Yin/Yang Symbol by Michael Corthell In ancient Chinese philosophy, yin and yang ("dark-light", "negative-positive") is a philosophical conceptualization that describes how obviously opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as one thing like a coin or a living being has a front and back that cannot be separated. In Chinese cosmology, the One( the Universe) creates itself out of a primary soup of material energy, organized into the cycles(waves) of Yin and Yang and it is then formed into objects and living beings.  Yin is the receptive and Yang the active principle, seen in all forms of change and difference such as the annual cycle (winter and summer), the landscape (north-facing shade and south-facing brightness), sexuality (female and male), and the formation of both men and women as manifestations of the One. In Taoist metaphysics, distinctions betw

If you've ever heard the phrase "like attracts like," then you're already familiar with the basic premise of The Law of Attraction .

The nature of time is black and white, a dance of shadows and gleaming light, A never-ending cycle, a constant sight, guiding us through every day and night... by Michael Corthell Isaiah 45:7 states, "I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity(peace) and create disaster(evil); I, the Lord, do all these things."  This verse has been interpreted in various ways, but one interpretation is that it suggests that good and evil are naturally balancing forces in the universe. This idea of balance between good and evil can be compared to the concept of yin and yang in Chinese philosophy, which represents the complementary and interconnected forces of nature. The yin and yang symbol depicts two halves of a circle, one black and one white, each containing a smaller circle of the opposite color. This symbolizes the idea that each force contains the seed of the other, and that they are constantly in a state of dynamic balance. Similarly, the concept of wave/particle duality

    'Earthrise' Presented by  The Vegan Project The human race is and has been for over a generation, in the middle of a revolutionary paradigm shift in consciousness, one that will only change our entire global civilization for the better - a New World. Looking through history, it’s very clear that the world has undergone many of these shifts.  A paradigm shift is a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions. For example, when Pythagoras proposed that the Earth was round instead of flat, the foundation of science and people’s understanding of the world was completely changed. Similarly, when the Industrial Revolution took place there was a complete shift in manufacturing, lifestyle, and economics.  A paradigm shift will literally shake a society, or an entire civilization to its core, by making it veer off its current path, and driving it toward a new one. Though it might appear the opposite in the corporate-controlled mainstream news, it appears that t

by Michael Corthell The writer/poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox gave evidence of her understanding of the supreme, intangible force of the subconscious mind in this verse: “You never can tell what a thought will do In bringing you hate or love— For thoughts are things, and their airy wings Are swifter than carrier doves. They follow the law of the universe— Each thing creates its kind, And they speed O’er the track to bring you back Whatever went out from your mind.” Yes, the greatest intangible force in the Universe is thought. A THOUGHT. Thinking about possible positive outcomes will create IDEAS (thoughts) that lead to positive results. Period.   ''And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.'' —Genesis 1:3 God allowed light to enter into being. Even for God to do so required a thought. ONE thought. The singularity. We, being created by Him, in His image (a representation) use the very same formula to manifest matter. We tran

by Michael Corthell Before we get to the top 20 self-healing affirmations let's look at why positive self-healing affirmations work! Positive self-healing affirmations work because they not only help to shift our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs in a positive direction, they help drive out negative thoughts as well. According to Rhonda Britten , affirmations work best when combined with acknowledgments because they build up a backlog of results in one's mind to prove that one can do what one is affirming. For example, the acknowledgment "I bought a good pair of sneakers and some gym clothes" could complement the affirmation "I can reach my goal of losing 20 pounds." The goal is to focus on steps one has taken toward accomplishing one's goals rather than criticizing oneself for what one has not yet accomplished, or could theoretically have accomplished but did not. Positive affirmations are closely related to positive self-talk . Affirmations can and ofte
