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 101 of Thomas Gospel.

 

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

 

Gospel of Thomas Saying 101 - Hate our family and love our true family.
"Whoever does not hate his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to me. And whoever does not love his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to me. For my mother [...], but my true mother gave me life."

"Whoever does not hate his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to me”.
Jesus has spoken before about the unreality of material forms. They consist of name and form only. Here, Jesus is raising our awareness of this unreality. All of this material world is ultimately undesirable.
The forms of his mother and father, the forms that Jesus would hug and kiss were going to die. But, their true being, that which Jesus truly loves, is immortal, and still resides as the singularity of consciousness as existence to this day.

“And whoever does not love his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to me”.
True love is divine love. This eternal existence is a singularity, that is, not a duality. The experiences of duality that seems to be our life is an experience in Absolute consciousness only.
We desired this experience but it necessitated a fall in our consciousness to make our experience seem a reality to us. In truth, in divine Absolute terms we are all one. We are all the one consciousness of many experiences.
When love is experienced in truth, it is the love for this divine singularity of all.
When one realises what Jesus knows and teaches, then true love is realised also.

“For my mother [...], but my true mother gave me life."
Although Jesus was born into this world by his mother. His consciousness of life has always existed as the knowledge and consciousness of the Absolute or God.
