**** ~~~~~ ****
A couple of weeks before this all started I had been the pope of evil - I'd just gotten the post a few weeks earlier, out of all the other tele-evangelists in the demon world, I was picked, based on my ability to understand evil and explain it to the human world. I took the post but left a few weeks later, couldn't handle the karmic load.
But on November 1st, the Day of the Dead, I found myself in a classroom so I went up to the whiteboard, drew this symbol, and declared that, as the pope of evil, on the Mexican "dia de los muertos" (when the dead get to walk the earth, making a minority of the living by about three to one); I was going to honor the Aztec dead by taking their Nahual religion's concept of the 75/25 % universe - (the highest god Ometeotl, or Mr. and Mrs. two, had four kids, who basically became the four corners of the universe. Three of the four were different kinds of "Tezcatlipoca" - the hungry chief who plucked the flowers in paradise. One of the four was "Quetzalcoatl" - spiritual and philosophical in outlook, bringing literature and communication abilities, cultural wonder) - and integrate it with the Taoist yin yang symbol, 'cause those Taoists are on to something with the yin yang imagery, two parts of the whole moving into each other all the time, like the concept of the Yin Fu, 3000 year old document - Fu is a seal, divided into two parts; one half of the seal is the world of visible phenomena, the other half bearing the seal of heaven and the unseen world. In the Yin Fu the two sides of the seal are brought together - seen and unseen fitting together in revealing ways, two pieces of a coin fitting together expertly and working together for the cultivation of perfection, everybody seems to get that intuitively, but everybody also intuitively knows that the 50-50 percentages of the traditional yin yang symbol are nonrealistic, not even idealistic, just simplistic.
The Aztec world presents us with a universe that is 75/25 in its darkness to light ratio, and the dark and light characters who all hold the "great mirror wisdom" (one of the four kinds of Buddhist wisdom) are able to recognize this reciprocal nature's proportionality and plan their moves accordingly, working together for the good of humanity.
Modern day astrophysics presents something similar, a universe of baryonic atoms or “light" that makes up only about 25 % of the true whole, the other 75% of the universe a “dark matter" that is unseen but has its effects in the workings of the 25 % baryonic part of the universe - galaxies held together into vast web-like structures.
Modern astrophysics maps the known universe out to about z=6 in red shift space, so they give us levels - there's outer space and then, farther away, there's redshift space, at z=0.5, z=1, z=2, etc., up to z=6 - deeper and deeper shades of red-shifted - and there's very little we can see way out there at the farthest end of the observable universe, the very early universe, before that there may not have been much light at all, just mist, before the "period of re-ionization", when the first stars lit up - a helium / hydrogen mist that we all really are when we aren't under this kind of honeycomb pressure.
Aztec Nahual religion gave us a similar vision of the universe - there were different color heavens, out to a ninth heaven way out there, I think the last two heavens out were only for Mr. and Mrs. two, when they wanted to sleep in separate heavens, while places like the first and second heaven were for things like the sun and the moon.
And the Taoist vision of the different levels of heaven takes it farther, with bureaucracies to manage each level, but another very similar vision.
One symbol that would unite the three visions then, of Daoist tradition, along with the almost lost Nahual religion, and the burgeoning new space-telescope science's vision of deep redshift space, might be a yin yang symbol with more of a lopsided black-to-white ratio, more like 75/25 than 50/50.
In just the last few years in modern astrophysics we've seen that we have to reconcile an unmistakable "dark flow" into our vision of the universe's nature and dynamics, a "mystery flow" of the entire universe, over toward one corner; turns out everything isn't just expanding outward in every direction, but rather there is a general slide of the whole "Hubble flow" down toward one corner of the observable universe, termed "dark flow" cause we haven't even begun to speculate on the forces that would cause such a universe- wide flow phenomenon, but the 75/25 yin-yang balance would kind of explain that, the lopsided flow that I think also explains the science mystery of "handedness" - how not only are the majority of us right handed but the phenomenon of "handedness" or biology preferring one direction over another like that, is common right down to the molecules floating in space, everything leaning in one direction - the "75-25 flow"?
And in this design of the symbol, you can also look at it as the eukaryotic eye, "window into the soul" that leads straight down that tube to the dark "other", a pupil that is a fundamental gateway to the dark yang reservoir.
In the symbol one might also intimate a brain, made of yin and separated into hemispheres but a streak of yang - a streak that on further analysis is connected directly to a reservoir of nothingness that outweighs the yin at a ratio of 3-to-1, at the cosmological moment that we young elements are so auspiciously granted to be standing capable in.
And after deciding on this symbol, the night I saw the 1/4 moon I realized that was another representation of the same thing, nature's version. Universe had a good point too, that it's just one phase of a moon that goes through alot of other phases, the yin yang ratio isn't a static thing. Point taken, but there's still an undeniable synchronistic feeling I get when I see that one quarter moon up there, just feels "right".
