By the way, The Gospel of Thomas is a very good book to read in that it illustrates Jesus' teachings on opening our awareness, or "Seeing".
You might call it the "not doing" of Jesus.
It instucts Thomas how to look at the world around him.
It was disovered in the 1940's with the Nag Hammadi scrolls in Egypt. The same teachings are also in the New Testament, of course, but this particular book is more straight forward and deals directly with "Seeing" in my opinion.
It is short and to the point.Bob
