Moreno a kabbalist?

[Edward Schreiber]

Hi Saphira,
Wow, great to see your comments on our site!
Hearty welcome.
Just like yourself I see Moreno as a mystic and his methods are in  
that genre and not just held within psychotherapy.  After all, we are  
introducing a person to the forces of creation as a healing practice.
Best,
Ed
