That was the opening of the Gospel of Thomas in the Gnostic Bible. Anyone who has read the Gnostic Bible, be sure to comment so I can hear your advice. This thread is about sayings that relate to that, not only by Jesus, but also Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna, and anyone else who said something that helped you. I want to discuss a few of those so submit a passage or two of what you want to find a meaning for and what you think.
My first one:
Gospel of Thomas 22: Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]."
This reminds me of how there is only one way to god, yet there is many ways to god, and the two are one. A friend of mine said this is about the divine number of 3, as we are 3 dimensional creatures, and there is positive, negative, and neutral, and that neutrality is whole, and in this case spiritually whole, like those who were made into a single one.
I'll be sure to add some from the Quran so we'll have some diversity. I haven't found a compilation of any of Buddhas saying or Krishna, but I cant say I've even looked in to it. I'm certainly open to it and would love to have someone's perspective who has read a lot of their works and understand their wisdom.
