The Gospel of Thomas

Logion 1:

He said, Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death.

Interpretation:

People hover between life and death, being aware of, but experiencing neither in its fullness. They
find themselves between the light of Heaven, and the darkness of ignorance. They are not sure of
what they are, (a spiritual or a physical being). They are not sure who they are, (a child of God, or a
child of the world). They are not sure where they came from, (the spiritual realm or the material
realm). Because of this, each of them experiences a mind that is divided, and they are torn. In this
state suffering is inevitable. First they go one way and do wrong to others, and then they go the
other way, and they are then tormented by what they have done.

A person may go one of two ways, either towards Love and Truth where life is found, or towards
complete ignorance of these things, which is the death spoken of. Those who search and find the
true meanings of the secret sayings, will not experience spiritual death, which results in the
complete loss of their true identity as a spiritual being. To be spiritually dead, also incurs the
complete loss of empathy for all living things, which means that Love cannot be experienced, and
that Truth cannot be known. This leads a person to believe that life has no meaning other than to
serve ones own selfish needs.

To find the interpretation of the secret teachings, a person must first have a measure of Love, a
realization of Truth, and a measure of the realization that they are not a physical being.
Those who are able to understand the sayings, and believe with sincerity, will come to know
themselves, and will come to be known as the sons of God.
See John1:3 Beloved, now are we the sons of God.

It is not enough to simply read the interpretations, one must see and understand the Truth in them,
and recognize it in the heart.
Also see in John 8:51: Believe me when I tell you that if anybody accepts my words, he will never
see death at all.

Logion 2:

Jesus said, Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become
troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All.

Interpretation of: Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds.

To seek is to search for. In the context of this logion, the search relates to coming to know yourself
and the true nature of what the Self is. So the questions to which answers must be sought, relate
solely to the Self, such as, I am? or, what am I? or, to what am I referring to when I use the word
I? What is the nature of this thing that I am, this I that looks out into the world, but remains
separate from it?

To come to know yourself, you must first realize what you are not, then you will be left with the Self.
To search is to question. To continue searching is to question beyond ones own beliefs, and the
beliefs of others. That which we desire to be true is not always true, and so a person must look
beyond what they personally desire to be true.

The Truth is that which cannot fall and it has no fear of questioning. The Truth is unchangeable and
eternal. Knowledge of the material realm is knowledge of that which is without life and is outside of
the Self. The knowledge that is profitable to the Self, is knowledge of the Self, and that is why it was
said that you must come to know yourself. It is the nature of ones own being that is eventually
found by those who keep searching.

Interpretation of: When he finds, he will become troubled.

When you realize that you are not of the world (not a physical being), then you will realize that you
are separated from it, and alone in a place that can be seen as a fortress or a prison (the mind). It is
then that you will become troubled as you realize that there is no escape from your domain/mind.

Interpretation of: When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished.

When you realize that you are not of the world (not a physical being) and that you are not in the
world, and you realize that you need nothing of the world to sustain your existence. When you also

realize that there is nothing that is of the world or materiality that can penetrate into your
mind/domain, and cause damage to the Self, then you will become astonished, fearless and
empowered as your own master, an untouchable, uncontrollable, free willed spiritual being.

Interpretation of: And he will rule over the All.

The All refers to all of reality, both spiritual and material. It is the substance that all things (forms)
are made from and are within. It is an infinite field of indestructible, eternal energy.
The material and spiritual realms, including the Father, Heaven, the Self, and the mind are all a part
of the All. Each and every form of reality are components of the All. In this respect we are all one,
and individuality is only found in the uniqueness of the form that each component of the All takes,
and in the awareness, desire and will of each soul.

It is the sentient (living, conscious, aware) Self, that has come to know itself as a spiritual being,
which then rules over the All. Until that Self-realization is achieved, the Self finds itself clinging to
and enslaved by a world, whose ways it feels compelled to conform to. Because of this, (even though
the Self has free will) it finds its desires and will, easily manipulated by others. In this situation, the
Self is not free, not its own master, but rather it is the servant of materiality and those who serve it.
The Self that has come to know itself, has no masters and as a free-willed, sentient being, it rules
over All that is not sentient.
The Truth will set you free.

Also in Logion 77; Jesus said, Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will
find me there. He was referring to the All that he came from and was a part of.

Comment: What greater gifts can a man give another, that he teach him Truth, set him free, Love
him as a brother, and if necessary, suffer and give up his physical body for these things?

Logion 3:

Jesus said, If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the
sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the
kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will

become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will
not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty.

Interpretation of: If those who lead you.

This is a reference to other religious teachers.

Interpretation of: 'See, the kingdom is in the sky, then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they
say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you.

Simply put, the Kingdom is not a material place. Neither is it a material thing, and is not a part of the
material realm. Such teachings emanate from the minds of the spiritually blind and dead, and it is
why those teachers were referred to as the blind leading the blind. What such religious teachers
taught was, and is, a religion based on materiality, which included a physical god, who inhabited a
material place. If the Kingdom were in the sky or the sea, then no religious teachings would be
needed to reach it and the gates to the Kingdom would be wide open for even the most evil of
persons to reach and enter.

Interpretation of: Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you.

Simply put, your mind is the Kingdom, or rather a part of it, as are other peoples minds.
The mind is the spiritual Selfs personal domain, the place that the Self inhabits and rules over. Each
spiritual being, including God, has their own personal domain (mind), and so the Kingdom is inside of
you, and outside of you. When you close your eyes and look inside your mind, it is your Kingdom
that you see. It is a little piece of the Fathers Kingdom that was given to you, and without which it
would not be possible to experience consciousness or life, for the Self without a mind can
experience nothing.

Interpretation of: When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will
realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father.
When you come to fully realize your true nature as a spiritual being (Self-realisation), then you will
become known in the Kingdom of the Father, and you will realize that it is you who is a son of the
living Father, and your mind will have become prepared as a bridal chamber. If your faith in Love is
sufficient, then full communion with the Father will occur and your new mind will have become a
shared part of the Fathers Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven is the home that you left. It

is Heaven that was your Mother, and it is the little piece of Heaven that was given to you that is
referred to as your wife. That is why it was said, a man shall leave his mother and cleave to his wife.

Interpretation of: But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that
poverty.

If you will not come to know yourself, then you dwell in a place of ignorance, in a Kingdom/mind
that has no lasting treasures of Love and Truth. For if the Self is not known, then how can there be
unbreakable faith in such things? It is the state of the mind that determines the state of the Self. If
there is poverty in the mind, then there is poverty in the Self, and what is in the Self is a part of the
Self. Therefore if you dwell in a place of poverty, you become that poverty.

Logion 4:

Jesus said, The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place
of life, and he will live. For many who are first will become last, and they will become one and the
same.

Interpretation of: The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the
place of life, and he will live.

The man always represents the spiritual Self, the I, in I am.

The man old in days refers to the spiritual Self, which pre-existed its new mind and physical body.
The seven day old child refers to the spiritual Self, on its seventh day of its new life journey. At this
point in time, the spiritual Self has no problem realising that it is the life, and because of this, it lives,
for there is no ignorance of itself in its mind. It was said in Matthew 18:3: Verily I say unto you,
except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of
heaven.

Interpretation of: For many who are first will become last, and they will become one and the same.

There is the soul (the Self and mind) and there is the physical body. The soul existed before the
physical body and so was first.

When the Self forgets its true nature as a spiritual being, it comes to believe that it is the physical
body, and thereby Self-realization is lost. It is then that the two become one, because the Self sees
no difference between itself, and the physical body.
Note: The Self, the mind and the body are three separate and distinct things. The first two are of the
spiritual, and the third is of the world.

Logion 5:

Jesus said, Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to
you. For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest.

Interpretation:

That which is in your sight, is sight itself, the observer that is you. If you recognize this, your Self will
become plain to you. In Truth you cannot hide from yourself, you can only choose to ignore the true
nature, of what you refer to, when you use the word I. It is as if the Self hides from itself, in plain
view of itself. That which is most obvious, usually receives the least amount of attention, and
through ignorance comes forgetfulness. It is the Self that is taken for granted, as its relevance is
ignored. There is a difference between knowing, and realizing the importance of what it is that you
know.

A person may say I know I am a spiritual being, but when the full realization of what they profess to
know is revealed to them, it is like an earthquake that has shaken the soul, and caused a paradigm
shift in consciousness, a rebirth .

The Self is incredibly obvious, but people are led to only focus on, and recognize things that are
outside of the Self, that is the mind, and the material things of the world.
That which is hidden from you is your Self, and the only way to find your Self, is to ignore the world
and its endless cry for your attention.

Logion 6:

His disciples questioned him and said to him, Do you want us to fast? How shall we pray? Shall we
give alms? What diet shall we observe?" Jesus said, Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate,
for all things are plain in the sight of heaven. For nothing hidden will not become manifest, and
nothing covered will remain without being uncovered.

Interpretation of: Do not tell lies.

If you tell lies you may deceive others, but you cannot hide the lies from yourself, and then knowing
that you have lied, you will have put on the garments of self-condemnation and shame. It is better to
die in Truth than live in the denial of it.

Interpretation of: And do not do what you hate.

You must do what is in your heart. To do otherwise is to do what you hate, and to make yourself a
deceiver. There is no profit for the soul in doing things that are absent of sincerity. If you do what
you hate, then you will become the servant of what you hate, and what you hate will become your
master.

Interpretation of: For all things are plain in the sight of heaven. For nothing hidden will not become
manifest, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered.

In the Kingdom of Heaven the mind is an open book. This Gospel of the Kingdom has not been given
to condemn those who have sinned, but rather it is given to prepare those who know they have
sinned, and wish to turn from sin, and enter the Kingdom of Heaven. It is for these sinners that
Christ came. Those who sin and do not realize that they have sinned, (the spiritually blind and dead),
remain in their innocence, for they know not what they do.

Logion 7:

Jesus said, Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man; and cursed is the man
whom the lion consumes, and the lion becomes man.

Interpretation:

A person may have two self-identities/two egos; one as a spiritual being, and the other as a physical
being. The two self-identities cause the mind to be divided, which results in a struggle between the
two, until one is consumed and the other becomes the master, resulting in an undivided mind. Either
one of these self-identities may eventually have complete domination.

The lion represents the self-image of being a physical body.

The man represents the true image of being a spiritual being.

Blessed is the Self who knows his true identity as a spiritual being, and consumes the false identity of
being a physical being.

Cursed is the Self who believes that he is no more than a physical being, and consumes his true
identity as a spiritual being.

Logion 8:

And he said, The man is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew it up from the
sea full of small fish. Among them the wise fisherman found a fine large fish. He threw all the small
fish back into the sea and chose the large fish without difficulty. Whoever has ears to hear, let him
hear.

Interpretation of: The man is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea.

The man who is like a wise fisherman, is a reference to both Jesus and his disciples. See in
Matthew 4:19: And he said unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

The casting of the net refers to attracting people with the Christ teachings.
The sea refers to the collective minds of possible converts.

The small fish represents the souls that were attracted, but were not spiritually aware enough to
receive Christs teachings. Such people are left until they grow spiritually.

The large fish refers to the person whose soul was spiritually aware enough, and therefore worthy
to receive Christs teachings. See Logion 62: It is to those who are worthy of my mysteries that I tell
my mysteries.

The wise teacher has no problem choosing worthy students.

Interpretation of: Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.

Let those who are capable of understanding the secret meanings of what I say, hear what Im really
saying. In other words, what was said was for those who understood the secret meanings.

Logion 9:

Jesus said, Now the sower went out, took a handful (of seeds), and scattered them. Some fell on
the road; the birds came and gathered them up. Others fell on the rock, did not take root in the soil,
and did not produce ears. And others fell on thorns; they choked the seed(s) and worms ate them.
And others fell on the good soil and it produced good fruit: it bore sixty per measure and a hundred
and twenty per measure.

Note: Before we consider the meaning of Logion 9, we must first take into consideration, its related
scripture interpretation in the New Testament.

See in Mark 4:13-20: Then he continued, Do you really not understand this parable? Then how are
you going to understand all the other parables? The man who sows, sows the message. As for those
who are by the roadside where the message is sown, as soon as they hear it Satan comes at once
and takes away what has been sown in their minds. Similarly, the seed sown among the rocks
represents those who hear the message without hesitation and accept it joyfully. But they have no
real roots and do not last - when trouble or persecution arises because of the message, they give up
their faith at once. Then there are the seeds which were sown among thorn-bushes. These are the
people who hear the message, but the worries of this world and the false glamour of riches and all
sorts of other ambitions creep in and choke the life out of what they have heard, and it produces no
crop in their lives. As for the seed sown on good soil, this means the men who hear the message and
accept it and do produce a crop - thirty, sixty, even a hundred times as much as they received.

The meaning is spelt out quite well in the Gospel of Mark, but there are still a few things that need
explaining to fully understand what has been written.

Interpretation of: Now the sower went out, took a handful (of seeds), and scattered them.
The sower is the one who is teaching the message of Christ. The handful of seeds represents the
teachings. The scattering of the seeds represents giving some of the teachings to the people.

Note: The first thing to notice is that both the Logion and its related scripture, take into
consideration four different types of people, and their reactions when they receive the teachings.

Interpretation of: Some fell on the road; the birds came and gathered them up.

Some teachings were listened to by onlookers , who were referred to as birds, because they
thought they were already free, and had all that they needed. They rejected the teachings
immediately, because these people were those who were referred to as; the spiritually blind and
dead.

Interpretation of: Others fell on the rock, did not take root in the soil, and did not produce ears.

