In balance

Hehehehe, today is a beautiful date 21st day of the 21st year.

Balance, just like the guy on the bike. In order for him to be able to stay upright, a number of forces need to be in balance, just the right speed, his weight distribution, wind speed, rigidity of his body, enough space, rotation, etc. A bit of symmetry and balance provide for a much more enjoyable existence.

Today I was watching something on that popular online channel where the person was talking about existence and all the while there was a guy in the chat questioning the speaker’s competence and validity in what they were saying. It was interesting to notice that the person in the chat was not interested in the content per se, but was more interested in why the people watching the live transmission were so ready to believe that which was spoken. One was questioning the fabric of reality, whilst the other was questioning the human’s belief system. As this debate was going on, the world continued its equilibrium, keeping forces in balance, the negative and the positive, the alpha and the omega, the 1s and the 0s going.

Yesterday we spoke of transference, we talked about things impacting our lives based on what others bring to the world. In a similar fashion, we contribute to the world and influence it at the same time. Where something looks in a certain way for us, in the opposite corner, it means something different to another human. Any action has an equal and opposite reaction. An action has a consequence. A positive has a negative. An up there is a down. Balance is achieved no matter what. When we are angry, the body requires a discharge which can take the form of shouting, or swearing or hitting throwing, etc – anything to reach equilibrium again. Balance is where nature tends to come back to, and yes, we are part of nature, so through action or thought we strive to reach that balance, or as they say, in greater circles — homeostasis.

Through our journey into the self, and into our inner world; the aim is to uncover and then bring things back into balance. Discovery brings in itself assurance and safety in the knowledge that we can do something about it. It may mean that we need to find the right tools to use, to do something about it, but if we never knew of it, then we could not change it or adapt to it. The conscious and the unconscious in and of themselves are one sided, but when brought together, they make the whole being, and make existence happen. It is the unconscious that runs the program in the background and it is the conscious that gives resolution to things. One can not exist without the other.

With that said, how do you reach balance in your life?

How do you get back to equilibrium?

Does your body feel relaxed?

Do you know what relaxed means?

Do you know what you need to do to keep all the forces taut enough to maintain balance?

Time to take out your diary and take some notes when answering the questions.
