Yin, Yang & the 'balance' - Divine harmony

'Brahma' - the Creator or 'creative force' exists in the balance beween the poles of preservation and dissolution.
'Brahma' exists in the harmonious interchange between hot and cold, light and dark, wet and dry, masculine and feminine, as the impulse for the expression of life.
('Brahma' was born out of 'Vishnu' and not vice versa)
Brahma is the point of origin but he 'himself' is found in the fusion/ the perfect interplay of 'Vishnu' and 'Shiva'.
'Heaven' is 'Brahma' ('Akasha') and is present. We 'fall' from 'heaven' whenever we are out of balance.

(from 'Phaedrus')