These are the people who accepted the teachings, because the teachings sounded good, and made
them feel good and respected by others, but when their faith in the Love and Truth within the
teachings was tested, they rejected the teachings, because the teachings had not taken root in their
minds, and therefore also were not in their hearts.

Interpretation of: And others fell on thorns; they choked the seed and worms ate them.

The explanation in Mark 4 is very good and so the only thing that needs clarifying is the reference to
worms. The worms represent the subconscious reasonings that consume conscious reasonings.

Interpretation of: And others fell on the good soil and it produced good fruit: it bore sixty per
measure and a hundred and twenty per measure.

The good soil of course is the fertile mind of the spiritually aware soul, also referred to as, the large
fish.

The good fruit is of course the Love and Truth that has grown from the seeds (teachings) that were
planted in the mind.

The seeds grow into vines and produce fruit that contains even more seeds. This is how Love and
Truth is spread.

See also in John 15:1: I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

Logion 10:

Jesus said, I have cast fire upon the world, and see, I am guarding it until it blazes.

Interpretation:

Christ delivered the Truth, which caused a fire of discontentment in the minds of those who heard it;
a fire that would destroy the lies in mens minds, and awaken them spiritually; a fire that would
cause discontentment with the world and its ways. He was guarding that fire until it blazed, and
people began to call out for Truth.

See logion 28.

See also in Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace, but a sword, (Truth).

Logion 11:

Jesus said, This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away. The dead are not alive,
and the living will not die. In the days when you consumed what is dead, you made it what is alive.
When you come to dwell in the light, what will you do? On the day when you were one you became
two. But when you become two, what will you do?"

Interpretation of: This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away.

Jesus was speaking to others concerning their minds. Each mind is a Kingdom, a piece of Heaven
given to them. The divided mind will pass away, and the undivided mind which is above it, will pass
away, because in the end each soul will share the mind of God.

Interpretation of: The dead are not alive and the living will not die.

The dead referred to are those who believe that they are physical beings that are of the world. They
are not living because they have not come to know themselves.
The living are those who know that they are a spiritual being, and not of the world, because they
have come to know themselves. It is these who will not experience the death spoken of, ever again,
for once life is found it is everlasting, just as when Truth is realized, it cannot be denied.

Interpretation of: In the days when you consumed what is dead, you made it what is alive.
In the days when you consumed your false identity of being a physical being, you made that part of
yourself, which was dead, alive.

Interpretation of: When you come to dwell in the light, what will you do?
When you come to know yourself (realize what you are), what will you do? To dwell in the light is to
dwell in Truth. To dwell in the darkness is to dwell in ignorance of the Truth.

Interpretation of: On the day when you were one you became two. But when you become two,
what will you do?

On the day when you came to know yourself as a spiritual being, you realized that you had been
living with two Self identities. One as a physical being and one as a spiritual being, but you had not
noticed the difference, because the two Self identities had been merged into one.
When you realized your true Self identity, both of your previous identities became apparent and the
one, became two. What will you do when this is realized? How much will you have to give up? For
each Self-identity requires the fulfilment of its own desires and has its own attachments.

Logion 12:

The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?" Jesus
said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and
earth came into being.

Interpretation:

Heaven and earth came into being for life and its perfection in Love and Truth. James was the only
one capable of teaching as Jesus did, because he fully understood the secret teachings and their
meanings, and he had come to know himself and Truth.
When Jesus departed it was James who was to become the new leader. It was not for the sake of
James only that Heaven and earth came into being, but rather it was for the sake of all Gods
children, so that they could learn how to become righteous and loving.

Logion 13:

Jesus said to his disciples, Compare me to someone and tell me whom I am like. Simon Peter said
to him, You are like a righteous angel. Matthew said to him, You are like a wise philosopher.
Thomas said to him, Master, my mouth is wholly incapable of saying whom you are like. Jesus said,
I am not your master. Because you have drunk, you have become intoxicated from the bubbling
spring which I have measured out. And he took him and withdrew and told him three things. When
Thomas returned to his companions, they asked him, What did Jesus say to you?"

Thomas said to them, If I tell you one of the things which he told me, you will pick up stones and
throw them at me; a fire will come out of the stones and burn you up.

Interpretation of: Compare me to someone and tell me whom I am like. Simon Peter said to him,
You are like a righteous angel. Matthew said to him, You are like a wise philosopher.

They did not realize that Jesus was the son of God, a spiritual being, and so they had no way of
describing him correctly.

Interpretation of: Thomas said to him, Master, my mouth is wholly incapable of saying whom you
are like.

Thomas recognized that Jesus was a spiritual being, and not like anyone he had ever known and so
was lost for words to describe who he was like.

Interpretation of: Jesus said, I am not your master. Because you have drunk, you have become
intoxicated from the bubbling spring which I have measured out.

Thomas called Jesus master, but because Thomas had understood Jesus teachings on a deep and
personal level, and therefore had come to know himself. Jesus told him I am not your master,
which meant that Thomas had become a free spirit and the master of his own domain/mind.
Thomas could see and hear what the others could not at that time, because of the spiritual sight that
Jesus had given him.

Interpretation of: And he took him and withdrew and told him three things.

The three things that Jesus told Thomas are hinted at in Logion 14 and they are:

They say to me what they think will please me, because they are still blind and do not yet realize
who I am. They see the body which is the clothes, but do not see the one wearing them.
Satan is not a spiritual being. It is a Self-identity created because of ones ignorance to their true
nature as a spiritual being. Because of the self-created, false identity of being a physical body, the
Self acts according to the rules of the world. It is this Satan consciousness that divides the mind, it
blinds a person to the Spirit and Truth, and it is the cause of temptation and sin. When a person has
a divided mind, it is because Satan is within them, and it is they who are Satan.
Those who have heard my voice and have understood, are my true brothers. But those who have
heard my voice and not understood are not yet my brothers. They listen and try to do as I teach
them, but they merely conform to my will, rather than their hearts, which take them another way
because they are little faiths. They do what they think is good seeking only acceptance.

Interpretation of: If I tell you one of the things which he told me, you will pick up stones and throw
them at me; a fire will come out of the stones and burn you up.

Stones represent words, and in the context of this logion, they are insults that hurt. The fire that
would come out of the stones is the fire of repentance that would torment their minds. In other
words they would feel ashamed and sorry for what they had said.

Jesus withdrew with Thomas from the other disciples because it was about them that Jesus was
speaking.

In the beginning, the disciples found the teachings of Jesus hard to understand which lead to Jesus
becoming frustrated with them. The following scriptures should also be taken into account,
concerning the reference to Satan being within the person.

See in Matthew 16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee,
Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan:
thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of
men. It is quite plain here that Peter was speaking through his Satan consciousness and that Jesus
was speaking back to Peters Satan consciousness, which was Peters alter ego.

Logion 14:

Jesus said to them, If you fast, you will give rise to sin for yourselves; and if you pray, you will be
condemned; and if you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits. When you go into any land and
walk about in the districts, if they receive you, eat what they will set before you, and heal the sick
among them. For what goes into your mouth will not defile you, but that which issues from your
mouth - it is that which will defile you.

Note: You have to keep in mind that Jesus was teaching them a new way, a way that was different to
what others had taught them.

Interpretation of: If you fast, you will give rise to sin for yourselves.

To give rise to sin for the Self, is to cause ones own temptation. See also Logion 6.

Interpretation of: If you pray, you will be condemned.

If you pray as you have been taught by others to, then you will be condemned for your lack of faith
in the Father to provide what you need. Jesus taught them the proper manner of praying when he
taught them the Lords Prayer which is as follows:

Our Father which are in Heaven, Hallowed by thy name;

Meaning: (Praise the Father with love, which is true worship).
Thy Kingdom come;
Meaning: (Let my kingdom (mind) be as yours).
Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven;
Meaning: (Let us love one another and live by the truth).
Give us this day our daily bread;
Meaning: (Give us the Truth that feeds our hungry spirit).
And forgive us our debts as we forgive others;
Meaning: (Forgive us for what we have done wrong, as we forgive those who have done wrong to
us).
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
Meaning: (And let us not become vain, but guide us with your spirit).
For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Amen;
Meaning: (For yours is Heaven, and the greatest power, Love and Truth, and your greatness is
unsurpassed and eternal, Amen).

The correct way to pray then, is to express ones Love for the Father and each other, to ask for
guidance and forgiveness, and for strength. These things must be sincere, from the heart, and not
merely to exalt the self before others. It is wrong to ask for things of the world. It is wrong to offer
the Father things of the world. It is wrong to ask the Father to act against the will of another, and
thereby removing that persons freedom of will. It is wrong to ask the Father to punish another. It is
wrong to exalt oneself over others, to the Father.

So you see Jesus was teaching that if you pray in the old way you would be condemning yourself.

The Lords Prayer is the only prayer that is needed and it should be said in private. You should have
faith that the Father knows what you want and therefore to ask shows a lack of faith.

Interpretation of: If you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits.

Remember that Jesus was teaching a new way, different to the one that was taught by others.
Alms are food, money or other donations given to the needy and poor, they are given as charity.

There are two points to take note of here. If you are able to give material things to others then it is
because you have more than you need in the first place. Those who rely on charity are more blessed
than those able to give it. Jesus told his disciples to go out in the world with nothing. If you have
more than the poorest, then you are not making yourself the least and therefore, you are harming
your spirit.

See in Luke 9:3: And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip,
neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

To do otherwise would make them look like hypocrites when they taught others to turn from
worldly things. The soul needs nothing that is of the world, to think that it does, is harmful to the
spirit. The soul has to take care of the basic needs of the physical body, to continue interacting with
the world, but the soul should never put the needs of the physical body before the souls needs.

Interpretation of: When you go into any land and walk about in the districts, if they receive you, eat
what they will set before you.

Ask for nothing for your services, and accept with gratitude, any food that they may give you.

Interpretation of: And heal the sick among them.

It is not the physical bodies of the people that Jesus and the disciples were concerned with healing,
but rather it was their souls, because the soul is eternal and the body is temporary. Where there is
spiritual healing, there is also the possibility of incredible physical healing.

Interpretation of: For what goes into your mouth will not defile you, but that which issues from
your mouth - it is that which will defile you.

It is not what you eat or drink that harms your soul, but rather it is the words that you speak in error,
so be careful of what you say.
The sayings in Logion 14 are referred to in Matthew 6.

Logion 15:

Jesus said, When you see one who was not born of woman, prostrate yourselves on your faces and
worship him. That one is your father.

Interpretation:

The spiritual Self is not born of physical woman, not born of the flesh. It is the way of those without
a degree of spiritual sight, that when they see a person they see them as a physical being. All
spiritual beings were once a part of the Father who shed them as a flower sheds seeds. When a soul
is perfected in the ways of the Father, it becomes a perfect image of the Father. It becomes one with
the Father. The Father becomes the son, and the son becomes the Father.

When you see your own true image as a spiritual being, you are seeing the Father. It is then that you
should surrender with great humility and Love, to your true Self and in doing so, you are worshipping
your Father, for you are one with Him.

See in John14:10-11: Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words
that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works'
sake.

Logion 16:

Jesus said, Men think, perhaps, that it is peace which I have come to cast upon the world. They do
not know that it is dissension which I have come to cast upon the earth: fire, sword, and war. For
there will be five in a house: three will be against two, and two against three, the father against the
son, and the son against the father. And they will stand solitary.

Note: These are secret teachings which means they should not be taken literally. They have deeper,
hidden meanings and should not be interpreted as if they were spoken in plain language. This logion
contains secrets that are extremely well hidden.

Interpretation of: They do not know that it is dissension which I have come to cast upon the earth.

Dissension: Strong disagreement; a contention or quarrel; discord, difference in sentiment or

opinion; disagreement.

Note: At first glance this logion may appear to be referring to conflict between people, if this were so
there would be nothing hidden or secret in the logion. It should therefore be realized that this logion
refers to conflict within the soul.

Interpretation of: Fire, sword, and war.

Fire refers to torment in the mind. Sword refers to the deliverance of Truth and war is a
reference to the spiritual battle of light against darkness within each soul.

Interpretation of: For there will be five in a house: three will be against two, and two against three.

To understand the meaning of three against two, and two against three, you must first consider
what is written in Logion 19: For there are five trees for you in Paradise which remain undisturbed
summer and winter and whose leaves do not fall. Whoever becomes acquainted with them will not
experience death.

1. The tree of Life Perfect awareness, seeing with clarity and from which nothing is hidden,
including the Self.
2. The tree of Knowledge of good and evil, revealing all that is knowable, both right and wrong.
3. The tree of Wisdom Perfect reasoning, revealing the Absolute Truth of what is right.
4. The tree of Love Perfect desire, righteous pleasures.
5. The tree of Peace Perfect willpower, expressing righteous ways of contentment.

In the Kingdom of Heaven, all five trees are perfect, but for those who have not yet come to know
themselves, and therefore exist in a divided mind, their tree of Life is a false one, and their tree of
Love remains unperfected. This sets the two against three, and the three against two. Without Life
and Love, the other three trees remain imperfect, and therefore conflict is inevitable. The Truth
remains opposed. Reasoning remains faulty and peace cannot be found in a house where there are
two masters.

Interpretation of: The father against the son, and the son against the father.

The Father opposing the Selfs will, and the Self opposing the Fathers will.

Interpretation of: And they will stand solitary.

When the Truth about the Self is realized, the tree of Life will become perfect and when Love is the
only desire, the tree of Love will become perfect, then all trees will become perfect. When you stand
alone (solitary), with nothing that can be taken from you, then the Kingdom of Heaven will be yours.
Love, Truth and Self-realisation can never be taken once you have reached this enlightened state.

