‘When he drew a circle on the face of the deep’ - commentary
In the book of Proverbs, Wisdom begins to speak and says, 'When the Eternal drew a circle on the face of the deep, I was there'. What does this circle represent? It represents the limits God drew to create the world, and in that sense we can say that, in order to create, he set himself boundaries. To set oneself boundaries means to enclose oneself in a universe that functions and evolves according to its own laws. It means ignoring what exists outside, beyond this universe. The laws of life that science studies are nothing other than the limits God imposed on himself for his creation. These limits are what give matter its structure, form, outline and cohesion. A world not contained within limits would be unstable and could not survive, for inside these limits all matter is in movement and seeks only to escape. God drew a circle as a container for his own substance. The circle is a magical line. In its centre, God placed the nucleus of creation, and his work began.
