Our Lineage, Practice and Purpose
Where ancient tradition meets the modern seeker.
The Practitioner
Lumen Tao is led by Dr. Jason E, a lineage-trained Daoist practitioner offering BaZi readings, I-Ching guidance, Feng Shui consultation and hand-drawn talismans. The work brings classical Chinese metaphysics into a clear, grounded form for modern life.
My journey into Chinese metaphysics began over two decades ago — not as a casual interest, but as a calling. What started with the study of classical BaZi texts in their original Chinese gradually expanded into the deeper currents of I-Ching divination, Feng Shui spatial analysis, and the sacred tradition of Taoist Fu talismans.
This is not a practice built on weekend workshops or online certifications. It is grounded in years of direct study, mentorship under lineage holders, and thousands of consultations spanning three continents. Every reading, every talisman, every recommendation carries the weight of tradition — applied with precision to the realities of modern life.
Lumen Tao exists because this wisdom deserves to be accessible beyond language barriers. The traditions of Chinese metaphysics are among the most sophisticated systems of human understanding ever developed. They should not remain locked behind cultural or linguistic walls.
About Jason E
Jason E (道号 愈中道人) is a scholar of the I-Ching, a classical Chinese metaphysics practitioner, and the President of the Australian Chinese I Ching Association.
He holds a Ph.D. from an Australian university. His academic research focuses on how the built environment affects human health, with publications in multiple international peer-reviewed journals.
Before dedicating himself fully to the study and practice of Eastern metaphysics, Dr. E served as a Senior Project Manager at a Fortune 500 company, overseeing the planning, design, and construction of projects valued at over one hundred million US dollars.
Lineage & Training
Jason’s practice is grounded in authentic transmission. He is a lineage holder in four classical Daoist traditions:
- 69th generation, Zhengyi Tianshi (正一天師) tradition
- 33rd generation, Sanshan Dixue (三山嫡血) tradition
- 12th generation, Longmen (龍門) tradition of Quanzhen Daoism
- Dharma disciple of the Yuanhuang (元皇) tradition
He is also a 2nd generation successor of the Sanshan Pulin Hall (三元天星派菩林堂) lineage in San Yuan Feng Shui.
Practice
Jason has studied Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist traditions since childhood. His areas of expertise include BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny), I Ching divination, classical Feng Shui, Qi Men Dun Jia, and Liu Yao (Six Lines prediction).
With extensive experience applying these systems across both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, Jason brings a rare combination of classical training and modern professional rigour to his consultations. He has advised companies and individuals on Feng Shui planning, strategic timing, and personal development across Australia and internationally.
His unique integration of academic research, Fortune 500 management experience, and authentic Daoist lineage makes him one of the most credentialled practitioners in the English-speaking world.
The Living Traditions
BaZi 八字
The Four Pillars of Destiny. A system refined over fifteen centuries that maps the elemental forces present at the moment of your birth. BaZi reveals your innate temperament, career aptitudes, relationship dynamics, health vulnerabilities, and the timing of life’s turning points through ten-year Luck Pillar cycles.
I-Ching 易經
The Book of Changes. Humanity’s oldest divination system, dating back over three thousand years. Through the casting of hexagrams, the I Ching offers guidance that speaks not in predictions, but in patterns — illuminating the forces at work in any situation and the wisest path through it.
Feng Shui 風水
The art of spatial harmony. Classical Feng Shui is not about decorating tips or lucky colours. It is a rigorous system for analysing how the orientation, layout, and energy flow of a space affect the health, relationships, and prosperity of those who inhabit it.
Our Philosophy
We believe that metaphysical practice should be honest, precise, and grounded. We do not promise miracles. We do not claim to control fate. What we offer is clarity — the kind that comes from seeing the patterns that have always been there, understood through frameworks that have been tested across millennia.
A BaZi chart does not tell you what to do. It shows you what you are working with. A Feng Shui assessment does not magically transform your fortune. It aligns your environment with the natural forces already in motion. An I Ching reading does not predict the future. It reveals the deeper structure of the present moment.
This is the difference between superstition and tradition. We practice the latter.
