"How funny it is to imagine that matter is the clearest thing and the foundation of everything, when in fact matter is only a means of communication of the spiritual principle itself, from which emanated everything that is separate (that's what I called it at the beginning ). I should add that matter is a means of communication of the spiritual principle itself (from which emanated all that is separate) only in tandem with movement.

""Ce comic e să ne închipuim că materia este lucrul cel mai clar și temelia a tot, când de fapt materia e doar un mijloc de comunicare a principiului spiritual în sine, din care a emanat tot ce este separat (așa l-am numit la început). Ar trebui să adaug că materia e un mijloc de comunicare a principiului spiritual în sine (din care a emanat tot ce este separat) numai în tandem cu mișcarea."
