Balance is not always even. I know this sounds like a contradiction, but it isn’t. What I am referring to is “balance in the moment.” When we look at balance over a very long period of time, it eventually seems to even out. But in the moment, it can seem very un-even. I believe this is because of the rigid restraints we put on balance. We need to let balance be more flexible. Balance can come over time instead of the moment. It can also come via different levels of the consciousness (happiness or depression) or by manifesting itself in different physical ways (health or sickness). And balance needs to more based on quality, rather than quantity. Focusing solely on quality is very limiting. So you see, balance is a very flexible thing. And when we try to force it to be otherwise, we are not letting it manifest itself correctly.
