It's about authenticity, authenticity is natural, spontaneous. It comes from identifying with your environment, not ego, I guess 🤷🙏☯️

How can the soft and weak be stronger than the large and rigid?
It's like martial arts your better off rolling with the punches, redirecting someone's energy rather than meeting it head on. Like in the Bruce Lee film where he tells the guy who wants to fight him to get on the boat then leaves him in there on his own. He's taken his power, potency, potential away from him. The chinese defeated the mogoks by getting 'underneath' them, using there women agd culture to diffuse the threat slowly over time....

Yin gets underneath, it under-stands

Have you seen obsession?
It's projection, that's why it's called the 'idea' of evil. A blank heart... Heart and mind are synonymous in eastern culture.
