MYSTERIES OF JOHN by CHARLES FILLMORE. METAPHYSICAL BIBLE student,
Tecpgnhe in the Gospel of John a certain spiritual quality that is
not found in the other Gospels. Al though 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 meta physical
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. Nevertheless ideas are catching, and this may be the
best reason for publishing another book about this spirit-arousing
Fourth Gospel. We are all heavily charged with ideas, and when
these ideas are re leased they spring forth and pass from mind to
mind, being recorded as they fly, and when they are expressed the
whole race is lifted up i the idea is charged with the uplifting
Spirit. Jesus was Gods idea of man made manifest in the flesh so He
was warranted in making that dynamic assertion, I, if I be lifted
up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself. Nowhere in all
literature has this truth of the unity o God, man, and creation
been so fear lessly expressed and affirmed by man as in the Book
Here the question arises as to Gods responsibility both good and
evil, whlcli seems to coniound our logic and understanding. We aret
fiit juman consciousness the fruit of a tree that stemnied from the
soil of Being. The laws instituted in the aeons and ages of the
past still prevail in the present. Interpreting Being from a per
sonal standpoint, we have ignored the principles and laws at the
very foundation of all creation and sub stituted a personal God,
and many contradictions have followed. Now through the unfoldment
of the spiritual man implanted in us in the beginning we are
discerning the unchangeable laws of the good and the absolute
necessity of conforming to them. So we see that Jesus taught
plainly that God functions in and through man and nature instead of
being a person somewhere in the skies also that we demonstrate God
by making His Spirit manifest in our life. He that hath seen me
hath seen the Father. Socrates was asked, What is a good man He
replied, A man who does good. Again he was asked, What is good What
the good man does, he replied. No extended definition of good is
necessary to those who follow Jesus even converted savages un
derstand good and do it. The universal desire among awakened
Christians to love God and man is part of the law constantly
operating through man when he finds his right relation to God. The
status of evil is that of a parasite. It has no permanent life of
itself its whole existence depends on the life it borrows from its
parent, and when its connection with the parent is severed nothing
re mains. Apparent evil is the result of ignorance, and when the
truth is presented the error disappears. Jesus called it a liar and
the father of lies. Men personalize good and evil in a multiplicity
of gods and devils, but Truth students follow Jesus in recognizing
the supreme Spirit in man as the one God and Father of all.