See also in Matthew 10:34-35: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace, but a sword, for I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Note: A spiritual being is always referred to in the context of being male, whereas mind (a spiritual
beings domain/kingdom) is always referred to in the context of being female.

Interpretation of: For I am come to set a man at variance against his father
There are those who think that they are doing Gods will, until they learn the Truth, it is then that
the Self realizes that its will is at variance, (not the same as) the Fathers will.

Interpretation of: The daughter against her mother.

The daughter is a reference to the Selfs personal Kingdom/mind, and the mother is a reference to
the Fathers personal Kingdom/mind (the Kingdom of Heaven).

Interpretation of: The daughter in law against her mother in law.

Note: In laws are not related to the true Self, they belong to the spiritually blind and dead, who
believe that their mother is their physical mother, and that their mind was given to them by that
mother.
When reading spiritual teachings, do not let materialistic reasoning take control.

Logion 17:

Jesus said, I shall give you what no eye has seen and what no ear has heard and what no hand has
touched and what has never occurred to the human mind.

Interpretation:
It is the physical senses that cannot see, hear or touch that which is spiritual, therefore the things to
be given were spiritual, the secrets of the Self and the Kingdom.
The human mind is the divided mind, and that which never occurs to the divided mind, is the Selfs
true nature as a spiritual being.

Logion 18:

The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be.

Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the
beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will
know the end and will not experience death.

Interpretation:
The beginning was with the Father in Heaven and the end is that way also. Blessed is he who comes
to know himself as he did in the beginning and chooses the way of the Father, for he will know the
Father and Heaven, and he will have eternal Life.

Logion 19:

Jesus said, Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being. If you become my
disciples and listen to my words, these stones will minister to you. For there are five trees for you in
Paradise which remain undisturbed summer and winter and whose leaves do not fall. Whoever
becomes acquainted with them will not experience death.

Interpretation of: Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being.

Blessed are the children of the Father, who existed as a part of the Father before they became the
Fathers children. Consider this to be like a flower and its seeds. The flower produces the seeds from
itself. So the seeds existed as the flower, before they then existed as flowers in their own right. So
like the flowers, the Fathers children, came into being before they came into being.

Interpretation of: If you become my disciples and listen to my words, these stones will minister to
you.

Words produce concepts/images in the mind. Jesus likened words to stones, saying that his words
would minister to them that is serve and guide them, (as opposed to the words of other teachers
that would harm them).

Interpretation of: For there are five trees for you in Paradise which remain undisturbed summer
and winter and whose leaves do not fall.

The five trees that remain unaffected are trees of knowledge, in other words the five parts of the
Absolute Truth.

The five trees are:

1. The tree of Life Perfect awareness, seeing with clarity and from which nothing is hidden,
including the Self.
2. The tree of Knowledge Of good and evil, revealing all that is knowable, both right and wrong.
3. The tree of Wisdom Perfect reasoning, revealing the Absolute Truth of what is right.
4. The tree of Love Perfect desire, righteous pleasures.
5. The tree of Peace Perfect willpower, expressing righteous ways of contentment.

Interpretation of: Whoever becomes acquainted with them will not experience death.
Whoever attains these five trees will not experience the death spoken of in Logion 1. Paradise refers
to Gods Kingdom. These trees never lose anything that is of them, and they remain undisturbed in
the good times and the troubled times.

Logion 20:

The disciples said to Jesus, Tell us what the kingdom of heaven is like.
He said to them, It is like a mustard seed. It is the smallest of all seeds. But when it falls on tilled
soil, it produces a great plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky.

Interpretation:
Even the smallest of Truth likened to the mustard seed, can grow very large and eventually fill the
mind with Truth, which then attracts those who are searching for Truth.
The tilled soil is the fertile mind where Truth can grow.

Birds of the sky, refers to those who are searching for Truth.

Birds of the sky search for seeds to feed on just as souls search for grains of Truth, which is spiritual
food. A bird will always choose to rest in a sheltered place, close to its food supply, just as the
disciples stayed close to Jesus, who sheltered them from their worldly worries.
Think of the mind of Jesus when thinking of the great plant, and think of those that he taught as
the birds of the sky. The seeds of Truth in Jesus teachings fell into the minds of those he taught.

The kingdom of heaven contains only Love and Truth. It takes only one small seed of that Kingdom
to fall into a fertile mind, and eventually the whole of that mind is filled with Love and Truth, and so
becomes the Kingdom of Heaven.

See also in Matthew 13:31-32: Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of
heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is
the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so
that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

Logion 21:

Mary said to Jesus, Whom are your disciples like?"

He said, They are like children who have settled in a field which is not theirs. When the owners of
the field come, they will say, 'Let us have back our field. They (will) undress in their presence in
order to let them have back their field and to give it back to them. Therefore I say, if the owner of a
house knows that the thief is coming, he will begin his vigil before he comes and will not let him dig
through into his house of his domain to carry away his goods. You, then, be on your guard against
the world. Arm yourselves with great strength lest the robbers find a way to come to you, for the
difficulty which you expect will (surely) materialize. Let there be among you a man of understanding.
When the grain ripened, he came quickly with his sickle in his hand and reaped it. Whoever has ears
to hear, let him hear.

Note: There is the Old Testament, and those who claim the authority to teach it, and there is the
New Testament, which Jesus claimed authority to teach. If there had been nothing wrong with the
Old Testament, then there would have been no need for a New Testament.

Interpretation of: They are like children who have settled in a field which is not theirs.

The field that the disciples had settled in was the mind-set that contained the teachings of the Old
Testament, as taught by its teachers. They were teachings that deprived people of knowledge of
themselves, and of the one true Father, and so the disciples had settled into a way that did not
belong to Gods children.

Interpretation of: When the owners of the field come, they will say, 'Let us have back our field.

When those who claim to have authority to teach the Old Testament, come to the disciples, they will
tell the disciples to stop challenging their authority and teachings, and to stop leading the people
another way.

Interpretation of: They (will) undress in their presence in order to let them have back their field and
to give it back to them.

The disciples will take off their garments of indoctrination and basically say, keep your teachings we
want none of them, for we have a New Testament of Gods Word.

Interpretation of: Therefore I say, if the owner of a house knows that the thief is coming.

Note: House refers to the soul. The owner of the house is of course, the Self. The thief is the one
who would steal the Truth that you have and replace it with lies.

Interpretation of: He will begin his vigil before he comes and will not let him dig through into his
house of his domain to carry away his goods.

He will be on guard for those who would try to destroy his faith and take away his Truth, just as they
tried to do to Jesus.

Interpretation of: You, then, be on your guard against the world. Arm yourselves with great strength
lest the robbers find a way to come to you, for the difficulty which you expect will (surely)
materialize.

Arm yourself with great faith and the wisdom to defend it, because those of the world will come to
test you, as you expect them to. Be ready to tie their hands with their own beliefs.

Interpretation of: Let there be among you a man of understanding. When the grain ripened, he
came quickly with his sickle in his hand and reaped it.

Let there be among you a man of wisdom, when your Truth comes to fruition, let him store it firmly
in your heart.

Logion 22:

Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, These infants being suckled are like those
who enter the kingdom. They said to him, Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom? Jesus
said to them, When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the
outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female
one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; and when you fashion eyes
in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in
place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom.

Interpretation of: When you make the two one.

When you make the divided mind (which is two), into an undivided mind (which is one).

Interpretation of: When you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the
above like the below.

The state of the Self is dependent on the state of the mind. Likewise the state of the mind is
dependent on the state of the Self. When the two are in conflict, peace is lost. If the mind is full of
Truth, and the Self accepts that Truth, then the Self will be at peace, and the Self which is above,

will be like the mind, which is below. This is why Jesus said, I am the Truth. Only the acceptance of
Truth, will end the conflict between the Selfs desires and worldly temptations in the mind. When
you realize that you dont need the things of the world, then its temptations will be silenced, as will
the desire for them.

Interpretation of: When you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not
be male nor the female female.

When you realize that a spiritual being has no gender and therefore you are not a physical being.

Interpretation of: And when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye.

When you learn to see with your spiritual eyes, that is have spiritual sight.

Interpretation of: And a hand in place of a hand.

This means your true Selfs will, in place of your false Selfs will.

Interpretation of: And a foot in place of a foot.

This means your spiritual journey in place of your physical one.

Interpretation of: And a likeness in place of a likeness.

This means Gods image in place of the physical bodys image, because we are made in Gods image
and not the image of a physical creature.

Interpretation of: Then will you enter the kingdom.

Then your mind will become as the Kingdom of Heaven. You must come to know yourself.

Logion 23:

Jesus said, I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of ten thousand, and they shall
stand as a single one.

Interpretation:
Only 1 in a 1,000 was capable of understanding and accepting the Truth, and out of those, only 2 in
10,000 had the faith in Love required to live by the Truth.

Those who are capable of understanding and accepting the Truth are those that can come to know
themselves as a spiritual being, and therefore can enter the Kingdom within. This Kingdom, which is
within is like a room. It is their domain/mind, and in there, there is a doorway leading to Heaven,
which is Gods Kingdom/Heaven/home. However, this doorway will not open unless there is perfect
faith in Love. The doorway is guarded by cherubim (Love) and the flaming sword of Truth.
So there is only 1 in 1,000 that recognizes and accepts Truth, but out of these, there are only 2 in
10,000, who have enough Love to be called Sons of God, and to teach as Jesus did. It is these that
Jesus chose, and they became brothers and stood as one.

Logion 24:

His disciples said to him, Show us the place where you are, since it is necessary for us to seek it.
He said to them, Whoever has ears, let him hear. There is light within a man of light, and he lights
up the whole world. If he does not shine, he is darkness.

Interpretation of: Show us the place where you are, since it is necessary for us to seek it.

Jesus was of course, in the Kingdom of Heaven, his enlightened mind. It is obvious that the disciples
knew where the physical body of Jesus was, but what they wanted to know, was where he was as a
spiritual being. Although they could see the light that Jesus radiated, they could not see the place
where the light came from.

Interpretation of: There is light within a man of light.

The place where Jesus was as a spiritual being was of course, in his mind that had been made in the
image of the Kingdom of Heaven. It was the mind of one who was Self-realized as a spiritual being,
and his mind was full of light because it contained only Love and Truth. His mind was like that of the
Fathers. When the mind is full of light, the Self is also full of light, therefore the man of light is the
man who has an enlightened mind.

Interpretation of: And he lights up the whole world.

The light from an enlightened soul radiates outward. It is not light that is visible to the physical eyes,
but other souls are aware of it. Words cannot describe it other than they are somehow shining or
glowing, and so other souls are left experiencing what they cannot understand or explain. What is
actually being realized by the observer, is complete peace, total confidence and fearlessness in that
person. To a lesser degree it is like the effect felt when in the presence of someone of great fame.
The feeling is one of awe.

Interpretation of: If he does not shine, he is darkness.

The fullness of life can only be experienced in a mind full of light, anything less is described as death.
If you add one drop of ink to a glass of clear water, then the whole of the water will become tainted
and lose its clarity. Likewise, if there is anything in the mind that is untrue or unloving, then the
whole mind will be tainted, and therefore the fullness of life cannot be experienced. If a man does
not shine it is because there is darkness in his mind. Even a little darkness destroys the purity of the
light.

See also in Matthew 6:22-23: The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound, your whole body
will be full of light. But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If all the light you
have is darkness, it is dark indeed!
The lamp of the body is the spiritual eye. If your spiritual sight is sound, then the whole of your soul
will be full of light. But if your spiritual eye has any blindness to the Self, Love and Truth and is
turned to the things of the world, then your whole soul (Self and mind) will be full of darkness. (It
will contain less than perfect light).

Logion 25:

Jesus said, Love your brother like your soul, guard him like the pupil of your eye.

Interpretation of: Love your brother like your soul.

You must first Love yourself completely, because if you dont then what measure of Love are you
being asked to Love your brother by?
To Love your soul is to Love the Self and your mind.

You cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven while wearing the garments of Self-condemnation. It is not
vanity to Love yourself for the Love and Truth that you carry. It is those who have no Love and Truth,
and yet exalt themselves above others, who are vain. No-one exalts themselves above those that
they Love.
Love others as you are loved by our Father, for we are all Gods children and not one of us is loved
less than another. Even our Father loves those who stand against Him and those who oppose His
will. Love is not dependant on being pleased by someone, if it were so then how could we Love our
enemies?

Interpretation of: Guard him like the pupil of your eye.

The pupil of your eye is that which sees with spiritual sight, it is the awakened Self. So guard your
brother as you guard yourself, that is Love and care for one another as I have loved and cared for
you. Do not let him fall into darkness, just as you guard yourself from falling into darkness.

Logion 26:

Jesus said, You see the mote in your brother's eye, but you do not see the beam in your own eye.
When you cast the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to cast the mote from your
brother's eye.

Interpretation:

You see your brothers ignorance of Truth, but you do not see your own, which is far greater. So
when you have realized and corrected your own ignorance, then you can correct the ignorance of
others. Until then, you are not qualified to teach or judge your brother. This saying also relates to
the blind leading the blind, and judge not lest ye be judged.

If you have not come to know yourself as a spiritual being, then how can you be sure what is true? If
you believe that you are no more than a physical being, then your reasoning will be based on that,
and that is like a beam in the spiritual eye, preventing you from seeing the whole picture. In other
words, your Truth will have come from biased reasoning.

See also in Matthew 7:3-5: And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but
considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye, Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull
out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast
out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
brother's eye.

Always search for understanding when considering the errors of others, for it is far more loving than
condemning them.

Logion 27:

Jesus said, If you do not fast as regards the world, you will not find the kingdom. If you do not
observe the Sabbath as a Sabbath, you will not see the father.

