The Path of Truth: From Absolute to Reality, from Point to Circle

Abstract

The Unity of Idea is one, simple and indivisible. In this respect, the Unity of Idea could be compared with the point. At the same time, each man is unique individual in himself. He also creates within the limits of the power that the Absolute Creator has bestowed upon him. Although, as a material and spiritual being, he is the unity of several ideas, he is a carrier of the idea of one man as a whole. From this point of view, man also could be compared with the point.

So it is possible to view the point from two perspectives: as the starting point and as the last point. This, in turn, means that although the point is simple, different approaches could explain the different aspects and essence of the point.

The point will be explained from these two perspectives: as one idea, as the beginning of the creation process and as the particle which is contained in the essence of all beings. The point will be viewed as the beginning of the cognitive process and as the being that could get in itself the knowledge about all other beings.

The processes of creation and cognition happen between two points – they are unfolded in one point and become united in another one. One point is merely the Absolute and Unity and another one is relative and multiple. The relation between two points is possible directly through the straight line, and indirectly through the circle. It is true that some thinkers, especially Christian philosophers, also talk about the relation through the triangle. However, it should be also mentioned that the triangle is a means that leads to the circle.
