The G-d Who hides Himself
Since its beginning in June of 2007, TorahOutlines has been the quiet repository for a collection of enigmatic and discursive essays—and in due time, "reader-friendly"primers.
No efforts are currently being made* to publicize
the domain address—it's left to web crawlers and search terms to find it; and finders and users to recognize it.
This passive approach to publication is a strategic nod by the author to certain qualities inherent in the writings for which he cannot claim authorship. The essays appear to exhibit a preternatural "watermark" of sorts, for example, with regard to the foundational Outlines:
-
Each of its seven pages has 52 lines, and each page is a discrete composition.
-
Each line of text occupies 55 fixed, equal spaces (the essay was composed on a manual typewriter), except for four lines where the words were stopped short for special emphasis.
-
The essay begs numerical/mathematical analysis (perhaps even in terms—obliquely—of Hebraic gematria), for example: there are 3,636 words in the body of the seven page text.
