The Lost Gospel of Thomas - ROBERT SEPEHR

- The Gospel of Thomas is part of the Nag Hammadi library discovered in Egypt in 1945, a collection of non-canonical post-resurrection secret teachings allegedly made by Jesus considered by the Church as a heretical Gnostic text. Scholars speculate that the works were buried in response to a letter from Bishop Athanasius declaring a strict canon of Christian scripture.

• The Gospel of Thomas
Gnosis literally means "knowledge", in the context of a spiritual knowledge, or divine insight, emerging directly from the inside, such as an inner voice, a gut feeling, or conscience; not dependent on any priests, or external influence.

There’s never a dull moment with Robert Sepehr

Amen 🙏
Best quotes from Thomas: "To learn my teachings, I must first teach you how to learn." "When you care for what is on the outside, what is inside cares for you." "When you doubt your powers, you give power to your doubts." "Until you master your rage, your rage will become your master."
And why am I wearing watermelon on my feet?
are there quotes like this in the bible?
@UserName Whatever. Not sure about the outside and inside, but agree about the rage. Nothing is so important for rage and hate to be and it is that which must be stamped out, conquered by love of self and others.. Nice name BTW🧡👍🏻
Sound like the lines from Mystery Men.
@@StrawberrySoul77 yes, because your agreement is what is required here... (i say sarcastically)
beyond that, I would say you should try living a little before making the sorts of proclamations you make
you talk like someone who has lived a typical sheltered life
or perhaps you are just very young
doesn't matter either way because you actually tip your hand as to the true reason you commented with that 'conquered by love of self' bit and here I am going to copy and paste from a comment a couple spots up: "Blinded by self-importance.......the visionaries of society haven't the vision of a blind musician nor the perception of a church mouse"
Now go back and try and understand what is meant by caring for what is on the outside. The fact that you don't understand it, admitted so, and then proceeded to post what you posted is why you have me in your face.
Oh Robert, my grandmother died today... 😢 I felt so lost, but to see you here again really makes me feel a little better ❤️
rest easy, your grandmother is with you just as God is with you. smiling, and in a happy place. Someday you'll see her again and embrace her as you once have done in the living. And there will be others there to greet you, and those before you will come eventually.
Rest your soul easily. be at peace, and smile. Breath the air that is part of God's great kingdom, and rejoice. :)
I dont normally talk like this, but after this video, I just feel so very enlightened xD hope it made you smile!
❤
Oh sweetie
My grandmother died on April 13. My condolences to you.
Rest in peace to your grandma
This basically eliminates the ‘Christian guilt’ used by the church to compel you to comply. I’m grateful that I watched this. SO many of us disregard this intrinsic knowledge of oneness with God and allow ourselves to feel desperate and alone. It’s a beautiful thing to know I’m basically sitting in the pocket of God. I’m NEVER alone, I’m just a very small piece of the Divine.
No wonder they left this out of the Bible, it contradicts the ‘follow the rules or else’ philosophy. It’s easier to make you follow the rules if you’re afraid.
Peace to everyone!
Be blessed 🙏❤️
As many a follower of Robert Sepehr's work, I have loved learning about the wide range of topics he delves into. He constantly challenges our previously held ideas and beliefs about what we have been taught about our collective human history. Personally, I find the Gospel of Thomas to be the most powerful and profound video that he has released to date. The threads of teachings by Jesus, Buddha and Krishna transcend time and space, intricately weaving together a rich tapestry of knowledge and wisdom that all of humanity can inherit and benefit from. Thank you, Robert.
The fact that this text survived is miraculous in itself
Suspicious?
@@sophiafake-virus2456 we should be suspicious, but definitely examine it.

Ohhhhh shiiiittt, I didn't see the other one!! Thanks!
Of course it could get better.
If he uploads more.
And a third on is dropping this evening!

