Mysteries of John

The Mysteries of John was written and published in 1946. It is one of the basic books containing Charles Filmore's inspired thinking and teaching, which we regard as a vital part of our spiritual heritage. Charles Filmore was an innovative thinker, a pioneer in metaphysical thought at a time when most religious thought in America was entirely orthodox. He was a lifelong advocate of the open, inquiring mind, and he took pride in keeping abreast of the latest scientific and educational discoveries and theories. Many years ago he wrote, "What you think today may not be the measure for your thought tomorrow"; and it seems likely that were he to write this book today, he might use different metaphors, scientific references, and so on. Truth is changeless. Those who know Charles Fillmore best believe that he would like to be able to rephrase some of his observations for today's readers, thus giving them the added effectiveness of contemporary thought. But the ideas themselves - the core of Charles Fillmore's writing - are as timeless as when they were first published.
