1. The Circle called you, but you did not hear, and now you are among the void, searching to save yourself: yet what you seek is the Circle.
2. They asked him: the storm has destroyed the dwelling, did not the void destroy that which is of the Circle? He answered: Has the Circle been interrupted? The void led to destruction in what it was.
3. The void is always false, and always leads to non-being, and the worst void is within man, for the one who follows it is a traitor to himself.
4. Behold, from the void, man says to himself: “I,” and separates from the world. But is not death that which separates from being? Look, for in man all comes from the Circle and is realized in the Circle—what then becomes of the separated?
5. Behold, from the void, man says to himself: “and I,” and begins to war with the world. But is it not the void that wars with the origin of existence? Look, for man himself is continuation in the Circle, while the one who does acts in opposition, distancing himself from the world—what then becomes of the one who distances?
6. Behold, from the void, man says to himself: “not I,” and turns away from the world. But is it not non-being that turns away from being? Look, for in man there is nothing that is not from the Circle—what then becomes of the one who turns away?
7. Behold, man is deceived by himself; the void separates and consumes man. Better would it be for him to ask the Circle for Discernment!
8. For the one who follows the void gathers upon his head burning stones; they will fall and crush him. Thus, without Discernment, he wanders and does not recognize the void within himself.
9. Behold, the void in man is both temptation and ignorance, sweet to the taste, separating and teaching hatred. The one who rises above this is free, and the continuation of the Circle is in him.
10. Truly, compassion and love are with the one who has overcome the void, and he causes no pain but restrains from the void. From the void comes misfortune, and the unfortunate make others unfortunate.
11. And behold, the one who follows the Path removes the void from within himself and removes it from the world, while the one who has not exposed the void is deceived; he betrays himself to emptiness.
12. If something can be continued, and you have not directed it, did you not create the void? If something harms continuation, and you have not cast it aside, did you not create the void? Is there any difference between what is within and what is without?
13. The void on the Path is like deviation, cessation, and retreat. Thus, the one who gives to those striving toward the void gives them continuation. Thus, the one who gives the void within himself gives it continuation. Yet the void does not return what it has taken.
14. Nothing that follows into the void is beneficial, and everything in it is flawed, and there is no reaching the Circle while wasting away in the void. Therefore, Discernment is the light on the Path.
15. For doing that removes the void is doing that continues the Circle; the removal of the void is being, and the removal of the void is joy. The one who knows this sees the Path at every moment.
16. Therefore, ask for Discernment to see what happens by continuing, and what does not happen by ceasing. For one is not equal to the other.
17. From the void comes darkness, and pain, and no way out.
18. And when one is swept by power among people, another by human truth, a third by possession, a fourth by pleasures, truly, in this there is what leads to continuation and what leads to cessation. And one is not equal to the other.
19. The heart seeks to gain the precious, it wishes to touch, it is consumed by doubts, and needs to see what is not false.
20. The Circle continues through all things, and in everything there is cessation and continuation, and only the Circle is the measure. Yet man does not know.
21. Possibility becomes beginning, beginning becomes growth, growth becomes blooming, blooming becomes completion, completion gives birth to possibility—thus is the world created; yet man does not know.
22. Truly, the Circle gives man paths in all things, but if there is void within him, he does not see the paths, and has no way out.
23. And behold, from his own void man is like a fish that has thrown itself out of the river's current: it is on the sand, scorched by the sun, dried by the wind, and there is no way. If only man knew!
24. And if he is drawn into the empty, then his desire is but a phantom, and the agony of thirst, and the pain of unfulfilled hope, and that which is lost from life. Yet continuation is in all things, but he does not see.
25. Therefore, the Circle alone is the true guide, for man does not know until he has accepted the Circle into his heart and opened himself to the Circle, and follows.
26. For that which continues, will be, and that which does not continue, will not be, and this is evident. Is not the Circle the best guide? Behold, it reveals in all things.
