When does acceptance become balancing?

Acceptance is the precursor.

As I understood it, "balancing" is an active, conscious process.

Couple quotes:

---

(41.17)
Ra:
(...)
The key to balance may then be seen in the unstudied, spontaneous, and
honest response of entities toward experiences, thus using experience to the
utmost, then applying the balancing exercises and achieving the proper
attitude for the most purified spectrum of energy center manifestation in
violet ray. This is why the brilliance or rotational speed of the energy centers
is not considered above the balanced aspect or violet ray manifestation of an
entity in regarding harvestability; for those entities which are unbalanced,
especially as to the primary rays, will not be capable of sustaining the impact
of the love and light of intelligent infinity to the extent necessary for
harvest.

(61.11)
Questioner: The last question here says that it would seem the proper
balancing exercises for all the sensations of the body would be some sort of
inactivity such as meditation or contemplation. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is largely incorrect. The balancing requires a meditative
state in order for the work to be done. However, the balancing of sensation
has to do with an analysis of the sensation with especial respect to any
unbalanced leaning between the love and the wisdom or the positive and
the negative. Then whatever is lacking in the balanced sensation is, as in all
balancing, allowed to come into the being after the sensation is remembered
and recalled in such detail as to overwhelm the senses.

(85.16)
Ra:
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.

Same goes for "balancing the energy centers". It is conscious act of Will.

Futhermore I was refering to true acceptance which in my opinion may not be achieved when an Entity in unbalanced. In such state any "achievement" in field of acceptance is unsteady/wavering/fragile. Its almost as One could not sustain acceptance due to personal imbalances.
As I understand it, more an Entity is balanced, the deeper and more stable acceptance is possible.

When does acceptance become balancing?

Acceptance and balance are synonymous.

So pretty much..........immediately.

[Plenum]

I guess it depends on what you mean by 'balance' Matt

I've often found that apart from the literal meaning of words that we have, quite often we have a mental picture or some sort of ideal that is associated with many words, especiallly metaphysical ones.

unearthing those 'image associations' can often tell you quite a lot about what one is aiming for, in a lot of times, in a subconscious way through desires.

When does acceptance become balancing?

I would say the one follows the other naturally/spontainiously. Its like asking when does touch become feeling? The very act of acceptance/allowing will balance/bring equanimity. When one accepts with non-judgement, there is no right or wrong, no pain or pleasure, one simply observes what is with a view to allow/receive/affirm/become aware, not for the sake of self, but in order to gain understanding of the other (STO) ... & in so doing we find we accept self that much more fully... more fully to the extent that now the being/object/event being observed/accepted is joined to our own field of consciousness in such a way that both become more fully self-realized/actuated. This is the grandness of receptive experience (in contract to rejective). (The seeming exception to what i say here, would be if we were speaking of ingesting a poisonous substance into our boi-system ... in this case the rejection (non-acceptance) of the poisonous substance would be the balancing action, as also it would be if one did ingest a poison, the purging of self / rejection would be the balancing action ... so there are exceptions to the rule ... u can say the same about some circumstances that we can encounter emotionally/psychicly/environmentally that could/would be toxic to a healthy systems functioning. So in such instances, the seeming act of rejecting, is in fact accepting... accepting of the life/light/love principle ... so in fact these instances are not exceptions at all.)

There is a remarkable book on Acceptance: The Power of Now. (Tolle) It is as spiritual and as awe inspiring as the Ra Material. And completely different. If you want to explore acceptance, and the balancing that comes from it, you will learn no better than from this book.

[AnthroHeart]

I had to do a double-take on that quote isis, before I understood it. It is hard sometimes to accept what is. But Tolle is a shining example.

[isis]

It is hard sometimes to accept what is.

i always accept everything as if it was something i handpicked for myself, bc i believe in destiny & i also believe i am the creator/decider of my destiny, but sometimes it takes a while to accept - depending on how hard of a thing it is to accept...it typically never takes more than a day tho'...like for an example if some1 i love decides to remove themselves from my life, whether i like it or not, then i assume it's something i (subconsciously) wanted to happen for my own good; i assume it's something i needed to happen; i assume w/e happens happens for the best &/or for good reason(s)...& this mindset keeps me feeling great/balanced - or mayb it's just my superb diet doing that - idk...probably a little of both...

tl;dr: i agree

When does acceptance become balancing?

Ra talks about knowing yourself and accepting yourself. Both activities ("knowing" and "accepting") seem to be reciprocal, and overlapping, and, to some extent, synonymous.

Yet they're sufficiently distinct that Ra distinguishes between them, placing each in their own category.

I would place the concept of balance in the "knowing" side of the house.

Balance is an activity one does, and a state one maintains, and it speaks to a certain energetic configuration, and it implies self-knowledge. In order to undertake this balancing, some degree of self-awareness is needed, I would imagine. Even if a balance is intuitively reached without quite understanding that "balancing" is happening, it still seems an act of knowledge about the self and its needs and its energetic arrangement.

Acceptance can be a result of balancing. And it can assist appropriate balance. And it can be a means of balancing.

There are many dynamics that could be mapped between the nodes of accepting and balancing.

Lots of love, all,
