“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.” ~Gospel of Thomas

His disciples said to Him, "When will the Kingdom come?" Jesus said, "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'Here it is' or 'There it is.' Rather, the Kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it."

—Gospel of Thomas v 113. Above: the original text (c 60-100 CE). The text bears parallels to Luke and other synoptic gospels, yet it is far earlier than any surviving synoptic text.

[Robert Scott Horton]

“Simon Peter said to them: Let Mary [Magdalene] go forth from among us, for women are not worthy of the life.

Jesus said: Behold, I shall lead her, that I may make her male, in order that she also may become a living spirit like you males. For every woman who makes herself male shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

Gospel of Thomas, 114 (not canonical)

-

“Simón Pedro les dijo: ¡Que se aleje Mariham [Magdalena] de nosotros!, pues las mujeres no son dignas de la vida.

Dijo Jesús: Mira, yo me encargaré de hacerla macho, de manera que también ella se convierta en un espíritu viviente, idéntico a vosotros los hombres: pues toda mujer que se haga varón, entrará en el reino del cielo.”

Evangelio de Tomás, 114 (idk how to say not canonical)

These were so interesting and eye opening about humanities corruption and addiction to having power over others. I just got the gospel of Judas and hope to learn from that as well.

(I’m not Christian either so it was just such a great study)

Jesus said to them, "When you make two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male and the female will not be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter the Kingdom

Gospel of Thomas 22:4-7 (trans. by Marvin Meyer)

Quotes from Many Different Sources on the Spiritual Journey -- Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

Selected Quotes from Many Different Spiritual Masters, Mystics, Scriptures, Gnostic Gospels and Spiritual Classics

For the Sants of the East, all names of the One God represent the Nameless, Formless (Nirguna) God of Love and Compassion Who is Timeless (Akal), Spirit, and Eternal Truth (Sat).

The True Spirit of Simran Practice is Bhakti

“Simran” is a term which means “Remembrance”, the spiritual practice of remembering or being mindful of God by repeating his Name. Devotees sing or chant various names for God. Higher spiritually, and more “within” is the practice of “manas jap”, the mental repetition of God’s name or names “with the tongue of thought” — in other words, chanting names of God within one’s mind. The Sants have always placed much greater emphasis upon mental Simran over vocal chant.

There is however, more to Simran than the repeating of sacred names. Simran must be approached with the right attitude, the right spirit, for one’s intent determines how successful the practice will be, and what effect it will have upon one’s consciousness. Simran has never been intended to be a dry or lifeless mantra practice. The path of the Sants is a Bhakti path, a path of love and devotion for the Supreme Being. Thus, the true Masters have always instructed their students to repeat God’s Name with love and devotion, as a lover calling out to one’s Beloved, the Lord of Love.

Yeshua said:

“If the flesh came into being because of spirit, that is a marvel, but if spirit came into being because of the body, that is a marvel of marvels! Yet I marvel at how this great wealth has come to dwell in this poverty.”

If those who lead you say, 'See, the Kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the children of the living Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty.

—Jesus, as quoted in Gospel of Thomas v 3 (c 50 CE). Below: the quoted text in the form in which it was recovered in the Nag Hammadi papyri.

(Robert Scott Horton)

The Syriac Church of the East is the form of Christianity that's most influenced by the Gospel of Thomas. The Gospel of Thomas is actually quoted in many writings from this School of Saint Thomas, considered to be the founding Apostle. Though not part of their canon of scripture these days, as the Syriac church became part of Orthodoxy, yet the influence of the Gospel of Thomas is stronger in the Syriac east than in any other Christian tradition.

Quote

If your leaders tell you, 'Behold, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will be there before you. If they tell you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Instead, the empyreal sovereignty is within you, and it is outside of you. When you know yourselves, then you will know it, and you will realize that you are the sons of the living father. If however you do not know yourselves, then you exist in poverty, and you are the poverty.

The Gospel of Thomas, Logion 3

Saviors Sell Because They Were Ready To Share

It’s easy to blame the rich for the worlds problems. So many of loathe religious institutions and call for a more rigid asceticism in light of spiritual understanding. However, thinking along those lines actually leads us into another snare. To separate from the world is to miss Yeshuas wisdom completely. Click the link for more.
