Circular Motion: The Metaphysical Nature of Space and Time

the sense that we are surrounded by G-dliness.

The truth is our concepts are limited to the framework within which we are created. No mind can grasp the Divine. Our limitation is related to time. Thus, a time before the beginning of time is beyond any human comprehension because G-d created time in order for us to be. However, science holds that what the human mind cannot comprehend doesn’t exist. Therefore, since the G-d concept is impossible to grasp, the secular scientist has to find another explanation for the world and its countless baffling phenomena.

On the other hand, the circle, being the foundation of all existence, has some fascinating properties. First, there is no beginning and no end, so how G-d created something with no beginning and no end is a mystery because everything was created from nothing. Yet since the circle has no beginning when did it begin?

Secondly, the circle, with its no beginning and no end, represents the origin of all corporeal life in the shape of the egg, which is actually a perfect sphere, made up of an infinite number of circles. So we can begin to understand that life is endless with no beginning and must therefore emanate from G-d. However, when Adam and Eve brought death into the world G-d said, “From dust you came and to dust you shall return.” That was another circle – returning to one’s origins, with the process of the creation of new life repeating itself without end.

Thirdly, the circle also represents all of the destructive forces in nature such as the hurricane, tornado, cyclone and typhoon; and volcanoes spew their ash and lava through a circular opening. Hence, we can see that the circle, like water, is a balance between Gevura (severity) and Chesed (kindness). Thus we
