Kabbalistic Principles in the Writings of Rav Yeshua Ha Notzi (Jesus)

10 06 2009

“…the kingdom is within you and it is outside you. When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are Sons of the living FatherKnow what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you…For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed… there is nothing covered up that will remain undisclosed…. When you are in the light, what will you do? On the day when you were one, you became two. But when you become two, what will you do…? There is light within a person of light, and it shines on the whole world. If it does not shine, it is dark. ….We have come from the light, from the place where the light came into being by itself, established [itself], and appeared in their image…. For this reason I say, if one is whole, one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness…It is impossible for a man to mount two horses or to stretch two bows. And it is impossible for a servant to serve two masters; otherwise, he will honor the one and treat the other contemptuously. No man drinks old wine and immediately desires to drink new wine. And new wine is not put into old wineskins, lest they burst; nor is old wine put into a new wineskin, lest it spoil it. An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment, because a tear would result…If two make peace with each other in this one house, they will say to the mountain, ‘Move Away,’ and it will move away.” – Rabbi Yeshua HaNotzi (Jesus), “Gospel of Thomas”

The Quotes of the Sayings of Rabbi Yeshua HaNotzi that expresses Kabbalistic principles, this is taken from the Gospel of Thomas, one of the text discovered at Nag Hammadi cave in the late 1940’s. Is this the proof that, Yeshua, mastered the Wisdom of Kabbalah?  These sayings  matched the teachings of Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag, if we examine it very carefully.

Rabbi Yeshua studied at the Sandherin school, and at the early age of 13, he began teaching the Torah at Synagogues and Congregations. That is why the Ecclesiatic authorities were amazed before and, others considered him as an heretic, kabbalah was tightly concealed in those times.

Some said that Rabbi Yeshua knew Rabbi Akiva, who was the teacher of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, is it then possible that Rabbi Yeshua made contacts with these great souls before?

Rabbi Yeshua was a Essenes, a group devoted into the Knowledge of Kabbalah. So it is really possible that he did study Kabbalah. But then, there were some people who would corrupt and distort the truth. It is really then they would do anything… to kill, just to distort the truth.
