A person knows not his destiny and thinks himself small. Were he to see that he is woven into the fabric of the universe, and understand the nature of his path, he would discover himself great and infinite, like the world itself.

The Book of the Circle.
Chapter 1: Spirit

1 The world has neither beginning nor end. Nothing can exist, for nothing contains the power of being within itself. Being does not require a cause, it is inevitable, singular, and has no external limits. Being is infinite, unified, eternal, and without origin.

2 Being is the Circle of Being and the self-sustaining cause of itself. The cause changes its form and returns to its origins. Being defines itself and gives itself shape. The Circle of Being is the eternal Form of all forms and the World, forever creating itself.

3 Forces acting upon forces create things. Forces influencing things create movement. Things meeting other things create forms. Forms acting on forms create development. Development creates forms with inner motion. Movements within forms create sensations. Sensation meets sensation to create thought, thought meets thought to create consciousness.

4 Movement returns to itself, renewing itself in the endless forms of the Circle of Being, creating the world. From the invisible to the greatest, all is created by the Circle, bound by the Circle, and is itself the unified Circle of the world.

5 The movement of the world, with the movement of the world, gives birth to the sensation of the world experiencing itself in countless forms. The world is the Circle of circles of motion and the Circle of circles of feeling. The Circle of the world’s motion is the Spirit of the world, in all things, above all things, and between all things. The Circle of the world’s motion is the form of the world’s forms and the Spirit of the innumerable forms of the world.

6 The movement of the world creates sensation in the forms of the world, sensation changes thought, thought changes the motion of thought, thought gives rise to the movement of form, the movement of form alters other forms. Man is the form of the world, a part of the unified Circle and part of the unified Spirit.

7 The Circle is constancy in change; it is the cause of all causes, it is Spirit and Word and Meaning and Life, it is the timeless essence of infinite time, it is the cause of all things and all possibilities of being, it is all that was, is, and will be, the creator, it is all the blessings and miracles of the world, all essences, all meanings, it is all gods and the voices of all gods, all names and all thoughts. It is the one who speaks and the one who hears, the Circle is All, and beyond it, nothing exists.

8 Void manifests itself through that which is destined to cease; it is all the distortions of movement in things and the obstacles to the movement of the Circle, thus it is opposed to being. Lost movement, the dividing abyss, the ruptured connection, the doomed beginning, the devoured cause, the dead form, the absence of what once was, the ceased sensation, the flaw in the whole – these are its signs and fruits. Void forms through the distortion of the movement of the Circle, as shadows are formed from light.

9 Void cannot exist outside the Circle, but it can manifest within the fabric of the Circle; it cannot move, but it can influence movement; it cannot stop the movement of the Circle, but it can distort the movement of its forms. Void is opposed to continuation and opposed to the Circle.

10 Just as the Circle of the world exists in movement and is the cause of its movement, so too void falsely exists in the distortions of the movement of the Circle, leading to the cessation of the causes of distortion. The property to distort the movement of things and divide the forms of things gives rise to the void’s desire to expand, like a crack.

11 Through the twisted movement of void, new void arises, taking what is its own, starting small. Distortion leads to distortion, a severed connection leads to further ruptures, thus void manifests, and form is struck by flaws. Void lacks a source, while being is eternal, and the form distorted by void will be overcome by the unstoppable movement of the Circle. Void is like a demon, doomed to defeat by its nature, but fruitlessly striving to conquer the very cause of its existence.

12 Void greedily multiplies itself, drawing the movement of the world into its flaws, and this is its essence. Void absorbs the distorted movement and leads the absorbed into non-being, for the form of void is doomed to vanish, and this is its essence. Void cannot self-sustain and cannot regenerate, and this is its essence. The form of void is a stolen opportunity for continuation; void is death.

13 Void is an obstruction and a loss of causes, a rupture; it is silence and absence, death and non-being, the essence of all that is fading and disappearing from the Circle of Being, it is halted movement, the hunger of destruction upon itself, it is all unfulfilled and all irrevocably dead, it is all demons and the voices of all demons, it is evil and barren hopes. It is ignorance, blindness, devouring, limitation, coercion, fear, pain, lies, decay, and rust; it is that which is doomed.

14 Void in non-being, the Circle in the infinity of the future. These paths run through all the forms of the world and layers of being, from the smallest to the greatest, through the revealed and the hidden. All encounters its fate according to the nature of its striving. That which multiplies the Circle exists in the Circle, that which multiplies void merges with non-being. Both sides exist in man, but the best path is one.

