Inside the Mind of God - Balance
All of us crave more balance in life.
We talk about balance in the sense of keeping two opposite forces equal, such as work-life and mind-body.
Like a boy and a girl on a seesaw.
This is how the majority of people imagine the concept of balance.
But this is only one expression of it — and a limited one at that.
Balance actually has three expressions.
In today’s article, I want to focus on one of those expressions that is often overlooked, yet is the source of the other two.
After reading this, you will start to see it everywhere and begin to be able to apply it in all aspects of your life.
Balance as Unity.
Your Mind’s Relation to Oneness
Unity is Oneness.
Unity is the undivided center, from which two opposite levers of expression of that Oneness emerge.
Said another way, it is the FULCRUM from which both levers of the seesaw extend.
MIND is that center; it is the fulcrum.
THOUGHT is the lever which extends from the fulcrum of MIND.
The Purpose of Mind is to think. We all know this intuitively.
But what does Mind think?
Mind knows and thinks its one whole idea — CREATION ITSELF — and takes apart that ONE idea and seemingly divides it into an infinite amount of separate unit expressions of that idea.
That might sound confusing, but it actually isn’t.
Let me explain it this way: Everyone understands the concept - or the IDEA - of a book.
The Unity-IDEA of a book, however, has an infinite amount of individual expressions — Harry Potter, Treasure Island, Moby Dick, etc.
Similarly, the Unity-IDEA of mankind has an infinite amount of possible expressions — 8.3 billion of which are currently inhabiting this planet, all with two eyes, arms, legs, but yet no two exactly alike.
So What Does This Have To Do With You?
What is it that you, I, or anyone else on the planet does from the time they wake, until the time they go to bed?
From the moment we wake, we are always trying to fulfil some desire, be it physical or mental.
In order to fulfil our desire we must come up with an Idea for how to do so.
Every thought and action you take begins the same way:
With an IDEA — extended from desire.
This is the rhythmic structure of everything anyone does or creates:
The only difference in the fulfillment of one’s desire is the element of time — and how big one’s Idea is.
The idea of washing one’s hands can be fulfilled in a very short period of time.
The idea of a fully constructed building will take much more time.
We will see why in a bit.
Application of Unity
Lets apply our Idea → Thought → Action cycle to the original example I gave of the fulcrum and lever in order to construct a building.
Instead of a seesaw extending from its fulcrum, lets imagine two circles extending from a center.
The Unity-IDEA of our fully constructed building is that center.
Action is one circle.
Thought is the other.
Manifestation of any Idea requires a UNITY of thought and action.
Back to our building…
A building is made of bricks, in order to build a balanced and lasting structure, each brick must be placed perfectly so that each brick placed afterwards may be placed perfectly — if not, the structure will become unbalanced and topple.
With that idea in mind, we start the construction of our building.
We imagine (think) about placing our first brick as perfectly as we can and then take the actual action of placing the brick.
In order to place that brick perfectly, our action of placing it must perfectly mirror our thought of placing it.
If our action PERFECTLY MIRRORS its thought, then we have attained UNITY — like the two circles of a Ven Diagram merging into one.
Now we repeat the Idea → Thought → Action cycle again and again, brick by brick and we gradually see our IDEA manifest materially.
This is the process of giving a material body to a spiritual concept.
The structure will either be balanced or unbalanced according to how we have unified our THOUGHTS with our ACTIONS in accordance with our Mind-IDEA.
“Desire ye what ye will, and behold, it standeth before thee. Throughout the aeons it has been thine without thy knowing, e’en though thou has but just asked for it.
Sit thou not and ask, acting not, for unless thou reach out for thy desire it shall not walk thy way to thee, unaided by thy strong arms.
— Walter Russell, The Divine Iliad
The truth is, all products of ideas which we manifest have a residue of unbalance.
Talk to any composer, painter or film maker and they will always tell you that the immortal IDEA they had was always infinitely more perfect than the expression they were able to create — they always say they could have done a bit more.
Perfection, therefore, is not in the product which was created, but in our ability to mirror our product or outcome with our original Mind-Idea.
Simply stated, CAUSE is perfect, but is usually imperfectly worked out.
What Causes Unbalance or Disunity?
Unbalance is caused when:
our thought forms don’t mirror its IDEA
or
our actions don’t mirror our thoughts
There are many reasons for this, some within our control and some outside of our control.
Perhaps the project you worked on at work didn’t turn out the way you wanted because you didn’t sleep the night before because you had too many drinks and your thoughts were off.
You attempted to draw a beautiful picture from an idea you had, but lack the understanding of the techniques of linear and aerial perspective.
Maybe while writing the latest chapter in your novel the power goes out but you forgot to save it.
Doubts, fears and all other negative thoughts will also cause unbalance — sometimes to the point of never even beginning to start in the first place.
A Powerful Idea
Balanced-unity is something you maintain moment to moment.
It is maintained by ensuring that your ACTIONS mirror your THOUGHTS and your THOUGHTS mirror your IDEA — this is what unity is.
Every moment of your day presents you with an opportunity for making your dreams a reality.
A moment-to-moment awareness of your IDEAls and their expression through thought and action, enables you to correct imbalances as they arise—before they prevent the fulfilment of your desires.
POWER lies in CAUSE and CAUSE means IDEA. Those three words are ONE. They are all qualities of God (Mind). They all mean the same thing, the only difference being the connotations we ascribe to them.
“God's Mind is your Mind; hence you have all knowledge and power that God has to the extent of your awareness of God in you and the measure of your comprehension of your unity with Him.” —Walter Russell

Strong, clear, and practical—this piece from Classical Aegis cuts through abstraction and frames balance as something earned through alignment, not comfort. I especially appreciate how you connect thought and action into a coherent system.
I’d add a third force to your model: willpower (iccha shakti). Alongside intention (sankalpa shakti) and action (kriya shakti), will is what actually commits a person to move. It’s the force behind those moments when, if asked why, the only honest answer is: “Because I have to—this is what calls me.”
In my view, every true vocation and every real act of creation draws from this energy. It’s what pulls the system together—what effectively binds the two circles in your diagram into one functioning whole.
Curious how you see that—does willpower complete the structure you’re describing?
