The reality of duality is this: yin is feminine, spiral-out, diverging, radiativ e, expansive, disintegrating, explosive, discharging, centrifugal, cooling,

diss ipating, exhaling, and ascending (notice how these are all complimentary). Yang is masculine, spiral-in, converging, generative, contractive, integrating, implo sive, charged, centripetal, heating, accumulating, inhaling, and descending. Int ermixing or attributing yin characteristics to yang or vice versa because someon e feels that feminine energy should be structuring and masculine energy destruct uring is dishonest. There can be no full spectrum consciousness until the basics of who s who in duality is understood. Yin is the polarity of explosiveness, that which is as spiraling from the center ; whereas yang, is charged implosiveness towards the center, and has the potenti al to explode. As Yang explodes it becomes the yin s explosive cycle of polarity. When the explosion symbolically fills the top of the T ai chi T u, its potential is to implode. The yin then shifts to yang and moves centripetally, back into densi ty. Yang is Form, Yin is Empty.

Continuare Some practitioners of Chinese medicine also appear confused about the nature and dynamics of duality. Yes, they concede that yin is dark and cold, while yang is light and hot. However, in the same breath, they bizarrely preach that yin is d ownward and matter, while yang is upward and unformed energy, the direct opposit e of reality. In reality, yang is the positive, charged, electric force that man ifests gravity, and yin is the negative, discharged, electric force that manifes ts levity. Because of this, people are media-ted misinformation about the nature and the du ality of light and dark. Their prevalent societal construct suggests that light is good and dark is evil. Yet where is such a thing true? Contrary to popular be lief, light is neither good nor evil, and it does not conquer dark. Cosmologically speaking, we only see as far into the universe as incandescent li ght allows, then there is darkness, endless darkness. Many believe that light is an all-pervading expression of wisdom, when in fact it is darkness that is allpervading from a duality viewpoint. Unlike light, darkness has no boundary, nor does it have a center. In a sense, dark is not separated from anything. On the o ther hand, the incandescent light of duality does have a definable boundary, thu s a center. Duality s light is inherently separate. Most people observe duality from only a yang point of view, and thus believes in separation. For yang to liberate itself from the illusion of separation, is mus t observe the reverse flow of forward moving things,...it must understand Yin. The light of duality, that is, divided, projected, simulated light, can only ill uminate the past, because it is itself the past. From a perspective of dualism, the threshold of the now is through darkness,...the dark half of the T ai chi T u,...a n idea not very palatable to ego consciousness. This makes any contemplation of the nature of light and darkness forbidden, another taboo, or at least it rips t he imagined fabric of society s delusion and leaves it garmentless, naked and free .
