It is possible to increase the dimension <strong>of</strong> the circumference if the length <strong>of</strong><br />
the radius is altered, but all such circles remain concentric with the identical<br />
central point. Moreover, as long a circumference is not assumed, the central<br />
point becomes meaningless; it loses its very referal existence. When the<br />
outer circle and the central point are both specified, the relationship between<br />
the manifest universe and the primeval cause is already postulated. Given<br />
the circumference, the central point can always be located. Thus this symbol<br />
suggests the all pervasive nature <strong>of</strong> the Sun. Whatever exists in<br />
manifestation is the result <strong>of</strong> solar radiation, and the Sun includes within<br />
itself every aspect <strong>of</strong> manifestation and<br />
nourishes it.<br />
Second, the symbol emphasizes the fact that the circumference is necessarily<br />
an outcome <strong>of</strong> the central point. Without the central point there cannot be<br />
any circumference. In fact, the expansion <strong>of</strong> the central point itself becomes<br />
the outer circle. <strong>The</strong> central point demonstrates another important inner law<br />
— all objective forms are merely externalizations <strong>of</strong> the subjective essence.<br />
<strong>The</strong> point itself is non-existent in the true geometrical sense. A real<br />
geometrical point has no dimension at all and in this sense cannot be<br />
perceived. But the point shown in the Sun-symbol informs us that the Sun<br />
externalizes subjective into objective form. Evolution is a process by which<br />
what lies hidden within is made evident without, what is at the core expands<br />
and blossoms to the periphery.<br />
Third, there is always a direction to the solar impact. In all movement,<br />
whether from the central point to the circumference, or along the outer ring<br />
itself, there is a direction that can be accurately traced. <strong>The</strong>re is nothing<br />
random. <strong>The</strong> central direction may be the exlernalization <strong>of</strong> an inner<br />
potential, or an evolutionary impetus within the externalized life form. <strong>The</strong><br />
circularity <strong>of</strong> the outer ring represents, during its downward movement from<br />
the top, the immersion <strong>of</strong> the soul in materiality, which having reached the<br />
densest physical sheath moves back upwards to its primeval state <strong>of</strong> purity<br />
and spirituality (see pp. 27-33).<br />
Fourth, there is rhythmic movement in the symbol. <strong>The</strong> relationship between<br />
the center and circumference, and between the different points on the<br />
curvature <strong>of</strong> the circumference, show perfect symmetry and coordinated<br />
movement. <strong>The</strong>y form a beautiful pattern <strong>of</strong> dynamic change. In all solar<br />
action, whether diurnal, annual or seasonal, or connected with the pattern <strong>of</strong><br />
growth in living beings, there is perfect order. This orderliness enables<br />
scientists to discover the hidden laws <strong>of</strong> nature. <strong>The</strong> orderliness <strong>of</strong> the solar<br />
influence is characteristic <strong>of</strong> the Sun and a guiding principle under which it<br />
operates. It ensures predictability and effective
