I wandered by and thought I’d leave a comment about the spelling “Cabala” vs. the many variant spellings — this is no mistake, its part of the cryptic message you have received from On High. It goes with the rather negatively put “Ex-Jew” and “Quitting Zionism” (could have been “Beyond-Jew” and “Transcending Zionism”) as an indication of universalizing orientations of QBLH that swap and share with Pagan Greek(Pythagorean), Christian Gnostic and Sufi mystical doctrines. In fact Cabala with a “C” is ultimately based upon a Sufi word game of homonyms having mystical connection to each other (a gematria of sound): Cabala thus relates to medieval Christian and Islamic knighthood mysteries, by emphasizing the homonymic resemblance to “Caballo” or horse in Romance languages like Italian or Spanish (the first open literature of “Cabala” with that “friendly swapping” spirit). Giordano Bruno (that “fiery” Christian Hermetic Cabalist, burned at the stake in 1600) emphasized this aspect of the spelling in the title of his lyrical masterpiece “Cabala Di Caballo Pegasi” or the Cabala of Pegasus — the winged horse of Divine Revelation, as opposed to the Ass of dogma. Bruno shared the same fate as mythic Belerophon, the rider of Pegasus, who was put down for attempting to ride Pegasus to the top of Mt. Olympos, the Divine Abode. Narrow-minded and sectarian Qabalists or Kabalists would sneer at poor Belerophon and say he just wasnt Jewish enough to make it to the top. I like to think otherwise, get on your horse and ride!

Still odd that they would include that as one of there choices as the sample text.

Thanks, Mugsy. At least you proved I wasn’t going crazy…

Although, I would have much preferred to get this message:

“The sex life of the woodchuck is a provocative question for most vertebrate zoology majors.”

FYI – The strange pangrams displayed in the font sample at myfonts.com do indeed change.
A different one appears each time you click the Word “Geneva”. I noticed a line, just below the sample text, that says:

Oh my god, now Moses is posting on my site! (see last person who commented) Let’s just hope that the next person isn’t named Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob.

I’m quite certain that the Kaballah experts agree on exactly how it ought to be spelled, Neil.

The disagreement, of course, is on how it should be transliterated into a Latin alphabet. : )

(But I’m sure you knew that.)

Absolutely serious. But when I tried it again, I didn’t get the same message. There must be some sort of loop. Or IS there?

ARE YOU SERIOUS? I thought you were kidding. I’m going to that site. That is ludicrous, if you are serious.

What if it said, “The former Kaballah convert sobered up and accepted Jesus.” I bet people would be so mad.
