Who are we truly?
Why are we here?
What is the purpose of this insanity that we call life?
These essential questions were once put to the man known as the apostle Thomas. Remembered as the “doubter” because he stated that he did not believe in the resurrected Christ and was apparently the last disciple to come to know Jesus after the crucifixion. He was famous for stating that he would not believe his friends until he met Jesus and stuck a finger in his wounds.
As the testimony of John tells us, Christ came to the disciples on the first day of the week after His Crucifixion, standing among them in a locked room as they huddled in fear for their own lives. Showing them his wounds, He blessed them and told them all to forgive. The only apostle who was absent was Thomas and when he was told of the miracle that had transpired, he was incredulous.
Over one week later, the group was still hiding behind closed doors. This time, with Thomas present, Christ Jesus once again appeared and specifically greeting him, showing his wounds, and asking him to inspect their authenticity. Realizing the gravity of the situation, an astounded Thomas did not act upon his previously stated intention. In an instant, Thomas understood the veracity of the truth that was standing before him.
To modern ears at the end of a dying Age, this story sounds incredible, leaving even those who claim to have faith skeptical as to whether it did or did not happen. This is so because consciousness has shifted as the Piscean timeline progressed. At the end of the story Jesus tells Thomas, because you see me, you believe. Blessed are those who have not seen yet believe.
In the past, that statement may have been true, but I would suggest that it is no longer valid to believe in anything, in the sense of taking someone else’s word for it. It is this conditioned state of belief and its reflexive assumptions that has led many down the current road to perdition. Let me be clear, I am not talking about faith, but belief. There is a difference. The former can (and must) become a vehicle to truth while the latter is the results of programming by the Shadow’s archons and minions as a method of enslavement.
The entire matrix of control is based upon a belief in the distortions that are not only sold as truth but are inherent to many people’s current state of waking consciousness. These deceptions are told to us by people who we have placed faith within their trust, appealing to conditioned reasoning and/or fear. Like a snake charmer, causing the faithful obedient believers to dance to a discordant rhythm to their distorted tunes.
Perhaps the most prominent message being the one where the answer to all your queries, along with unlimited health and prosperity, is just around the corner if you just have faith in their leadership and believe that it will happen. This is the overwhelming message of the “New Age” movement that treats honest seekers of truth as children that it still intends to entrap. Regardless of the source where any information comes from (or its intention) it is critical to understand that authority resides solely within the individual and nowhere else. Placing your faith in anything outside of yourself links believers in a daisy chain that is led by a phantom into a state of oblivion.
In truth, the universe can work with us when we come to realize that it is a reflection of our own consciousness. Yet to understand the power and authority that resides within us, we must be awakened to it. This is the reason for the trauma and deception that we experience in this world. To awaken us to our higher nature.
For a soul who is seeking the truth beyond programming, they can no longer come to believe in the Shadow’s lies. In doing so, the archons are shaken to the core as the skeptical soul loses their faith in the system’s influencers. What remains essential to understand is that within the Shadow’s matrix, we must place our faith within a vehicle that will reveal the truth. The archons know this and understand that their games of deception only have a specific life to them.
What we are seeing now is the death of worn-out paradigms with other egotistical constructs that are leapfrogging over the old ones that are failing. This scam always succeeds when faith is entrusted within the new narrative which is just the second side of the album. We are trapped in a cave and must find a way out if we care to know the truth and live our life in freedom. By design, if we care to escape this never-ending scenario, we must ascend our awareness and place our faith within a process that will lead to Gnosis. The only viable pathway that we have is the one that exists within ourselves. This takes place when we discover the rhythm of a higher melody accessed in union with the higher elements of self. We can sense how this happens within the experience of others who have come to Gnosis.
Regardless of mythology, the resurrected Christ (in union with the soul) is a mirror of the Higher Self. This is what Thomas recognized and why he did not follow through with his previously stated intentions. It is the same reason why Pilate would not condemn Jesus. In both instances, without any words they recognized the higher truth standing before them.