27. For continuation is better than cessation, and the foundation of Being.
28. The Circle is the full Source: is it not in the Circle that you are? Is it not from the Circle that you hear? Is it not in the Circle that the Book is? Ask then for Discernment to read it correctly, for the Circle hears.
29. And if the heart is empty, then in the Book you will find support and be strengthened in the Circle, and the Circle is all, and life and joy, and good, and resolution, and strength.
30. For the Call, and Discernment, and Reunification, and the Name, and the Book, and the message, and the word, and who spoke, and who listened, and who heard, and what was said—all are signs and manifest actions of the Circle, in which there is nothing random.
31. Behold, your striving answers the Call, and striving meets the message of the Circle, and one is connected to the other, and Discernment arises from the Circle.
32. The one who disputes the Circle disputes himself; does he not dispute himself, for he is in the Circle? Truly, the void is an enemy to oneself.
33. Behold, the void grasps tightly. Look; weep. The beast in the trap bites off its own paw for freedom; a small price for continuation. Is this man?
34. Look, they think they exist, but they do not, for they do not continue in the world. Look, they cry into the void with hope, but it does not hear and will not respond. Look, they have surrendered, and their time is counted.
35. What of this in you, do you know?
36. Every living being is a temple of the Circle, and the being of the living is its elevation.
37. But the void consumes its own, like fire. And from the burning nest, only those who have learned to fly will escape.
38. Is it easy to expose the void? It is like interruption, and non-being, and rejection, and absence, and unfaithfulness, and confusion, and jealousy, and pain, and the desired sweetness, and fatigue, and loneliness, and pride, and enmity, and greed, and folly, and lust, and the decay of hope, and anger, and self-love, and envy, and division, and the desire to elevate oneself, and deception, and anxiety, and accumulation, and lostness, and seduction, and fear, and resentment, and ignorance, and forgetfulness, and lust for power, and destruction, and weakness, and temptation, and injustice, and despair, and alienation, and hatred, and neglect, and despair, and incompleteness, and loss, and death, and burden, and contempt, and enemy, and cowardice, and lack, and dullness, and the fleeting, and the excess, and the gone, and the mirage, and that which was never. The void is the disruption of the flow of things by flaw: but who with the void, does he see it? He only sees that which reveals his void.
39. And behold, the battle of the empty for emptiness; the Circle continues in this, but the empty will be expunged. If only man had Discernment!
40. And behold, when he has defeated his enemy, and subdued the unyielding, and amassed wealth, and glorified himself, and delighted, and exalted, and convinced himself that he exists in this: what has he gained from continuation in the Circle? For the acquisition of the empty and the ceasing is the wasting of his own.
41. And behold, with you is the throng of things, and wealth, and glory, and merits, and all have a name: past and passing. What is in that now, is it not immeasurably less than the lost? And what is in the Circle does not lose.
42. What then comes from the void is the fruit of hatred before man: for the void is the enemy of being. And where the void is in stone, the corner will collapse, and what is upon it; thus the void is in every form. But the Circle continues, unending; and what continues is the Circle, and continues through the Circle.
43. And there was no prophet who did not expose the void: yet they did not hear him, for in the listeners is the void, and in the judges is the void. Truly, the void takes away hearing.
44. Who then speaks that in things there is nothing except them, and in forms only forms, and they are the true world and the limit of the world, and all in this, truly, he is in the void. He sees the empty and sees not the greater.
45. For in all things there is the Circle and the void, and the forms are parted by the void, and become non-being, but the Circle continues and bears no harm. Thus, apart from the Circle, in forms there is nothing. Thus, every form without the Circle is empty, but the Circle is through the forms. The Circle is All.
46. Therefore, the one seeking things for the sake of things, and forms for the sake of forms, seeks the void; he fills his hands with dust. Better would it be for him to seek continuation!
47. The one who knows of the void of things sees the Path and has Discernment. For the Path is among all things of the world. The Circle is All and through all forms.
