In every field of human endeavor an ideal state is attained when a condition of balance is realized. In Physiology, for example, it is well understood that to be healthy the body has to maintain internal balance despite changes in the external environment. In Statics, when all forces acting on a body are balanced, a desirable state of equilibrium is reached. Turning our attention to our understanding of human consciousness, it stands to reason that balance—in this case, the balance of awareness—results in the attainment of an ideal state of consciousness. The Middle Theory contains sweeping insights and practical approaches that can guide us to this enlightening place.
