Minimal Balance

[Sacred Fool]

but regardless, this 'minimal balance' is presented as the touchstone for a positive seeker.

"Minimum balance, " you say?

My understanding is that this is Ra's recommendation for the 3D denizen, allow your energy system to conduct through it that which is offered, but don't get personally attached to it. I.e., cultivate emotional equipoise so that energies are not trapped in one chakra or another by means of personal dramas; through acceptance and love, simply allow it to travel through you without making an effort to control it. Where you see attractions or aversions developing, encompass these along with the opposing emotions to allow greater flow of incoming energy. In this way, one will more quickly and efficiently reach a stage of further developement whereby one can perform greater levels of service in connection with more skillful use of the higher energy centers.

Surely, the intellectual perspective is important (very heavy in this thread, I would aver), but it's the work done on the personal level (probably away from the computer, I suppose) that will really open things up so they may move along, no? [Maybe "too much talk, not enough music?"]



One other comment...for now....

I think that, by design, the chakras are inherently, naturally limiting – the mechanism whereby the Creator has the opportunity to create the individual self that seems apart from that which it experiences. But add to the chakras' naturally limiting properties, we as third-density entities use them in such a way so as to create additional filtering and biases, often to the point of entirely blocking energy flow and deepening distortion.

It is, I think, only as we balance these filters, render them transparent, activate and unblock – i.e., release unneeded content through acceptance/forgiveness - that our experience of self becomes less and less filtered and limited, until our identity merges completely into union with the One. Another way to say that we realize who we really are and always have been.

Perhaps a simpler summation would be to view the chakras as stepping stones of deepening perception and opportunity for engagement along the pathway into more encompassing levels of service? By choosing simple, but balanced stones to ford the river, we can more easily master the crossing?


PS: Regarding knowledge and the sto/sts dichotomy, seems to me that seeking knowledge of the one Creator--internal or external--was an activity favored by Ra.
