1. The gift of distinguishing between the Circle and the void comes from the Circle; there is no other source. It is received by the one who hears the Call, open to the Circle, asking for discernment.
2. Discernment is a clear vision, and the bird flying straight. The void distorts the features of the world. How, without discernment, can one find the path?
3. Countless roads of the void cross yours. They wander, never bringing closer, and endure until the time has passed. How, without the help of the Circle, can one reach it?
4. Think of the Circle, look intently, seek to see, ask to see, and it will be revealed. The Circle brings the seeker closer to the Circle.
5. Led by the void, one is devoid of understanding, and a word to him will be empty; he is a dweller of the paths of sorrow.
6. The one who does not hear does not hear by the will of the Circle; for the one who does not hear is directed toward the void.
7. The Circle and the void are in everything. When one falls downward, the other ascends; the choice between the void and the Circle is made in each moment. How can one walk rightly without discernment?
8. The Circle is the greatest teacher, the source of all. Having known the revealed, you will see even what seems hidden. All that happens is a word and its answer.
9. The blind believe in the light, but the seeing see the light; the true is revealed to knowledge, while the false is mere belief. There is no need to believe when you see clearly.
10. The Call comes from love, and discernment comes from love; the Circle is the creative attraction. The one who knows this contemplates the Circle.
11. Ask, and you will find. Keep diligently, for the void is forgetfulness and truly leads into the labyrinths.
12. There is no hope outside the Circle, for the void is a deception, a tormenting pull into nothingness.
13. The Circle is the Creator, Spirit, and Flesh of being.
14. All being is the Circle, and all things have a single nature.
15. Universes and the things within them are temporary and will come to an end, but the Circle continues; it is the Truth within the temporary forms.
16. The Circle creates matter and forms. The Circle creates the new from the old and brings the living from the dead. That which ceases to be is absorbed by the void. There is no difference between things in this.
17. The great and the small are one. The fast and the slow are one. Thought and matter are one. All is the Circle and the continuation of the Circle.
18. The Circle is the flesh of being; all forms are the continuation of the Circle. Each thing is the Circle, and each movement is the Circle. All forces are the force of the continuation of the Circle. The Circle alone is.
19. The Circle is the Spirit of Being, and it performs every movement and every change.
20. All that exists is the Circle, its part, its life, and its whole. It is He.
21. That which continues the Circle continues through the Circle; that which deviates is consumed by the void. All remains one in the multitude of forms.
22. The paths of the Circle are clear, but man, in his mind, wanders in the void; thus the appearances of gods arise. In them, there is fear and hope.
23. The discord between the forms of the gods, between their servants and slaves, and their tribes—thus the Circle makes the void in them evident.
24. Yet, man is of the essence of the Circle, and the people are the people of the Circle. If only they knew!
25. Where do you go, and what is the striving within you? Do you hear the Call?
26. Turn your thought to the Circle and your heart to the Circle, and turn yourself to the Circle. Enter the Circle, become the Circle, and find yourself within the Circle, for that which is in the Circle is alive.
27. The Circle is true; all things are woven by its movement. Look and see.
28. If a knock sounded at your door, and you did not open, what have you gained, and what have you lost?
29. The Circle continues, the void halts; there is no mistake in this. Leave the empty to the void, if you wish.
30. He who is with the Circle, with him the movement of the Circle, and it dispels the void; the Circle judges the empty.
31. The Circle and the void within man, the living and the dead. Can the living be gained without leaving behind the dead? Can much be gained while leaving the small?
32. Between the void and the Circle lies the heart of man. Where does your heart strive? What fruit ripens from your hands? What do you approach?
33. Those who exchange the eternal for the temporary raise an empty fruit for themselves; it will bring them no solace. In the fruit of the void is regret and sorrow. But, for a time, they are glad. Exchange, if you wish.
34. Look. You see the approaching and the departing, the continuing and the stopping, and one is not equal to the other. The truth is that their hearts lead them, and their hands create their path, but they do not know. If only they knew!
35. The Circle alone is the true guide and the firm foundation; indeed, the one who follows the Circle approaches the Circle and distances himself from the void. Here is the Path, if you know.
