Seeing the climate change, we need to change. The government is supporting solar energy, wind energy, electrification of cars and cooking, a circular economy, and that’s good! But this way we won’t get there. We need to go to a different economic system.

In the days of the solar king Louis XIV, his minister of finance, Colbert, had a system. The economy is a pie, each country has a slice, countries have to make war to make their slice of the pie grow. Now that system is outdated. We know that each country can grow and we can even benefit of the growth of other countries.

In the medieval times most people worked in agriculture. Since the industrial revolution this shifted to the cities and industry. But by mass production most workers now work in the services, like offices, tourism, entertainment etc. The services are the sector that’s the most usefull for our wealth and society. When agriculture and industry aren’t so important anymore economically and socially, we must not try to grow as much as we can in agricultural production, but produce in such a way that it’s sustainable. We must not try to grow as much as we can with our industry, we must make it circular and supportive for the services. 

You can make big profits by services, it's more dynamic. For mining and industry you need to grow in infrastructure, that needs big investments and takes time. Growth in the services is human action, it booms easily. Growth in industry and mining is a heavy burden on the planet. Already since the 1970’s we know there’s borders to growth. Our planet can’t bear it.

If we don’t change our economic way of thinking, we will be forced  to change our way of thinking and acting by disaster. It’s up to politics to make unpleasant necessary decisions.

WE MUST FOCUS ON A SERVICES ECONOMY AND CIRCULAR PRODUCTION IF WE WANT TO SURVIVE!

 

Gospel of Thomas, my new reordering/summary of non-theological, but psychological/practicle logions. (see infopage 21-7 14:02)   

i follow the text, but to some texts i add others. i made a real beginning to it, and put the original beginning at the end, as invitation.

Jesus wasn't understood or not followed. People, demons, expected the son of David and wanted to help him cast out the Romans.

there is a white line between the words of Jesus, that means a silence, longer or just a line. There's 7 screens with words of Jesus.

After the Gospel of Thomas the Sentences of Sextus ,Nag Hammadi XII,), possibly of Jesus in His youth, dictating to a Roman scribe.

 

scr. 1. 4) Jesus said, "The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life, and he will live. For many who are first will become last, and they will become one and the same."

(22) Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, "These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom." They said to him, "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?" Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom."

(76) Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a merchant who had a consignment of merchandise and who discovered a pearl. That merchant was shrewd. He sold the merchandise and bought the pearl alone for himself. You too, seek his unfailing and enduring treasure where no moth comes near to devour and no worm destroys."

(98) Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a certain man who wanted to kill a powerful man. In his own house he drew his sword and stuck it into the wall in order to find out whether his hand could carry through. Then he slew the powerful man."

(103) Jesus said, "Fortunate is the man who knows where the brigands will enter, so that he may get up, muster his domain, and arm himself before they invade."

21b)You, then, be on your guard against the world. Arm yourselves with great strength lest the robbers find a way to come to you, for the difficulty which you expect will (surely) materialize. Let there be among you a man of understanding. When the grain ripened, he came quickly with his sickle in his hand and reaped it. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."

 

scr. 2. (5) Jesus said, "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you. For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest."

3b)When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."

(7) Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man; and cursed is the man whom the lion consumes, and the lion becomes man."

(70) Jesus said, "That which you have will save you if you bring it forth from yourselves. That which you do not have within you will kill you if you do not have it within you."

11b)In the days when you consumed what is dead, you made it what is alive. When you come to dwell in the light, what will you do?

On the day when you were one you became two. But when you become two, what will you do?"

(15) Jesus said, "When you see one who was not born of woman, prostrate yourselves on your faces and worship him. That one is your father."

(17) Jesus said, "I shall give you what no eye has seen and what no ear has heard and what no hand has touched and what has never occurred to the human mind."

(19) Jesus said, "Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being. If you become my disciples and listen to my words, these stones will minister to you.

 

scr. 3. 24b)He said to them, "Whoever has ears, let him hear. There is light within a man of light, and he lights up the whole world. If he does not shine, he is darkness."

(28) Jesus said, "I took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to them in flesh. I found all of them intoxicated; I found none of them thirsty. And my soul became afflicted for the sons of men, because they are blind in their hearts and do not have sight; for empty they came into the world, and empty too they seek to leave the world. But for the moment they are intoxicated. When they shake off their wine, then they will repent."

37b)esus said, "When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the son of the living one, and you will not be afraid"

(41) Jesus said, "Whoever has something in his hand will receive more, and whoever has nothing will be deprived of even the little he has."

(40) Jesus said, "A grapevine has been planted outside of the father, but being unsound, it will be pulled up by its roots and destroyed."

(42) Jesus said, "Become passers-by."

