22. Esoteric Christianity: The Gospel of St. John and Ancient Mysteries

> In the primeval beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and with God was the Word. > The same was in the primeval beginning with God. > All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. > In Him was the Life and the Life was the Light of men. > And the Light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not. > There was a man sent from God whose name was John. > The same came for a witness to bear witness of the Light, that all might believe on it. > He was not the Light, but a witness of the Light. > For the true Light which lighteth every man, was to come into the world. > It was in the world, and the world was made by It, but the world knew It not. > It came into each individual man (even into the ‘I’ man It came) but the individual man (the ‘I’ man) did not receive It. > Those who did receive It, through It they could reveal themselves as Children of God. > They who trusted in His Name were not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of human will, but of God. > And the Word became Flesh and dwelt among us and we have heard His Teaching, the Teaching of the only Son of the Father, filled with Grace and Truth.
