Waldo, from my understanding of Taoism, that's not what Yin and Yang actually
means... but, I understand your point about the duplicity, the hypocrisy and
the propaganda behind those people who are always attempting to Social Engineer
us for their benefit! This is all because Humans have been seduced by the
Devil(The Ego) and turned away from God(Nature).
However, this "problem" of humans affecting their environment is not as simple
as is being depicted here, it is not just all "a hoax"... pollution from dirty
coal burning power plants and exhaust from fossil fuel combustion, etc., are
very detrimental to ALL life on Earth and are the byproduct of the hubris from
that same Demonic influence going all the way back to Eden and the first bite
of the fruit of knowledge... this is more than the climate-change boogey man
being lampooned in these photos!
We are now attempting to move away from these old sources of energy and develop
the ubiquitous use of electrical power for all our transportation and
communication needs, etc., etc. but this is basically the same thing and
results in EMF emission/pollution at a much higher scale than we've ever had
before... we don't really know what that would do to us and to the planet, so
we are screwed one way or the other! Not to mention that a Nuclear World War
might just be around the corner and would make all this irrelevant!
Since you chose to flavor this email as a Yin vs Yan conundrum, here is the
Taoist/Buddhist perspective on it:
TASTING THE FRUIT OF DUALISM
Let me tell you who you are; you are a being who has been born into this
incarnation, who has been born into many incarnations before this and for most
of you, who will be born into many more after this.
This is all a part of the Living Spirit, the Way, the Tao, the harmony, the
flow. In biblical terms it is called the Garden of Eden.
Within that perfection exists the choice of man within the system. The choice
to go with or against the flow. The instruction for existing in the Garden of
Eden was, do everything you want within the flow but do not taste of that
fruit. So what is that fruit? That fruit is the fruit of knowledge, the fruit
of dualism. It is the fruit of subject and object, where you stand separately
and you ‘know’ rather than ‘be.’ Do you want to bite the fruit and know what
God knows or do you want to leave it alone and be what God is. It’s a choice.
Take a bite and now you think you know that you are separate; you are no longer
‘it’ because you know about it. Now you are covering yourself with fig leaves
and God’s saying to you, “Who ever told you that you were separate? Why are you
so ashamed?”
Birth after birth it goes like this and in each birth, what are you doing? You
are born into an incarnation, you experience separateness and you attempt to
regain the state that you had in the garden, which is in you still… the God
within.
But you’re still trying to maintain your separateness as well because you want
the power to be God and still be you. You keep trying to create heaven but you
are doing so through more cars, more beautiful partners, more coffee, more
television. You are functioning under a philosophy of more is better. The
predicament is that more will never be enough and another strategy for more is
always developed. It becomes, what’s for dinner then what’s for dessert and how
about a cigarette after that. Then out for a drive, then bowling, then the
movies, ok what do we do now? This is operating under the pretense that if you
get the rushes close enough together, your life will turn into the Garden of
Eden. This becomes a bit nerve-wracking because you’ve got to move pretty fast
to keep up.
This is the philosophy of rushes and this is what most of the culture does even
though Christ said, “Lay not up your treasures on earth, where rust and moth
doth corrode.” This means, don’t invest in the external stuff, and here’s
everybody worshipping their stuff.
Once you know that there is something other than what you have bitten into most
of the time, your choices take on a new kind of karmic significance. Because
now you start to have the choice to take action; to go in harmony with God’s
will or in opposition to God’s will. Which is what started your dance in the
first place, the choice to go against God’s will, the story of the Garden of
Eden. Your will is a manifestation of your desires, your attachments, your
clinging, this is what the Buddha says.

The question of whether a being is fully realized or not depends on whether
that being is really egoless or just...

This process slowly tunes you back into the harmony of things. It’s like, if
you’re driving to school and you are in a hurry and the traffic becomes a
terrible opposition to you, you struggle to move faster and faster. But you
could take a breath and say, ‘Well, I’m in traffic; when I get to school, I’ll
get to school; I am doing the best that I can, but it is also about this
moment.’ You open yourself up to the flow and accept that there is a certain
rate at which the traffic moves.
