ـ "... إن فى الإنسان منطقة عجيبة سحيقة لا تصل إليها الفضيلة ولا الرذيلة ، ولا تشع فيها شمس العقل والإرادة ، ولا ينطق لسان المنطق ، ولا تطاع القوانين والأوضاع ، ولا تتداول فيها لغة أو تستخدم كلمة ... إنما هى مملكة نائية عن عالم الألفاظ والمعاني ... كل مافيها شفاف هفاف يأتي بالأعاجيب فى طرفة عين ... يكفي أن ترن فى أرجائها نبرة ، أو تبرق لمحة ، أو ينشر شذا عطر ، حتى يتصاعد من أعماقها فى لحظة من الإحساسات والصور والذكريات ، ما يهز كياننا ويفتح نفوسنا على أشياء لا قبل لنا بوصفها ، ولا بتجسيدها ، ولو لجأ إلى أدق العبارات و أبرع اللغات ...

توفيق الحكيم

Within man lies a deep wondrous spot, to which neither virtue nor vice can reach. Upon which the sun of reason and will never rise. In which the mouth of logic never speaks, the laws and rules are never obeyed, and not a language is used nor a word is ever spoken.
It is a distant Kingdom, beyond words and meanings. With everything is a sheer murmur offering wonders in a blink. From the depths of which, suffice a single tone or a flash of mind or a scent of a perfum, to allow rise of emotions, pictures and memories, a rising that will shake our being and open ourselves to things we can neither describe nor materialize even if we used the most refined of phrases or the most skillful of languages.

Tawfiq Al-Hakim.

Yin &Yang, or me and she !!



I've been thinking, and so i've been searching. and that's what i've found !.


Yin, is the female, passive, intuitive, receiving force, which is associated with the earth. The earth is the source of all physical life. Yin is associated with :

- Night, Dark
- Rain, -Water, Cold
- Winter, Autumn
- Odd Numbers
- The Moon
- North, West
- Right, Down
- Intuition
- Passive, Static
- Contraction, Decreasing
- Conservative, Traditional
- Valley
- River
- Curve
- Soft
- Solidifying
- Psychol
ogical (Astral) World

- Kidneys, Heart, Liver, Lungs

Yang, is the male,strong, creative force which is associated with heaven. The heaven above us is always in motion.This brings about change.Yang is associated with :
- Day, Light
- Sunshine, Fire, Heat
- Summer, Spring
- Even Numbers
- The Sun
- South, East
- Left, Up

The yin and yang only represent opposite poles and not good or evil .Showing the interrelatedness between the two ,for as one increases the other decreases. This symbol shows the perfect balance between opposites,or the two great forces of the universe. Each contains a part of the other.

Each one of us is a mixture of several aspects and compomnents.

I think that these differences or even contradictions are what attract us to the other

Let us know what you think :))

Mmm! said...

I think so too Dr. Yasser ,

We are ,down deep, a complicated mixture of differences and contradictions. Even if we looked very consistant from the outside, there has to be anything that's not matching this picture ,minor or major. And i commented on one contradiction i found on your latest posts.

Sometimes we're atrracted to the opposite of what we mostly are and sometimes we're attracted to people who mostly resembel us. I find no rule for that. I just follow my instinct for people.

This post was put after i myself did something that's totaly unlike me. the apparent normal me. I can easily say that we can supprise even ourselves sometimes with a hidden aspect of us.
