Hi Lookup,
It's a lot of information to digest at one time, especially if you have beliefs about it. How about approaching this from a more neutral viewpoint, and just experimenting with one thing at a time. Even in the East Feng Shui has all kinds of strange religious beliefs that distort it, so I find the best way for me is "scientific". I try it to see if it works, and I view it from a pure energy viewpoint. I see it as stimulating a natural energy grid. There are no gods involved there!
