Is it correct that this page redirects to Messiah rather than to Abulafia? Tom Harrison ^(talk) 01:16, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Opinions

"Mystical obscurity", "abstruseness", "not very edifying": this may well be the case, but it sounds very much like a value judgement, and an arguable one at that. To preserve Wikipedia's desired "neutral point of view" this should be attributed to a reputable source who holds this opinion. Something like "Kohler describes his writings as mystically obscure, abstruse and not very edifying". That's what I was actually looking for with the {{citation needed}} tag...

Sorry for messing up your heading spacing. I didn't realise you intended it to be like that. Fuzzypeg☻ 04:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I've merged a great deal of mostly repeated text that was recently added by another editor, as well as restoring some text that was lost during their edits. This was a complicated series of edits that I've done here, but basically it consisted of:

• wikifying and editing the new additions
• merging back in details that had been obliterated during that editor's edits
• structuring into the same section structure as was repeated further down the article
• merging each pair of duplicated sections together

Merging always involved keeping the most complete version of any information. I haven't gone through the Writing and Meditation sections looking for repitition, but on first glance they look substantially different. Fuzzypeg★ 06:05, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