(58) Jesus said, "Blessed is the man who has suffered and found life."

(74) He said, "O Lord, there are many around the drinking trough, but there is nothing in the cistern."

(75) Jesus said, "Many are standing at the door, but it is the solitary who will enter the bridal chamber."

 

scr. 4. (81) Jesus said, "Let him who has grown rich be king, and let him who possesses power renounce it."

(45) Jesus said, "Grapes are not harvested from thorns, nor are figs gathered from thistles, for they do not produce fruit. A good man brings forth good from his storehouse; an evil man brings forth evil things from his evil storehouse, which is in his heart, and says evil things. For out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil things."

(47) Jesus said, "It is impossible for a man to mount two horses or to stretch two bows. And it is impossible for a servant to serve two masters; otherwise, he will honor the one and treat the other contemptuously.

(106) Jesus said, "When you make the two one, you will become the sons of man, and when you say, 'Mountain, move away,' it will move away."

(114) Simon Peter said to him, "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life." Jesus said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven."

(48) Jesus said, "If two make peace with each other in this one house, they will say to the mountain, 'Move Away,' and it will move away."

(50) Jesus said, "If they say to you, 'Where did you come from?', say to them, 'We came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord and established itself and became manifest through their image.'

If they ask you, 'What is the sign of your father in you?', say to them, 'It is movement and repose.'"

 

scr. 5. (53) His disciples said to him, "Is circumcision beneficial or not?" He said to them, "If it were beneficial, their father would beget them already circumcised from their mother. Rather, the true circumcision in spirit has become completely profitable."

(56) Jesus said, "Whoever has come to understand the world has found (only) a corpse, and whoever has found a corpse is superior to the world."

(60) a Samaritan carrying a lamb on his way to Judea. He said to his disciples, "That man is round about the lamb." They said to him, "So that he may kill it and eat it." He said to them, "While it is alive, he will not eat it, but only when he has killed it and it has become a corpse." They said to him, "He cannot do so otherwise." He said to them, "You too, look for a place for yourself within repose, lest you become a corpse and be eaten."

(80) Jesus said, "He who has recognized the world has found the body, but he who has found the body is superior to the world."

(87) Jesus said, "Wretched is the body that is dependant upon a body, and wretched is the soul that is dependent on these two."

(112) Jesus said, "Woe to the flesh that depends on the soul; woe to the soul that depends on the flesh."

(61) Jesus said, "Two will rest on a bed: the one will die, and the other will live." Salome said, "Who are you, man, that you ... have come up on my couch and eaten from my table?" Jesus said to her, "I am he who exists from the undivided. I was given some of the things of my father." <...> "I am your disciple.""Therefore I say, if he is destroyed, he will be filled with light, but if he is divided, he will be filled with darkness."

 

scr. 6. (84) Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But when you see your images which came into being before you, and which neither die not become manifest, how much you will have to bear!

(83) Jesus said, "The images are manifest to man, but the light in them remains concealed in the image of the light of the father. He will become manifest, but his image will remain concealed by his light."

(43) His disciples said to him, "Who are you, that you should say these things to us?" "You do not realize who I am from what I say to you, but you have become like the Jews, for they (either) love the tree and hate its fruit (or) love the fruit and hate the tree."

(102) Jesus said, "Woe to the pharisees, for they are like a dog sleeping in the manger of oxen, for neither does he eat nor does he let the oxen eat."

(39) Jesus said, "The pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis) and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves."

(110) Jesus said, "Whoever finds the world and becomes rich, let him renounce the world."

 

scr. 7. (113) His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?"."It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it."

(3a) Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you.

18b)Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death.

(2) Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All."

(94) Jesus said, "He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in."

(111) Jesus said, "The heavens and the earth will be rolled up in your presence. And the one who lives from the living one will not see death." Does not Jesus say, "Whoever finds himself is superior to the world?" 

(1)he said, "Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death                                                                         

THE GOSPEL OF JUDAS DIDIMUS THOMAS

 

the people expected a king like David, but Jesus wanted a universal family. We break that by sin, we are divided in endless duality.

Jesus tells us about the Kingdom, it is the Father's from the beginning. Who fulfills His will, love, will be helped protected, blessed.

We excist in Him by Him. Before duality of man and woman there was no difference, all angels. Jesus was the first angel to excist.

Duality of man and woman is there to have no end to human excistence. There is a material reality, the body of God the AllSoul.

Jesus wants us to share His position and points out the way. But we aren't forced, as long as we act to others like universal family.

There's a family of life, excisting before us, plants and animals. We are the gods of this Earth making light, giving water, arranging.

Jesus didn't want to be their king if they didn't want to act to all other people like children of God. If they would do so He's their king
