All is Balance – All there is is balance

No plain not followed by a slope.

No going not followed by a return.

He who remains persevering in danger is without blame.

Do not complain about this truth;

Enjoy the good fortune you still possess.

           I Ching

When the people of the world all know beauty as beauty,

There arises the recognition of ugliness.

When they all know the good as good,

There arises the recognition of evil.

Therefore:  Being and non-being produce each other.

           Lao-Tzu

Lisa began to study nature and the world/heavens in their entirety. She noticed that everything was in cycles and tried desperately to remain in balance. It was the interaction by man that caused imbalance.

The seasons came and went, life grew and died and was quickly replaced, the moon and planets cycled endlessly on majestic silent voyages. Even the eternally spinning water atoms and molecules spun and danced in the grander cycles of rain-rivers-seas-clouds-rain.

So she began to apply this natural pull into balance into her life and way of thinking. She pondered the cycles of rebirths through reincarnation and sought to see some intrinsic purpose of balance and imbalance therein.

She saw people who constantly struggled against the ebb and flow of energies in their lives. She saw that the harder they fought, the worse things became. She saw wise souls accept life as lessons and experiences and saw they grasped them all – good times and bad. And she saw a deep peace within these people. Lisa begin to see life as a return cycle  heading back into spirit awareness and that failing to accept and learn from different lessons caused repetition of those lessons until they were successfully learnt.

People everywhere were seeing their lives get steadily worse by each choice and decision taken and the unmistakable signs of imbalance caused by the same choices of error being made over and over. The situations were lop sided. There was no balance. Nor was their acceptance of an unseen wiser and grander plan. And the self balancing cycles of good and bad times were being ignored.

Lisa decided to celebrate balance and never embrace the earthly illusion of good versus bad, extremes of bliss or sadness and so on.

She began to see that true balance is seeing and allowing all things yet focussing on higher things. She decided that one can see the dark but does not have to participate in it. She chose balance.

To be able to choose between light and dark one must know the difference. Only then could one choose true balance.
