Yin, Yang, Tao

[Mark M]

Machine translation from "lost sessions":

'Concepts like the Tao, Yin and Yang, and other such symbols are mental tools that, while somewhat more efficient than scientific instruments, program "reality" with a different kind of biased perception that is even more difficult to detect.

'Only determined, intensive personal inner exploration will yield profound insights; a search in which the comfortable cloak of familiar symbols is discarded, in which the individual is naked delves into the essence of his own psyche to discover the meanings of self and the universe. From these experiences new, freshly glittering symbols will emerge that are significant for the world and form the basis for new civilizations.

'Every person embarks on such a search to some extent, and every search is completely different and yet universal. In this comprehensive pursuit there are no answers that can be given -- only clues disguised as answers -- only clues and patterns of meaning that ultimately emerge from each individual psyche as it unravels itself.'

--Seth, Session 752, July 28, 1975
