That is the address of White House, the official residence of the President of United States. Is there anything to do with the feng shui? The answer is probably yes.
In one orthodox school of feng shui, numbers are used to represent the eight trigrams, or eight ba-qua's. Some westerners take this as numerology because they think anything relating to numbers should be classified as numerology. I have no research on their thinking and therefore I cannot comment on this. However, I am going to tell you that 16 is one set of numbers that is affecting us very much and it can mean supremacy, power and authority, to name but a few.
In this orthodox school of feng shui which I am going to describe, there are two groups of numbers which are not only used for fortune telling but also are the ones that control this solar system. The Chinese take the solar system as the universe although I understood that universe has far greater sphere than the solar system has.
One of the two groups is called "Ho To" or "river map", hence the name of my website. The other is called "Lok Shu" or the books of Mr Lok. If we take the last word of these two character groups, it will form another sentence as "To Shu", which, in Chinese, will literally mean library. The word library in the Chinese sense means everything since you can find almost any kind of book in a library assuming funding of the library is not a constraint. These words already tell that they are everything and are controlling our way of learning, thinking, etc.
In terms of numbering, "Ho To" has five groups of number. They are 1 and 6, 2 and 7, 3 and 8, 4 and 9, 5 and 10. Why five? We have five senses, five elements, five fingers, and indeed the number five is the centre in the "Ho To" grid. In terms of direction, 1 and 6 are situated in the north, 2 and 7 in the south, 3 and 8 in the east, 4 and 9 in the west, and 5 and 10 reside in the centre of the grid. If we add 5 to 1, we have 6.
Adding 5 to 2, we have 7. 5 plus 3 gives 8 whereas 5 plus 4 produces 9. Without doubt, five plus five equals ten. If we reverse the process and subtract five from 6, we get one. Subtracting 5 from 7, we get 2. Readers can complete the process.
As said, 1 and 6 represent supremacy, power and authority. Without a doubt, who does not have the kind of power and authority when one occupies the White House? Who does not have the kind of supremacy when one is the master of White House?
Therefore, is it a co-incidence that the American picked the right number, the 1600 of Pennsylvania Avenue, as the residence of the President of United States of America?
Another group of numbers, called "Lok Shu" is from one to nine. The arrangement is
Readers with quick eyes will see that the sum of any line, be it horizontal, vertical, diagonal, equals 15, which is three times of 5. Is it 3 dimensions of five? I leave this to the readers to figure it out.
There are so many things to tell about the numbers and the ba-qua associated with each number but I think I have to stop here because it is a process which demands at least hundred, if not thousand of pages.
