“Awakening is a multi-modal transformation of the whole individual that advances the human condition for the benefit of all life.”
Most of the spiritual programs today, including those based on ancient lineages, focus only on one half of the human condition. The more masculine, Yang path was commonly emphasized in the premodern world religious traditions, and became central to modern theosophy and western Buddhism. More recently, in the post-modern era, there has been a necessary correction which gave rise to popular approaches based on more feminine, Yin practices and teachings. This, however, is itself becoming unbalanced as we see the denigration of the spiritual skills typically associated with Yang training. This is a distortion of the human condition and a gross misunderstanding of awakening.
Consider as just one example, the notion of embodiment which has been captured by certain movements as a specifically Yin approach. And yet, the martial arts and Daoist movement schools are also examples of deep embodiment, often attributed to Yang styles. In truth, we need both, and a truly integrated awakening means understanding, appreciating and being skillful across both modalities, leading to a greater integration and a more complete transformation.
