Square
Everything's a circle. One circle is a circle; two circles is a line; three circles is a triangle; four circles is a square; five or six circles is a star. More than one circle is always one circle (from the circle's point of view). Circles turn into lines turn into triangles turn into squares turn into stars turn into circles forever. A square is a special case, version, and/or articulation, of a circle. The square is four circles, or four points of view, on a circle. The square is a circle of lines. The square represents four, five or six. The square is 360 degrees or equivalent to a circle. The square, as four points of view, articulates 'middle.' Triangles and squares are three and four-view versions of the two-view circle. A triangle is a way of seeing the circle in three phases, or from three points of view. The triangle shows us on, off, and in-between, or day, night, and neither, or an observation, its opposite, and the point in-between. A square is a way of seeing the circle in four phases, or from four points of view. The square shows us on, off, moving toward on, and moving toward off; or day, night, moving toward day, and moving toward night; or an observation, its opposite, and the two points in between. Triangles and squares show us two different ways (trick us) to experience middles. The triangle shows us the middle as a single state; the square shows us a middle as a dual state. Though they seem different, circles, triangles and squares are three different ways of seeing the same thing. The relationship between a triangle and a square (a circle divided by three and four) produces male/female, positive/negative, yang/yin. This three-four (Y-X) relationship comes from the relationship of a circumference and its diameter, eternally tied together by pi ('three' or another triangle). The square as a symbol is always pointing to a circle: fire/earth/air/water = intuition/action/thought/feeling = active/passive/conscious/unconscious = light/sound/movement/substance. The square can surround, or be surrounded by, a circle. The square is a special case, or version, of a circle. (Don't let it trick you!) The square is two triangles or two circumferences, one (or two) diameters and, always, one pi. Everything's a circle. The circle is the basis for reality. Follow the square (to the star)...
