“Every dimension looks at itself through the eyes of other shapes in the Universe. Only in the senses, and through the senses, the joy is born and felt. The Universe's uppermost beauty, depth, knowledge, and potential shine on surfaces. The Universe puts on and changes many clothes, colors, shapes, and scents. Light is the robe of the Universe and is more important than its depth. Its whole nature shines from its face; its mystery seduces us with the smile of beauty; its depth is in the service of beauty. The most profound depth is sad and lonely at the bottom of itself and does not need knowledge, for it is in and of itself omnipotent knowledge and truth. That’s why the Being, in a creative dance with Emptiness, embraces her, To create a smile on her face Which becomes space Giving birth to distances among shapes. Without shapes, there are no distances or Paths, Without the Paths, there is no purpose For the Ultimate Path is the purpose, The Path walks the Way to the Harbor. Space is the Ultimate Curved Path, On the Way from Oneness into Plurality And from Plurality back to Oneness. Plurality is the curved smile of Oneness In myriad colors and shapes On countless paths of the divided One Toward the Ultimate Home of the One Undivided and uncurved Self.”
