In the beginning was the Word

Aim of the project: The understanding of the Logos as a frame of reference for the exploration and discovery of spiritual reality.

The Gospel of John was included in the canon of the Christian Bible only after considerable resistance. To this day, generations of theologians have failed to grasp its message, if only because its inherent frame of reference transcends the established theological framework.

Only after the symbolic key to the work was discovered could its outstanding significance for the exploration of the spiritual dimension of existence be recognized.
