Compare these wit the experience of Paul in 2Corinthians 12:2-3. I was plesantly surprised reading the Gospel of Thomas, “the kingdom of God is within you and is ouside you”.

I think people in general are against truths. Maybe truth is frightening. Maybe they feel it threatens their continuity as a person. Why is it so? Why they feel themselves threatened? I think denial and repression are dangerous. Truth will be very shocking to people; - the more they deny, the greater the shock will be. A person should be able to take a little excitement, some change, something new and creative. But this goes against the ego. And when people have to choose between the truth and the ego, which will win? They harden their ego with steel armour. It is very sad. Jukka Hi Rolf,
