118 All words and writings, all knowledge and prophecies, all beliefs and deeds are born from the Call; the Circle is their cause. But can the insignificant contain the greatest?
119 The void of man thinks itself whole; by the measure of its void, man is deaf and blind.
120 Therefore, one who listens to himself hears the void, and one who speaks to himself speaks the void. Can the void create anything else?
121 The Circle is All, and all is the Word of the Circle to the Circle. The Circle in man hears the Circle outside of man. One who listens to the Circle hears the Circle, and one who speaks the heard speaks the Circle.
122 Therefore, without the Circle, there is no truth in what is spoken or heard.
123 Whatever has the void, it is a lie; for it is that which is not.
124 The words of the void about truth are lies; the Word of the Circle about lies is truth.
125 The world is the Revelation of the Circle to the Circle, and the Sign, where the full meaning of each word is contained in the world itself.
126 One word of the Circle is greater than all the words of the sages, for in it there is no void.
127 The void gives birth to ignorance, ignorance gives birth to delusions and the forms of gods, and the forms of gods seal the void.
128 Therefore, do not seek with those who seek forms of gods, for they seek the void. If only they knew!
129 By reading the Circle about the Circle in all, you create a barrier between the empty and yourself.
130 There is a deep chasm between the one who continues the Circle and the one who strives into the void. Look: the void will take its own; weep.
131 One is transient, the other eternal.
132 Therefore, speak with the Circle in all things and in all; for only the Circle is the true conversation partner.
133 He who speaks to the void hears lies and brings the void closer to himself.
134 He who steps into the void is surrounded by shadows and mirages; he follows forms and their gifts – such is his path.
135 The Word of the Circle leads to the Circle, and the Circle is continuation. If you know, you know the Path.
136 The world is the Circle and the unbreakable Word of the Circle, and in words, the Word of the Circle; but the void cannot hear.
137 Oh, how the void hides itself in ignorance and causes pain so as not to hear, and hatred to repel!
138 Its hopelessness is terrifying: life for it is death, and the Circle of Being is its enemy.
139 How it longs to be and how insatiable its thirst! For it is non-being.
140 Therefore, the void corrupts what it cannot kill, and turns away what it cannot stop. Truly, the void is a lie.
141 Listen to the Circle from the Circle, and the spoken from the one who has heard.
142 The Circle is One, Its Word is one, and what is heard from the Circle is one, and in the Circle, all is one.
143 The Circle continues the Circle, and the Word continues the Word. Is not the void distortion, division, and discord? Thus, you will distinguish.
144 They asked him: did not the wise and the fools write about the Circle? He answered: All is the parable of the Circle about the Circle. Listen, bypassing the void, overcoming the void.
145 Do not be filled with food and pleasures, for they pass and are taken by the void, and the heart weeps, loving that which passes.
146 The Circle alone abides: behold, what was yesterday is the same as now and will be henceforth, the Circle continues the Circle, and love remains unchanged.
147 The Circle gives to you and through you to others. The void takes and compels others to take. Action from excess is not the same as action from lack, and continuation is not the same as cessation.
148 The void catches slaves for itself; their reward is nothing. With the Circle, there is everything: children and flesh.
149 Who will direct your deeds and thoughts if not the Circle? It is the Word, living and eternal. Who will bind you to the truly living if not the Circle? Love fills the Call. Whom do you love if not the Circle?
150 Your heart hears the Call, and your heart calls back in response. And indeed, the Circle is the most precise, the most discerning. What do you speak to it?
151 There is no good without the Circle, no evil without the void, and no good standing on the void. The measure of the Circle in a thing is the measure of good in the thing and the measure of good around it. Will you open your heart?
152 For even the evil person, doing good, does so from fullness, while the kind-hearted person, doing evil, does so from emptiness, and there is no other way. One is not equal to the other.
153 Here, the Circle is continuation, the void is destruction and death. The one who saves from death continues, the one who awakens from oblivion continues, the one who frees from wanderings continues. The one who strikes at the void continues. Does your love continue the Circle?
154 Here, the Circle is creation, the void is cessation. The giver of life creates, the one who finds the answer creates, the one who cultivates the field creates. The one who expels the void creates the whole. Does your love create in the Circle?
155 The Circle is giving and multiplication, the void is taking and loss. The speaker of truth gives knowledge, the unifier of forces gives aid, the one who joins multiplies. Does your love multiply the Circle?
156 There is no truth without the Circle, no deception without the void. Will you open your heart?
157 The Call is the love of the Circle and the guiding light to the Circle. Does not the one who knows the Call feel love? Does love guide you to the world?
158 Returning to the Circle is overcoming the void. Dwelling in the Circle is the continuation of the Circle. Do you walk in love?
