Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea that, throughout history, God has intentionally concealed sacred truths from those he deems unworthy. This is not a sign of anger or punishment but is done to keep esoteric knowledge from those who may misuse it. As one tenet of their broader argument, the author suggests that parables were used as a veil over the truth, making hidden meanings only accessible to those who were in the right state of mind to receive them. Likewise, the author posits that Jesus veiled his true nature and power from those who were not ready to accept it and that the disciples were only taught the deeper truths after they had proven themselves through their actions. This concept of holding back sacred knowledge is not limited to the Bible and is found in other cultures and religions as well, attesting to the breadth of this phenomenon. The author concludes that this process of concealing knowledge serves to protect those who are unprepared from harm and ensures that sacred mysteries are only revealed to those who are ready to understand and appreciate them.