Thomas is considered the first modern disciple, and I would suggest that what he taught is most appropriate for us as we enter the Aquarian timeline. Thomas is associated with an independent empiricism that becomes the basis of our sovereign resurrection. He was known as Didymus (which means twin) and Judas Didymus (which means the praised twin). He was also credited with scriptural authorship, including the most widely recognized “Gospel of Thomas” which in more heretical factions is viewed as an additional book of the New Testament.
In Thomas’s testimony, Jesus asks the disciples who he was to them. Only Thomas could read the question deeply enough and stated that he could not convey what he was thinking in front of the others. Jesus then takes Thomas away from the group and states something mysterious and of great value that was not written or divulged the rest of the apostles. We are told that it was three things, probably words, which can be surmised as “We are One” or “We are Twins.” This became the basis of the twin tradition of Gnostic practice which is its greatest mystery that has always been hiding in plain sight.
To recognize Christ for who He truly was/is transcends time, becoming an essential process of acknowledging that same truth within yourself. It is the revelation of this twin relationship that empowers the individual. Outside of this bond we would not have the fortitude to stand successfully against the Shadow’s authority. Nor would we have the intelligence, wisdom, and insight to do so.
Eventually, Thomas left Jerusalem, traveling to India and establishing several churches that became the Syrian Christians of India (commonly referred to as the St. Thomas Christians). Tradition holds that it was Thomas who established a more mystical form of Christianity in the part of the world east of the Euphrates encompassing the land from Upper Mesopotamia (parts of Iraq, Syria, and Turkey) to India.
A record of his odyssey was noted in a work known as “The Acts of Thomas” which does not exist in its original form and probably was embellished throughout the years. The work is considered a romance, meaning a mysterious, passionate account of the life of Thomas based upon historical facts and the mythology that enshrouds it. The work was originally written in Greek and translated into Syriac. The oldest copy that is known to have survive is thought to be a re-translation back into Greek. The only part of this writing that is considered original is the martyrdom of Thomas where the poem, known as the Song of the Soul, Hymn of the Pearl, or Robe of Glory was inserted. This work was inspired by the oral history of the apostle, the events of his life, and his mystical teachings that were authored by someone else.
That someone else is thought to be Bardaisan, Syrian, Gnostic poet, and scholar who lived after the death of Thomas. The commencement of the Piscean Age was a time of great transformation and the emergence of many mystery schools. Much happened in the East after Thomas arrived, not just as an emissary, but as a soul that resonated with the power of I AM in Christed awareness. The further away from the crucifixion event of Jesus, the more meaning “Blessed are those who did not see but believe” as Thomas set out to cast holy fire upon the world.
Traveling to the East can be a metaphor for spiritual initiation as the Sun (which represents the Logos) emerges from that direction. The West represents what we have learned from our material existence through linear temporal experience and empirical reasoning. Despite trying, we can never go back to the point where the gods/God disseminated the truth to us, and we faithfully obey like in the previous Age were belief mattered. This cannot happen to a modern human simply because we have been through too much deception and the tragic fallout that it entailed and are currently living through. What must occur before entering the Aquarian timeline is balancing the wisdom of the Eastern traditions with the knowledge of the Western world. That was the whole point of the Piscean experience. It is the halfway point between these truths where Christ Consciousness exists.
Throughout the tragedies that we have all experienced over the last Age (struggling to live in truth) we have all been crucified many times over. This existential fact unquestionably binds us not only to Christ, but to the entirety of life itself on this lower dimensional earth. The common denominator to this plane of existence is the death of the physical body. This can be viewed as a garment that we wear for a time that must be discarded as we transform ourselves into a rarified state of being.
In Thomas tradition, the Pearl Hymn reveals that we are children of noble linage born into forgetfulness through the circumstances that the Shadow world literally feeds us. In virtually every instance, the soul will continue deeper along that path of darkness until it is reminded of its true origins. We are triggered by a messenger, which is an eagle that carries a letter from our divine parents, reminding us that we came into this world to find a pearl guarded by a dragon, and to bring it back to the place from which you came.
Upon completing this essential task, we ascend into a kingdom from where we came from and are given a new robe to wear, one that is unique to ourselves and alive with Gnosis. In the presence of the King, the robe is placed upon us that fits perfectly, like a second body. It is what some may call the light body that embraces and transfigures the soul into its exalted and natural state. When experienced, it will be viewed as an ordination and is the living manifestation of our individuated authority and personal sovereignty.