48. Thus, the one who gathers the empty and the one who gathers continuation are among things, but in different worlds.
49. Thus, without Discernment, every road leads to non-being, for the void is in every form, and only the Circle in all is support and continuation.
50. All movement has one source, but from the void, part of it diverts to non-being.
51. Your continuation is your life: what will you do to ensure it is with you, and in you, and in people, and in things, and continues in the Circle?
52. Like a spark, continuation passes; like a spark, it extinguishes. And that which is in the Circle passes, that which is in the void, extinguishes. Therefore, ask for Discernment, for without it, you cannot know one and not know the other.
53. And if the body is torn into parts, there is no one in it; who then speaks, and who listens? Behold, you are the continuation between the parts of the body, thus you are created by the Circle. And if there is no continuation between the parts, will not the void consume you?
54. And is not the body made of forms in the Circle, and its food and drink not from the forms of the Circle? Behold, it continues through forms in the Circle and is made by forms in the Circle. Behold, you are continuation in the body, and the Circle continues.
55. And if the parts do not continue, and part from themselves with the void, and have no replacement, will not that which is between them also part? But if the Circle continues, it will not part. Therefore, continuation in the Circle is of that which continues through the Circle.
56. For what is within the Circle is alive, yet the void is death. The beginning is the continuation.
57. Just as a forgotten thought does not remember itself, for it is in non-being, but is awakened by another thought, as the continuation of its being, so too is man. Like a thought, not continued by another thought, will not be recalled, for there is nothing to awaken it, so too is man. Truly, man is the continuation within the Circle between the forms of the Circle, and exists only through the Circle.
58. Just as a thought cannot arise without its foundation, and is imprinted within it, and sustained by it, so too man cannot exist without a foundation, without continuation within it, and without continuation by it. As a thought continues within the Circle, yet is not a thought without the Circle, so too man continues within the Circle and by the will of the Circle.
59. The continued exists between the forms, and through them, and the forms change forms, altering essence and number. At times one continues, at other times another, but the continuation remains the same. And if the void exists, it ceases, becoming non-being. Continuation, however, is the continuation of the Circle. Is it possible to find continuation and be within it without Discernment? Not at all.
60. If the Circle continues, some parts have departed, others have come; truly, the continuation has suffered no harm. But in one it will continue, and in another it will not, and only in the Circle is the difference between them. Therefore, ask for Discernment, and you will see.
61. They asked him: "Here, one man has lost, is this not cessation for the one who has lost? And another has acquired it. Is this not continuation for the one who has acquired it?" He answered: "Each has his own acquisitions, and much lies between them. The one who has lost has lost that which has ceased with it, but has gained the continuation of his being in the one who takes. Perhaps he will not be one of those who have suffered loss! The one who has acquired has gained benefit from what he has received, but it bears the flaw of cessation, and brings him closer to the void; both continuation and cessation are with him. Therefore, the one who does not offer a greater gift for what he has acquired is foolish. For he does not know whether he will fall from the slightest cessation, or where he will fall. The measure of acquisitions and losses belongs to the Circle, and it is the most accurate of counters!"
62. Therefore, the Circle opens the Path to the one who asks, hears the Call, seeks Discernment, banishes the void, and continues.
63. Behold, continuation amidst things, words, deeds, people, spirits, and among all other forms, and the endless histories of being, and joy: truly, only the Circle continues, and what is with the Circle, within the Circle. And those who are within the Circle are spoken of by many mouths and seen by many eyes, and bear the forces of continuation.
64. And behold, being is resurrection through continuation, and there are no interruptions in this: for what is not continued in anything is dead and expelled, and what is expelled from being cannot be resurrected, even if something indistinguishable is created; non-being has no memory. Being is the continuation of being by being. The grace of the Circle is life.
65. And the one who follows the Path banishes the empty, and his continuation is its fruit, and he continues in what is continued, and draws near to the Circle, and truly, he is among the ascending beings.
