    I've been reading the Menzi/Padeh translation of Chayyim Vital's introduction to Luria's system, Etz Chayyim, & while reading the section on Olam ha-Nekudim I was struck by the similarities between Vital's description thereof & Crowley's Vision of the Star Sponge ...anyone else think there might be a plausible connection there?

    Yes, I think so but would like to know where to buy the book - Lurianic Cabala is responsible for a lot of nonsense about "Daath", because the shortage of, and difficulty of obtaining earlier Cabalistic documents made it impossible for the Cabalists of that age to realise that earlier references to Daath were simply a shorthand way of describing the upper triad, just as "En Sof" was used as a shorthand way of describing en, en sof and en sof aur. This led to the error of thinking that "Daath" was some hidden eleventh sephirah.
    I haven't seen a good book on Jurianic Cabala so would like more info.
