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 018 of Thomas Gospel.

These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.

Gospel of Thomas Saying 18 - The end is where the beginning is.
The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be." Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death."

"Tell us how our end will be."
It is an error of duality to believe that existence itself moves or changes. Because, the immortal does not suffer change. This means, our experience of life with its duality and change is an experience in consciousness alone.

“Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end”?
The disciples need to understand what it is that will end. Are the disciples considering their form as being who they are? If so then they need to know where their form came from. If they already accept that they are not their form then again they still need to understand how they came into being.
To know how it will end they need to know what and how it began. To know what this is will include knowing its origins.

Before this creation time did not exist. Before this creation there never was a beginning therefore there never will be an end.
This universe had a beginning. Therefore, this universe can suffer change, it is mutable. That which is mutable and had a beginning must also have an end.
Before this universe was made manifest there existed only the eternal singularity of the Absolute.
At the end of this universe there will, once again, only remain the timeless singularity of the Absolute. The Absolute is without birth or cause, and is immutable, therefore without end or death.

The Absolute is all possible knowledge which forms absolute consciousness.
God is unknowable to us. But God can be known of because of eternal existence.
It has been explained that this existence is without beginning and is therefore timeless. This manifest universe and all it contains is enabled and supported through that Conscious knowledge.

This universe and all the forms it contains, when not made manifest, will still exist as Absolute timeless knowledge. Just as Jesus knew, the disciples and Jesus himself have always existed, timelessly without end, as Consciousness Absolute.
The eternal home of the disciples is with the unmoving Absolute. Regardless of their forms being manifest or unmanifest.

“For where the beginning is, there will the end be”
At the beginning or the manifestation of our life experience our true being was as Absolute Consciousness. After the return from being manifest this universe and all it contains will once again come to rest as Consciousness and knowledge Absolute.

“Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death."
Our place is in and as Absolute Consciousness and Knowledge. There can be the consciousness of a beginning and an ending but Consciousness Absolute itself is immortal. And "blessed" .
