In the Gospel of Thomas, verse 56, we read, “Jesus said, “Whoever has come to understand the World has found only a corpse, and whoever has found a corpse is superior to the World.”
As has been interpreted by one who has ears to hear: “Jesus said, Whoever has come to understand the world (and how it hides the spiritual behind a fleshly façade) has found (only) a corpse (Tradition; poverty; the word without spiritual insight), and whoever has found a corpse (That the worldly images serves this function) is superior to the world (Not subject to its delusion).”
Even man’s logic would suggest a solution to the “corpse”; a discovery of spiritual insight that can only be found through the gift of Yahweh and the power of His Spirit of Truth. Seek and ye shall find.
