I (Fr. Tony) messed up the audio for the video show, so this podcast covers all of that and more. The topic is the Gospel of Thomas logion 16: (16) Jesus said: Perhaps men think that I am come to cast peace upon the world; and they do not know that I am come to cast dissensions upon the earth, fire, sword, war. For there will be five who are in a house; three shall be against two and two against three, the father against the son and the son against the father, and they shall stand as solitaries.
Brenda Ingersoll ( Zoei )
My view is, the house is you,and the 5 would be your body,mind,emotions,intuitions-and your Self with a capital S. He’s describing the process of integrating all of the warring impulses in order to stand as one with the father- your Christ within. Jung, anyone? And certainly the process involves burning and cutting and conflict, no? It is the Bridal Chamber scene. So now-which 3, which 2? Your turn.
