Theos-Talk Archives (October 2003 Message tt00267)

Quoting what "Jesus was made to have said," 
as per John's post of today: <<Limbs of the 
Ineffable>> And: <<the gnosis of the gnosis 
of the ineffable>>

In Webster's, gnosis means: "positive 
knowledge in spiritual matters, such as was 
claimed to have been mystically acquired by 
the Gnostics."

I wonder if "Limbs of the Ineffable" 
might've been a reference, among other 
things, to (in other words?) certain kinds of 
words, wordings, thoughts and concepts as 
might be found in the Esoteric Tradition , in 
that, if certain kinds of wordings are 
intended, in a sense, as "jumping off points" 
towards the "ineffable" (or Ineffable---ie, 
as I see it, caps, italics or quotes might be 
used to alert the reader, or some readers, as 
to the "esoteric nature" of certain kinds of 
intended meanings for certain words) ... so 
if certain kinds of wordings are intended as, 
in a sense, "jumping off points" (from, "in a 
sense," the constraints of "essential 
dualisticity" and "karmic tendencies"), then 
... Well, not that we don't all have our 
various ways of interpreting "jumping off 
points," among other things, but/"but" ...

PS John, do I have your permission to quote 
you on Theosophy Study List? I'm wondering 
what Gerald might have to say about that Mead 
quote about Jesus. Gerald doesn't want to 
subscribe to this list as far as I know.
