Goodbye letter from Prof. Garb:


I wish to thank all the students who followed us loyally, and especially all those who
submitted and evaluated assignments. I am also grateful for all the warm thanks and also
for all the thoughtful, respectful critiques and requests for further information.
Special warm thanks to Shlomo for his tremendous dedication and wisdom.
In response to many requests for further reading tips, I recommendJohn S. Dunne's books
on Christianity, especially The Mystic Road of Love. Further suggested readings:
David L. Miller's books on psychology and religion;
Victoria Nelson's wonderful books;
David Abram's books on Shamanic phenomenology;
and the Kabbalah lectures athttp://www.kesertorah.org/audio_shiurim.html
There are also some really good Buddhist books on phenomenology of mysticism; I
suggest starting with those of David Loy, Joko Beckand Jason Sif.
As for the many requests for a future course, thank you for your confidence and interest, yet
this depends on many factors many of them not in my control. Yet, we can be reassured
that if our paths are meant to cross they will. In the meantime, my site
athttp://huji.academia.edu/JonathanGarb is constantly being updated, and I believe that
some of my talks can also be found on YouTube
So goodbye, and thanks for all the fish!
