John's Gospel is a great study of the spiritual human being; arising from the deepest initiation, this gospel is like a sun above the other gospels, the great message of the spiritual human being to humanity. Luke's Gospel is a mighty portrayal of the life of man in the world of the senses - in the world of feeling - in sacrificial service; Mark's Gospel is a tremendous cosmology; and Matthew's Gospel is a philosophy of history.
