Two key concepts that explain the essence of life are the concepts of time and space. Movement through time and space, according to one way of thinking, enters the path of circular motion in a close and predictable system. According to another, for the humans, movement has a linear path in an open and unpredictable system. A compromise between these two extreme positions of understanding development is symbolized by a spiral - it attempts to open a close system, to bring it back to almost the same position but also to lead it in a direction of development and movement towards new forms. So, a circle, a spiral and a ray are symbols of understanding progression in time which has its beginning. In this paper, the problem of development is presented through the symbolism of a spiral. In the context of monotheistic religions, the beginning is given by the creation of the world and counting of the days. A spiral is established in time by a cycle of weeks. The second message of the Old Testament comes from the fall into sin. Since then, through knowledge of the good and the evil, the spiral has unwound in two directions, a direction of life and a direction of death, and their battlefield are the Earth and the Being.