66. Thus, the one who continues is born within the Circle before the body ceases. And he remains in the Circle, becomes himself, and arises in happy circumstances, bearing continuation, growing, and continuing, and ascending, for he is part of the Circle within the Circle.
67. Behold, before man lies either death or eternal being.
68. Victorious is the living within the Circle: for the living has that which can continue, while the void is dead and has nothing to continue.
69. Therefore, the boundary of the void cannot be crossed backward. Thus, the living is in continuation.
70. The continued is the living, and support unto itself. Behold, your Name within the Circle is part of you within the Circle, and support to you. Is not the Name a living beginning?
71. Behold, earthly kings reign over the body, and what they can destroy is all they rule: in the subjects of kings, the forms are transient. Yet your Name within the Circle and with the Circle, your being within the Circle, is your continuation, and the whole world.
72. Therefore, continuation arises from the beginning, and the beginning lies in the living within the Circle.
73. For even in wars, it is not the slain or the slayers who triumph, but those who preserve continuation, children, the Path, and those who have grown and increased.
74. And behold, kingdoms shall fall, and planets, and worlds: but those within the Circle shall remain. In the Circle, the living continue the living.
75. Truly, to be alive one must leave the dead behind. But is not that which is empty in the heart already dead, though not non-being? For it is already empty and will not continue.
76. By his own emptiness, man is dead, though he may be among the living. The dead are moved by the living, and thus the living are bound to death. What is bound follows from one to the next, yet the dead will not become living. Therefore, the living do not revive the dead, but the dead deaden the living.
77. Why, then, do you carry on your back that which bends you to the ground? For it strives to fall.
78. The halted contains no life; the living is motion in the motion of the world. The world is the living continuation, and everything in it is in continuation and change; and what seems unchanging is unceasing continuation, and its existence is change within continuation, and even the one who learns of a thing thereby changes it and himself. The Circle is life.
79. For there is no immovable in the near or the distant, in the house or the estate, in things or in words, neither on the earth nor in the heavens, and he who binds himself to the dead binds himself to non-being. The Circle is All, and the Circle is Life, and the world is life.
80. Therefore, leave the dead to their emptiness, for it is easier to make the old young than to enter the living with the dead.
81. Behold, man burns in the fire of time, and if he is not saved, the void is his. But salvation is in the Circle!
82. And behold, the true food for man is the Circle, and the true drink for man is the Circle, and the true breath is the Circle, and this is pure, while that which turns aside, turns aside to the void.
83. And behold, to pray to the dead is like speaking to a stone; only the living will answer, and all the living are within the Circle.
84. And behold, the dead lie in their tombs, but what is within the Circle is alive, and what is with the Circle, the Circle will continue.
85. Behold, the one in the void looks upon the dead and does not see how the living from before stands next to him.
86. They said: "Behold, the house is of the dead, and the walls, and the roof." He answered: "The dead disintegrate, the living increase. How have you not distinguished? For the house arises from its life."
87. What do you gaze upon? In the next moment, this will either continue or cease. And, having chosen, you will be with the decaying or with the living. And, not choosing, you will be with one or the other. What you take as support, you shall be with. Therefore, every moment leads man to the Circle or to the void.
88. And the empty void of another seems the worst evil to man, but his own is a temptation. But what you gain from the empty will be taken by the void; what you gain from the Circle will continue.
89. And he who is drawn into the empty with passion is full of passion, yet no matter how he burns, he does nothing; and what is given to him from continuation, he does not see.
90. Behold, the choice is hard due to the emptiness in the heart, but with the Circle it is easy, for it leads out of painful wanderings.
91. Great is the choice between the Circle and the void, for the one who casts aside the empty and follows the Circle is in a different world from those in the void.
92. The paths are open, and the roads innumerable, and all have been traveled by men, and their wanderings within them. Truly, only he who walks them rightly is led by the Circle of Being. Ask, then, for Discernment.
93. For he who is on the Path is part of the Circle, striving toward its source. Those who go into the void are entangled in forces they do not know, and do what they did not intend, and suffer more harm than benefit from them.
