The Circle, symbol of life cycles, cultural innovation and spiritual transformation.
We can find no image more familiar than a circle.
Its simple structure is seen as physical (rings, the
wheel), verbal (talking in circles), celestial (the moon,
planets). It describes frustration (going in circles), joy
(circle of friends). It explains life (minstrel cycles),
death (returning to the earth).
The circle and it's meaning is the symbolic center of
everything we know about being alive. Therefore it
withstands reason that a symbol that explains so much of
our physical existence could also have something to do
with explaining the evolution of the human soul
The three great religions of the west (Judaism, Islam and Christianity) speak of a religious model
based on the principles of a straight line. This model says that we are born, have one life to live and at
it's end will face an ultimate moment where spiritual life fragments. At death we either win or lose.
From an energetic point of view this philosophical model loses all momentum...and creating
momentum is at the core of the philosophical principles of the circle.
