Another attempt to explain the "meaning" of yin-yang on youtube but the real secret is still left out.

Why do Westerners not understand yin-yang-Emptiness? (video) The music theory definition reveals the secret of the math. So Western math assumes a symmetric logic as commutative analytic geometry (irrational magnitude). Orthodox Pythagorean philosophy is actually the same as yin-yang-Emptiness as is the "three gunas of no guna" philosophy of India. All these come from music theory as noncommutative phase logic.

So if the 1 is "c" and the octave as 2 is also C that is the Emptiness but since 3 does not line up with 2 then it is 2/3 as a subharmonic or Yang as C to F (subharmonic) and 3/2 as yang is C to G overtone harmonic. But the 1 as an octave can not be the same as the 3. So then the 2/3 is doubled back into the octave (in the West) - using a different 1 - from the 3. That is how symmetric irrational magnitude is created. Daoist Harmonics does not do this but instead does not try to line up the octave (1/2) with the Perfect Fifth (2/3).

So then in Daoist music theory there is 9 as the first note from the lunar energy and then 2/3 as 6/9 and then take 4/3 or yin of the 6 so it's 8/6. And you just keep alternating yin and yang without doubling back in as a symmetric. Professor Patrick Edwin Moran goes into this. "The Chinese rule is very simple: Take 2/3 of the length of the open string, and put down a fret there. Then take 4/3 of that second length and put down a fret there. The third step is to take 2/3 of the last length, then 4/3, and so forth. Let's see how that works." http://users.wfu.edu/moran/G_tar2.html

Now keep in mind - it does not have to be "string lengths" - originally it was pitch pipes. So also then you get infinite resonance. The West tries to cover up this as a "closed" system but then has to acknowledge this noncommutative logic - but instead calls it "time-frequency uncertainty." This means that the order of the measurement changes the value (again 2/3 is C to F while 3/2 is C to G).

 So Eddie Oshins working at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center - he also taught Wing Chun and he focused on quantum psychology research. Oshins realized the secret of Daoist Neigong training (internal martial arts) was precisely this "noncommutative phase" logic. So what this means is that there is an inherent Emptiness as non-local complementary opposites. Oshins realized that the actual hand movements in relation to the body are based on this yin-yang secret as noncommutative phase logic. http://www.quantumpsychology.com/ You can see his site for details. 

 

Another good example is the book "Taoist Yoga: alchemy and immortality." So for example for a male the upper body is yang and lower body is yin and the right hand is yin and left hand is yang. So by simply facing the right hand against the upper body you create a noncommutative phase of yin-yang and then the left hand faces the lower body - and that is yang-yin. So that inherently activates the energy as a non-local or non-dual (not-two) dynamic, creating a free flow of energy that can be stored up in the body. The left eye is yang shen but yin qi and the right eye is yin shen but yang qi. So you combine the two by rotating them with the eyes closed and that creates the Yuan Qi (or Emptiness or original qi).

Plato in contrast argued that Two-ness was an inherent symmetry - he called it the "indeterminate dyad" and as his evidence he claimed the two eyes or two arms or two legs, etc. are obviously "symmetric." But NO - that is not true! So as Westerners then from learning the Pythagorean Theorem - we assume this irrational magnitude logic as being inherently symmetrical commutative logic.

So that is why Westerners do not understand the true secret of yin-yang-Emptiness because in the West time is "contained" as a symmetric geometric measurement. In Daoism there is eternal "bipolar" energy from eternal time - we can not see the Emptiness but we can listen to it! thanks.
