I used to like the Gospel of John when I was young, naïve & drunk on spiritual liberation. but reading it now, it is disappointing to read how
wrong & contradicted it is
it says:
the above is contradictory. this 'John' contradicted Jesus, since Jesus correctly said flesh gives birth to flesh & spirit gives birth to spirit
the Word did not ever become flesh. this is non-sense. what occurred is the Word (realisation of truth) came to abide in the spirit (mind) that existed in the flesh that already existed
every human being, including baby jesus, is born devoid of spiritual knowledge. but as each human being matures, they grow in understanding. some few unique beings grow so much in proper wisdom of the Logos (natural harmony/order/law) the word is fully manifest into their body (flesh) and mind
thus the Word becomes fully manifest in the Flesh. but this Flesh existed before the Word completed its full manifestation
it is like a flower than fully matures from a seed planted in fertile soil. here, we do not say: "the flower became soil or the seed become soil". instead, the seed took root & blossomed in the soil. similarly, the Word took root & blossomed in the flesh
please understand the flesh is something intrinsically
inanimate. the Word cannot become flesh. however the spirit abides in the flesh & the Word manifests in the Spirit which abides in the NEUROLOGY in the flesh
