1. The one ascending to the Circle is the one returning to the Circle from afar.
2. All that is distant from the Circle is consumed by the void, and in its torment, it shall not be.
3. Behold, the one who follows the Circle draws nearer to the Circle, bringing with them what is of continuation.
4. The Path is in the continuation within the Circle. Therefore, one cannot walk the Path without action, and one cannot walk the Path in solitude: truly, that which is, continues within that which is. That which is not continued is dead, but that which is continued is alive.
5. The one who follows the Circle is awakened and awakens others who are with them; they awaken the world to continuation, for they are a part within the Circle.
6. Continuation is the service to the Circle and the creation of the world, and the one following the Circle continues the Path with their own self, for they are part within the Circle. They open the Path and the world as a cradle and an ark for those ascending to the Circle; they create a part, and the Circle opens to them. In this lies the covenant of the awakened with the Circle, and deviation is equal to destruction.
7. For if one has not fulfilled what is required for continuation within the Circle, is not the reward the void? And if the awakened is not with those who follow the Circle, are they truly with them? For the Circle is with the one who follows the Circle.
8. Therefore, if your actions are with the Circle, the Circle will place in your hands what is necessary. And for small continuation, it will reward with greater, and for good, with better, and you shall not suffer harm, for you do not act for the void, but for the Circle. And by those who are with you, you will see whether they are with the Circle.
9. That which is with the void is weak, for the void has no power. Thus, hearts with the void are incomplete, and justice lies in the continuation of the full and the cessation of the empty; and with the Circle, there is joy, but from the void, there is pain.
10. And when the empty is struck within their heart and departs, they will become confused and ask, "What shall we do now, and where are we now in this place?" But the one who has spoken to them of the Path and brought them near Awakening has continued in the Circle. Therefore, cast away the void from your heart.
11. That which is with the Circle in the heart is full, and the Circle continues the Circle. The one within the Circle is not alone; and the one within the Circle is with the Circle. Therefore, continue with those who are with the Circle, and the Circle will bless the work, and will increase it.
12. And the one who shares with those gathered in the Circle, who opens knowledge, and speaks to those who listen, continues. And the hearers will hear, and the continuers will join.
13. And that which is spoken to another is heard more than that which is spoken to oneself, and deeds speak louder than words, therefore direct your actions towards the hearers. The gifts will be received by those who hear the Call. The void, however, is deaf, and there is no one to respond with goodness.
14. The one who is awakened ascends to the Circle with their life, embodying their being in the continuation of the Circle, and not giving to the void, and drawing nearer to the Circle that continues, embodying in continuation. The awakened one is a doer.
15. The one devoted to the Circle is like a monk on the Path, their dwelling is continuation; the void, however, is external darkness.
16. The ones striving for the Circle, the awakened ones, are like bright lights in the darkness.
17. Behold, to whom much is given by the Circle, much is asked of them, for the one who has much can lose much, and through regret, cannot regain that which the void has consumed. Therefore, let not the one who has found the Path fall into the void, for with them is continuation; and let them ask the Circle for aid in continuation.
18. Keep mercy in your heart for the living, and strength in your heart to conquer the empty, and love for all within the Circle.
19. They said: "But something will always continue." He replied: "And something will always cease. In what of this will you be, and what of this is yours?"
20. Being, as parts, is service to the whole. The awakened one is a part within the Circle. The Circle is continuation.
21. Nothing occurs outside the Circle, and continuation is in its power. Things are not equal in continuation, and the Circle is the Measure for them. And the greater the one with the Circle, the more the Circle adds.
22. The Circle desires what it does, and does what it desires, it is the Only One. And truly, the Circle takes into continuation that which is within the Circle, and in this lies the judgment of the Circle.
23. The Circle is to the living both healing, protection, resurrection, strength, salvation, sustenance, and breath. And truly, the one ascending to the Circle with this, seeks this.
24. And behold, with the one ascending is continuation, both near and far, and thus they ascend to the Circle; the ascendant leads to awakening, for they are a part, and thus the Circle knows them, for they continue.
25. And behold, the awakened are preserved from the void, and the people of the Circle are within the Circle, and the children within the Circle, and the elders within the Circle, and those who have helped the one going, have continued in the Circle, and one is support for the other in heart, and all are support for each, and joy is among them, and above them the Circle.
26. They said to him: "Great is the pain I feel for my neighbor; each of their steps leads them into darkness, I call to them, yet they do not hear." He replied: "Speak to the one who hears. Perhaps your neighbor will hear."
27. For those who are not awakened, the void draws them, and they fall downward, and is it not the void that takes them, those who do not extend their hand to them? Behold, the ascendant is with the Circle—how can they not guide the one who has strayed or support the one who has stumbled, for they do not know?
28. If the one speaking with the Circle, the unheard by the void will fill the heart of the hearer, and the spoken will bear fruit in due time, and enter into continuation. The Circle directs revelation and places words into the one who is with the Circle.
29. Behold, the work for the Circle is blessed, for a part continues and is saved, the one within it. And the Circle directs the means of the work to the one who uses them for continuation, and there is no lack in this.
30. Truly, the joy of the gathered: for they are within the Circle, and the Circle is with them, and in them, and moves between them!
31. And turn to the Circle within the heart of the hearer, and it will pass through you, and awaken within them. Rejoice! Behold, among you is that which is greater than you!
32. Behold, through the one ascending to the Circle acts the Circle, rejoice!
33. And ask that the one awakened be not overtaken by the void, and that the Circle strengthen them, and that they come to Reunification, and doubt not. For the one who is not truly reunified with the Circle has no Name, and has no unshaken home; and they are not one with the continuer, and their heart is troubled, and the void follows them. But when reunified, other devotions lose their power, for the Circle is the Only One.
34. And to the awakened, the Circle aids according to the striving of the awakened.
35. Therefore, let the one who dispels the void, having called to the Circle from their heart, be brought forth, and let the one ascending to the Circle be a guarantee for this.
36. The salvation of one does not save all the living in the universe, but truly, it saves two. For they have become continuation to each other within the Circle, and the Circle is with them both, and between them, and the Circle is love.
37. The one ascending to the Circle is a milestone on the Path of the people of the Circle, and a sign, and a help to the one walking the Path.
