The Mind Portal...The Yin and Yang of it!

[Jozen-Bo]

Hello!

I wanted to open this thread for several reasons regarding something called the Mind Portal. It is a time map for mapping the patterns of one's activities, though it can easily be used for other things as well. Before I can continue, I think a picture will help:

(This is a Macrobiotic Time Map amongst other things!)

These 2 pictures show the map and its proportions. They are calendars for keeping track of anything one chooses (and yes, this map was developed by a child of Macrobiotics! This makes it a Macrobiotic Map (amongst other things), a product of one who was raised on and thoroughly understands the values of Macrobiotics!)). Because this is shaped into a spiral, one can spin it and watch the information turn into a tunnel. I know from studying macrobiotics that the topic of spirals comes up many times, which is very cool! My mother, who taught me macrobiotics was discussing this with me and mentioned that when this map is spun so that the lines appear to be expanding, the eyes are absorbing Yin Energy, and when it spins so that they appear to be contracting, the eyes absorb Yang Energy (everything that we see is electromagnetic energy- light communicates what is seen by going into our eyes).


I thought I might add one other picture, which balances (white (Yang) and black (Yin))the light energies without relying on a code, spinning one way or another will influence the mind and how it feels, as well I have observed that one can begin to see energy after several days (if not less) of using this:

Off course this isn't the same as eating Yin and Yang foods and trying to balance the energy within the body, but it does have an affect on the mind, and I suspect that it can be used to influence the Yin or Yang energies within the brain to help maintain balance. I spin it both ways, to keep my mind balanced. I thought this would be a good topic to discuss here; but another reason why I brought this here is that I want to develop a code that is easy to follow and shows me my eating patterns and other valuable information about my health, so I thought this would be the best place to start when trying to gather ideas and a good outlook for such a code. Before going into the code; I would like to note all the possible things one should watch out (in my opinion) for to make the code worth while. So I will begin and if I miss anything, could you please bring this to my attention?

Things to keep track of (and encode):
-Yin foods and Yang foods
-Eating orders and patterns
-Liquids and solids
-Symptoms on face and body
-Feeling, amount of energy
-Mood
-Breathing (shallow or deep?)
-Dreams


This is what I have so far, is this enough? Did I miss anything? I really appreciate your help on this, as I will use this code to help me keep better track of my eating habits and planning. If anyone has any questions, interest in this work (and would like a free PDF for printing out a map), comments, insights, or inquiries I would appreciate you posting them so very much! Also, if anyone would like to be a part of this project, you are more then welcome to participate and be a part of this, however you like and in whatever way is comfortable for you!

Thanks!

In Earnest Sincerity,
