[{(!)}]
VARIOUS
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE HISTORY OF JEWISH MYSTICISM
[ARE TO BE EXPLAINED AS] AN ONGOING COMPETITION
AND SYNTHESIS BETWEEN TWO MAIN VECTORS:
THE APOTHEOTIC AND
THE THEOPHANIC.

THE FORMER
REPRESENTS THE IMPULSES
OF A FEW ELITE INDIVIDUALS TO TRANSCEND THE HUMAN MORTAL SITUATION
THROUGH A PROCES OF THEOSIS, BY ASCENDING ON HIGH, TO BE TRANSFORMED
INTO A MORE LASTING ENTITY,
AN ANGEL
OR G D.

IN CONTRAST TO
THIS UPWARD ASPIRATION
IS THE THEOPHANIC VECTOR,
WHICH STANDS FOR THE REVELATION OF THE DIVINE
IN A DIRECT MANNER OR VIA
MEDIATING HIERARCHIES.
