Correcting the Lurch or Working toward Balance.

There are two basic realities underlying in your world: first that it is polarised and second that energy is always on the move in one direction or another.

Two questions then arise as to which direction or pole your energy is directed, and whether that direction is unbalancing or balancing for you.

You have to know yourself and your strengths and weaknesses so that you don't just let your energy continue unchecked and off-balance until something from the outside comes in to correct the swing.

But if that happens, which is invariably does, then you learn to see that check, whatever it is, as "of God and The Big Universe", as an act of love and not punishment. The Big Universe is trying to teach you wisdom through these checks and balances. The Earth Mother gives you the platform on which this rather amazing dance takes place. Charque's image from biking is that you keep correcting the projected fall or lurch of the bike, from one side to the other, to maintain balance and ride. After a while with biking, this becomes an unconscious process that you don't have to think about. The same occurs with driving. But when you are learning, the lurches are, in both situations, more acute and you have to concentrate on what you are doing. Focus!
