Between the embodied person within us in the sense of the affinity that arises from both being made up of the constituents of which the earth we are a part of, and the psychic whole that is its underlying self-organizing cohesive balance between all opposites, there is an axis. A pillar that acts as a link between them. We see it in the midsummer pole and in the Christmas tree. In the old Sami and finnish tradition, a pillar supporting the sky that also connects the Earth with the North Star. Or the earth and the psychic space beyond it. It is our embodied relationship to the earth and the organic life of the disembodied psyche. Most tangibly experienced in someone’s death, where the psychic content leaves the body and it is separated from the corporeal life it had in it, returning to the original space and form it had before it entered it through our birth. The body seems empty, but life and death are united through this in a constant cycle of psychic rebirths or migrations between different states where each time we have entered life we have to repeat the directions our psychic development needs to undergo anew in order to realize what it is that is happening to us, what it is that we go through in our conflict between our bodily and psychic life. Without this axis between these states, we have a feeling of desolation, an alienation and exclusion from this connection, of what emerges within us. Our contact with the whole of which we are a part gets lost. We begin to imitate life instead of participating in it. We do not see that the inner path we must follow is the same path that has been there for all of us all the time. Through our environment’s relationship to it, of not having a way to approach it, we have usually taught ourselves to avoid it. Until its importance to us becomes a demand and too intrusive that we must obey it for the sake of our mental health. We experience it in different ways but it is always there and we must follow it on our own unique terms, alone within ourselves. It is the axis we use to move back and forth, from listening to participating in it, and to perceive it as existing within all matter. Its intrinsic importance to the experience of a cohesive personality and the mutual interactivity it has with the world around us can never be overstated. If we pay attention, we can also experience it when we step out of it every morning and we wake up to the senses that embody this experience in relation to nature which then begins to interact with us.
