The Seven laws of the universe
|
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.

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 natural 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.
Think of illness as only violating the laws of the
universe in our living and eating habits such as 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.
