Thomas 1:22 … Making the two into ONE
(10/06/2016)
“When you make the two into One, the Inner like the outer, the outer like the
Inner, and the upper like the lower… And when you make the female and the male
into a single One … When you make Eyes in the place of an eye, a Hand in place
of a hand, a Foot in place of a foot and an Image in place of an image -- then you
shall enter the Kingdom.” ~ Jesus (Gospel of Thomas 22)
This is a brilliantly inclusive way of reminding us all to use the ego to
actualize the True Self – to use the selfish, fear-based inclinations of the ego-self
to empower every subsequent choice that reflects its opposite – to in essence use
the ego to emPower the reawakening of the Soul …
For this is what it means to “make the two into One”, to let the Inner be
reflected in the outer, to join all that was once opposing and use the same to bring
Harmony into one‟s surroundings, to replace mere vision (“an eye”) with deeper
Knowing (“eyes”), to let our normally self-seeking hands be used to Care for
others instead, and our normally fear-based feet be used to carry us boldly towards
those in need.
Amen … Let it be so.