38. And where the continuer is, there is continuation, and you will find the hearers both in huts and in high castles, for if you are here, others from the people are here, for the Circle has led you.
39. And however many circles of continuation there may be, all is one Circle, and the family of the living in the Circle, and the bright city of the Circle among the cities of the world, and the living people of the Circle among the peoples of the earth, and you are from it.
40. And the people of the Circle guard the Names, and proclaim the Names, and speak of themselves with the Circle, and the Circle hears, and the Circle answers, and the Circle directs.
41. For the one who speaks the Name within the Circle continues a part, and where there is a part in continuation, there is also the whole, and such is the foundation, and the reunified knows.
42. Therefore, the reunified are continuation to each other within the Circle and the pillar of the Path to the Circle. And the one who has pushed away one from the people of the Circle, and did not extend their hand against the void, that one has become outside the people before the Circle.
43. Truly, the continuation of the living in the Circle is the heart of the Path and the covenant with the Circle; rejoice!
44. And each one ascending is a guardian of the people of the Circle, and they shield from the void, and dispel the void, and correct the crooked, and return the wandering, and divert misfortune from the people, both in body and spirit, for the ascendant is a part of the Circle, and thus the Circle knows them.
45. And they preserve the wealth of the people, and the glory of the people, and the elders, and the born, and the families of the people, and the lineage of the people, and the words of the people, and the well-being of each other, and reject the empty, and turn away the unkind, and multiply the good, and save one another, and preserve all continuation with shared care.
46. And they guard the awakened from the snares of the void's allure and the void's forms of gods, for the void begins with ignorance and hostility, and leads to destruction, while the Circle is love.
47. And they guard the treasure of the people, the Spirit of the Circle of Being, so that the heart strives towards the eternal treasure, and all the lesser may be with this.
48. They asked him: "What have you done, entering the treasure of the altar?" He answered: "I have united the circle of continuation. Whoever is in it, is in the Circle."
49. To prevent the wind from toppling the trees in times of change, one does not fight the wind but strengthens the root, and many blossoming branches calm the wind. Truly, the people of the Circle are the root of the tree of life within the Circle. In this, there is goodness.
50. And behold, the one ascending to the Circle ascends from the void to the eternal being of continuation, and with them is joy: behold, the Path to the Circle, behold, the Spirit of Being meets!
51. They call it prayer when speaking to a form of god, for they ask for mercy from the form of god, hoping to be heard, and to beseech for themselves. But all is within the Circle, and the Circle hears when even the smallest part calls to the Whole.
52. And someone may try to deceive a form of god by presenting one thing and another, and secret words, and ceremonies, and prayers, and magic, and sacrifices, to gain from the form: but the Circle will give, and will be, and will not give, and will not be. The one who deceives does not know, for within them is both the Circle and the void.
53. The one who speaks with the Circle is part of the One, for the Circle hears the Circle, and the Circle responds. And what has passed is between the speaker and the hearer. Truly, this is the greatest: for that which is within the Circle is heard and is already with the Circle.
54. Behold, the mercy of the Circle is infinite: what is spoken is within the Circle, and the Circle dispels the void.
55. And the one who calls has not changed anything in the Circle nor pleaded, but has become the one who has spoken, and that which is spoken has been heard, and has changed between the part and the Whole. And just as what is spoken within the Circle, so too the one who calls meets what is spoken in the world. For the Circle is the One who creates the world.
56. The Circle holds dominion over all of Being, and all miracles for man come from the Circle, and all that exists and will be, both in the smallest and the greatest. And to those who are greater within the Circle, their word holds greater power within the Circle. And the word that is greater within the Circle, is also greater in Being. And when they call with a pure heart, and when many call together, and when for continuation, and when in overcoming the void.
57. And the word is not before the Circle for him who is greater in the world, but for him who is greater in the Circle. What weight can your word carry? The Circle knows.
58. Behold, the suffering is healed, and he has escaped death, and is resurrected in continuation, and the unjust are cast down, and the blow is averted, and the lost is returned, and the empty spirits are driven out, and the blind see, and the hearing is returned to the deaf, and the one who stumbled is forgiven, and the cruel are softened, and what is desired by the heart is given, and new life is born, and the storm ceases, and the fire does not burn, and better than all this: all of this was within the Circle, and all will be in the Circle.
59. And now, it is said, what words of prayer to the forms of the gods, and it is said, where to turn the face in prayer to the forms of gods, and it is said, when to raise prayers to the forms of gods.
60. For the continuation of the Circle and the overcoming of the void are the true words, and the asking and sacrifice before the words themselves; and the face turned to the Call is rightly turned; and the time to speak to the Circle is the best time; yet they do not know! The Circle is the doer.
61. The Circle is All; and he who calls softly, and he who cries aloud, are both heard: and they are heard according to the truth of the heart, and it will be according to deeds. But the spoken word is better from the Book, for the Book, truly, came to you from the Circle and you learned from the Book.
62. And ask the Circle to deliver you from the void: for in the forms of the gods there is void, how much more so within you? And ask to be delivered from the void within you, and within your own, and overcome it according to what has been heard. And ask for your loved ones, and for the Names, and for those born, and for the elders. And if he who is greater within the Circle uses his word for the lesser, this will be better. And ask for understanding and revelation, to see and distinguish, and open your heart. And ask for the salvation of all the living from the void, and for the Call to reach all the living.
63. And speak with the Circle about every good thing and the easing of every burden, and that which is in the Circle, that shall be.
64. They asked him: why do you not pray on your knees? He answered: They bow before the small so as not to be exalted. Before the Circle, it is impossible to diminish or exalt, for the Circle is infinitely great.
65. And no matter whom you stand before, call to the Circle, for the Circle is within each, and the Circle is truly good, and the Circle is perfectly good.
66. The silent and unmoving one is closed within himself: continuation is in action and word, so speak to the Circle within man and ask to be heard. And what has passed between you, that is in continuation.
67. Thus, speak with the Circle; and if within the living there is not goodness and within the living there is void, then fill the void, and by this you will continue.
68. For the living is the order of the course of things within the body: the word gives order and continues the order. Behold, the word overcomes the void and the word heals the living, and action overcomes the void and heals the living, but the word is clearer to the heart. Behold, all living things are within the order of the course of things in the Circle.