15 From the invisible to the immeasurable by the mind, all is created by the causes of the Circle. There is that which continues and that which will turn into void and cease to be. One is not equal to the other. A coral does not know the world, and soon it will disappear without knowing it, yet it creates islands in the ocean. If it could live as an island!

16 Or as a cloud of gas in the vastness of space becomes a shining star and planets. Some paths of things did not lead to continuation and were cut off, others united and became new life. Thus, that which leads to continuation comes to replace what has ceased to be and increases in its place.

17 The greatest in the world is made of the smallest, following the paths of the greatest. The transient dwelling in stillness and the short-lived incapacity for continuation, both are destined for loss and non-being. But the smallest, following the movement of the Circle, lives in the greatest as part.

18 The connections of the things of the world lead both outward and upward, from the small to the large and from the large to the small. The connections of things pass into one another and create each other, and in this is the Circle. Just as a tree, bearing fruit, creates a forest, though its first trunk has decayed, so the connections of the Circle continue the life of the world. Just as the first trunk of the tree decayed in the darkness of ages, so the severed in void perishes. If the tree could become its fruit, it would be eternal.

19 That which does not follow the path of the Circle becomes disconnected and diminished, turning into loss and lost being. That which follows the path of the Circle multiplies, unites, and continues in infinite time. All that abides is purified and swept along by the movement of the Circle, and there is no greater force, for all the forces of Being are the Circle.

20 The being of the three times of the world has a singular unchanging essence, in it, no new causes appear. All that exists in the present has existed in the past, and all that exists in the present contains within it all that will be revealed in the future. In the present, there is no trace of what has turned to void, and that which loses alignment with the movement of the Circle dissolves into void. The forms of the world endlessly strive toward the perfected manifestation of the Circle.

21 All that found continuation before continues in the present, purifying being from void, and all that is purified finds continuation. Time exists as the purification of the world by the Circle. Thus, the Circle unfailingly renews itself through time.

22 In the darkness of birth, you came as a small form of the Circle, as a union of enduring connections of the world. All the causes of man continue in the present in man, and some of the connections will end, while others will not end and will grow. One part will be absorbed by void, and another will continue in the eternal Circle of Being.

23 Much will disappear, torn apart by the void that surrounds the movement of the Circle, like shadows to light; only a little continues and grows. Some paths are better than others. It is impossible to change the past, and impossible to stop the manifestation of the future, but the present holds dominion over its own paths. The path that carries no void continues the Circle and becomes it.

24 In the present moment lies the choice between the void and the Circle. Excluding the void leads to continuation, multiplying the Circle leads to continuation. Action that overcomes the void receives continuation, and that which expels from itself the doomed to die continues through the Circle of the world. The choice of action that continues the Circle is the source of life.

25 The threads of the causes of the Circle have no beginning and no end, they thread through all the forms of the world. Thus, that which is contained in the small form of the world continues in the greater, and that which passes through great forms passes through the small. The planet gives birth to life, and life changes its face. The singular essence sets all the forms of the world in motion, and they reflect in one another, uniting between themselves.

26 The great and the small, the slow and the instant, the separate and the united, the simple and the complex – these are the inseparable fabric of the manifestation of the Circle. No form is closed within itself, and one, without barrier, continues existence in another. One is made from the other, and there is no number to the forms that create each other. Each form touches infinity and contains that which leads into it.

27 The threads of the paths to infinity pass through the form of man. Our being feels the call of the infinite world.

28 Stillness within itself holds no sensation. When no difference is made between what was and what is becoming, sensation does not arise. Sensation is the inner side of change. When movement alters movement, change arises. The movement of the things of the world alters the movement of the things of the world, and in every change of movement, hidden, sensation is reborn. The world is filled with the sensation of its own movement, and it is the sensing Circle.

29 Sensation is hidden, mute, and forgetful, locked within itself, not reflected in other sensations. The forms of the world, influencing the forms of the world, continuing sensations in sensations, create memory and knowledge. The world is filled with memory and knowledge, and it is the contemplating Circle.

30 The world is unique, and all causes within it spring from it, and all paths in its infinite time meet with themselves. The world is the Cause, influencing itself. Knowledge, reflected within itself, creates knowledge of knowledge. The world is filled with knowledge of the world, and it is the knowing Circle.

