I came to the conclusion that most of the people who were interested in understanding the Sefer Yetzirah were people with jobs in the stock market ... and their wives ...

apparently they used the formulas to make themselves incredibly wealthy ... I'm talking "more money than god" ... their wives were deep into the horoscopes ... and planned all their babies (to the moment of conception through a hole in a sheet) - in hopes of getting a reincarnated "saint"

I have never been motivated by money, my interest was good health and getting to heaven (at that time) and I did learn a great deal about "clean" food ... which results in good health ... loved those Mediterranean meals especially on holy days ... when we all danced and sang - the ancient songs
