# Balancing *Canonical page: https://ra.contact/concepts/balancing* *Last updated: 2026-06-25* *The discipline of consciously examining one's honest reactions to experience so the energy centers clear and the violet ray is purified.* ## What Ra means Balancing is the central practical exercise Ra describes for third-density seekers. The method begins with observation: the entity watches its unstudied, spontaneous, honest response to experience — not the response it wishes it had, but the actual one — and then works with that response in a meditative state to bring what was excessive toward equilibrium (41.19). Ra is consistent that brilliance of an energy center is not what the harvest measures; balance is, because an entity with intense but imbalanced centers will not be capable of sustaining the impact of intelligent infinity to the extent necessary for harvest (41.19). The exercise applies at every level of the mind/body/spirit complex. For the energy centers, it means identifying where a ray is overbright or dim and allowing the lacking quality to enter the being — not suppressed, but fully felt and known (61.11). For the everyday life, it means observing even the body's natural functions and interactions with other-selves: whether a reaction tips toward excess love or excess wisdom, and meeting it with what is missing (61.6). The aim is not to erase feeling but to know oneself completely enough that the entity is freed for further work. Ra also notes what makes balancing possible: there must be something to balance against. Where there is only ignorance, there is no opportunity; where a bias exists, each opportunity must be met (21.20). The adept working at higher levels must apply stringent honesty to each perception — compassion, love, wisdom — since what appears to be full universal love may, on examination, contain many other components not yet fully balanced (85.16). Ra's broader counsel is always to treat balance above brilliance, and to see each entity's energy pattern as unique, not measured against an ideal (38.5). ## In Ra's words The key to balance: the unstudied honest response, then the balancing work, then the purified violet ray: > Each energy center has a wide range of rotational speed, or as you may see it more clearly in relation to color, brilliance. The more strongly the will of the entity concentrates upon and refines, or purifies, each energy center, the more brilliant, or rotationally active, each energy center will be. It is not necessary for the energy centers to be activated in order in the case of the self-aware entity. Thusly, entities may have extremely brilliant energy centers while being quite unbalanced in their violet-ray aspect due to lack of attention paid to the totality of experience of the entity. > > The key to balance may then be seen in the unstudied, spontaneous, and honest response of entities toward experiences, thus using experience to the utmost, then applying the balancing exercises and achieving the proper attitude for the most purified spectrum of energy center manifestation in violet ray. > > This is why the brilliance, or rotational speed, of the energy centers is not considered above the balanced aspect, or violet-ray manifestation, of an entity in regarding harvestability; for those entities which are unbalanced, especially as to the primary rays, will not be capable of sustaining the impact of the love and light of intelligent infinity to the extent necessary for harvest. > > — [41.19.2-7](https://ra.contact/sessions/41#41.19) In the balancing of sensation, the missing quality is allowed fully into the being: > We begin with the mental learn/teachings necessary for contact with intelligent infinity. The prerequisite of mental work is the ability to retain silence of self at a steady state when required by the self. The mind must be opened like a door. The key is silence. > > … > > To begin to master the concept of mental discipline it is necessary to examine the self. The polarity of your dimension must be internalized. Where you find patience within your mind you must consciously find the corresponding impatience and vice versa. Each thought that a being has, has in its turn an antithesis. The disciplines of the mind involve, first of all, identifying both those things of which you approve and those things of which you disapprove within yourself, and then balancing each and every positive and negative charge with its equal. > > — [5.2.3-6,8-12](https://ra.contact/sessions/5#5.2) The adept must apply stringent honesty as compassion opens toward green ray: > To the student of the balancing process we may suggest that the most stringent honesty be applied. As compassion is perceived it is suggested that, in balancing, this perception be analyzed. It may take many, many essays into compassion before true universal love is the product of the attempted opening and crystallization of this all-important springboard energy center. > > Thus the student may discover many other components to what may seem to be all-embracing love. Each of these components may be balanced and accepted as part of the self, and as transitional material, as the entity’s seat of learn/teaching moves ever more fairly into the green ray. > > When it is perceived that universal love has been achieved, the next balancing may or may not be wisdom. > > — [85.16.3-8](https://ra.contact/sessions/85#85.16) ## Every use Every line where Ra uses this term, in its own context, chronologically. 226 uses, first at 2.3. - [2.3](https://ra.contact/sessions/2#2.3) — …distortions from spirit to mind; there are crystals which **balance** the distortions between the mind and the body.
