I find this very interesting. @Fire can attest, when I ran RoS during its testing phase, The Gospel of John became a particular fixation of mine, followed by Luke. And yes, I also noticed the vast symbolic differences between John and the other gospels. I chalked it up to the fact that John was originally written in Greek for a Greek audience, and the Greek philosophers wrote in a more poetic nature than the others, and they didn’t seem to have the same emphasis on genealogy (like you find in Mark) as the others.
But my “second spiritual awakening” occurred after reading Luke 22:10. Will leave it at that. Let’s just say that I understood and suddenly my life and thoughts took a huge humanitarian turn, with a strong emphasis on purification of the mind.
My sabbatical, if it ever happens will probably be one of solitude and focusing deeply on self-love.
