Just formalizing something Dan has been telling us here for a while... Ein Sof = Nagual (this Kabbalistic description of the world is very similar to the sorcerer's explanation).

Of course, as usual, not as sophisticated as Carlos' lineage. They seemed to know of the existence of only 10 positions of the A.P, and all related to God ("The Mold of Man").

Right close after your queue point he essentially is describing our universe as an Intent Bubble, and only one out of many.

exactly
edit: he even talks about the basic emanations "sefirot", and how we can only use the one on our feet (similar to what Carlos says in the Mudshadows chapter); the material reality we are stuck with (supposedly because of the Flyer's pruning) and how if we reach the crown chakra we achieve an epic level of perception (silent knowledge Ig).

It really is.

Which makes them more accountable in my opinion.

And brings up the following questions:

Why did they decide to deceive people about inorganic beings?

Why did they invent "the controversy" between God and a non-existent demon called Lucifer? Or perhaps someone saw a Lucifer at one point, but I assure you, Fancy can do that too.

Which still leaves them deceiving the population.

Why were they afraid of witches ("Thou shalt not suffer a Witch to live")?

Why did they tolerate, even give a "nod" to, but make fun of sorcerers? (See Balaam's talking donkey, due to his greed.)

Why did they see the future so well? According to their own writings, it was to convince people they were telling the truth about God, claiming only God can predict the future.

And ignoring that humans can see the future too.

Why don't Kabbalists learn to be friends with inorganic beings, when it's so easy?

Are they making up stuff, based on what they were taught?

Or does it spoil their book deal to tell the truth?

Just formalizing something Dan has been telling us here for a while... Ein Sof = Nagual (this Kabbalistic description of the world is very similar to the sorcerer's explanation), was the OP's title for this user-deleted post, which had no other content.
