For action and reaction are equal and opposite. From heaven to earth there hangs a pendulum, and he who pushes the pendulum must suffer the swing back until the disturbed equilibrium is restored.

Seven laws of the universe

There are seven simple laws which rule our world of phenomena. George Ohsawa summarizes these laws as follows:

1. That which has a beginning has an end

In this relative world, there exists nothing that begins without an end. Life begins with birth and ends with death. What might begin as a tragedy might end in a triumph and vice versa. The most learned man could prove to be the stupidest. Remember Faustus?

2. There is always a front to a back

There is always a front to the back. The two are opposite but complement each other, without one the other can not exist. What is good for me might be bad for you. Better yet, what is good for me today, might be bad for me tomorrow. The industrial revolution has increased wealth, but it has also increased degenerative diseases. The increase in incurable degenerative diseases has increased the call among people to return to a simpler lifestyle and against the use of chemicals and industrial poisons. Beauty does not mean a thing without understanding and experiencing ugliness. Love exists only where there exists much hate. Freedom is understood only by those who have experienced slavery.

3. The greater the front, the greater the back

This is called the law of balance. Extremism in one side gives rise to extremism in the opposite direction and of the same magnitude. The rudest person on the outside, might be the most emotional and most vulnerable on the inside. The more advanced modern medicine gets, the bigger the hospitals-because the more incurable and degenerative diseases.

4. There exists nothing identical to anything else

Everything is unique in this world. Just like our fingerprints. Mountains, rivers, people, animals and all. There are no two exactly alike. Even identical twins are a little different.

5. Phenomena is the result of imbalance. Equilibrium is balance

Contractive and expansive forces (yin and yang) appear to us as heat and cold, light and dark, acid and alkaline, positive and negative, male and female. Every phenomenon in this world is nothing but an interaction or oscillation between these two forces in search of a stable medium.

6. Energy polarizes into two poles. Yin and yang

Before any natural phenomenon appears, energy has to polarize in two poles. There can be no electricity without positive and negative poles. Positive and negative or high and low or male and female, etc. Then the interaction between these two poles results in phenomenon.

7. The infinite is balance

When the two poles of energy interact with each other then results a stable equilibrium and phenomenon subsides. Just like thunder. First, the two positive and negative poles increase in polarity and charge, then after thunder a stable equilibrium results.

When we think of illness as only violating the laws of the universe in our living and eating habits. For example, eating much extreme foods like animal products and sugar (two opposing poles), then curing illness is only restoring harmony and balance to our bodies. In this context, there are no incurable diseases. There are only toxins to remove from the body in order to regain health.
