I consider "using gravity" to leverage massive change to be a core principle of spiritual change.

FLINT MAN SOLVES THE MYSTERY OF STONEHENGE
August 1, 2006

The question of how the ancients stood 26-ton stones on end to create
Stonehenge more than 5,000 years ago has puzzled scientists for millennia,
but a retired carpenter from Flint Michigan may have cracked the case.
Wally Wallington has been single-handedly moving incredibly large objects --
weıre talking 10-ton concrete blocks -- with very little effort for years.
In 2003, using only sticks, stones, rope and gravity, he began building on
his own Stonehenge in his backyard.
It works like this: Wallington uses a homemade wood fulcrum to turn a giant
stone block into a lever. Using counterweights, he maneuvers thin pieces of
wood underneath the block until itıs hoisted off the ground. Then he takes
the counterweights off the block and allows gravity to take over. Within
seconds the giant block is vertical. Wallington stood his first
Stonehenge-sized block, 19,200 pounds, by himself in only two days.
Itıs been hypothesized that the original Stonehenge took about 2,000 years
to complete. Even though Wallington doesnıt have a scheduled completion date
for his Stonehenge, weıre pretty sure it will take a lot less time than
that.
Wallington first started leveraging heavy objects during his carpentry days.
³I had to remove some 1,200-pound saw-cut concrete blocks from an existing
floor,² he explains on his web site. ³The problem was that we did not have a
machine that could reach some of the blocks. The only obvious answer was to
break the blocks into smaller pieces with a sledgehammer and load them into
a wheelbarrow. To me, this seemed to be too much labor at the time, so I
improvised.²
University of Michigan physics professor Michael Bretz agrees that the
effort is pretty impressive. While he notes that no one can prove how
Stonehenge was built, ³it seems entirely plausible that ancient blocks could
have been moved via his rock pivot and rocking/rotating technique.²
