Re: What about alcohol?
Klara etal
Everything is indeed MB in that everything has a yin/yang nature. Judgement is knowing what it is that is wanted. The spirit of MB is to grow and be as full as possible. I have yet to see any constructive effect come from consuming alcohol.
Alcohol is extremely yin. When consumed, it displaces (cancells) one's inherent yin, which inturn eliminates yang due to the absence then of the required justifying yin. A centrifugal spiral is started that tends to perpetuate itself into further yinnization. Body and spirit suffer deficiency.
The opposite is equally true. Consuming extreme yang, displaces inherent yang.
Woman are more yang on the inside then men are, so the price a woman pays for taking alcohol is greater than for a man. In either case the price is not worth it.
There is a misleading notion that taking extreme yin with extreme yang (in apparent balance) is going to function to substantiate ones own fuller balance. This will serve only to cancell inherent yin and yang and function to depleat rather than fortify.
MB food is much more yin/yang neutral than typical food extremes. This allows one's own yin/yang to flourish. Happiness and health are a matter of containing one's own yin/yang. Why do we seem have a need to undermine it?
Perhaps gratitude for our selves is lacking. Gratitude is probably the one thing that one can not have too much of, even in the extreme.