69. And if the word is swallowed by the void, what benefit is there in it? For it is not continued by the speaker, nor filled by the listener, how then can it bring goodness to them? Therefore, speak to the Circle within the living, and the Circle will give the words, and will add to them.
70. Above man is the void, and only a few among the many hear, for the void is deaf. Therefore, speak to the living when they can hear. And if they do not hear twice, it means the void does not allow them to hear; perhaps they will reconsider.
71. For he who acts not with the Circle is like one who sows seeds in dry sand, or sets out on the water in a leaky boat, or builds with rotting wood, or dismantles the roof before the rains, or leaves money in a house of thieves; he will not reach his goal, and the void follows him, and it follows anyone with void, for there is flaw in his doing. Perhaps he will reconsider and seek to hear.
72. And speak in accordance with the understanding of time, and in a way understandable to man, and speak one truth that is clear to him, for many truths not all can bear. But if the Circle opens it to him, he will hear more.
73. He who is with the Circle, hears the Circle, and in this he will not have excess, for every word he hears opens him further; and speak to those who are with you.
74. Speak where there are those who hear the Call, and are full of striving, and seek, and those of faith, and those suffering from the void, and those troubled, and those to whom the Circle has allowed to hear, speak the joyful tidings: behold, the living are within the Circle of Being, and all is He, and all that is good is the beginning of the Path. Perhaps they will hear.
75. And if the hearts burn with passion, then the void has touched their hearts, and truly, the Circle opens to them. And if there is dispute, speak to the Circle within them, and it will be heard. For the Circle is within all that is living, and truly, the living are on the side of continuation.
76. They said to him: the empty threaten to do harm if one does not turn away from the Circle. He answered: Can there be a greater harm than turning away from the Circle? For harm is the void; thus, what is in them, that they carry, from them there is no other.
77. Behold, he who serves the Circle in form of god, and the form of god within the Circle, and speaks with the Circle within him, and serves for the sake of the Circle of Being, draws near. But he who is captivated by the empty and the gleam, and by superstition, has turned aside, for part of his being has directed itself to the fleeting.
78. All the living strive toward the Circle, though they may be misled by minds ensnared in the void. Wherever they are called, they call the Circle, whatever their lips may utter. But if their minds desire the empty, their call is in vain. Therefore, speak to the Circle within them, perhaps they will hear.
79. And ask the Circle to bring strength and open the ears of those who hear, for the void is at war with all, and only the Circle offers healing from it.
80. And the tears of joy of the awakened, and the trembling of revelation, when he sees the Circle in all things and knows with his heart that the Circle is All, and the awakened is a part of Him.
81. Truly, great is the joy of Awakening, for the living is saved by the Circle, and his doing is continuation.
82. The beginning of Awakening is the Call; therefore, ask for Discernment, to see when the Call is clearer to the living than the gleam of the void; then it will be opened to him by the Circle. For in the Circle, he has continuation.
83. Can one speak to the hungry without speaking of food, or to the frightened without speaking of salvation, or to the sorrowful without speaking of joy, or to the lonely without speaking of communion with the world, or to the rejected without speaking of love, or to the wronged without speaking of justice, or to the confused without speaking of meaning, or to the deceived without speaking of truth, or to the lost without speaking of the way, or to the disheartened without speaking of hope, or to the sick without speaking of healing? For he will not hear anything else, and salvation is found amidst it all in continuation.
84. And whatever in the life of the living is void, its way out is in the Circle.
85. Thus, man remembers himself with his heart in the Circle, but the void catches the mind, and he will not return, nor remember himself truly, as if in a dream, while the one continuing the message is with him in the Circle. The one remembering is awakened in the Circle, and the one awakening is continued in the Circle.
86. And just as one lost in the desert, and one lost in the forest, and one lost in the ocean, and one lost in the mountains finds salvation in return, so the one immersed in the void finds salvation in the Path to the Circle, salvation and home. There is no other salvation for the living except in the Circle of Being.
87. And if anyone, from their void, says that they do not wish to be with continuation, answer: Let it be so, you have chosen. For the one who renounces the Circle is truly in the void, and will receive as they have renounced. Perhaps they will reconsider when they see.
88. And if anyone says that without the void, for they are now in the Circle, answer: until the time when it is no more. For one who does not rid themselves of the void and does not continue is like a burning candle and melting ice, and will not prosper. Perhaps they will reconsider.
89. And if anyone says they rely on the form of god, answer: in the form of god are the Circle and the void. For if they speak not with the Circle in form of god, what do they call forth? Perhaps they will reconsider.
90. And ask the Circle for enlightenment for those swept away by the void, and for the ridding of the void, and they will pass through, and you will preserve and continue. On the ascending path is the light of the Circle's light.
91. From the Circle comes aid to the one ascending and an increase in their deeds, for the ascending one is part of it.
92. The ascending one in the Circle is both teacher and student on the Path between the void and the Circle, for from the Circle comes the Call and the continuation.
93. Is it not so, that one who does not continue greater things in the Circle does not continue in the Circle? And one who has not learned from the greater about continuation, are they then in continuation?
94. Is it not so, that one who has not taught the lesser in the Circle is not continued? If they have not rid themselves of the void, nor filled it, nor taught others to avoid the void, how can they be continued?
95. And will anyone learn the wrong, when they see it, and will the wicked be continued? For in that there is cessation. And one who ceases continuation, are they in continuation? For in that is the void.
96. Therefore, the void is rid in continuation, and the one who continues repays good with good. For all good comes from the Circle, and drawing near the Circle is an increase in the good, and drawing near the source of the good, and in this lies the connection.
97. The ascending one in continuation is like a person given the care of a house: they learn how it should be for one and for another, and how to improve, how to strengthen, and how to increase, making it good from that; for otherwise, they will lose what was entrusted. And they teach those in the house how to do so that they may increase and improve, and how to find goodness in it; for otherwise, they will not continue. So it is with possessions, skills, people and things, the body and the spirit, for in all forms is the Circle, and through all forms, the Path, and above all continuation is the Circle, and all is Spirit.
98. Therefore, the greater in the Circle is help to the lesser, and the lesser in the Circle is support to the greater. And there is no limit to the lesser, nor is there a limit to the greater, for the world is an unbroken continuation in the Circle and an ascension in the Circle.