31 The connection of movement with knowledge is thought and reason. The movement of the world measures things, directs things, and relates their paths to the world. All that emanates is perfectly related to all that emanates, and there is no other, from the smallest to the greatest. The world defines all the paths of itself and the things within it, and it is the Circle, the Will, the Word, the Spirit, and the Reason.

32 The Circle thinks itself and all that is in the Circle. The river feels its banks, the mountain remembers the riverbed, the planet knows of the mountain through river and wind, the universe reflects in the planet, and the planet in the universe. The world defines the place of the atom, the planet, and all other things of being within itself.

33 The living Spirit of Being is inconceivable and infinite, it is above all things, in all things, and between all things. The vastness, power, and depth of the eternal Circle are unfathomable, and man is but a tiny part of it.

34 The constellations, planets, the spirits of the course of things, mountains and clouds, man, the ocean and the fish within it, all that is visible and hidden, and all that is possible – these are the living images of the Circle, born of the thought of the Circle. All knows of itself, being the world, and the world knows all of everything.

35 Man reflects in the world, and the world knows itself through man. Man knows of himself, and the world knows man through man. The world speaks to the world in the form of man, and the world within man responds to it. There is no boundary between the being of the whole and the part.

36 In the being of the Circle, there is no blindness of chance. All that manifests is born of the causes of the Circle and determined by them. There are no things in time that are equal to cause, nor things equal to consequence. What seems the same leads to different distant predeterminations. Equal choices lead to different paths. All that happens is the evident action of the Circle and is the truth.

37 Throw the die of fate and guess how it will land, to see how little knowledge of the Circle lies in man. If the mind of man could encompass the Circle, it would always know.

38 Think in advance the desired outcome of your fate, to see how insignificant the desire of man is apart from the movement of the Circle. If man’s desire did not contain void, there would be no difference.

39 Cast the die with your hand, as you wish, to see how great the will of the Circle is within man. But does man know the path he has chosen with this die? One day, he will see what he has chosen.

40 All that is produced by the Circle is a sign, a possibility, and the Word directed at the Circle. But void is blind and deaf. Knowledge is communicated by the Circle to the Circle, and it is heard by that which continues the Circle.

41 Every thing in the universe is manifested through the Universal Circle, and it would not exist if the movement of the Circle were any different. Thus, in every existing thing, the entire true fullness and predetermination of the universe are contained.

42 The single fabric of the Circle surrounds everything and constitutes everything. The single fabric of being surrounds man and constitutes man. The single thought of the world surrounds any thought and constitutes any thought. The single harmony of causes produces all the actions of the world and determines them. Behold, the entire world is a single living Circle.

43 Everything born of the Circle strives toward the Circle and constitutes the Circle. What calls the bird to flight? Whose call do souls hear, what do they seek through the abysses of time? What road is seen by one turned to the heavens, whether day or night? The Call emanates from the Circle.

44 All things in the world are fully manifested by the Circle and arranged as they are, and not otherwise. The road to the Circle is open among all things and passes through each form. The world is created by the striving of the Circle and is open to the one who strives toward the Circle. The Circle is the continuation.

45 The movement of the forces of the Circle created the forms of life, and just as the Circle continues, so does life. The Circle of life continues in the circle of life within the Circle of the world. Small being continues in larger being, small life creates great life. The old life is replaced by new life; emptiness departs; new birth is a new circle, a kin of life, the movement of the Circle. The Circle is reborn in renewal.

46 The Circle has given all things in the world their life; it is the Spirit and essence of all things; the living is true just as the world itself is true and has the same nature as all things in the world. The fullness of each thing is equal to the universe; all things are as they are, and the living is inseparable from the universe. One is the other; and in the shimmer of a firefly, the reflection of starry flame lives.

47 The Circle draws all things into its movement, and the continuation of the living is the continuation of the Circle. The essence of the forms of the living is the eternal Being of the Circle, which has no external boundaries and no temporal limits.

48 Life is part of the eternal Circle of the world, sustained by the Circle, constituted by the Circle, filled with the Circle, and continues the Circle. The striving of the Circle nourishes the striving of all living things.

49 The singular Spirit of the world creates the living and fills the living with itself. It is the nature of life, sensation, and thought; through all living, it reflects itself and continues in infinity.

