1. Partiality
2. Fluidity
3. Emptiness
**Partiality** is the compartmentalized man. You have lots of extremes and you are trying lots of different things. [[Bruce Lee]]’s symbol for this stage was the two halves of the yin yang, separate, not touching, and without the circle in each half. He called it the running to extremes.
**Fluidity** is when you can take what happens as it comes. [[Bruce Lee]] called this two halves of one whole and his symbol was the complete yin yang with two arrows going around the yin yang. This symbolized that these two halves are always relating, we’re always in a place of totality.
The third stage of cultivation is **Emptiness** which [[Bruce Lee]] called the formless form. This is when you exist in a stage of natural response and you let go of all technique.
