From a square to circle worldview
By zevi770 · October 18, 2011
We build in squares, we even think linear, but the truth is God builds and thinks in circles.
A linier thinking creates a box, but a circular thinking creates a cycle, a rotation, a beginning middle and end.
To see the difference in these approaches one need only look at the thinking format of great mystics such as Rabbi Schneersohn.
A lone Rabbi coming from Russia managed to inspire literally millions of Jews and tens of millions of gentiles.
With his humility but unwavering trust in God he revolutionized apologetic Judaism and promoted proud Judaism, from a worldview plagued with scientific doubts he created a paradigm where Judaism’s worldview supersedes scrutiny due to its truth and now scientific worldviews are plagued with doubts, but ultimately he was a uniter, someone who saw beyond the dissimilar to the similar, who could in the words of New York times journalist Harvey Swados “could melt a blizzard.”
Now let us look at linear thinking and where better then to start with scientific thinkers.
Whenever one comes to objectively observe something they are at a conundrum quandary which goes like this, is the matter I seek to dissect in of itself the end goal or is the end goal enhanced by the matter.
In a nice way this can succinctly be summed up in the classic fable of a mystic who comes to a lake and see ripples creating concentric circles – he said – there are two ways of understanding what happened, one is to analyse who threw in the rock that created these ripples, the other why.
In the why all answers are found, but even the most sophisticated Einsteinium mind arrives no closer at truth than a simple child (and in fact the child’s genuineness is far closer to truth, goodness and God ) then the sophisticated mind, for no how or who, explains why.
