Instead I read it like the Dao de ching, a chapter or two, maybe three, and then take a break and let them grow in the mind, think about them, engage with them. Then I read another chapter.>>

Hey Ed, every post by Don Shenkenberger is guarenteed to be a troll.

Yes, and the clams guy cross posts some of my stuff just so he can
make snide remarks and show what a smart guy he is. He'll reincarnate
under anew name in a couple of weeks.
Yup, Clams (or whatever he decides this week) is a total loss.

Btw, after some background research on the Cloud of Unknowing, I now see where the rub is - poor translation of 1600's middle English, coupled with academic over-writing, makes this a book best read in short spurts.

The insights may only be a phrase or two from a given page, but are so well-camouflaged with excess verbiage that reading sequentially obscures them.
Right, we're talking about a scant 114 parables - yet within them the wisdom of a thousand fold or more.It's almost the obverse of the Gospel of Thomas - which as you know eliminated context and went right to Christ's spoken words.Yes! Thomas is very terse, almost too terse. Also not a book that lends itself to reading in one go.
I find that when it comes to spiritual literature, the shorter the work, the more powerful (for me) it is!Ever run into:
Yes, the explanations or commentary have to be taken aside from the internal truths one experiences.These messages can be very personal in the Cloud.Yes! I downloaded a Thomas gospel with some commentary, and when someone else comments its kind of "hit or miss". Some of the comments make perfect sense, while other comments, do not hit the mark at all for me.
🙏Thx again.You're welcome! =)