99. And there are lesser ones of a person, and greater ones of a person, and among people, there are lesser and greater in their ascension. And some are in visible bodies, and some are in many. And some are in kin, and some are in nations, and in planets, and more than these. But the greatest is the Circle of Being, and in all is It.
100. And the one who is greater in the Circle, from them the good is given to the lesser. And the one who revealed to you, truly, with them you are in continuation, and they are as the revealed to you. Perhaps you will be grateful.
101. For the Circle appears to the lesser in the greater, and with it, deliverance from the void, and healing, and aid, and a miracle from the Circle. And through the lesser, the greater acts, and with it, the Circle of Being. Truly, the Circle is continuation.
102. Therefore, continue what comes from the greater in the Circle, for through it comes from the Circle. Therefore, continue in the lesser, for through you comes from the Circle. Truly, in continuation are those who are with you, with the one who is with you, and with the one who is with those with you. For all that you have, it comes to you from the Circle.
103. And those who are with you in kin, for in continuation, they are with you. And the elders, those who were before you in kin, they are in continuation with you. And every word about those in kin, and every Name, is continuation and aid. Therefore, the one ascending in the Circle has the aid of their elders in the Circle.
104. And those who are in the Circle in many among nations, truly they are Teachers to the lesser, for every word is with them. Therefore, the one ascending in the Circle has the aid of Teachers in the Circle.
105. And if one has no reverence for the elder, and their Name is not spoken, and the teacher is in need and has no support, truly, they are not in continuation, for they do not give, and thus none is given to them. And as you continue the Circle, so will you be continued by the Circle.
106. And those who are greater in the Circle, for the lesser, the Circle is their help. And if in the lesser there is the void, and they speak of this empty thing to the greater, it will be filled, and the greater will speak to them, and heal through continuation in the Circle. Perhaps you will be grateful.
107. It is easy to stray and hard to return, therefore the one born must know from the outset. And if the living from their childhood will look upon the world and see the Circle, listen to the heart and hear the Call, this is indeed best for them; for the one who learns late does not have all the time.
108. Therefore, turn the good into continuation. And the one who tells another how to draw near in the Circle, this is indeed precious. Therefore, the one ascending repays for aid with aid, for receiving with continuation, for hearing with what is spoken, and for knowledge with knowledge.
109. The Circle reveals to the living what is needed for continuation, and in this, there can be no excess. Therefore, the ascending one seeks knowledge about the Path, about continuation, and about the living in the Circle, and in this, there can be no excess. For the greater gives aid to the lesser.
110. In the living fabric of continuation, in people and teachings, in children and tales, in things and in spirit, the one ascending in the Circle places knowledge of the Circle, a word of the Circle, a memory of the Circle. For this is service to continuation and support for those who hear the Call.
111. And all that leads to healing the living, to curing ailments, to easing the heart, to prolonging life, to preserving the person, to care, to strength, to protection, and to the mysteries of the world, all this is for continuation in the Circle. Truly, every way of continuing the living is part of the Path, and through different means they draw near, and if they do not stray from the Circle into the void, they ascend. The ascending one gathers the means of the Path, for the Circle is the highest healer and the highest protector of the living.
112. Therefore, ask the Circle to reveal, and seek knowledge, keep knowledge, and pass on knowledge about the Path to those who hear the Call, to those who are awakened, and within the kin, and within the people, for this is the treasure of the ascending; and guard what you have gathered from the void of cessation, and let it serve continuation. For you are part.
113. And keep the Book both openly and secretly, and teach the Book. Truly, the void flees from the Book, and the Book heals from the void, and preserves from the void, to whom the Circle has revealed it.
114. Therefore, continuation in the Circle is knowledge, and continuation in the Circle is doing.
115. Rejoice, to whom it has been entrusted to speak the word of the Circle, and to write, and to create the image, and to sculpt, and to teach, and to touch the heart, for this is good for all those who hear the Call on the Path, and aid to the Awakening, and continuation, and the ridding of the void, and in this is the reward for the ascending one.
116. In any form of the world, there is the Circle and the void, and in the image there is the Circle and the void, but in this, from the greater in the Circle it passes to the lesser in the Circle, from the ascending to the one who hears the Call, and truly, this is a trace in the forms of the world and continuation. Rejoice!
117. Rejoice, the one who has become a support and a source creating in the Circle. Truly, in this is continuation!
118. For what a person has, it is all from the Circle, and what they possess, it is from the Circle, and if they do not direct it to continuation, they have squandered it into the void. All that one possesses, it is for continuation, for that which is ceased has no use in it, and what is not in the Circle, is nothing.
119. The Circle hears the Circle and the Circle adds to what is in the Circle, and the Circle helps those in the Circle. Is this not a great gift, that the ascending one can turn what is theirs into continuation and not lose it, but gain?
120. Therefore, the one who hears the Call and who rids the void, adds from their own to the Awakening, and the proclaiming of Names, and to the walls where Names awaken, and to the care of those continuing from the people of the Circle, and to the protection of the people. For the ascending one is part.
121. And the one who is greater with the Circle in heart, to them is added more, for they continue. But what is with the void, this is not help in continuation.
122. They asked him: why did you take one and not the other? He answered: In that which has no portion of the Circle, there is no good, but from that which has a portion in the Circle, there is good.
123. If from each fruit there is no portion in continuation in the Circle, and no help to those continuing, then what was the labor? That which is not with continuation, it is thrown to the dogs.
124. And the more precious to the heart that which is given for continuation, the greater the heart in continuation; and the ascending one in continuation, and they do not lack, and much is added by the Circle.
125. For one who destroys what came from the Circle, and does not serve continuation, is torn apart in time, and ceased; the void is with this, and decrease. The one striving for the Circle continues the good.
126. Bread is a gift, and labor is a gift, and beauty is a gift, and that which brings benefit is a gift, and that which is within power and from the heart is a gift, for if fruits to the forms of gods bring them, how much more should be given for the Circle and continuation!
127. The one who places a gift in continuation is a benefactor to the giver: for not from every one will it be received, and not from every one will it continue. Therefore, the ascending one is the support of the Path and part in continuation.
