Here you go. I got you the saucy ones.

The symbol is symmetric but good and 'evil' aren't.Lao Tsu wrote:
When people see some things as beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,
other things become bad.
Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.
Therefore the Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn't possess,
acts but doesn't expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.
Secondly, in Taoism this symbol is used to represent the universe as a whole. They make the classic mistake of projecting mankind on to the cosmos.
There is no anthropomorophism in Taoism.
I would need another circle for the universe. A blank one, not even white, with no boundry.

I have never been able to see her do anything but go clockwise. I can't imagine how it could be the other way. If I were to imagine the person and not the silhouette that is how I would imagine the person creating that silhouette would be turning.
Animavore wrote:That's interesting. As I checked over my post above I could only see her legs from above the knee and they were going to other way. Anti-clockwise. I tried keep it that way as I scrolled slowly up and lost it once I reached the hips.
The silhouette looks, to me, the way I'd expect it to look with a person going clockwise.

Well yes. There is no overt anthropomorphism but the diagram highlights the point. It has created a universe of opposites. This just seems a human way of looking at it.

It's also the scientific way of looking at it. The same pattern appears throughout nature, especially physics. How can something come from nothing? The best answer science can give involves particles and anti-particles appearing out of nowhere. And that's just one example of many.

I think lobawad's challenge is a bit disingenuous, but works as a kind of object-lesson. I've always really liked that animation, but I don't know exactly why. I like the colours and the sinusoidal repetition, but I'm not about to hypnotise myself with it.
It's a two-dimensional simulation of, among other things, the way opaque solid objects eclipse each other in three dimensions, but it depends on that (and a specified angle to the illumination of the objects) to look cool. Basic facts for draughtsmen.
