(In the photo you can see how the ants organize themselves to drink water. If the drop had not been circled, the surface tension would have reacted to the force exerted by the ants in one direction and the whole drop would have been lost. Great illustration of importance of collaboration, but also importance of balance in all things!)
Recent discussion on the forum reminded me that each subject can be watched from multiple angles and how much balance is important, in order to get sane conclusions.
Balance in all things is one of the most important ideas in Urianism. Let’s explore it throughout The AhYeh book.
From The AhYeh book:
Yet, balance severity with compassion, the masculine with the feminine, tolerance with a stubborn refusal to sell-out to those who would cheapen and degrade the human race.(6)
Note 6: Balance is essential in the path to heavenly life. Sellouts have corrupted many faiths, wanting money and popularity, social acceptance, and tickling ears (telling people what they want to hear) to get it. On the other end, rigid and hate-filled tyrannical religion discourages people, causes them to hate God, hate faith, and turn away to darkness, and creates societies that are horrific and oppressive, not to mention stagnant and backwards.

Are you truly conscious of good and evil? Do you crave what is considered evil, even by your own moral compass, yet, long for it even while hating yourself for it? Do you justify and seek elaborate excuses for things that hurt you and/or harm others?
Good can be subjective, on one level, as is evil – though the God of Truth defines good as selfless ness and evil as selfishness. Yet, what man calls evil, God may regard as necessary to the balance, and what mankind calls good, may actually be of negative consequences to the greater good of the natural order.

Now is the revealing of the Middle Pillar (4), and the angels of wrath and mercy are welcome, as all shall serve the divine balance. Seven made one, who is the eighth. An angel standing with one foot on the land and one foot on the sea, crowned with a rainbow, as he speaks the (5) judgment of the seven thunders and roars with the voice of the El Olam (God Eternal).
Note 4: The Middle Pillar simply means, balance, between severity and mercy, hard and soft, warlike and passive.

As I endeavor to reveal unto you the different planes of spiritual life, I counsel you not to take what I say too literally, but to realize that such realms are states of mind and conditions of the heart, and exist as collective visions (shared ideas and dreams).
In spiritual writings, inspiration, and mediumship, out-of-body dreams and conversations in otherworldly places, balanced against cross-religious, paranormal, and esoteric studies, some parts of a picture begin to take shape.
...
They that are, in the truth of themselves, ingoing, thoughtful, intellectual, contemplative, given to private devotion, or who see moderation and balance as most important, should don the gray robes of the Middle Pillar Path.
...
I do not say, however, that a servant of God may not have wealth. I do not say to give all your possessions to the poor, for mine is a middle path, emphasizing pragmatic wisdom. I tell you rather, that balance is the key in all things.
...
Again, take personal responsibility, for this is of utmost importance. Yet, balance is also required, in that you cannot, and should not, own or take responsibility for things that were outside of your control.
...
Your notion of God is imbalanced; disregarding the nature of the creation itself, as a reflection of the Maker’s own nature. There is a merciful and a severe, a right and a left hand – a shepherd’s staff and a conqueror’s sword, joined as the scepter of divine rule.
(11)
Tempering the hard and the soft aspects of the angelic and the divine is built into the tri-pillars and seven orders of The Way from Heaven.
...
Look at the various systems of the world. Fine tune, tweak, streamline, coordinate, and refine your own system, but find a way to provide at least basic healthcare to all your law-abiding citizens, in balance and wisdom, knowing that idealism must be filtered through the cheesecloth of realism.
...
In all things, balance is essential.
...
Permissiveness promotes immorality and lawlessness, which will empower tyranny in due course. She has sought to tie the hands of religious parents, so that they cannot correct or discipline their own children. A balance between discipline and compassion is, as in all things, essential.
...
The Agency of Political and Social Mediation is to be responsible for negotiating and mediating between various political and social organizations within the government. There are to be no labor unions within the Urianocracy, but this agency will act as mediators between workers and businesses, businesses and the government, protest movements and the state. Its mandate will be to not take sides, and too seek fair and amicable resolutions with an eye to balance and justice.
...
However, one thing most religious nations of the past lacked, was sufficient humor and the ability to laugh at them selves. A balance must be struck, a fine line walked, and laughter must abound with frequency, yet without the demonic forms thereof.
...
There is an aspect to creativity present within the creative spirit, which wishes to push the boundaries, test the limits, and peer into the darkest abyss of human nature and the bleakest corners of the human mind. There is also a tendency in humans to think in black and white terms; and yet, shades of gray often become gateways to infernal reaches and lands of confusion.
It is a difficult path to walk, the way of balance. Within The Kingdom you will have to create your own movies, your own television shows, your own radio programs, your own media, your own comedy. Yet, do not paint your society in drab colors and grim totalitarian grays. Do not be so blinded by zeal and purity that you cannot differentiate between the art of Michelangelo and the bile of pornographers, the humor of believers and the vulgarity of the godless. Do not be so dense as to put great works of literature into the same category as adult novels.
...
Artistic expression is essential to the health and well being of a nation's soul and spirit, and without it a nation is dim and partly dead. In all matters of communication be wise, balanced, and fair.
...
Finally, let’s remind ourselves that the whole idea of heavenly balance is embedded in the most important symbol of Urian religion - Dur.An.Ki, balance and bond betwee the Heaven and the Earth!
Like the ants on the first picture, let's dring the water of life and gnosis together, so that we never be thirsty again!
I LOVE THIS!
I get to be a Urian, a person in the audience learning, as if for the first time. It is weird, to be schooled this way.
God Bless and Thank You 😃
