The Spiral of Life

In this issue of ‘Spread the Insanity’ we explore the original circle, triangle and square philosophy derived from the martial art of Aikido. Much attention is paid to the philosophy of the circle, or blending. To blend seamlessly with your opponent or to flow with circumstance without stopping to think can be symbolized by the circle. To meet energy with the same amount of force is considered to be circular blending.

Please review ‘Spread’ and this issue’s members’ article in ‘Train the Trainer’ for more information.

The circle represents the cyclical nature of things BUT it fails in one respect to symbolize the ever changing nature of things. You see things just don’t return to their beginnings unchanged. Once a cycle is complete the ‘new beginning’ cannot be compared to the previous starting point. The circle fails to symbolize the ever changing order of things regardless of their cyclical behaviour.
