Kabbalah scholars point out that one of the defining characteristic of the Zohar mystics is that illumination happened not in solitary retreat but in groups engaged in sacred conversation.

Fulfillment comes not from escaping but from engaging.

So carefully watch and you will see that a millisecond before you are moved to casual slander you touched a moment of emptiness in yourself. Something in the mention of a person’s name or in the topic of conversation subtly, almost invisibly, challenged your self-worth, adequacy or dignity. Imperceptibly, your system moves to fill the emptiness with a quick hit of fullness — pseudo eros – gossip.
