Not so much the circle, but the spiral.

Chaotic Paradoxical Inclinations describe the Human in his natural state.

At least I see it that way.

Circles are simple closed curves which divide the plane into two regions, an interior and an exterior.
The circle is the shape with the largest area for a given length of perimeter. (See Isoperimetric inequality.)
A circle is a simple shape of Euclidean geometry consisting of those points in a plane which are the same distance from a given point called the centre.

But I like the idea of the circle as a closed curve best.

Circulo: Sol, Lua, roda da vida, ciclos, Planeta Terra, olhos, amigos, corrente do bem, ciranda, energia…

Que vc tenha uma otima viagem, um produtivo compromisso, e uma maravilhosa semana!!

First of all, many celestial objects in the universe have circular shapes. The Earth, the Sun, glbular cluster, etc. One noticeable thing I’ve realized is that we are living in “round Earth”, but hardly recognize the fact that the planet we are living in is round. To our narrow and limited perspective, it seems true that the horizons of the earth are consisted of straight lines, not circular lines. What a short-sighted human beings are!

Secondly, a circle appears on the national flag of my home country, south korea. It means eternity without any starting points or ending points. The infinite universe.

Finally, it reminds me of a book “Der Zauberberg”. In the story, Hans, the protagonist thought about a circle when he realized about the passage of time. A birth and death. The spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

No I don’t agree with it.To me it’s the contrary.It means wholeness.It’s the source of everything and we will return to the source.

Hello,Irina Black:when you say “to reach 10″,is it like the 10′s in the Tarot?The card 10 meaning the end of something and then back to the Ace?

I don’t know if someone said it,but the circle inspires the Zodiac too.

I have heard that .. everything is a circle. Reading the above circular theories I have just started realizing it.. Everything in the Universe is a circle.. The movement is the circle.. Ouroboros is a snake eating his own tale .. [ Ουρά + βορά = tail+ eating]

The .. Magic circle used in Magic.. and the Knights of the round/ circle table [Sir ... Lancelot, King Arthur and Camelot, dearest Paul from Austria! I liked the incident with the .. romantic 'knight' on your Road to Santiago, as you have described it.;] Thank you.]
The circle of incarnations.. although I prefer to think, that there is an ..end to it. THEOSIS. The return of the Prodigal Son to his Father’s house!
The Circle into the Triangle.

I was glad that although I read 70 something comments I still had the same answer all a long, then I discovered how committed I became!! How insistant I am..
A circle always and will always remind me of the EYES.. the door to the soul :)

Love KL.

It also reminds me of blowing bubbles as a kid. They’re also perfectly round (except when you make huge ones that undulate and wiggle :) )

peace also.
peace also presents potential.. perhaps?!

Here is the homepage of the site where I found the image:

I’ve been reading a lot about this myself lately in several books that I have at home. My current obsession: tree lore and mythology (Celtic, Norse, and other), sacred trees, the “World Tree,” the “Guardians” of trees, trees themselves as guardians of this world or doorways to Otherworlds, sacred groves and forests, the magical properties of certain trees, the origin of Runes and the Ogam, etc.

Hope enjoy reading about it as much as I do!

Love,
Savita

I have been thinking of infinity and the possibility that the inverse of infinity is a singularity. In our world, they appear to be at odds with one another, two extremes. They vector out in opposite directions from where we are. But I think they join in some way. Infinity is pulled inside out or inverted in the singularity so that it too is infinite, infinitesimal, infinitely dense. And the circle is unbroken.

If you happen to visit Budapest, do not miss a restaurant called

CAFÉ KÖR

(kör = circle in Hungarian)
Here you can eat really good, traditional Hungarian food. Not one of the cheapest places in the town – but here the price is worth the quality.

Have a nice day!

DaVinci’s Vitruvian Man. It represents the perfect symmetry in the human body and, by extension, the natural universe.

A circle is a simple shape of Euclidean geometry consisting of those points in a plane which are the same distance from a given point called the centre. The common distance of the points of a circle from its center is called its radius. A diameter is a line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle and which passes through the centre of the circle. The length of a diameter is twice the length of the radius.

Circles are simple closed curves which divide the plane into two regions, an interior and an exterior. In everyday use the term “circle” may be used interchangeably to refer to either the boundary of the figure (known as the perimeter) or to the whole figure including its interior, but in strict technical usage “circle” refers to the perimeter while the interior of the circle is called a disk. The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle (especially when referring to its length).

A circle is a special ellipse in which the two foci are coincident. Circles are conic sections attained when a right circular cone is intersected with a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cone.

Early science, particularly geometry and Astrology and astronomy, was connected to the divine for most medieval scholars, and many believed that there was something intrinsically “divine” or “perfect” that could be found in circles.

Some highlights in the history of the circle are:

1700 BC – The Rhind papyrus gives a method to find the area of a circular field. The result corresponds to 256/81 as an approximate value of π.[1]
300 BC – Book 3 of Euclid’s Elements deals with the properties of circles.
1880 – Lindemann proves that π is transcendental, effectively settling the millennia-old problem of squaring the circle.[2]

Properties
The circle is the shape with the largest area for a given length of perimeter. (See Isoperimetric inequality.)
The circle is a highly symmetric shape: every line through the center forms a line of reflection symmetry and it has rotational symmetry around the center for every angle. Its symmetry group is the orthogonal group O(2,R). The group of rotations alone is the circle group T.
All circles are similar.
A circle’s circumference and radius are proportional.
The area enclosed and the square of its radius are proportional.
The constants of proportionality are 2π and π, respectively.
The circle centered at the origin with radius 1 is called the unit circle.
Thought of as a great circle of the unit sphere, it becomes the Riemannian circle.
Through any three points, not all on the same line, there lies a unique circle. In Cartesian coordinates, it is possible to give explicit formulae for the coordinates of the center of the circle and the radius in terms of the coordinates of the three given points. See circumcircle.

We are enfolded in the perfection of God, perfecting us, too. Arms clasped around someone make a circle, but the circle means nothing without the love and compassion binding them together.
