Sanford Drob's books are a gift to the world and powerfully written, and makes fascinating reading. Drob offers us his genius in order to present a compelling new argument in his book, the "Post Modernism; A Dialogue that takes the reader to recognizing a new foundation for language, as well as, a greater insight into psychology, mysticism, traditional religion and faith. His conclusions are rich, vivid, and contemporary with his propositions honestly, and generously put forth. Drob's Kabbalistic perspectives "extra-linguistic's" are as applicable to the role of language in Psychology/Philosophy/Theology i.e. dictum as that of many Western/Eastern writers.

I have read all Sanford Drob's books [@ 5 stars ea] sold on Amazon. I recommend ALL of his books for those readers who are looking to understand the Lurianic Kabbalah. You really should before reading the incredible book "Post Modernism; A Dialogue; read first; Drob's other books: the "Kabbalistic Metaphors"/ "Symbols Of The Kabbalah"/ and "Kabbalistic Visions CG Jung and Jewish Mysticism. Each book does become I believe for the reader a very personal process: it was for me "as it were, "setting a place for Elijah". Starting out reading ALL these books I thought I was well journeyed and read. However, each of the books are individually like lenses that did change my perspectives and prepared me with the knowledge I needed to read the book "Post Modernism; a Dialogue.

In Drob's book "Post Modernism; A Dialogue this literature does provide magnificent statements to understand how the Lurianic myth can be understood as a model of human creativity and explores the idea that the Lurianic dynamic is echoed in every act of language, and that it indeed reflects the very structure of writing and speech. And Drob will argue every time we write or speak we, in effect, set the Lurianic dynamic in motion. This to me was parallel from the diverse source of Biocentrism: the universe is created and re-created in our consciousness every time we interact with it and this is its most important moment of creation. This brought to mind for me; a new understanding of the nature of life by finally giving the Lurianic myth its due, as this argument of Drob brings forth a new grand entrance: to examine in greater detail, to account for the complexity of human life, or human health. I look forward to reading more from Sanford Drob.
