Re: Theos-World Re: Pi as a fractional number?

Leon,
Thanks for your comments as always. I use the expression "energy creation" 
as an alternate to the creation that begins with appearance of Mulaprakriti 
which as I now recall my comments of an earlier post T. S. Rao in one of his 
papers online describes as the view of the Logos when the Logos views as 
perception the Absolute and is the root illusion as it is then once removed from the 
Absolute and is the "veil" that enables the apparency of a creation to begin 
to come into a form of perceptive appearance. you always are certain to mention 
"motion" and motion moderates and mediates impermanance and imperfection is 
viz the energy creation in it's downword cascading presentments of perception. 
The sun's light takes 510 seconds to reach our eye on earth so the sun is not 
where we perceive it but actually 95,014,530 miles further west on the plane 
of the ecliptic, this is equal to 109.97052 Solar Diameters of 864,000 miles, 
none of us has ever really seen the actual sun rise or set where it actually 
is. Although we describe the earth as in orbit around the sun the orbit is never 
a closed circle but a serpentine spiral, the sun also follows a similar 
motion. the nucleus of atoms are in motion and the electrons in orbot around them 
also are in a serpentine capture not closed circles. the Sine of the planets, 
sun, moon all are not closed circles but only appear to be.
When I was in grade school in Chicago I had a math teacher named Mr. 
Tomich and he said PI was an infinite number then. I guess my view is based on what 
he and what I have read in the years since that accounts for my viewpoint. I 
am not a Mathematician, beleive me, it is one of my failings in this life. But 
trying to answer your question about a purist mathematical circle it seems 
they would use "Pi" formula to arrive and due to Pi never reaching an end to 
it's decimal value it cannot be a perfect mathematical Circle because Pi cannot 
be perfected just because the infinitesemal amount that Pi decimal value is 
incomplete of a final decimal value. 

As in term of the Absolute Absolute there are no circles to found in my 
personal view, the zero point of which I have little actual mathematical skill 
in regard to seems to me to be perceptually outside the Absolute and must 
therefore be in the subtle realm of Mulaprakriti serving much in the way that 
Buddhic Principle acts as the intermediary vehicle functionally, again remembering 
that there is motion and it is the motion that mediates the point that begins 
to extend as line but then is mediated by motion to become the curve, the 
curve become the spiral but circles are unclosed due to motion,time, vectors, yet 
have the analog of circle to our mindedness. By the "first and smallest 
expansion of any line" where is it found? within the Absolute or without of the 
Absolute in your view? My view is as I stated above and due to that even the most 
minute motion is of the nature of impernanace and imperfection becuase it is 
removed from the ture Home of Being.

John