159 The void is devoid of love. The one walking in the Circle is a warrior.
160 Therefore, deception is a property of the void, truth is a property of the Circle.
161 What is from the Circle is one in the prophets, and one in things, all truths are one Word.
162 Therefore, truth is in everything; the whole world is truth.
163 But can a man know everything? All is contained only in the Circle.
164 One is connected to the other, and you see, and connected to everything, and you do not see. What happens is truth, and you do not know how.
165 One follows the other, and one coincides with the other, and you do not know when.
166 How will the Circle continue? The Circle knows how.
167 The connection of things in the Circle is unfathomable in its fullness. What is in the Circle is connected to all. What was for the Circle is connected forever.
168 To the one looking in the Circle, seeking, striving, much will be revealed. But no matter how much is revealed, immeasurably more belongs to the Circle.
169 The Circle is the source of both knowledge and mysteries.
170 Therefore, look and see.
171 All is question, answer, and truth.
172 Through all the things of the world, the Circle speaks, and through all things, it answers the one in the Circle. To the void, the entire world is false.
173 All is a sign and all is the Circle; outside the Circle, there is nothing.
174 The one speaking with a child, listening to the wind, and watching the flight of birds, equally hears the Circle. But the void sees only its own void.
175 And what happens to you, all is the answer of the Circle. And in all from the Circle, answers to all the questions of the world. And every smallest form is an answer.
176 Therefore, ask for discernment; only by the measure of discernment do you see the Circle; its light is bright.
177 The action of the Circle outside human understanding is a miracle to man. There is no number to them.
178 Void is blind: it sees the full as empty and itself in brilliance, and mirages.
179 Thus, the void is distanced from the Circle in the very heart of being.
180 The one following the Circle sees, and more will be revealed. To the one who has, more is given.
181 Here, you have seen. Ask: did not the Circle of the world create this?
182 All truly occurring miracles are from the Circle: you walk, and they are around you, here they are.
183 Ask the Circle for discernment, so as not to be deceived by the void.
184 Has there ever been a miracle apart from the Circle? What He created, that was. What He did not create, that was not.
185 Therefore, the images of the gods are an unreliable support for the living. For what is not from the Circle will not be. But what is from the Circle will be. The void, however, is unaware of what it will possess.
186 What is not in the Circle, is not. What is, is alive by the Circle.
187 People and forms of gods, temples and palaces, beliefs and countries are alive by the Circle within themselves and dead by the void within themselves.
188 The Circle creates and teaches, the Circle saves from the altar and resurrects, the Circle brings water and fills vessels with food, the Circle allows the fire to descend: truly, all that happens, of which they speak and of which they are silent, comes from the Circle, and all living forces are from the Circle, and the spirits, and the miracles of all the saints!
189 They asked him: they say that their god creates the whole world and signs. He answered: Let their god create good, which would be neither the Circle nor the power of the Circle, or let them tell what was from it. And if they speak the truth, they will praise the Circle, but if falsely, they will expose their void. For all that is good, which was, is clearly from the Circle, and from the void, only evil and mirages. So speak.
190 The one stepping in the Circle sees signs and miracles, for in it is the Circle.
191 The world is the Circle and is His miracle, and in the smallest part of the world is hidden more than man can contain.
192 All paths of the world are the action of the Circle and the creation of the world.
193 Therefore, ask the Circle, and there will be what is from the Circle.
194 Here, it has been shown to you, and you see; what is seen from the Circle is in you. How will you continue?
195 The unspoken causes a burn to the heart; for the barrier within is the void. And if you separate from the world, from deviation grace ceases, and you know.
196 What is in the Circle, continues the Circle; thus, by the Circle, the world is created, and with the one who continues, the blessing of the Circle.
197 How will you preserve what is given to you? How will you become it? How will you continue in the Circle?
198 The Word is continuation, and action is continuation. Be a witness to the speaker and a witness to the doer.
199 Every step is both a weighing and a result; the Circle or the void.
200 They asked him: Has the time of the prophets returned? He answered: I am not a prophet. I have brought the truth, in which anyone can believe. The truth is revealed. The time of the prophets has passed.
The Book of the Circle.
Chapter 3. The Path
1 The Path is the Circle, and the Circle is the Path, if you know.
2 The Circle is the source of life, and life is the action of the Circle within the Circle. The Circle creates life; its cause lies in the continuation of the Circle.
3 For what the Circle does not create, does not exist.
4 All beings are within the Circle and parts of the Circle. The Circle feels every being and knows all beings and things. The Circle is Feeling and Knowledge.
5 Therefore, to the living, the Call of the Circle is apparent; the living is the striving.
6 The Circle is the source of movement, and life is the continuation of the Circle within the Circle. Thus, the Circle is the source of every possibility and every continuation. The Circle is Will.
