Connotations ...
Yin tends to having a meaning of good, for me.
Yang tends to point toward what is bad, often.
I see. I feel the fragmentation in your heart.
Yes. Like. Totally.
As being a being, being me of all 10k-things, wan-wu,
people in particular, as an individual, others,
having bins, given names, occur.
Being born, like and unlike Zhuangzi
who, seeing as how all of life is One,
what need is there for words, words matter.
At times, words matter.
At times, knot sew mulch.

<< begin quote from above >>
Now I am going to make a statement here.
I don't know whether it fits into the category
of other people's statements or not.
But whether it fits into their category
or whether it doesn't, it obviously fits
into some category. So in that respect it is
no different from their statements.
However, let me try making my statement.
There is a beginning.
There is a not yet beginning to be a beginning.
There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is being. There is nonbeing. There is a not yet beginning to be nonbeing. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be nonbeing. Suddenly there is nonbeing. But I do not know, when it comes to nonbeing, which is really being and which is nonbeing. Now I have just said something. But I don't know whether what I have said has really said something or whether it hasn't said something.
...
Heaven and earth were born at the same time I was,
and the ten thousand things are one with me.
We have already become one, so how can I say anything?
But I have just said that we are one, so how can I not be saying something? The one and what I said about it make two, and two and the original one
make three. If we go on this way, then even the cleverest mathematician
can't tell where we'll end, much less an ordinary man.
If by moving from nonbeing to being we get to three,
how far will we get if we move from being to being?
Better not to move, but to let things be!

As an ego tripping, totally inflated, Yang
is able to connote being, the One, to a point.
Mystical experiences vary.
For me, to be a macho man, not a wuss,
not a cry-baby, might well have a well
akin to the frog who encountered a sea
turtle if you know the story.

Froggy was, perhaps, inflated, until. ...
And then, beyond Caguama, was Jo, of an ocean.
Zz 17 is iconic, for me.
Notions vary.
To be a dick, given an environment.
Times change and to respond remains.
Two, three and how many of me,
of selves there argh remains. Mystery.
To be compassionate. Lots of dimensions
unfold when explored using consciousness
as a vehicle of a sort.
If Yin is compassion
then Yang may be dispassion.
For me, to be involved may be yang.
To be uninvolved, yin. To dispassionate,
then is more yin than yang and sowing words flow.
Perhaps you get Teh, aka De, drift.
When a person sees Yin
and Yang as mutually exclusive things -- through antagonistic concepts, concepts that are non-mixing opposites of each other -- splitting the
mind into unrest is the leading path.
For me, personally, as a persona
of who knows given epistemologies,
cognitive dissonance is normal.
The me that is me is not me
when an other me asserts its elf.
Presuming you know what pronouns argh.
Hope you can find Yang the growing of Yin, or Yin the growing of Yang.
Emotions cycle.
Intellectual ceilings inhibit
what presents thems elves as Mystery.
Xuan, aka Hsuan, is a term in DDJ 1.
After all, each comes from the single Wu-Wei source; so Yin and Yang
cannot be so separate after all ;-) .
Like. Totally. Agree.
Peace,
Namaste!
