Balance, and the Adept

[zenmaster]

It is of course, an ongoing process for us all. I also have found that it is much more practical to focus more on balancing the chakra system as it is, in any given moment, as opposed to trying "open" or "purify" each center...that seems to happen naturally, and when I am ready for it.

I would go further and say that it is more practical to work on misunderstood (unbalanced) experience than it is to work on the separate centers themselves, because self (m/b/s) information is available, in totality, to consciousness and will always be drawn to awareness from (at least) honesty of the current 'flow' of, as Ra says, 'intelligent energy' - regardless of resonance to a particular chakra station. To me the chakras are 'secondary' or 'just' indicators of balance, so the 'work' is not so much focusing on the chakras (any more than seeing all catalyst to be of the body), as it is on simply being able to listen to that totality. What comes to the attention first as 'discomfort' is always the appropriate aspect to address, regardless of where it might correspond to an energy center.