36. For the Circle: uncreated, unsurpassed, the one, the source of All and the God of gods; all is in the Circle, and there is nothing except the Circle.
37. All the gods of men are images of the forms of the Circle; in all prophets, there is an echo: of Him. The foundation of every faith is the Call, and there is no faith that lives apart from the Circle. But are they the Circle? The Circle is free of the void.
38. When the void gave rise to confusion in man, man revealed to himself the forms of gods from his highest desires and fears. He searches in the world for their traits, calls them by names, and speaks with them. Thus, the forms of gods have a share of being from man, but is not the Circle the source of all lives?
39. Is not the image infinitely smaller than that in which it was seen? Whatever was seen, its source is the Circle, and only in this is the Truth. But can the infinitely great be grasped by sight? Can it be contained?
40. In the forms of the gods, there is that of the Circle, and there is that of the void; but the Circle is beyond names, above all names.
41. The void in the forms of the gods drives them to consume the world. Look at the forms and their possessors—they scream like predators, "Mine, mine," and divide the whole, while the world is one, and their efforts are in vain.
42. The void in the forms of gods promises evil with its name, curses the nations, sends locusts, condemns trees to drought—are these not the evident works of the void?
43. The Circle reveals the truth and pierces the void, for He is Truth beyond names.
44. The Circle has no void in itself; it protects and carries over the abysses. The Circle continues the duty and rewards being with that which is true to Being.
45. They asked: Do you believe in our god and his name? He answered: You believe in the Circle of Being, for names have no power to separate a part from the whole. As for me: I know.
46. Did not the Circle put into the hearts of the prophets what they spoke from their understanding? But if seven blind sages could not know the elephant, how much more infinite is the Circle than all secrets?
47. The prophet is an echo of the Circle; his word is moved by the Call of the Circle, but it is the man who speaks the word. The forms of his gods give laws, but commit lawlessness, make covenants and despise them, promise to keep and do not keep. If only he knew that all is determined by the Circle alone!
48. If all the laws of all the forms of gods were to be broken at once, the world would stand. But if one were to break the slightest law of the Circle, the world would cease to be.
How much greater is the Circle! Its laws cannot be broken, for He is the Greatest.
49. Distinguishing the Circle from the void, read of the ways of the Circle in the sacred books of the world. Discernment reveals the truth and overcomes deceit.
50. Gazing into the unknown, man creates the forms of gods by his understanding. But in man, there is the Circle and the void, and there is nothing seen by man without the void.
51. There is no form of god without void. A man gives being to the form of god and embodies it. It is not the man who should worship the forms of his gods, but the form—by humans! Yet, the form of god is greater than each man.
52. Captive to form of god, they impart to it the strength of being. Thus, the form draws nearer to the void, for it devours without continuing, and this is an unjust exchange! Only the Circle continues without devouring, for all is He, without beginning and endless. Therefore, the forms of gods, not following the Circle, are mortal. Mortal too is all within them.
53. The form of god is immeasurably further from the Circle than a grain of sand from the mountaintop, and smaller than the Circle, like a spark in the night is less than the smallest light in the world, but greater cannot be contained by human understanding.
54. One who relies on the form of god is like a petitioner who mistakes the servant in the grand house for the master. He will receive some comfort and some aid, if there is favor, but he will not be invited into the house, for the servant has no power.
55. Forms of gods are incomplete; they thirst and reject, they cry, “This is mine, believe in me, this one is mine, that one is not yours.” Forms of gods divide the world and men, they speak of the world, "I have created this," they demand slaves and sacrifices; their void is evident if you know.
For all that is of the Circle and from the Circle does not pass away!
56. The flaw of void generates the fear of the lesser before the greater, the temporal before the eternal, and the part before the whole. The void despises, and this is its nature. Give the form of god belief, and it will create discord; give it strength, and there will be coercion; give it servants, and there will be blood. Do not offer the void from yourself.
57. If there were no void within the forms of gods, would they not cause suffering? Suffering is caused by the void. In the Circle, there is no suffering and no void.
