“The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be." 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." —Gospel of Thomas, Saying 18 This is particularly mysterious to the non-adept. No wonder mainstream Christianity doesn’t read this thing. He’s talking about the illusion of time. And how time is ultimately transcended with the inner realizations of presence, of detachment, of liberation.