94. Therefore, do not allow your heart to believe in illusions, but ask for Discernment, and do not follow the gleam of the void.
95. Woe to those who remember a single coin, but do not care for continuation, and woe to those who gather wealth but do not see the Path, woe to those who seek glory but not eternal being, woe to those who rule but do not guard against the void, woe to those who bring children but do not teach them of salvation; woe to those who waste themselves in the empty, for what is it to them? Is it to be consumed by non-being?
96. And behold, the brilliance in the forms of gods and in the world, and the heart is drawn to reflections, and man leads himself, and all his care is for possession, and the forms of the gods are as the flames of candles, and he is enthralled by them. But the Path lies among all things, and all things are within the Circle!
97. And behold, for the one thirsting for light, there is both the candle and the sun. He who gazes at the candle in his hands will go with it into the darkness, but it will go out. The sun, however, is light for all. So it is with the gleam of the void, Discernment, and following the continuation of the Circle.
98. The answer of the Circle is a flawless gift to man: if hearing can be deceived by its own emptiness, then the answer is born of the Circle, and in it there is no flaw.
99. The Path of the living in the Circle is not determined by form or body, and the knowledge of the Path is precious, for the Circle has revealed it, and in the Circle it has been shown.
100. Truly, knowledge is the most subtle form of continuation, and from the deepest. Rejoice, you who have brought the Circle into being, and have Discernment, and have continuation!
101. Behold, tell the Book to the listener, for you are a witness to the Circle, and equip the one seeking Awakening, for there is no chance in your meeting, and keep the Book, for continuation requires support and healing, and shield it from servants and slaves, for it is hated by the void, and if it ceases once, open it a hundredfold, and carve the Book in stone and gold, for the Circle is eternal, and all of this is continuation.
102. What is about the Circle is above any price; the word, the thought, the book, the image, for they all serve the Path. And he who has discovered in the scriptures of faith and the words of the wise about the Circle has done a great thing: for only the healed from the empty carries good and continuation.
103. And he who has arranged the work of the masters, and sealed it about the Path, has continued.
104. And he who writes, preserves, and passes on is in continuation, and may serve for the salvation of generations even through millennia.
105. And he who speaks to the listener is in continuation, for the unspoken word is dead and has not continued the thought.
106. What you preserve in the continuation is your support within the Circle; is there any other support besides what is in the Circle?
107. Lo, precious is every guide to the Circle: for it is to you as a connecting link, and it shows the Path, and outside the Path there is no salvation.
108. The fate of the void is ignorance, and the less it knows about the continuation, the less it will destroy and corrupt, and the more it will cease to be. Therefore, ask for the Discernment, that you may not be left with the empty.
109. There is what is good, and there is what seems good, and the good is with the Circle, while what seems good is with the void: ask, that you may not mistake one for the other.
110. The Circle continues what comes from the Circle, and joins what the void has separated in the forms of the gods, but what is empty and in the void will not be continued nor united, but will lead to a new void. And just as there is good within the Circle, so there is no good in the void.
111. And who is with the Circle, will not raise a hand against that which is with the Circle, but will guard against the void. Are you this?
112. For even on both sides of battles, the Circle continues, whoever is within the Circle.
113. To whom much is given, much will be asked: the greater the deed, the more destructive the deviation towards the void. Therefore, ask for the Discernment.
114. The forms of the gods and their servants guide the minds of men, gathering for the form of god, and for those with it, and great is this power. Lo, their good is only for themselves, do they not gather for themselves, separating it from the continuation of existence? And they will neither gather nor separate, for their works are fleeting, since the continuation is in the Circle.
115. You cannot gather good from evil, and evil bound in chains remains evil; if the form bears the void, then the chains will be broken in their time. The one who sees with the eyes of the Circle does not gather evil and dispels the void: what is in the Circle is eternal.
