In the canonical gospels, we’re told that Jesus met privately with his disciples to “explain everything”. Ever wondered what those teachings were? Teacher and author Keith Giles believes that the Gospel of Thomas could unveil these private teachings of Jesus. According to Keith, this gospel centres on non-duality and divine oneness, and might hold the key to addressing humanity’s greatest challenges.
Following the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on the saying of the Gospel of Thomas, and pondered what places they might have in their evolving faith.

QUOTES
“It seems that what Jesus is really wanting his disciples to understand in the Gospel of Thomas is that they are capable of having the exact same sort of epiphanies and realizations about the divine and about who they are; that it isn’t even so much about ‘who is Jesus?’ It’s about ‘who are you?’”
“Jesus is telling us: ‘There is no separation between us and God and no separation between us and one another – that is reality; that’s the way the universe really is.’”
“If the quantum field is everything and everything is the quantum field, a mystic or a theologian might say: ‘Christ is everything and everything is Christ,’ or ‘Christ is all and Christ is in all.’”
