Hi   ,

  Back again now with a secound part Yin and Yang and this one comes with a worksheet that I translated from a book. Also good to remind that on the next chapter I-Ching 03 we will start the most inner part from the I-Ching, cause right now we are just learning the important basics of it, than we will be going to how it was created and how to use .
  Yin and Yang are complementary and antagonistic forces. They form a costant cycle of regeneration and degeneration. Their regulation is the fundamental process of existance (so in I-ching, we are always changing, even though some times it doesn't seems   )
  In Taoism, the phenomenal world was created through the interaction of Yin and Yang. The Yang state of tai chi (called great ultimate) arose spontaneously from the yin state wu chi (ultimate nothingness). Remember that, yang is the light so its represented by white and heaven, and yin by dark and earth. An example of separing yin from yang is visible on feng shui where furniture is yin and space is yang.


  The patterns of change are nothing more than combinations of yin and yang in the process of transformation. Remembering that:
Yang is firm and light line           and          Yin is a yeld and dark line

I always think the lung should be yang lol, I understand why it isn't but it would make sense if it was yang like the other organs that take in from outside.
