The proper role of the individual self in relation to the outside world.

[Bring4th_Austin]

I would say that is the case, in a sense. Would the negative polarity need to be abandoned in the end if it were truly balanced in line with the creator? One could say that there is relative balance within the Service to Self path, I suppose. Yet while each path will handle emotions is different and the way each path will activate energy centers is different, it is the Service to Others path which persists in its balance within density of unity, where there supposedly is no polarity.

Ra's description of balance and balancing techniques most certainly apply to a Service to Others individual, as they include integration and acceptance of experience and emotion rather than control, and deal with activation of all energy centers. I think it's safe to say that when Ra says "balance," they mean Service to Others balance, which one might extrapolate is "true" balance.
