example ? from your own experiences in life ? I like everything but i tend to embrace yang . it feels good and yang brings about more yang . Karma example of this ? from your own experience in life ok i see , lets hope you are getting correct information . From me included. Its better to learn how to, and play the panio rather than some one telling you how its played. You can play the yang yin type piano very easy and get very good at it . The more you practice the better you get . you can understand it by using the meditation exercises in my earlier posts and threads . Its all there . Ill start a new theard soon and then refer others with a link to it . "ancients grouped masculinity in with light and hardness and called it Yang"? solidity and hardness is actually yin , masculinity and light is yang . . I dont read others text for knowledge , I read it to compare what i know to be true to what I read . I read to confirm or deny , not learn . Learning is yin . Yin brings about more yin . Its better to just know things that are true from your own experience in life rather than to read about it or have others like me tell you about it . just because a spiritual leader an ancient guy or anyone else says this or that about this or that does not make it true or false. Only you can do that . -
correct but its illusion vs reality and lie vs truth . vs is yin . It means compete. Competition is opposition and opposition is yin . In order to compete there must first be yang to compete against
-
they are both Yang . Its is like comparing yang to yang or yin to yin . If there were no question as to whats yang and whats yin it would also be very clear . When we fully understand which is which we will fully understand life in the universe. yang can not VS yang and yin can not vs yin . Only yin can vs yang . Yin is competitive and yang does not compete . Read the third sentence above again reading about which is which from me or anyone else, is like me telling you how to play the paino . If you want to fully understand the piano, you need to play it yourself . sit down and play with the yang and yin . Ive mentioned how to do that in the first posts in a couple threads I started. its so easy and the benifit is huge . Youll be amazed.

just found this on the internet . Looks like im not the only one who says yang comes first . Not saying I agree with this text but it does have some things I do . What is Yin and Yang? Creation can be considered as an organization of the primal energy. This organization is a polarization of the primal energy of creation into two distinct states of being. The aggressive aspect of creation (yang) appears to occur first, the polarization implies the presence of its complement. Its complement can be view as the receptive aspect of creation (yin). Therefore, consider the act of creation as an outward expansion of the primal energy from a center such as the black hole. However, there has to be a counterbalancing and contractive force in order for organization to occur. The aggressive action of yang is like that of centrifugal force. Centrifugal force tends to pull outward from a rotating center. The action of yin is like that of centripetal force. Centripetal force tends to pull inward or toward the center of a rotating center. This implies that these forces must be equally in balance in order for creation to exist. Otherwise, energy would either disperse itself into nothingness or disappear into the center. Once again we can perceive the interconnectedness of all creation, because the balance of these two forces is illustrated by the model of the atom. The electrons that rotate around the nucleus of the atom at the speed of light would tend to propel themselves out of their orbit if they were not counterbalanced by the force of the protons which attract the electrons to the center. If the electrons were to leave their orbit, the atom woulddisintegrate. Therefore, in keeping with the metaphysical view of interconnectedness of creation, on a larger scale, this principle functions to hold together the solar system, the galaxies of the universe and all the Universal Laws. It is said that the nature of yin and yang was first recognized by Fu Shi between six to eight thousand years ago. He formulated twelve principles of yin/yang which provide an explanation of the laws of nature which govern the universe and all of its laws. These principles are given below. That which produces and composes the universe is Tao, the undivided oneness or ultimate nothingness. Tao polarizes itself: yang becomes the active pole of the cosmos, yin becomes the solidified pole. Yang and yin are opposites, and each accomplishes the other. All beings and things in the universe are complex aggregates of universal energy composed of infinitely varying proportions of yin and yang. All beings and things are in a dynamic state of change and transformation; nothing in the universe is absolutely static or completed; all is in unceasing motion because polarization, the source of being, is without beginning and without end. Yin and yang attract one another. Nothing is entirely yin or entirely yang; all phenomena are composed of both yin and yang. Nothing is neutral. All phenomena are composed of unequal proportions of yin and yang. The force of attraction between yin and yang is greater when the difference between them is greater, and smaller when it is smaller. Like activities repel one another. The closer the similarity between two entities of the same polarity, the greater the repulsion. At the extremes of development, yin produces yang and yang produces yin. All beings are yang in the center and yin on the surface. Yang means the active spirit, yin means the physical body. On other occasions, yang means apparent and yin means hidden. According to the principles, the actions of yin and yang apply to every facet of life. The polar aspects of the yin and yang are expressions of everything that exists in our universe. Hence, the yin and yang can be seen as the essence of all Universal Laws, which of course includes the Law of Attraction. -

