the human Jesus

Another thing about these titles of Jesus, and this time its in the cannonized texts. Mathew quotes Jesus as saying,"lessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the sons of God" Mat 5:9. Why does Jesus list these at the end of a whole group of those who will receive divine blessing, if he did not mean that they too, like him, are sons of God. This seems to concur with Thomas when he says that the light that existed before the world exists in us all. This light, is the "original face" in Buddhism, the pure state that has only been covered up with confusion and lies, with imperfect human traits.
This view of Jesus as a man encouraging people to look within themselves instead of any establishment or church is supported in the other gospels too. It is also supported by Sexson's claim that Jesus' parables go against conventional wisdom, effectively pissing of the establishment of the time. Think of the disciples who crush grain in their hands to eat on the way to a sermon -on the sabbath. When the Pharisees say that this is impermissable, Jesus replies that "that sabbath was made for man not man for the sabbath" (Mark 2:27)
This also seems to imply that humanity's purpose is not to observe the commandments, Plotts notes several figures like Jacob who are given God's blessing despite being lecherous thieving assholes, but that the commandments were given to help show man the most beautiful and rewarding way to live -akin to the eightfold noble path one must follow in Buddhism if they hope to become enlightened.
Such understanding is crucial to the meaning of Thomas' gospel.
Pagels says that the word Thomas means 'twin', and that this is significant because when Jesus calls him his twin he is saying that the inner light is capable of bringing him onto the same plane as Jesus(Pagels 57). "I am not your master" Jesus tells Thomas, "because you have drunk, nd have become drunk from the same stream which I measured out" (Pagels 47).
And just what happens when we become like Christ? We behold the kingdom of heaven -paradise. In another passage of Thomas the disciples ask where the kingdom of heaven is and Jesus replies: "It will not come by waitin g for it... rather the kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and people do not see it" (50).
It isnt the world that is impure, but our own organs of perception, which sometimes caste filth, envy, disgust and hatred upon a beautiful landsacape that only requires our acknowledgment, our blessing.
So why would someone supress Thomas and revere John? Why would someone prefer an untouchable, distant God who only once came to the earth so that we might have a nice place to live after death, instead of here and now?
To me, the answer is obvious: control. Since the dawn of time emperors and those who seek earthly power have exalted themselves to the level of gods so that their tyranny might never be questioned -John's assertion that we must submit our logic to the tennants of the church, BELIEVE, instead of KNOW. And why place heaven beyond the grave, behind the clouds where man cannot see it? So that those who suffer under this tyranny might have some comfort that maybe, if they never question, never ask for freedom, just maybe, they might be allowed peace in the hereafter.
Is anybody else pissed off yet?
