<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Dearest Mark and all mystics out there, </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> I'm sure that my paper-thin knowledge of the
eastern parts of the West do not exhaust the topic of inward growing
trees. Before I was run out of seminary for my heretical ideas, I managed
to read only a small amount of the patristic sources arising from the Syrian christian
tradition (east or west). The point of doing that reading was to reground
christianity in its jewish roots. Language issues and the oscillating imperial boundary
between Roman-held turf and Persia had a lot to do with the way this early and
most fruitful link got submerged and swamped by later (western) desires for a
more definitive wall between east and west. </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> I'd really like to know more about
the Kabbala. Maybe you could explain its role in all this?</p>