on one side of the yang yin spectrum , the yang side, there's perfection and the other imperfection, its yin side . i choose to remove the circles . They relate to the negative side of imperfection and only use the yang yin in its perfect state. I also turned it so white is on top . Yang is always on top of yin. i think chinese is written from top bottom too. of use to be . even the future, present and past are stacked from top to bottom with present time between them . Past on the bottom English sentences are written starting from left to right . Left also happens to be yang which always comes first . some subjective reality -
even illusions are real things, just not the truth

i don't know what "wu wei" means but i know what you mean . example when considering an email i wrote to a friend , at the end of the email i thank her very much for the conversation . Its just me considering how much i thanked her . Then my dog puts her head down on my ipad while its in the itunes screen . it begins to play this song just as i consider the last thing i wrote in the email to her . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktWWFpnLVTE or when i decided on a new motorcycle i want to buy in the near future and it so happens it only comes in two colors . black and black and white , like my avatar http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/wp-content/gallery/2014-aprilia-tuono-v4-r-aprc-abs/2014-aprilia-tuono-v4-r-aprc-abs-19.jpg i do this all the time these are just two examples there is no such thing as coincidence i also went from being broke unemployed and homeless in 2009 to owning a house and car paid in full and a monthly income for life . My bank acct gets refilled automatically every month tax free. Im still unemployed but i like it that way -

TaoMaster replied to TaoMaster's topic in Daoist Discussion
go it thx , if all things are made of both yang and yin ( which they are ) then how can one be yin and the other yang and then be both yang and yin too ? they can not . or can they does the positive side terminal of a car battery have its negative side in equal amounts with its positive ? no. if it did , sparks would be instantaneous like when the + side gets close to the - side. which is positive the lead or the acid ? does the negative side? no THATS what a battery does. They are together and separate at the same time. does a magnet have a positive and negative pole at each end ? not really but they do have poles in common when two are more batteries are present . These common poles can be labeled as positive and negative . the positive repels the negative and the negative the positive . things that move forward can be labeled positive and things that go backwards neg . This does not mean that some thigns can only go in one direction or that the pos can be relabeled when its direction changes. You can call north south or south north too . a lie is stating that something is or is not when it is not or is . its just flipping poles. the truth is stating something is when it is and is not when it is not . this is attraction while the lie is pushing away. just like the magnet agreement is like two common poles of a magnet and opposition is like the two repelling poles of a magnet the common side can definitively be labeled as positive and its negative , negative every time in every case and perspective nor context has no say in the matter . This is non exceptional if this is not the way of the tao then im not taomaster yes. I understand you can label a pole as positive and label the other as negative and then switch the labels around. Or remove them all together. a single Magnet does not have a positive or negative . when you have two magnets you still only have two poles. 100 magnets , still two poles. you can break the magnet in half and still have the same two poles. Positive pole attracts pos and repels neg . Same for the neg . It attracts likeness and repels opposites. there is no way to break it in half and just have a positive magnet or just a negative. so is the yang and yin avatar i use . The black never touches the white and yet it is still a single circle. if you break it in half its still black and white. The white side is positive and the black side negative Yang and yin . this rule applies to all things in the universe. from the smallest particle to the largest Galaxy. ViscountValmont, how can you label the Yang as fullness, masculinity, light, hardness ? why is fullness not a yin attribute or light and hardness ( which is actually a yin attribute ) what other things in the world are yin or yang and how do you determine this ? did you read about it in a book ? this is what im after if we label yang as yes and yin as no with yes being positive and no being negative does this not exist ? is this non existence the way of the tao ? If it doesn't exist then how can i perceive it every day in my life. If any thing can be perceived , then it exists. Even if its a whisper of a thought, or a wisp of a breeze, its a thing. when i tell my dog to go and she just sits there, I see that as a big no and when she goes, I see that as a big yes. when i play ping pong we hit the ball over the net back and forth but one of us had to serve it first . The server is yang then yin then yang then yin until one of the two fail . Yang and yin is a way to organize what the heck is going on in the world , whats right and whats wrong. Context plays a role when determining which is which and so does sequence. its when we don't assign positive or negative we have disorder, a yin attribute. a magnet like our universe has 6 sides. top bottom, left right and front back its a box that so many refer to when they say "think outside the box" . the circle is its opposite to the square and yet the circle also has 6 sides just like the box. what makes them opposite is that one is curved and the other is straight . which came first ? the circle . ill let you determine how i came to this conclusion heres a hint . do you see any box shaped planets suns or stars ? if a lie is stating the truth is not true, how can the lie exist is there is no truth to lie about ? can there be a lie- without the truth+ first+ ? no - can there be truth+ without a lie- after- ? yes + i see a yang and a yin right there and its as definite as the sun is bright there's only one " up " even if you are upside down , up is still up. its just that up is down until you are not upside down. a thing is what it is when its first created . if you change that it no longer exists as that first thing and now a new thing is created but it too has a first and when its destroyed it has a last . every thing has a first and last . if you assign the first as pos and its last as neg, then all things in the universe can and do have a definite yang and definite yin , no exceptions . which is which and how is it determined in a definite way ? if we can determine this for one thing, then all things can be determined this way . the true law of duality is not a selective law based on perspective -

