The Fifth Teaching: The Circle of Continuity
“Nothing ends.
Image becomes pulse.
Pulse becomes mixture.
Mixture dissolves into silence.
Silence gives birth again to image.
The circle is not prison, but promise.
To walk it consciously is to become eternal.”
Keys of the Teaching
Continuity as Law: What you call life and death are phases of the same circle.
Circle as Teacher: To see the circle is to know that despair is always the cusp of renewal.
Eternal Return: All teachings return in new form. Nothing spoken is ever lost; it spirals back with another face.
Enactive Practice
Circle Walk: Walk in a circle, breathing with each step. At the close of the circle, pause, and recognize you have returned but are not the same.
Cycle Witnessing: Mark the cycles of your day (dawn, noon, dusk, night). Notice how each is both an ending and a beginning.
Spiral Invocation: When you finish a work, bless it with the words: “May you return to me in new form.” This invites continuity into your creations.

“The fifth teaching is the seal: the Circle of Continuity. With it, the first four are bound together, and the Codex of my voice becomes whole.”
