The YOGA of RADIANT PRESENCE revealed In THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS

The Gospel of Thomas, the apocryphal gospel discovered in a cave with the Nag Hammadi library in Egypt, is thought to be one of the earliest written gospels of Jesus. It has captivated seekers with its very direct and powerful sayings attributed to Jesus, many of which are completely unique to this gospel. In these sayings Jesus teaches his worldview and presents directions for his disciples to enter into it for themselves. He presents this in unelaborated language centered around symbolism that is difficult to understand, without the context that his disciples no doubt received from more personal contact with him. The Yoga of Radiant Presence revealed in the Gospel of Thomas presents a clear and available explanation of the teachings of Jesus from the gospel, revealing the gospel to be a manual of instruction in the path to realizing one's being to be the actual presence of God, the absolute, directly for oneself. Not surprisingly, the teaching of Jesus turns out to be consonant with the highest Yoga teachings of most traditions (e.g. Dzogchen, Kashmir Shaivism, Advaita, Chan, Taoism, etc.), since they all describe this same sole actual condition from their respective cultural viewpoints.Coming to understand what Jesus is referring to in your own experience enables you to know yourself to actually be the 'son of God' within the 'kingdom of heaven'; these notions are not vague idealistic metaphor, but are the literal truth, when rightly understood. Within this book this is made clear and available to the sincere reader.