Interpretation of: If you do not fast as regards the world, you will not find the kingdom.

If you do not turn your attention away from the world that is outside of you, you will not find the
Kingdom which is within you.

Note: Jesus went into the desert to fast from the things of the world before he began his mission.
This was of course, to overcome any worldly desires or attachments.

Interpretation of: If you do not observe the Sabbath as a Sabbath, you will not see the father.

The Sabbath is a day of rest from the world. If you do not observe the time of rest from the world, as
a time for inner contemplation, then you will not be able to enter the Kingdom and be with the
Father. You may rest from the world whenever you choose.

Logion 28:

Jesus said, I took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to them in flesh. I found all of
them intoxicated; I found none of them thirsty. And my soul became afflicted for the sons of men,
because they are blind in their hearts and do not have sight; for empty they came into the world,
and empty too they seek to leave the world. But for the moment they are intoxicated. When they
shake off their wine, then they will repent.

Interpretation of: I took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to them in flesh.

As a spiritual being I took possession of my physical body, with which I would interact with the
world, and I walked amongst them, appearing as flesh to them.

Interpretation of: I found all of them intoxicated.

I found them all under the influence of the world and blinded to themselves and each other.

Interpretation of: I found none of them thirsty.

I found none of them desiring spiritual Truth, for the world was all that they knew.

Interpretation of: And my soul became afflicted for the sons of men.

I felt great sorrow for them for they did not know themselves and therefore believed that they were
the sons of their physical fathers.

Interpretation of: Because they are blind in their hearts and do not have sight.

Because they are without empathy for each other and they do not have spiritual sight. They cannot
see or feel what they are doing to each other, because they do not know themselves.

Interpretation of: For empty they came into the world, and empty too they seek to leave the world.

For without the Word they came into the world, and without the Word they seek to leave it.

Interpretation of: But for the moment they are intoxicated. When they shake off their wine, then
they will repent.
For the moment they are under the influence of the world. When they come to realize their true
nature as a spiritual being and turn from the world, they will feel the hurt of shame, in realizing how
foolish they had been.

Logion 29:

Jesus said, If the flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being
because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this great wealth has
made its home in this poverty.
This is the big question isnt it?

Interpretation of: If the flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came into
being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders.

Is your awareness, desire, will, and consciousness, the product of something that is not biological,
something which existed before the flesh, and merely uses the flesh/body to interact with the
world?
(If so it would be a wonder).

Or

Is your awareness, desire, will, and consciousness, no more than the product of a biological
programmed computer called the brain? If so then that would mean that what we call the Self and
the Mind came into being because of the flesh, and to serve the flesh.
(If so it would be a wonder of wonders).
If our beginning was that we first crawled out of some primordial swamp on to the land, and then
evolved into what we are today, then what would that mean?
Well first of all, crawling onto land would necessitate a conscious decision, which would mean that
awareness, desire, will and consciousness were already in place. So if awareness, desire, will and
consciousness were already in place as a biological program, then you have to consider how such a
complex program could possibly form, in such a primitive biological life form.

Could such a complex program form simply by chance, from an infinite amount of random
permutations? Can you imagine how many components would have to fall into perfect order to
result in a program that creates awareness? If you took just 6 dice and threw them in turn, how
many times would you have to do this until they all landed in sequence 1 to 6? Then of course, that
program would need another program to replicate itself.

If the flesh came into being before the spirit, then the flesh would not even know that it existed, or
even the environment that it existed in.
Without awareness, how could the flesh be aware of a need to change and adapt, or a need to
survive?
You have heard the question; what came first, the chicken or the egg, now try this one; what came
first, physical senses or awareness?
Why would the flesh form physical senses if it had not yet developed the awareness to take
advantage of them?
If awareness had not yet developed, then what would be the need to form physical senses, because
they would be obsolete?
The Self and the mind are not made of atoms, therefore they cannot be of the flesh.

Interpretation of: Indeed, I am amazed at how this great wealth has made its home in this poverty.

The great wealth is of course is the spiritual Self and the mind, the spiritual being.
The poverty is of course the physical body and the illusions that it deceives the spiritual being with.

Logion 30:

Jesus said, Where there are three gods, they are gods. Where there are two or one, I am with him.

Interpretation of: Where there are three gods, they are gods.
Where there are three gods, they are false or materialistic gods created by men.

Note that gods is spelt with a small g and so does not refer to God.

Interpretation of: Where there are two.

Where there is the Father and the son, there are two Gods; a God and a god.
Genesis 3:22: And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us.

Interpretation of: Or one.

When the son is in perfect harmony with the Father, meaning that his will and desires are the same,
then the Father and the son become as one. Jesus said, I and the Father are one, and I am in the
Father and the Father is in me. The Father becomes the son, the son becomes the Father.
See in 1 John 3:2: Beloved, now are we the sons of God.
The son of a physical being is a physical being; the son of a God is a god. All of Gods unperfected
children are gods in the making.

Interpretation of: I am with him.

We are a family in harmony with each other.

Logion 31:

Jesus said, No prophet is accepted in his own village; no physician heals those who know him.

Interpretation of: No prophet is accepted in his own village.

Here Jesus relates himself to the prophets. The people, who Jesus grew up around, could not accept
that he was anything special. They had become too familiar with him and saw him as an ordinary
person, in the same way that they saw themselves. This is because they saw only the physical and
not the spiritual.

Interpretation of: No physician heals those who know him.

A physician is a healer and all healing requires an amount of faith from the person being healed. It is
a thing that would be absent in close acquaintances. You cannot heal by faith those who have no
faith in you.

Logion 32:

Jesus said, A city being built on a high mountain and fortified cannot fall, nor can it be hidden.

Interpretation of: A city being built.

The city being built was the New Jerusalem; the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

Interpretation of: On a high mountain.

It was being built on a higher level of consciousness, one whose foundation were Love and Truth.

Interpretation of: And fortified cannot fall.

That which is fortified with perfect faith cannot fall.

Interpretation of: Nor can it be hidden

Nor can it be hidden because of the light it radiates.

Logion 33:

Jesus said, Preach from your housetops that which you will hear in your ear. For no one lights a
lamp and puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it in a hidden place, but rather he sets it on a lamp
stand so that everyone who enters and leaves will see its light.

Interpretation:
Tell others the things that I teach you, do it openly and without fear. Let them see the light of your
new mind and dont try to hide it. Do not be afraid to make public what is in your heart.

There are some who hear the Truth, and in recognising and understanding it, their lives are changed.
Yet they try to hide the light it has created within, and they fear to speak the Truth they have
received and believe in.
The Truth is meant to be shared not hidden. To hide the Truth is to be ashamed of it, yet who can
reject the Truth but those in most need of it.
No-one hides a light unless they fear those living in darkness will reject them. What favour then will
you have done them? What goodness will you have brought into their lives?

Do not hide the Truth you have learned as if it were something to be ashamed of.
Do not hide your light, because those living in darkness will have no way out of the darkness, when
they eventually realize where they are.
Some will be drawn and some will not, but even one drawn to the light will mean you have become
a saviour.

Logion 34:

Jesus said, If a blind man leads a blind man, they will both fall into a pit.

Interpretation:
If a man who is spiritually blind becomes the teacher of a man searching for Truth, then they will
both end up without the Truth and therefore spiritually dead. To be spiritually dead is to be in
complete ignorance of the spirit, and therefore also ignorant of the spiritual nature of the Self.
See also in Matthew 15:14: Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead
the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Note: The pit or ditch represents the depths of the false Selfs consciousness, where the worst
animal instincts rule.

Logion 35:

Jesus said, It is not possible for anyone to enter the house of a strong man and take it by force
unless he binds his hands; then he will (be able to) ransack his house.

Interpretation:
The house represents the mind. The strength of a man is his confidence in his beliefs. You cannot
make a man change his beliefs and accept yours unless you first destroy that confidence. If you can
show the man that his beliefs are in error, then he will be unable to argue and you can change his
mind. Think of how Jesus dealt with those who opposed him. He used their own doctrines and
beliefs against them and in doing so, made their wisdom look foolish.

See also Matthew 12:29: Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods,
except he first bind the strong man and then he will spoil his house?

Note: It should also be realized that even today, the houses of many loving souls are being ransacked
by materialists, because they do not have the Truth or the wisdom to defend their Love.

Logion 36:

Jesus said, Do not be concerned from morning until evening and from evening until morning about
what you will wear.

Interpretation:
The morning until the evening is the time of light, it was the time that Jesus was with his disciples.
His coming was the morning, and his leaving the world was the evening.

The evening until the morning represents the darkness in the world that the disciples would have
to endure, after Jesus left the world. It would last until the disciples found their own light within, and
became sons of God also.

The physical body is the clothes that the soul wears, and you should not be concerned if these
clothes, (the physical body) are torn or stripped from you, because your true body is your spiritual
body.

It doesnt matter whether you are dressed in fine clothes or rags, the body remains the same.
Likewise it doesnt matter what your physical body is like, because the soul is independent of that
too. The physical body is the clothes that the soul wears. You should not worry about what you as a
soul wears, or indeed what other souls wear. It is the soul that is more important and true beauty is
always found within a person.

What does it profit a man when he puts more importance on his physical body than on his soul,
because there comes a time for everyone when their body is taken from them?

It is the garments that the Self as a spiritual being wears that matters, and these garments are not
physical or material. The Selfs garments are found in the mind. For the enlightened Self, they are a
white robe. For the unenlightened Self, they are garments of condemnation.

Logion 37:

His disciples said, When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you? Jesus said,
When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your
feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the son of the living one, and you will
not be afraid.

Interpretation of: When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you?
It is not the physical body of Jesus that the disciples wanted revealed to them, but rather it was
Jesus form as a spiritual being that they wanted revealed to them and they wanted to know when
this would happen.

Interpretation of: When you disrobe without being ashamed.

When you face yourself with complete honesty and you are not ashamed.

Interpretation of: And take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and
tread on them.
And you take up your garments of condemnation (unforgiveness for the Self and for those who have
wronged you) and you discard them as if they were nothing and of no worth.

Interpretation of: Then will you see the son of the living one, and you will not be afraid.
It is then that you will see your true Self, and in seeing your true Self, you will also see the true image
of Jesus, and you will not be afraid, knowing that there will be no judgement or punishment to
suffer and knowing that there is no inequality between the sons of God.

See logion 3: You will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father.

Logion 38:

Jesus said, Many times have you desired to hear these words which I am saying to you, and you
have no one else to hear them from. There will be days when you will look for me and will not find
me.

Interpretation:
It is the Truth that Jesus delivered to the world, for the word was incomplete, hidden in part to hide
the iniquity of those who chose to ignore it for the sake of self-pleasures, and because of those who
interpreted it in good faith, but out of ignorance. Those who have not known God were unable to
teach Gods word, and it was Gods word that the disciples desired to hear.

There would be many days when the disciples would look for the true image of Jesus as a spiritual
being, but the real Jesus as a spiritual being, would not be revealed to them, until they came to know
themselves.

Logion 39:

Jesus said, The Pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis) and hidden
them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. You,
however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves.

Interpretation of: The Pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis) and
hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to.
The Pharisees and scribes had hidden Gods Word, and the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, from the
people, for in these things was their own condemnation and the loss of their power over others.

Comment: It is Gods Word and the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven that are hidden from the
Christian church today. You see, Jesus teachings are unacceptable by those who are of the world,
because they teach that:

You cannot follow the teachings of Jesus and retain wealth and power.
You cannot kill or hate or cause others to do so.
You cannot withhold forgiveness.
You cannot put your own needs before those of others.
You cannot hate your enemy.
Do you see what I mean?

How can a person exalt themselves above others, wear fine robes and take from others to build fine
temples, and fill them with worldly treasure, while there are the sick, hungry and poor outside their
door? Neither the Pharisees nor the Christian church that evolved, wanted the people to find the
Kingdom within and become free, because they would then have no control over such people, and
so they have kept the Word and the keys hidden.

As it was, so it is; but not for long.

The true temple is the mind and its treasure is Love and Truth, and a keeper of such a temple leaves
no suffering outside its door. So you see that the Truth was hidden from the people, because in it is
the revelation of the man of sin.

Interpretation of: You, however, be as wise as serpents.

Jesus referred to the Pharisees and scribes as a nest of vipers (serpents), so what he was saying was
to be as wise as them.

Interpretation of: And as innocent as doves.

To be as innocent as doves, is to remain a free spirit and be without sin.

Logion 40:

Jesus said, A grapevine has been planted outside of the father, but being unsound, it will be pulled
up by its roots and destroyed.

Interpretation:
The grapevine referred to was the religion taught by the Pharisees and scribes. They were teaching
an adulterated and incomplete version of Gods Word, and so it was unsound. That is why a New
Testament was needed.

It was Jesus who was to tear up the unsound religion by its roots, which were grounded in
materiality, and he would do so with the revelation of spiritual Truth.

Jesus likened himself to the true grapevine (the Way, the Truth and the Life).
Jesus said in John 15:1: I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

Logion 41:

Jesus said, Whoever has something in his hand will receive more, and whoever has nothing will be
deprived of even the little he has.

Interpretation of: Whoever has something in his hand will receive more.
Whoever has Love in their heart, will be able to invest that Love by giving it to others. When that
Love is returned, he will have increased the Love in his life.

Interpretation of: And whoever has nothing will be deprived of even the little he has.
Whoever has no Love in their heart, will be deprived of feeling the Love given to him by others.

Comment: Love is not just a warm fuzzy feeling. It is much more than that. It requires empathy so
that one may share the feelings of others, and in feeling what the other person feels, you become as
one with them. Because of this, you share their sufferings and joy. Only by loving one another are
we led to end suffering and care for each other, so that we may live in peace, harmony and mutual
joy. Love is the Way that will end all of mankinds trouble.

