^to thine own self be true
do what thy (spiritual) will be the whole of the law
Yes, no, yes,
I'm going to split it into three...
I = the physical embodiment of the divine, born in flesh
the way = everything that I have taught through example, parable and direct teaching, everything that the flesh shall endure,
the truth = Universal laws embodied in the Christic Energy Field, the Christic path,
the life = balance in nature, and supra-nature, positive, self and group enhancing guiding principles
no one comes to the father, but through me = it is impossible to reach the utimate spiritual goal without following, to the letter, the full precepts of the faith system to which you subscribe.
The first and last are true true of every spiritual seeker, irrespective of the form in which their goal may be expressed (to sit beside the father in Christian tradition, to become a Buddha in buddhist tradition, etc).
The middle section is specific to the Christian ethos as described by John (and, it should be said, only by John... I'm still not entirely sure how he managed to slip through the editing process... ;-))

The kingdom of God, Jesus replied, is not something people will be able to see and point to. Then came these striking words: “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)
