A question for the advanced

[Sacred Fool]

However, neglecting the lower when striving towards upper balance would be folly, and should be considered to be spiritual bypassing; a potentially dangerous state of lower-upper imbalance...

 
Just to tack on a thought here, a wanderer from an higher density would already be advanced in the higher energy centers and would not be coming here for that kind of work.  If the lower area seeks and the higher area is that which is sought, then the opportunity here is to further tune the seeking in the lower energy centers.

From this perspective, one might do well to seek diligently to find in these lower centers the vibrations which most closely correspond to what one most deeply is.  I.e., in 3D one has greater opportunity to purify the desire to seek and to serve.  The experience in the higher centers, in some sense, is all built upon the intensity of the lower yearning, as the higher answers the call of the lower.  In the same sense--speaking in symbolic terms--the feminine responds to the seeking of the masculine.
  

In the case of the higher density wanderer who is living a 3D life behind the veil, lower balancing is simply a necessity thru normal living, especially if you have garnered interest from the negative polarity entities who would love nothing more than to compromise and block one from service.

 
What you say is quite true in the context of climbing up the mountain, what I noted is true in the context of trekking back down.
When one is sailing the sea of randomness, buffeted by catalyst and seeking.....seeking.....  Then one does well to balance the vortices and maelstroms of inner discord as one seeks for smoother water.  But when one has found the treasure of the inner self, then one perceives those odysseys of seeking differently.  One feels the yearning at each level of consciousness and desires to answer each calling of hope and hopelessness with that which is sought, to wit: Love.

6th density wanderers come to balance wisdom with love and vice versa

There is one other factor Confederation sources teach that higher density entities seek to balance.  That is power.  One could say that the right use of love, the right use of wisdom, the right use of power is to offer love to those who seek (as well as to those aspects of self which seek), for what they most deeply seek is their own deepest expressions of love.  Why is this?  It is because these are the vibrations of self which most nearly match the vibrations of infinity, the vibrations of the Creatrix in her fullest beauty.

This is why, one might suppose, the purification of seeking in the lower levels of consciousness is so precious.