Those who are spiritually blind and dead, confuse their selfish pleasures with the pleasures of Love,
not realizing that their pleasures are one way pleasures, for it is impossible for material things to
Love you back, and it is impossible for power to Love you back. In fact, nothing that is of the world
can receive or return Love. Therefore such people should not misuse the word Love, but rather
they should say, I get great pleasure from that.

Those who have no empathy cannot experience the feelings of others; they cannot feel what others
feel therefore, they cannot feel any Love given to them. It is such people who are capable of
committing the most evil acts upon others, because they are blind and selfish. They are blind to the
spirit and because of this, they see only the physical/material, which they worship and hold to be the
only realty, a reality that they believe they are a part of. It is people like this who force their beliefs
on the world and our children. They are no respecters of life but their own, and they rise to positions
of power and authority, seeking dominance rather than equality.
If you have something in your hand, then dont let them take it away, dont let them set you against
others, for that is their way.

See also in Matthew 25:29: For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have
abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

Logion 42:

Jesus said, Become passers-by.

Interpretation:
Simply put, this means do not form attachments with the things of the world, for in Truth there is
nothing that is of the world that you cannot do without and that includes your physical body. That
which belongs to the world, will stay with the world.

As a spiritual being you existed before this life journey in the world began, and as a spiritual being,
you will still exist after this life journey has ended, for now you are just passing through, like a
tourist. Eventually you will look back on this life journey, and wonder why you got so involved and
lost in the illusion of being a part of the world. It is so easy to lose your Self in the game of worldly
life. You must become passers-by. Step out of the game, step out of the illusion and begin to observe
the game in progress as a spectator/watcher, rather than a participant. It is then that you will see
the foolishness and futility, of those who have not come to know themselves, those who live without
Love and Truth; those whose priority is to compete for the things of the world, regardless of the hurt
they cause to others.
Choose Love, Truth and Peace and to the rest become a passer-by.

Logion 43:

His disciples said to him, "Who are you that you should say these things to us?" Jesus said to them,
"You do not realize who I am from what I say to you, but you have become like the Jews, for they
(either) love the tree and hate its fruit (or) love the fruit and hate the tree.

Interpretation of: His disciples said to him, "Who are you that you should say these things to us?
Jesus said to them, You do not realize who I am from what I say to you.
It is plain to see that the disciples were, at this time questioning the authority of Jesus, and therefore
had not recognized him as the Messiah or as a spiritual being.

Interpretation of: But you have become like the Jews, for they (either) love the tree and hate its
fruit.
To love the tree and hate its fruit, is to find great pleasure in listening to religious teachings, but
hate living according to those teachings.
There are many who Love the Truth when it is easy to live by, but as soon as it becomes difficult,
they reject the Truth.

Interpretation of: (or) love the fruit and hate the tree.
Alternatively, they find great pleasure from the profits they make as religious teachers, but hate the
religious teachings themselves.
The religious teachers profited from teachings by gaining wealth, power and adoration, but they
themselves hated the teachings, because in the teachings, such things are condemned.

Logion 44:

Jesus said, Whoever blasphemes against the father will be forgiven, and whoever blasphemes
against the son will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit will not be forgiven
either on earth or in heaven.

Interpretation:
A person may blaspheme the Father or the Fathers son, and still receive forgiveness for their
ignorance and blindness, for that is the way of the Father and the son that they do not carry the
burden of un-forgiveness.
But to blaspheme the Holy Spirit is to curse Love, and whoever curses Love has no Love or
comprehension of it, and therefore cannot acknowledge the receipt of forgiveness, and so their sins
stay with them.

Note: To Love or feel Love requires empathy, which is also required for repentance, and without
repentance there can be no forgiveness, because there must first be a recognition that forgiveness is
required.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Love. Love is the Law. A person may be forgiven by the Lawmaker, but
they cannot be forgiven by the Law that they are in opposition to.

Note: From my perspective; To blaspheme is to curse, ridicule.

Logion 45:

Jesus said, Grapes are not harvested from thorns, nor are figs gathered from thistles, for they do
not produce fruit. A good man brings forth good from his storehouse; an evil man brings forth evil
things from his evil storehouse, which is in his heart, and says evil things. For out of the abundance
of the heart he brings forth evil things.

Interpretation:
This logion concerns the types of people who should receive the teachings, and those who are
unworthy of the teachings. Converts should be chosen carefully from those who have a measure of
Love and an ability to recognize Truth. A worthy convert is recognized by the goodness in his/her
heart and by the unselfish things that he/she says and does. Likewise, an unworthy convert is
recognized by his/her selfishness, lack of spiritual sight and their inability to comprehend the Truth.
A persons true worth is found in their heart.
See Matthew 7:6: Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before
swine lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you.

See also in Luke 6:43-45: For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs,
nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth
forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that
which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

And Matthew 7:16-18: Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil
fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Logion 46:

Jesus said, Among those born of women, from Adam until John the Baptist, there is no one so
superior to John the Baptist that his eyes should not be lowered (before him). Yet I have said,

whichever one of you comes to be a child will be acquainted with the kingdom and will become
superior to John.

Note: The spiritual being (the Self) is always referred to as male, and the mind which is the Selfs
domain, is always referred to as female, and so the Self is referred to as man, and the mind is
referred to as woman. It is the mind that gives Life to the Self, because it is the Self that is capable of
awareness, but the mind gives the Self something to be aware of. Without the mind, the Self would
remain unaware of anything. Life is experienced when that which is capable of awareness, has
something to be aware of, therefore the Self is born of women, which means that the mind enables
the Self to Live.

Interpretation of: Jesus said, "Among those born of women, from Adam until John the Baptist.
Out of all of Gods children, from Adam until John the Baptist.

Interpretation of: There is no one so superior to John the Baptist that his eyes should not be
lowered (before him).
All of Gods children are equal in the eyes of God, and so not one is superior to the other. It can also
be said that each of Gods children should face each other with humility.

Note: This is also why Jesus asked John the Baptist to baptize him, so that the Law (of Love) could be
fulfilled.
See Matthew 3:14 -15: But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest
thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to
fulfil all righteousness. (Love is all that is good and right)

Interpretation of: Yet I have said whichever one of you comes to be a child will be acquainted with
the kingdom and will become superior to John.
Simply put, John the Baptist had Love and Truth but he had not come to know himself, and so
whoever will come to know themselves, will become superior to John the Baptist.
See also in Matthew 11:11: Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath
not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven
is greater than he.

Logion 47:

Jesus said, It is impossible for a man to mount two horses or to stretch two bows. And it is
impossible for a servant to serve two masters; otherwise, he will honour the one and treat the other
contemptuously. No man drinks old wine and immediately desires to drink new wine. And new wine
is not put into old wineskins, lest they burst; nor is old wine put into a new wineskin, lest it spoil it.
An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment, because a tear would result.

Interpretation of: It is impossible for a man to mount two horses or to stretch two bows. And it is
impossible for a servant to serve two masters; otherwise, he will honour the one and treat the other
contemptuously.
It is impossible for a person to follow two religions and to be faithful to the teachings of both.

Interpretation of: No man drinks old wine and immediately desires to drink new wine.
No person is filled with the teachings of the Old Testament (old wine), and then immediately desires
to be filled with the teaching of the New Testament (new wine).

Interpretation of: New wine is not put into old wineskins, lest they burst; nor is old wine put into a
new wineskin, lest it spoil it.
The New Testament is not given to those whose faith is in the teachings of the Old Testament, for
they will not be able to hold the New Testament. The teachings of the Old Testament should not be
put in the New Testament, in case they spoil the New Testament.

Interpretation of: An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment, because a tear would result.
A part of the Old Testament teachings, should not be used to strengthen any part of the New
Testament teachings, because the New Testament is stronger than the Old Testament and they
would eventually separate when tested.
Note: The Old Testament and the New Testament present two different versions of God, and two
different laws, one materialistic and one spiritual.

Logion 48:

Jesus said, If two make peace with each other in this one house, they will say to the mountain,
'Move Away,' and it will move away.

Interpretation:
The two that make peace are the two Self-images in the mind (house). To make peace, one must
become the master and the other the servant.
When ones true nature is revealed through Self-realisation, then the spiritual Self becomes the
master, and the physical body the servant. Opposing desires cease to occur as the mind becomes
undivided, it is then that peace of mind is gained, (the two have made peace in the house/mind).
The mountain represents the suffering (despair), which is caused by the conflict between the two
masters, two Self-identities and the opposing desires that accompany each.

Logion 49:

Jesus said, Blessed are the solitary and elect, for you will find the kingdom. For you are from it, and
to it you will return.

Interpretation:
Blessed are you who feel alone and in an unnatural world, because of the Love that you carry. You
will find Gods Kingdom which is Heaven. You are from the Kingdom of Heaven and to the Kingdom
of Heaven you will return. It is you and those who are like you that have come to the world on a
mission of Love; you are the elect.
To be solitary is to realize that you are an individual, an entity that is alone in the space that you
exist in, separated from all that is outside of your mind, which is your personal domain.

Reflect on the following:

I am nothing but I, and my mind and the things contained herein, are my only true possessions. All
that I have that is of worth is stored here, and what is stored here, I alone have stored until I choose
what is of true worth and what is not.
Realize this and you will have come to know your Self, and the Kingdom will be yours.

Logion 50:

Jesus said, If they say to you, 'Where did you come from? say to them, 'we came from the light, the
place where the light came into being on its own accord and established itself and became manifest

through their image. If they say to you, 'Is it you? say, 'We are its children, we are the elect of the
living father. If they ask you, 'What is the sign of your father in you? say to them, 'It is movement
and repose.

Interpretation of: Jesus said, "If they say to you, 'Where did you come from? say to them, 'we
came from the light.

We came from the first soul that is full of perfect Love and Truth, whose power and wisdom is
unsurpassable; we came from God who is the Light above all light.

Interpretation of: The place where the light came into being on its own accord and established
itself.
We came from the place where the Light was Self-begotten, where the All became sentient of its
own accord.

Note: Sentient: living, conscious, aware.

Interpretation of: And became manifest through their image.

We came from God who was the first Self (spiritual being) and perfect mind. It was through each
other that they became manifest.

Interpretation of: If they say to you, 'Is it you? say, 'We are its children, we are the elect of the
living father.
We are Gods children; children of the Light. It is in Gods image, (Father Self and Mother mind) that
every soul was made, but of all Gods children, we are the elect, for we are man and we have been
given some of the things of our Father.

Note: All living creatures have souls; every sentient being is a child of God.

Interpretation of: If they ask you, 'What is the sign of your father in you? say to them, 'It is
movement and repose.

The sign of the Father is free will, the ability to choose ones actions, the ability to move and rest
according to personal desire.

Logion 51:

His disciples said to him, When will the repose of the dead come about and when will the new
world come?" He said to them, "What you look forward to has already come, but you do not
recognize it.

Interpretation of: His disciples said to him, When will the repose of the dead come about
When will the spiritually dead find rest and peace?

Note: There is no rest or peace for the spiritually blind and dead, because they think they are of the
world, and therefore must act according to its ways, which puts them in conflict and competition
with others for the things of the world.

Interpretation of: And when will the new world come?

When will the new way of life come, a new world where people see each other as more precious
than the things of the world?

Interpretation of: He said to them, "What you look forward to has already come, but you do not
recognize it.
They did not realize that Jesus was the first begotten of the dead, the first of the dead to find
repose, and that the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the new world, had arrived, for the Kingdom of
Heaven was within him. The disciples could not see what was in front of them.

Note: It was only much later that the disciples came to know themselves, and were raised,
(resurrected) into spiritual Life, where they found their repose.

Logion 52:

His disciples said to him, Twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel, and all of them spoke in you. He
said to them, You have omitted the one living in your presence and have spoken (only) of the
dead.

Interpretation:
The twenty four prophets all spoke in the way that Jesus did, but none had come to know
themselves. Jesus was the twenty fifth, but unlike the twenty four who were spiritually dead, Jesus
was living because he had come to know himself as a spiritual being. Jesus was the spiritually alive
prophet. The first begotten of the dead, which means there were none living before him.

Logion 53:

His disciples said to him, Is circumcision beneficial or not? He said to them, If it were beneficial,
their father would beget them already circumcised from their mother. Rather, the true circumcision
in spirit has become completely profitable.

Interpretation:
Circumcision is unnatural and painful. It is unloving to cause pain to others. If it was beneficial then
God would have made the physical body already circumcised, and they would have been born that
way. Circumcision became an Abrahamic tradition, performed as a token of a covenant with their
God.
True circumcision in the spirit refers to the removal of a persons ignorance and is completely
profitable.

Note: You must ask yourself, why would God require that a person be circumcised as a token of a
covenant, when God can see into the hearts of people, and therefore know where their Love and
loyalty lies?

Logion 54:

Jesus said, Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of heaven.

Interpretation:

Blessed are the poor, for they have so little of the world to give up, and so entering the Kingdom of
Heaven, will be so much easier for them.

Logion 55:

Jesus said, Whoever does not hate his father and his mother cannot become a disciple to me, and
whoever does not hate his brothers and sisters and take up his cross in my way will not be worthy of
me.

Interpretation:
The mother and father of flesh is flesh. The brother and sister of flesh is flesh. The Father and
Mother of souls is God. You cannot become a disciple of Jesus unless you hate the flesh. It is the soul
of a person that you must recognize and Love.
To take up your cross, is to surrender your life to Love, and be prepared to suffer and die for the
sake of others, and to be faithful to Love, whatever may or may not come.
See John 15:13: This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater
love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do
whatsoever I command you. (Love one another as I have loved you etc.)

