Theos-Talk Archives (October 2003 Message tt00082)

Thanks, I am well aware of it. Still, I have to assist my brothers and

The blessing of the masters which has been intertwined amidst the written
word, has been the foundation of the Hebrew mysticism; the ancients would
have a direct experience, like in a movies, when they meditated on, or with
the sacred writings. Today, I guess, the Masters add *something* to their
writings, so when we read their works, they have the opportunity of wash our
brains a bit... Etzion
