Quotes About Balance

Tales and images transcend duality.

Like steps of a staircase, and notes on a piano, each part MUST be present for the whole to function properly. Just because one plane vibrates at a lower frequency than another plane, the former is not inferior to the latter. Bass tones vibrate at a lower frequency than treble tones, yet both tones are essential to the total effect of the music.

Consider an ordinary flashlight battery. Look at or visualize one. Can you imagine if the battery only had a positive end, but not a negative end? What good would it be if it had only a positive pole, but not a negative pole? It wouldn't be functional. It wouldn't work. It wouldn't even be a battery. Most importantly of all, from a magickal point of view, it wouldn't be charged!

In balancing each desired goal with the contradiction contained therein, we cause our thought to be re-born at the very point from which all creation manifests.

Therefore to sum up, when we only visualize the positive, we neglect the occult fact that eventually the universe will pull the pendulum in the opposite direction, thereby taking away our goal, unless we do something to counteract the opposing force! The solution is not to wage war upon the Opposing Force, not to exorcise it, banish it, or resist it, but to encounter it, and to find a way to integrate it into ourselves.

Mistakenly, many people confuse duality with polarity. In spiritual growth it is important to focus on polarity. Polarity can be viewed as complimentary forces that work together to create balance, on the other hand, duality is the belief in opposing forces that conflict with each other and create chaos. Your goal is to establish a balance between the two poles.

Life is one aspect of death and death is one aspect of life.

Death and Life are merely two sides of the same coin.

The human brain literally became able to draw down the fire from heaven, in other words, to snatch a portion of Divine energy. This Divine energy had existed since the time when the Divinity convulsed in the cosmic orgasm call the big bang. The 'fluids' released in this energetic discharge were able to balance, or neutralize, the charge between heaven and earth.

The universe flows in two directions simultaneously.

Transcend the opposites of death and life; find the Point of Singularity in which the two become One. Know that birth and death are the crest and trough of One Wave.

The way to become a REALIZED person does not so much lie in doing good things, which of course we all should do, but in coming to some kind of understanding with the Dark, with the Shadow.

It is dangerous to attempt to live all the levels of your humanity while totally immersed in spiritual ecstasy. One does not drive a car while drunk, nor should one propose marriage to a woman in bed with you whom you just met, while feeling at one with all humanity.

There is a rhythmic interchange between positive and negative. The high becomes low, the low becomes high. Everything is exchanging with its opposite to create a state of equilibrium. Each must become the other to achieve balance. The discharged must become charged, and the charged must become discharged. The universe always wants to be balanced, and in a state of equilibrium.

The resulting materialization of balanced visualization is often neither the initial desire nor the contradiction contained within, but instead a surpassing of the two.

When we balance each thought with the opposite contained within it, we cause our wish to be implanted within the divine fertile matrix.

The great error of the Catholic Church, the Protestant, Christian and Evangelical churches is that they preach a Christos devoid of his consort: Sophia. These churches are teaching an unbalanced representation of the Divine Emanation. This 'imbalance' is evidence of the activity of the Archons working inside the churches.

Go beyond the duality of believing in God and the Devil.

This divine matrix exists at the junction of the twofold movements. At this junction there are no opposites. Our wish manifests as a reverberation of the apex of the movement. This insures that the pendulum of polarity will not swing away from us and thereby take away our manifestation, for the idea behind the manifestation will be anchored in non-duality, and balanced on both points of the triangle.

Transcend the opposites of death and life, find the Point of Singularity in which the two become One.

Another problem with repressing bad feelings is that you thereby shut off the good feelings too! When you block yourself from pain, you block yourself from pleasure.
