The discovery of the ‘Hidden Gospels’ of Mary and Thomas are the subject of much controversy, but for me ‘Doubting Thomas’ provided a revolutionary thought that has stayed with me over the years, though at first I was not aware of where it came from.

“If you bring out that which is in you,

that which is in you will save you.

If you do not bring out that which is in you,

that which is in you will kill you.”

I make no claims for the accuracy of the quote, as there are several interpretations of it by different scholars, but the meaning is profound and one I empathize with.

As a human being, in order to develop, we must ‘bring out that which is in us’ – our talents if you like, our deep sense of who we are. If we don’t ‘bring that out’ then it festers, and dies. By not allowing ourselves to develop fully, then surely we ‘die’ as human beings, even if we are still walking around and functioning?

The big question here is what is your ‘saviour’: what talent of yours needs to be released into the world to bless yourself and others with? Perhaps easier to answer is ‘what are you not releasing’: what is the fear that holds you back from expressing your true, and authentic, nature?

While you nibble on an Easter egg, allow those thoughts to settle in and wait for the answers you need.
