Freedom From , To , Of , For and With and the Complementarities Freedom Specified We may conceive of freedom as freedom from, freedom to, freedom of, freedom for and freedom with. Freedom from may require inhibition, constraints, limits, obstructions or boundaries. Freedom to, freedom of, freedom for and freedom with, may require the removal of those same inhibitions, constraints, limits, obstructions or boundaries. Complementarity and Sense Because freedom of the one kind … [Read more...]
Freedom: From, To, Of, For and With and the Complementarities
The YIN MIND
The YIN MIND ________________________________________________________________ It is a culturally propagated influence: simplify and generalize! Why? Because we are cognitively impaired. We are and we have become closed. We seek certainty. Analysis is the method: to know by taking things apart, with our minds or with our hands. One scientific method commends us to isolate and to define. We presume a single path connection of cause and effect. In fact, at … [Read more...]
THE YIN MIND: Comes Revolution
The YIN MIND __________________________________________________________ When wisdom lacks so much that all there is to do is heap a naggin' touch on trouble when it comes . . . . . . well, a hungry man knows well the ache from lack o' food. You've not been his saviour to tell him 'bout starvation his destiny not eatin' soon. Pronouncements, proclamations: how many hungry how many dead! Too many sayin', "Please help" too few helpin' Well . . . I'm sayin' . … [Read more...]

The YIN MIND _________________________________ Breath - swiftly blown from pursed lips propels a missile - like a feather and a strange observer watching me blow a feather may quite well feel he knows the use of the creature he watches. but then I leap from a bank into still water and a great splash rises and a strange observer . . well - And after that I shout in a canyon and a strange observer may well feel he knows the use of … [Read more...]
The Yin Mind – Systemic Sissipative Structures
The YIN MIND ___________________________________________________________ We live in a culture that commends that we get as much as we can and give as little as we can. Yet, life is characterized by flow. This motto, about getting and giving counters this principle about life as flow. In the book: Order Out of Chaos, Prigogine and Stengers show that dissipative structures, are determinate, when and only when the difference between what flows in and what flows out is … [Read more...]
The YIN MIND, Eve Revere
__________________________________________________________ Whether it was Wallace or Darwin who was first, they both learned: species adapt to their environment. Wallace found insects, beetles, that had differences of form on two sides of a river. Darwin found that isolating factors caused species to adapt: islands, mountain ranges, rivers, they all supplied isolating factors. However, beyond the isolating factors of nature, there are self imposed isolating factors i.e. … [Read more...]
The YIN MIND: Dimensions are Sequence Providing
The YIN MIND Dimensions are sequence providing. Time is a dimension. Time is a dimensional convergence system. Time imparts a pattern, through dimensional convergence, within which pattern, energy is parceled. The convergence of dimensions involves perpendicularities, tangencies and aspects. The convergence of dimensions involves concentrations and expansions. The concentrations are balanced by expansions. The concentrations can be brought to the degree of … [Read more...]

The YIN MIND ____________________________________________________________ As a candle burns the flame illuminates, tallow flows . . . . a pool around the wick gives fuel ascending, a warm fluid rising absorbent strands . . . . hotter, until it rises further a vapour beyond the bounds of wick strands its destiny: a flame's glow, lighting all around, guiding the motions of those blind without the light The tallow of my person forms a pool as it flows around the wick of my … [Read more...]
The YIN MIND – ‘The TRUTH TALES of Dreams’
The YIN MIND _________________________________________________________ Dreams are meant to keep you asleep and to process obstructions and discontinuities in your world view, your map of the reality that you inhabit. In order to keep you asleep, dreams are coded. The code breaking key is usually found, at the end of the dream. Dreams are meant to relate more, to more, more extensively, more effectively and more appropriately. Dreams use metaphor, analogy and allegory to … [Read more...]
EVE REVERE – Our Sufficient IDEAL?
There is a difference between restoring, regenerating, rejuvenating and renewing and evolving and advancing. What we were, in youth, may have been more agile, more mobile, more alert and more aware, with a healthy hair colour (not gray) and a healthy skin tone (not wrinkled). However, is that an adequate ideal? Is that a sufficient optimization? . . . to restore, to regenerate, to rejuvenate and to renew. Better yet, let us evolve. Let us advance. Life extension isn’t a sufficient … [Read more...]
The YIN Mind@EVE Revere – ‘Our Innermost Functions’
The Yin Mind looks at the innermost functions of women, the essence of being female. What has been written before, has presented challenges, provocation, perhaps disturbance, to the ideal meant to be affirmed, asserted, expressed and advocated. Now, here, the threshold has been crossed. We enter the substance, the inner physiology, the psychology of the female mind. So often we read, in these pages, about the appearance, the style the presentation of the female form as a canvas upon … [Read more...]
