Chiasmus life

"Form is only emptiness,. Emptiness only form"

Studying merely the form of chiasmus is a plastic science. It is like falling in love with a woman because she is beautiful but never getting to know her. God uses the chaistic form to throw you into the center of his conversation. A great chiasmus doesn't give you a hint of the central message--it hits you in the face like a home run ball hit dead center field. If you are studying chiasmus like a student would study an atom or DNA you are looking at it wrong.
Ask yourself these questions--where is the chiasmus taking you and what does God want you to do or feel once you get there? A true chaismic experience changes you, changes your paradigm and takes you on a journey.
Following a scientific life never takes you to genius, never lets you experience paradox and therefore never allows you to experience God.
