In the Jewish tradition the circumcision is a ritual done to signify the child’s entrance into the timeless covenant with God. What is that covenant? In the context of Judaism, the covenant is an agreement with God. “When the rainbow (the symbol of the covenant) appears I will remember the everlasting covenant between me and all living beings.” (Genesis 9:16)
In P-A the covenant speaks to the question posed by Albert Einstein. Is the Universe friendly? The Universe is perfectly friendly, and this is what the covenant tells us. The covenant is wonderfully good news and we should know about it and hopefully come to “feel” it. That means that P-A is perfect and friendly.
As Gary Zukav understands, “You cannot, and will not, encounter a circumstance, or a single moment, that does not serve directly and immediately the need of your soul [True self] to heal, to come into wholeness.”[i] The contract we have with the Universe is unbreakable and covers every possible contingency and properly understood it would eliminate all fear which is the root cause of all human suffering.
