Time dimension theory revolves around numbers and reflects the basic fundamentals of Lo-shu Grid & Trigrams. The main tool in the formulation and understanding of this theory is the original Lo-Shu Square. In this square, the numbers One to Nine are arranged around the Nine Squares of the Lo-Shu Grid in such a way that any three numbers add up to fifteen in any direction whether calculated horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The number 15 express the number of days it takes for a moon's full waxing or waning cycle. The numbers also have meanings in accordance to the corresponding trigram.

The given trigrams of Kan, Kun, Chen, Sun, Chien, Tui, Ken, Li are readily used to energize the various life aspirations, according to Lo Shu grid. The interpretation and meanings of the numerals & combination ofnumerals are alsoamazing. I would like to sincerely appreciate the hard work done by the learned Authors, who have dedicated their lives in spreading the hidden knowledge of various ancient holistic sciences, to the society.

Some 4,000 years ago, Wu of Hsia, the first of the five mythical emperors of China, was working on the Hwang Ho (Yellow) River; trying to find a way to prevent the floodin g that regularly devastated the communities spread along the lower and middle streams of the river.

In the course of this research Wu found a tortoise shell, a highly auspicious omen as the people in those times believed that God lived inside tortoise and turtle shells. Wu and his colleagues discovered that the tortoise shell contained a perfect, three-by- three square on its back. This square, known as the Lo-Shu Grid, was remarkable because every horizontal, vertical, and diagonal row added- up to fifteen; the number of days between the new moon and the full moon. The number five, found in the central position was also highly regarded in ancient China. Wu and his advisors were thus excited by this finding.

Wu was made emperor because he successfully solved the flooding problems, but his real claim to fame was his discovery of tortoise shell. From this finding, ultimately evolved the Ching, feng shui, the Nine Star Ki, geomancy, Chinese astrology, Chinese numerology and trigram therapy.

Numerology appears to have developed independently in other parts of the world, at around the same time. Over the years, different scholars including pythagoras have modernized it to make it more suitable for their way of life.

We were introduced to Chinese numerology by Ms. Lillian Too, during our visit in 1998 to Singapore. We considered ourself very proficient in numerology, but knew nothing about this system. Amazed by its detailed and accurate results, we had been trying to assimilate more and more information on traditional Chinese numerology system, which is still being used in many parts of Asia. The main contents of this book deal with the details of the Chinese numerology based on magic Lo Shu Grid and trigram therapy. During the visit to Europe & USA in 2001, we noticed that the system is in use in these parts of the world as well.

In our practice, we have found Chinese numerology extremely useful in daily life. Using this system we are able to quickly build up a complete picture of a person just as soon as we know his or her date of birth. Once we do Chinese numerology readings in a Seminar people frequently express amazement at the speed & accuracy; since most divination methods need more data & take much longer to prepare and interpret the details and cures thereafter.

As per our experiences of many decades in various occult sciences no other system can provide as much information with the same ease that Chinese numerology based on magic Lo Shu Grid does. By using this treasurer, one can find cures for his/her missing number as well. We are sure that readers find this system, extremely fascinating and helpful in their day to day interaction with people and will able to enhance the weak sectors, by judicially choosing their house number, car number and mobile numbers; besides using trigrams, given in this book.
