This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

"The term madregot comprises the various forms of super?natural revelation,
vision, clairvoyance, telepathy, miracle, healing, release from the
physical, and the like.

"The relation to all these madregot (though they may also be the basis for
'miracles') is like that of the Talmud: an attitude of respect and
deference, together with a certain suspicion and disdain.

Thus, although madregot were considered valuable means, they were never
felt to be the end in themselves."

...

"The madregot are as marvelous as any other spiritual gifts, capable of
bringing much benefit and grace.

"But if they are not used correctly, they can become the very opposite."
