Yin-Yang!

When I was growing up, I thought the ying-yang symbol was just some hippie vomit.  The more I learn, the more and more I am realizing how insanely deep and meaningful it really is.  Anyone else feel the same?

I certainly have, I think it is one the most useful models of all time

@livg7046 The hallmark of excellence is speaking things simply, in a way that reflect the person's depth.
The excellence of the Yin-yang is insane.


Bearing with the conditioned in gentleness, fording the river with resolution, not neglecting what is distant, not regarding one's companions; thus one may manage to walk in the middle. H11L2

"Hippie vomit" is eastern spiritual concepts' way of influencing the Western consciousness, lol. I remember being a teenager and being weirded out by the Vishnu magnet my uncle had on his fridge. Now, looking back at it, it feels like an early encounter with the gods letting me know they would become major presences in my life, lol.
