The Gospel of Thomas, often classified as a Gnostic text, does not directly serve as a polemic against religion in general, but it does present a distinctive approach to spiritual teachings that contrasts with mainstream Christian doctrines. Here are some aspects of its content and themes that suggest a different perspective on religious practice and belief:
The Gospel of Thomas, a collection of sayings attributed to Jesus found in the Nag Hammadi library, is often seen as esoteric and open to interpretation. Though it predates Einstein’s famous equation E=mc2 by nearly two millennia, some have drawn imaginative parallels between its spiritual wisdom and modern physics. Here’s how one might make the case that the Gospel of Thomas symbolically reflects the energy-mass equivalence:
When Mars exits retrograde and goes direct, it often brings a shift in energy and dynamics that affects many areas of life, particularly those governed by Mars such as ambition, drive, aggression, and conflict resolution. Here's what typically happens astrologically when Mars goes direct:
Plants, including grass and trees, embody an extraordinary, almost zen-like approach to existence:
Did you know the U.S. government has an official department dedicated to addressing UFOs/UAPs? After many years, the government is openly addressing claims that it misled the public, ridiculed witnesses, and obscured the truth about UFOs/UAPs. Established in 2022, the "All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO)" evolved from a task force initiated in 2021.
Laurence Gonzales is a bestselling author and an editor for National Geographic Adventure magazine. His father was a fighter pilot in World War II and was the sole survivor when the B-17 he was flying was shot down in Germany. Hearing his father’s harrowing story sparked a fascination in young Laurence: the mysteries of survival—who lives, who dies, and why. In his book, Deep Survival, he examines perilous situations, the sometimes inexplicable decisions people made that contributed to their deaths, and what he sees as the common traits of the survivors.
During the Cold War era, the CIA launched a program to recruit individuals with intuitive and psychic capabilities to engage in "remote viewing"—the practice of using extrasensory perception to gather information about distant or unseen targets, such as Soviet facilities or activities. This initiative, often referred to as Project Stargate (or related programs), stemmed from a belief that the Soviet Union was conducting similar research into psychic phenomena for intelligence purposes. The history of these efforts is relatively well-documented, with declassified documents and accounts revealing both the seriousness with which these programs were pursued and the challenges they faced in demonstrating consistent results.
A Paradigm Shift
I think our lives are supposed to be fun. If lion cubs and other baby animals learn by playing, maybe our own path is found that way, too. Maybe fun is nature’s way of teaching: Spirit/Universe/God guiding.
There was a relatively recent (1990s) discovery in our brains, a type of neuron now known as mirror neurons. In a nutshell, these neurons fire when you watch someone do something, but then they also fire when you do the action yourself.
Renowned physicist and futurist Michio Kaku explains String Theory and Quantum Physics. Kaku, who is known for his ability to make complex scientific concepts accessible, breaks down the concepts and how they can change our understanding of the universe.
I remember watching Dr. Doolittle as a kid and wishing wishing wishing for the ability to talk to the animals. I think every pet owner has felt that, especially when you can tell your animal friend is not feeling well. And how would things change if we could hear what the wildlife around us was thinking?
The portion of the universe that humans have explored using telescopes, satellites, and space probes—what we refer to as the known universe—is astonishingly small when compared to the vastness of the entire cosmos. To put this into perspective, imagine a single cup of water drawn from the ocean. This small cup represents all that we have observed and studied. The entire ocean, with its immense depth and expanse, symbolizes the full extent of the universe, much of which remains beyond our reach and understanding.
The variety of String Theories regarding the nature of reality point to a multidimensional reality, or as many call it, a multiverse. The growth of individuals utilizing psychic phenomena indicates an openness at the grassroots level in our society. Let us explore these realms and the meaning they bring to us personally and collectively.
Everything is energy! This is the paradigm of understanding the nature of our reality in our day. The physical world is only an illusion. Quantum Physics, String Theories, and recognition of dark matter and dark energy confirm this. Yet, we often fail to recognize that this paradigm shift puts us closer to the concepts and ideas of the ancients. The ideas of people like Pythagoras make more sense to us now than it has in two millenniums.
