treasure

You too should seek for long-lasting treasures that do not decay, where moths do not come to eat them or grubs to destroy them. Saying 76b, The Gospel of Thomas.

We are continuously inhaling from and exhaling into the Divine. We are being breathed, though we ignore this great treasure, preferring instead to scamper around in our latest escapades and incessant melodrama.

We will have a final exhalation. We are to follow this last breathing out, this final exhale to the place and treasure of the Mystery that breathes us. We are not to identify with the breathing animal we are, as magnificent and wondrous as it is, but breathe in from and out into the eternal Halation (hale: hearty, whole, holy), That which breathes all.

We are this breathing. We are the rhythmic tide of the Divine. Jesus brings us and wishes us good tidings.

  1. Yes, he certainly tried to. Only those with an open mind and heart seem to be able to comprehend his true meaning. Thanks to your writings on The Gospel of Thomas, more will benefit from his words. Peace Be With You.
