Thomas 1:108 … To drink from his Mouth<br />
(11/10/20<strong>16</strong>)<br />
“Whoever drinks from my Mouth will Become as I Am.”<br />
~ Jesus (Gospel of Thomas 108)*<br />
First & foremost, please realize that it is only possible <strong>to</strong> “drink from<br />
another‟s mouth” while doing far more than merely listening <strong>to</strong> his or her words<br />
… Indeed, <strong>to</strong> “drink from the mouth” of a stranger is <strong>to</strong> listen <strong>to</strong> them as if they<br />
were God – <strong>to</strong> “drink from the mouth” of a lover is <strong>to</strong> strive <strong>to</strong> feel their pains and<br />
then honor their Soul‟s deepest desires for Peace & Love – and <strong>to</strong> “drink from the<br />
mouth” of Jesus Christ (or any other Saint or Sage or Teacher) is <strong>to</strong> go forth and<br />
radically put his words in<strong>to</strong> motion.<br />
*See also John 4:13-14, where Jesus says “Everyone who drinks of this<br />
water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I give them<br />
will never be thirsty. For the water that I give becomes in them a spring<br />
gushing up <strong>to</strong> eternal life.”<br />
