All Biblical insights lead to nondual Self-awareness. Self-Awareness is Christ consciousness. The ultimate truth or Braham in the biblical sense is the Spirit, which is God in truth. The truth was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few.
John 8:32:~ You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Jesus said:~ "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. (The Gospel of Thomas- saying 5)
It means one has to know the world which confronts him confronts to realize his body and world are made of the same essence and that essence is Spirit (father).
Even Sage Sankara says:~ one must first know what is before him. If he cannot know that, what else can he know or understand? If he gives up the external world in his inquiry, he cannot get the whole truth.
VC- 63- Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.
Sage Sankara says ~VC-65- As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it, and (finally) grasping, but never come out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.
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." (Gospel of Thomas 2)
"The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you, Not in a mansion of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and God is there, Lift a stone and you will find God." (Gospel of Thomas)
1. According to the New Testament:~Jesus said to his disciples: ‘To you, it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others, they are in parables so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand (Luke, 8:10). While speaking to the multitude in a veiled manner, ‘privately to his own disciples he explained everything (Mark, 4:34), and advised them not to ‘throw your pearls before swine (Matthew, 7:6).
2. According to Clement of Alexandria (150-215 CE):~ ‘Mark’ preached three different gospels. The New Testament version was intended for ‘beginners’, but there was also a Secret Gospel of Mark for those who were ‘perfected’, i.e. initiated. Clement advised one of his students that the existence of this secret gospel should be denied ‘even under oath’, for ‘the light of the truth should be hidden from those who are mentally blind’. The third gospel was so mystical that it was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few. (JM 120-1).
3 The fragments that remain of The Secret Gospel of Mark include an account of Jesus raising a young man from the dead, which may be an early version of the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead in John’s Gospel. In the Secret Gospel, the risen young man is then initiated by Jesus, who ‘taught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God. This indicates that for the gnostics, being raised from the dead is an allegory for spiritual rebirth through initiation.
--
When the seeker indulges in deeper self-search then he realizes the fact that the experience of the form, time, and space are one in essence. And that essence is Spirit or consciousness. Thus, form, time, and space are merely an illusion created out of a single, stuff, which is Spirit or consciousness. The Spirit or consciousness is the innermost self. The Spirit or consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
