Robert Hoffstein explains that words are not arbitrarily chosen but constructed on ageless principles, an awareness of which allows us to communicate with more understanding and potency. With humor and insight, the author analyzes the esoteric meaning of words and letters we use every day, relating them to ancient alphabets and symbolic language.
This appears to be a rare gem, filled with insight and connection. Attention and rereading required. These are "esoteric" connections as to etymological. This work is similar to W. Eisen's exhaustive analysis, without the geometry, tarot keys and apparent contrivances. If Mr. Hoffstein were able to convincingly blend these three arenas this book would be even more the classic. We hope he's on to some follow ups.
