Grain-eaters develop a completely opposite way of thinking based on cooperation. Meat-eating also leads to a more nomadic lifestyle, following the herd, and we tend to become unsettled, rather than stable or settled down. Grain-eating agricultural life is more stable, more settled. When the men are off hunting all season, or if the entire village has to constantly be on the move, it is difficult to maintain stability. Macrobiotic living strengthens our community and family life.
People naturally desire to help and support each other.
Through macrobiotics, you become friends with everyone. As we continue to eat this way, our concept of family expands to include all of humanity. We reconnect with our human family on planet earth. Macrobiotic living can also help us gain spiritual understanding. These conditions make if very difficult to enter into deep, tranquil, and peaceful meditation.
