By contrast, consider the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas, 61,
(http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/thomas/gospelthomas61.html) whom many Biblical scholars believe was referring to a lost form of ancient medicine...yet, they do not know what this form of medicine was:
“It is I who come from that which is integrated [undivided]. I was given some of the things of my father. Therefore I say that such a person, once integrated, will become full of light; but such a person, once divided will become full of darkness.”
These words of Christ, from a distant culture, with little or no connection to China where, Lao Tzu lived more than 500 years prior to Jesus, clarify:
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]!”
