LET’S OPEN A WINDOW TO AN ANCIENT WISDOM: YIN & YANG

If you drop a stone into a calm pool of water will simultaneously raise waves and lower troughs between them, and this alternation of high and low points in the water will radiate outward until the movement dissipates and the pool is calm once more.

According Wikipedia: Yin-yang, thus, always has the following characteristics, they are opposing: This forces describe opposing qualities in phenomena. For instance, winter is yin to summer’s yang over the course of a year, and femininity is yin to masculinity’s yang in human relationships. It is impossible to talk about yin or yang without some reference of the opposite.

Yin-yang are rooted together: since they are created together in a single movement, they are bound together as parts of a mutual whole. A race with only man or only woman would disappear in a single generation, but men and women together create a new generation that allow the race they mutually create (and mutually come from) to survive.

So it gives the idea of a transformation because these two forces transform each other in constant movement, they are moving forward intensely: like an undertow in the ocean, every advance is complemented by a retreat, and every rise transforms into a fall, as a seed will sprout from the earth and grow upwards towards the sky – an intrinsically yang movement. Then when it reaches its full height, it will begin to weaken, and eventually will fall back to the earth in decay – an intrinsically yin movement.

The conclusion is that: Yin always contains the potential for yang, and yang for yin. Yin-yang are balanced and together we have a dynamic equilibrium, because they arise together they are always equal: if one disappears, the other must disappear as well, leaving emptiness. Like the quantum mechanics describe the infinitesimal world, this ancient thought describes the whole world.

Here, again we have a universal way of describing the interactions and interrelations of the natural forces that do occur in the world. It applies as well social constructions – value judgments like good and evil, rich and poor, honor and dishonor, moral and immoral, love and hate, and so on. It sounds like I related before in Quantum Mechanics. These concepts bring up to us a shifting of our perspectives. The infinitesimal world and the material world live in constant movement, growing up, intercepting each other, supporting each other in creating and recreating the universe.

If we saw the world with one perspective, now we know that all is related to the observer. We are at exponential times that all is possible and especially if this ALL is to change to a better world.

This following example is a good one for shifting perspective:
