The Circle

Yes, and if a flatlander were to walk on it, the flatlander would
eventually reverse his/her internal organs.

As for a regular strip with ends connected into a circle, imagine yourself
a flatlander, who will see that strip (his/her world) as one long flat
distance, and who cannot discern the curve in the paper. The flatlander
looking "straight ahead" and "straight behind" will see many repetions of
him/herself.

Everything that is within our ability to sense are clues. There's no way
we can grasp the Unknowable. And yet somehow, we know It in our heart.
