Wisdom code 15: Gospel of Thomas

WISDOM CODE 15:

If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.

USE:

A reminder that we harbour a force within us whose expression has the power to heal us, yet whose repression has the power to destroy us.

SOURCE:

The Gospel of Thomas, discovered in its complete form as part of Egypt’s Nag Hammadi Library in 1945.

The power of forgiveness is more than an academic exercise. It’s real. And it’s a power that has been proven time and again in the real world. The choice to love, and the forgiveness that is possible from love, is a common thread that weaves its way through the lives of those who have survived and transcended history’s atrocities. From today’s survivors of unspeakable horrors endured in the Nazi death camps between 1933 and 1945 to hostage negotiator Terry Waite’s living 1,763 days of captivity in the hands of Hezbollah extremists and Alison Botha’s miraculous survival following being left for dead after the brutal attack that is the subject of the 2016 documentary simply titled Alison, forgiveness is the key that has empowered these people, and others, to move forward with their lives after enduring horrors.
