    Dear Joa and Rawn,

    As much as replying to this specific topic is not something I feel
    overly happy about (it's rarely ever a good idea to add fuel to a
    fire), Crowley always brings to mind a notion I feel much need to
    express - especially after an event earlier today proved to me that
    awareness of this notion is much below the desired.

    Astral balance is of utmost importance to any kind of true magical
    progress. Without it, one is like a frail man wearing broken glasses
    stained with random colors - not only he cannot see the road ahead,
    he will be blown aside into the dark forest by the faintest gust of
    wind.
    I keep witnessing relatively large numbers of people who - in their
    quest for magic - completely forsake development of balanced
    character and high morals, and choose to pursue nothing but mental
    prowess. Some stop midway, bewildered at their lack of progress.
    Others, thinking they have done it all, are later lost to a
    megalomanic frenzy of deliria.
    I know very well that I do not have even a tenth of the required
    experience to speak of this with authority - but life seemed to have
    thrown everything but the kitchen sink at me, just to show me the
    importance and meaning of the astral balance towards magical
    development. Of course, it does add a lot of confidence to see this
    notion written by Rawn everywhere too ;)
    Still, nothing will defeat personal experience.

    I know that this being a group dedicated to Bardon's teachings, the
    teachings of balance, this whole post might be preaching to the
    choir - but I felt I should write it anyway. :)

    Sincerely,
    Daniel
