Why is it that the truth must be so offensive to us? We discuss the two levels in man about which the Gospels speak. The lower, outer level takes offense at the higher, inner level of a man.

The idea of righteousness in the Gospels and how it applies to us as we attempt to develop spiritually. We discuss what stands in our way and how to address our contradictions.

This section of the book discusses the idea that truth must be supplanted. After serving its purpose truth must take second place to the Good that it has produced, if it has been properly applied.

The whole purpose of esoteric teachings is not simply to gather knowledge of the truth. The truth must lead to something if it is to be any value at all. After we learn of the truth we must develop the will to do the truth for the truth.

The words Christ and Jesus have different meanings in the Gospels. The purpose of truth is to lead us to act from Goodness for the sake of Goodness. The healing of the man at the Pool of Bethesda illustrates the path from truth to goodness.

The hidden meaning of the parable of the healing of the man at the pool of Bethesda. This story is rich with spiritual meaning for those who may have ears to hear.

All truth that does not lead to goodness is no truth worthy of the name. How we can keep on track is by applying knowledge of truth to our own lives until we are in a position to act from good for good only.

For us, the truth is usually apprehended intellectually by gathering knowledge of the truth. This is only half the battle. Truth must be applied to gain the understanding that leads to acting from the truth for the sake of goodness alone.

The difference between Knowledge and Being is discussed as well as the ultimate aim of all esoteric teachings being the idea of Goodness. What part knowledge plays in either bring us closer to the aim or taking us in the opposite direction.

We continue our in depth study of the esoteric meaning of the Wedding Feast at Cana delving deeply into the characters in the story. Three levels are represented by the people and the things used in the story to convey higher meaning.
