Circle with the central point

Matter animated by the spirit

October 25th 2024
Matter is inert and formless until the spirit descends into it to bring it to life. The vivifying spirit is symbolized by a point, and matter by the circle that surrounds it. Cosmic Intelligence has placed this figure of a point surrounded by a circle* throughout the universe. We see it in fruit (the flesh that surrounds a core or seed), in our eyes, in certain parts of men’s and women’s anatomy. It even corresponds to the structure of a cell, of an atom and of the solar system… We see this symbol everywhere we look, for it represents the whole of life, the whole of creation: in the centre of the circle is the point, the Cosmic Spirit that vivifies the universe.
Initiates, who understand the potency of this symbol, ask only to possess this point – the spirit – within themselves. And we too are circles; each one of us must ask to receive the central point, the Holy Spirit. As long as we remain a circle without a point, we will be empty and unfulfilled. But the day the central point, the Spirit, comes to dwell within us to animate and illuminate us, we shall be fulfilled.
