The Gospel of Thomas

Well the article is basically just a bunch of things that Jesus has said. On of my favorite things he said is "if you bring forth what is inside you, what you bring forth will save you. If you don't bring forth what is inside you, what you don't bring forth will destroy you." I found it very thoughtful. He is saying that if you do not explore yourself and that if you are not yourself then it kills you. Not literally, but its more of an emotion thing. Keeping things inside of you is very difficult and tend to slowly eat away at people until they snap. It is important for people to figure out who they are at an early age and stick to themselves. He also says something along the line of how people who choose solitude are more likely to find heaven. I think that is because people who choose solitude do not have the temptations of other peoples influences. Other people can strongly influence your choices if you let them, and therefore people who have chosen a life of solitude only have their own temptations.
