Reconciling
The concept of Reconciling opposeing forces is strongly emphasized in the Reconciler
Gospel of Thomas. We do not think there should be anomosity between,
Science/intellect and Religion/spirituality;
RGoT (47) Jesus said, “It is impossible for a person to mount two steeds or stretch two
bows at the same time. It is impossible to serve two Bosses. A person would respect one and treat the other with contempt. This does not mean that Reason and Spirit
are two Masters. Those two should work as a team to reach The One.”
Male and Female;
RGoT (114) Peter said to Jesus, “Let Mary and all the other women leave us. They
are the root and branch of sin. They are the source of all temptation. Women are not worthy of Eternal Life.”
Jesus responded, “I say to you males,
do not look down on a female because until you are made over to be as a female you will be barred from full Inheritance in
the sight of The One.”
Jesus said, “Until you are like the Lowest
of the Angels, being in balance of body and soul. Reconciling of the male and the female, you will remain on the edge of the
Full Glory and Joy of the Brilliance of The One. The One is all that was, is, and will be.”
Being on the edge you will still be Loved,
and Beloved. The One knows that it is a hard lesson to learn. Others will rejoice in the affirmation of what they have learned.
Or like Angels have always known.”
Jesus said, “I myself will lead Mary
of Magdela in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit, resembling you males. Every woman who will
make herself male will become a full Inheritor, as well, in Heaven and full Light of The One.”
Right and Left sides of your brain;
RGoT (33) Share
from the housetops what I will tell you. Remember what I say in the right ear but also hear me with your left ear. (Note:
right and left sides of the brain.) No one can be a light in the darkness
without trying to share that illumination. Everyone who enters this person’s presence will see its light. Not acting
on truth gives consent to the lies. Your silence can not shield you.”
Body and Soul.
RGoT (11) Jesus said, “The Earth and the Solar System will cease to exist. Those who,
walking in the dark, are not alive though they walk around. Those who walk in the light and are aware are not dead and will
not die. You consume what is dead, but by eating it, it becomes part of you and alive again. When you live in the light, how
will you live? When you were born The One in you became two. You became body and soul, how will you reconcile the needs of
both?”
RGoT (22) When Jesus saw suckling infants, he said to his students, these suckling infants are
from The One. Being like them is the way to enter Heaven.”
They asked Jesus, “If
we are innocent like children can we enter Heaven?”
Jesus said, “You
must reconcile the two becoming one again. You must make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside. You
must make the above like the below. You must make the male and the female one and the same. You must make the male not be
only male, and the female not only female. There will come a time when you are able to craft an eye to replace an eye, and
a hand to replace a hand, and a foot to replace a foot, and rebuild a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter
The Kingdom.”
RGoT (87) Jesus said, “Incomplete is the body that is dependent on the body and the
soul that depends only on the soul. Only in the partnership that builds both will you become Whole.”
RGoT (89) Jesus said, “You make a big show of washing the outside of the cup. The
One made the inside as well as the outside. Body and Soul have the same value, together making a whole.”
RGoT (112) Jesus said, “Pity the flesh that depends on the soul. Pity the soul that
depends on the flesh. They must be an equal Partnership, because they are a matched team of horses. Harness them to become
better.”
