The Mystic
Every distinction serves only to separate us.
V.89 The End of all Distinctions
Arriving in the world we will have perceived no separation between ourselves and our mothers. As the metaphorical child of seven days each of us will have recognised ourselves to be innately whole. As life progresses however we start to make the distinctions that enable our surival in a world that propagates distinction. Up/down, left/right, male/female, human/other than human, our minds become full of the separations that enable us to make sense of oujr place here.In v.89 Jesus reminds his audience that the distinction between their inner and outer self is illusory. They are known by the ONE as their whole selves.
V.15 The ONE not born of woman
The Mystic accesses a different state of consciousness. Though she may see a separate table and chair the light of the Unity shines through them. In this state of consciousness she perceives everything as the ONEness. The apprehension of this undifferentiated unity is a non-sensory, non-intellectual state that is embodied within our whole selves. In Thomas Jesus tells us that the ONE (not born of woman) is the only thing worthy of our worship.