TaoMaster replied to TaoMaster's topic in Daoist Discussion
no such thing as what ? i know why taller is yang , Im 6'5 I know what allot of which is yang or which is yin . Can anyone tell me how to determine what is positive and what is negative ? If it can be done for one thing it can be done for every thing. Is being optimistic being positive or negative ? Is being pessimistic being positive or negative ? Is yes a positive or a negative ? Is no a positive or a negative. ? its what comes first that make a difference between the two Positive always comes first and then negative. positive is positive and negative is negative . if they were the same thing reversible then there would be no spark to a battery in general terms yang is yes and yin is no . also, yang and yin are perfect and for there to be perfection there must be imperfection . stars at night and shadows by day are some of the imperfections of yang and yin but it doesnt make yang and yin any less perfect unless you see it from the yin side of negative. -

yes there are no limits on desire. Desire is the subjective to everything objective . where there is life there is desire. how is left and right both? both yang and yin ? if yang and yin are vertical with yang on top then horizontal opposes vertical and since there are two halfs, one must be yang and the other yin so how is it determined ? if you put the planet on your shoulders where your head is now then turn the planet counter clock wise the sun comes up in the east first . east is on your left side. since its where the sun light ( yang )shines first , thats your yang side . left . so yin must be your right. -

yeah theres allota yang yin all over the place but how do we know whats what which is which ? heaven and earth , isnt there a little of both on earth ? little heaven , little hellish too, on earth ? I dont see heaven or hell but i know of them . I do see the earth . Heaven is yang hell yin , earth sits between them in the present . half and half.................half day and half night . ive never seen the i ching materials but i know of them . is it not good to understand a concept ? as far as i know understanding is a good thing and misunderstanding not . knowing and understanding are positive things and their "nots" are negative . i prefer the positive sensations over negative when i understand a thing or concept i feel good but when i want to understand a thing or concept and can not but instead misunderstand, i feel bad . im certain all life forms are this way when a thing is not important either way then it doesnt matter either way . Its only when importance is assigned or another word significance that allot of sensation is generated. -

