In geometry a circle is defined by its centre and its circumference. But whatever the size of its circumference, the centre always remains a tiny point. If we transpose this reality to the spiritual sphere, we can say that the circumference represents the soul, which has the capacity to expand to infinity, whereas the central point represents the spirit. The spirit is non-dimensional, but it has this special property of vibrating so intensely that it is present everywhere at the same time. The spirit is non-dimensional because it is not material, whereas the soul is. Of course, the soul is not made of the thick material of the physical plane with which we are familiar, but of the primordial material which is pure light. The spirit can create nothing without the matter of the soul in which it is enclosed. And when physicists undertake to split the atom, all they are doing symbolically is freeing the spirit, the forces that are imprisoned in the matter of the soul.
