God said to Jeremiah the prophet in the first chapter of the book of Jeremiah that he knew Jeremiah (consciousness) before he was in his mother's belly (body). God said to Jeremiah "Before I formed you in the womb I set you apart." (set apart from the one, from the whole) and God said, "You must go to everyone I send you to, and you will speak whatever I command you." God is telling Jeremiah that Jeremiah (consciousness) will go to "whom he is sent (body) and he will speak the words God commands him to (shared consciousness). God told Jeremiah that the words that come from Jeremiah's mouth belong to God (shared consciousness), Jeremiah said. "And the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth." and the Lord then said, "Do not be afraid of the looks on their faces for I am with you beside you."
Because the gospel of Thomas was only discovered in 1945. Adding a book to the Canon is a long & complicated process, especially as the Christian Bible is used by so many sects of Christianity - can you imagine the debate among the various churches and how many centuries it would drag on for? So instead it is an ‘extra-canonical text’ included in Codex II, accepted by some and rejected by others.
I have just pondered about John 1:1, and lo and behold, you provide such great context, thank you.
Thank you for being in touch Anna. Best wishes from Shanti Sadan.

Why is there so much emphasis on the " Gospel" of Thomas when this gospel isn't in the bible.
