We've Been Away So Long
Abstract
Western society has neglected its Yin dimension. We have forgotten the positive and creative aspects of our tenderness, receptivity, compassion, understanding, surrender, and intuition. Instead, we have overdeveloped our capacity to dominate, control, analyze, and rationalize. We are more than ever divided on account of this, as though half of ourself has been lost. We have left home. We have lost touch with our real being and must return to the wholeness of our being if we want to survive. We must recover our heart, the root of our possibilities, which cannot be released as long as the Yang dimension takes over.Downloads
