Likewise. :) How 'rya doing lately?

Nope. Yang and Yin are the Chinese approximations for that, which the
Hindus call the gunas - the qualities of Nature. However, I am using
the completely different imagery, that could be compared with
electricity and lack thereof. If we compare God with electricity, and
the world with a city full of electric appliances, God is present
everywhere, in form of potential - electricity is here to be
manifested. However, it is not everywhere that it actually _is_
manifested. In some parts of the city, everything is well
illuminated, but in some places, there is darkness. If God is
electricity, the Divine manifestation, in my imagery, would be when
the lightbulbs produce light and radiate it into the world. That
would be called good. When the lightbulbs are intentionally not
installed or not replaced, just because someone favors darkness, it
would be called evil, or hindrance of the Divine manifestation. It is
just an analogy, you can make up another one, with a person who
intentionally keeps the windows closed in order to keep the light out
and the stale air in.

If you really want to know what I mean with nothingness, then imagine
the thing usually called "the dark night of the soul", the state of
extremely deep depression, despair, hopelessness, fear, anxiety,
terror and a complete lack of all things positive. It is not a
neutral thing, it is a completely negative thing.
If you, in a state of extreme depression, manage to see it as God,
then you deserve some sort of a prize for achieving the impossible.
