The Still Point
Along with the established Christian symbol, the “Still Point” represents the point where the human Spirit and Holy Spirit of God meet, within man, and then expand out to God beyond man, beyond the Self.
This is thus not a closed mandala, which Jungians tend to prefer; we are not limited to the Self but to the outer dimensions of God.
Traditionalists do not, or can not, or will not reconcile or integrate good and evil, only the gift of God can help them to accept the incomprehensible, or can reconcile these dimensions. To them only conversion can reconcile good and evil, not evolution.
It is not faith alone, or conversion alone, or grace alone, that can reconcile "good and evil," or spirit and matter, important as they are, it is the evolution of the material to the spiritual, to Godhood, which will finally reconcile good and evil, spirit and matter.
