The Hidden Teachings of Jesus

The Gospel of Thomas and Unity

"The Avatamsaka land is a product of our mind.

Whether we live in the saha world filled with suffering, discrimination, and war, or whether we live in the Avatamsaka world filled with flowers, birds, compassion, peace, and understanding is up to us.

Our understanding of the cosmos is a mental construction.

All concepts come from our minds.

If our minds are filled with afflictions and delusions, we live in a world of afflictions and delusions.

If our minds are pure and filled with mindfulness and compassion we live in the Avatamsaka world." - Thich Nhat Hanh

Sayings of Jesus from the Gospel of Thomas:

Jesus, or rather, Christ Consciousness said:

"Those with intellectual knowledge, but are lacking in knowing themselves, are utterly lacking."

Christ Consciousness answered:

"Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find.

When they find, they will be disturbed.

When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will be satisfied."

Christ Consciousness hinted:

"I disclose mysteries to those who are worthy of my mysteries."

Christ Consciousness considered:

"Recognize reality and what is hidden from you will be disclosed.

Everything hidden will be revealed to those who recognize reality."

Christ Consciousness mentioned:

"Do not prevaricate or pretend as all things are disclosed before heaven.

There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed or remain undisclosed."

Christ Consciousness declared:

"I have cast fire upon the Earth, and look, I'm guarding it until it blazes."

Christ Consciousness asserted:

"I am the light that is over all things.

I am all: from me all came forth, and to me all attained.

Split a piece of wood; I am there.

Lift up the stone, and you will find me there."

Christ Consciousness explained:

"If you bring forth divine spark within you, it will save you.

If you cannot find the divine spark within you, it will end you."

Christ Consciousness illustrated:

"The light within is hidden in the Father's light.

The Father will be disclosed, but his image is hidden by His light."

Christ Consciousness granted:

"I will give you what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, what no hand has touched, what has not arisen in the human heart."

Christ Consciousness acknowledged:

"Have compassion for your fellow human beings like you have for your Self, protect them like the pupil of your eye."

Christ Consciousness concluded:

"You see a sliver in a friend's eye, but you don't see the timber in your own .

When you take the timber out of your own eye, then you will see well enough to remove the sliver from your friend's eye."

Christ Consciousness asserted:

"When you see one not born of woman, fall on your faces and worship.

That one walks with the Father."

Christ Consciousness remarked:

"If flesh came into being due to spirit, that is a marvel, but if spirit came into being because of the flesh, that is a marvel of marvels.

I marvel at how this great wealth has come to dwell in this flesh."

Christ Consciousness questioned:

"Have you found the beginning, is that why you are looking for the end?

You see, the end will be where the beginning is.

Congratulations to the one who stands at the beginning as that one will know the end and will not taste death."

Christ Consciousness remonstrated:

"This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away.

The dead are not alive, and the living will not die.

During the days when you ate what is dead, you made it come alive.

When you are in the light, what will you do?

On the day when you were one, you became two.

But when you become two, what will you do?"

Christ Consciousness reminds us:

"I took my stand on the Earth, and in flesh I appeared to them.

I found them all drunk.

I did not find any of them thirsty.

My soul ached for the children of humanity.

Their hearts are blind and cannot see.

They came without possessions, and they will depart without possessions.

Meanwhile they are drunk.

Perhaps if they shake off their wine, they will change their ways."

Christ Consciousness spoke:

"What you will hear with both ears proclaim from the rooftops.

No one lights a lamp, puts it under a basket or in the root cellar.

Rather, one puts it on a lamp stand so that all who come and go will see its light."

Christ Consciousness saw:

"A city built on a high hill and fortified cannot fall, nor can it be hidden."

Christ Consciousness recorded:

"If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a chasm."

Christ Consciousness observed:

"When you can strip without being ashamed, take your clothes and put them under your feet like little children and tramp on them, then will see the Living Savior and you will not be afraid."

Christ Consciousness noticed:

"The Pharisees have hidden the keys of knowledge.

They have not entered and prohibited those who want to enter.

As for you, be as sly as snakes and as simple as doves."

Christ Consciousness mentioned:

"Grapes are not harvested from thorn trees, nor are figs gathered from thistles, for they yield no fruit.

Moral people produce good from what they've stored up in their hearts.

Immoral people produce evil from the wickedness they have stored up in their minds, from overflowing thoughts they produce evil."

Christ Consciousness distinguished:

"From Adam to John the Baptist, among those born of women, no one is so much greater than John the Baptist that his eyes should not be averted.

As I have explained to you whoever among you becomes a child will recognize the kingdom and will become greater than John."

Christ Consciousness remarked:

"An individual cannot mount two horses or bend two bows.

A slave cannot serve two masters, a slave will honor one, offending the other.

Nobody drinks aged wine and immediately wants to drink young wine.
Young wine is not poured into old wineskins, or they might break, and aged wine is not poured into a new wineskin, or it might spoil.

An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment, since it would create a tear."

Christ Consciousness recognized:

"If two make peace with each other in a single house, they will say to the mountain, 'Move from here!' and it will move."

Christ Consciousness denoted:

"If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the Father's Kingdom is in heaven,' then the birds of the sky will precede you.

If they say to you, ' The Father's Kingdom in the sea,' then the fish will precede you.

Rather, the Father's Kingdom is within you and it is outside you.

When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father.

If you do not know yourselves, then you will live in darkness."

Christ Consciousness discerned:

"Congratulations to those who are alone and chosen, for you will find the kingdom within.

For you have come from it, and you will return there again."

Disciples asked Christ Consciousness:

"When will the dead rest in peace, and when will the new world come?"

Christ Consciousness replied:

"What you are looking forward to has come, but you do not know it."

Disciples questioned Christ Consciousness:

"Is circumcision useful or not?"

Christ Consciousness answered them:

"If it were useful, the Father would produce children already circumcised from their mother.

Rather, true circumcision in spirit is profitable in every regard."

Christ Consciousness praises:

"Congratulations to the individual who has toiled and has found life."

Christ Consciousness pointed out:

"Look to the Living Savior as long as you live, otherwise you might die and then try to see the Living Savior, and you will be unable to see."

Christ Consciousness said to her:

"I am the one who comes from what is whole.

I was granted this by my Father."

"I am your disciple," she replied.

"For this reason I say, if one is whole, one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness."

Christ Consciousness requested:

"Show me the stone that the builders rejected: that is the keystone."

Christ Consciousness noted:

"Congratulations to those who have been persecuted in their hearts.

They are the ones who have truly come to know the Father."

Christ Consciousness declared:

"The Kingdom of the Father is like a merchant who had a supply of merchandise and found a pearl.

That merchant was prudent; he sold the merchandise and bought the single pearl for himself.

So also with you, seek his treasure that is unfailing, that is enduring, where no moth or worm comes to eat."

Christ Consciousness asked:

"Why have you come out to the countryside?

To see a reed shaken by the wind?

Or to see conflict with soft clothes, rulers and powerful ones?

Those dressed in soft clothes cannot understand truth."

Christ Consciousness stated:

"Often you have desired to hear these sayings that I am speaking to you.

You have no one else from whom to hear them.

There will be days when you will seek me and you will not find me."

This web site is not a commercial web site and is presented for educational purposes only.

This website defines a new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."

This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the point of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