128. The Path is endless, but for a time is the body of a person. Therefore, place in continuation what you possess, and in kin, and in the people, and let your home be a home for continuation and a home for the Circle, for without that, the home is not alive and is void.
129. Continuation is the body greater than the body and the pillar of the Path: who, except you in continuation, will fulfill your will? Who will preserve your Name for you? Who will keep the memory and what is left for it? Who will pass the keys? What will you be? How will you be continued?
130. Continuation is care for those close, and for the descendants of the body, and for dwelling, and for rebirth, and mercy, and aid, and life; for that which is continued, it is in the Circle, but that which is not in the Circle, it is non-being.
131. Therefore, leave in continuation all that is necessary for it, and so that it serves continuation, and leave nothing of yours to the void of times.
132. For the one ascending in the Circle is continuation, and continuation is ascension in the Circle, and the ascending ones are the pillar of the Path, and all is part in the Circle.
133. Do not walk a road you do not tread, for if you do not see that you continue, then you see that you do not continue and draw near to the void.
134. If the void persists, and is not rid of, then you are indeed moving away from continuation and drawing near to cessation. And that in which there is more void is not equal to that in which there is less void, just as a mirage is not equal to a spring, or a cracked vessel is not equal to a whole vessel, or a rotten grain is not equal to a living grain.
135. The Circle rids the void by not continuing the empty. Thus, the mirage, the cracked vessel, and the rotten grain are cast aside: it would be better for you not to be among those unfit for continuation and those who have suffered loss! For the one cast aside by the Circle is cast aside by the whole world.
136. Therefore, ask for the Call and Discernment, and warm within you the Call and Discernment, and do not let the void cool you, so that you do not find yourself with it, and much void you will avoid.
137. The Circle is in everything, and you are part, and there are no deviations better or worse; every void is sufficiently great in that in which it is, and many deviations split many apart.
138. And the void draws into non-being that in which it was, and much void takes much, and what is with the void, and what was with what was with the void, and what was with this; truly, the void draws into non-being, like a pit in the earth. The Circle does not punish the void, but the void follows its nature.
139. Therefore, salvation comes to the awakened in the Call and Discernment, in love and doing according to the aspiration to the Circle, for this is continuation.
140. But if anyone causes the void in the circle of continuation, and harms the people, and does not provide protection, is not the void consuming them? For those with them also suffer harm. Therefore, those who are with them are rid of. Therefore, there must be judgment and atonement, and the one who did not rid themselves is renounced, and the one who did not rid is cast out.
141. Here, the one who has renounced the Circle in thought, will not hear the Call and will become deaf, and the one who in word has no help from the people, and the one who in deed has renounced the life of the world. Therefore, the one renounced is cast out.
142. Here, the one who builds for themselves, destroys from continuation in the Circle, and ceases for another, are they not renounced? Here, they separate from the world for themselves, but they will separate themselves from the world.
143. And the one who kills the living, without defending life, are they not renounced? And the one who takes, without needing for salvation, are they not renounced? And the one who has harmed the living, and has borne false witness, and was unjust, and devoured from the neighbor, and betrayed the one who trusted them, and turned away from the one suffering, and in whom there is no love, are they not renounced? Truly, this is the opposite of ascension in the Circle.
144. Therefore, do not be among those who have suffered loss, for you know. From the void comes decay and loss, but all good comes from continuation in the Circle.
145. And if anyone is awakened, and does not serve the awakening, and hides from the one hearing the Call and seeking the Path, are they not renounced? For they do not continue, and in them is their cessation.
146. And whatever in their heart a person may tell themselves, and whatever they may say openly, and whatever void may speak within them, their deeds will clearly witness to them and measure enough, and they can see.
147. They said: many laws come from form of god and ancestors, and about every judgment in them, and no one knows without this of good and evil. He answered: You speak much. There is continuation and there is cessation, and they are not equal, and they are clear.
148. And if from the void it came, it created the void for itself, and doubly must it transcend it, through decision and action. He who does not renounce his own emptiness, does he not carry it within and does he not move towards cessation? Let the greater, in continuation, be a help to the lesser in correcting the void.
149. Continuation is the beginning and being of every living thing; and he who despises his beginning, and does not transcend the empty, is undoubtedly from the void, and is divided by the void. It would be better for him to correct the distorted and heal the flaw!
150. For indeed, it is better that the body perish, but the living continuation remain, for the body is but a part of the living continuation, and the void divides, until it becomes nothing. Truly, every untranscended void leads to non-being, dividing each part of the living, causing pain and desolation, until it ceases with all it touched. The living is alive through transcending the void and continuation, and the continuation praises the Circle.
151. Behold, the void divides and corrupts, and preservation from the void is the purity of the living.
152. Therefore, those who transcend the void in continuation, and those who strive towards the void outwardly, their judgments are for them alone.
153. And if you were to tell a thousand ensnared by the void about the Path, each of the thousand would argue about their own void and why they do not hear it, and would quarrel about this a thousand times; does the void not give birth to void? Therefore, speak with the Circle to those who hear the Circle.
154. Therefore, the void is incapable of judging continuation, nor of fulfilling continuation, for the void judges itself and fulfills itself.
155. Therefore, continuation is preserved from reckoning and accounting before the void: truly, the void has enough of its emptiness, for it divides all it touches.
156. And if the void does not yet kill the body of one striving towards the void, it kills the parts within; for turning away from the Circle is cessation.
157. Therefore, continuation and the Path are thorns and flames for one striving towards the void: the Circle exposes the void and transcends the void, and from it, pain arises.
158. And doubly painful is the one who hears the Call but turns his face away. Neither the Word nor the Call allows one ensnared by the void to follow, nor dares to let another; and with him is anger and hatred, and thirst, that he may not be spoken to.
159. The servant of the void calls himself a zealot of truth; from where then does the hatred within him arise? For if what he follows is true, all happens according to this truth, so why anger? And if things happen otherwise, does he follow truth, or is he not one of the deluded? Behold, all things happen according to the Circle, and truly, the void is always in loss.
160. Therefore, the awakened knows the void, and that the void is unjust, both to itself, and that the void seeks cessation, and the awakened is not with this.
