If this is the wrong DIR, please excuse me.
Wikipedia explains yin and yang thusly
In Judaism, I think we have a somewhat similar idea of "giver" and "receiver" as being male and female respectively. Only in a certain respect, it is dynamic,there is a chain of giver to receiver, where successive levels of receiver become the giver for the following level.. So I would say that:
The sun (yang) is a giver [of light] and the moon (yin) the receiver [of light].
Then the moon (yang) becomes the giver [of light] to us on the Earth (yin) who receives it.
Does this concept make sense to you, or is yin and yang static?
