Yin-Yang
Yin and Yang – this is the intrinsic nature of three-dimensional space, it is the existence principle of the space on this earth.
Yin and Yang are in equal measure, and they represent space in accordance with their particular characteristics. So no matter what we do, no matter what we strive for, nothing can change this nature, until we understand the conditions that can lead us beyond the concept of Yin-Yang.
What can lead us beyond the threshold of Yin-Yang is the condition of Yang-Yin, when Yin and Yang cease to be opposites, and begin to represent a unified force. They can represent it only in the moment of rotation, which in fact requires an axis. If we want to free ourselves from the dependence on Yin-Yang, we have to start walking in a circle.
The concept of Yin and Yang is a utopia without clarity and understanding. This concept is dead, because its task is to flood the space that it represents. It floods our body, the space where we live, and, in fact, the Earth itself. In principle, it doesn’t care what it represents – a mountain, a river, or man – for all of this is one. Even the rotation the Earth makes, is the same – it turns everything together. And that's even worse – to be within a singular rotation.
However, if Yin-Yang fills up everything, then what is it that distinguishes one thing from the other? What distinguishes one thing from the other is form. So although everything is flooded by this one thing, there is a difference in the forms. And among these forms the important ones are the ones that can create a difference.
Difference is created where there is a seed, that is, where there is something new that can get rid of the old. However, this new should contain a force that would not simply become a product of the old. It should be able to survive, i.e. it should not become dependent on this old, during its development and growth. In other words, it must have a new rotation, a rotation that is different from the old one, which is singular. Therefore, if we want to understand the Yin-Yang, we need to get rid of it, and we can get rid of it only through the rotation, because it can drop us into depths, hitherto invisible and hidden from us.
We can talk as much as we want about the concept of Yin-Yang, however this will not lead us anywhere. We can talk about the shell, yet never see the center. When Yin and Yang merge, we get another entity. Within this separate entity Yin controls collecting and Yang controls rotation. Of course, the important thing here is the cycle, and especially the fact that it removes all superficial variety, which means that the cycle thus becomes the conditional measure of rhythm, instead of time.
Thus, the temporal concept of Yin and Yang is not only unnecessary but also harmful. And if we look from the perspective of rhythm, the duality here disappears altogether, and we are guided by the Primordial.
