Back-Cover Synopsis

There was once a man who sought data and discovered dawn. Sent to a forgotten island to measure coral, Eli instead begins to measure himself against the vastness of the sea. Guided by Mara—the quiet keeper of the island—he encounters a series of living lessons: the seed that stands upright in mud, the web that repairs itself each morning, the flame that burns without fear of the dark.

Through tides, trees, mirrors, and fire, he learns that life is not a line but a circle—ever returning to its source. In the luminous tradition of The Alchemist and Siddhartha, The Center is a modern parable of reconnection: a hymn to the rhythm of nature, the architecture of wholeness, and the divine geometry beating in all things.

A book for seekers, wanderers, and those quietly remembering that peace was never lost—only misplaced.

About the Author

Jin Nua (Greg Bahora) is the founder of Centerlife and Naturepath, philosophical practices inspired by the creative processes of nature. Through his writings he explores how the universe’s patterns of balance, symmetry, and renewal can guide human life toward clarity, compassion, and joy.

A longtime student of both science and spirit, Jin Nua bridges the analytical and the mystical with language that is poetic yet precise, offering readers not doctrines but directions—ways to return to their own center and live from it.

He lives between forest and sea, where silence still speaks.

  • Because You Sense Something’s Missing: Despite your accomplishments and comforts, there’s a quiet ache—an unspoken knowing that life should feel fuller, more connected, more alive.
  • Because You’ve Forgotten How To Listen: The wind still speaks, the trees still sing—but in the noise of modern living, their voices have grown faint. Eli’s journey teaches you to hear again.
  • Because You’ve Been Living From The Edges, Not The Center: You move through endless tasks and screens, but rarely through stillness. His story invites you to return to the quiet point from which all meaning flows.
  • Because Awareness Is The Bridge To Beauty: When Eli learns to see, the ordinary becomes radiant—the curve of a leaf, the breath between words, the pattern in chaos. You can see this too.
  • Because You’ve Traded Wonder For Certainty: You know facts but have forgotten awe. Through Eli, you’ll remember how mystery and clarity can coexist, and how both nourish the soul.
  • Because Your Body, Mind, And Spirit Have Drifted Apart: Eli’s path reveals that wholeness is not found in escape but in reunion—the moment you feel life pulsing through every cell again.
  • Because You’re Tired Of Being A Fragment: In chasing success or belonging, you’ve lost the thread that binds all things. His awakening shows how to weave yourself back into the larger fabric of life.
  • Because Silence Has Something To Tell You: Most fear silence; Eli befriends it—and discovers that stillness is not emptiness but presence, waiting to reveal its wisdom.
  • Because You Want To Feel Real Again: In a world of surfaces, Eli’s story reminds you of depth—that the truest parts of you have texture, roots, and light.
  • Because The Center Is Calling: You’ve glimpsed it before—in moments of love, in nature’s calm, in the pause between breaths. Eli answers that call—and invites you to do the same.