Logion 56:

Jesus said, Whoever has come to understand the world has found (only) a corpse, and whoever has
found a corpse is superior to the world.

Interpretation:
Whoever comes to realize that the world (the material/physical) has no life, will realize that it is they
themselves that are life, and therefore they are superior to the world, which is no more than a
corpse.

Logion 57:

Jesus said, The kingdom of the father is like a man who had good seed. His enemy came by night
and sowed weeds among the good seed. The man did not allow them to pull up the weeds; he said
to them, 'I am afraid that you will go intending to pull up the weeds and pull up the wheat along with
them. For on the day of the harvest the weeds will be plainly visible, and they will be pulled up and
burned.

Interpretation of: The kingdom of the father is like a man who had good seed.
The good seed is the Fathers Testament to the world, (the seeds from which is made, the bread of
Life), it is the Testament that is usually referred to as, the Old Testament, but a more accurate
description would be to refer to it as, the First Testament.

Interpretation of: His enemy came by night and sowed weeds among the good seed.
The enemy who sowed the weeds among the good seed were the spiritually blind and dead, who in
the darkness of their ignorance were unable to interpret, or understand the true meanings of the
Fathers Testament, and so they added what they believed were the true meanings, which required
some additions and omissions to the Testament, so that they were able to twist it in their favour.
As it was, so it is.

Interpretation of: The man did not allow them to pull up the weeds; he said to them, 'I am afraid
that you will go intending to pull up the weeds and pull up the wheat along with them.
The Father did not allow His prophets to challenge the adulterated scriptures, because in doing so,
there was the danger of the Fathers Testament being lost also.

Interpretation of: For on the day of the harvest the weeds will be plainly visible, and they will be
pulled up and burned.
The harvest within the mind is the gathering in of the Truth, which occurs when a person comes to
know themselves, for when they come to know themselves, the things that are untrue (weeds)
become plainly visible, and they are destroyed in the conflict between Truth and lies. It is the Self
that gathers the Truth into its heart and in doing so, the Truth becomes a part of the Self, this is why
Jesus said, I am the Truth.
See also: Matthew13:24-30, and its interpretation in Matthew 13:36-43:

Interpretation of: Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

The tares (weeds) are the things that are untrue, and the field is the mind, the place where the
seeds are sown.

Interpretation of: He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of
man.
He that delivers the seeds of Truth is the Fathers child that has come to know himself. Son of man
means son of the Father. Son of men means son of physical man.

Interpretation of: The field is the world.

The field is the mind, and to the Self, the mind is the world that the Self lives in.

Interpretation of: The good seed are the children of the kingdom.
There is the Father, who is a spiritual being, and there is the Fathers Kingdom of Heaven.
The good seed are the seeds of Truth, which are not spiritual beings. The seeds of Truth are of the
Fathers Kingdom of Heaven, but they are not of the Father Himself. All seeds of Truth are in
themselves, children of the Kingdom of Heaven, because that is what gave birth to them, just as a
wheat plant gives birth to its seeds.

Interpretation of: But the tares are the children of the wicked one.
The tares are the untruths which originate in the mind of those who have the false Self-identity of
being a physical being. It is the person who has this false Self-identity that is referred to as the
wicked one, and is usually referred to as Satan.

Interpretation of: The enemy that sowed them is the devil.

The devil of course, refers to the evil heart of the wicked one.

Interpretation of: The harvest is the end of the world.

The harvest is the end of the old mind, and the beginning of the new mind. With this new mind
comes the rebirth of the soul.

Interpretation of: And the reapers are the angels.

Angels of the light are messengers of Truth. A soul that has become enlightened is a messenger of
Truth, but not only this, because every word that they speak becomes a messenger of Truth also.

Interpretation of: As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end
of this world.
The end of this way of life for mankind will come when the Truth is revealed to all, and can no longer
be hidden. It will be the end of the conflict within the collective consciousness. This will come with
the deliverance, to all nations, of this Gospel of the Kingdom.

Interpretation of: The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his
kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of
fire.
Those who have become a Self-realized shall become messengers of Truth, and all that is untrue in
their kingdom/mind, shall be gathered and destroyed in the conflict between Truth and that which is
untrue. There will also be the destruction of all false Self-identities, which have done iniquity, that
is broken the law of Love.

Interpretation of: There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

There shall be the hurt of repentance which cleanses the soul when Truth is realized.

Interpretation of: Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Then shall the True Self, who has become the son of God, be filled with light and shine forth in the
Kingdom of Heaven.

Logion 58:

Jesus said Blessed is the man who has suffered and found life.

Interpretation:

Blessed is the one who has suffered in a divided mind and has found their True Self, for they have
found Life.

Logion 59:

Jesus said, Take heed of the living one while you are alive, lest you die and seek to see him and be
unable to do so.

Interpretation:
Those who have two Self-identities, one as a spiritual being and one as a physical being, exist in a
divided mind. It is the Selfs True identity as a spiritual being that has Life, and it is their false identity
of being a physical being, that has no life. Even though the Self has two identities, and a divided
mind, the True Self and its part of the mind, are still present, although its authority is intermittent.
So:
You should take heed of, (pay attention to) your True Self, while you are aware of it, lest you die
(lose your True Self-identity), and seek to find it again and be unable to.

Logion 60:

<They saw> a Samaritan carrying a lamb on his way to Judea. He said to his disciples, That man is
round about the lamb. They said to him, So that he may kill it and eat it. He said to them, While
it is alive, he will not eat it, but only when he has killed it and it has become a corpse.
They said to him, He cannot do so otherwise.
He said to them, You too, look for a place for yourself within repose, lest you become a corpse and
be eaten

Interpretation:
The lamb represents the True Self, the Self that has Life.
The man represents the false Self, the Self which has no life.
As long as the True Self maintains even a little of its true Self-identity, its Life cannot be taken by its
false Self, but when the false Self destroys the True Selfs identity, then the false Self will become the
unchallenged master.

Interpretation of: He said to them, "You too, look for a place for yourself within repose, lest you
become a corpse and be eaten.
Look for a place of peace within yourself, where you can rest from the world, in case you lose your
True Self completely and be consumed by your false Self.

Note: Always keep the following in remembrance:

I am a spiritual being, not a physical being. My physical body is there; I am here. My mind is there;
I am here.
Self to Mind to Body to World.
You must come back to your Self, to know your Self.

Logion 61:

Jesus said, Two will rest on a bed: the one will die, and the other will live. Salome said, Who are
you, man that you <alone> have come up on my couch and eaten from my table? Jesus said to her,
I am he who exists from the undivided. I was given some of the things of my father. <Salome said>
I am your disciple. *+ Therefore I say, if he is destroyed, he will be filled with light, but if he is
divided, he will be filled with darkness.

Note: At the end logion 60, Jesus made the following statement: You too, look for a place for
yourself within repose, lest you become a corpse and be eaten.

Interpretation:
The two that rest on the bed, is a reference to the divided Self, with its two identities. Whichever
identity the Self acts out, the Self has faith in that identity, therefore the Selfs faith is divided also. It
is as if the Self is living two different and alternating lives, each with their own set of rules.

When the Self loses faith in both of its identities, it is as if they have been put to sleep. Hence the
reference; two will rest on a bed. The Self that has then lost its two identities, is left with no
identity at all, with a mind that is at peace, except for one question; Who am I? and it is in this new
virgin mind, (Salome) that the Self must begin its search for its True identity. The mind then becomes

the student/disciple to the Self. To eat from the table is to contemplate and digest reasonings
obtained from the mind, (meditation, contemplation, realization).

If the Self then chooses to believe that it is a physical body, the whole of the mind and the Self, will
become full of the darkness of ignorance, and the Self will become completely spiritually blind and
dead, and will be of no more worth than a corpse.

If false identities are destroyed, then the Self and the mind are filled with light. It is in this higher
state of consciousness that the false Self no longer exists, and only the True Self exists in solitude.
Self-realization then occurs naturally, and the Self has come to know itself. The things that were
given by the Father are Love and Truth, when they are fully acknowledged and understood, then the
Kingdom of Heaven has arrived, and the Self realizes that it is he who is the Son of the Living Father.
When these things are accomplished, the Son of man will have come, and that Son of man will be
you.

See also in Luke 17:34: I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be
taken, and the other shall be left.

Logion 62:

Jesus said, It is to those who are worthy of my mysteries that I tell my mysteries. Do not let your left
(hand) know what your right (hand) is doing.

Interpretation of: Jesus said, It is to those who are worthy of my mysteries that I tell my mysteries.

It is to those who have a little spiritual sight that I give more.

See also in Matthew 13:10 to 13: And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou
unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be
given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away
even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing
they hear not, neither do they understand.

Interpretation of: Do not let your left (hand) know what your right (hand) is doing.

Note: Here the word hand contained in brackets, was not in the original text, but were added later
by translators.
Do not let the spiritually blind and dead know what the spiritually sighted and living, are doing.
Always use the secret language to protect the teachings.

Logion 63:

Jesus said, There was a rich man who had much money. He said, 'I shall put my money to use so
that I may sow, reap, plant, and fill my storehouse with produce, with the result that I shall lack
nothing. Such were his intentions, but that same night he died. Let him who has ears hear.

Interpretation:
As soon as a person begins to think only of themselves, and their own worldly needs, they are
committing spiritual suicide.

Logion 64:

Jesus said, A man had received visitors. And when he had prepared the dinner, he sent his servant
to invite the guests. He went to the first one and said to him, 'My master invites you. He said, 'I have
claims against some merchants. They are coming to me this evening. I must go and give them my
orders. I ask to be excused from the dinner. He went to another and said to him, 'My master has
invited you. He said to him, 'I have just bought a house and am required for the day. I shall not have
any spare time. He went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you. He said to him, 'My
friend is going to get married, and I am to prepare the banquet. I shall not be able to come. I ask to
be excused from the dinner. He went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you. He said to
him, 'I have just bought a farm, and I am on my way to collect the rent. I shall not be able to come. I
ask to be excused. The servant returned and said to his master, 'Those whom you invited to the
dinner have asked to be excused. The master said to his servant, 'Go outside to the streets and
bring back those whom you happen to meet, so that they may dine. Businessmen and merchants
will not enter the places of my father.

Interpretation:

There are those who are spiritually dead, and there are those who are only spiritually sick. The
spiritually dead do not realize that they are spiritually dead, and therefore their priorities are the
things of the world, and they have no need or interest in spiritual teachings, and not knowing Truth,
they do not know when they have sinned, because they do not know the Law of Love. Jesus said
about such people, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. To be guilty of breaking a
law, you must first know the law.

The spiritually sick are still able to see the need for spiritual healing, and it is they who are worthy of
the teachings that will heal their souls. Such people are sinners, because they knowingly break the
Law of Love. It is for such people that the New Testament was given, so that they may be saved and
have Life.

Only the living may enter the places of the Father, for they prefer the things of Heaven, more than
things of the world.

See also in Luke 14:16-21: Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade
many: And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are
now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have
bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another
said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And
another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So that servant came, and shewed
his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly
into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and
the blind.

Logion 65:

He said, There was a good man who owned a vineyard. He leased it to tenant farmers so that they
might work it and he might collect the produce from them. He sent his servant so that the tenants
might give him the produce of the vineyard. They seized his servant and beat him, all but killing him.
The servant went back and told his master. The master said, 'Perhaps he did not recognize them. He
sent another servant. The tenants beat this one as well. Then the owner sent his son and said,
'Perhaps they will show respect to my son. Because the tenants knew that it was he who was the
heir to the vineyard, they seized him and killed him. Let him who has ears hear.

Interpretation:

The good man is the Father.

The vineyard is the Word.
The tenant farmers were those who were authorized to teach the Fathers Word.
The produce is the people who have received the Word and turned to the Father with Love and
Truth.

The servants are the prophets who the Father sent, and who were rejected and attacked by those
who had been authorized to teach the people.

The Father sent His son, but those who had been authorized to teach the Word, knew that His son
was to take authority over them for the teachings, and so they seized him and killed him, to retain
their authority, wealth and power.

See also in Matthew 21:33-39 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which
planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and
let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: And when the time of the fruit drew near, he
sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen
took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other
servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his
son, saying, they will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among
themselves. This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught
him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

Logion 66:

Jesus said, Show me the stone which the builders have rejected. That one is the cornerstone.

Interpretation:
The cornerstone is the first to be laid in the building of the Selfs temple/mind; it is Love and it is
the stone that the spiritually blind and dead reject, in favour of worldly things.

See also in Matthew 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone
which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and
it is marvelous in our eyes?

Logion 67:

Jesus said, If one who knows the all still feels a personal deficiency, he is completely deficient.

Interpretation:
Knowledge alone will not get you into the Kingdom of Heaven, you must also Love yourself
completely. Any doubt as to ones worth, will make you completely unacceptable for entry into the
Kingdom of Heaven. You cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven, wearing garments of condemnation,
either condemnation of the Self or of others.
What does it profit a man if everyone Loves him, yet he does not Love himself?

Logion 68:

Jesus said, Blessed are you when you are hated and persecuted. Wherever you have been
persecuted they will find no place.

Interpretation:
Those who are loving and speak the Truth, are hated and persecuted by those who have neither.
Those who suffer hate and persecution for Love and Truth are blessed, for they shall find the
Kingdom. Wherever you have been persecuted, they will find no place of repose (rest).

Logion 69:

Jesus said, Blessed are they who have been persecuted within themselves. It is they who have truly
come to know the father. Blessed are the hungry, for the belly of him who desires will be filled.

