Re: The spiritual value of extremes?
There is value in everything. All things are part of the universe. One must decide if the price to be paid is worth it. What is the price of eating meat? What is the price of eating white sugar and alcohol? What is the price of speeding on the freeway?
I think everyone is searching for themselves. Having oneself is the ultimate; fewer compulsions-fewer projections-more satisfied contentment. When one eats and lives in the extremes of yin and yang it is like being a point on the circumference of a spinning wheel. There is a lot of velocity but less strength than at the slow speed of the axle center. One will experience a stronger cetrifugal force on the perimeter and it is significantly harder to slow down or hold on to the center. The yang required to balance this extreme yin is equally extreme. If one is willing to pay the price, go for it. Remember that nothing in body or spirit goes unpaid for! Also remember our mistakes are our best teacher if we survive them. Perhaps one day I could show you my collection of square wheels and scars.
