The Kingdom is inside You

The Kingdom is inside you,

and outside you.

When you know who you are

you will be known.

What you will know is that you are

children of an eternal father, mother, all that is.

If you do not know who you are

you live in poverty, you are poverty.

Know what’s right in front of you.

What’s hidden will be revealed.

There is nothing hidden that won’t be revealed.

Don’t speak deceitfully.

Don’t do what you would hate.

There is nothing hidden that won’t be revealed.

Where the beginning is, the end will be

Blessings on you who stand at the beginning.

You will know the end.

You will live forever.

The Gospel of Thomas
