An awareness of these cycles can help us look and understand the events that unfold around us. This is equally true in nature as it is in our society or politics.
The problem with the natural swinging pendulum of these cycles is that the correction from one extreme to another, it can knock you over and create problems.

Later Taoism became a coherent philosophy - a gorgeous way to understand how the world works. Later the Taoists salted their philosophy with myths, legends, and stories to help people understand our place in this world. This greatly broadened the appeal of Taoism. In this talk, Yunrou discusses how stories in Taoism and other religions can present a challenge. Do you accept them as literal truth or take them as allegory? Listen in and see what you think.

Sometimes a child is discovered to be the next Dalai or Panchen lama because he recognizes a favored food he used to love (in a previous life) or particular amulet, garment, or song. We Taoists don’t have this exact tradition; our world is a bit more chaotic and complex, features an ongoing and dynamic rebalancing of yin and yang and lots of open questions about what happens after we die.
