Is it necessary to balance the energy centers before putting the mind to work?

[dexter101]

just do what you can. when we come into this life we already planned the majority of it. we have very limited free will. it is a 75 000 year journey. i can understand the need to meditate hours and hours a day in order to increase the magical abilities. however i think no matter how hard we try sometimes our life is not fully in our control but in the hands of ourselves that chose this life before we incarnated. this goes for both polarities.
jesus is a good example. no matter what he did he would always end up sacrificing himself. it was his destiny and it was revealed to him during his life.
destiny waits for no man.