Yes this is the truth. 🙏🇳🇿🙏
Holy crap! Peter Bolland was my World Religion teacher at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, CA back in 2006. He was one of my favorite teachers ever and would even meet with me out of class to discuss religion and spirituality on his own time. What amazing insights from him. Thanks, Robert!
Thank you , I wondered who the man was
Oh I lived right by there when I was little in the 80s. Went to tiffany for 2nd and 3rd grade and lived on Stanford ave in Bonita. My grandparents are buried in Bonita. Sister went to southwestern. You made me feel nostalgic by mentioning southwestern.
He had both knowledge and Gnosis.
You lucky, lucky duck!

My favourite!
This lost Gospel completely changed my life!
When I was 19 I had a few hours to kill and ended up in a library and found the Gospel of Thomas.
I had come to a cross road in my life and had to detach from the "church"
And reprogram my mind from doctrine so as to be able to accept the true teachings of Jesus.
I am so glad I found the quote.
" Only when you are true to yourself, only then will you become known to God."
It set me free on a wonderful journey into "knowing wisdom" rather than reading it.
Reverse engineering ancient syblold, into the past!
I've recently discovered your wonderful channel and enjoy devouring every episode I watch.
Thankyou so much for your passion and knowledge sharing. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I had to leave the church and find out the truth because church wasn't what I saw from a God who came and found me. Not a church
"I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
Isaac Newton
As someone who recently discovered this channel and binge watched and rewatched all content it's hard to explain how happy I get when I see a notification for new video. And it's covering something that interests me deeply...as usual. It's as if I could have skipped all the reading and armchair research I have been doing my entire life and just waited till youtube came to be and this channel was created. It covers literally everything I've read with plenty of gratifying gems of knowledge I had no idea about.
I remember when I found him....I felt the same way.
Atlantean Gardens is another channel of his. Seems to post more so on this one, but has some good stuff on that one as well.
I didn't know YT would come about but have always wanted truth.
I guess I could say, I waited. 🕊
I was not religious until I read the book of Thomas. This book stirred my soul, right to the root. Being partial native american it fit my life perfectly. We are all united...we are all the same.
We must protect Robert at all costs
I’m with you 1000%. 👍
We must secure the existence of Robert Sepher and a future for based anthropology.

Protect!

This was absolutely incredible. I'm sitting here just utterly in awe. I don't feel any sort of loyalty to a religion or institution and have a narrow openess meaning I won't easily attach to just anything but if something is thought provoking or prompts something within me I listen to the stirring inside myself. I could of watched for hours. This was truly moving thank you! So interesting.
Could HAVE watched for hours
I Would Pay good Money for this to be MUCH MUCH Longer !!!!
I am going to Watch over and over

The Gospel of Thomas is one of the reasons I stopped attending Church, reading it and the other Nag Hammadi Scriptures opened my eyes and helped me see.
Sorry to hear that.
you don't have to stop going unless it makes you feel uncomfortable. it is important to question everything even your own feelings
@@abyss5883 I’ve questioned since I was a child. Religion was weaponized to control me and to break my spirit. I want to know who I truly am.

Jesus spending the lost years in India seems even more likely in light of this Gospel of Thomas, which is even closer to the Upanishads than the parallels in the Bible.
This lost gospel takes a lot of power away from religions/priests/kings/leaders. No wonder it was hidden. Having come to Light, pray we might all grow in Spirit. Thank you.
Once you KNOW you realize we don't need prayer.
@@GodofLovers In one sense... your life is your prayer.
Takes away a lot from Jesus as well
TooLegit ToQuit Not really. It’s a different way of understanding life. Have you read any of the Talmud and it’s endless petty rules and focus on perversions? Once you read that you will understand Jesus revulsion of their laws which permit tremendous sin against most of humanity and especially children. Without that understanding you will not comprehend the necessity of obtaining morality and especially truth in a gnostic manner. Laws of man ultimately permit great evil. Get back to me after you’ve studied it.
Nobody can pay for your sins. It’s impossible. Redemption comes from within and is sparked by the awareness of the creator. Just living in a way that reflects the beauty and truth of unselfish love of our creator and love and nourishment of what he has given us is the true path. Following Jesus is more than worshipping him.
It wasn't hidden
What a great commentary on the Gospel of Thomas. I don't know how many times I've listened to it and read it, this guy really brings the ideas forth. I Love The Gospel of Thomas, and I wish we had more writings of Jesus like this. What an awesome messenger. Who is this guy by the way
Raised Catholic, I’m tearing now. This resonates with me so powerfully. Thank you. ❤️
Agree! Read fr Richard Rohr he's basically saying this and this guy (bearded one talking could be his twin.. Even the tone of their voices!) God bless 🙏❤️