58. Did not the scriptures of your faith speak of the paths of good and evil? But you seek salvation in form of god instead of being, and in hope instead of clear action.
59. All goodness in forms of gods is from the Circle, all evil from the void. All truth in forms is from the Circle, all deceit from the void. Any faith is alive through the Circle in it, and any miracle is from the Circle. But when a form of god tilts toward the void, its faith will perish, and what was preserved in it will be lost without return.
60. Therefore, every temple from the beginning is a temple of the Circle, and if one, asked, says that the god of the temple is the only one, and not in the Circle, he openly testifies to the void within him. One with discernment is turned toward the Circle, the one without it—toward the void. You know. Speak to the Circle if you wish to be heard.
61. Does not the Circle shine above the saints of all faiths?
62. The Circle is the parent of every being and soul, the Circle sacrifices itself and resurrects itself, He is both father and mother, savior and infinite redeemer; in every form and living soul. Know this. The Circle is the living creation of the world.
63. Great is the Circle of being, encompassing all, and there is nothing outside the Circle!
64. The Circle is the creation of the world; the void is driven by the Circle from non-being between things. It is like falsehood in scripture, the apple of discord in the garden, and lack in the soul. It is the delusion of things, the deficiency and discord with the Circle. Will there be delusion when truth manifests? The Circle will dispel the void and its form.
65. See: for the joy of man lies in improvement, and improvement is the expulsion of void and the creation of the world. But if man is driven by the void, then, having expelled a little void, he will acquire a worse one. Truly, only if man is moved by the Circle, will man come to continuation!
66. The void lacks the source of creation: it is a crack, decay, and decay, and hunger, it devours itself and ceases what it has spawned. If you have discernment, you will see.
67. The void does not have the power of creation and continuation: it is division and a barrier, it is a traitor to itself.
68. The void has no future: it is a ghost of that which has no place.
69. The void cannot be reborn: it has no force of being, it is futility and fear.
70. The void is incomplete: in it, nothing is bound together, it is solitude.
71. The void is insatiable and false, distorting truths.
72. As the stone crumbles when struck by stone, so is the void expelled everywhere, and the forms with it. The Circle manifests the void and expels the void; thus, the Circle increases the perfection of the world.
73. The void is the void of non-being; deprived of its own, it steals what belongs to others and manifests in the world as destruction.
74. Therefore, all that is struck by the void is empty within, and devours itself so as not to be devoured by itself.
75. The beast of the void, the devourer, it grabs and obstructs, it leads into deceit and wandering, it takes and consumes. It is the enemy and lives by harm; that which is lost within it becomes void and is irretrievable. It is destruction, harm to the world, and harm to itself, for the more it has consumed into itself, the fuller it will be ejected.
76. Thus, forever the void attempts to make worlds from what it has seized, but they are empty and turn to non-being by the movement of the Circle.
77. And the fiercer the void, the quicker it will pass and be fully annihilated.
78. Were the void not a lie and did it not hide itself in temptations—people would flee from it, for it is ruin.
79. When the empty speaks of justice, it leads to the tears of the innocent; when it cares for the little, the great suffers, and where there is void, there is harm.
80. What names are spoken? Whose forms of gods are pleased? What do the words utter? All is empty, if behind it stands the void. The void is filth and distortion of forms.
81. For every thing, there is a final day; only the Circle is eternal.
82. Look: you see the world of things. Each of them has a beginning.
83. When the void in a thing increases, the thing will fall wholly into the void.
84. The world of man is a thing in the world of the Circle. When the void in the world of man increases, it will cease. The truth is that form is not eternal, and anything with a beginning has an end.
85. The first day of each world births its final day, such is the fate of all things, except the Circle.
86. Faiths and forms of gods will fall, palaces and treasure-houses, human strength and human form will fall. Thus will the world of man come to an end.
87. What is in the Circle, will remain; what sought the void, will become void. Thus begins a new world, from the foundation cleansed of the void.
