I enjoyed very much the first read -- it must have struck a chord somewhere.

EPINOIA:

The early church fathers used to speak of a pathway of perception they called epinoia, which meant knowing (God) through intuition and direct revelation, not through the linear and didactic dianonia of logic and doctrine and dogma. Sixteen centuries later Christians are learning the process all over again."

"In antiquity, readers studied the Secret Revelation of John in order to perfect the divine image of their souls; it was composed, translated, and distributed largely to further salvation—[snipped] (King, p 23)"
