the yin yang shouldve been the first religious concept and the most dominant.

@SeriousSam505 Yin(male) means light, hot and active... Yang(female) means dark, cold and passive :)

I am christian and i still belive that that book Tao Te Ching holds knowledge in its poems. That applies not just to one religion but to the world and human existence itself.

@drkn974 ..The mouse steals food from a kitchen. To a human the mouse is evil. The cat eats the mouse, from the mouse's perspective the cat is evil because it kills the mouse. Both cat and mouse do what they must to eat, to survive. Are both evil? YinYang merely represent the flowing aspects of something...sometimes a thing is low, other times high. Sometimes one is behind, sometimes one is ahead. The Taijitu expressing YinYang shows the flow to Harmony, not Conflict. Balance not Struggle.

[geekeing]

@drkn974 ...you are quite right. The Taijitu represents the principle of yin and yang, not forces in conflict but qualities that are interdependent and connected in nature, which is the physical expression of TAO. The dot within each side means each has the potential to be the other, that there are no strict polar opposites. As to your example of good and evil, in nature there is no good or evil, only the human perspective.

@smudge6699 thanks for the pointer man, I appreciate it. :D I'm not surprised to see such a man in Leary's company.

not sure what you're into, but while we're on the topic I might as well try and return the favor and recommend this documentary, I watched the whole thing: /watch?v=_tgAT9WSHxs&feature=r­elated

Yin and Yang represent the vital energies that are everywhere. When they are not in balance, it is reflected outwardly. Chaos moves toward harmony. All things move toward balance. The poems contain wonderful teaching about this vital dynamic.

@SeriousSam505 yin and yang is a dark spirit and a bright spirit
