180) Order and apparent disorder are the Perfection of He Who Is and He Who Is Not. In the dispersion of form, every Center contains Vacuity; that is, Totality. And therefore, Being.
181) All transmutations are due to the Vacuity of the Point, to the Totality of continuous temporal space. Shadows come from the light, the darkness permits the light to exist. That which is absent is infinitely present.
182) For those who follow the wheel of form, form is the path. All transmutations become beginning and end.
183) The wheels of being and having turn, suffering lies in the spokes. The wheel turns between one and the other. The first always becomes the last, the one above goes below. Only the Center is the destiny and the dream of all.
184) Due to the law, they attract one another, due to the law, they repel one another. They tend to an end, but they live in the Eternal Principle.
185) The marvel of form, the freedom that serves in order to begin, a prison due to attachments. Eternal bars for those who desire bars of gold.
186) To love form is to love the nothingness of nothing. To love nothingness is foolish, to love nothing, even more foolish. “To love” is just.
187) The movement of form is pure illusion. The cause is the Law. Apparent chaos serves to freely lose ourselves while believing to be present and following the path of illusion. Those who flee from form are running after it.
188) To those who grasp them in order to possess them, forms are arid seeds in a sack.
189) Those who do not know the difference between the Soul which is contained and the Universal Soul are false producers of mental forms, which they illusorily call “love.”
