Today, I was thinking about the Star Wars movies and how Anakin's purpose was to restore balance to the Force. I came to the realization that the Force needed to be re-balanced, because the Jedi and Sith themselves were throwing it off. They each focused solely on one aspect of it and completly destroyed and had to start over. I'm planning to write up an article explaining they neglected the other. As a result, Jedi and Sith were incomplete based on these observations, but this kind of supports the theory that we need to learn about the Force as a whole and flow with it. That way we're where we need to be and doing what we need to do in order to fulfill our destinies that the Force wants to lead us to.
I'd like to offer my perspective on this section of your blog entry, perhaps open these concepts for discussion. It's interesting that the words we use and the way we view things can be paradoxical and thus often almost cancel one another out.

Imo, offer a clue to the misperceptions of man as a whole and thus a key to his release.
The Source cannot be rebalanced, it flows on, requires no balance within itself, because in containing all it exists beyond such spurious concepts of polarity. It is us who need to be rebalanced. Sith and Jedi, Christian and Muslim, whatever you might choose as an example, are not actually on different sides at all, because there are none. It is our belief that there is which causes us to become unbalanced, to perceive one way or being as right and another wrong.
Flowing with the Source leads us to this Oneness, not to feeling the need to destroy one another or to do anything to the Source at all. How can perfection require adjustment?
