Additional thoughts:
- The Gospel of Thomas - [re]assembled - is a cosmo-political text enabling mankind to liberate self from the old & existing paradigm: hierarchy
- Sayings #35 + #21.5-6 + #103 form a complete and cogent message:
"You yourselves, be ready against usurpers & plunderers.
Else, people will be usurped and planet will be plundered."
But, in fact, the 'one' % have been plundering
'the strong man's house': people+planet
“great wealth has come to occupy this poverty” #29
as people have been usurped:
> tied up (#35) - mentally
> intoxicated (#28)
