The Tao symbol symbolizes nature's law and the structure of the universe: two spirals or two magatama make up the symbol, the universe represented by either side may exist, uniform cosmic asymmetry withing space-time itself, and asymmetric polarity exists.
This thought brings about a belief that the west and east, who are finally after thousands of years, are realizing the benefits to both becoming a more cohesive whole, i.e. the West with its analytical prowess and the East with its intuitive heritage.
Both East and West can achieve greater humanity by allowing for both the analytical and the intuitive. A kind of blending of both the left and right brain hemispheres balancing things out from neither too much analytical or too much intuitive.
Yin is considered in dualistic monism as the mirror image of yang; yang is considered in dualistic monism as the mirror image of yin.
Yin-yang (analytical-intuitive), makes sense to me.
My personal "Interpretive" Lens!
"One thing has always been true: That book ... or ... that person who can give me an idea or a new slant on an old idea is my friend." - Louis L'Amour
"Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider..." - Francis Bacon
"What is true today may be reevaluated as false not long after. Judgements are frequently based upon a set of "temporary" circumstances surrounding them. Conflicting ideologies can exist simultaneously. Antagonistic dualities are complementary aspects of a unified whole: are seen as mutually dependent mirror images of each other." - Nahum Stiskin

Kenpo Gokui
A person's heart is the same as Heaven and Earth while the blood circulating is similar to the Sun and Moon yet the manner of drinking and spitting is either soft or hard while a person's unbalance is the same as a weight and the body should be able to change direction at any time as the time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself and both the eyes must see all sides as the ears must listen in all directions while the mind must grasp all the tactile, olfactory and gustation data not seen on all sides and not heard in any direction
