Thanks for your thoughtful replies to my question,I am unfortunately ignorant of the above Abraham model. From your own experiences - that's completely expected.īut you don't think that a person who ascribes to YingYang theory experiences the specialness that you have experienced in your life? Going on as far as to call it pathetic? Do you think Einstein's short and sweet equations are worse-off than his predecessor's long pages of sloppy equations? They both try to explain the same thing - can you see what this analogy hints at?Īll the ups and downs, loves and hates, that you have accumulated over the years, are what you say creates the fullness of life. This is an obvious problem for the majority of practitioners.įraggle - you say a 23-dimensional model is more vital, vibrant, and closer to the fullness of life, than a ying yang 2-d model. The most interesting thing I've read in this thread is that this concept causes a stagnation in new ideas. Everything is relative, and everything has an opposite. Constraining it all onto a pathetic one-dimensional linear scale squeezes all the life out of it.Ĭlick to expand.the opposite of pineal gland is no pineal gland. One day you feel like exercising your Hunter, the next day circumstances force to be the Healer or the Warrior, then the Lover sneaks up on you. The 23-dimensional model of the human spirit seems like a good way to analyze and understand it. That makes them manifestations of an archetype, an instinctive motif that occurs across cultural and historical boundaries, programmed into our synapses by a genetic bottleneck or some other accident of DNA, or as a survival trait left over from an era whose dangers we can no longer imagine. Jung says that all the ancient religions had the same number of gods (23 if I'm not mistaken) and even the same gods with different names. The balance of yin and yang is a similar view of life, with all of its rich complexity squeezed out.īoth are a rejection of the ancient polytheistic model. In the West we're more familiar with Abrahamism: everything is either "good" or "evil," or somewhere on a linear scale in between. Yin/yang is like Abrahamist monotheism: an oversimplified one-dimensional model of the human spirit and the entire universe. However does this ancient theory still serve a purpose and is it still practical and relevant to our lives in the 21st Century? Maintaining this dynamic equilibrium between Yin and Yang is said to prolong health and vitality and can probably be applied to all other physical phenomena that is observable or measurable in modern science as we search deeper into ourselves our world and the universe. In Chinese medicine and its related natural sciences this is the 'ultimate theory ' that has not altered in over 2000 years.(leading to eventual stagnation of new ideas.) This constant flux is readily measurable observable at microscopic and universal scales.(What example/s come to your mind ?)
The intricacies of nature and the physical world in which 'man' is an integral part and has struggled with since antiquity.The microcosm within the macrocosm.īy definition Yin & Yang theory is the mutual interdependence of two opposites which only exist as a whole. It is written that the ancient Chinese developed this theory based on thousands of years of observation and experience.
