BOOK II, PART II
THE ARCHAIC SYMBOLISM OF THE WORLD-RELIGIONS
—————
“The narratives of the Doctrine are its cloak. The simple look only at the garment — that is, upon the narrative of the Doctrine; more they know not. The instructed, however, see not merely the cloak, but what the cloak covers.
(The Z OHAR , iii., 152; Franck, 119.)
“THE MYSTERIES OF THE FAITH (are) NOT TO BE DIVULGED TO ALL....It is requisite to hide in a mystery the wisdom spoken.”
( Clem. Alex ., “Strom.” 12.)