Final Thoughts
As the teaching of Thomas tells us, all of us will continue to descend into the darkness when given a steady diet of conflict, hardships, disappointments, manipulation, and lies. In the Shadow’s realm, we naturally follow the patterns of behavior that keep us perpetually enslaved. We do this because we forgot who we are and where we came from.
Some may say that it is not our fault because we have been veiled from the truth. Others may say that it is because we gave our consent to have an earthly experience. It is the truth of our life’s lesson that is the pearl that we seek. This must be attained through hardship but as in the Song of the Pearl, it is acquired not by slaying the dragon, but by lulling it to sleep singing the truth of your own divinity in its ear.
The dragon is adversarial to ignorance and confrontation but is charmed by a being that manifests true spiritual authority. In the end, it is the dragon that reflects the power of the hidden self. We cannot destroy its energy because it is eternal. When one is slain, another more ferocious takes its place. This can only end when we learn to harness the power of the dragon within ourselves because, like Christ, it is part of us. This is true sovereignty as only a god in I AM consciousness commands the dragon.
Although many would still disagree, the universe is exceedingly fair. This means that we must be told the truth, which will be as powerful as the engraved message delivered by an eagle from our divine parents. This is the essence of the event that many people anticipate happening very soon.
Despite the anticipation, anyone who can come close to understanding the teachings of Thomas and the twin tradition has already received the message. Through many life experiences in seeking the truth we are bound by these spiritual traditions. It is no longer appropriate in the Aquarian Age to seek the truth in the churches of men that are constructed upon belief.
It is the inner sanctum of the soul where the truth resides. Those who are prepared shall receive their truth and will manifest it out into the world through their own divine authority as apostles and disciples in I AM/Christed Awareness.
In Good Faith,
Peace.

John 20:19-29:
“It was the first day of the week, and that very evening, while the disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them. “Peace be with you! After He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you. When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld. Now Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands, and put my finger where the nails have been, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe. Eight days later, His disciples were once again inside with the doors locked, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you. Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe. Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God! Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
The Gospel of Thomas (13):
“Jesus said to his disciples, “Compare me to something and tell me what I am like.”
Simon Peter said to him, “You are like a just messenger.”
Matthew said to him, “You are like a wise philosopher.”
Thomas said to him, “Teacher, my mouth is utterly unable to say what you are like.”
Jesus said, “I am not your teacher. Because you have drunk, you have become intoxicated from the bubbling spring that I have tended.”
And he took him, and withdrew, and spoke three sayings [words] to him. When Thomas came back to his friends they asked him, “What did Jesus say to you?”
Thomas said to them, “If I tell you one of the sayings he spoke to me, you will pick up rocks and stone me, and fire will come from the rocks and devour you.”

The Gnostic Apostle Thomas: The “Twin” of Jesus, Thomas and Edessa: Jesus-Abgar Correspondence, http://www.gnosis.org/thomasbook/ch14.html
“According to Eusebius’s account, King Abgar sent a letter to “Jesus, the good Deliverer,” saying that he had heard of the cures he had wrought, without medicine or herbs, and had concluded that Jesus was either God or the son of God: “I have written to request that you would trouble yourself to come to me, and cure this disease which I have; for I have also heard that the Jews murmur against you, and wish to do you harm. But I have a city, small and beautiful, which is enough for two.”
Jesus replied:
Blessed are you who believed in me, not having seen me. . . . Now concerning what you wrote to me, I must first complete here all for which I was sent, and after thus completing it be taken up to Him who sent me, and when I have been taken up I will send one of my disciples to heal your suffering and give life to you and those with you.
After the earthly career of Jesus ended, Eusebius continues, “Judas who was also Thomas” sent Thaddeus (in Syriac, Addai), one of the seventy disciples, to Edessa. (The Syriac list of the Seventy — or Seventy-two — is different from the lists known in western Christendom.) He began making miraculous cures and Abgar realized that he must be the emissary promised by Jesus. The king told him that he believed in Jesus. Addai worked cures on the king and others, and converted many.”
