They really are Yin and Yang. Made to fit.

Yin & Yang Swans by Alan Schaller

They are polar opposites and yet...🖤🤍

Dan: Phil Trash #1, literally, knows everything about him, can wax poetic for hours, probably.

Phil: no thoughts, head empty. doesn’t know Dan’s quote, doesn’t know Dan’s green room request. just happy to be involved. 😀

David: They are the yin to each other's yang.

Michael: They are. I like my yang, but I like it better when your yin is next to it.

YOU KNOW YIN AND YANG?

WELL.

There you go.

Dear Neil. I am happy to report there is at least one other ancient photo of us from around 1991.

I've been asked if I ever wore glasses like Thessaly's, and I've said no. But there it is. Right in front of me. Thessaly's glasses.

Man, the things we forget. Like, glasses.

As the legend tells, never believe men’s words, watch their actions and you will know everything.

Men will swear up and down that they won’t participate in ‘simp’ behavior yet the moment they find the girl they adore, all that goes out the window and they become natural providers and protecters who will willingly dote on and adore their partner. It’s literally in a their nature to be providers and care for women. It makes no difference how much they reject it or disown it in speech, it is the natural role they’ll eventually take.

12 Laws of the Universe:

1. law of divine oneness. everything is connected. everything in the universe is an extension of source energy, which means that on a spiritual level, nothing is separate.

2. law of vibration. everything is made of energy, and energy vibrates at a specific frequency.

3. law of correspondence. your external reality is a direct reflection of your internal state. this law can help you assess the alignment of your vibration.

4. law of attraction. your energy is constantly attracting its vibrational match.

5. law of inspired action. inspiration will come once you are aligned with who you are- an extension of source.

6. law of perpetual transmutation of energy. energy is constantly evolving and fluctuating.

7. law of cause and effect. where your focus goes energy flows. our thoughts is the cause, and our experiences are the effect.

8. law of compensation. you get what you give, you reap what you sow. what you withhold from others will be withheld from you.

9. law of relativity. everything is relative because we all perceive reality in our own way.

10. law of polarity. everything has an opposite. or every problem, there’s a solution. for every right, there’s a left.

11. law of rhythm. like the four seasons, everything in life has a cycle.

12. law of gender. when both your masculine and feminine energies are in alignment.

Fox Spirit

In ancient China, the most widely known of the seductive spirits were the "Fox Spirits" who were believed to live high in the misty mountains. The Fox Spirits could take on a human form by transforming themselves through the aid of human bones (especially the skull). Foxes are associated with Yin and the Earth Element. They are associated with deceit, trickery, slyness, cunning, and craftiness. Documents dating back to the dawn of China's civilization identify the fox as a demonic creature, upon whose back spirit entities often ride. According to the famous Daoist scholar Ji Yun:

"Humans and things are different species, and foxes lie in-between humans and things; darkness and light take different paths, and foxes lie in-between darkness and light; gods and demons follow different ways; and foxes lie in-between gods and demons."

Both anthropologists and historians have emphasized the significance of the betwixt and between for the study of culture. Mary Douglas, for example, gives special importance to boundary-crossing animals and spirits in assuring social and moral order. She argues that in a given society, what is perceived to be ambiguous and marginal tends to be regarded as ritually unclean, hence defiling established principles. The marginality of such beings discharges both danger and power to the dominant patterns of the existing social structure. Victor Turner further elaborates the symbolism of marginality and ritual. He contends that rituals are organized around certain key symbols that simultaneously encompass many different meanings. Only by relating the ritual symbols to social experience can one decipher their multivocality. Turner also develops the concept of liminality:

"Liminal entities are neither here nor there; they are betwixt and between the positions assigned and arrayed by law, custom, convention, and ceremonial. As such, their ambiguous and indeterminate attributes are expressed by a rich variety of symbols in the many societies that ritualize social and cultural transitions. Thus, liminality is frequently likened to death, to being in the womb, to invisibility, to darkness, to bisexuality, to the wilderness, and to an eclipse of the sun or moon."

In other words, the betwixt and between represents a liminal phase, an ambiguous and paradoxical stage of being neither this nor that—or being both. It is a ritual stage that allows people to change from one state to another, and thereby to reorder the world and to gain new power to deal with life. Liminal situations and roles tend to be conceived as “dangerous, inauspicious, or polluting to persons, objects, events, and relationships that have not been incorporated into the liminal context.” In popular culture and folk literature, they are likened to marginal groups, such as shamans, mediums, magicians, and jesters, who usually come from the bottom of society yet are endowed with the ritual power of the weak to reverse established social structures and express cultural oppositions.

An encounter with a Fox Spirit could either be considered positive or deadly, depending on the type of interaction, and temperament of the spirit entity. For example, the victim could end up either having intercourse with a demonic vampire, or having a romantic interlude that ended up in marriage. Because Fox Spirits could either appear as men or women, and transform themselves into the images of individuals who are sometimes young or old, each interaction was uncertain. Historically, Fox Spirits could sometimes act like malevolent ghosts, haunting and bewitching people, causing sickness and even death. Other times, they could assume the positive role of a benevolent loving spouse, or act live a compassionate Ancestral Spirit, granting an individual health, wealth, and fame. Therefore, in relationship to humans, an interaction with a Fox Spirit could either be benevolent or vindictive, according to the treatment that the fox received. For example, one of the positive attributes associated with magical Fox Spirits, is that they retain the knowledge of hidden or buried treasure. They could either use these riches for their own personal gain, or they could reveal these treasures to their human friends.

The Fox Spirit does not have the power to change its tail. This often leads to its discovery. An ancient saying states:

"Talk of demons and they will appear; talk of a Fox Spirit and his tail will be seen."
