For an in-depth analysis of this story refer to chapters The Existential Programs Malaise and Disease and The Notebook of Creator Existential Actions.

Invisibility is a Camouflage Action that is implemented since childhood, and occurs when we identify ourselves with the family and then a social thought-form. This Strategy becomes more functional, the more we renounce recognizing ourselves, our Needs, and our Purposes.

By putting ourselves at the service of the group, we delegate the task of being kept alive (Staying Alive) to the Private or Social Family Program.

Even when we get to run a company, Camouflage-invisibility prevents us from being Recognized as an individual/Creator Individuality; therefore, the benefits brought by our work are taken for granted by others, and so, as soon as we are no longer performing we are put aside, as in the case of the protagonist of this story.

For those who, like him, have always identified with a family-company, scaling down their involvement in favor of their siblings, children, and grandchildren activates the Staying Alive Existential Risk because without the family business, they believe they do not exist.

Instead of implementing new Professional or Cultural Projects, or enjoying retirement, the protagonist seeks the attention of family members and relatives, becoming part of another family, the Disease Social one.

The Choice falls on the option that most clarifies his Existential Dilemma

• "I don't know what to do, I don't know which direction I should take”.

Hence, the progressive loss of limb control and the growing movement instability.

It's like standing at a roundabout and stopping to decide which way to go, whether to take a road already traveled several times since childhood, or choose to try new avenues (a new individual, professional, or cultural activity) and live in the Here and Now. Not knowing what to do and not being able to stand still, because life can be stopped only by death, he keeps moving around that roundabout, waiting for a signal to help him understand what's best for him.
