Unio Mystica: Yin-Yang 0+0=1

Unio Mystica: 0+0=1.
~ Art by A.Void.

When two zeros
jump into each other,
they melt and merge into One.

Questions for Introspection, Reflection & Meditation

  1. Why are yin and yang part of the mystical equation?

  2. How can 0+0 equal 1 and not 0?

  3. What does it mean to be zero? How does it relate to yin and yang?

  4. Is the goal in spirituality to be zero or to be one? Or both? e.g. empty of all, I am like zero, but I am one with consciousness?

  5. The concept of zero comes from the Yogic tradition. Can a zero also mean center and periphery, and the more I am aligned, the closer to the center I get? How does it relate to yin and yang? Does it mean I need to go to the center and achieve balance in the zero of yin and the zero of yang?

  6. Balance was the master key according to Buddha. Is this the same here, that being none and union with one, balance is achieved?

  7. Unio mystica means mystic union. Is there really a fusion or union that takes place when the experience of enlightenment occurs, or is enlightenment already the case? That is, if we are already enligthened (we are souls), then there is nothing to achieve? Is that why samsara or the wheel of life is like a cosmic joke, or perhaps a terrible nightmare?
