YIN AND YANG
|
| According
to the Oriental, the Tao is a flow of vital energy that has
given origin to the whole universe and that flows in every direction
without never staying. For some people the Tao is joined to
the Reiki energy; for others, the concept of dark energy is
associated by the Egyptians to Isis and the her twin Nefti.
However is, the Tao is governed by two immanent and unitary
principles, intrinsic to the universe, that are the Yin and
the Yang. The Yin is the passive, dark and lunar principle,
identified with the female one; instead the Yang is the active,
bright and solar principle, identified with the masculine. Nevertheless
the concept of masculine and female it must not be intended
as in sexual sense rather in animic sense. Yin and Yang are
found, proportionate, in all the material objects and in all
the living beings to put aside from the sex. A man contains
inside both these principles that governs the strength vital
Tao that maintains him in life. In a certain sense Yin and Yang
are identical to the poles + and - of the batteries and of all
the electric circuits and it is their dysequilibrium to create
uneasiness and illnesses. |

The
symbol of Yin and Yang in fact it contains in itself the sense
of the Taoist philosophy: it is formed from two spirals, a
white and the other black and of snake-form aspect, in partnership
to the human Kundalini of the acantha. The spirals are penetrated,
winding itself according to the cosmic scheme of the logarithmic
spiral typical of the galaxies. The symmetry is absolute,
the cyclical rotation points out the beginning of one and
the end of the other spiral. The two dots inside the spirals
point out that the principles manifest inside it same the
really opposite one, a concept this really exceptional and
clearly copied by the philosophy of Eraclitus. The Greek philosopher
in fact saw the world equally, with a continuous struggle
among opposite and in mean the dialectical flow of the "Panta
Rei", associabile therefore to the Tao. Eraclitus perhaps
came into contact with Taoist exponents through the Pitagorean
Mysteric School, that not infrequently sought in the East
innovative philosophical elements. |