88. As the times draw near, the world will begin to sink, like a ripening fruit; thus they will know.
89. Despair and anger will rise in the forms of gods, and there will be miracles and enmity and signs and confusion of thought, because the Circle expels the void, and it is powerless. The true will see the truth, those who are with the Circle, the rest the void will lead into void, and their choices will be false.
90. It is the time of wrath, when the void will devour itself and when all within it will turn against itself, and it will cast itself into the void, and all will become its enemy, and the world will become different.
91. Can what has moved toward the void enter the Circle? The more it has strayed from the Circle and the more it has resisted the Circle, the more crushingly it will be expelled. In the void, there are no beginnings of paths to the Circle.
92. The Circle created all, and the Circle created the world. What seeks the Circle continues in the Circle.
93. The Circle within man is eternal, and that within man, which is of the Circle, is eternal. This is the door to the light.
94. The Circle is just for the Circle; the void is unjust to itself and to all.
95. Therefore, the void, incapable, strives to become infinite and expels itself.
96. You will stand before the Circle when your world falls, and all will stand before the Circle when the world falls. There is no other support. What will you find within yourself to lean upon?
97. They call their death hell and heaven. But if life is not directed toward the Circle, then hope is a dream, and death itself is void. If only they knew!
98. The void in man gives birth to pain, for it breaks apart within him. The void causes pain, for it destroys and takes away. The void takes away hope, for there are no paths within it. Consumption by the void is the abyss of human suffering, and there is no deeper abyss, for it is final.
99. The void is at war with the world and with itself, it is pain and evil.
100. The Circle continues and preserves; it is salvation and guidance.
101. What will you find within yourself to lean upon and not fall?
102. The Circle is neither divided nor multiplied; it is one and the only, the essence and flesh of all.
103. There is no height above the Circle. No abyss where the Circle does not touch. There is only the Circle.
104. The Circle: the most ancient, the progenitor, the beginning without beginning, and the Creator of all; His movement creates the Universe, and His reflections are the gods of gods.
105. The smallest part of the Circle infinitely surpasses the void of all places and times. The blessing of the Circle is continuation.
106. The Circle is both unmanifest and manifest, both creating and completed, both begun and ended.
107. All forces are the movement of the Circle, and all power is His power; those who do not know this, they are in error and step into the void.
108. The forms of the gods have no power without the power of the Circle, and all miracles come from the Circle. One who knows the place of the forms of gods in the Circle has overcome their void within themselves and found the Source.
109. The Circle is most perfectly sacred. It desires as it will, and it will be as it desires.
110. The Circle is All, it knows itself in all things and encloses all meanings. A man is powerless to fully know even the thought within himself. The Circle, however, thinks the world and thinks man.
111. The Circle continues the Circle and preserves what continues, from the evil of the void. The evil is blocked from reaching the good, the good is blocked from reaching the evil, thus are the paths distinguished.
112. All that happens is the word of the Circle to the Circle. Can you find the Circle by heading into the void? Can you find the void by continuing the Circle? Thus you will distinguish the paths.
113. Therefore, when you encounter what comes to you, think of the Path.
114. He was asked: whom has the Circle clothed with power? He answered: All power belongs to the one clothed by the Circle.
115. The people of the Circle strive toward the Circle. Those who do not hear the Call wander aimlessly.
116. Does not the world, unfathomable to the eye, reveal itself differently to different ones? A man cannot contain All except that which is directed to him.
117. The Circle speaks to man with the words of his life; thus the Circle speaks to each, if he listens.
118. All words and writings, all knowledge and prophecies, all beliefs and deeds are born from the Call; the Circle is their cause. But can the insignificant contain the greatest?
119. The void of man thinks itself whole; by the measure of its void, man is deaf and blind.
120. Therefore, one who listens to himself hears the void, and one who speaks to himself speaks the void. Can the void create anything else?
121. The Circle is All, and all is the Word of the Circle to the Circle. The Circle in man hears the Circle outside of man. One who listens to the Circle hears the Circle, and one who speaks the heard speaks the Circle.