Interpretation:

Blessed are those who have a conscience and suffer for it, because that suffering is true repentance.
It can only occur in those who know Love and Truth, and in knowing these things, the Father is
known also. Blessed are those who are hungry for Truth, for they will be filled with it. Those who
hunger for Love will have their Love fulfilled.

Logion 70:

Jesus said, That which you have will save you if you bring it forth from yourselves. That which you
do not have within you will kill you if you do not have it within you.

Interpretation:
The Love that you have within will save you, if you have faith in it and express it. The absence of Love
means the absence of Truth and empathy. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Love; the Spirit of God. If
you have Love then the Holy Spirit is with you, therefore also, so is God.
If you do not have these things within, then you will become spiritually blind and dead.

Logion 71:

Jesus said, I shall destroy this house, and no one will be able to build it *...+.

Interpretation:
I will destroy this divided mind, and no-one will be able to rebuild it as a divided mind again, for
where there is light, there can be no darkness.

Logion 72:

A man said to him, Tell my brothers to divide my father's possessions with me. He said to him, O
man, who has made me a divider? He turned to his disciples and said to them, "I am not a divider,
am I?

Interpretation:

Jesus was not a divider, it was division that he sought to end, especially the division within the minds
of people, because when peoples minds are divided, they are also divided against each other, just as
the brothers referred to in this logion are.

Logion 73:

Jesus said, The harvest is great but the labourers are few. Beseech the Lord, therefore, to send out
labourers to the harvest.

Interpretation:
There are many who are ready to enter the Kingdom, but there are so few to show them the Way.
Make an urgent appeal to the Father, for more who are able to teach others, that is pray for more
help.

See also in Matthew 9:37: Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the
labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into
his harvest.

Logion 74:

He said, "O Lord, there are many around the drinking trough, but there is nothing in the cistern.

Interpretation:
There are many who are thirsty for Truth, but the teachers they go to, have none.

Logion 75:

Jesus said, Many are standing at the door, but it is the solitary who will enter the bridal chamber.

Interpretation:

There are many who wish to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is only those who stand alone, in
an undivided mind, that will enter the bridal chamber.
This is the first time that the words, bridal chamber have been mentioned, and so the bridal
chamber needs explaining.

The bridal chamber is the place of the new virgin mind (Salome), which is also mentioned in Logion
61.
The mind is always referred to as female, and the spiritual Self, is always referred to as male.

The mind therefore, is the companion of the spiritual Self, this is why the mind is referred to as the
spiritual Selfs wife. It is also why it was said in Genesis 2:24: Therefore shall a man leave his father
and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh, (one soul).
The Mother of Gods children is the Kingdom of Heaven, (the Fathers mind). It is called the Mother,
because it is the mind that gives the spiritual being life. What you have to realize is, that without a
mind, the Self cannot experience anything, and therefore cannot experience life.
Every spiritual being begins its life in the Kingdom of Heaven, and to bring a spiritual being into life,
is to give birth to it, therefore all of Gods children are born in Heaven, and Heaven is their Mother.

The Selfs wife (mind) began as a piece of Gods mind. Before it was given, all knowledge was
removed from it, making it virgin. Therefore it became the Selfs personal mind/companion, (the
Selfs wife).
When the Self has lost its true identity, it can no longer be called a son of the Father, likewise when
the mind has lost its knowledge of Love and Truth, it can no longer be called the Kingdom of Heaven,
and instead it is referred to simply as, the Kingdom of the Self.

When the Self has come to know itself, and it has regained the knowledge of Love and Truth, then
the mind becomes the bridal chamber, it is there where the Self and the mind make new vows, and
are remarried in the presence of God. The Father and Mothers children are then united in one
house

Logion 76:

Jesus said, The kingdom of the father is like a merchant who had a consignment of merchandise
and who discovered a pearl. That merchant was shrewd. He sold the merchandise and bought the

pearl alone for himself. You too, seek his unfailing and enduring treasure where no moth comes near
to devour and no worm destroys.

Interpretation:
When Jesus begins with the words the kingdom of the father is like, he is alerting those who are
listening, that what he is about to talk about, is not related to worldly things.
The word merchant is a reference to a spiritual being (the Self).
The consignment of merchandise refers to the knowledge gained by all previous reasonings.

To sell this merchandise, means to relinquish all claims upon it, and to exchange it for something of
greater value for the Self alone.
The pearl is of course a pearl of Truth. In this case, the Truth that is found is knowledge of the True
Self.
The unfailing and enduring treasure is of course, knowledge of the Self, which once realized, cannot
be destroyed by others (moths), or by sub-conscious reasonings (worms), that exist below the
surface of the mind.

Logion 77:

Jesus said, It is I who am the light which is above them all. It is I who am the all. From me did the all
come forth, and unto me did the all extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone,
and you will find me there.
Interpretation of: 'Jesus said, It is I who am the light which is above them all.
If there is even a little darkness in a man, then he is full of darkness. Jesus was the light above all
men, because there was no darkness in him. In him there was only Truth.

Interpretation of: 'It is I who am the all.

Note: see Logion 2 concerning the All.

Everything that exists is a part of the All, regardless of the form that the All takes.

Interpretation of: From me did the all come forth, and unto me did the all extend.
What Jesus is saying here is: I am a form of the All that came forth from the All, and it is to me that
the rest of the All extends itself, because I rule over the All.

Note: Spiritual beings are parts of the All that became sentient (living, conscious, aware), and it is
because of this and their free will, that they rule over the parts of the All which are not sentient or
free-willed. Think of the All as the substance from which everything is made. It is an infinite field of
indestructible energy.

Interpretation of: Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me
there.

Simply put, a piece of wood is a part the All, and that which lies beneath a stone, is also a part of the
All. The All is found everywhere, in the various forms that it has taken, be it matter, mind or spiritual
being. We are truly all a part of the One, which is the All, for we are the All that came forth from
itself.

Logion 78:

Jesus said, Why have you come out into the desert? To see a reed shaken by the wind? And to see a
man clothed in fine garments like your kings and your great men? Upon them are the fine garments,
and they are unable to discern the truth.

Interpretation of: Jesus said, "Why have you come out into the desert?
The desert is the mind that is empty of Truth, which is the spiritual water that gives Life.

Interpretation of: To see a reed shaken by the wind?

The reed shaken by the wind is a reference to the soul whose will is bent to and fro by the world.

Interpretation of: And to see a man clothed in fine garments like your kings and your great men?
Upon them are the fine garments, and they are unable to discern the truth.

Those referred to as kings and great men are the rich and powerful, they are the ones who have
everything that is of the world, but they cannot see that which is Truth, because they are spiritually
blind and unable to discern Truth.

Logion 79:

A woman from the crowd said to him, Blessed are the womb which bore you and the breasts which
nourished you. He said to her, Blessed are those who have heard the word of the father and have
truly kept it. For there will be days when you will say, 'Blessed are the womb which has not
conceived and the breasts which have not given milk.

Interpretation of: A woman from the crowd said to him, Blessed are the womb which bore you
and the breasts which nourished you.
The woman was blessing the womb and breasts of Jesus physical mother, believing that it was his
physical mother that gave him life.

Interpretation of: He said to her, Blessed are those who have heard the word of the father and
have truly kept it.
Jesus was saying: The ones that are truly blessed are those who have heard the Truth, and because
of their faith in it they have lived by it.

Interpretation of: For there will be days when you will say, 'Blessed are the womb which has not
conceived and the breasts which have not given milk.
For there will be days when you will wish that you hadnt been born and raised as a physical being.

Logion 80:

Jesus said, He who has recognized the world has found the body, but he who has found the body is
superior to the world. But he who has found the body is superior to the world.

Interpretation:

Those who believe that they are physical beings, see no distinction between the Self and the body,
but those who recognize the world, as that which has no life, are then able to recognize the
difference in nature between, Self, mind and body, and they realize that they are superior to the
world and the body that they now recognize.

Logion 81:

Jesus said, Let him who has grown rich be king, and let him who possesses power renounce it.

Interpretation of: Jesus said, "Let him who has grown rich be king.
Let him who has gathered his treasure, (Love and Truth) into the Kingdom within, be his own master,
the king of his own domain (mind).

Interpretation of: And let him who possesses power renounce it.
And let him who possesses power over other people, renounce it. Let them be their own master
also.

Logion 82:

Jesus said, He who is near me is near the fire, and he who is far from me is far from the kingdom.

Interpretation:
Note: See in Logion 10: Christ delivered the Truth, which caused a fire of discontentment in the
minds of those who heard it; a fire that would destroy the lies in men's minds, and awaken them
spiritually; a fire that would cause discontentment with the world and its ways. He was guarding that
fire until it blazed, and people began to call out for Truth.

Those who were near the fire were near to the one who had started it, and was fuelling it.
Those who were far from Jesus, were the ones not receiving his teachings, and so were far from
entering the Kingdom.

Logion 83:

Jesus said, The images are manifest to man, but the light in them remains concealed in the image of
the light of the father. He will become manifest, but his image will remain concealed by his light.

Interpretation of: Jesus said, The images are manifest to man, but the light in them remains
concealed in the image of the light of the father.
The fact that the Self and mind exist, is obvious to the Self, but the conscious awareness of these
things, remains hidden in the sub-conscious. The Self will become fully, consciously aware of itself,
but the visual image of the Self will remain hidden within consciousness.

Interpretation of: He will become manifest, but his image will remain concealed by his light.
When the mind is full of light, the Self is also full of light and the two are indistinguishable.
Therefore, the image of the Self cannot be seen in the light. The enlightened mind is the same as the
Fathers mind, (the Kingdom of Heaven).
The enlightened mind is the mind of one who has come to know himself, and that mind is full of
Love and Truth.

Logion 84:

Jesus said, When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But when you see your images which came into
being before you, and which neither die nor become manifest, how much you will have to bear!

Interpretation of: Jesus said, When you see your likeness, you rejoice.
When you come to know yourself, you rejoice.

Interpretation of: But when you see your images which came into being before you.
But when you realize the true nature of the Self and the mind, that came into being before they
came together as a soul.

Interpretation of: And which neither die nor become manifest, how much you will have to bear.
And which are immortal and invisible, how difficult will it be to accept the true nature of your Self.

Logion 85:

Jesus said, Adam came into being from a great power and a great wealth, but he did not become
worthy of you, for had he been worthy, he would not have experienced death.

Interpretation of: Jesus said, "Adam came into being from a great power.
Adam came into being from the Father, as did every spiritual being. Adam is the name given to each
and every, newly created spiritual being. Adam actually means, new man.

Interpretation of: And a great wealth.

The great wealth is the Fathers treasures in Heaven; they are the treasures of Love and Truth.

Interpretation of: But he did not become worthy of you, for had he been worthy, he would not have
experienced death.
Every newly created spiritual being experiences spiritual death, (loss of their true identity), because
every newly created soul, has to eat from the Tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The old Self that had lost its true identity, is not worthy of the new Self, that has come to know itself
and become enlightened.

Logion 86:

Jesus said, The foxes have their holes and the birds have their nests, but the son of man has no
place to lay his head and rest.

Interpretation:
The deceivers have their places to hide, and those who think they have all that they need, rest in
their ignorance, but the son of man can find no place to rest his mind, for his Love for others
compels him to end their ignorance and suffering. There is nowhere to lay down the burden.

Logion 87:

Jesus said, Wretched is the body that is dependent upon a body, and wretched is the soul that is
dependent on these two.

Interpretation:
Wretched is the spiritual body (the Self) that is dependent upon the physical body, because the Self
believes that it is that physical body, and wretched is the soul (Self and mind) that depends upon
these two.

Logion 88:

Jesus said, The angels and the prophets will come to you and give to you those things you (already)
have. And you too, give them those things which you have, and say to yourselves, 'When will they
come and take what is theirs?

Interpretation:
The angels and the prophets will come to you through their teachings, and will confirm the Truth
that you already have inside of you. And you too do as they have done, and give to others the Truth
which you have, and say to yourselves, when will others come and take the Truth that is theirs.

Logion 89:

Jesus said, Why do you wash the outside of the cup? Do you not realize that he who made the
inside is the same one who made the outside?

Interpretation:
The outside of cup represents the physical body. The inside of the cup represents the soul. Both
were made by God.

There are those who cleanse their bodies and put on fine clothes, to gain the respect of others, yet
inside they are full of corruption. First cleanse the inside of the cup, because it is the inside of the
cup that contains what you will drink.

Logion 90:

Jesus said, Come unto me, for my yoke is easy and my lordship is mild, and you will find repose for
yourselves.

Interpretation:
Jesus carries Love and Truth, instead of carrying the burden of the things of the world. As a teacher
he was compassionate and caring, and those who became his students/disciples, found rest from
worldly cares.

Logion 91:

They said to him, Tell us who you are so that we may believe in you.
He said to them, You read the face of the sky and of the earth, but you have not recognized the one
who is before you, and you do not know how to read this moment.

Interpretation:
They had sight and understanding of the world. They could recognize the things of the world, and so
could see what the moment held and what was to come. For example, they could tell what the
weather would be like tomorrow by reading the sky. But concerning spiritual things they were blind,
and so were unable to comprehend the soul of Jesus, or realize the importance of his presence. They
did not realize that he was the Messiah and that the Kingdom of Heaven had arrived.

Logion 92:

Jesus said, Seek and you will find. Yet, what you asked me about in former times and which I did not
tell you then, now I do desire to tell, but you do not inquire after it.

Interpretation:
Those who seek must keep on seeking until they find. If you stop seeking then you will not find.
A good teacher teaches his students according to their ability to understand, he takes them through
one level at a time.
In the beginning the disciples were eager in their search, but there were some teachings that they
were not yet ready for, and so Jesus withheld that knowledge until they were ready. By the time that
they were ready, and Jesus wanted to tell them, his disciples had lost their eagerness to learn.