7 Therefore, with the living, the Will of the Circle is present; the living is action.
8 The living is the union of the forces of the Circle, and creation is the union; their nature is the Circle.
9 Thus, man is life and creation, striving toward the Circle and the movement of the Circle, and form within the Circle.
10 Yet the Circle manifests the void and expels the void, and thus man is creation between the Circle and the void.
11 Man is between the Circle and the void, in him is the Circle and the void, and around him is the Circle and the void.
12 Man is the creation of the Circle. The Path to the Circle is open to man.
13 People are creations of the Circle and the beginning of the Path. If only they knew!
14 When you say to yourself, “Here, I see,” is it not the Circle that sees? Yet the void does not see.
15 Do you not deceive yourself, thinking you are separated when you see? For the Circle is both the seer and the seen.
16 When you say to yourself, “Here, I act,” is it not the Circle that acts? Yet the void does not act.
17 Do you not deceive yourself, thinking you are separated when you act? For all forces are with the Circle, the Circle is both the acting and the moved, and everything is between them.
18 When you say to yourself, “Here, I think,” is it not the Circle that thinks? Yet the void does not think.
19 Do you not deceive yourself, thinking you are separated when you think? For the Circle is both the thinker and the thought.
20 When you say to yourself, “Here, I am filled with feeling,” is it not the Circle that feels? Yet the void does not feel.
21 Do you not deceive yourself, thinking you are separated when you feel? For the Circle is both the feeler and the felt.
22 When you say to yourself, “Here, I live,” is it not the Circle that lives? Yet the void does not live.
23 Do you not deceive yourself, thinking you are separated when you exist? For the Circle is life and existence. Deceptions arise from the void.
24 How do you feel and act with all your members and their parts? Yet your birth is from the Circle, and the connection has not been severed, and you exist.
25 The Circle, touching the Circle, ignited the spark of your being, and in it, your essence. You live by the Circle.
26 The Circle created man and reason as a world within a world, and all worlds are the Circle!
27 Man is both created and creating. His life and existence are from the Circle, while his wandering and death are from the void.
28 Creation is the action of the Circle, and all the power of creation is with the Circle. Truly, the Circle is the Greatest! What is separated from the Circle ceases to be, for the Circle is eternal.
29 Look, the Path to the Circle is the Path away from destruction! Look, the void divides, and the void takes into its non-being!
30 Without entering the Circle, nothing is eternal; but within the Circle, man is created. Therefore, the Call is the love of the Circle.
31 The one who hears the Call is awakened.
32 The Universe is the descent of the Circle; the Circle is the Spirit of the world.
33 When you call the Spirit, do you not know whom you have called? The one calling knows in their heart whom they have called; in the Call, there is no lie.
34 The world is the thought of the Circle, the Circle is within you and outside you.
35 In what depths are you? How do you wander? And yet the Circle is within you, and the Call resounds.
36 There is no grace outside the Circle; He is the giver of all, so seek what is of the Circle in everything.
37 Between the forms of the Circle and the void, man is the child of the Circle. Be filled, as a child.
38 The one who finds the truth becomes the truth. The one who knows this contemplates the Path. The Circle is Truth.
39 Man is above many forms, and many forms are above man.
40 How the desires of the body of man burn! Yet the body is but the form of Spirit and the void, following its own way.
41 The empty will burn and soon will not be; but the Spirit will be. All that will be is Spirit.
42 When man is captivated by the empty, he is captivated because he does not see; he is darkened by the void within him. Gripped by the void, he approaches the desired, looks back, and there is no more path for him.
43 The one who rushes toward the void becomes the void, as he desired. Bitter is this reward and an empty gift! What is not continued by the Circle is not.
44 As waves dissipate in the sand of the shores, so the generations of the living vanish in the void, and they are no more, countless.
45 Eternal is the Source, and lo, they will come again. Perhaps they will hear?
46 The Circle speaks to all, and Its Call protects from the void, if you hear.
47 All is the Word and the Path; the one who hears is drawn nearer to the Circle.
48 Despair to man: all that the heart has loved of the forms of the world will pass and will not return. Look; weep.
49 Joy to man: what is in the Circle will not pass. In the Circle, there is no void.
50 The body is form and time; look, do not follow it. For you have heard the Call. The Circle is the Path.
51 The Spirit of man guides the body, and it is the vessel and the support. Where is your support when the time comes? For in the void, there is no support, or do you not know?
52 The one who follows the Circle reunites with the Circle. He has support; the Circle is in all things and between all things; the Spirit of the world is the Circle.
53 They asked him: how does the Circle not cease, when all in the world is temporary and the void swallows that which ceases? He answered: Separate the water into vessels, unite them – has it increased or decreased, or has it changed or suffered damage? For the forms were and ceased. The Circle is the true waters of the world, He is All and in all, in Him there is no void, unchanging.
