The Enlightenment Cycle - Balance

Balance. Spiritual balance is the ability to be happy in spite of circumstances. Spiritual balance is the obvious answer to the obsession that sometimes accompanies religious practice, occult practice, philosophical understanding. The obsession, the assertion that one is right. That something you're doing is better than something someone else is doing. The way you're doing it is better than the way someone else does it. Spiritual balance is how you deal with opposition. Opposition outside yourself and opposition within yourself. Spiritual balance is Tai Chi. It's the center of things. It's the place where yin and yang meet, where all things come together. In chakras, it's considered the heart chakra, Anahata, the central chakra, three above, three below, which symbolizes happiness and love, psychic oneness, spiritual understanding. So, pure and simple, balance is happiness. Happiness in spiritual practice, happiness while meditating, happiness while working, while playing, in pleasure and pain, in sickness and health, in life and in death. In all circumstances, that's balance. How do you do that? How can you be balanced in a world like this. You've got to be kidding, right? Well, the world has always been this way. At least in one form or another. I mean, I'm sure in the Middle Ages and the ancient Chinese civilizations or the mystery schools of Egypt, ancient Atlantis, you pick a universe, a cosmos, it doesn't matter. There's always something going on, there is always somebody on your case. Dogs have fleas, people have each other. Please visit http://fredericklenzfoundation.org for more information.
