3DM, I am curious on your take of beliefs and biases within the archetypal system. Where do you feel these would lie? I am asking because you have a firmer grasp on archetypes than I. I would never argue that the archetypes aren't useful for balanced or unbalanced entities. I should also point out that balancing is a life-long journey, and it isn't accomplished within 3D existence. Rather, what I am touching at here is what emotions tell us about our balance and our chakras, and how imbalances affect the emotions we feel.
I may have misspoke concerning the absence of emotion.
When I speak of a “neutral emotional state,” I mean a vibration as close to the Creator’s as we can get. The neutral state is not void, it is what may be called “universal love.” However, to know whether the love you feel is “universal” or not takes dedicated conscious balancing.
To me, this means that the flow of emotions should be free. You should not repress certain emotions or parts of emotions to “direct” the energy, but rather experience the emotion, balance it through contemplation, and then there is only one emotion left to work with when the situation may arise again: love.
But we cannot assume love and compassion are innately balanced.
There are more Ra exchanges as well as Q'uo sessions on balancing which I would be happy to continue discussing. My belief that emotions are balancing tools...or as Zen said, the most obvious catalyst...comes from my understanding of Ra and Q'uo material.
I feel I should say it again though: Not all strive for balance. Not all take the same from Ra's words as I do. Not all put faith in Ra's words. These are my views on emotion.

Quote: 15.9 Questioner: Can you tell me a little more about the word, “balancing,” as we are using it?At the heart of every emotion is love/light, light/love, intelligent energy. It may be folly to say a balanced entity does not experience emotion; it experiences one emotion, and that is the emotion we equate with love. Our emotions are tools to bring us back to this root source.
Ra: I am Ra. Picture, if you will, the One Infinite. You have no picture. Thus, the process begins. Love creating light, becoming love/light, streams into the planetary sphere according to the electromagnetic web of points or nexi of entrance. These streamings are then available to the individual who, like the planet, is a web of electromagnetic energy fields with points or nexi of entrance.
In a balanced individual each energy center is balanced and functioning brightly and fully. The blockages of your planetary sphere cause some distortion of intelligent energy. The blockages of the mind/body/spirit complex further distort or unbalance this energy. There is one energy. It may be understood as love/light or light/love or intelligent energy.
Quote: 42.3 Questioner: Would a perfectly balanced entity feel any emotional response in being attacked by the other-self?As I said, the goal is to stand in the middle, free from distorted emotions, to perceive the situation without distortion.
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. The response is love.
42.4 Questioner: In the illusion that we now experience it is difficult to maintain this response especially if the attack results in physical pain, but I assume that this response should be maintained even through physical pain or loss of life. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct and further is of a major or principle importance in understanding, shall we say, the principle of balance. Balance is not indifference but rather the observer not blinded by any feelings of separation but rather fully imbued with love.
Quote: 42.9 Questioner: How can a person know when he is unswayed by an emotionally charged situation or if he is repressing the flow of emotions, or if he is in balance and truly unswayed?
Ra: I am Ra. We have spoken to this point. Therefore, we shall briefly iterate that to the balanced entity no situation has an emotional charge but is simply a situation like any other in which the entity may or may not observe an opportunity to be of service. The closer an entity comes to this attitude the closer an entity is to balance. You may note that it is not our recommendation that reactions to catalyst be repressed or suppressed unless such reactions would be a stumbling block not consonant with the Law of One to an other-self. It is far, far better to allow the experience to express itself in order that the entity may then make fuller use of this catalyst.
To me, this means that the flow of emotions should be free. You should not repress certain emotions or parts of emotions to “direct” the energy, but rather experience the emotion, balance it through contemplation, and then there is only one emotion left to work with when the situation may arise again: love.
But we cannot assume love and compassion are innately balanced.
Quote: 85.16 Questioner: I have a question here from (name). It states: “As we see compassion developing in ourselves is it more appropriate to balance this compassion with wisdom or to allow the compassion to develop as much as possible without being balanced”?
Ra: I am Ra. This query borders upon that type of question to which answers are unavailable due to the free-will prohibitions upon information from teach/learners.
To the student of the balancing process we may suggest that the most stringent honesty be applied. As compassion is perceived it is suggested that, in balancing, this perception be analyzed. It may take many, many essays into compassion before true universal love is the product of the attempted opening and crystallization of this all-important springboard energy center. Thus the student may discover many other components to what may seem to be all-embracing love. Each of these components may be balanced and accepted as part of the self and as transitional material as the entity’s seat of learn/teaching moves ever more clearly into the green ray.
When it is perceived that universal love has been achieved the next balancing may or may not be wisdom. If the adept is balancing manifestations it is indeed appropriate to balance universal love and wisdom. If the balancing is of mind or spirit there are many subtleties to which the adept may give careful consideration. Love and wisdom, like love and light, are not black and white, shall we say, but faces of the same coin, if you will. Therefore, it is not, in all cases, that balancing consists of a movement from compassion to wisdom.
We may suggest at all times the constant remembrance of the density from which each adept desires to move. This density learns the lessons of love. In the case of Wanderers there are half-forgotten overlays of other lessons and other densities. We shall leave these considerations with the questioner and invite observations which we shall then be most happy to respond to in what may seem to be a more effectual manner.