116. Lo, the one who gathers the empty leads to the void, whether one or many. And what deviates from the continuation, the void will take. Beware, weep.
117. Therefore, the one who saves the empty also saves the monster and its hunger; but the void will never be satisfied. And whoever allowed the empty, and broke from the continuation, must indeed make recompense twice, to close the wound they made in the world.
118. For whoever gives to destruction, and does not dispel it, is themselves the destroyer, but the one who dispels it has their continuation in the Circle. Good lies in the non-multiplication of the void, in the reduction of the void, and in the continuation.
119. Mercy is called where there is horror and pain, and the mercy of the Circle is in the deliverance from the void. Mercy is called where there is ignorance and the cessation of the future, and the mercy of the Circle is in the deliverance from the void. Is not salvation from the Circle?
120. With the one who is with the Circle, humility of continuation: for they are part of it. And if they are hungry, they ask of the Circle and find sustenance, and if they are with the hungry, they nourish them as well. And if there is the void, they ask of the Circle and overcome it, and save the living from it. For they are part, and if they ask of the Circle, they ask for themselves, and the Circle indeed gives to the asking!
121. Thus, you may do what you can in the Circle. And where the Circle does not reveal itself to a man, the man shall not continue. Lo, the Circle has brought you what it has, and you are part, and the powers are given from the Circle, and if you are not able to do all, then do at least a little, and it will be a miracle through you from the Circle. Will you continue? For what is not in the continuation is in the void.
122. The void is dispelled in the continuation of life. And if one cries from pain, heal the body; and if from anger, heal the heart; and if from oppression and affliction, protect; and if from despair, show the way out, and feed the hungry, and warm the freezing, and save the perishing, and show the Path; and do not multiply the void through action. And choose between two, what is in the continuation of the Circle.
123. And if the void has seized both the bright and the beautiful, the words, and the strings of hearts, then truly, they are but lies and tricks in it. Lo, the one who frees the seized continues.
124. And repay from the Circle for the Circle and continuation for continuation, and good for good, for whoever repays with cessation, serves the void openly.
125. And ease hearts, and open them, for the Circle hears the Circle, and the Circle strengthens the Circle, and lo, the Circle brought you, and there is nothing accidental in this.
126. If you had the means to heal, and concealed it, is this not the void? And if you could save, and did not, is this not the void? And if you had the knowledge of the Path, but kept silent, is this not the void? And if you did not dispel the empty, is this not the void? And if you left it in the void, did you not step into it yourself? For you scattered and lost what was entrusted to you. The measure in the Circle is continuation, and this is above all.
127. And lo, the only sacrifice for the next in the Circle is pride, invoked by the void: for the Circle is worshiped by the dispelling of the void, for the Circle is above all else.
128. They asked him: who is good? He answered: Truly, good is the one who has continued the Circle.
129. And among all the living, those who follow the Circle, there is one.
130. Every thing comes from its cause, and every thing becomes something else: the world happens between one and the other, and is never equal to either. The Circle is the living creation of the world.
131. Here the grain of sand is shifted, here it is lit by the sun, here the water was poured, here the word was spoken, and all is the Circle; you see, the Circle weaves the world, and continues.
132. And is not your thought between one and the other? Yet the living and feeling thought is you.
133. Every thing is a multitude of future causes, and will become them, and will not remain. The one who follows the Circle is cause and continuation, and with the causes of the world, and the creation of the world.
134. And all in the Circle is forms, and among them order, and between them Spirit, and the forms are Spirit, and the order is Spirit, and in the parts, the same.
135. Thus, the Circle is the Creative Spirit, and the one who follows the Circle is part of it. Therefore, the Circle contains All, and the Source of All, and all that is in the Circle belongs to man.
136. The one with the Discernment creates the world and dispels the void, for they are part.
137. A fool is the one who, seeming to care for themselves, does not dispel the void and loses their continuation in the world, for the refuge in the Path is in the Circle, and the Path is the pillar of being. Behold, for those separated from the Circle have fallen, no matter how they fought, their void swallowed them. And if you are not initiated into the Circle within yourself, then where do you go, and is the world with you?
