and everything as if is accessible. And that now I am approaching this central point of this world tree. So one of the things that I advise and recommend you to read once again in Wikipedia is what the world tree is, what in mythology the model of the world is, what the milk ocean is, what the middle of the world is. This is the stage at which I am now, May 15, 2025. That is, once again I am now with all my attention in this, and as if a concrete restructuring is now going on of my whole life and of me on all planes.

If we open Wikipedia, again, about what the “Middle of the world is, then in mythology it is the central part of the Universe, one of the categories of modeling space in most mythological systems. Through the object representing the middle of the world passes the world axis, Axis Mundi. The most widespread representation of the middle of the world is the world tree. The middle of the world can also be represented in the form of a hearth or fire, a well, an altar, a sacrificial pillar, a royal throne, the sun or another astronomical body revered as a deity, as well as a sacralized object associated with the idea of the center, for example, the omphalos of the Delphic temple — the navel of the earth. According to history, Abimelech from the biblical Book of Judges. The navel of the earth is a toponym near a city. This is the foundation stone. The cornerstone upon which the Jerusalem temple is situated is considered the cornerstone of the universe, because it was from it that God began the creation of the world. In Christianity the middle of the earth, the navel of the earth, is considered to be Jerusalem. According to the Psalm: “God is my king of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.” And also in the words of the prophet Ezekiel: “Thus says the Lord: This is Jerusalem. I have set it in the midst of the nations, and the countries are round about her.” In Jerusalem itself they began to point to the navel of the earth opposite the entrance to the cave of the Holy Sepulchre. This place became the symbolic Christian center of the earth, the place of salvation of all humanity. In the mytho-poetic consciousness space-time is not homogeneous. The highest value, the maximum of sacredness belongs to that point in space-time where the act of creation was accomplished — the center of the world, the middle of the world. And in the beginning — the very time of creation, mythical time. Cosmological representations are connected with these coordinates, which define the scheme of the unfolding of everything.”
