Logion 8: Deeper

Yeshua says...

A true human being
can be compared to a wise fisherman
who casts his net into the sea
and draws it up from below full of small fish.
Hidden among them
is one large, exceptional fish
which he seizes immediately,
throwing back all the rest without a second thought.
Whoever has ears let them understand this.

Logion 9: Labyrinth

Yeshua says...

A farmer went out to plant,
scattering seed everywhere.
Some seeds fell on the surface of the road,
and the birds came and ate them.
Others fell on rocky ground
and could not take root in the earth,
and so never germinated.
Still other seed fell among the weeds and brambles,
which choked it out and insects devoured.
Some, however, fell onto fertile soil
which produced fruit of high quality,
yielding as much as sixty
and one-hundred and twenty percent.

Logion 10: Separation

Yeshua says...

See, I have sown fire into the cosmos,
and I shall guard it carefully until it blazes.

Logion 11: Freedom

Yeshua says...

The sky and all that lies in the dimensions above it
will cease to exist.

The dead know nothing of life, and the living will never die.

When you consume that which is already dead,
you are turning it back into life.
So, then, when you too re-emerge into the Light,
what will you do?

For on the day when you were created one,
you also became two,
but when you come to realize your twoness again,
what will you do?

Logion 12: Adrift

His students said,
"We know we cannot hold on to you,
so who will lead us then?

Yeshua said,

"Wherever it is that you find yourselves,
turn to James, one of the Just
for whom heaven and earth have come into being."

Logion 13: I Am

Yeshua asked his students,
"Tell me, then, who am I like?
To whom will you compare me?"

Simon Peter said,
"You are like a just angel."
Matthew said,
"You are a philosopher of wisdom."
Thomas said,
"Master, I cannot find words to express who you really are."

Yeshua said,
"Thomas, it is no longer necessary for me to be your Master
for you are drinking from the gushing spring
I have opened for you,
and you have become intoxicated."

Then Yeshua took Thomas aside
and spoke three sayings to him in private.
When Thomas returned to the company of his companions
they, of course, asked him,
"What did Yeshua say to you?"
"If I were to tell you
even one of the things he spoke to me," Thomas replied,
"you would pick up these rocks and stone me,
and then fire would blaze out of them and burn you."

Logion 14: The Path

Yeshua says...

If you fast
you will only be giving birth to sin in yourself.
If you pray,
your prayers will come back to haunt you.
If you give to charity,
you will create evil within your own spirit.

If, however, you travel through a region
and they welcome you,
eat whatever is put in front of you,
and heal their sick.
For it is not what goes into your mouth which contaminates you,
but what comes out of it.