50 The Circle of being creates all things in the world and fills all things in the world with itself. The living and the non-living share a common nature. The sleeping is at rest until the time comes, the slow seems lifeless to the fleeting, a small part of a living cell would appear lifeless to its tiniest part, and beings seem separated from other things.

51 While the whole is not perceived and the connection is hidden, the difference in forms gives rise to delusion. Meanwhile, all things are forms of the singular Circle, and composed of one.

52 All things are parts of the world, and all parts constitute the singular Circle of the world, created by one and filled with one. The movement of the Circle is the movement of all forms and things in the world, all knows the world and the world knows all.

53 Lift the stone from the earth; it has lost its former support and found a new one, and the combination of forces has changed within it, it knows this of you. The stone lies in your hand, and your feet are heavier on the earth; you know this and the earth knows this, and the world knows this. Your knowledge is lesser than the knowledge of the world. Place the stone where it was; and even if you place it exactly as before, you will not be the same and the world will not be the same.

54 The movement of the Circle in you is reflected in the movement of the Circle in the stone, and the movement of the Circle in the stone is reflected in the movement of the Circle in you. The Circle acted, and the Circle knew.

55 You do not know what the stone has learned, and the stone does not know what you have learned, but the world knows what you have learned and what the stone has learned, and more; because both you and the stone are infinitesimally small parts of the world, and the Circle encompasses all.

56 Knowledge in the stone is not your knowledge, but your knowledge is part of the knowledge of the Circle, and in the Circle, all is contained, both you and the stone. The small and the small have occurred between forms, much and much has been accomplished in the consciousness of the Circle. Your consciousness is open to the boundless ocean of the Spirit and is a part of It, and the Spirit speaks to you in everything, if you can hear.

57 The consciousness of the world contemplates the world from within, uniting in itself everything without exception, from the tiniest particles to the stellar oceans, and the inner world is infinitely greater than the outer, for each thing reflects in all things, and all things in each. Forms within forms conceal forms, consciousness within consciousness carries consciousness, and at the same time, the movement of the Circle is one, and the Spirit within it is one. All is united, and the Call of the Circle permeates the universe.

58 The lesser is part of the greater, and the lesser consciousness continues in the greater consciousness through the illusory boundaries of fleeting forms. Action is open to the world, the world is open to knowledge, knowledge is open to the world, and all is united in the singular Circle. Therefore, the Spirit of the world is the Consciousness of consciousnesses and the connection of all things, and the Spirit of the world is the Way.

59 The infinity of time, things, and events is created and filled with the singular, beginningless Spirit, and apart from it, there is nothing, and all comes from the Circle.

60 Being, both outwardly and inwardly, is like the eternal light that reflects itself; infinite mirrors of light reflecting light across the boundless spaces of the Circle.

61 The depth of the singular and unique Spirit is unfathomable, its depth unimaginable. Who knows the depths of man? And yet, he is neither lost nor hindered.

62 Man is a form of the Circle with the great gift of consciousness within it, and the mind of man is above his bodily form, and greater than it. What is in the form if there is no man within it? It is empty, like a forsaken house.

63 The fact that man lives within himself affirms from birth his covenant with the Circle. Among the countless forms of the world, unaware of themselves, unaware of the Circle, man knows. This is a gift, an opportunity, and the Way.

64 Man is a part of the world, a child of the Circle, and its continuation, like a child is the continuation of the parent, and even more so, because the connection with the child thins, and he becomes separate, while man is never separated from the Circle. The singular Spirit permeates the world, and man within it; there are no barriers between them, just as there are no barriers between currents of thought, and the Spirit speaks with man, if man can hear.

The universal Spirit strives from the world into man and from man into the world, and among all other things, and within them. The eternal movement of the Circle is the entire world; the Spirit imparts to all its striving, and thus, the Call of the Circle permeates the entire world, and all within it.

65 The Circle within man strives toward the Circle and brings the gift of seeing the Circle. The Circle allows one to distinguish the Circle. The Circle leads to the Circle, and the void leads to the void. Look at the growing and the growing, the continuing and the continuing, and at that which suffers no harm through all transformations, and you will see the Circle. If you can see, you will see.

66 The Circle manifests itself to man in all things and meanings. The Call of the Circle speaks of the Circle, the striving allows one to see. What is seen becomes a clear sign to the one who sees, the light of clear insight. The sign opens the distinction of paths.

