I think there's a disparity here (and on the forums in general) in what people mean by "balanced".
Some people use it terms of feeling "centered" (including all that weird energy talk) or whatever but some people here use it to describe acceptance and integration of aspects of the self (encountering catalyst and evaluating experience), reaching towards psychic equilibrium and balance in that regard.
Meditation (and afaik any purely mental practice) alone does not "balance" you in the sense that Ra is talking about, it's not some wonder practice that turns you into a super being with wisdom beyond the reach of mere mortals. The act of contemplation is complimentary to experience, don't forget we're human, just live your life and learn from it.
meditation isn't a cheat code.
