Circumcision takes place on the eighth day. Psychologically, this means when you become aware of the truth that the “I Am” in you is God, i.e., pure Being, Life, Awareness; and as you tune in with the Infinite, knowing that the Life-Principle is the Father of all and that all men are your brothers, you will sense your oneness with all life and with all men throughout the world.
