Cleave the wood - Gospel of Thomas, Ibn 'Arabi, Ashtavakra Gita - Twilight of the Archons Shorts

This is an aggregation of three very powerful spiritual texts, The Gospel of Thomas, Know Yourself: an explanation of the oneness of being by Ibn 'Arabi / Balyani and the Ashtavakra Gita. Three different traditions, Gnosticism, Sufism, and Advaita Vedanta all pointing in the same direction.

Text:
Gospel of Thomas

2. Jesus said, "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all.
77. Jesus says: "I am the light which is on them all. I am the All, and the All has gone out from me and the All has come back to me. Cleave the wood: I am there; lift the stone and thou shalt find me there!"

Know Yourself: an explanation of the oneness of being
Ibn 'Arabi, Balyani Translation by Cecilia Twinch

Praise belongs to God,
before whose oneness
there is no before ..
unless the before.. is ... He
and after whose singleness ..
there is no after
unless the after is ... He.

He is,
and there is not with Him any before or after,
above or below,
closeness or distance,
how or where or when,
time or moment or duration,
Manifested existence or place.

Ashtavakra Gita, translation by Thomas Byrom
Happy and bright,
He thrives in the world.
Weary of the vagaries of the mind,
He is at last composed.
He does not know or think,
Or hear or see.
Undistracted,
He does not meditate.
Unbound,
He does not seek freedom.
He sees the world,
But knows it is an illusion.
He lives like God

This is a section of the documentary, Twilight of the Archons, that got left on the editing floor, but I thought it was worth posting it as a short. The audio wasn't recorded in the studio or mixed professionally.
