Look at a CROSS:

The Horizontal is what you are in this world, feeding-off of others energy, not awake, acting out of full ego, victimising the little 'you' and not connected with ONE.
The Vertical is the 'spiritual' energy; it will be only 'there' when you have overcome the above stated situations. (and more)

There where these two meet is CENTER, BALANCE, THE FIELD OF NOW ... YOU.

And from that point you can see clearly in the world and speak TRUTH.
Without judgement, ego, emotions.
Remember there are many ways to describe 'things' and words are beautiful, still there is some limitation in writing and understanding.
