was a bit dangerous being a cook back in Bacon's time.

That singular Mathe-matician, learned be yond what the Age he liv'd in did ordinarily bring forth, Roger Bacon an Oxford man, and a Fryer minorite.

Roger Bacon an Englishman, a founded Scholar of Merton-Colledg in Oxford, a very quick Philosopher, and withall a very famous Divine, he had an incredible knowledge in the Mathematicks, but without Necromancy (as John Balleus doth report) although he be defam'd for it by many: Now this man after he had sharply reproved the times wherein he liv'd; these Errours, saith he, speak Antichrist present. Nicholas the Fourth Pope of Rome did condemn his Doctrine in many things, and he was by him kept in prison for many years together; as Antonine hath it in his Chronicle. He flourished in the year of our Lord, 1270.

In Hebrew, each letter also stands for a number (there are no numerals in Biblical Hebrew). Now, the word for bear is spelled dalet bet (DB, pronounced dob; there were no real vowels in Hebrew either: sometimes a consonant could also have a vowel sound, and vowel markings were added later). Dalet is the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, ...[text shortened]... aning,” but all the possible meanings, looking for symbolism, metaphor, word-plays, even puns.

Originally posted by bbarrThank you. That is one of my favorite things: playing with the Hebrew (often meditatively), which I call a "depth language." I haven't done it in awhile, for some reason. Let's say it is one place that I find the philosophia perennis--and Ein Sof. I really ought to thank lucifershammer and the others in this thread--especially you, for the "Why 42...Dammit?"--for getting me into it again. Thanks all.
Now that's what I'm talking about. Thank you, Sir.

Originally posted by bbarrYes, I agree. Some lines (strictly from memory here) of Kabir:
I feel the same way about Sufi poetry, though I am ignorant of Persian.
The Holy One is manifest in a myriad of forms.
I sing the glory of the forms!
(from the Tagore translation).
I also like Hasidic niggun and Sufi quwalli.
