"The pathways of the wonders are like veins in the stock of a tree, and chochmah is the root. They are inner subtle resonances which no mind can contemplate, except that which suckles from it; a mode of contemplation by way of suckling, not by way of knowing."
~ "Rabbi Yitzhak Saggi Nehor, also known as Isaac the Blind (1160–1235 in Provence, France), has the Aramaic epithet "Saggi Nehor" meaning "of Much Light" in the sense of having excellent eyesight, an ironic euphemism for being blind. He was a famous writer on Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism). Some historians suspect him to be the author of the Book of the Bahir, an important early text of Kabbalah." ~ Wikipedia
