Can you help me ponder this puzzle?

Whirling dervishes always intrigued me. How is it even possible to keep that spinning going without collapsing?

I was thinking, Maybe there is some secret metaphysical inclination to spin this way which leads to enlightenment! So naturally I thought about how that might work. How could spinning facilitate a metaphysical shift in consciousness? Instead of worrying myself about the complexities of how this could be accomplished in a practical scientific explanation, I thought, why haven’t the dervishes all twirled themselves directly into transcendent post materialism? Well it must be, I thought, they either have not spun enough, or they have spun in the wrong direction.

Perhaps, one must spin in the right direction a specific set number of times. Perhaps for each person the direction is uniquely counterclockwise or clockwise, respectively.

Say that Bob, unbeknownst to himself, must spin two hundred thousand times clockwise consecutively, and will then immediately be quickened with the ultimate knowledge of being and everything. And, say Bob, if he spins one time counter clockwise must account for that spin away from enlightenment, thusly adding a single additional spin to his needed total spins. I offer that Bob is dedicated, and will not tire at all. Bob happens to possess unlimited spinning endurance. We see then that Bob always has a 50/50 chance of spinning toward enlightenment. If we tell Bob spinning will get him to enlightenment, but don’t tell him the details, he might create some sort of equilibrium spinning in either direction but never getting very far toward the goal, before switching back to try the other direction.

Or, if we are in a vast desert and a great distance to the only water, but we only know it is a certain distance forward or backward, the chances are 50/50 as long as we stick to our original choice.

Is the prudent effort to go a short distance in one direction, then double the distance in the opposite direction +1 increment and repeat this until the result is accomplished?

Hmmmm…
