What can be said about it? We can only grasp the Gospels correctly if we know what the mother of a spirit-afflicted personality is in the secret language. We must be clear about who Jesus is talking about when he speaks of his mother, and we must understand this speech in the sense that we learn in occult schools.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XLV.