Logion 93:

<Jesus said,> Do not give what is holy to dogs, lest they throw them on the dung-heap. Do not
throw the pearls to swine, lest they *...+ it *...+.

Interpretation:
Do not give my teachings to those who Love the world and have no spiritual sight, or desire for it, for
they will treat the teachings as rubbish, and they will become hostile to you, and try to make you
look foolish and liars.
See also in Matthew 7:6: Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls
before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Logion 94:

Jesus said, He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in.

Interpretation:
Those who seek do so with sincerity, and it is they who will find. To knock is to focus your attention
on and to question (ask). You knock on a door because you want to be let in. Likewise you ask a
question because you want to be let in on its Truth.

See also in Matthew 7:7: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened.

Logion 95:

Jesus said, If you have money, do not lend it at interest, but give it to one from whom you will not
get it back.

Interpretation:
If you have money to lend then you already have more than you need.
You should not take advantage of those who are in need, by lending them money and charging them
interest, because you make their struggle even greater. What then have you done for them that is
good? You will do far more good by giving the money you do not need, to those who have less than
they need, and your reward will be greater.

Logion 96:

Jesus said, The kingdom of the father is like a certain woman. She took a little leaven, concealed it
in some dough, and made it into large loaves. Let him who has ears hear.

Note: When Jesus begins with the words the kingdom of the father is like, he alerting those who
are listening, that what he is about to talk about, is not related to worldly things.

Interpretation of: The kingdom of the father is like a certain woman.

This is a reference to the mind of Jesus (the mind is always referred to as female).

Interpretation of: She took a little leaven, concealed it in some dough.

His mind took a little Truth that would entice curiosity and concealed it in a parable.

Interpretation of: And made it into large loaves.

And made it into food for hungry souls, (spiritual teachings).

Logion 97:

Jesus said, The kingdom of the father is like a certain woman who was carrying a jar full of meal.
While she was walking on the road, still some distance from home, the handle of the jar broke and
the meal emptied out behind her on the road. She did not realize it; she had noticed no accident.
When she reached her house, she set the jar down and found it empty.

Interpretation:

Note: Meal is pre-germinated whole grain that is still encased in the husk.
A certain woman represents the mind of a certain person.
The jar full of meal refers to the mind that contains the unrealized Truth.
While on their life journey and still far from its end, this person lost their true spiritual identity and
the unrealized Truth began to be lost completely. When the person came to the end of their life,
they looked into their mind, and found it empty of Truth.

Do not wait until the end of your life to search for Truth, for if you do not water the seeds of Truth
with the Spirit, then they will not germinate and grow, but instead they will eventually be buried so
deep in the subconscious, that they will never see the light.

Logion 98:

Jesus said, The kingdom of the father is like a certain man who wanted to kill a powerful man. In his
own house he drew his sword and stuck it into the wall in order to find out whether his hand could
carry through. Then he slew the powerful man.

Interpretation:
Here we look into the mind of Jesus, when he withdrew into the desert for 40 days and 40 nights to
overcome his false Self-identity as a physical being, so that his faith in his true identity as a spiritual
being could be perfected.
In his own house (mind), he struggled against his false identity, testing it against his faith and with
the Truth that he carried. The remnants of the belief in his false identity, was the wall that he
tested his Truth on.

On leaving the desert, his false Self-identity (his alter-ego) tried to tempt him, but he destroyed it
completely with his Truth. This destroyed all of the darkness and his mind became full of the light of
Love and Truth. It was after this that Jesus began his mission to free others from the darkness.
See also in Matthew 4:1: Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of
the devil.

Logion 99:

The disciples said to him, Your brothers and your mother are standing outside. He said to them,
Those here who do the will of my father are my brothers and my mother. It is they who will enter
the kingdom of my father.

Interpretation:
Jesus did not consider physical beings as being his family, because they are of the flesh. Jesus knew
that he was a spiritual being and it was other spiritual beings that he considered to be his true
family. It is not physical beings that will enter the Kingdom of the Father, for it is a spiritual realm
and only those who do the Fathers will, can enter there.

Logion 100:

They showed Jesus a gold coin and said to him, Caesar's men demand taxes from us. He said to
them, Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar, give God what belongs to God, and give me what is
mine.

Interpretation:
Give unto those who are of the world, the things of the world.
Give unto God the things that are of the spiritual world.
And give unto me what is mine, which is my peace.

Logion 101:

<Jesus said,> Whoever does not hate his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to
me. And whoever does not love his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to me.
For my mother *...+, but my true mother gave me life.

Interpretation:
Whoever does not hate physical beings as I do cannot become a disciple to me.
Whoever does not Love spiritual beings as I do cannot become a disciple to me.
For my physical mother brought my physical body into the world, but my true Mother, which is the
Kingdom of Heaven, gave me Life. For the flesh gives birth to flesh, and spirit gives birth to the spirit.
See also in Luke 14:26: If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and
children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Logion 102:

Jesus said, Woe to the Pharisees, for they are like a dog sleeping in the manger of oxen, for neither
does he eat nor does he let the oxen eat.

Interpretation:
The Pharisees were in the temple and in control of the Fathers Word, which is the bread of life, but
they would not eat that bread themselves, neither would allow anyone else to.

Logion 103:

Jesus said, Fortunate is the man who knows where the brigands will enter, so that he may get up,
muster his domain, and arm himself before they invade.

Interpretation:

Fortunate is the man, who knows what the enemies of his faith will say to challenge his faith, so that
he may ready himself, gather his thoughts, and prepare himself with the correct responses, before
they enter his mind as an enemy.

Logion 104:

They said to Jesus, Come, let us pray today and let us fast.
Jesus said, What is the sin that I have committed, or wherein have I been defeated? But when the
bridegroom leaves the bridal chamber, then let them fast and pray.

Interpretation:
The only reason to pray is for forgiveness, because the Father knows your needs without you having
to ask.
Fasting is done to overcome the temptations of the physical body.
Jesus had committed no sin, and therefore was not in need of forgiveness and he had not been
defeated by the temptations of the physical body, so there was no need for him to fast from the
things of the world.
When the Self that has come to know itself, leaves the enlightened mind (bridal chamber), then let
them fast and pray.

Logion 105:

Jesus said, He who knows the father and the mother will be called the son of a harlot.

Interpretation:
You cannot know a person as both a physical being and a spiritual being and so, he who knows his
mother and father as physical beings, must also see himself as a physical being, and if he believes
this, then his mind has already been prostituted to the world, in other words, he is renting his mind
out to the world, to gain for himself the things that are of it.

Logion 106:

Jesus said, When you make the two one, you will become the sons of man, and when you say,
'Mountain, move away,' it will move away.

Interpretation:
When you make the divided mind undivided, then you will become the true spiritual beings that you
are, and because of the power of your faith, you will say to the mountain of despair, move away,
and it will move away.

Logion 107:

Jesus said, The kingdom is like a shepherd who had a hundred sheep. One of them, the largest,
went astray. He left the ninety-nine sheep and looked for that one until he found it. When he had
gone to such trouble, he said to the sheep, I care for you more than the ninety-nine.

Interpretation:
Jesus referred to himself and a shepherd and his disciples as sheep.
The largest sheep was a reference to Mary Magdalene. It was Mary that Jesus loved more than the
others. He had saved her from being stoned, and she had become a disciple, but she drifted back
into her old ways, so Jesus went and found her and brought her back into the flock and she became
one of the greatest of his disciples and his closest companion.

See also the Gospel of Phillip:

There were three who always walked with the Lord: Mary, his mother, and her sister, and
Magdalene, the one who was called his companion. His sister and his mother and his companion
were each a Mary.
As for the Wisdom who is called 'the barren', she is the mother of the angels. And the companion of
[the saviour was Mar]y Ma[gda]lene. [Christ loved] M[ary] more than [all] the disci[ples, and used to]
kiss her [softly] on her [hand]. The rest of [the disciples were offended by it and expressed
disapproval]. They said to him "Why do you love her more than all of us?" The Saviour answered and
said to them, "Why do I not love you like her? When a blind man and one who sees are both
together in darkness, they are no different from one another. When the light comes, then he who
sees will see the light, and he who is blind will remain in darkness.

See also the Gospel of Mary:

Peter said to Mary, Sister, we know that the Savior loved you more than the rest of the women
See also in Matthew 18:12: How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be
gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that
which is gone astray?

Logion 108:

Jesus said, He who will drink from my mouth will become like me. I myself shall become he, and the
things that are hidden will be revealed to him.

Interpretation:
He who will listen to and understand my teachings, will become Self realized and enlightened like
me. We will become as one, and all of the mysteries that were hidden from him, will be revealed to
him.

Logion 109:

Jesus said, The kingdom is like a man who had a hidden treasure in his field without knowing it. And
after he died, he left it to his son. The son did not know (about the treasure). He inherited the field
and sold it. And the one who bought it went ploughing and found the treasure. He began to lend
money at interest to whomever he wished.

Interpretation:
It should be realized that this parable describes the journey that the Self takes, from the time that it
loses its true identity, until the time it finds it again, and achieves enlightenment.
It can be seen that there are three characters in this parable, which are the man, his son, and the
new owner. These three characters do not represent three different people, but rather they
represent three different personalities of the same spiritual being.
So we start with a man (spiritual being), who has a treasure in his field (mind), but does not know
about it.

When he begins to lose his faith in his true identity as a spiritual being, he comes to believe that he is
a physical being, and is now referred to as dead. His true Self-identity as a spiritual being fades into
the background, but still exists.

There are now two Self identities, one strong, one weak. Because of this the Self becomes divided
against itself, each with its own desires and rules. This causes the mind to become divided also.
His new strong identity as a physical being, is referred to as his son, and it is this son (the false Self),
that inherits the greater part of the mind from his true Self. This new false Self (son), did not know
about the treasure in its mind either.

Eventually the son became weary with the world, and the condemnations from the spiritual Self,
which acted as his conscience and so he sold the part of the mind that he controlled, to the
spiritual Self in exchange for peace. The one who bought it went searching in the field (mind), and
found the treasure.
The treasure was of course, the Truth concerning the Selfs true identity as a spiritual being. It is the
pearl mentioned in logion 76.

Interpretation of: He began to lend money at interest to whomever he wished.

He began to teach, this new found knowledge of the Self to others, and he profited from his
teachings by gaining brothers.

Note: Lend = teach. Money/treasure = knowledge. Interest = a profit.

Logion 110:

Jesus said, Whoever finds the world and becomes rich, let him renounce the world.

Interpretation:
Whoever realizes the true nature of the world, and then recognizes that he is not of the same nature
as it, and then finds the treasure within, let him renounce the world.

Logion 80: Jesus said, He who has recognized the world has found the body. But he who has found
the body is superior to the world.

Logion 111:

Jesus said, The heavens and the earth will be rolled up in your presence. And the one who lives
from the living one will not see death. Does not Jesus say, Whoever finds himself is superior to the
world?

Interpretation:
Whoever comes to know himself will have eternal life and he will experience a paradigm shift in
consciousness, as all false beliefs and illusions collapse, making way for true reality, and a new
Heaven and earth will be seen. He will never look at either the spiritual world or the material world
the same again.

Logion 112:

Jesus said, Woe to the flesh that depends on the soul; woe to the soul that depends on the flesh.

Interpretation:
The flesh will eventually die, no matter how much the soul takes care of it. The soul that depends on
the flesh for its life will experience death also.

Logion 113:

His disciples said to him, When will the kingdom come? Jesus said, It will not come by waiting for
it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is. Rather, the kingdom of the father is
spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.

Interpretation:

The Kingdom will not come by waiting for it, because it is already here, the Kingdom is the mind, it is
the Selfs domain, a piece of the Fathers Kingdom that was given to you to rule. Because there are
many minds, the Kingdom is spread out upon the earth, and men neither see it, nor realize it.

Logion 114:

Simon Peter said to him, Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life. Jesus said, I myself
shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you
males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven.

Interpretation:
This logion reveals the ignorance of Simon Peter, concerning the nature of the Self. At this time,
Simon Peter regarded Mary as a female physical being, and therefore considered her not worthy of
Jesus teachings or to enter the Kingdom. At this time, Mary also considered herself as a female
physical being, but Jesus knew that she was a spiritual being, and that all spiritual beings are referred
to as male. Jesus also new, that it was only the mind that was referred to as female.

When Jesus said that he would lead Mary in order to make her male, what he meant was that he
would teach her to come to know herself as a spiritual being, which were make her spiritually a
male. It is only those who have come to know themselves as a spiritual being that are referred to as,
living spirits.
When Jesus referred to the other disciples as males, he was of course referring to them as spiritual
beings and not their physical gender.

Every woman, who comes to realize that she is a spiritual being, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven,
and have eternal life with the Father.

All minds are of Heaven, and all spiritual beings are of the Father. Therefore there is no difference
between souls, and all souls are Gods children and God loves them all equally. We are a family and
we have one Father who created all things, and one Mother who is Heaven; together they are God.

The Holy Spirit has spoken, and the Gospel of the Kingdom has been revealed once more, let there
be peace and Love between all of Gods children, then we can all go Home.

All spiritual beings are regarded as male because they are of the Father. The mind is regarded as
female because it gives birth to life (awareness). The soul can have one or two self-identities or even
both, that is I am spirit (male), I am mind (female), or I am both (which is uncertainty). To make Mary
a male was to make her self-realized as a spiritual being (of the Father and not a part of the mind).
Only those who realize what they are, can enter the kingdom.
Mary believed that she was female, because she hadnt come to know herself as a spiritual being.
