You know those statues..with the eyes half closed...blocking out most of the manifest.. The way I see - is with one eye fully open, the other fully closed. One eye sees manifest, the other eye 'sees' mystery. Instead of half-life here and half-life there, It's full life in Both places, same time. What more could someone need or want?

Besides being sweet, Both of you are correct - good off-springs of the TAO. Sweet Yinny has both Yin and Yang eyes: You remember - Tao Te Ching Chapter 42? It starts like this: Tao gives birth to One, (1)One gives birth to Two, (2)The Two gives birth to Three, (3)The Three gives birth to all universal things. (4) When we met last summer in The Middle Mountains - you had so cleverly pointed out these to me my sweet child: (1) is The TAO (2) is Yin and Yang separate as respectively thus: Sweet child - you had drawn your white circle bigger than the black although they are of the same size in Nature. Had you been meeting up with ALPA men friends? The black circle is Yinny's left closed (or open) eye; and the white is Yinny's right bright eye. You are correct when you so humbly shared this "The way I see - is with one eye fully open, the other fully closed. One eye sees manifest, the other eye 'sees' mystery. Instead of half-life here and half-life there, It's full life in Both places, same time." Also you have so intelligently (and a little biting) asks: - What more could someone need or want? - Who needs a third eye? (3) is where stoney is right too. Don't forget he is a Wondering Taoist - he uses his yin-yang eyes to see but he also used his third eye to wonder taoistically. When Yinny's yin eye and yang eye harmonise and vibrate in tandem - her third eye will open conceptually/symbolically thus: As Wu Ming Jen would have said, Yinny's third eye will enable her to - Live beyond life - a sky above the sky. (4) - can you remember what we had discussed on the mountain. I remember it was raining very heavily then. To summarize: Yin eye Yang eye Third eye Live well - don't forget to meditate. - LimA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, you can if you want - but the truth of it is lost. This: is a funny scene from a popular TV show here, and I was whacking LIT with it for not giving Laozi credit in his post; LIT said he didn't identify LZ out of his respect for your wish to avoid reading the TTC.

Thank you for illustrating how you and Yinny and stoney (lol) perceive. For me it is different. I do not have yin-yang eyes Nor do I meditate, or run qi or energy through chakras or little circles or anything else I stopped breathing tao through my dan-tien as a child..when it expanded to every molecule/cell/atom.. The essence in your picture: is what I experience and perceive in every moment with every breath - while I also live my day and do my chores. Both, same time. I cant explain it any other way, and even Tao is just an idea. Warmest regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only constant, is Change. And "the way it goes", the only way for Nothing (WuJi - "without Polarity") to Change, is to become Something. Some Thing Moves, or Happens, or Appears - and Movement/Stasis is a primary Polarity, or "TaiJi" - "Great Polarity". That One Thing "produces" or HAS "Two" - Polarity - an Beginning/End, Up/Down, etc. "Human" HAS male and Female, for example. These interact, as per the modern TaiJiTu and the Divisions of YinYang. Movement between the poles of any polarity is "Qi", or "Energy". Three is "Child" of Two, and also this Movement between "Two". Heaven/Earth is also a Polarity of the (One) "Universe", and this polarity is producing "Human" or "Man". -VonKrankenhaus 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
