ROB I really don’t know how you can claim I am qouting “incorrectly” when all I am doing is providing a virtual word for word translation without offering any of my own “interpetations”.
However you asked for the ‘Third Group”.
Here goes.
“The Third goup,and they are so small they are so few it is hardly fitting to call them a group, rather a type. And they are those to whom it is understood the greatness of the “Wise Men” and the goodness of their knowledge from what is found within their words that point to things that are true in a deep way.
And even though these things are few and are scattered throughout in places of their works they point to the “completeness” and that they comprenhended the truth and realized what was things that caused things to stop and what was reality that had to be.
And all that they say do not say idle words.
And it is understood by this group that words of the Wise Men have a plain meaning and a deeper meaning and when they spoke about things that are impossibe they spoke in riddles and this is the way of the Wise Men.
And this is why the Wisest of all Men began his book by stating it is “To understand allegories the words of the Wise Men and their Riddles”
It goes on but I think I’ve written enough.
Of course if you can provide any examples of what I am “not understanding” or what I am not “translating correctly”, please feel free.
