But of course. Nothing is cast in stone e.g.arrow of time is a relative concept and is not absolute.

Hi yugenphoenix, You are truly blessed if you have teachers that can provide you guidance and teaching per who you are when you come under their tutelage. I have been told many times that when I am ready my teachers will appear. Life has been injected into this adage when I crossed paths with two teachers recently at TDB. These two teachers do not talk much re my own road less traveled. Take heart - your teacher(s) will appear if you remain true to yourself and of service to others I believe you will. - LimA

Hi Wu Ming Jen, Starjumper has Primal Virtue... He creates without claiming. Paternity is not in his vocabulary. Pornography? I am not sure. Primal Virtue... more than words - - LimA

Hi dawei, I am putting Jeff's answer here on the same page as yours here for easier reading: Freeform above has given a pretty good overview. Yang Qi is the energy of focused intent. As Dawei described it is like a transmission (or outgoing flow) of the mind. One does not really feel it, but more feels the resistance of it “hitting” other energy structures stored in body. The more obstructed (issues and fears), the greater the body reactions to the energy. What people call kundalini with big motions and shakes is yang energy starting to break down big subconscious issues. Yin energy is really more like “reception” to the transmission/yang side. On a relative basis it is sort of like “pulling” in the energy. While they are not really two different forms of energy, it can feel that way in the early stages, as it is really more two different polarity views of the same underlying energy flow. Also, yin aspects are easier to notice when interacting with others as the local mind tends to notice its own thoughts and hence own transmissions. So to really feel yin one tends to need to have reached the level where they can energetically connect to other people and the environment, as with noticing the outside stuff coming in, you can notice the reception side more easily. This is why traditions often describe it as a “higher” or more advanced energy form. A strong “yin energy” person can create a strong “pulling” on a beginner which sort of makes it easier for them to feel and notice their own outgoing transmission/yang. Energetically men tend to be more yang and women more yin (but this is not always the case). Finding a balanced partner can dramatically accelerate ones growth as a purification loop can be established with the two end polarities. This dynamic is why traditions like Buddhism (and others) show advanced stuff as Buddha and consort (or dakini). A balanced partner is someone who is capable matching yang to yin or yin to yang. Pushing and pulling together creates a more stable flow. I think Jeff's answer would mirror mine. I would just add that a man who is more yin and a woman who is more yang can find balance... that even two who are both pro-dominantly yin or yang could find balance if their hearts are open enough to establish one to flow more yin and one to flow more yang as part of their connection. For some this may come naturally and for others they may feel a need to make it akin to needing a practice. The key is to openly not pre-determine whether you are transmitting/yang or receiving/yin but let the energy loop decide how to connect and balance each other. For example, I can be yang with one connection and yin with another. I will respond to the above consolidation at another time - in relation to how a trusted TDB Bummy shared his energy with me recently. - LimA

I understand anything and everything from you. Nothing to worry.

Hi yugenphoenix, (1) Yes. (2) Yes. You will definitely succeed. Why? You - A powerful warrior on the path of knowledge. - LimA

Good morning Steve, If it is the best possible outcome for the greatest number of people - excluding myself - I do not have to lie but act from my heart. Why excluding myself? No conflict of interest. - Anand

Wait a minute... Zzzzz...

I am going to sleep. Good night. Good day.

Like flying a plane? Yin and yang in motion?

It is now 2:17 AM at my end.

I am clarifying...

Beautiful.

Then let us wait for TDB to comment on - 'highlight' and 'Quote this'.

I cannot recall any stones. Please point out the stone(s) and I will apologize.

Let's wait for TDB to comment... unless you represent TDB.

Hi Lataif, Your thread is captioned - Making sense of "Yin" and "Yang" . . . But according to dawei - "Squares and corners spoken are not the eternalness [of squares and corners]" So when I speak of "Yin" and "Yang" - they are no more yin and yang? - LimA

I did not falsely quoted you. I just highlighted and clicked 'Quote this'. I have no malice aforethought. Apparently it is the scheme of things at TDB. TDB please comment.

Hi dawei, Must my partner and I match each other energy-wise? 'Yang energy' with 'Yang energy'. 'Yin and Yang energy' with 'Yin and Yang energy'. Hi Jeff, What is a balanced partner? Buddha and consort is indicated. How about Buddha and consorts? - LimA

?

Hi Dada-da, I am not absolutely sure if you had. A body is a body in terms of commonalities e.g. jelly beans, sEEd and passion fruits. But minds differ. So there are no absolutes. Thus you are absolutely correct. - LimA

If it looks like WTF, acts like WTF, and fxxks like WTF then it's WTF. PyL and PmDa.

Hi Wu Ming Jen, Within some passion fruits are sEEds. - LimA

Hi All, Without having to wait for a response from TDB, there will not be such a post. It will be an utter DISRESPECT for Lao Tzu and those of his ethnicity, among others. Also my ancestors will surely come into my dreams and cut away my passion fruits for disgracing the family name. In the dreams I will protest that I had been colonized and I champion freedom of the press. This will definitely follow - my ancestors will shaft my detached into my mouth to shut me up. In a strange sense I feel good about this post ~ I have found some of my cultural roots... - LimA P.S. No photo of human passion fruits but photos of passion fruit flowers ~ focus on the last frame.

Hi falcon, Yes - beautifully the way you have shared with us. But try not to define anything too rigidly - if possible not at all. Fly true - says rene. Fly Taoist everyday. Ask Wu Ming Jen ~ why? Answer in sky above sky. Happy landing, - LimA
