Decreases in surplus energy in a society cause populations to pressure leadership to increase supplies of surplus energy with diminishing concern for the means by which surplus energy is increased.
Fossil fuel is a useful material as a storage for surplus energy, but commonly requires an internal combustion engine in order for its energy to be controlled. It can deliver its energy quickly through explosive nature, but it is nonrenewable.
Electricity is a useful medium in the control of surplus energy, but it does not store well. It hence cannot deliver its energy as quickly as can fossil fuel. It can be renewed with wind generators, photovoltaic panels, and sterling engines, among other technologies that harness energy from the tides and geological heat.
Civilizations, as marked by the presence of surplus energy, are macrocosms to the individual human microcosm.
The science of harnessing and controlling surplus energy for the individual microcosm is termed yoga. It is the responsibility of macrocosmic societies to make surplus energy available to individuals so that they may have the opportunity to apply the science of yoga in their lives. Through the proper application of the science of yoga, individuals self-civilize.
The long and short term capacities of a society or a broader civilization to harness and control energy is a direct function of the degree to which its microcosmic individual members understand and apply the science of yoga. With increased prevalence of the proper application of the science of yoga, societal taxes on surplus energy decrease.
By decreasing societal taxes on surplus energy, individual taxes on surplus energy likewise decrease.
Individual taxes on surplus energy mirror societal taxes. Individuals, whether practicing yoga or not, in any given society are susceptible to the societal taxes on surplus energy and must contend with them, spending surplus energy in the process.
Societal pollution increases toxicity in the human body. Sickness, disease, and continual assaults on the immune system exact a steady tax on the human body.
improper diet, defined as the ingestion of foods with high waste content, serve as a tax on the individual's surplus energy. Foods that are low in nutrients also cause a heavy tax on the human body.
Human beings are naturally drawn toward sugar, oil, and salt. The natural diet of human beings includes fruit, nuts, and small amounts of animal flesh. Infants ingest breast milk. Leaves, barks, and roots serve as medicines.
The agricultural revolution, wherein humans began eating rows and rows of vegetables, decreased the surplus energy in society and in the human being by increasing waste in the form of fiber and roughage. Enormous amounts of surplus energy gleaned from fossil fuels were then spent on farms to provide food produce on a scale never seen before in the evolution of human beings.
Materialism taxes the human mind by creating the habit of possession seeking. Surplus energy, usually acquired by one's labor, is then spent to feed this habit. Free time is devoured by materialism and diminished amounts of surplus energy are placed in the service of society. The capacity to self-sacrifice is gradually obliterated.
Obesity can be defined as that number and more of cells in the microcosmic body that serve no function by way of the progress of the human being in the expansion of the sense of self. These excess cells require a tremendous amount of energy for their maintenance, both in the way of food and in the way of maintaining their hygiene through breathing. Heavier breathing is a limit in the practice of yoga as it requires a great deal of surplus energy and keeps the heart working constantly to purify venous blood. Obesity creates a narrow body identity, limiting the capacity to self-sacrifice. It is difficult to impossible to place one's surplus energies in the service of society when they are required to serve the survival needs of millions of excess cells.
Just as overpopulation diminishes the lifespan of a society or ongoing civilization in a particular form, obesity diminishes the lifespan of the obese individual. As the tax on the breath is decreased, the lifespan of the individual increases, as more breaths are then possible.
The human microcosm is ground zero when measuring the waste of surplus energy caused by divisive belief systems and their corresponding guilt.
