The complete or “real” human being is considered a balanced combination of two levels of experience; this is expressed in the Taoist slogan ”being beyond the world while living in the world.” Thus to maintain contact with the higher, vaster dimension of “celestial” consciousness while at the same time living effectively in the “earthly” domain is one meaning of blending or uniting Yin and Yang.
