Esoteric Dictionary (The Writings of Jim Berg, MD)

A word opens up a whole conceptual cabinet of ideas. A dictionary has the opportunity to seed the reader’s mind with particular meanings for particular words. The word is not what is important for it is only the container for the valuable seeds of meaning. Jim Berg wrote the Esoteric Dictionary as a conduit to transmit meaningful and valuable ideas. Rather than taking the traditional form of a dictionary like Websters, this dictionary uses anecdotes, stories, and sutra like verses to clarify the meanings. They are designed to provoke insight and to gain wisdom, rather than just adding a piece of information. The value of this dictionary depends primarily on your ability to let these seeds sprout and bear fruit. Seek to understand, and the meaning and value will be revealed.
