teachings to convey to them but that they were unprepared as yet for their reception. Why? What were these advanced precepts? These secret doctrines, if ever existed, are unrecorded in the New Testament. They would have been an oral-tradition–teachings for the selected few. Are these oral teachings still in existence or are they “lost”? Are they perhaps preserved in the consciousness of the Magi, the wise men of every ancient culture? Are they carefully guarded in certain temples and underground vaults hidden from prying eyes? Are they now being shouted from rooftops? Are they so spiritually scientific in nature that men unprepared with the proper spiritual and scientific training not able to fully grasp their principles and significance? It takes a great mind to know another; it also takes a great mind to understand the great principles and laws of nature. In the early days of recorded history only a few had attained to the desired level of mental and spiritual development and were prepared to further unfold the greatness necessary to grasp Nature’s hidden laws and principles.

The one thing that prevents us from progressing is fear–fear that has been instilled in us by superstition, religious dogma, propaganda, and other false teachings.
