Thomas 1:108 … To drink from his Mouth (11/10/16)
“Whoever drinks from my Mouth will Become as I Am.”
~ Jesus (Gospel of Thomas 108)*
First & foremost, please realize that it is only possible to “drink from another’s mouth” while doing far more than merely listening to his or her words … Indeed, to “drink from the mouth” of a stranger is to listen to them as if they were God – to “drink from the mouth” of a lover is to strive to feel their pains and then honor their Soul’s deepest desires for Peace & Love – and to “drink from the mouth” of Jesus Christ (or any other Saint or Sage or Teacher) is to go forth and radically put his words into motion.
*(see also John 4:13-14, where Jesus says “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I give them will never be thirsty. For the water that I give becomes in them a spring gushing up to eternal life”)
