What does "The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions" mean?

[Patrick]

...If so, then what is the point?  Is it simply a matter of comfort in being more balanced, or might there be a deeper purpose?

Isn't it by reaching our own perfect balance that we become a perfect unique perspective of the One?

If so, then how might the upward spiraling journey of consciousness tie into to a "perfect balance?"  Would there be a dynamic process of balancing, taking on more lessons, re-balancing, etc.?  Or would it become more subtle and more beautiful than that, I wonder?

It's a push toward that upward perfection. It can look like it's a pull, but it's really more of a push. That push is not forced, it's just something implemented in the design itself. We feel our way upward, just by following our sense of: are we getting warmer or colder. What informs that sense is that which is already that perfected balance, it knows what it feels like to be that, but not how to get there. So the Creator is interested more in seeing how we are going to feel our way there (within a given set of parameters), rather than the end result itself, since the end result is already there.
