Proportion and Balance

The Flowers Of Guidance Volume One Balance of Forces and the Blossoming of the Spirit

All things form from specific amounts and proportions of elements in the universe. The human body abides by this very principle formed from various elements mixed in a certain proportion and amount. Such merging and mixture are complex, precise, and intricate. If it does not have balance and harmony, it cannot be as effective as it should, and it will not be as effective in the case of excess or deficiency from the designated amount. If there is an excess of elements, the spirit will function with extra elements, and thus, a state of intensity and violence will invoke within the person.

On the contrary, if there are fewer and weaker elements, the spirit cannot function properly with the body, and it will experience stagnation and recession, and it will not flourish and manifest. These excesses and deficiencies are called sickness. However, when we have balance, the body will be in a state of neither excessiveness nor deficiency. Through this balance, humans can flourish, and their “inner-self” spirit (sub-conscious) or the body’s existential verity act to let it manifest. When the body has balance, the spirit will manifest better in it.
