A blockage? or an Imbalance?

[Jerome]

Jerome asked a good quesiton in another thread. I will put it here for general thoughts:

74.6 Questioner: Would you please correct me?

Ra: I am Ra. The indigo center is indeed most important for the work of the adept. However, it cannot, no matter how crystallized, correct to any extent whatsoever imbalances or blockages in other energy centers. They must needs be cleared seriatim from red upwards.

the words as they are used here (blockages, imbalances) how are they being applied? are they being used synonymously, or somehow else?

is it possibly a 'blockage in one energy centre' ... and 'imbalances between energy centres, ie one centre being too overactive relative to another?'

thanks for your thoughts. Namaste.

I think there is a clue in Ra's wording of 15.9, although it may lead to another ambiguity:

Questioner: Can you tell me a little bit about the definition of the word “balancing” as we are using it?

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.

The energy comes to us distorted, that much is clear. However, here again Ra uses the ambiguous 'or' and we're left wondering if a 'distortion' is a synonym for 'imbalance' while we're trying to figure out if 'imbalance' is a synonym for 'blockage' or whether they are all exclusive terms...

I'm thinking a less linguistic approach might be fruitful here, taking the statement the the we are a "web of electromagnetic energy fields with points or nexi of entrance" and pursuing a visual knowledge of this dynamic (which currently exists in another active thread started by Plenum).

Otherwise I'm just guessing at the distinctions.
My best guess is that a blockage is a misapprehension, a lack of understanding, essentially an imbalanced distortion which causes further imbalance in other centers (eg. orange ray negative self image leads to indigo ray blockage of unworthiness of intelligent energy). If this is so, then there are such things as balanced distortions (balanced selves, appropriate words, Free Will, Law of Confusion, etc).

To rephrase the guess - a blockage is an unbalanced distortion.

To balance the distortion (eg. patience/impatience) is to remove the blockage.
