Such an obscure phrase is the felon's recently used "hem of the infinite"
that I felt compelled to do some googling. Didn't get many hits, however,
one big fat hit came from a Krishnamurti related website - BIG SURPRISE!

"Everything about him - the villagers, the animals, the trees, the grass -
was intensely alive, brilliant in its vitality and loveliness. It had taken
him all these years to touch the *hem* *of* *the* *Infinite*, he said, and
it was amazing that he had survived it all."
*emphasis added

Here is a second hit, this one clearly written by a "wordsmith" that our
convicted criminal likes to call all others who use linguistic gymnastics
to convey a point.

"He went with the white angel from the vestibule to the empty sepulcher,
past a pitchy torch oranging the stonework, the walls' dampness soaking
his fingers, him nodding, knowing, decades before she left him back there
on the steps, holding the rail, touching the *hem* *of* *the* *infinite*,
weeping to see the goodness of this world laid bare."
*emphasis added

Finally, there is this little gem, written in 1883, the convict is ancient,
but not so much as to be able to take credit for originating his obscure
little phrase. This excerpt is brought to you by an essay called "Christian
Affirmation" penned by one Henry Wilder Foote. Xtianity is one of spamboy's
favorite targets of attack.

"But those can only apply to physical phenomena: they can never touch more
than the *hem* *of* *the* *infinite* garment, not the Infinite Being."
*emphasis added

How many hits total? All of six. The other three? The felon, in all his
self-perceived glory using this obscure phrase which clearly was originated
by another, once, twice, and again for a third time in different "dialogues."

In light of the failure of his cheesy phamplet, one that was so horrible
that only a vanity printer would reproduce it, I can understand the convict's
*need* to polish his language "skills" but if he is reduced to "borrowing"
phrases from other sources, perhaps he should simply find a hobby better
suited his intellectual capability - such as playing with matches.

For additional reading, examine the likely orgins of "Mirror of Truth"

Perhaps it came from a Calvinist - http://tinyurl.com/yapyqh
