Station 7 · my way
The completion
The three sides of the triangle — witness to body, soul and spirit. In the metal ring, the secret of my longing for eternal life is reflected. The ring that is not closed means: I am not endless in this life.

Wolf Leo (Germany)
Body, soul and spirit form a unified whole. The soul is our life — full of inconsistencies, abysses, hopes and desires, darkness and light. It was and is our purpose to view this unity in a dynamic manner. This life can fail, or it can lead to fulfillment.
If everything is immaterial and indifferent, then we have stagnation and no goal to achieve. Even if this stagnation is disguised by the hectic life and never coming to rest, every movement is stifled.
The soul can identify with material things — this leads to materialism, egotism.
One leads to “darkness”, to “death” (symbolic for unconsciousness, isolation from the whole), the other path leads to “light”, to “eternal life”.
This requires humility — the courage not to hold fast onto the Self, but to surrender oneself to the whole, to let oneself be transformed. We can thereby lose the ego, but not the personality.
“Person” is what lies behind the outer appearance (per-sonare = sounding through, meaning the mask in Greek tragedy that comes to life through the one who stands behind it and is heard).
We are not endless in this life.
