The Doubling Sequence: Yin Yang Dance Of Opposites Creates The Manifested World

 

The Doubling Sequence:

Yin Yang Dance Of Opposites Creates The Manifested World

The desire to map the Beginning of Creation, how Something Emerged from Nothing, is the story of our lives. All cultures and philosophies have tried to explain this Mystery of Being.

So where do we start? Why just keep doubling.

Begin with Wu Chi, the Great Void where Everything is One. Call it Source, God, It.

Let It split, call It male Yang and female Yin.

Let the Light and the Dark combine to form Tai Chi or Harmony of the Duality and dynamic balance.

Keep splitting, keep doubling, keep naming, let the 1 become the 2 become the 4 become the 8 trigrams, the 8 Baguas encompassing Heaven and Earth, Lake and Mountain, Fire and Water, Wind and Thunder. Place the sacred 8 around the Number Phive and create the Universe in the Magic Square of 3x3, the first potent symbol where all lines, rows and columns equate or sum the same.

In verse 42 of the Tao Te Ching, however, “the Two gives birth to the Three.”

In the Taijitu Shuo version of Taoist cosmology, the Two (Yin Qi & Yang Qi) give birth to the 5 Elements, whose various combinations generate The Ten Thousand Things. In the Bagua's rendering, the Two (Yin & Yang) give birth to Supreme Yin, Lesser Yin, Supreme Yang and Lesser Yang, which then combine to form the eight trigrams, as the basis for the Ten Thousand Things which is all phenomena of the manifest world.

This unfolding of the Doubling Sequence, Binary Code is the Gateway between the unmanifest and the manifest. In the language of Christianity, this is the moment when the “wind/breath of God swept over the face of the waters.”

In this Taoist cosmological view, this play of opposites gives birth to “all universal things.

In the Buddhist Heart Sutra is says: “form is emptiness, emptiness is form, emptiness is no other than form, form is no other than emptiness.”
