I doubt whether, in the directions of the Circle degrees, actual geographical directions (eg North, South, East, West) are all that important; they are, in any case, highly ambiguous. What are important are the self-referential Circle directions of Up, Down, Left, Right, and behind and before; and as a combination of all these, Inward and Outward (to and from the Spirit). There is a major change of axis built in: the face of the Circle swings overhead so that Left and Right are still the same, but F (Father-Creator) has gone Up [sic], I (Individual-Universe) has come down [sic], and C and A~ are at front and back respectively.* This is the traditional view of things, and the way in which the [O] is usually perceived – ie overhead.**

**[Presumably, the Individual usually perceives the [O] overhead as from the I (Low)*** position, so the [O] is as usually represented in these Journals, ie C Up, A~ Down, G~ Left, M~ Right, and F the most High*** above and beyond the plane of the [O], directly opposite to I. It is not completely clear that this is what this Journal entry is saying.]
