The trainer is a ball with a board glued on top. You balance on one leg for a minute. It looks childish, but try not grabbing for support. Your body freaks out—everyday life has flat surfaces, but here, there’s chaos beneath your feet.
First lesson: regaining balance drains crazy energy. The wilder you sway, the more you tire. The ideal? Tiny shifts around the vertical Y-axis.
Here’s the kicker: you sabotage yourself by setting your foot off-center. Just a bit to one side, and your body tilts toward the ground. Some muscles strain to stop the fall, overwork, and swing the pendulum the other way.
But stand dead-center, align your spine with the Y-axis, and your body finds eerie stability, almost effortless. Chaos swirls around, but you? Harmony and calm.
That’s how ancient people saw life—a dance toward or away from the source of life within a circle. Modern folks think life’s a straight line, like a roulette wheel. Ordinary, routine life leans toward decay, ruin, and decline. To save and renew it, people always returned to the center, touching the sacred, the Other.
Far from the world’s axis—axis mundi—a man grows weary, sick, and suffers. It’s a nudge: “Come back, you’re missed!”.
Sincerely yours,
