March 25, 2012 "Are You Addicted?"
Sixty percent of psychotropic drugs worldwide are consumed in the United States. Millions of people suffer from addictions to prescription drugs, alcohol, street drugs and pain killers. Food addictions are common and lead to the overeating of empty junk foods, excessive amounts of meat, other high protein foods, sugar, dairy products, excess salt and fats, and stimulants like coffee. Obsessions in adults have been related to attention deficit disorder, stuck thoughts and repeating negative emotions. In modern society these are so common as to be considered normal. New scientific breakthroughs in brain science explain how modern lifestyles and diets are causing the tragedies of our addictions, obsessions and cravings. Traditional oriental medicine understood these problems from other view points. John will give you insights from both views.

Alicia Silverstone Is Not 'Clueless' About Health
Talks about Macrobiotic Life Style."How can arrogance be cured?" by Michio Kushi
How can arrogance be cured? To cure it, one should experience it. Whoever says "I am not arrogant" is arrogant; whoever says "I am arrogant" is not. If you try to attack and accuse an arrogant person in order to make him change, you will fail.
The best way is simply to let him enjoy his arrogance to the full. This might cause him to lose his life, or to be destroyed, or to meet great misery, or to make enemies. This is the greatest trial. When a mother, or a teacher, or religion, says "Don't do this, don't do that," it causes unhappiness and never solves anything.
Moses said "Don't" ten times and his commandments have never made anybody happier or higher. You should give unconditional freedom to others; there is only one thing which must done according to the Order of the Universe, everyone must have absolute freedom. By the accurate, eternal and perfect laws of Infinity, some will pass the test, and others will be destroyed. They will be destroyed by their arrogance, without the need of your intervention.
Michio Kushi (from the forthcoming re-release of the Order Of The Universe Booklet - "Expanding Pathways" - from lectures of Michio Kushi in 1966.
