Next, the Christian asked the Sage...
Is it possible I might accept the Formless and cease worshipping Jesus altogether? I don't want to lose him.
If you can find him, good; if you can't find him, good. Either way, you can't lose him.

where is
Jesus
where not
in the Gospel of Thomas...
lift the rock, I'm there
is this only Jesus
is not Christ
more
that Christ
is more
does not mean Jesus
is less
where
more and less
are in the Harmony
One does not make
two less
than One
two is two
too
the rock
is a rock
and not less
meaning the rock
is a buddha
not less
look deeply enough
into the Heart of Jesus
and you see lovers everywhere
look deeply enough
into the Smile of the Buddha
you see a world of buddhas
holding up the Mirror
what seen
this-and-that and
Everything-Wow!
