Chapters
                 

160) Each wall separates and remains one of the mortal bodies, but many layers remain as such. Their bricks, the stones of suffering that separate one from the Light of enlightenment.
161) Each form of the mental self is a wall which creates darkness and distance from the Light. Each brick in every wall the sentient being creates is a weapon for his own suffering.
162) Dense, subtle; stones, sheets of iron or glass. The self assumes various forms, beyond and not beyond. Within, this and more than this; but it separates you from the Light of the Invisible.
163) The seeker of spiritual realization loves creation but, as he still does not know harmony, he separates it from himself.
164) If we intend to speak of real love, those who truly feel It are simply perceiving the Love of the Creator.
165) The flights of the selves elude the Truth. They create weak, small, poor thoughts and strong, large, rich obscurities.
166) Creatures meet. Souls hidden by a long journey which, in time, will separate the Gates that were united before creation.
167) The frontiers between the walls lean on them, the pressures affect the ego and fortifies the forces. If the walls merge, the mirrors become covered.
168) Receiving worldly honors, riches from the living and gold from the dead, increases the friction of the selves. The heat they generate freezes the Point.
169) Those who do not love are unwilling to give up their selves. They separate themselves from others. They do not know themselves, yet are unwilling to relinquish their selves. Strangers to the world, they pursue themselves. They know nothing of the two kinds of Love.
