ONE FAMILY PLAN
Yin Yang
They are opposites. While Yin is the shady place (North - Feminine energy... Passive... Negative... Earth - cold, dark, heavy, and damp - accepting, giving over to its surrounding energy... force of darkness), Yang is the sunny place (South - Male energy... Active... Positive... Heaven - aggressive, stimulating, light, hot, and dry... force of light). When Yang is added to Yin energy, it may become creative or destructive. Yin's passiveness may be perceived as weak but it is in fact robust in its ability to transcend other energies. Both Yin and Yang energies rely on each other and complete the whole. It is the framework whereby chaos has order. Together, they make up ch'i, the vital force inherent in all things.
Yang brings about disintegration while Yin gives shape to things....
Yang people are animated, alert, and energetic, but suffer from anxiety disorders, stress, and irritability. Yin people are relaxed, calm, and creative, but suffer from lethargy, laziness and depression.
The Yin-Yang symbol's outer circle represents "everything" while the black and white shapes within represent the interaction of the two energies, Yin (black) and Yang (white), which cause all things to happen. Neither is completely black or white and neither can exist without the other. The shapes give one a sense of the continual movement of the two energies, Yin to Yang and Yang to Yin.
"The yin and yang principles act on one another, affect one another and keep one another in place." Chuang Tzu
Yin and Yang are opposites, constantly drawing from each other the energy the other lacks. Through this process they are transformed into the other, creating the cycle of life to death to life
"Despise not evil, Saying 'it will not come to me' Drop by drop, is the water pot filled, Likewise the fool, gathering little by little, fills himself with evil." (Buddha World 121)
"I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me." (Romans 7.21)
"You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure..." (Deuteronomy 25:15)
"A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is his delight." (Prov 11.1)
"You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin..." (Leviticus 19.36)
"A just balance and scales are the LORD's; all the weights in the bag are his work." (Prov 16.11)
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing..." (Ecclesiastes 3.1-8)
"When people see things as beautiful, ugliness is created. When people see things as good, evil is created." (Tao Te Ching [2])
"Being and non-being produce each other. Difficult and easy complement each other. Long and short define each other. High and low oppose each other. Fore and aft follow each other." (Essence of Yin Yang)
It is the nature of change, balanced as two halves of a whole
As night is (Yin) and day is (Yang), female is (Yin) and male is (Yang).
Neither is absolute. Nothing is completely Yin or completely Yang, each holding the beginning point for the other. As day becomes night, the latter produces the former. The one requires the other in harmony as the completed whole. The length of day and night are not static. Each is affected by the aging of the earth. One aspect may transform completely into the other. In summation, the Yin and Yang form a whole. As one aspect increases so the other decreases to maintain balance/harmony of the whole.
Four imbalances: Deficiency Yang, Deficiency Yin, Excess Yang, Excess Yin
An excess of Yin will stimulate a Yang deficiency and vice versa.
"The Way begot one, And the one, two; Then the two begot three, and three, all else." (Tao Te Ching)
Tao is the fundamental absolute, its nature expanding outward into finer and finer patterns. Yin and Yang is the point at which the Tao's expansion from one into two is described. It is a constantly evolving process of patterns.
"...a just weight is his delight." (Prov 11.1)
I could not see so that you could see... balance
I could not win so that you could win... balance
LOVE is GOD is BALANCE
