The Yin & Yang Dance

The Soul needs a dancing partner. Sure, we can dance all by our lonesome self, but what fun is that? As it relates to the spiritual matters, we have two partners that we can be attracted to for this dance called life. One though is for a really, really short dance while the other is an eternal dance wherein you never get tired.

Indigenous societies call it the dance of Father sky and Mother earth!

Let’s open up a door to another version using some Far East or oriental concepts such as Yin & Yang. According to Chinese philosophy, yin and yang are complementary opposites within a greater whole. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, which constantly interact, never existing in absolute stasis.

Spiritually speaking the SOUL of we created beings is the YIN. We’re here on mother earth, we are the feminine soul (forget your text book testosterone and estrogen teachings for now) that needs a MALE (Father sky) to dance with us. If we forget who brought us to the party (can you say earth), the SOUL realizes it’s nakedness and looks for “another partner”.

In fact the SOUL will create that male partner: and we call him the EGO!

Whereas it becomes easy to FOLLOW the eternal YANG (ever wonder why God is most often put in the MALE paradigm- other than for Christians the Bible was established when patriarchy was in vogue), it will eventually be impossible to follow the dance steps of the EGO. There is no pleasing the EGO. The EGO not only demands that we the SOUL, who by the way created it, FOLLOW, but that we submit in the song selection as well.

When’s the last time you looked into the eyes of your dancing partner?
