Ah my dear Salah

I see that you are an enquiring mind and this bids you well amongst us. But know you that there are no final answers amongst us. There is only the eternal question and it is that question which draws us ever forward to what end none that I know can say. Nor will they for to call a thing an end is to cease in all seeking and that would be the death of the soul of man. What is MAN but that he is a 'SEEKER", for if he is not a seeker he will never be a finder. The GREAT Law was not hidden in some place far from the eyes of men. No! It was set in plain sight for all to see but who would have the courage to grasp hold of it for himself? It was only that man who would wrestle with the angel of darkness and even though he be sorely afflicted still he would demand of that dark one a boon and a promise. So was he called Israel and to this day he is remembered amongst my folk.