138. Lo, the one who is with the Circle desires the desires of the world, for they are not separated.
139. And they will wish by the water, and the water will fulfill; they will wish by the wind, and the wind will fulfill; they will ask of the Circle, and it will be fulfilled, for they desire that which is in the Circle.
140. The Circle is the Creator of the world, without beginning or end, eternal, and the one with the Circle does the same: they continue being and dispel the void. Truly, there is no other Path. And if life is not in the Circle, then the Circle will not be in life, for the Circle is life.
141. For what does not return in continuation is worn away by the void, like the rim of a wheel, and the source runs dry, and the possible diminishes, and will be scattered.
142. And the one who destroys continuation becomes between causes, and their forces will reveal their emptiness, for the void is dispelled. Better would it be if they had continued!
143. The Circle repays continuation with continuation and salvation with salvation, but the void knows nothing.
144. The world is the Circle, and every form is thought in the Circle, and in every thing is the Spirit of the Circle, but how far is the one separated by the void! And they will not return without the Path, and are lost.
145. Human life is its greatest conversation with the Circle as part with the whole: in life, man speaks with the Creator of the world.
146. And lives, as long as it speaks. The one who ceases is dead. But the one who is continued in the Circle lives.
147. Lo, the one who brings the gift of continuation to the world receives the gift of continuation in the Circle.
148. Only the Circle can return the deviated to the Path, therefore ask in your heart, and the Circle will repay in the world.
149. Love your neighbor and your farthest, for all the living are children of the Circle, no matter how they wander, and all are in the Circle; and if they hear, they will find the Path.
150. And see the void and be its enemy and guardian, and dispel the empty, and command the creation of continuation, and warn against cessation, and create continuation.
151. The void takes away and ceases, but you dissolve the barriers and free, leading out of the void, and do not allow the void.
152. And bear witness to the Circle, and multiply the continuation, and strengthen the Path, and teach the born, and fortify the hearers, for the void is deaf.
153. And continue enough, that the Circle may continue you.
154. Be the one who hears the Call, possessing the Discernment, overcoming the void, continuing, striving towards the Circle.
155. For truth, the bearing of truth, and true actions within the Circle are the service to the Circle and the pillars of the Path.
156. They said to him: we are not convinced. He answered: The Circle continues, the void ceases, no matter what you say.
157. The truth is that the Circle is All.
158. The truth is that the living is form within the Circle.
159. The truth is that in every form there is the Circle and the void.
160. The truth is that the Circle is continuation, and the void is cessation.
161. The truth is that from the void comes pain and non-being, while the Circle is eternal.
162. The truth is that from the Circle comes the Call and the Discernment.
163. The truth is that in everyone lies the Path to the Circle.
164. The truth is that whoever is with the Circle is continued within the Circle.
165. If you look with this discernment, then you see the Circle.
166. Thus, being is the mystery of the Circle.
167. The mystery is that you are part of the Circle and do not know even yourself. The mystery is that the living is part of the Spirit and hears the Call. The mystery is that the one who follows the Call sees with the eyes of the Circle and perceives cessation and continuation, but only continuation is truly real.
168. And the mystery is that the one who is with the Circle sees this, and the one in the void does not: for the gaze of the void always finds the fleeting and the dead instead of the eternal and the living.
169. And when you raise your hand, the movement of the flesh by will is the mystery of continuation, and it lies between the living and the Circle.
170. The mystery is what the Circle imparts to the reunited, and what passes in continuation between people, and what is given to the born, and what continues the elders. Truly, the Circle is life.
171. And the mystery is that the Circle dispels the void, and its Sign is above all being.
172. To the greatest gift is man united: for he may not lose in the void, but preserve and increase what is given in the Circle.
173. Therefore, your conversation with the Circle, and your turning to the Circle, and your continuation within the Circle, is your Path to the Circle.