TaoMaster replied to TaoMaster's topic in Daoist Discussion
from what Ive seen , there is the basic law of yang yin ( + and - ) from which all other laws are derived. It forms an egyption type pyamid. a point at the top getting larger towards the earth below. the positive + symbol means ( more ) because it has two lines. 1 more line than - which only has one . +Symbol has twice as much material as the -symbol . when you see the earth going around from the south pole looking up it turns clockwise and from the north looking down counter clockwise. water drains from left to right or right to left depeneding on the pole sides too. Water drains in opposite directions. its not easy to change this based on perspective that I know of . But some things are. the opposite of north/ south is east /west but east and west also have poles. East is yang and west is yin . How do I know ? whats the tie breaker. ? east ALWAYS comes first . the sun always rises in the east and goes down in the west . This doesnt change . Its no conicidence that when we sleep its at night , we are not aware, not awake, not, knowing, not walking, not talking, not seeing , hearing. All of theses are yangs and are being opposed half the time by yin. Well for teenagers who sleep 12 hrs a day anyways . But this is only a small example. since life created everything it must have come first so life is yang, and yin is everything life is not . That as in the physical universe. Life+ IS positive+ in every way and limitless+ in every way . Only life+ can limit- itself . Lifes the yang and creates yin to oppose itself or " not " itself. Life ><not life. Not life is any " thing" when ever a + gets close to a - ( like a magnetic field ) it generates motion. It Generates mass and from mass energy and from energy sensation . Sensation is what lifes all about baby . Soorrrrry I know it feels like Im telling you the end on a movie you want to see and have now spoiled it for you . when we walk its foot forward+ first+ and foot backwards- last- . MOTION sun comes+ up+ and then goes- down- you begin to see more and more of the world around you . a bigger pictute of what the heack is really going on rather than the illusion it has become . Real comes first, illusion after that . First the truth and then the lie that says the truth is not so . this isnt a selective law thats based on oppinion and its basic from all other laws. Even oppinions are laws . You wont find the sun rising at night or setting in the morining and you wont change it either . but we can change how fast we run in a race or if we win+ or lose- yang or yin . these are all sub laws and not basic . The duality law is the only basic law. Its a universe law . i know why this basic law is never taught in american and other schools in the world. Life does not want to know about it . Life wants to live the dream called reailty and never wake up . Teach+ is yang and learn- is yin . Teach knows and student does NOT know. good thing is that we can wake up even while others still sleep . bad thing is that there no one to have fun with unless they are awake to the same degree we are . Staying awake once woke is the trick youll need to master . when water goes down the drain in the north half of planet it turns with the planet but when it drains at the bottem it turns against the planet . Steam and water are both water but one is more transparent than the other. The state relates directly to hot or cold. Hot and cold relates to altittude high or low . The hotest place is below sea level in death valley Ca and the coldest at the highest pointof the world. But high is yang and low is yin so how can cold be yang and hot be yin ? when you say he has a warm heart vs a cold heart or cold blooded for example Yang is warm and yin is cold. contrast or + and - generate sensation . thats all there is to it . Like tow poles of a car battery touching generates a spark. Words have many meaning and the same spelling. a word can have a definition of yang or yin but thats as far as perspective will go . Attention is needed when making a determination . Context and definition are relivant to a degree. Once you have that , then there is no way to change it with perspective. Low is yin and high is yang when you get a quote for car insurance thats lower than what you have now thats good ( yang ) low now becomes Yang . high rates are yin. This perspective is also changable . But in the end its still Yang and yin . Only yang and yin . simplicity is yang , complicated is yin . Another easy one to switch. The only three perameters to the basic law is that yang comes first and yin after. So its 1 yang comes first , 2 + and 3 - . There is a law of Karma we speak of so allot . Its deried from the basic law and goverened by it . Its very real . The more you understand it the more reall and less illsuional it becomes. Knowing it intimatly will and can completly change your life for the better . To get a full understanding if it , the basic law must also be considered with it . the world is very organized in terms of law . Like a computer has perameters , so does the universe. Understanding them fully in every possible way brings a wealth of power that money cant buy . When you become more able by the way of understanding and become more poweful than money, you can rule the world. when you contemplate life its best to start with the basic law and then move forward to present time and then the past in that direction . That way youll be swimming with the flow rather than against it . everything in the universe starts in the future yang and enters the universe in present time. It leaves the universe in the past. perspective will no change this. its as real as real gets but it can be lied about . It can say the truth is not so . Ot can say its not true. The lie always says the truth is NOT so. its an is + and a NOT is - yang yin. you wont find this set of parameters in any book or internet. No where. You find plenty of everything about yang and yin , or incorrectly yin yang . opposites, dichotmies , the tao , the dao, etc but you wont find any reference to positives always come first . you wont find a diagram of the human body illustrating the two sides of yang and yin and how it relates the way I have where the spinal cord is present time and the left and right sides are the past and future or yang pos and yin neg. Like a ping pong table yang is the servers side and yin its opponant who opposes yang . The net is present time and when ever the ball goes accross the net correctly a good sensation is felt. If not, if you fail, a bad sensation is felt. The butterly has a past wing and future wing and its body and spine in the center in present time. Sensation is in the middle of the universe between pos yang and neg yin and the spine is there to sence it . The middle of the universe is present time . these are the things im referring to not the ones that change with perspective and context. The more basic the better. You can learn this stuff easy like learning how to play a piano.The more you practice the better you get . The better you get the better you get . You CAN go all the way to being the 1 , That perspective must be experienced to be known. Words wont do it justice. to be edited latter -

