          For a better understanding of The Laws of Creation, I suggest
          you start with the parent article discussing Universal
          Law & Chaos, before reading about this specific law.
          It will help to put this law into it's proper context.
          
 
           The Balance Of Life and SpiritThe divine Universe was created by energy as a means to expand
          itself into matter. In metaphsyical theory, that was the very
          first act of balance. Balancing spiritual energy to physical
          matter.
          
  Living In BalanceMany people these days are taking a good look at themselves
          and their lives. They look at how they interact with their family
          unit, how they conduct themselves within business matters and
          how much  time they spend on making the
          all mighty dollar and the illusive career. With the next evolution
          of the spiritual human beginning in full swing in June 1996,
          people are trying to find the right balance of life's daily events.
          Wither on a conscious level or spiritually sub-conscious level.  
          Perhaps it's because the common idea of what a "spiritual
          person" is, can often be far beyond our capabilities to
          attain. We look in a mirror and condemn ourselves for something
          we did that was "non-spiritual". We may say I've "fallen
          from grace" and then beat ourselves up about it later. But
          we try the next day to aspire to the illusive image again.
           
          It's great to have lofty goals, as long as you can attain
          some of them once in a while. But one thing to remember is that
          our existance as incarnated beings is only 50% of who we really
          are. We are also 50% spiritual. As such we have human desires,
          needs and emotions. Those human traits are not always conducive
          to spiritual thinking or spiritual ways of living. But we need
          not beat ourselves up about it.
 There is some validity in the old adage "Too much of
          a good thing can still be bad for you". It's very true.
          Living to much in the spiritual mind and not being grounded isn't
          any better than those who live in the physical world and never
          give their spiritual natures a second thought, or a first one
          for that matter. It's an adage that tries to define living in
          extremes is not living in balance.
          What we are here to learn above all, is balance. Through
          that lesson, you can learn acceptance, and how to let go of the
          past. Letting go doesn't mean loving those who hurt you, rather
          it means forgiving them within yourself and then letting go of
          the emotions to move on.
           
          Many people think being a spiritual person means you don't
          cuss, you don't lie, you don't have bad thoughts, you don't drink,
          do drugs, or talk about sex. To some you don't even have fantasies
          or get angry or even say a bad word about anyone. Now if that's
          living as a spiritual person, then no one on this planet can
          call themselves spiritual. Being someone who is always pushed
          around emotionally because you believe that's what living as
          a spiritual person means, isn't living in balance. Perhaps your
          lesson would be to learn how to stand up for yourself, believing
          you have rights and your own emotions have validity.
           
          If someone makes you mad, then accept the emotion for what
          it is. It is a human emotional response to a personal situation.
          Now isn't that what you're here to learn about? Aren't we here
          to experience human interactions and emotions on all levels in
          order to learn? How are you going to do that, if you don't "feel"
          any emotions?
           
          Living in balance means keeping that anger in perspective.
          You don't take it out on someone else and you don't try to kill
          or mame the person you are mad at. You just accept the emotion
          for what it is. If you lash out at the person who made you mad,
          then you will have to accept the consequences of the energy you
          created by doing so. Better to accept, let go, and allow the
          divine laws of karma to provide justice.
          If you act upon desires to avenge your emotions, you will be
          no better off than the person who hurt you.
           
          Being spiritual means you trust in the Divine to take care
          of you, and allow the Divine forces of the universe to deliver
          justice to those who deserve it. Learn for yourself how to let
          go of the anger, let go of the hate
          and hurt, and move on with your life in balance.
           
          I'd like to note, we're not talking about physical crimes
          here. We're talking about personal emotional issues. If you believe
          someone has harmed you physically, then we urge you to contact
          the authorities in your area.
         
          
             
           
          We are all part human and part spiritual being. We need to
          accept those traits we see in ourselves as "un-spiritual".
          It is who you are. How can you ignore part of yourself? Better
          to address the part you don't care for and change it to a positive
          you do like. Bottom line is, learn how to accept the human traits
          you have within your being. They're just as important as the
          spiritual gifts you're trying to attain.
