# A religious quote for today
I found this in the Gospel of Thomas (considered by quite a lot of people as a Gnostic text, but it is quite a valid text to other Christians to):
Jesus said, “I am the light that is over all things. I am all: from me all came forth, and to me all attained.
Split a piece of wood; I am there.
Lift up the stone, and you will find me there.”
I like this quote (G.Of.Thomas 77) quite a lot, I think even non-Christians can fully grasp the above statement. If you think about it everything that is physical in this world is somehow connected to another physical thing in this world - whether it is made from the same material, or energy passes through it into another, or even if we own something now that was previously owned by someone else… one thing does merge into the next (even at the very very tiny (smaller than atom) level nothing has a real sharp border). The above quote is not saying that you will literally find Jesus under a rock or in a plank of wood, he is actually saying that he and everybody and everything on this universe (and beyond?) is actually made from the same basic things (physically/mentally/spiritually/other[ally]).
I believe that Christians who are against (or just don’t believe in) Gnosticism would even agree with the quote, its not overly Gnostic (but I could be wrong). For those who are non-Gnostic Christians you may prefer to consider Galatians 3:28 (NCV) today:
 In Christ, there is no difference between Jew and Greek, slave and free person, male and female. You are all the same in Christ Jesus.
Methinks I’d like to really get into religion and philosophy.
