Good morning dwai, Per the following, please enlighten on Yin and Yang as "more 'meta' conceptions" in relation to the non-separation of Shakti and Shiva. - Anand

Please elaborate.

Hi steve, As an apple tree I don't know what is non-duality - philosophically or intellectually. Granny is unstoppable when she shakes my tree. Why? She has a depth of certainty and has tested the fundamental truth many times - she gets her apples. Good night. - Anand

Hi Wu Ming Jen, I have stated oft time that sometimes I exist as an apple tree. When I put myself in that mode - I see apples (not see things as empty). Good night. - Anand

Hi Jman, I don't know what you meant by blockages - so I have it highlighted thus. Generally things will not flow well if there are impediments. - Anand

Hi dwai, I am not taking things literally but philosophically as a budding Taoist. I am not critical but trying to be inclusive as a human being. Just like Sunlight is a property of the Sun, similarly Shakti (Creative power) is a property of Shiva (Consciousness). Does Shiva precedes Shakti? Or are they into the same moment? So, There is no Shakti separate from Shiva. Yin and Yang are more "meta" conceptions, imho. Can I embrace both Shakti/Shiva and Yin/Yang together in a same moment - as a Taoist? One could make a mental stretch and say that Consciousness (Shiva) is Yin and Shakti (Energy) is Yang. Consciousness ~ Shiva <=> Yin. Energy ~ Shakti <=> Yang. Interesting. But Consciousness and Energy are not separate really...where consciousness is, there is energy. So Consciousness and Energy are into the same moment? If so, Shakti/Shiva and Yin/Yang are also into the same moment - philosophically? Where there is no consciousness, there is no energy. As such, we have no way to know what is there, when there is no consciousness. Consciousness is always there - for as long as I can breathe? "We have no way to know what is there, when there is no consciousness" - I can accept this if I am not breathing. But if I am breathing and I don't know what I don't know - is there Consciousness? Because knowing is predicated upon consciousness. ... what if I don't know what I don't know and I am still breathing - in relation to Consciousness? So, in a way, 'knowing' IS energy (creating appearances). ... what is "not knowing" - in relation to conscious lifelong learning? - Anand

Please enlighten on how the Sun and sunlight are linked to Shakti and Shiva thus...

To me the Sun is Yang. And Yin is not separate(d) from the Sun (Yang).

Like Yin is not separate(d) from Yang?

Is ‘Dao’ more easily translated as ‘God’, or ‘Nature’? All is X and X is All.

Don't be sad - good people withstand the test of time. There were/are always there for me and you and Boo...