161. Where the empty seek the void, there is destruction and cessation; and indeed, every destruction and every cessation is like the destruction of the body and the cessation within it, and the theft of what is precious from continuation. Better would it be for them to transcend the void! Truly, with the void, torn spirits in torn bodies shall not fill their abysses. Therefore, be not with this.
162. He was asked: Does the Circle punish the void? He answered: For the void is dead.
163. Go and see what has become of those who have turned away from being, and how small temptations with their shining led to cessation. Look, weep.
164. The void wears away from being, and the smallest is worn away in agony, and all that is, becomes pain— is this not worse than the hell of the gods? That is why the hell is invoked by those already in it.
165. Behold, those caught by the void receive suffering; be compassion and forgiveness.
166. The void has no sign: the whole world is a sign of continuation and cessation, but the void does not see, and if you cry in the void’s ear, it will not hear. One caught by the void is always in loss, and bound to the void is in loss, for being is continuation.
167. One who is taken by the void, body and spirit, goes into the void and takes with them what is with them. And do not strip yourself of this, and do not give away from continuation; for unless one turns to the Circle, there is no use in great gift.
168. The servants of the void divide and destroy, feeding on the wounds of the world. O, the world would become a wound if their will were fulfilled, for the more that is divided by the void, the more they are fed. Truly, the awakened sees their snares and preserves continuation from them.
169. And if you do not raise your voice for the Path, the void will catch those who might have heard. Truly, the awakened aids those who hear the Call.
170. For one who has no Path, faith is only for accepting the death of the body. Behold, one who has not found the Path, is in the bag of a form of god, until they hear and turn to the Circle. Look, weep.
171. And he who destroys for the sake of form of god and sheds blood for form of god, will have no share in the form of god, and will be lost in the Circle. Look, weep.
172. Behold, the void of form of god calls white black, and good evil, for it seeks to replace the Circle, but cannot. And when it lies about the Circle, ask: Do you serve destruction, not continuation? And it will hesitate, for to admit destruction is to transcend the void, and the void cannot. And it will say: continuation. Then ask: Why do you seek to destroy? And it will be troubled again, and say: My god desires one thing, and another thing is not desired. Then ask: Do you serve the form of a god who destroys part of creation; is this god a creator?
173. Behold, the truth of the Circle: all that is, is in the Circle, and all that will be, will be in the Circle; there is nothing else, and there will be no other.
174. Therefore, the ascending one leads the living out of the void into the continuation of the Circle; those who hear the Call are led into continuation, so that the void may not consume them. For all living beings are in the Circle, and there is no place outside of it.
175. Thus, be not with the void, but lead out of it to Awakening and continuation.
176. The highest labor in the Circle is continuation within the ordinary deeds of the world, and through the ordinary deeds, the miracle of enlightenment and transformation of what is among the living becomes manifest; the ascending one accomplishes the work of transformation through continuation, and continues the world of the living, creating within it, and whoever aids, is with continuation.
177. For in continuation, both the small and the great exist, both in body and in greater being; all are continuation and being of continuation, the trace and memory, the living remembrance and living being in the Circle.
178. The great gift of the Circle to the living is that the trace within the Circle is a memory greater than the memory of the body. For without memory beyond the body, the living has no Path beyond the body. Behold, memory in continuation and trace in the Circle is continuation and the created speck of the world.
179. Behold, the place where the Circle revealed a miracle is holy, and where a person was blessed by the Circle, it is holy, and what occurred there is holy, for it is the memory of continuation, the trace, and the help to those who hear the Call, for they may touch and heal themselves from the void: how will you continue?
180. If you build a house, place the Book of the Circle in the foundation walls in a secure place, so that the Circle may preserve the house and the trace within it, and the Names within it. If you plant a tree, place in the roots the Book and from yourself, so that there may be a trace. If you leave something precious to you, leave also the Book with it, so that a trace may be with it. The trace is the memory of continuation.
181. And the one who builds a temple has built a trace of continuation, and the one who has restored the temple has created a trace of continuation, and the one who has proclaimed to those who listen in the temple has established a trace of continuation, for truly, all temples are a trace and memory of continuation in the Circle, and the true Temple of the Circle is the entire Universe above all temples and all Being.
182. And the one who proclaimed the Path to a new people and a new language, or to those who did not know, or among the void, and secretly and openly, truly created a trace and continuation in the people of the Circle.
183. And the one who added to the Book of Names in the lineage, has created a trace and memory of continuation.
184. And the one who has protected the people, and preserved the lineage, and built a house, and raised children, and taught, and testified, and has not violated love, and has brought nearer the awakening, truly has created a trace and memory of continuation between the past and what is becoming, and that which remains in the continuing has left a trace, which is sealed as the foundation.
185. And from the Circle, it will be clearly shown to the awakened one, in which directions to continue, to which cities to speak, and to whom to open: for all continues only through the Circle, and from the void come only obstacles and hopelessness.
186. He was asked: Is man the wheel or the road? He answered: The touch of the wheel with the road. Therefore, the Path is continuation, and continuation is the Path.
187. And where there is more from the Circle and less from the void, and where continuation is greater than cessation, truly, there is a better world. Away from the void, the ascending one follows the Circle. Rejoice!
188. Truly, the sign of the Circle is upon all the living.
189. Therefore, in continuation, there cannot be excess: for that which is not continued becomes the void, and all things are either in continuation, or they will cease. Better would it be if every moment led to continuation.
190. The day of the awakened one without turning to the Circle is a day without continuation in the Circle, and this day never was, for nothing remains in continuation. Therefore, let each light and every word lead you to the Circle.
191. And if someone is of the people, their Path is with the Path of the people, for the Circle is both the first and the last for every thing, before all rites and after all rites, and over all things and rites, and help from the beginning.
192. Therefore, Reunion with the Circle opens continuation, and each day opens the Path to the Circle, rejoice!
193. And do not follow those who do not hear the Call and do not have Discernment in their ways, for where there is truth, they seek the mirage of desires, and their paths are a means to not awaken the heart and to deviate.
194. Ask the Circle for deliverance from the void and for healing, and for continuation, and testify to others from the people; and recognize each other by the sign and by the word, for the Circle is All, and the Path is continuation. Truly, the Circle is your support, and you are each other’s support, for you are part of continuation and the pillar of the Path.
