Who understands the mysteries in pagan religions?
In pagan religions, the mysteries at the core are understood only by the inner sanctum—those at the center. People on the fringe do not even know what the mysteries are, but the people at the center do comprehend them.
Les teaches that in pagan religions, mysteries are always at the core. Only the inner sanctum has any comprehension of these mysteries. The people out on the fringe don't even know what the mysteries are, but the people at the center do. This parallels the unknown tongue, where the speaker utters mysteries in his own spirit that no man understands.
