Achieving Balance
Interesting point about balance! :)
I've been studying co-creative
Science for awhile, and they make the point that to be in balance we must have involution/evolution balance, usually represented by the Isoscoles (sp?) Triangle, with Involution being the left side going down into earth (energy grounding into form), the bottom line is experience here on earth, and Evolution the right side going back up to the Void.
Most people who are interested in spiritual development cocentrate on the right hand side, so see very little progress in manifestation, and due to nto having enough life experience, don't get very high up.
That's why the great Zen philosophers admonish people to "chop wood, carry water." Everything we need to experience magic, expansion, is right here in the mundane. :) We are meant to create, and creating is the best high there is. :)
