Gary's response: Okay, I'll stop with the heavy classical. How about a
Romantic question? If Quality is the Tao, then we might ask what is Yin and
what is Yang? Is Romantic Q the Yin? Is Classical Q the Yang? Is Dynamic
Q the Yang? Is Static Q the Yin?
Yin is associated with 'The Receptive' in the I Ching. Yang is associated
with 'The Creative' in the I Ching. I will quote from 'The Great Treatiise'
, the 'Ta Chuan', the first commentary on the I Ching. The following is
from the first chapter:
"The greatest forces are Creative and Receptive. Listen: The process of
Creative completes things through Yang. The process of Receptive completes
things through Yin. Creative knows the great beginnings. Receptive makes
and completes all things. Creative knows through the easy. Receptive can do
things through the simple. What is easy, is easy to know; what is simple is
easy to follow....By means of the easy and the simple we grasp the laws of
the whole world. When the lasw of the whole world are grasped, therein lies
perfection."
How is that for poetry? That should appeal to your Romantic Soul/Mind.

Hi Gary,
If Quality is the Tao must we tie down Yin and Yang?
I suspect Yin and Yang are found where ever there is mutuality?
Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies,
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?
And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? and what dread feet?
What the hammer? and what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!
When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
