Modern society is too Yang'd up - We need more Yin - Start there....

“Modern man thinks he loses something; time, when he does not do things quickly. Yet he does not know what to do with the time he gains except to kill it.”
~ Eric Fromm

At this time in human and earthly evolution, the collective consciousness of humanity, as a whole, is out of balance. There is simply too much yang and not enough yin. This has been the case for the last hundreds and potentially thousands, of years, hence, the madness throughout human history with the continuous engagement in war, greed, environmental degradation, and the exploitation of other beings.

During this time in our human and planetary journey, the human consciousness evolution is slowly moving from a yang dominant state to a more yin and balanced state. This transition is largely coming about as humans become more sensitive and aware of the interconnectedness of all things.

Although this is not a new idea, not many humans actually embody it, understand it, and live in accordance with it. On the intellectual level, it is easy to understand, but on the actual level, it is often very difficult to understand. Ongoing observation, meditation, and self-reflection are some of the best tools to assist in this actualization process.

Humans are slowly coming to realize our true innate connection with Mother Nature and our connection to each other and all of life. Through this understanding, we come to see the Mother Earth and each other as extended expressions of our own selves and, therefore, we do not seek to hurt or harm others because to do so creates a negative ripple throughout all of humanity, which, in turn, only harms ourselves.

When we look at each other from a yang dominant state, what we see is separation and this creates the destructive “I – Me” complex. When we view ourselves as a separate “I - Me”, we are free to carry out thoughts, words, and deeds with the primary aim to satisfying and uplifting the “I - Me” complex, which usually comes at the cost of other beings.

There is a way to live in this world where the having and receiving does not come at the cost of taking away from another, which incites poverty, but rather, the having and receiving is of a mutual benefit, where an energetic and material exchange is in place, which benefits all beings.

As we move into the next necessary stage of the human evolution process, the cultivation of yin energy is recommended as a way to create a smoother and more graceful transition into the next stage. Those who have a cultivated a good dose of yin will be much more at ease during the next stage of our collective human evolution. Those who remain in a state of excess yang and have not worked to cultivate any yin energy will likely find it difficult over next few decades with regular and frequent experiences of anxiety, uneasiness, and agitation.

For humanity to continue to survive and thrive, I believe many of us will need to focus more intensely on cultivating the yin energy within. If we do not, as a collective, humanity will likely write its own fate toward self-destruction.