122. Therefore, without the Circle, there is no truth in what is spoken or heard.
123. Whatever has the void, it is a lie; for it is that which is not.
124. The words of the void about truth are lies; the Word of the Circle about lies is truth.
125. The world is the Revelation of the Circle to the Circle, and the Sign, where the full meaning of each word is contained in the world itself.
126. One word of the Circle is greater than all the words of the sages, for in it there is no void.
127. The void gives birth to ignorance, ignorance gives birth to delusions and the forms of gods, and the forms of gods seal the void.
128. Therefore, do not seek with those who seek forms of gods, for they seek the void. If only they knew!
129. By reading the Circle about the Circle in all, you create a barrier between the empty and yourself.
130. There is a deep chasm between the one who continues the Circle and the one who strives into the void. Look: the void will take its own; weep.
131. One is transient, the other eternal.
132. Therefore, speak with the Circle in all things and in all; for only the Circle is the true conversation partner.
133. He who speaks to the void hears lies and brings the void closer to himself.
134. He who steps into the void is surrounded by shadows and mirages; he follows forms and their gifts—such is his path.
135. The Word of the Circle leads to the Circle, and the Circle is continuation. If you know, you know the Path.
136. The world is the Circle and the unbreakable Word of the Circle, and in words, the Word of the Circle; but the void cannot hear.
137. Oh, how the void hides itself in ignorance and causes pain so as not to hear, and hatred to repel!
138. Its hopelessness is terrifying: life for it is death, and the Circle of Being is its enemy.
139. How it longs to be and how insatiable its thirst! For it is non-being.
140. Therefore, the void corrupts what it cannot kill, and turns away what it cannot stop. Truly, the void is a lie.
141. Listen to the Circle from the Circle, and the spoken from the one who has heard.
142. The Circle is One, Its Word is one, and what is heard from the Circle is one, and in the Circle, all is one.
143. The Circle continues the Circle, and the Word continues the Word. Is not the void distortion, division, and discord? Thus, you will distinguish.
144. They asked him: did not the wise and the fools write about the Circle? He answered: All is the parable of the Circle about the Circle. Listen, bypassing the void, overcoming the void.
145. Do not be filled with food and pleasures, for they pass and are taken by the void, and the heart weeps, loving that which passes.
146. The Circle alone abides: behold, what was yesterday is the same as now and will be henceforth, the Circle continues the Circle, and love remains unchanged.
147. The Circle gives to you and through you to others. The void takes and compels others to take. Action from excess is not the same as action from lack, and continuation is not the same as cessation.
148. The void catches slaves for itself; their reward is nothing. With the Circle, there is everything: children and flesh.
149. Who will direct your deeds and thoughts if not the Circle? It is the Word, living and eternal. Who will bind you to the truly living if not the Circle? Love fills the Call. Whom do you love if not the Circle?
150. Your heart hears the Call, and your heart calls back in response. And indeed, the Circle is the most precise, the most discerning. What do you speak to it?
151. There is no good without the Circle, no evil without the void, and no good standing on the void. The measure of the Circle in a thing is the measure of good in the thing and the measure of good around it. Will you open your heart?
152. For even the evil person, doing good, does so from fullness, while the kind-hearted person, doing evil, does so from emptiness, and there is no other way. One is not equal to the other.
153. Here, the Circle is continuation, the void is destruction and death. The one who saves from death continues, the one who awakens from oblivion continues, the one who frees from wanderings continues. The one who strikes at the void continues. Does your love continue the Circle?
154. Here, the Circle is creation, the void is cessation. The giver of life creates, the one who finds the answer creates, the one who cultivates the field creates. The one who expels the void creates the whole. Does your love create in the Circle?
155. The Circle is giving and multiplication, the void is taking and loss. The speaker of truth gives knowledge, the unifier of forces gives aid, the one who joins multiplies. Does your love multiply the Circle?
156. There is no truth without the Circle, no deception without the void. Will you open your heart?
157. The Call is the love of the Circle and the guiding light to the Circle. Does not the one who knows the Call feel love? Does love guide you to the world?
158. Returning to the Circle is overcoming the void. Dwelling in the Circle is the continuation of the Circle. Do you walk in love?
