🔥 Focus of the Week
This week, we uncover how the divine spark is buried beneath layers of distraction, fear, and illusion. These sayings remind us that the Kingdom is not something you wait for—it’s already here, if you can perceive it.
Another Layer of Light
📖 Readings: Gospel of Thomas – Sayings 5–8

Translation: Marvin Meyer
✨ Saying 5
“Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will be revealed to you. For there is nothing hidden that will not become manifest.”
🔹 Commentary: You don’t need new truth—you need new eyes. Gnosis is the process of unveiling what was already there. Illusions fall away when we look deeply.
✨ Saying 6
“His disciples questioned him and said, ‘Do you want us to fast? How should we pray? Should we give alms? What diet should we observe?’
Jesus said, ‘Do not lie, and do not do what you hate. For everything is revealed before heaven…’”
🔹 Commentary: Rituals matter less than authenticity. Thomas centers the spiritual path in inner integrity—not hollow religious acts.
✨ Saying 7
“Blessed is the lion that a human will eat, so that the lion becomes human. And cursed is the human whom a lion will eat, and the lion becomes human.”
🔹 Commentary: A cryptic metaphor for what consumes you. Will your base instincts devour you? Or will you consume them and be transformed?
✨ Saying 8
“The kingdom is like a wise fisherman… he threw out his net and pulled it up from the sea full of small fish. Among them, he found a fine large fish. He threw all the small fish back into the sea and chose the large fish without hesitation.”
🔹 Commentary: The Kingdom is not about quantity or popularity. It’s about depth—a single insight may be worth more than a hundred empty beliefs.
🌿 Ritual or Cannabis Practice: Seeing the Unseen
Ritual: Cannabis + Observation Walk
- Use a gentle cannabis dose (flower or tincture).
- Go for a slow walk, inside or outside.
- Notice: What have I walked past every day without seeing?
- Pause at anything that draws you—light, shadow, an object, a sound.
- Gently ask:
“What truth is hidden here?”
Bring one item or memory back and journal about it.
✍️ Reflection Prompts
- Where in my life am I performing rather than being real?
- What consumes most of my energy—fear, distraction, anger, or purpose?
- Have I ever caught a “big fish” insight? What changed after?
🌟 Affirmation of the Week
