this blog is the continuation of a genuine mystical tradition, unless you get in daily contemplative time and abstain to a significant degree from "entertainment" then you are just wasting your time and mine !
"but i almost certainly never read the entire book, only portions and i find that is enough"
No. You have to sit down and read the book deeply. You can't do this for every book, correct, but it is important to approach the important texts with rigor, otherwise you technically haven't read them.
i don't even think there is such a thing as full reading, for instance i am re-reading "essays in idleness", the tsurezuregusa of kenko translated by donald keene and this time around its like a different book, much more opened up, gentler !
zakaj, sepehr doesn't need defending, actually he's really smart and well ahead of the play as you see it !
you would be better to look at what happens and give us both some credit for knowing what we are doing
its patronising to step in unasked as you have done, and actually you misperceive, all you guru chasing etc and you still don't have any questions about your judgement !

Deletezakaj, you really should look into your history, for her generation it could be lethal to say what you think !
