I would like to write this post in the style of a lecture form the 1920's. I don't know why, but that style feels comfortable to me. Probably because I've read so many old books, or maybe it's because I'm a Mason and have memorized so many ancient texts. Imagine yourself sitting in a theater chair, looking down on an old and worn stage. A lecturer has come to town, a nobody. His topic seemed vaguely interesting and you had nothing better to do this evening. The lecturer walks out on stage. He says the following---

The Yin and Yang Principle

I would like you to understand that everything in this world of ours is either yin or yang, male or female, light or darkness, health or sickness, pleasure or pain. And each of these things is again subdivided into yin and yang, and so forth into infinite inner space. Like wise, all things are grouped into larger and larger yin and yang groups, expanding forever into infinite outer space. This arrangement is much like the fractal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal

Put another way, if you look at a yang thing, you will notice that part of it is actually yin, and those parts, in turn, are further divided into smaller yin and yang components.

Male and Female

The human is an example of this principle. For simplicity's sake, let's say that the man is yang and the woman is yin. Many of you here have learned about, or experienced, this concept of a man and a woman hugging, perhaps in an intimate way, front to front, in order to exchange energies and reach a state of equilibrium. As a result of this Sacred Embrace, each human becomes energized with enough of the other's energy so as to become balanced. Note that at least a half hour is needed for this to occur, generally speaking.

Now, let's separate the couple and examine them one at a time. According to the Yin and Yang Principle, the man, though he is yang, has a yin part, and the female, likewise, has a yang part. They are a part of this cosmic fractal pattern. Since this is true, it stands to reason that each should be able to balance their yin and yang energies within, without the aid of the other part---the man without the woman, and visa versa. This is not to say that the Sacred Embrace is not needed or desired, but that a state of equilibrium can be reached by working with the energies on this smaller scale as well.

There are actually many ways for a single person to connect their yin and yang parts to find balance. I will teach you one here. I chose this method to endorse because it requires no special skills, just a desire. The method is this, and is based on an old Taoist tradition---

Pubic Hair and Heart Connection

You simply lay on your back. Get comfortable. Use a pillow. Don't cross your legs, even at the angles. Straighten you spine and relax. Next, place your left palm on your pubic hairs and your right palm on your heart center, about level with the nipples. Palms resting on bare skin is more effective, but the energy will also pass through clothing. The Taoist have a teaching about Hair Breathing. They teach that energy is passing through the hairs. As you rest your left palm on your pubic hairs perhaps you will sense this energy passing through the hairs. The left palm is receiving and the right palm is giving, from an energy perspective. So, as you lay there, with no thought about what is supposed to be happening, the sex energy will move to the heart center. You could say that the sex organs are yang and the heart is yin, but be careful not to generalize too firmly, remember the yin-yang fractal nature of everything.

After about ten minutes, you may start to feel a distinct energy movement in your body. After a half hour of laying like this, you will feel balanced and wish to get up. You will feel energized, peaceful, more patient, ready to take up you tasks once again with a calm assurance. You must recognize these symptoms as the same a couple feels after the Sacred Embrace. That is because in each case, an equilibrium of male and female energies has been reached. The balancing of inner yin and yang.

Practice Uses

This knowledge will be useful to the man or woman who is without the means to receive a Sacred Embrace. Or, let's say your partner is away and you come against a circumstance that throws you off balance. For the addict, let's use a porn addict as the example---if he is able to use his sense of good judgment to lay down and rest in the way I prescribed here instead of giving in to his urge, he will get up from his rest without the least desire for his addiction. That is because his body energy system will be in harmony and will not find anything out of harmony attractive to it. That is, until another state of disharmony is reached at another time.

There is no limit to what can be effected in this way. Are you chronically cranky? That is a negative energy state and you cannot remain that way if you are in harmony energetically.

Though this lecture was short, it has covered all that is needed for you to get what I am trying to say. Now, I must leave because I have a number of other lectures to give over the next few days in the surrounding towns, but I will return in a week's time. If you can be here then, we can have an open discussion about your observations of this idea.

Thank you.
