Weil Did Not Heed her Jewish Understanding of...

 TAFASTA MERUBAH LO TAFASTA.
It is said that it is harder to change one character flaw within ourselves than it is to learn the entire Talmud.
TAFASTA MERUBAH LO TAFASTA
Trying to do too much too soon will often backfire. TAFASTA MERUBAH LO TAFASTA. Taking on too much will leave you with nothing in the end   If we don't have vessels which have the capacity to contain this holy light energy, we will simply burst if we (attempt to) take on the full dose of Kedusha all at once. We must climb rung by holy rung up the ladder of Kedusha. To skip a rung is to risk losing our balance and falling prey to the wild beasts waiting below.
------------------------------------
This no aesthetic meandering.  To transgress proper boundaries, especially spiritual ones, often leads to delusion
and destruction...perhaps, in doing so, we sin by presumptuous pride to the extreme.

On Weil:
What a terrible commentary.
"Weil's is the most comical life I have ever read about, and the most truly tragic and terrible." - Flannery O'Connor, letter, 1955

Lea Ann Payne wrote that 'Discerning the problem of evil and differentiating that from the Good,(is one of the major problems)…and this lack has given rise to the most crucial problem I’ve seen develop within the Church, that of a very real encroachment of alien gods(idols)….I will address two specific manifestations of this:
the rise of a Baal consciousness and of a new gnosticism within Christian circles---basically through Freud and Jung.
A.  The Need for Renouncing Baal---the god of sexual orgy
B.  the Need for Renouncing Gnostic dualism:  the problem of good and evil without the Cross '
=============
I would add another: equally dangerous for our soul:
C. The Need for Renouncing Legalism/Jansenism: Thank God for HIs Sacred Heart
