While the angels are stable monopods ( in Jewish tradition angels have only one "leg", and are messengers of G-d, only ever tasked with one type of assignment or portfolio, for eg the angel of healing, Refael, or the angel of ATM's Caspiel), in the human realm a tripod is more stable than a bipod, which is perhaps why the Jewish calendar has three legs: Pesach, Shavuot and Sukkot. In Hebrew these festivals are known collectively as the three legs... usually translated as pilgrim festivals because the ancient Israelis used to go up to Jerusalem where the Temple stood on those holidays.
Could it be a useful practice to discover this
not-visible-to-ordinary-seeing third leg in the same way as we work with
the not at first visible third eye?