Raised Catholic in Ireland but now I am a Heathen Pagan or what ever people decided to call it and a follower of the old gods of Ireland.

Running theme in the comments ...
I too Spoke about this gospel with my father. He has a doctorate in religious studies (college professor at a Christian lib art school) and is a Baptist minister.
It made for an eye opening conversation on both of our parts.
When I found this gospel in a library decades ago I was blown away and it lead me down a path of questions that were so fascinating. These questions led me to Roberts books.
Thank you for your work sir.
Waiting with baited breath to hear what you have to say about this interesting piece of writing!
Robert makes California look good. Really enjoy listening to him.
Your videos elevate mankind. You take information and present it in a factual way that doesn’t force an opinion or belief. This is rare on UA-cam. Thank you.
I’d recommend a book called ‘the war for the holy land, the last crusade’ - Thomas Asbridge amazing works of all literature from Christians(catholic’s) and from Islam with a non bias.
Totally agree!!
Glad you are still with us. Please don't quit.
Wow this week as a family gathering we watched the Passion of Christ (Mel Gibson) and it got me thinking about precisely a lot of the content in this video, how Jesus was so misunderstood how he still is so misunderstood. His light is real and we all can have it in our lives we just have to let it shine.
not misunderstood. The Romans used him and his followers to cement their power. What they created is am extremely shallow piece of what Jesus probably taught, because they were more interested in making sure they were the authority.
@@Xander1Sheridan the elite Roman's made a choice to sacrifice their state power to hold spiritual power over the people they had once governed. I wonder if with the power of foresight they would make the same choices
As a young child I never bought what the bible said or what I considered fantastical stories about Jesus who to me seemed a mere man with an incredible sense of self and lovingkindness. To put it forth thru the Gospel of Thomas for those of us open to the knowing and wisdom...incredible!!!
His miracles alone set Him apart from being a mere man! Clearly you just didn’t understand?
I’ve been waiting for long time for Robert to get into this gospel this is going to be epic as always
Same here ! It’s about time !
Me too! So excited!
@@raynarks seriously, how does he do it.?! :D
It isn't a gospel.
Excellent. I studied the Essenes when the Dead Sea Scrolls were first found & intuitively knew the Jesus portrayed in this lost gospel . Your work is so needed during these times. Thank you Robert.
Hidden knowledge has the element of danger..not knowing is ignorance...thank you Robert for enlightening us.
The wife and I were discussing Thomas just last night. Then; I had this Oasis song in my head this morning. So on the way to work I pulled it up on UA-cam and played it.
When it was finished this video was on the screen so I played it...

