Parables?

I found out that interpretation of the saying of Jesus from Gospel of Thomas very challenging as the sayings are full of riddles. However, I found out that the parables are constructed in a very clever way. I just want to share an interesting fact: The words are chosen with REASONS and sequences of ideas/phases are presented with REASONS too. When you see the BEAUTY of the construction of parables, then very likely you have interpreted the meaning of saying correctly revealing the TRUTH and BEAUTY of the sayings. Thanks to Tom for emphasing the Concept of Beauty from The Freedom of Choice. Oh thanks to M.Meyer for his very good translation. He has preserved the beauty of construction parables.

Do you realize how rare are people who can comprehend these parables?

Taking Action. What seems to be a difficult step, Tom, is taking action. Actually putting your level of understanding to the test is what you are obviously doing, and, I think, inspiring others to do as well. From what I have learned, there are three important aspects, keeping in mind that everyone´s unique. Not surprisingly, these 3 things are emphasised in The Book, they are: Meditation and Concentration, Living in accordance with Nature, and Helping Others. Each of these requires an interpretation in themselves, which you have kindly given us in you Freedom of Choice book. Thank you for helping me to understand that, no matter how much I think I know, none of it matters until I prove it to myself through action!