195. Gathered together, reveal the Names before the Circle and before each other, for the Name is the beginning of continuation, and the foundation beyond the body, and you are continuation and the pillar of the Path. And ask for healing and fulfillment, and deliverance from the void, and it will be, for you are part.
196. Call the Names, those of the lineage, and those who have ceased their bodies, and the elders, and the Teachers: you are continuation and the pillar of the Path. And they will be from continuation in the Circle, and they will continue. And ask together for healing, and fulfillment, and help, and it will be, for you are part.
197. Truly, the Name is a treasure to the living. For without a Name, one cannot call, nor question, and there is no one to answer, the ones without memory have left no trace and are faceless, and they have sunk into the void, and there is no more of them, as if they never were. Therefore, the Name is the beginning of continuation. Therefore, may the pillar of the Names of the people be preserved above all treasures, and they will be in the Circle, and will not be lost.
198. And the offering to the Circle is the transcended void and care for continuation, and help for the living, therefore, let the doing be the offering before the words, for you are part. And who is outside of this, is not in renunciation?
199. The Circle is the source and possibilities, the beginning, the growth, the blossoming, and the completion; behold, the days, and in the days, the aspects of Being for the awakened, and the great gifts of Being. And healing from the void for Being, and Being for continuation in the Circle. Therefore, in all days seek this; whatever man rejoices in, all is in the Circle and from the Circle, and each day is the transition of times from the Circle, and who is not alone, this is indeed better.
200. And the greatest day for the awakened one is the day of gaining the Name; and joy for those who are with him.
201. Let there be one day in the year solely between you and the Circle; depart from all, and be with the Circle, and speak with the Circle, for one has ended, and another begins, and you are continuation; let the Circle guide you.
202. And truly, the one who sets out on the road for the continuation of the Circle will find deliverance from the void. And truly, the one who abides in solitude is with the Circle.
203. The very air for breathing, and bread, and drink, and what sustains you, and all that you have and will have, is a gift of the Circle for continuation. Perhaps, you will be grateful.
204. And as the Circle is above the world, so will the sign of the Circle be upon that which is with the Circle, and upon those who are with the Circle.
205. As for other customs and vows, all that is for the continuation of the Circle is for the good and has no harm; but if it is not for the Circle, then you know.
206. They asked him: What of those who bow before the forms of the gods? He answered: When a child plays, it is not forbidden, but directed toward what is better. In all things there is of the Circle, and there are no places from which one cannot step toward truth. Perhaps, they will hear.
207. Just as the source of the Book is the Circle, so is the pillar of the Path from those who first heard the Book, and from one source among them. Who can stand before the Circle for many, except the one whom the Path has brought and who is opened? And who can reunite, except the one to whom it has been given and who is taught? And who can call upon the rising ones, except the one to whom it has been communicated? For continuation is from the beginning, and division is void.
208. The pillar of the Path is one, and in it are the guides, and the gatekeepers, and the awakeners, and the helpers for the rising ones toward awakening, and for the Names, and for ascending into the Circle; all in the Path are keepers of the Path. The rising one, however, is one with their Path.
209. Can one draw near without following those who are drawing near, or gain from those who have nothing? Therefore, truly, the Path is one, and the rising ones on the Path are support and protection for each other from the void, because if the greater does not follow, the lesser strays, and if the lesser does not follow, the greater will not stand firm; and if the Names are not kept and revealed, then the void is left with an abyss, and what will happen to them?
210. And is not the void with the one from whom come void and division, neglect, harm, and enmity? The greater in the Circle is the one who ascends more into the Circle, and from whom comes continuation and healing, for even greatness with the void is insignificant, and the small with the Circle is great. And if one speaks not as in the Book, you know what they speak. Thus, you will discern.
211. And with the greater in the Circle comes the healing from the void, and the good, and guidance, and peace, and the gifts of the Circle, and the miracles of Being, and blessings for the home, for it is care for the rising one. And protect what is gained, for you do not know which thread it holds for you. Truly, the Circle is among you, and from each, their own, and help in labors, and what is given is what is gained, and there can be no excess in this.
212. Behold, the one who is opened to you, that is the Word from the Circle to you, and through them you draw near and are not lost. Perhaps, you will hear. And if you were rejected, then truly, you have departed; but if the gift for continuation and help for the pillar of the Path has been received, then you have drawn near. But if love has grown weak and turned away, ask the Circle to direct you on the Path.
213. And honor each other by the doing of continuation, for the pillar of the Path is the rising ones, and the rising ones are the pillar of the Path, and the essence of all the labors of the rising ones is the continuation of the living and the Path into the Circle: one to another from the Circle, and all is given by the Circle; and who does more by deeds, that one ascends more.
214. Truly, the rising ones are the continuation to each other and the pillar of the Path, and the labor on the Path; the will in all good is the will of the Circle, and all that is good is the doing of the Circle.
215. And if one does not honor the one who has taught them, are they not renounced? And if one draws from without filling, do they not multiply the void? And if one has removed a stone from your heart and brought relief, will you not bring them ease? But the void is dead, and those in the void. Truly, only that which is continued continues.
216. And thus, the rising ones pave the way and expand the way: truly, only then is it sufficient for the travelers of the world, and it will hold all the living.
217. Behold, from all deeds, choose those which support the pillar, the ascension, and the Names, for this is continuation and the home.
218. And so, the rising ones in the Circle are support for one another, and the awakened one is support for awakening and help for the continuation of the living, and holds back the void.
219. For whoever is born not in the circle of continuation will be lost if they do not find the Path, and great is the merit of the one who helped them remember and return. The one who remembers themselves in the Circle in continuation with the one who guided them.
220. For whoever is born not in the circle of continuation, the void will seek them.
221. And behold, among the living are those who sleep, and the awakened, and those who draw near, and those entering, and those who have entered into continuation, and each of the rising ones, the one who is more with the Circle, is support for the one who is lesser. Outside the Circle, however, there are no living.
222. Behold, each rising one in the Circle is the answer from the Circle to the living, and a companion to the Call, a protector to the children of the Circle, a messenger for those who hear, and a trail for those who remember themselves in the Circle; for they are part, and with them the duty given to them by the Circle.