I don't think synchronicity has ever played such a big part in my life with what is going on. Thank you Robert
Thank you, no church no priest class. A personal relationship with God as an individual. Love!
No wonder why this book wasn't included. Mankind doesn't have discernment or wisdom to bear the responsibility of judgment.
I’m addicted to your videos, and I feel like this one you made exactly when I needed it most.
Thank you Robert
Many books were removed from the original Bible. Thank you Robert!
The very last verse of the Gospel of John says: "There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written." It's not that books were removed, it's simply that there were so many texts in existence that in order to compile "the Bible" as it is known now the Greeks had to make some choices. The Old Testament was already decided centuries beforehand, and the canonical New Testament books were chosen as such: They had to be traced back to one of the disciples of Jesus, they had to be written in Greek, and of course they made some arbitrary choices too. The Shepard of Hermas and the Diatesseron are some examples of ones that got left out probably because of the disciple issue, but you can still read them. The Gospel of Thomas seems to have been associated with followers of James (see saying #12), and it probably got left out because it was popular among Manicheans.
There was no bible. Only written down teachings. The bible was created by people of malicious intent.
@@GodofLovers lol
@@GodofLovers Agree!
@@GodofLoverswhy do people who say this kind of stuff always have the gayest most cringe profile pictures?
I've waited to hear some of your insights in to the Nag Hammadi Library. I found these writings 12yrs ago and to this day have at least 3 of these books at a time on my bedside every night trying to grasp the implications. I've been reading the Teachings of Silvanus as of late. Great book. Truth doesn't care about religion. Jesus says "few will enter" for a reason. While I do not agree entirely with the interpretation/reflections presented by the gentleman, I appreciate him sharing. Thanks for the upload. Always enjoy hearing your perspective.
This reminds me of an alternative viewpoint of WWII and Germany that has been made illegal to even discuss. If one applies consistent logic, then the violent suppression of either information could be evidence of its veracity.
I love seeing this thread! My husband and my kids think I’ve lost my mind. However I feel we’ve been led the wrong way.
We only know what history the “winners” want us to.
You are right... it has to be put forth as "fiction", like Phillip K. Dick's, "The high Castle"... travelling through dimensions, where one is run by 'The Fourth Reich", and one is "here", is more truth than fiction. I went "travelling" to explore this, no idea how this happened to me, and found out first hand what happens to those who try to expose it. We are in an illusion, a simulation.
@@sweet_pea1188 You haven't lost your mind, you are simply seeking the truth.
@@justinkennedy3004 exactly
@@justinkennedy3004 Who tells you to hate Germans?
I liked the point that theologians disagree but mystics all agree.
At the end of the day we will never know what Jesus actually said or taught, especially when we have different gospels and versions which have been edited and translated many times over history.
Been watching nothing but your videos for the past few days, I’m hooked. Great work!!
After watching many of your videos, I consider you as a brother in consciousness. Thank you for your work, and generosity.
“Jesus said: If they say to you: Whence have you come?, say to them: We have come from the light, the place where the light came into being of itself. It [established itself], and it revealed itself in their image. If they say to you: Who are you?, say: We are his sons, and we are the elect of the living Father. If they ask you: What is the sign of your Father in you?, say to them: It is movement and rest.”- Gospel of Thomas
Any writings that illustrate the 'human nature' of Jesus is condemned by the Church. His quite human love of his favorite disciple whom "he loved more than the others" and Leonardo painted in the Last Supper...Mary Magdalene. Jesus never said he was the 'Son of God'. That is strictly Church doctrine. He did say numerous times he was the 'son of man' however. And where was Jesus between the ages of 13 and 30? No accounting of him for those 17 'missing' years. He was not known as "The Great Traveler" for no reason. He learned his 'revolutionary ideas' from his sojourn to the East and India where he became known as 'The Great Traveler' only to communicate 'universal love' to everyone which made him some powerful enemies back in the Levant when he returned and met 'The Baptist'.
Im an eternal being in an electric universe guy and " movement and rest" pretty much sums it uo
@@popparedpill He wanted to distribute the realization of self by revealing the fundamental soup from which we all emerge.
@@gigantorize
That’s just an assertion your making , where are the written codex that say he was in India.
Aside from the account of Jesus’ birth and infancy, there is only one account in the Bible about his boyhood. That’s the time when the 12 year old Jesus was in the temple courts of Jerusalem amazing his teachers with his knowledge of the Scriptures. You can read about it in Luke 2:41-52. The account ends in an interesting way. God tells us that the boy Jesus did not remain in Jerusalem in the temple. Instead he was obedient to his earthly parents and went back with them to his hometown of Nazareth. There in Nazareth, from age 12 to 30, “Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.”
@@gigantorize Nice, I think one of the gospels refers to Him being called out of Egypt
I didn't watch this vid when it was fresh over a year ago. I watched it on my birthday and wow! What a fantastic little gift from Robert Sepehr and the other professor in the video! I've always contended that the Jesus' teachings have more to do with developing the innate abilities one posseses to forge our purpose in this realm of existence rather than to follow a strict doctrine as outlined by a rigid scripture and set of rules ordained by a clerical caste. I wonder where someone could find a solid translation of this insightful text.
The Holy Spirit burns in our Sacred Hearts like how the sun heats a stone. Even after the sun sets, the stone is still warm. God is certainly a separate entity. But that doesn't mean he's not inside of us at the same time. I worship my God; I glorify my God; and the divine in me honors the divine in you. May we all unite in Holy Love and Peace forever and ever.
We are all part of God. Nothing is separate from God.

