I'm on the road, in search of food — food for my body, food for my mind, food for my soul. I dedicate this blog to peanut butter, my best friend. Food is what we're all about. Cheers!

SEVEN LAWS

George Ohsawa wrote about seven universal principles or laws that create the "Order of the Universe." These laws describe the relative, finite world and its relationship to the Infinite world ("oneness").

Seven Governing Laws of the Universe:

1. That which has a face, has a back.

2. That which has a beginning, has an end.

3. There is nothing identical in the universe.

4. The bigger the face, the bigger the back.

5. All antagonisms are complementary.

6. All antagonisms can be classified in two categories — yin and yang — and they are complementary.

7. Yin and yang are the two arms (or poles) of Infinity, Absolute Oneness, God, or the Infinite Pure Expansion.