54 One passes into another, form disappears, form unites, from forms are made forms, and they separate; the hosts of worlds and creations were and are no more. The Circle is between all, in them, and through all, Truth and Eternity. The one who walks in the Circle continues with the Circle, the one continuing becomes within the Circle.
55 The one who follows the void is like grass: they were and are no more.
56 Who does not hear the Call, who is blind and does not see the Circle, and separates himself, who has no doing, who is neither son nor daughter to the ancestors, who is neither father nor mother to the children, who is neither heir nor guide, who does not bear the Word, who walks alone, who leaves no trace, who exists only in the past and present – how will you continue? How will you be born in the Circle?
57 The one who turned toward the void had the Path, and wandered, had the world, and lost it. Behold; weep.
58 All is the continuation of the Circle; in everything, the Circle continues all that is within it. What is in the Circle is here. What is in the Circle is always.
59 The sun rises, and the birds fly.
60 Do you not see that all is a trace of the Circle within the Circle?
61 When the light of the world was new in your eyes, was not the world within you, and did it not enter you? Or do you not remember? And the world is the Circle.
62 Who remembers, says: “Behold, I departed and was born again.” But where did he remain between this and that, so that one became the other?
63 The Circle continues what is within it; there is no interruption in this. What manifested, continued and manifested again; it was one and became another. What is in the Circle did not depart, but what is not in the Circle, it ceased to be.
64 All is the Circle, and what is in the Circle, is in all. Look!
65 Some remembered and were confirmed, some saw and became holy, some heard and were no longer alone, some remained deaf. The Circle is All, but the void is deaf. What is in the Circle returns; the Circle is filled with voices, and you know. But the one who is empty speaks only to himself, and thus he wanders. Therefore, people are not in agreement.
66 In man, came only that which is continued in the Circle. What then will he remember?
67 Behold, in man is that which the Circle manifested, but the void has no memory. Will he forget, drawn into the void?
68 What is in man with the Circle, that is continued in the Circle. What will be continued, that it may be remembered?
69 With chains, the void has embraced man; chasms and ignorance, and shadows of fear, cessation and blindness, today’s day and in this day, a striving toward the void. Does the one drawn by the void remember what he has?
70 Little of man is continued in the Circle, and little is manifested, for the void does not remember. How much has it consumed!
71 As much as has continued in the Circle, so much remains in memory. If only man were with the Circle!
72 Thus, the Path is narrow.
73 From where have you come here? For there is nothing in the thing, nor in the man, that is not the Circle.
74 Were it not for that which is greater than you, from where would you have come? For you were not here before.
75 Did you not come from that which is greater than you, and that which was here before you?
76 What was linked between things, what was linked between ancestors, what was linked between parents, what was linked within the body? It is joy, behold, it is alive, but it was not there!
77 What was before you, that was linked and became you. Behold, you are created by that which is greater than you.
78 What filled you, where did it come from? You were filled with that which is before your eyes and you were filled with that which was spoken to you; was not this in things and people before you? Behold, you are created by that which is greater than you.
79 From where came that which you have known? There is no source but the Circle; in all things, He is, He guards and guides; He is Reason and Memory.
80 You are joy, who gave it to you? Who spoke it at the beginning? To whom will you give it? Where did it come from, and where will it go, your treasure and living world? Thus, you preserve and continue. The Circle flows through you, He is memory and life, within you and beyond you. You are a part.
81 And what is among men, continuing, comes into men, and remains, and departs into men; thus man is filled, he is joy! Behold, you are created by that which is greater than you!
82 Within you is continuation, you continue within yourself and continue onward, in words, in deeds, in things, in people, and you are a part. The Circle that senses and the Circle that is sensed, thus you have become. How can you be deceived, thinking you are separate? For the Circle is within you, and the Circle is outside you, and you are a part.
83 And so, that which follows the Circle continues; that which follows the void ceases. And behold, it becomes nothing; and behold, it is unheard and unsealed, and lived in vain, and will not be. What is not in the Circle is dead.
84 All that is, has shaped you, and fills you, and you are a part. If you go toward the void, do you not hear the pain?
85 O, the void is deaf. But continuation is in the Circle!
86 Around man is that which continues within him and continues him, and will be. What is continued without loss, that is alive. If only he knew!
87 Look: that which is greater in the Circle, is continued in the greater, and the Circle is in all. Look: that which is aimed at the void scatters and dwindles, and misfortune, and in the void, non-being!
88 Do you see about yourself: in how much are you? In how much do you become? In man, the Circle and the void, and the void manifests and ceases, and its time is numbered, and you know.
