    Dear Chuck,

    The ultimate goal of the character transformation is the complete
    positivization of the personality. Bardon speaks of "balance" in Step
    Two because the goal for Step Two, in this regard, is the transformation
    of the most outstanding negative traits. By the end of Step Two the
    initiate must have established a rudimentary 'balance' wherein the major
    negative traits have been positivized and there is, at least, a balance
    between positive and negative. In Step Three, this process is continued
    and by the end, the rudimentary 'Equilibrium' attained wherein only very
    minor negative traits remain untransformed.

    >> Question 1:
    To balance a negative water trait, ... <<

    You are not "balancing" or "eliminating" the negative traits. Instead,
    you are *transforming* them. You will find items in the positive mirror
    that can help in this transformation, but it's not just a matter of
    increasing an opposing positive trait.

    >> Question 2:
    Kind of an odd question, though some of us come out of a particular
    statment with our own individual and unique understandings, grins.
    Is the balancing of elements ideas in this section and personal
    exercises to balance the positive traits also? To a medium elemental
    trait. <<

    No. At some point, you will work to strengthen your weaker positive
    traits until all your positive traits have a similar degree of strength.
    There is no "dumbing down", so to speak, of your positive traits.

    >> I ask this because some of my positive traits (listening too much to
    people at times, when I could agress and not give up my time and
    accomplish some task I must do instead) is an excessive positive trait
    of being a good listener. This obviously needs to be curtailed, cut
    back, so that I get a practical task accomplished which is being delayed
    by over giving of my time to listening.
    Now does this water/positive trait of being a good listener, though in
    excessive giving of time to listening it becomes a water/negative
    trait have to be balanced with the opposite water polarity trait or
    the opposing element opposite polarity trait?
    Some good/positive qualities can be in excess and become negative
    traits also is my point. <<

    An excess such as you describe is a negative trait, not a positive one.
    Being a good listener is indeed a positive trait, but the excess of it
    is not. Often, an excess such as this, which wears a positive face, has
    nothing to do with the positive face. In other words, the positive
    trait of being a good listener and the negative trait of leaving your
    other commitments unattended because you've been listening too long, are
    two separate issues, each with a different root. The one belongs in
    your positive mirror and the other in your negative mirror.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
