I haven't heard of this reference but it seems to be semi-
self-evident when considering the world we live in. For example,
it is now spring time in the northern hemisphere on earth, 
which is a step in the dance as the world spins around the sun, 
which is a greater dance of larger spheres. It is seen in the
smallest details of life on earth, from atomic energy to the 
the endless process that is life that grows from dead matter.
death>life>death>life. If that isn't circular energy then what 
is? 
Our behavior can affect other's behavior. If we are kind to 
someone it can provoke them to be kind to another.
I think the earth's motto should read, "One good turn deserves
another."
