Mysticism & Gospel of Thomas – No. 23 – Awakening and Awakened
Verse - Awakening and Awakened
Jesus said, “I will choose you, one out of a thousand and two out of ten thousand, and they will stand by themselves.”
Comment
Solomon already speaks of his search for the awakened, of whom he found only one in a thousand. According to the Pastis Sophia, Christ answered Mary's question in a similar way: "I tell you, one in a thousand and two in ten thousand will be found," who have found perfection or the wisdom of the mysteries. Up to now, there has been one awakened person for every thousand unawakened and two awakened people for every ten thousand, and they are at odds with each other, slaves of duality, doubt and discord, the awakened are already on the way to oneness and the awakened are one.
This stands as one in knowledge and action. Today, the time of maturity, the awakening of the soul, has come closer for more and more people, although the awakened and awakened remain a minority. But this minority will prove more and more to be the elite of united humanity and the seedbed of the future human being, who sleeps the bridge from the earth to the universe and from the animal man to the spiritual man and further to the God-man.
