Great question! I used to ask this about Sattva and Tamas, which were always held to be total opposites and unmixable. I never really got this until seeing their polar functions in the Torus -- and understanding them as analogous to magnetic poles does help. Even if we see Sattva in its conventional sense as Light and Tamas as Dark, though, it really does make sense. However, it's interesting that Siva/Tamas/the Black Hole is (from the point of view outside the Torus anyhow) actually dispersing outward, rather than spiraling inward, and Vishnu/Sattva/the White Hole is spiraling inward, rather than dispersing outward... > In other words, what does that transition on the outside of the > torus, between the ultimate decay of Shiva, and the growing > pregnancy of Vishnu look like or represent? it appears to be a gap > of undifferentiated potential; Absolute stillness.
