Introduction

This article is written by an Engineer with some Architectural and broad Scientific Background, and as a sort of summation of over 35 years of study of the implication and effects of a wide range of what are popularly known as NEW AGE SCIENCES, though in fact they are all based on very old age empirical observations. But do keep in mind the saying “For those who believe – No proof is necessary and those who don’t, — No proof is sufficient”, and that it is difficult to prove an absence. If one insists on believing in ‘Fairies’ no evidence can be provided to prove their nonexistence to one’s satisfaction. “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence!”

For those with a more rational and practical approach to such subjects this summary will be found more than adequate.

• Vaastu / Feng Shui / Pyramidology / Geomancy / Dowsing and many other similar fields are today going way beyond what was perhaps the intent of the original practitioners of the subjects who only sought to build in consonance with Nature’s Laws and the principles of Architecture and Engineering as they then understood them, in their Locations. However, many of the principles for Living in Harmony with your Surroundings are quite General and applicable in most places.
• Better understanding of the basic principles of each of such fields can today allow us to eliminate the many ‘hair splitting’ accretions thereto and apply only the appropriate fundamentals as applicable to our present circumstances.
