“The master [of Kabbalah in the Bahir] depicts Nature as the King’s emissary, His medium, through which He projects Himself (in humble disguise) into this world. Human thought, also part of Nature, is man’s emissary.

Insofar as it has no end, man may extend himself through thought all the way to the end of the world— to confront G-d. Since all of man’s sensory faculties were no more than extensions of thought, the imaginative faculty was the source and ruler of all created things.

Gazing into the Throne of Glory only meant descending into oneself in order to ascend to the Infinite…”

When you don't have enough study space on the kitchen table... Use the wall ^_^

My table will be like this for the next week(!) while I write my essay on Paul's theology of faith and faithfulness.

ANCIENT SUMERIAN COFFEE CAKE

This is a loaf of bread made in the first century AD, discovered at Pompeii, preserved for centuries in the volcanic ashes of Mount Vesuvius. So it's probably a little dry. The markings visible on the top are from a Roman bread stamp, which bakeries were required to use in order to mark the source of the loaves and prevent fraud. Nobody likes fake bread.
