396. Some Reflections on the Circle
For very many reasons the symbol of the circle with
its central point forms a major key of the zodiac. A circle is
but one plane of the globe. We have already seen that the
origin of a Sun is denoted by a point in space-time. Space
is a potential globe. It conceals all the geometrical
properties of a globe and the numerical properties of zero.
The area in the globe is full of potential points which are
concealed Suns (Suns in pral.aya). Periodically each point
emerges from space and after covering up a span of a solar
system, merges into space. Before emerging and after
merging, it is a pral.aya or laya to that point. The moment a
point emerges or awakens, it works as a geometrical centre
of its own globe of space. Numerically this point is number
one. It will have a periodicity which is its own span. This
is understood as time, while the remaining portion of the
globe becomes space. Thus, there is a differentiation of time
and space from the emergence of a point.
This is also called the birth of the first limited
consciousness I am (the name of God). Circles on various
planes around this point make the globe. A circle of a
plane becomes active in the next step. On this circle two
points are marked from the centre and there is the
diameter. Thus there is the emergence of a straight line
from the Sa-dhya state to the Siddha state. Then there is a
rotation of this diameter. This rotation causes another
position of the straight line which makes the emergence
of two straight lines. When the point is potential, the
