About Balance The Luminary sat on one of the seats reserved for the priesthood during the ceremony. The Temple in Mimer was full and when the congregation sat down Medugnatos stood up and making extensive use of his Walking Stick slowly walked to the nostrum to deliver his sermon. He was well known in Mimer and when he began the mumbling stopped immediately. "There has been a lot of discussion not only recently about the essence of balance and it's importance for a faithful life I wish to add my own ideas to the discussion. When we take a closer look at only one Star than we will see this Stars influence more clearly, we will be more aware of what it does and can identify its influence much more easily but in the same time we sacrifice something and the deeper we fall into the One Star the more we sacrifice. We sacrifice awareness for the other two. You can not dig deep into the energy of the Auster without loosing grip of the Maddening or the Auspicious. The only way to make sure you avoid this trap is balance. In a manner of speaking Balance is the only path that will slowly bring you on top of three mountains while you climb only one. In direct opposition to the seemingly faster and easier way of tuning into only one Bloodstar what will lead you on top of only One mountain while the others are far behind the Horizon, unreachable without climbing back down from what you considered success already. To look at the Divine as a Trinity, a whole together, an inseparable unity is Shield and Sword against the false promises of the Singularity Approach. We all have seen what imbalance brings. Suffering for the imbalanced, suffering for those around them. There is no 'I was in the grip of this or that Bloodstar'. There are only the Three Divine and you who can fight against their influence or follow it and that is the decision of each and everyone, every day. If you follow only one Star or even if you prioritize and think them as individuals you automatically somehow fight or hinder the influence of the other two. That can't be good. That can only bring suffering. I know. I have been unusually hard to you today. The threat of imbalance needs to be pointed out and now that you have heard my sermon I wish that you try to really tune in on the energy of all Bloodstars and when you do feel what a difference it makes, how peaceful and centered you can look at things now and how clear some difficult problems suddenly seem. I wish you a good night, Brothers and Sisters. Find home safely and my you always walk in Their lights."
