Well, yes, that's what I meant. The truth was in there. But it was confusing
and hard to understand, and I think it was purposefully made so. I, for one,
thought something like "I'm not sure, but it might be like this...". The show
really, in any point, doesn't say: "It's like this,...". The book clarifies 
something, but leaves many things unclear.

Actually, yes, sort of. I had read something about Kabbalah after viewing 
the Tv-series, and I sort of roughly quessed :).

Right, you didn't, and I'm not blaming you for it. I just took the opportunity
to express my opinion, that all the things in Eva about NERV, SEELE, Angels,
EVA, and souls was made purposefully hard to understand.
