Beyond Good and Evil

I once dreamt that I was on vacation with my family and I was walking by myself in a small village when the news broke out that the entire prison population had escaped out of a near-by institution. Immediately my thoughts went to my kids and wife, but I figured that they were at a safe location. There I already saw a small group of convicts walking behind me and heard one saying "hey, look what we have here, fresh meat". I figured that meant that they wanted to rape me so I started running into a house, and they came after me. When I was on the third floor, I felt how one guy grabbed me and all I could think was "this is going to hurt", we fought and we both flew through a window landing on a balcony. I took a close look at him, he was white, had an enormous muscular body and a face like a demon. Despite his massive body, I was able to keep him at arms-length eithout much effort. Then I woke up.

In hindsight I am neither of the two, even though I would love to associate with the protective family father than the escaped convict who runs around raping people. After the dream I felt peaceful because I realized that I had reached an important psychological break-through. My demon was out in the open and I had the power to keep him at arms- length.

Today I experienced a satori moment when I realized that I am beyond good and evil, beyond the ying and yang. At that moment of connectedness with the 'beyond', you just are and that is all. You  have transcended the one you aspire to be, as well as the one you are secretly afraid you might be. You just are and the struggle is over at this special moment.

Transcending the Yin and Yang

Imagine a ball and you slice it with a long sharp knife into many, many two dimensional circles. The yin and yang of life is contained in each circle slice. There is a sex circle, a wealth circle, the power circle, and so forth. Within each circle you will never get anywhere since the bigger the ying, the more forceful the yang is bound to be. But once you transcend these circles in a different dimension, you will leave these forces behind. Transcending means leaving behind. You use the energy of the yin versus yang to propel yourself along a different dimension. As you move forward, you leave these forces behind like an old skin. Happy slicing!
