Their power, is not of violence,, aggression; their power is that of compassion.

As a drop of water, poured into wine, loses itself,, and takes the color and savor of wine;, or as a bar of iron,, heated red-hot,, becomes like fire itself,, forgetting its own nature;, or as the air,, radiant with sun-beams,, seems not so much to be illuminated, as to be light itself;, so in the saints, all human affections melt away, by some unspeakable transmutation, into the will of God... For how could God, be all in all,, if anything merely human remained in man?... The substance will endure,, but in another beauty,, a higher power,, a greater glory.

Translated by Stephen J. Patterson and James M. Robinson*
..............................................................................................................................
These are the hidden words that the living Jesus spoke.. And Didymos Judas Thomas, wrote them down...
...............................................................................................................................
(1) And He said: “Whoever finds the meaning of these words will not taste death.”..............................................
...............................................................................................................................
(2) Jesus says:
(1) “The one who seeks, should not cease seeking, until he finds...
(2) And when he finds,, he will be dismayed...
(3) And when he is dismayed,, he will be astonished...
(4) And he will be king over the All.”.....................
........................................................................................................................................
(3) Jesus says:
(1) “If those who lead you say to you: ‘Look,, the kingdom is in the sky!’,, then the birds of the sky, will precede you...
(2) If they say to you: ‘It is in the sea,,’ then the fishes, will precede you...
(3) Rather,, the kingdom is inside of you, and outside of you.”...
(4) “When you come to know yourselves, then you will be known,, and you will realize, that you are the children of the living Father...
(5) But if you do not come to know yourselves,, then you exist in poverty,, and you are poverty.”
' Your Greatest Treasures '...
“Simplicity,, patience,, compassion...

you accord with the way things are...

you reconcile all beings in the world.”..

' The Perfect Mystic '...
The perfect mystic, is not an ecstatic devotee lost in contemplation of Oneness,, nor a saintly recluse, shunning all commerce with mankind,, but, "the true saint", goes in and out amongst the people, and eats and sleeps with them, and buys and sells in the market, and marries, and takes part in social intercourse,, and never forgets God,, for a single moment.

The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth, is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth,, and truth be defamed as lie,, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world - and the category of truth versus falsehood, is among the mental means to this end - is being destroyed.

' Beyond the Physical World '...
“And the day when the soul realizes itself,, that day a new life begins, a new birth... It is the self-realized soul which grows,, which expands.. So long as the soul has not realized itself,, it does not develop,, it does not grow... Therefore, it is at the moment when the soul begins, to realize itself, that a man really begins to live in the world... But it must be understood, that the magnetism of the self realized soul, is greater than any magnetism, one could ever imagine... It is power,, it is wisdom,, it is peace,, it is intelligence,, it is all... It is this magnetism that heals,, heals bodies and heals minds;, and it is this magnetism, that raises those fallen into difficulties,, in pain and sorrows... It is this magnetism, that brings others out of their confusion,, their darkness... It is by this magnetism, that the illuminated souls, spread out their love,, thereby attracting all beings... It is of this magnetism, that Christ said to the fishermen,, “Follow me,, and I will make you, fishers of men.”... It is with this magnetism, that the great ones,, such as Buddha,, such as Moses,, Christ,, Muhammad,, came and attracted humanity... And humanity, during the ages has not forgotten... It is their magnetism, which, after their having left this earth,, has held millions and millions of people, in one bond of brotherhood,, of sympathy,, of friendship... The immense power, that the soul-magnetism gives, shows that it is divine magnetism... It is a proof, of something behind the seen world.”.......................

' Eternal Existence '...
Most souls,, have a desire for eternal existence.. this is actually a
desire of the ego.. who is existing?.. personality... you can choose any
personality.. If you wish to forever be the personality called God,, then, You
will exist as Divine Consciousness,, but, then, You will still not experience the
Freedom of Non-Desire, called Nothingness............. namaste, thomas
' Stand in Pure Awareness '...
Stand in your original state of wholeness,,
the state before you were born, when there

Awareness.

' True Being '...
For if you are caught up in ideas,, then you will be caught up in the
self... And even if you are caught up in ideas about nothingness,, you
will still be caught up in the self... That's why we should not get
attached, to the belief that things either exist or do not exist... This
is the hidden meaning, when I say, that my teachings are a raft to be
abandoned, when you see true being.

' The Beauty of Sophia '...
“In Arabic to say,, for example,, "Wisdom is precious,".. you could repeat the feminine pronoun: al-hikmah hiya thamînah,, literally "Wisdom,, she is precious.".. It is stated by some Sûfî Sheikhs (Masters), that Sûfîsm originally, was named Sophia,, which connects Sûfîsm with the Christian Gnostic tradition,, in which Wisdom is personified as a woman,, the divine Sophia... The physical mother of Jesus, was an external image of manifestation, of the Virgin Sophia,, the word 'Sophia', stemming from Sophos (wisdom)... The Gnostics,, whose language was Greek,, identified the Holy Spirit, with Sophia,, Wisdom;, and Wisdom was considered female.”

........................................................................................................................................
Live in the world as if only God and your soul were in it. Strive to preserve your heart in peace; let no event of this world disturb it. Silence is God’s first language; everything else is a poor translation.
........................................................................................................................................
In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God. To come to the pleasure you have not, you must go by a way in which you enjoy not.
........................................................................................................................................
The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of divine union. God refuses no one the gift of divine union; it is we who refuse God by our attachments.

Where there is no love, put love — and you will find love. In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone............................. from Niraj Agarwal, Ph.D.

I have no right to call myself one who knows..

By whose alphabet the hidden becomes the manifest..
Therefore,, you have no need to look beyond yourself,,
What you seek, is within you,, if only you reflect.

But,, did the Divinity [of Christ] suffer?

They explained, that when the blacksmith strikes the red-hot iron,, the hammer is actually striking, both the iron and the fire united with it.. The iron alone bends (suffers),, whilst the fire is untouched, though it bends with the iron.
