The Gospel of Thomas (also known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) is extra to the canonical gospels in the New Testament of the bible. It was discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December 1945 among a group of books known as the Nag Hammadi library. Scholars speculate that the works were buried and hidden after the declaration of a strict canon of Christian scripture, where any works that were not selected for inclusion in the new testament were ordered to be destroyed. Scholars have proposed dates of composition as early as 60 AD and as late as 250 AD as a collection of sayings of Jesus.
Our Commentary on Verse 015 of Thomas Gospel.
These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.
Gospel of Thomas Saying 15 - One not born of woman.
Jesus said, "When you see one who was not born of woman, prostrate yourselves on your faces and worship him. That one is your father."
Jesus said, "When you see one who was not born of woman,”
The "one" is the Absolute or the father. Jesus does not tell us to worship any other.
Jesus is describing the nature of the Absolute.
The Absolute is timeless and immortal.
Immortal means being immutable, unchanging. Therefore, the "one" is without birth or beginning.
“prostrate yourselves on your faces and worship him.”
Jesus has just confirmed that this is the Absolute or father.
“That one is your father."
It is from this "one" the singularity of existence, that all things emanate.
There has only ever been "one" in timeless existence. This one is the total or absolute of all that is knowable.
Absolute knowledge forms absolute consciousness. Because, outside of this Absolute knowledge there can be nothing that is not known. That is, un-conscious.
Therefore the Absolute is the singularity of eternal existence. "One" alone.
The true nature of existence is Non-Dual.
