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 the juncture, some will … [Read more...]

The YIN MIND, Breath – swiftly blown
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...]
EVE REVERE: The YIN MIND – As A Candle Burns (poem)
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...]
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 – 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...]

The Very Gentlest of Ways, “Tip-toe through the tulips . . . “
The YIN MIND ___________________________________________________________ As far back as I can remember, I have always wanted only that to which I was most welcome. It even applied to attention, to regard, to respect. Most of all, it applied to love. So often, I've challenged gestures of generosity. Part of the reason for that was to try to discriminate between bartered gifts and that which was really meant to support, uphold, nourish, what I hold as purpose. As though I … [Read more...]
The YIN MIND: ‘Beyond Christianity, Religiosity and Academia . . . to Spirituality’
The YIN MIND ___________________________________________ The Vatican has a vast and an ancient library. There is only one person who can remove a book from that library: The Pope. One such Pope, Pope Leo X (1513 – 1521) said: “How well we know what a profitable superstition this fable of Christ has been for us.” There is a book, The Lost Wisdom of the Ancient Masters by Professor Hilton Hotema. Professor Hotema said: … [Read more...]
Your Thoughts Form Your Reality – The YIN MIND
“Events are not things that happen to you. Events are materialized experiences formed by you, according to your expectations and your beliefs.” “If you are in poor health, you can remedy it. If your personal relationships are unsatisfactory, you can change them for the better. If you are in poverty, you can instead find yourself surrounded by abundance...” “This does not mean that effort is not required, and determination. It does mean that you are not … [Read more...]
