Gospel of Thomas, Verse 70: The Suppressed Gnostic Teaching of Inner Divinity

There's something missing from our story. And we know there's something missing because the evidence of the advanced civilizations and >> [music] >> the cosmic knowledge that we've uncovered from our past doesn't support the story that we tell ourselves when it comes to our origins, our history, our destiny, and ultimately our fate. >> [music] >> The archaeology, it's important. The physical remains of the temples and the tombs, cosmic [music] markers, they can only tell us so much. The missing link is the thinking of the [music] people that built the sites. What did they know in their time that we've forgotten today? What did they know in their time that we're only beginning to understand about our [music] world? Our history is the story of our effort to remember our divine essence in this world. Now, there are many ways that we can explore this history. You can choose your language. You can look at biblical texts [music] that are historical but also involve religious principles. You can look at ancient archaeological relics that record the history without the religion. You can look at the best science of the modern world that tells us we're not what we've been told. We're so much more than we've been led to believe. Choose your language. You can talk about ancient forces in the heavens, cosmic forces, the battle that eventually came to Earth. Or you can talk about an advanced race of beings from another world having a cosmic battle using advanced technology that eventually came to this world and produced us. You can talk about angels with wings or ancient rulers with wings. All the stories lead to the same outcome. They all tell us that we are imbued with a force given to no other form of life. A force that is the divinity that sets us [music] apart from all other forms of life. Some of the most detailed descriptions of our story are found in the ancient Gnostic texts. In 1945, a discovery was made near the village of Nag Hammadi along the Nile River in Egypt. It was a cache of records that contained the oldest unedited records of the New Testament as well as Gnostic [music] texts that had been largely destroyed centuries ago. Known as the Nag Hammadi Library, >> [music] >> there's 13 bound books, not scrolls, but actually bound books representing more than 50 of these ancient texts that were found in the library. To give you some idea of the diversity of texts that was found in the Nag Hammadi Library, some of the titles included were the Gospel of Truth, Sophia of Jesus Christ, the Origin of the World, the Gospel of Philip, the Secret Gospel of John, the Hypostasis of the Archons, Thunder, Perfect Mind, the First Apocalypse of James, the Second Apocalypse of James, and [music] 41 additional texts. Well, the texts were discovered in 1945, they were not released to the public, however, the translations until 1977. And you have to ask, why would it take 32 years to release this information? Well, the answer to that question and the key to our divinity is found in the second most dangerous text found in the Nag Hammadi Library banned by the early Christian Church, the Gospel of Thomas. The conventional Bible contains the outer teachings based in religion for everyday people. The Nag Hammadi and the Gnostic texts, however, are the inner teachings based in spirituality, not religion, and they are for the initiated. The master Yeshua, later known as Jesus, in the Gospel of Thomas, verse number 70, says to his followers that when you bring forth that which is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth that which is within you, what is within you will destroy you. What he's saying is there's a force inside of us that has to be expressed. That expression is the core [music] of our divinity. What is that expression all about? What is that force? Well, to answer that question, let's go to the first most dangerous banned book, the Secret Gospel of John. This is a fascinating text because it has different names. It's also called the Apocryphon of John. It's also called the Secret Revelation of John or the Secret Book of John. It was excluded by the early Christian Church in another council in 419 Common Era, not the the Council of Nicaea that we often hear about in the year 325 Common Era, and I want to make that distinction so that we know when these texts disappeared. Secret Gospel of John says that within you lies the light of the Aeons. All right, already [music] this Gospel is heresy because it's telling us that there's something inside of us where at the time the tradition was that the light is beyond us, that we need something outside of us to get to the light. We need an intermediary. We need another person. We need a religion. We need a protocol to get to the light. John says no. That light is right inside of you. Light is an electromagnetic force, a literal force that lives within us. Aeons, when we talk about the Aeons, >> [music] >> the Gnostic texts are very clear that these are god-like beings that emanate from the highest dimensions of space and time in the universe. So, it is the light of these higher dimensional beings, these extraordinarily advanced beings that actually lives within us. It's already there. We're given the power of the Aeons. But John goes on to say, your light is hidden from the rulers who seek to keep you in forgetfulness. And there it is right there. I'd like to share a few excerpts from the Secret Gospel of John just to give you a better sense. I want you to hear the exact words as they were recorded. Interestingly, this translation is relatively new. It was only made available in 1984 from a text that was discovered in 1945. So, I'm going to share the exact words from that text that are describing the first human creation and what it is that set us apart from all other forms of life. Now, the text begins by saying the first human appeared [music] to the rulers in the image of a human. Now, those rulers are also known as Archons. >> [music] >> Archons are forces that rule or govern over this three-dimensional world in ways that are at odds with our divinity. So, the first human appeared in a human image. Look what happened when the first human appeared. It says tremors rumbled through the realm of the first ruler and rocked the foundations of the abyss. The waters that lie above the material world were lit [music] up by the glowing image and by the light of his body and by his body's image. Now, this is really interesting to me as a geologist. I'm a degree geologist and there is a time in geologic history, a time of great controversy, when there is speculation and the evidence supports >> [music] >> that there was much more water vapor in the atmosphere around us, literally an ocean over our heads. And this text is actually saying that [music] the creation of the first human occurred when that water was in the sky. Well, we know the first creation began 200,000 years BP, before present, geologic history, that is the Pleistocene era. That is precisely the time that [music] some scientists believe that this water vapor, called a canopy, actually existed in the sky above us. But the text goes on. Says the rulers immediately became jealous. Through their own efforts, Adam, the first created, and their own power empowered him, yet he was more enlightened than they and more enlightened than their master. The perfect man within Adam, they say, was revealed by the light inside [music] of him, and his mind was stronger and more capable than the minds of his creators. The whole multitude of rulers came together to decide what to do about this. So, there it is right there. The rulers, the creators, recognized the power, the divinity that was imbued within the first human as a problem rather than celebrating and embracing the success of their creation. Immediately, they began to find ways to repress that power. The text goes on. When the ruler learned that Adam's mental ability surpassed his, he wanted to put a stop to Adam's thought. And that's it right there. The attempt to repress the divinity that was given to the first of our kind set in motion the events that continue to this day in the efforts to deny our divinity through language and through technology. And in addition to that, there is a large-scale effort to remake our bodies through a process that is often called the 2030 vision for the Great Reset, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. I like to say things to the positive, so let's turn that around. As we accept our divinity, we ignite we ignite our love, our happiness, our healing, our self-worth, our passion for life itself. The body is the key to transcend the expression of evil in our lives. This is the knowledge that empowers you to recognize the patterns of ancient struggle and to transcend that struggle that began so long ago. Today, the forces of good and evil take on even deeper meaning as the movement to replace our human-ness with technology gains momentum and becomes more apparent each and every day. By embracing the highest expressions of love and imagination, creativity and healing, we triumph in this ancient struggle and we live the divinity that was given to us so very long ago. In the next episode, I'm going to share the 2022 experiment that is now forcing scientists to ask a deeply spiritual question. The question is this, is there a part of us that does not live inside of our bodies? I think once you see the experiment, you're going to ask exactly the same question.
