Historical source of the balancing exercises?

All that you have listed is part of the Western Mystery Tradition. You have correctly understood that the teachings of Ra are also part of this Tradition.

Dion Fortune, Walter Butler, Gareth Knight, Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki. You will be surprised how much the work of these authors is in tune with the Materials of Ra.

And of course, these authors drew their inspiration not only from channeling, like D. Fortune's "Cosmic Doctrine" and E. Blavatsky's "Secret Doctrine", but also from joint ritual work. The founders of the Golden Dawn were both Rosicrucians and Freemasons .

Yes, I'm familiar in general with the esoteric tradition but wanted to know where specifically the balancing exercises came from. It's one of the things that has been really useful. Ra as I understand it, always worked with concepts the group was already familiar with. The Ra material has led me down blind alleys though, so I like to look at what the group looked at. Of course any wandering down blind alleys are shared distortions. No worries there
