Excerpt from The Magical Message According to Ioannes: Commonly Called the Gospel According to (St.) John, a Verbatim Translation From the Greek Done in Modern English With Introductory Essays and Notes
Concerning Deity and Nature, and the rela tion of man to both, the teachings of the New Testament do not difier from those of any other ancient religious cult or philosophical system. However dissimilar these various systems may be in their external forms of expression, their nomenclatures, symbologies, and formulations, they are yet at one on every fundamental prop osition. This essential unity of all the old re ligions and philosophies is clearly apparent to every one who studies and compares them with a mind open to receive truth from any source and a heart in sympathy with the nobler aspi rations of humanity which seek expression in every age. As an introduction to the profoundly mystical and philosophical Evangel of ioann�s, a brief summary is here given of the basic con cepts common to all the old philosophies, and of the mystical tenets as to the nature of man and his place in the universe, material and divine.
