31 by ### . . .the reason I believe that there were so many variations of "length of life" considerations and why the actual number of potential "hylegs" is much larger than what is commonly referred to today. It wasn't a contradiction when Paulus and later Masha'allah spoke of using the Lot of Spirit as a Hyleg. Not when you understand what the Lot of Spirit signifies. In one case Umar used the distance of Mars from the chart luminary, the Moon to determine the length of life. Now wait a minute! After all the hyleg discussions around here covering pretty much the same territory it's now all of a sudden 'By the way folks, they really used a lot more hyleg options'. Why didn't anyone say earlier that it's OK to traipse through the fields gathering hylegs? Those 'twists' are now becoming sharp turns. Quote Tue Aug 18, 2009 8:31 pm
