In the book section https://glorian.org/books different books have different headings for the chapters. I assumed I knew the difference but now am wondering can you clarify.

chapter: https://glorian.org/books/the-mystery-of-the-golden-flower

sample chapters: https://glorian.org/books/the-major-mysteries

chapters include: https://glorian.org/books/beyond-death

I looked at the pages you listed, and it doesn't appear that there is a difference, at least for those books. Often, when we make a book available for reading on the website, we don't have all of the chapters ready in a webpage format to post on the site yet, so we may say "Sample Chapters" or something similar to make people aware that the chapter list may be incomplete. Then when we add more chapters later, we just keep the original language.

For what it's worth, I compared the chapter list on all three of those pages to the chapters in my physical copies of the respective books, and it appears that each page contains all of the chapters available in the physical book. (Though as you probably noted, Beyond Death has some of those chapters nested under other sub-pages because it is a compilation of a few different books and a lecture.)

Learning that there is no deeper meaning to the language differences on the pages may be somewhat unsatisfactory, but Glorian has a very, very small team of volunteers working on this very, very large site, so sometimes things may be slightly less polished than what people may come to expect from larger organizations with more resources. Apologies for the confusion!

will you change the wording? no...it is almost a waste of time, I think, maybe, the elephant in the room is my ego. They all mean the same thing.