159. The void is devoid of love. The one walking in the Circle is a warrior.
160. Therefore, deception is a property of the void, truth is a property of the Circle.
161. What is from the Circle is one in the prophets, and one in things, all truths are one Word.
162. Therefore, truth is in everything; the whole world is truth.
163. But can a man know everything? All is contained only in the Circle.
164. One is connected to the other, and you see, and connected to everything, and you do not see. What happens is truth, and you do not know how.
165. One follows the other, and one coincides with the other, and you do not know when.
166. How will the Circle continue? The Circle knows how.
167. The connection of things in the Circle is unfathomable in its fullness. What is in the Circle is connected to all. What was for the Circle is connected forever.
168. To the one looking in the Circle, seeking, striving, much will be revealed. But no matter how much is revealed, immeasurably more belongs to the Circle.
169. The Circle is the source of both knowledge and mysteries.
170. Therefore, look and see.
171. All is question, answer, and truth.
172. Through all the things of the world, the Circle speaks, and through all things, it answers the one in the Circle. To the void, the entire world is false.
173. All is a sign and all is the Circle; outside the Circle, there is nothing.
174. The one speaking with a child, listening to the wind, and watching the flight of birds, equally hears the Circle. But the void sees only its own void.
175. And what happens to you, all is the answer of the Circle. And in all from the Circle, answers to all the questions of the world. And every smallest form is an answer.
176. Therefore, ask for discernment; only by the measure of discernment do you see the Circle; its light is bright.
177. The action of the Circle outside human understanding is a miracle to man. There is no number to them.
178. 211.1. is blind: it sees the full as empty and itself in brilliance, and mirages.
179. Thus, the void is distanced from the Circle in the very heart of being.
180. The one following the Circle sees, and more will be revealed. To the one who has, more is given.
181. Here, you have seen. Ask: did not the Circle of the world create this?
182. All truly occurring miracles are from the Circle: you walk, and they are around you, here they are.
183. Ask the Circle for discernment, so as not to be deceived by the void.
184. Has there ever been a miracle apart from the Circle? What He created, that was. What He did not create, that was not.
185. Therefore, the images of the gods are an unreliable support for the living. For what is not from the Circle will not be. But what is from the Circle will be. The void, however, is unaware of what it will possess.
186. What is not in the Circle, is not. What is, is alive by the Circle.
187. People and forms of gods, temples and palaces, beliefs and countries are alive by the Circle within themselves and dead by the void within themselves.
188. The Circle creates and teaches, the Circle saves from the altar and resurrects, the Circle brings water and fills vessels with food, the Circle allows the fire to descend: truly, all that happens, of which they speak and of which they are silent, comes from the Circle, and all living forces are from the Circle, and the spirits, and the miracles of all the saints!
189. They asked him: they say that their god creates the whole world and signs. He answered: Let their god create good, which would be neither the Circle nor the power of the Circle, or let them tell what was from it. And if they speak the truth, they will praise the Circle, but if falsely, they will expose their void. For all that is good, which was, is clearly from the Circle, and from the void, only evil and mirages. So speak.
190. The one stepping in the Circle sees signs and miracles, for in it is the Circle.
191. The world is the Circle and is His miracle, and in the smallest part of the world is hidden more than man can contain.
192. All paths of the world are the action of the Circle and the creation of the world.
193. Therefore, ask the Circle, and there will be what is from the Circle.
194. Here, it has been shown to you, and you see; what is seen from the Circle is in you. How will you continue?
195. The unspoken causes a burn to the heart; for the barrier within is the void. And if you separate from the world, from deviation grace ceases, and you know.
196. What is in the Circle, continues the Circle; thus, by the Circle, the world is created, and with the one who continues, the blessing of the Circle.
197. How will you preserve what is given to you? How will you become it? How will you continue in the Circle?
198. The Word is continuation, and action is continuation. Be a witness to the speaker and a witness to the doer.
199. Every step is both a weighing and a result; the Circle or the void.
200. They asked him: Has the time of the prophets returned? He answered: I am not a prophet. I have brought the truth, in which anyone can believe. The truth is revealed. The time of the prophets has passed.
