In mathematics the branch of geometry is said to deal with the properties (i.e. size, shape, and portion) and relationships of lines, surfaces, and solids in space. By knowing the principles of geometry it helps us to understand certain fundamental characteristics and rules, making practical problems easier for us to solve.
Although geometry is often identified with the Greeks, it was the Ta-Meraens (Egyptians) who utilized it some 5,000 years before them. Besides using geometry to build the pyramids, the Ta-Meraens (Egyptians) also used geometry for land surveying and establishing boundaries throughout their empire. There are 3 geometrical theorems that were used by the Ta-Meraens (Egyptians) in their engineering endeavors, of which the Greeks still had issues with applying. These theorems were: trisecting the angle, doubling the cube, and squaring the circle.
The texbook meaning of “sqauring the circle” is “to find a method of constructing a sqaure exactly equal in area to a given circle.” The ancient Ta-Meraens (Egyptians) not only applied these theorems to their own physical reality, the theorems had a philosophical and spiritual aspect also. This dual concept can also be used in explaining the 3 basic geometrical figures of the triangle, the square, and the circle.
Symbolically the meshulash (Hebrew: triangle) represents the Grand Architect of the Universe (God); the chug (Hebrew: circle) represents the spiritual dimension; the ribbua (Hebrew: square) represents matter or the physical dimension. Other correlations for these geometric figures are: triangle = our inherent Divinity, our Triune Self (i.e. Doer-Thinker-Knower), and fire or energy; square = our bodies, the Earth, and morality; circle = our minds, our immediate surroundings, our spheres of influence (i.e. home, work, school, or place of worship).
To square the circle philosophically is to effectively manifest ideas we formulate in our minds. Since chug (the circle) also symbolizes us as the “restricted presence of God,” or what we call “El” (God), and ribbua (the square) symbolizes our authority as “Lord of the Earth,” or what we call “Adonai,” to square the circle spiritually is to demonstrate the divine attributes of mercy, kindness, and discernment in our interactions with others.
This unique way of the ancient Ta-Meraens (Egyptians) viewing themselves as intricate components of the cosmos was the central ideology that formed the foundation of the sciences and religions we study today. Understanding mada sephiroth (Hebrew: mathematics) is essential for us in our identifying, analyzing, and solving certain problems we are faced with. Obviously the underlying factor of making any “calculations,” or assessment, is critical thinking. It is our God-mind that we should obey and submit to, because in doing so we can earnestly fulfill our obligation to uplift fallen humanity.
