Jesus said, "This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away. The dead are not alive, and the living will not die. During the days when you ate what is dead, you made it come alive. When you are in the light, what will you do? On the day when you were one, you became two. But when you become two, what will you do?"(11 Thomas)

The one becoming two is often perceived to be a reference to Plato's Symposium and Socrates' description of how the sexes and sexual attraction emerged.

What if, instead, we understood this as referring to our relationshp with God? We were one with God. We have been given a freedom separate from God. We have become as two.

With this freedom, what will we do? Do we seek to further separate ourselves or do we seek reconciliation? What is our choice?
