Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples, "These nursing babies are like those who enter the kingdom." They said to him, "Then shall we enter the kingdom as babies?" Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]." (23 Thomas)

When we have been reborn and are new and fresh in every way, then we will enter the reign of God.

When everything we know has been overturned and everything we have been is turned inside out and upside down, then we will enter the reign of God.

When every division and category by which we define ourselves and others has been overcome and put aside, then we will enter the reign of God.

When we return to our primordial relationship with God and our separateness is restored to oneness, then we will enter the reign of God.

When we - as a suckling child - simply accept the love and nourishing care of God, then we will enter the reign of God.
