The Cosmic Trinity Heaven, Earth and Men Cosmic Energy in Chinese Metaphysics are the Three Key Factors that decides a person’s life. It is not a concept that belongs solely to Chinese Metaphysics but can be found in many beliefs. So what is Heaven, Earth and Men Cosmic Energy?

I had a classmate who was very talkative in class during my school days and my English teacher used to tell him that he needed to learn to do the right thing at the right time and at the right place. It only occurred to me that her advice back then bears similarity to the Cosmic Trinity when I was studying this topic.

Heaven – Right Time

Earth – Right Place

Men – Right Thing

But how do they affect to a person’s life and how then do we know when is the right time, where is the right place and what is the right thing to do? Chinese Metaphysics has the below corresponding theories to help us find out.

Heaven (Destiny, Luck) – Potential Intellect, Strength, Productivity, Wants, Responsibility Energy etc (Optimal time)

Destiny is the potential innate energies and their capacities that a person is born with. Luck is the transition cycle of these energies and from their interaction with Destiny, we can know the PEAK and LOW season of the energies or the optimal time in a person’s life time. Destiny and Luck are denoted by “time” and nothing can be done to change time. However, a person can time his endeavours with these information.

Earth (FENG SHUI) – House, Workplace, Social Circles etc (Environment)

FENG SHUI is the energy level and physical attributes of an environment. We can check the energy level of a place and for the right attributes if it supports a person’s destiny using FENG SHUI theories.

Men (Merit, Study) – Morals, Virtues, Ethics, Knowledge, Skills etc (Take Action)

Merit are accumulation of good and bad deeds and Study refers to the effort put in or how hard a person works towards his future and his choices in life.

In summary, each of the Three Key factor contributes 33.3% to affect a person’s future. Destiny cannot be changed but life and your future can be improved by changing the environment, take action and work hard especially if you know the optimal time that maximises advantage and minimise the disadvantage.  As the saying “Opportunity is for those who are ready”.


宇宙三元天地人能量一体是中华易学中决定人一生的三要素。它并不是一个仅属于中华易学的概念,而是可以在许多信仰中找到。那么天地人到底是什么?

在我上学时期,有一个非常喜欢在班上讲话的同学,我的英语老师曾经告诉他,他需要学会在正确的时间和正确的地点做正确的事情。多年后我在学习易学时,才想到她对这位同学的建议与宇宙三位一体的相似之处。

天 – 正确的时间

地 – 正确的地方

人 – 正确的事

但它们如何影响一个人的未来,我们又如何知道什么时候是正确的时间,哪里是正确的地点,什么是正确的事情?易学有以下相应的理论帮助我们找到答案。

天(命,运)- 智力, 能力,生产力,欲望,责任潜能等(最佳时间)

命是一个人与生俱来的内在潜能和容量。运就是这些能量的转换周期,从它们与命运的相互作用,我们可以知道一个人一生中这些能量的旺季和淡季或最佳时间。命运是由“时间”代表的,我们无法改变时间。但是,一个人可以用这些信息来计时他的努力。

地(风水)- 房屋,工作场所,社交圈等(环境)

风水也是环境的能量水平和属性。我们可以根据风水理论检查环境的能量水平和正确的属性,是否它支持一个人的命运。

人(积德,读书)- 道德,美德,知识,技能等(行动)

积德是善行和恶行的累积,读书是指一个人为他的未来付出的努力或努力程度和在生命中做的选择。

总而言之,三大要素各占33.3%。我们无法改变命运,但是一个人可以通过改变环境,行动和努力来改善自己的生活和未来,特别是当你知道什么时候是最佳时机以达到趋吉避凶。正所谓“机会是给有准备的人”。
