I hope I'm not shooting over anyones head here!

The most immidiate manifestation of yin/yang, that forms each of us as individuals, is our mother and father. Both impart unique qualities and properties that contribute to the whole of what we are. When one or the other, or in combination are out of sync or balance in relation to us and each other, we are compelled to pursue the direction toward that diffiency, in an attemp to re-balance. My own observations suggest this is the root of compulsions and indulgences. They can be either artificial compensations for a particular yin/yang (yinization) or a sincere attempt to remediate an imbalance (yangization). Being fallable human beings doesn't make this an easy jouney.

The mother and father factor, I think is the key to making this food/understanding work with the potency with which it is capable. It is no accident or whim that states we should honor our mothers and fathers. They are after all what we are made of. Understanding the inplication of mother/father relatedness surely takes this food beyond the mechanical, sensual and sentimental level of judgement and establishes a concrete point of referrence by which we can make objective judgements about our own balances. One can get nowhere unless we start from where we are.

This food does not support or nourish illusion or deception and is therefore an incredibale tool to aid in self reflection. When we are confronted with our own need for indulgence it is a reflection on us that we are missing something. Find what is missing and the indulgence disipates. One can mechanically look to see what is missing from the food, but a deeper search would be to explore mother/father relatedness.

If what I say is not clear, let me know----I can always use the reflection!