I have been studying this text for years robert, thanks for revealing it publicly like this.
What is your biggest take personally from your studies at this juncture in life?
As a result of this video I now intend to read the Gospel of Thomas at least once as it seems to resonate strongly with my spirit and teachings regarding our perceptions of reality. Thanks.
Enjoy listening to all your unbiased and fearless efforts Robert, Thankyou. Was glad you put up the original txt of verse 70 before the mans explanation of it. It really highlights how so many teachings, although suttle, can become distorted,especially over time. It went from " If you dont bring forth what is within you" to "if you dont have within you"
I've always said you can't take life in without letting it out. It's wonderful to hear Christ said the same thing in different words. Lets me know I'm on the right track.
I love the way you start ad present your information. Fully appreciated.
My pastor hated me as a kid because I told him this gospel clearly made the most sense lol
As far as we know, the apostle Thomas never wrote a Gospel. The writing to which you refer is spurious and was composed by a member of a gnostic sect, probably in the late second century, which explains why it’s not in the Bible. It was discovered, along with many other writings, in 1946 near the village of Nag Hammadi in Egypt. Our version comes to us in Coptic, but there seems to have been a Greek original behind it.
The so-called Gospel of Thomas really isn’t a Gospel at all, but a collection of 114 sayings or logia attributed to Jesus. Approximately one-fourth of these sayings are the same as those found in the canonical Gospels. Of the remainder, some are very similar to those in our Gospels, but have been adapted for gnostic purposes. Others are completely gnostic in origin and form.
While the Gospel of Thomas purports to have been written by the apostle, there’s nothing to support this, and there’s a great deal that argues against it. To mention only one example (and this example applies to gnostic writings in general), the milieu is all wrong. The peculiar sayings attributed to Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas are, for the most part, light-years away from the kind of thing a Jewish rabbi would have said in the Palestine of A.D. 30. Contrast this with the very Jewish flavor of Jesus’ words found in the canonical Gospels.
For this reason alone, we’re forced to conclude that the Gospel of Thomas doesn’t compare with the canonical Gospels when it comes to telling us what Jesus really taught.
@@orionxtc1119 WOW....clearly this video didn't sit well with you. It is not in the bible because the bible was put together by men who clearly had an agenda. Just think how much money is made by religious organisations around the world. Religion is big business then as it is now! It is no different than Hollywood selling a dream and people being co-dependent on that dream. What happens when the dream is shattered by a mere mortal MAN i.e a preacher. Children who have been sexually abused by said preachers within all Christian denominations. Then those same preachers were FORGIVEN and allowed to continue working within the religious community. It is not just Christian communities this has happened but also Judaism and Islam. Religion is flawed because man is flawed and it is man who preaches a flawed religious mythology!
But make most sense. Most of the stuff we have nowadays it's strumentalized and heavily modified
if you bring forth what is in you
@@orionxtc1119 That's just it, Jesus was light years ahead of any Jewish rabbi around at that time, so it would be logical for him to sound out of place and time; being the son of god and all. " Contrast this with the very Jewish flavor of Jesus’ words found in the canonical Gospels " well I wonder why they sound so much a like when the canonical gospels were being regulated by the mainstream Christianity at that time. I would say the early church fathers missed the mark on what Jesus's vision for humanity and how one ought to live their life should be. This is what led to many of the reformations and schisms later on.
This one gospel touches me the most. Bless-ed Thomas. He gives 'doubt' a good name. Good on you Robert for being so careful, yet cogent and revealing.
Yay! I’m naming my future son Thomas due to my love/fascination with this gospel. So excited you’re doing a video on it.
My Dad’s name IS Thomas😁
Thomas 'Robert" Whitney?
If one had no concept of religion and had read the Bible, then the gospel of Thomas. There would be an obvious common sense choice because there wouldn't be years of indoctrinated pride, fear of rejection in their community, the illusion of separation, Exactly what the gospel of Thomas is saying to get rid of.
I’m so glad I found Sepehr’s channel! I’ve been binge watching everything you’ve done. I also bought 3 of your books❤️
Imagine the bloodshed that could have been prevented if this gospel was not suppressed by the church.
Agreed..we are all are apart of the "ONE".. YES

