There are a few feng shui practitioners from the WEST do have discussion thru email with myself for exchanging ideas at metaphysical level.
Each and everyone of us has benefited from those bilateral/multilateral way of mutual discussion. Today, I would like to quote part of content written by one of them. This quotation (by westerner) speaks about how western mind sees metaphysics, although it does not represent 100% of western mind. Newvertheless, it represents majority of western society.
Kindly be noted that this quotation is a feedback to 2 of my articles as below:

Dear Master Soon
Good Morning.
I have been noticing the aspect of Feng Shui which you have introduced over a long period of time
concerning “the smell” and feel of chi. This is a very interesting subject indeed and my observation of this theme has followed a very
convoluted path whilst I have been studying Feng Shui.
Many Western people emphasize the fact that ” Feng Shui ” for them is about feel good environmental factors
If it is beautiful and feels good then it is “good ” Feng Shui.
However, what you are talking about is very complex indeed and Western people fail to appreciate the subtle nuances
and the multifaceted nature of chi.
I explain to them that a beautiful woman can kill you just as fast as an ugly one.
Her perfume can be intoxicatingly divine but the weapon she fires is deadly, swift and sure.
Western people think that if their home is beautifully decorated they have “good” Feng Shui
If they have an architect design their home and everyone gasps at its beauty they are very happy indeed.
On another level, I am fascinated by the content of your last two postings dealing with the sensory perceptual aspects of chi and the physical manipulation
of chi as in the one photograph you have provided. Since you have been mentioning this sensory aspect I have been trying to remember to focus on the sensory aspects where ever I go and I have been trying to discern the subtle and the not so subtle differences. The most obvious aspect of dead chi is the stench of a decaying dead bird (for example) The smell of a dump. The gentle shadings are not so strikingly obvious.
People truely fail to understand the complexity of an holistic organism let alone its existence in them.
Thank-you for stretching my mind and opening it to more and more.
