Description
The central notion of all Sacred Texts is the inner evolution of man, that is, the utilization of a higher level of potentiality which lies within him, but is only accessible through a certain Teaching. For this purpose, the Sacred Texts over the centuries have been conveying this knowledge in a special and veiled language in which words are ascribed both an external and an internal meaning. In the New Testament, the parables and miracles of Jesus are written in this language, functioning as a bridge between the lower/outer and the higher/inner meaning. This language has long been forgotten by man, since he has been cut off from the source of the Teaching that used it. What does "water", "stone", "wine", "earth" "heaven" mean? How should the ideas of Temptation, Good, Wisdom, Justice or Praying be viewed? This and other topics are the subjects that Morris Nichol deals with insightfully in this book, seeking to bring to light part of that lost inner language which is intended to lead man to the highest level of his potentialities and become a New Man.