Robert I want to just say thank you for making this video.. This video will illuminate MANY who can hear it. I do not believe that God is late, and his ways are mysterious. It was no accident that this gospel was found when it was.
Maybe we where not ready for this msg until now.
So not only did the church exclude the Gospel of Thomas, they smear his reputation by calling him "doubting Thomas." Doubt is tantamount to being an infidel since it's all based on "faith." How interesting. Thank you Robert for bringing this forward.
By far my favorite of all your uploaded videos.
As ever the stellar work you put on the table for everyone to discove. You are a lost rare gem found in my life and other lives as well, so I say you are beloved by my house
Robert, a welcomed friend
indeed held nobly as a brother.
The cred is with Peter Boland for this vid! (He wasn't overly impressed his channel content was used, though im sure it earned him more followers)
At 63 now and raised in the Catholic Church by nuns, Marists and for a painfully brief time, Jesuits, I have had two amazing revelations in the past twenty years. The first was studying the teachings of Mary Magdalene. Christ gave Mary Magdalene a teaching that he did not give the other apostles. After Christ died, Mary told the other Apostles that Christ had revealed a message to her that He had not revealed to the others. They didn't believe her, but finally Peter told them to listen to her.
She said Christs message to her was not about Original sin or salvation or redemption or resurrection. She said His message to her was, 'teach others how to TEACH Enlightenment'. This is very much in line with the Gospel of Thomas. The modern day Churches have all strayed from the true teachings of Christ. All major religions have diminished the role of women as equals in teaching the Word of God. Therefore all major religions have been living a lie for centuries upon centuries.
The second revelation was just a few years ago. It had to do with God's Covenant to man. The First Covenant was the Ten Commandments. A strict code of behavior. More likely a set of guidelines that Moses was inspired to record to facilitate moving a large group of people through the desert peacefully without them killing each other. The Second Covenant was much more basic and much more universally relevant. It was not a strict code of 'thou shalt not'. It was simply the message of LOVE. The WORD is LOVE! The Living Christ is still very much among us.
Great job, Robert. Thank you.
Gospel of thomas 114 "Let mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life
I love the teachings in the Gospel of Thomas as I a do not adhere to religion but to great truths and the Gospel of Thomas is full of them! I am also delighted to see you back here (and twice in one week at that!). Missed you Robert, so glad you're back! Hugs
You are as foolish as one can be. You lack any discernment whatsoever and the Holy Spirit does not dwell within you.
Thank you for this! I’m finally connecting the dots and getting rid of the brainwashing they have done to us all. This makes so much more sense to me than trying to figure out the bible. I always saw so many contradictions throughout that book. Finally everything is coming together for me and I greatly appreciate you and your wisdom. 🥰❤️💕
There are no contradictions in the bible only your lack of understanding.
Have you ever tried studying the Bible and its "contradictions" more deeply and more attentively? So far, this has always helped me with passages that are difficult to understand
@@savedbychristsavedbygrace2049lmfao are your sure about that I can think of quite a few ill give you one how bout the open or closed tombs n the gospels theyre contradictions by definition
I guess that means your the one with the lack of understanding

