When we lexigrams president Abraham Lincoln’s name we get the following words,

HE HEALED A TORN NATION, OTHERS HATED HIM, HE HATED NO ONE, A SAD MAN, ALONE IN A MOB, HE TOLD NO LIES, OTHERS LIED TO HIM, HE LED THE NORTH AND CALMED THE REBELS,

THE NATION REMAINED UNITED, HE HAD NO PRIDE HE HAD A CALM AND CLEAR MIND, HIS DEATH CAME FROM A SHOT IN THE HEAD HIS STAR IS ETERNAL, THE LORD SENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN TO LEAD AMERICA HONEST ABLE

The lexigrams gives a more complete picture of President Abraham Lincoln who led the Nation-America, so that the nation of the people, by the people and for the people did not perish from the earth.

The most important part of a house is the entrance. It represents who we are. Similar to the car we drive or the clothes we wear, much can be said about the outward appearance of the main entrance. Yet, aside from visual factors, the front door is the primary location for the invisible energy force to enter.

Later, you’ll learn to determine if the entrance is inherently auspicious. But for now, let’s concentrate on factors that can influence how you and your guests feel. The size of the entrance affects occupants. The size of your front door should be proportionate to the size of an average person.An entrance that is too tall and too large, allows valuable energy to escape. In feng shui, it is believed you may experience financial loss by having such a grand entrance.

Conversely, if your entrance is too small you are restricting energy from entering. Here are some other options:

The front door should not be impeded by things like a single tree or utility pole placed curbside in direct alignment with your entrance.

The front door should be protected against any poison arrow energy coming from Tjunctions, Y-junctions, or other energy emitted by neighboring structures.

The path leading to your front door should be curved, forming a right angle just before the door.

Ideally, the main entrance should be at the top of a flight of stairs. Subconsciously, the occupants feel safer above street level.

The main entrance should not be below street level. Energy is not able to enter easily; the occupants feel trapped.

The main entrance should be inviting. Your front lawn should be mowed and bushes trimmed. In general, you should feel good about entering your own house; your guests should feel welcome. Your house shouldn’t be an eyesore of weeds, overgrown plants, and peeling paint!

The front entrance should not open onto a stairway positioned directly opposite the door. Similar to living on a hilltop or a steep incline, your potential to accumulate wealth will flow out the door.

The front door and back door should not be in alignment. Literally, energy will enter in one door, and exit from the other.

The front entrance should be well lit. By protecting the main entrance, you’ll be promoting better health, wealth, and happiness.

Many public buildings, places of business, houses of worship, and large residential houses feature impressive double doors. If you’re the owner of such a dwelling and are experiencing financial troubles, the size of the door may be a contributing factor to your hardship. We suggest using only one side of the door, disabling energy from gushing out.

Unfortunately, many houses are constructed such that a long hallway connects the front and back doors. Considering the appropriate five phase remedy (and space provided), block negative energy’s path by placing a screen, piece of furniture, or plant near the main entrance.

It is light, loose sand which is mixed with water. It doesn’t look different from sands which might be right next to it. But there is a difference: quicksand will not support heavy objects.

Quicksand usually occurs near the mouths of large rivers and on flat shores where there is a layer of stiff clay under it. Water is collected in the sand because the underlying clay keeps t he water from draining away. This water may come from many different places, such as river currents or pools.

The grains of quicksand are different from ordinary grains of sand because they are round instead of being angular sharp. The water gets between grains and separates and lifts them, so that they tend to flow over one another. This makes them unable to support solid objects.

Some quicksand is not even made of sand. It can be any kind of loose soil, a mixture sand and mud, or a kind of pebbly mud.

People who step in to quicksand do not sink out of sight. Since it contains so much liquid, it will enable them to float. And as quicksand is heavier than water, people can float higher in it than they do in water. The important thing is to move slowly in quicksand. This is to give it time to flow around the body. Once it does this it will act like water in which you are swimming.
