The Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, containing History, Translation,
Commentary, and Insights from a Jungian perspective - - We are born
of wisdom yet unrealized and of divine power, yet undiscovered. We
were created outside the "fullness," but the fullness is within us,
waiting, calling. Deep within there is a divine discontent. We are
homesick for a place beyond where and what we are now. Fear and
attachment hold us, but the gnosis is waiting on the other side. It
is transcendental consciousness brought about by a realization
sparked to flame by God, from his grace, as he answers the pleading
of our hearts. This is the place where angels sing in silence. This
is beyond religion. Religion is made up of commands, resulting only
in ethics, but gnosis changes the heart. The change is the opus.
Our magnum opus is to lay aside our ego and the fear that besets
us, to step outside ourselves and become one, both with our true
spiritual identities, and with God in his wonderful fullness. This
is the peace that passes understanding. This is the Kingdom of
heaven. This is what Carl Jung called, "Individuation." It is
wholeness. It is harmony. It is truth. It is knowing our true self
and our divine nature. With insights gained from the Individuation
process of Carl Jung, the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas bursts into
flames of Gnosis, allowing us to see the truth about the deeper
mysteries of life. If you have ever felt as if there was more to
existence than you could see, that there was another world just
behind the curtain of your mind, just out of reach, which contains
the full truth, the words of Jesus according to The Gnostic Gospel
of Thomas will echo within you and lead you into light.
The events of 1978 saw the death of Pope Paul VI, the election and
unexpected death of John Paul I, and finally the election of John
Paul II. Three Popes in one year propelled the world like a run
away train toward the conclusion of a prophecy given by St. Malachy
in 1139. The prophecy lists 112 Popes. The last Pope would take the
seat of Saint Peter and the world would fall into anarchy. John
Paul II was the 110th Pope. The Pope ruling the Holy See today is
Benedict XVI, the 111th Pope, and according to the prophecy, the
last Pope to rule an intact church and functioning world. The next
Pope will not be the Vicar of Christ. He will be the enemy of the
church, usurper of the throne and he will be called "Peter of
Rome."
Through thousands of years of interpreting the Bible through the
lens of changing languages and societies, and varying regard to
females and feminine qualities, the concept of God has become more
and more male to the exclusion of God's female side of wisdom,
mercy, grace, and nurture. Let us attempt to rediscover the truth
and expand our understanding of the complete and perfect God. If
God is our creator and we were made in the image of God, then God
is both our father and our mother, with a prefect and complete
balance of attributes.The search for the Sacred Feminine is the
search taking place within each of us. It is a search for the
recognition, integration, and balance of our masculine and feminine
attributes. The individual need to find and integrate these
energies is reflected in our evolving society and theologies. After
thousands of years of distortion, it is now time to look at both
sides of God.