Again when I am in a spot where I feel down or even discouraged your upload is always a wonderful reminder that my feelings are a choice and I find peace with your share of history a overwhelming thank you from Michigan
Excellent video Robert!
Peace, x & gratitude to All....
Thank you Robert, your videos always give me something to contemplate, reflect and meditate on.
The more I watch..the more my own personal knowledge seeking and destruction of false narratives are reinforced. You are a breath of fresh air in a world of lies brother. Thank you so much. I am sure those 3 extra words to Thomas were telling him he is realizing god within him. We ARE God. The creator and destroyer of all through imagination and focus within each of us. Knowing…is tough for others to comprehend and even harder for the knower to embrace.
This was amazing. Thanks for sharing. The quest for knowledge is the quest for enlightenment which is the path of ascension. Many blessings
I find this teaching remarkable. And that we are waking up to what Thomas was saying. I have been in the that mind frame since I heard the verse Split a peice of wood Iam there lift a rock and you will find me. Simple to understand but yet so deep that it changed my life. From being condemned to being set free. Excellent video and respect to the guys sharing this. Thank you. ❤
Research Gnosticism and thesis gospel. Thomas didn’t even write it kinda wack how they presenting this teaching. The dishonesty says it all for me
Looking forward to listening carefully to this one! Love from England 🏴
Thank you 🙏🏼, as an interfaith minister in our small but hardy Tree of Life Interfaith Temple (NH) you have reflected the Mystical teachings of Jesus, which we seek to know as that common spring from which each tradition has sprung forth. It took me many years to break the subconscious hold of my Christian narrowing (even though since my childhood I had felt the great expansive Oneness in Nature).now we turn, as the mystics did, to did to the conscious awareness of human nature
I was shocked when I found out about the Gospel of Thomas. Jesus teachings is so clear to me, I don't know why it's not in the bible.
how would i find to read? our little library is closed
This has been my understanding of Jesus, for all my life. I knew him in my heart and mind - this is who he was/is.
All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 Thank you for sharing the truth, you're one of my most watched channels. I could listen to the knowledge you share all day, literally. Thank you, may God bless you Robert 🙌
Thank you so much dear Robert Sepehr. May be a co-incidence that i was closereading the Gospel of Thomas translated in Dutch by Gilles Quispel. I was a student of the YungDrungBön Dzogchen teachings for more than 15 years. Than my Christian roots call me back. Founding the Russian Orthodox Saints and Clement of Alexandrië and a lot of more wonderfull churchteachers. But not finding a church. I was very confused about all this things. Peter Bolland explain it very very well. May be i am to wild animal for the Church because i love the Gospel of Thomas and all the beautifull text of the Nag Hamaddi Libry. Also the work of Wolfgang Smith is amazing. It is true we have to go inside and drink from the lips of Jesus Christ within us. Tankxxx dear brother Robert.
It’s an INNERstanding rather than an understanding. Beyond that, I have no words to offer. 😁
Many thanks for your work. 💜
Overstanding according to Peter tosh
THIS is my kind of Jesus. I've been saying for years he is more like a Buddha to me. We are ALL Jesus Christ. The kingdom of heaven is within EVERYONE.
PREACH 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
Jesus was Jesus and we are to rise to Christ consciousness. ❤❤❤
This is the closest to the truth about the original message I've heard to date. Bless you and your work, Robert. You are a mind opener😊💚
You are incredible, I love seeing how all religions converge into one. Only if people are as smart and knowledgeable as you, we wouldn’t have so much conflict in the world.
Thank you !!
The Gospel of Thomas is Spectacular. You can read it online for free. Great video Robert!
I regret Nietzsche didn't live long enough to experience and comment on this find. His beautiful guesstimate of the real character of Jesus in 'The Antichrist' resonates with this Gospel.
I bet this guy considers the day he read the gospel of Thomas to be the most significant greatest moment of his entire life, he seemed pretty excited about it.
this and apocryphon of John are some of my favorite texts. Thunder, Perfect Mind is amazing as well
Lovely rendition of don't look back in anger. One of my favorite to play. Fantastical
