Balance, and the Adept

[unity100]

Inner balance, and what it means to the adept.

My first point I would like to share is that inner balance does not necessarily mean that all of your chakras are completely unblocked...

that may be so. since almost a lot of people are quite comfortable and 'balanced' when they are in solitude, meditating. but, when they go out to interact with the other entities, things change.

the balanced is in quotes in above, because, it is also easily suggestible that the balance of an entity is actually the balance it manifests at any given time, so, in interactions with other entities we can see the extent of that balance, as an indicator. it is easy to remain in a seemingly greater balance when in solitude.

but there are also societal considerations. the conditions the entity is in, living in, or going through, may have factors that offset its balance. especially in our modern society, and especially in cities.

Next point...the influences that we are not aware of, and how much impact they have upon our magical workings, as well as our day to day life. The impact of the outside world becomes negligible it seems, the closer you come to true inner balance.

when in solitude, yes. however, we know of no significant adept/wanderer/philosopher which chose to live in the middle of city, and manifested various faculties there.

so, apparently the conditions the entity is in, affects a lot. there is only so much an entity can offset with its own balance, and will. basically, you cannot drink the entire sea, or sweep away an entire desert.
