day Anthony Robbins’ style of motivational mind conditional towards constructive, disciplined and empowering thoughts filled with wholesome lifestyle practices of mediation and gratitude, along with an attempt to better harness the energies of time and space. Many authors and books such as “The Secret”, “Think and Grow Rich”, “Manifest” (Roxie Nafousi) have covered pretty much the same idea using different terms but without the elements of qimen dunjia.
Does it work? Of course it does. There are tons of quotes like “You are what you think you are”, “Change your thoughts and you change your world” as well as popular concepts like reframing your thoughts and mind for better inner peace and growth. The positive impact of positive thinking have been properly documented and researched and can reap real benefits for individuals. Therefore, most qimen manifestation frameworks often continue a mixture of some or all of these modern motivational techniques to ready the mind. Then comes in the icing on the cake which is the usage of qimen techniques/concepts and Taoist magic of fa Qimen. Is it part of traditional qimen? Yes and no but it really doesn’t matter if it works does it? Of course, there is a certain amount of marketing hyperbole involved as with most things these days. After all, schools without students cannot really survive. Can it help you? Sure it can. Will everyone get the same results and can it help everyone? No. There is a no single technique that offers the same consistency for everyone and the benefits will generally differ from person to person.
Therefore, the truth is, whether qimen manifesting is part of the classical curriculum of Qimen Dunjia really doesn’t matter as much as the value that it brings to one’s clients. In this line of work, the real value is not just in the accuracy of predictions or technical analysis, but in whether clients walk away feeling more positive, hopeful and more empowered. This is, ultimately, a coaching and consulting business, and emotional impact matters as much as, if not more than, technical skill.
Chinese Metaphysics is an evolving subject. The modern ZI Ping method of bazi is a departure from traditional methods while both the Shen method of Flying Stars and Xuan Kong Liu Fa are more recent interpretations of traditional Xuan Kong theory. Today, they are regarded as mainstream and some have even displaced the traditional methods of assessment. In fact, many bazi classics like 滴天髓, 三命通会, 穷通宝鉴 all cover different aspects of what is now regarded as the classic way of interpreting charts using concepts like 12 growth Phases etc, while some are merely commentaries on earlier literature works. What is considered classical today, is actually a long process of assimilating different works, theories, concepts and ideas that was probably once regarded as revolutionary and probably disregarded by the Chinese Metaphysics purists of that time.
