Mysteries of John

by Charles Fillmore

METAPHYSICAL BIBLE students recognize in the Gospel of John a certain spiritual quality that is not found in the other Gospels. Although this is not true of all Bible readers, it may be said that those who look for the mystical find it in the language of this book. The book is distinctive in this respect and is so successful in setting forth metaphysical truths that little interpretation is necessary. Only in a few instances does the original writing conceal the deep truths that the student seeks to discern. Written language is at best a reflection of inner ideas, and even though a teacher couples ideas and words as adroitly as Jesus does, elucidation is sometimes difficult.

I find this book very clear and extremely helpful/useful. It explains the teachings of Jesus in a spectaculair and very down-to-earth way. I know a lot of people working in the field (theology) and not one of them even heard of this book. I find that unbelievable since it is by far the best book about the biblebook John I ever read! If you are really interested in Jesus'teachings you really need to read this book imho.

A new age teaching on Bible metaphysics. Like Bible commentary, but not as theologically but as metaphysics and symbolism.
