I was thinking more on positive and negative again. In my previous posts I feel I’ve seperated and limited my definitions too much. I really should refer to them as yin and yang actions as these definitions are a bit wider than simply positive/negative or light/dark. I’d tried to explain things using western terms, but I now realise that I’m better off using the eastern terms.
If I refer to things as either light/dark, positive/negative, I feel that these have connotations that lead back to good/evil, which are purely artificial intellectual viewpoints and largely depend on a shifting point of view.
But, in addition, all things contain both yin and yang, for example if I eat an apple, then yes I am nourished, but the apple is destroyed in the process. Another example is night time, yes it’s dark (yin) but there are always the moon and the stars (yang), so the position of duality is really an illusion, there is no duality and everything is really one source viewed subjectively.
