If you ever build a house or are in the process of building one, make sure the entry point is elevated from the ground level, and that any flight of stairs is turned upwards and towards the main gate or door. You must ascend into the home and descending into the world from it - not the other way around. Stairs upward are naturally cleaned by wind and rain, they are washed - the flow of energy reflects this same temperament and effect. Stairs downward collect energy and dirt and do not renew energetically. Slight elevation, in resistance to gravity, imprints an object with a positive energetic signature. Generally, adhering to design and architectural decisions that work against decay and rather for it is a great way to attain the wise man's eye - and understand and learn to see the flow of energetic channels in all things.
