there's a one word answer
Walking forward into the Earth, your will has become manifest.
We arrange reality according to our comparative strength of will. Program or be programmed, these are your choices.
陰 and 陽 ≠ good and evil. No such concept is relevant or applicable to such a deliciously amoral universe as the one we exhibit. 陰 we are resting. 陽 we are creating.
Mohandas Gandhi, Jim Jones, Martin Luther King Jr., Charles Manson, Julian Assange, Dick Cheney, Douglas Rushkoff, Bob Dobbs, Yeshua bin Yosef, Philip K. Dick, Robert Anton Wilson, etc. Let's call them Bodhisattvas JFTFOI. Some are balanced, some are not and I won't try to speculate which ones. Not my problem.
Late stage capitalism is mass delusion approaching hegemony. Strong wills program the delusion. Intermediate wills submit to the delusion. Weak wills are unaware of the delusion. As capitalist reality factories fall behind in production, the physical world becomes unstable.
Program or be programmed, these are your only choices. What will you do with the bodies of others? What will you let others do with your body? 陰 is allowing. 陽 is defining.
Lessons in What Not to Become
Jim Jones: death priest extrodinaire. Create too much, too quickly and it becomes unstable. Build too high, can't get down, no rest, hardware requiem, total fuck!!
Julian Assange: informational thamaturge. Penetrates to rearrange but mistakes bodies for machines for machines for bodies. Create too much, too sexually and it becomes unstable. Would you fuck yourself without permission? Of course not.
Charles Manson/Jesus Christ: psychedelic conduit. Accept too much, see too far and you become a reality sponge. Only the true messiah absorbs all poisonous creation. Only the true messiah is a fucking asshole. Manson turns violence into an artform. Christ turns violence into a manner of worship. In the end, they couldn't restrain 陽.
Conclusion
( 陰 + 1 ) + ( 1 - [陽+1] ) = well. it kind of depends.