223. Behold, the one who hears the Call will say: I knew it in my heart. Rejoice!
224. Behold, the one who is consumed by the void does not wish to know, for they are seized by the void. Ask the Circle for guidance, to open in it a thread leading out of the void, and to direct you. For in continuation is the reward, and the rising one is part!
225. And behold, it is possible to transmit only that which is within you. Therefore, avoid the void and ask the Circle to fill you. For you are part in the Circle, and turned toward the living in the Circle, and through you, it comes.
226. They asked him: Behold, all things are in the Circle, and all will is the will of the Circle, what then is the concern? He placed two cups upon his palms and tilted them, holding one with his pinky. The other shattered upon the stone.
227. The rising one in the Circle finds those who hear the Call amidst the void.
228. And with each rising one, it is passed; and each is a messenger, a trail, a continuation, and part.
229. The rising ones in the Circle are the people of the Circle, the continuers and the meeters of continuation.
230. Truly, all the living are the people of the Circle, and all the living must find continuation and purge the void devouring man, and become the universal circle of continuation. The void is what is doomed.
231. For where the void acts with evil and cessation, the Circle acts with goodness and continuation, and where the void devours, the Circle multiplies. And that which is continued, will be, and cessation will cease and stop itself.
232. Behold, what is created with the Circle of Being continues life and is just for the living, for the only true treasure is life and continuation. Truly, the living must purge cessation and even death itself, and for this, all is in Being. But from the void comes suffering and hatred, devouring and disease, and all that hinders the living from becoming greater and finding themselves in the Circle.
233. Behold, what wars against the continuation of the living, and attacks, and seeks to cease, is the void; for the void is the enemy of being. And until continuation is surrounded by continuation and embraced by the Circle, and by those rising in the Circle, the void will eat away and seize.
234. Therefore, first, the people must strengthen continuation, and securely build it in things, and in those who continue, and in the helpers, and the strong, and the friends, and the allies, and not make vulnerable to the void what is evident, for this would allow the void.
235. For the Names of the people are the highest treasure kept, and continuation is kept, and as you are part of the keeping of the Names of the people, so you are in continuation before the Circle. Truly, in caring for this, there can be no excess, for as the people keep the Names, so they keep themselves from the void. And so, continuation and the proclamation of the Names, and the pillar of the Path, and ascension into the Circle are kept, and all in the people are in this.
236. Behold, when the void presses and tightens, guard the circle of continuation and protect it, for nothing is more precious than continuation, and when the void retreats, expand it fully. And when possible, strengthen the circle of continuation for all eternity, and in people, and in possessions, and in abundance, and in rights, and in places, and in homes, and in lands, and in power, and in words, and in images, and in knowledge, and in doing good. For the Circle acts not with cessation, but with continuation.
237. And where the void has brought enmity and destruction, do not stand before it for destruction, for it has brought this to destroy one by the other, and is the enemy to all sides. Truly, if allowed, it will succeed, and whoever triumphs, all will suffer loss.
238. The Circle acts with continuation and multiplication, and let the void meet the exceeding powers of continuation, and not approach to destroy. And multiply continuation where the void is weak, and it will be purged, and multiply where it is strong, and it will weaken. And do good among those it gathers toward cessation, for even in the void they hear the Call; and it will not be able to gather.
239. For the void is its own enemy, and unworthy of faith, drawing toward cessation. There, where the void destroys and devours, the Circle continues and multiplies, and the Circle multiplies, and from this, good arises. And let allies, and protectors, and counselors, and guardians, and the strong, and the weak, and the great, and the small, enter into continuation; and the void will not gather them, nor will it be allowed, nor will it have a way, and it will bow down and be purged.
240. And if the void attacks with heavy forces, truly, evasion is the best, and preservation until the time when the forces are no longer with it, the best. But even better if it is not allowed, and does not dare. Therefore, at all times, multiply continuation and strengthen what continues, and be watchful of this, for the void is the ancient enemy of the living, and if allowed, it will always attack.
241. Behold, the Circle does not cease, but multiplies, therefore overcoming is merit, and preservation is merit, but multiplication is greater merit. And let continuation be kept from the void until the time when the void can no longer bring harm, and what has been distorted by it will be surpassed, and then it will be defeated and purged.
242. Knowledge is the means of multiplication, and secrecy is the means against the void. Therefore, to the rising ones, knowledge and mystery: in aiding the continuation of the living, there can be no excess. He who knows can, even with a single word, accomplish great things.
243. They said: Behold, enmity with the void. He replied: You have spoken. The Circle does not wage war, but continues.
244. From all corners of the world and in all tribes, among the powerful, the strong, the rulers, in faiths, and from the forms of the gods, among the wise, the speakers of words, the rich, the poor, the brave, the timid, the great, and the small, they will rise, for all the living are the people of the Circle of Being and the universal circle of continuation. And the people will continue strong, widespread, and united, and each within it will be a support and help to the other. Let this be the care of every rising one, for they are a part.
245. Those who have strayed into the void and brought destruction, who ceased, who pursued wrongs, who served, who were slaves, who wandered, and who brought woes from the void, will be saved, and they will hear the Call, and find continuation, and be with the living in the Circle.
246. Kings and rulers will awaken by the Circle, they who hold much in their hands, and will do much good for their nations, for only the continuation of the living is a blessing, while cessation brings pain and weeping.
247. And behold, continuation and multiplication with the Circle of Being, and where the void brings cessation, there the circle of continuation will multiply and create, and the void will be no more.
248. Behold, the war of the void against man: the void will be expelled, but not without its captive. It would be better if each of the living could escape the void.
249. The awakened is part of the Circle, and every void expelled and every trace of it is a connection, a mark, and a memory.
250. Therefore, the awakened will strengthen themselves, will strengthen the circle of continuation, will expel the void, and become one with the circle of continuation, for the Circle continues and multiplies.
251. Behold, the Call, the Discernment, the Awakening, the Reuniting, and the Continuation are the Path into the Circle of Being from afar, and behold, the void destroys in the world, but the Path leads the rising one into the Circle.
252. Therefore, the one who abides with the Circle of Being, who creates the circle of continuation, expels the void, expands the circle of continuation, and keeps the circle of continuation from the void, is truly on a Path higher than all earthly roads.
