A collection of spiritual principles intended to provoke one to think and question the order of the Cosmos.
We talk about secret teachings and hidden wisdom all the time. Allegories and mysteries seem to be at the heart of mystic Christianity. Anyone who has ever read a gnostic text knows exactly how they play up the mystery of the journey within. But… I’d like to demystify inner transformation and invite you to study the opening lines of the Gospel of Thomas with me. Click the link for more.
Before I kick off another vlog on how to seek hidden wisdom I feel it’s important to look at the hidden-ness of Thomas. A lot has been written on the secrets of the logion that I feel scares people away from their treasure. Lets take a look at what hidden wisdom is buried in the opening lines of Thomas and see if we can’t find something less enigmatic together. Click the link for more.
“To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that seeing they may not see and hearing they may not understand.” -Luke 8:10 There were obviously hidden threads in the Gospels but I doubt they were nearly as secretive as […]
“If your religion doesn’t bring you lasting peace then you’re better off with a Pepsi because at least that quenches you’re thirst.” -Lama Thubten Yeshe I woke up angrier than I’ve been in a while. It didn’t make any sense. I just visited family and spent some time in the mountains. Had an actual Christmas […]

Struggling is a part of the human experience. We all know the ‘grow through what we go through’ quotes. We have all of these maxims, but what do we do when the rubber hits the road? Do we throw our compassion out the window and watch our faiths die? No. We journey within and seek a divine solution. ‘Count it all joy when you go through trials’ right.

And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. -Mark 15:38 When we think of Christianity ideas of dogmatic practices and mega-churches come to mind. We see this billion dollar industry living tax free in America. Stereotypical visions of prosperity preachers passing collection plates come to mind. A few may […]
“On the third day there was a wedding in Cana, in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.” -John 2:1 Jewish mysticism has a practice called gematria- interpreting the meaning of scriptures based on numerical values.
