Everything and everyone everywhere has a total of 5 dimensions. The 3 dimensions are height width and length x 2 = 6 Why x 2 ? Here's why . All cubes or spheres have a Front+ and back - Top+ and bottom - Left+ and right - set of sides which =6 sides. No matter how you turn the 3d box or spheres you will always have the 6 sides of H W and length . The inside of the box is the 4th dimension The outside of the box is the 5th. All of them depend on one another for any one of them to exist. There isn't a 6th dimension. It's 5 . No more and no less . Our human bodies do too. The 1st dimension is our heads The 2nd are the male and female genders The 3rd are the 3 sets of joints in our arms legs fingers and toes . The 4th is our 4 limbs , the arms and legs . The 5th are our 5 fingers and 5 toes. The math looks like this : 1x1=1 our head unity X2 =2 the male female gender organs. Duality X3 = 6 the 3 male armpits and crotch and 3 female armpits and crotch. X4= 24 the 12 joints in our arms and legs for males and the 12 joints in our arms and legs for females . X5= 120 the 60 joints in our fingers and toes for males and the 60 joints in our fingers and toes for females. When males and females unite as 1, the math becomes unified . 1 both male and female 2. Males and females 6 the armpits and crotch 24. the arms and legs 120. The fingers and toes. 1x1 1 1x2 2 2x3. 6 3x4. 24 4x5. 120. These same numbers apply to time clocks too. I'll post pictures in the next post. My point is the everything originates from the 5 dimensions of : HWL x 2 ( 3+ 3- ) Inside 4 - Outside 5+ Triangles and octagons also have 5 dimensions too. The shape doesn't matter.

Please: (1) I appreciate how members here are willing to share their perspective. (2) Here's another topic I'm exploring at length. (3) Daoism apparently relates Yin/Yang to Feminine/Masculine. (4) That has never worked for me . . . from a Sufi perspective. (5) Sufism emphasizes the non-duality of Unity and Multiplicity. (6) It seems that Daoism might have an equivalent, if you interpret this way: Wuji (container in the Taijitu symbol) = Unity Yin/Yang (contents in the Taijitu symbol) = Multiplicity (7) And Sufism understands: Unity (and its corresponding dynamic of Unification) = Masculinity Multiplicity (and its corresponding dynamic of Differentiation) = Femininity (8) So then, there would be this interpretation of Daoism: Wuji (container in the Taijitu symbol) = Masculinity Yin/Yang (contents in the Taijitu symbol) = Femininity (9) This accords with my personal experience of Masculinity and Femininity. (10) Does this resonate with anyone else (?) (11) I might be able to provide specific experiential example . . .

I'm designing a new logo and I would like to know what the member's opinions are on understanding and orientating the Yin Yang symbol auspiciously. Every orientation seems to be valid in one way or another depending on dynasty and intent and there seem to be many contradictions between scholars. I notice that TDB's logo for the site icon has changed a number of times and that the current incarnation is a very old depiction. May I also ask what was the rationale behind choosing this TDB version? As I understand it there are 3 phases of the Yin Yang. My teacher has told me there is: 1. Something 2. Nothing 3. Emptiness (also known as transition between something and nothing) My teacher also tells me the original YinYang symbol was this... From my own research I have noticed that this pattern (more or less) manifests for me when I'm practicing sun gazing QiGong (although a bit more miasmic than this one ;) In Thomas Cleary's translation of Chang PoTuan's Understanding Reality https://terebess.hu/english/Cleary-Thomas-Understanding-Reality-by-Chang-Po-tuan.pdf he refers to the 3 phases as: 1. Fostering yin whilst repelling Yang 2. Blending yin and Yang 3. Transcending yin and Yang Can anyone help please?
