The Gospel of Thomas in Haiku

The Gospel of Thomas claims to be a collection of sayings by Jesus recorded by Thomas Didymos. This early Christian text provides insight into the ancient oral traditions, and continues to inspire people today. This collection of sayings attributed to Jesus is one of fifty-two writings of the Nag Hammadi library discovered near Egypt, in December 1945. The first English translation was published in 1959. Now there are numerous English translations. Over a dozen of them were consulted to create this new haiku version.On Dr. David R. Hawkins' exponential scale of consciousness ranging from 1 to 1000, where 200 is the level of integrity, and 500 is the level of love, The Gospel of Thomas is calibrated to be at 660, making it one of those rare books that raises the consciousness of the reader. This book presents the entire high calibrating text of The Gospel of Thomas in fresh haiku poetry that is a pleasure to contemplate-whether or not the reader has a background in early Christian writings.For more options, please visit:www.uharriet.com
