The Circle

​

In esoteric texts the ring is often presented as a snake biting its own tail. We see the circle as a oneness, a fullness which maintains itself and thus keeps moving, without beginning or end. It is a continuous cycle, just like the human experiences the World of Wisdom, in whatever form.

We know that a ring is often seen as a symbol of oneness.

You know the principle of the wedding ring: it stands for binding with the other, for fusing to form a unity.

This shows that the human felt that the circle stands for the longing to form a unity with a partner and to advance together.

This is a reflexion, a result of the principle of this circle, transformed by the human into something that is easy to handle and to fit into his daily life.
