The Balancing Program consists of concentration on each one of the three geometric symbols in sequence, with the concentration on each for five minutes. The symbols are (as) the circle with a dot; (b) the cross or plus sign, and (c) the equilateral triangle. These MUST be done in 1,2, 3 order. The circle is composed of one line, the cross of two lines, and the triangle of three lines, so you will always be sure of the order in which to do them.

You are to concentrate 5 minutes on the circle with a dot, 5 minutes on the cross and 5 minutes on the triangle in 15 consecutive minutes. If your concentration is interrupted for a few seconds only, continue as you were. But if you are called away for an appreciable period of time and your thoughts are completely distracted, start the concentration over again.

If your attention wanders and thoughts or emotions intrude, do not resist them or feel guilty about these intrusions. Thoughts and feelings are just that- thoughts and feelings—and endeavoring to suppress them is counter-productive. Whatever one constrains or endeavors to subdue will grow in strength. Instead, anchor your EYES on the symbols, as your actual connection with the symbols is through your eyes.

The following are some suggestions which may assist you in learning to maintain your focus if you are not already familiar with various meditative methods and techniques:

It is possible to stay in visual contact with each symbol image before your eyes while contemplating larger issues. For instance, go into the symbol exercise with a sense of respect because geometric forms are a part of your being. Know that your are “seeded” from the stars and breathed upon by God. In the circle of Wise Ones, it is known that humankind is made in the image of God. What does this really suggest to you? Explore yourself with the reverence and love to which you are entitled.

You may want to do this exercise with soft background music which should not be intrusive. You may also want to copy one of your favorite pieces of music with a break at five minute intervals so you do not have to use a timer or keep track of the time.

Once you have established the best time for you to do the symbols, they should be done at least once within every 24 hour period. When you do them, the Emotional level is raised. Then, gradually, it moves back toward the prior day’s level. If you do them with a 24-hour period, the level is able to stay above the previous day’s level.

Day by day, the level moves up until you get to a point where the Emotional Coefficient is 1/10th of the Mental level. At that point, the Mental level starts to move up as well and the Emotional Coefficient follows it. This is called the Locking process. PLEASE REMEMBER, if you stop before you have become Balanced and Locked, you can lose all the gains you have made.

CAUTION: We ask that you refrain from doing any other meditation for 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after the daily symbol exercise. This avoids weakening or reducing the effects of any meditative efforts.
