P. 242
1. “Divided” consciousness, a.k.a. dualistic consciousness, is NOT JUST A sickness, but THE ROOT of ALL illnesses and forms of suffering, the “darkness” Jesus refers to in the Gospel of Thomas quote, above.
2. The integration of dualistic consciousness heals all illnesses and suffering, which arise from this state of divided consciousness.
Jesus further explained how this medicine works in the Gospel of Thomas, 22, (http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/thomas/gospelthomas22.html)
“When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside, and the outside like the inside, and the upper like the lower! And if you make the male and female one, so that the male is no longer male and the female no longer female, then you will enter [the Kingdom]!”
Consider that the Kingdom Jesus is referring to is not a place per se, but a state of consciousness, and the ancient medicine Jesus was explaining was using non-dualistic, esoteric wisdom from above (i.e., Higher Consciousness), which is without division, “undivided” (James, 3:17) to integrate the dualistic thinking that was called by Lao Tzu “a sickness.”
“But the wisdom that is from above is pure, filled with peace, meek and attentive, filled with love and good fruit,
without division and does not show partiality.”
- James 3:17 (https://biblehub.com/aramaic-plain-english/james/3.htm)
