You could not step twice
into the same river;
for other waters are
ever flowing on to you.

“… you can understand how it does little good to advise tense people to relax if they don't know what 'relaxed' feels like. But once they experience a state of deep relaxation, they have a reference point; they can more easily notice tension as it arises and can take steps to release lt. And once you know what true balance feels like, you'll begin to notice what's out of balance in any area of your life; this serves as an automatic signal to you to return to that centered place within. You apply the Law of Balance by noticing your imbalances.”

“As he hastens between them (Yin and Yang), the pilgrim unites the two poles within himself. Duality, which is the source of all movement and all phenomena, must constantly return - or be returned - to Unity, its origin and its end.”
