Emotions and Balance

[Bring4th_Austin]

See there? Those things feel good, do they? It must give you a feeling of accomplishment and emotional lift to have grown and learned?

I think to pretend we don't want to feel in order to feel a sense that we are balanced is not what Ra was getting at. Neither do I read the words of Ra as ever suggesting we try to achieve a balanced state.

I don't believe that contentment and calmness are what Ra was talking about when they say "emotional charge," which are the only things I feel having done those things. Emotional lift when a blockages is removed, maybe, but not accomplishment or anything. If content were in the middle of the emotional spectrum, any time I feel anything on either side of it I strive to understand and balance that state.

I also don't think it's about "not wanting to feel" either. Of course Ra never wanted to suggest that balance is something we SHOULD do - I don't think they'd ever say we should or shouldn't do anything - but they did describe HOW to balance, and the benefits of striving for balance. Balance plays a key role in polarization and harvest, but if you don't feel like it's something you want to do then just don't. But maybe contemplating why you don't wish to achieve a balanced state is catalyst you may be able to use.
