The vital questions disturbing intelligent, sensitive believers remain unanswered, posing psychological barriers to faith. Jesus taught in parables because it was a common form of expression among the Jews. Yet, the most intelligent of His listeners, the Priests and Pharisees, failed to understand His words. Are Biblical Scholars mired in the same rut? Many passages defy intellectual interpretation. Jesus repeatedly described Man as a Spiritual Being who had to awaken to his inherent spiritual nature in order to grow in spiritual consciousness and in awareness of his own divine potential. This concept does not appear in any translation of His words. Instead, our minds have been filled with knowledge about God and about Jesus, while our indwelling Spirit remains dormant for lack of development. ~ Jesus created new spiritual meanings for the simple words at His disposal ~ a new language in parables. We need to discover this new language by applying all of mankind's accumulated knowledge and experience in the areas of mind~power and metaphysical experiences to the task of revealing this spiritual language. Like Nicodemus, we cannot understand the mysteries of Spirit until we have personally experienced the presence and power of our own indwelling Spirit. We need to believe that we possess this potential. It is through faith in our indwelling power that we open the door to understanding and create opportunities for spiritual growth. The truth emerges as we discover the new meanings through our own spiritual experiences. This book is dedicated to seeking the Truth of our salvation through spiritual understanding of Jesus' teachings. N° de ref. del artículo 7192301
