From Alienation to Love
I look at this symbol of pure wisdom and marvel at how the whole world and the way it works is encapsulated in this single, iconic symbol. It's truly amazing!
It even contains the warning against ignorance, from its choice of colours, that we do NOT live in a Black and White World, rather we live in a World of Non-Absolutes, or a World of Complementary Opposites.
For example... in psychological and spiritual terms humankind, as a consequence of its relationship with materialism, has alienated itself from the living consciousness of our world and the universe. All the conflict, corruption and turbulence we are all experiencing in our times, all the troubles, trials and tribulations we each face in our own lives… all of this is happening because we hit the extreme, and now black is morphing into white, white is morphing into black, and homeostasis—balance and harmony—is being restored by the natural intelligence of Life.
The moment you hit, say, 99.99% black, now you start becoming white. From tyranny to freedom, and from freedom to tyranny.
We simply forgot who we are, what we are, and became so alienated from 'God', 'The Divine Presence', 'Universal Intelligence' that in effect we got rid of our very SELF.
We gave away our human essence, we forfeited our gift of love and gratitude.
We were too busy chasing THINGS, too busy measuring and valuing everything, and especially ourselves, by an 'economic' yardstick. Our very creations have devoured us, consumed our spirit, disconnected us from the bosom of the Energy Force of Life.
I call it the 'corporate mindset'. We are not human beings, we are numbers, products, workhorses, things, objects.
'They', the elites, the 1%, the uber-wealthy… they don't hate you, they just see you as a number, an object, because this is how they are themselves. It takes love to love, a hurt person to hurt, and a divided person can only divide other persons.
And so, now, finally, humankind—as evidenced by the beautiful actions and learning of increasing numbers of individual humans—has realised it's gone clinically insane, denied itself its own human essence, and alienated itself from each other and from the planet and universe that birthed us.
We allowed the rules to take over.
We allowed the rules to dominate us and tell us what to do and think.
We allowed the rules to steal our freedom and love.
We allowed red tape to strangle us.
We allowed technocrats and bureaucrats to dominate us.
We gave away our powers and our inner beauty.
We allowed ourselves to be objectified and commodified.
As an individual human being begins to 'de-isolate' themselves, to 'de-alienate' themselves, and to 'de-disempower' themselves, and as this morphs into the healing process of reconnecting and empowering themselves within their own Self, with others, and with the whole Life Energy Force, so they find love, joy, peace, fun, happiness, harmony and health coming back to them.
Life is never fixed. We are either well, unwell, well heading towards unwell, or unwell heading towards well.
Pain and discomfort are VITAL as a corrective mechanism.
Studying the yin and yang symbol, and imbibing the natural intelligence it is conveying to us, gives us much more power over our destiny. After all, the creation known as 'human being' was given this power and ability to proactively shape its own life and the environment we live in.
Can't do that when we are alienated, we have given away that power and ability.
But as we begin to notice and realise our alienation and insanity, we can pull back from it. And that is what we are now doing in hugely increasing numbers.
But an individual can only do this once they actually can SEE the problem.
The Human Meltdown of 2020 came to rescue us in this regard.
