At first glance this statement may sound like a contradiction, however The Law of Circulation states all things in the universe are always flowing in circulation, at an ever expanding rate. What you give to one person, you will receive from a different source.
For example, when purchasing groceries, you can either spend money or circulate money. To spend means – to use up, consume or dispose of. To circulate means – to move into a circle or circuit, to pass from place to place and from person to person.
Many of us have been conditioned to believe that the thoughts in our head represent who we are as a person. Basically, what I think is who I am. So consider this, many of our thoughts and beliefs come from outside of us. For example, family myths, beliefs, folklore and practices that have been handed down for many generations that has nothing to do with us. Granted family traditions are important and should be honored, but they should not overshadow our purpose for being here, and nor should they take away our ability to create something new from nothing. Our social class, race, physical appearance, political affiliation, religion and so much more are some of the things we identify with but it’s not who we are. When we identify with these thoughts in our mind, we see others as different from us. When we see someone as different, then we lose the ability to relate to them, which brings forth the Ego. Ego is the “I” or “me” that sees things outside itself as “others”. In order for the Ego to survive it must feel superior to anything outside itself. So if the Ego is superior, then the Other must be inferior. Hence forth comes the complaining, resentment, name-calling, and gossiping directed at the Other. The Ego needs tension in order to remain relevant.
The Void is when you’re in a state of being where everything seems to be going wrong. Relationships fail, things fall apart, and nothing works the way it used to. Going through the Void feels terrible and depressing. However being in the Void is a the realization that you need to do things differently. Many of us realize this, but because we’re familiar and comfortable with our current situations, we tend to linger in them causing more harm to our mind body and soul. Once you surrender to the Void good thing! It’s good because only when old patterns and beliefs no longer benefit or serve your purpose, can you then come to, then and only then can you release the old broken beliefs and embrace what is new.