TaoMaster replied to TaoMaster's topic in Daoist Discussion
thx for your comments you can determine whos yang and yin between you and your friend by simply adding up all the yang attributes and yin too that you each have . like a scale , he with the most yang and the least yin wins and can be crowned as Yang between you both . even if her or she is taller than you are . simple agree, no two things ever touch each other and even no single thing touches itself. and yang yin must both be present to exist. a single thing will vanish instantly . Its against the law of the universe / The basic law of duality . It MUST have + and - to exist in the universe. Yang ><Yin just relative positive and negative states? thats ALL ? how do you know taller is yang ? are dual natures things we have a choice about as humans ? can we just create dual natures or not ? what else is yang , brighter , slower ? right or left up down in and out ? which is which and where is there a reference about it someplace in a book or internet ? how do you know solid is yang and space in yin ? ive always considered it the other way around . Transparent yang and solidity yin . oh no . transparentycy comes first and then solidity . this can be a real problem when you put two of the same attributes together while considering them opposing . two - in stead of - and + is it really all about context then or relitiveity ? warm is yang and cool is yin but when it gets too hot and hurts then hot is yin and cool becomes yang. how does yang and yin relate to karma and would it not be good to understand this better to have a happy life ? when you say heaven and earth is that like sayin heaven and hell ? is earth hell ? if heaven is yang then what is its relitive ? earth ? the absence of heaven and ( earth ) hell are what oppose heaven and hell . the absence of anything is the yin to the yang it opposses. i think youre reffering to god and satin conceptually as the only thing that opposes god or life , the creator of all things is god the creator of all things in the universe and everything in the universe is just a physical reflection of life the creator of all things . i can go on. -

chi is the energy of the universe ? is it the yang or yin ? energy comes in two forms , either yang or yin . im not trying to kill the univrese if you are implying the universe is a mother pig , just trying to help bring about understanding. understanding is a good thing and its worth doing no matter what the subject matter is one is trying to understand. als owant to add this video , I seem to have many of the same posters from my priviouse threads and thats ok but this will be a repeat video i want to point out that in the video the man and woman get together and start to move . Yang and yin generate motion to all things to the same degree of yang and yin . in other words, the more yang and yin the more motion . listen to the words of this song when he pulls her close they start to move its yang >< yin in action BUT how do we know whats yang and whats yin ? understanding is a good thing and the lack of it is bad the more we understand the more control we have in life . The more control , the more ability and power and all the othet yang attributes . But how do we know what those are ? i appreciate everyones comments . all are welcome, good or bad , right or wrong makes no difference to me . understanding cultivates happieness and misunderstanding , un happinesss do you ever hear anyone say they want to be unhappy in life ? i know i want to be happy and i want to be around others who are happy too happy generates happy , unhappy generates unhappy so here i am Ill explain karma too in a future thread or post . its also a legal matter you may find interesting . Many dont understand it .