67 All things follow their paths, the Circle strives toward the Circle, and the void draws toward the void. He who hears the Call at the threshold of the path to the eternal Circle and strives toward it, will see. He who is moved by the void toward its non-being wanders in the labyrinths of shadows. He who sees is one whose path is directed toward infinity. He whose road is laid toward the void is blind.

68 The eternal Circle created man, and in him, the path to the Circle is revealed. The Spirit in man is immortal and infinite. However, the destiny and time of man depend on the path he has walked.

69 The infinity of the universal Circle is veiled by the horizons of space and time. Its unimaginably vast movement appears to man as the flow of things and events, where part of the forms continues the Circle and is sustained by the Circle, while part is absorbed by the void.

70 The fates of men throughout being are like the different fates of streams of water in a river. One was shallow and played on the surface, and the river carried it until time dried it out. Another approached the solid shore, and it was drank by a beast that came to the river. Another turned away from the current and was lost in the dead sands. One gave itself to the sleepy warmth of a still cove and was dissolved by it forever. Yet another passed the path of the river and became a great current in the boundless ocean, and only the echo of its breath, from time to time, is brought to the river by migratory birds, like a message.

71 The river suffered no harm, and the Circle suffered no harm, yet the fates of the streams differ from one another. Much leads into the void, diverging from the straight path, while little leads to continuation, straight within the curved. Only the Circle is the full measure of all paths.

72 The distance from the Circle leads to the void, and much draws into it, while man’s knowledge is incomplete. Yet the Circle is all and knows itself as all, thus only the Circle is the true guide.

73 The one walking the path of the Circle, seeing the Circle in all things of the world, able to distinguish the Circle from the void, accepting the guidance of the Circle, will walk the Path, opened to him from birth into the infinity of being.

74 Feel awe before the greatness of the Circle: all that is not, has been erased by Its course.

75 All that is not, and all that will not be, is infinitely more than what will be and what is. How much has sunk and how much will sink into non-being! The Circle is unrelenting in what must be and what must cease.

76 The open path is narrow, and all that is not meant to be turns into the void. What will oppose the universal? The Circle thinks through all things of the world, and that which is directed away from it will be erased by all. That which has lost the form of the Circle disunites by all that exists, and the entire world becomes its enemy, and all things oppose it, and it opposes itself.

77 Thus, a futile thought cannot know how it will be cast aside by the thinker. Sometimes it is defeated by another thought, sometimes it is overshadowed, sometimes it crumbles within, sometimes its cause is broken, sometimes it ceases. Thoughts do not know how it will be. The thought moved away from the thinker, and it became according to its movement.

78 Thus, the weak and strong, the great and insignificant, the ancient and new, are severed in their striving toward the void. The Circle constitutes all things, and the correspondence of all parts of things is made by the Circle, and all parts move within it. When the whole loses its connection with the path, its fabric unravels by the movement of the Circle, and it becomes the void.

79 There is no immovable outside the course of the Circle, neither on the face of the earth, nor in the movement of the stars. Palaces and gardens, kings and warriors, countries and peoples, powers and beliefs, kingdoms and gods, have all gone into nothingness, losing the Way. If only they knew! In striving, in thought, in intention, in decision, in action, and in all moments of the world lies the choice between the Circle and the void, and the flaw of discord carries the seed of death.

80 The one who has lost the Circle within himself is forsaken. The world is not open to him, paths are unseen, and words are empty or give rise to deceit. In vain he seeks; he finds only distortion among the straight, fleeting among the eternal, and everything in him multiplies the void, until the preserving becomes smaller than the unraveling and time departs.

81 The Circle is healing and life. The Circle reveals the straight among the distorted, the true among the false, and he who is on the Path of the Circle knows. All that has lasted through the abysses of time has lasted by the strength and movement of the Circle. The Circle imparts guidance, and strength, and life, and the help of all things in the world, for the Circle is the world and the Spirit of the world.

82 Despair hangs over one who moves toward the void. He is given to be taken away, and he greedily fills only to become empty again. His joy is the door to sorrow, today is his substitute for tomorrow, and ahead, nothing will come. But in the Circle, there is continuation.

83 On the Path of the Circle, all the world and its forces walk with him. That which endures through all changes leads the one who possesses discernment. He is the one who finds.

84 The Circle is Spirit, and Its Call is in everything, and it sounds incessantly. The Circle imparts understanding to the one who hears the Call. If striving has led you to knowledge, you know. Walk your path in the Circle and acquire that which is open to you from birth.
