basket cases

For nobody lights a lamp and puts it underneath a bushel basket or in a hidden place. Rather, it is placed on a lamp stand so that all who go in and out may see the light. Saying 33b, The Gospel of Thomas.

We are bushel baskets. Light beings, we weave ourselves clothing and insist we are that clothing. We hide our light. We cluster our thoughts around this chosen shroud. We dare not be naked light shining unadorned.  In trying to make our selves some body, as Jesus says, we become "nobody."

Our consciousness is light, the light of awareness. Awareness courses through the heart brain and the head brain. The light of awareness is seen as the nimbus (whole being aura) and the halo (head aura). The bushel basket of petulance, of self absorption, of singing the song of me, me, me is left behind, vanquished, toodle-ooed. We shine.

  1. "don't hide your light under a basket". love this. have said this many times, particularly to fragile young people bruised by meaningless outward occurences that de-rail them from their beautiful essences.

    i always wondered from where, in the Book, this saying was expressed. thx, brother, geo.

  2. AND. we are made up of "star" matter right? so, also on a scientific physical level this applies in a "real physical sense". in heaven as it is on earth. . . both sides of the veil.

    odd thoughts after my 1st post.
    thx again, brother, geo.

  3. I also get the impression in this Saying that Jesus, as a lit lamp, is (has been made) fully visible to "all who go in and out," viz., the passers by.
