The discovery of fragments of texts on the life of Jesus not included in the official Christian Bible were a sensation in 1945. Parts of an unknown gospel credited to Thomas were part of this sensational discovery of a collection of scriptures at Nag Hammadi in northern Egypt in 1945, collectively known as the Gnostic Gospels.

As one of the first, Osho comments in detail on the Gospel of Thomas in a series of talks called The Mustard Seed, bringing a modern understanding to this text . This inspiring book grants us profound insights into the truly universal nature of Jesus' original teachings. We learn about the missing years in Jesus life and his time in Egypt and India, learning from Egyptian secret societies, then Buddhist schools, then Hindu Vedanta and how these influences made him a stranger to the Jews.

The Jesus revealed here is not the Jesus preserved in the teachings of orthodoxy, but the Gnostic Jesus, who turns upside down our preconceptions about ourselves and the world.

Even if some people donnot believe that the Gospel of Thomas was written by Thomas, or that it is the Christ speaking and revealing the mystic speech written down in the Gospels, what Osho says is totaly correct. It is beautiful and it holds undeniable truths that are much like Buddhas, Mahavatar Babaji's, and Meher Baba's truths. Some of the words in the Gospel of Thomas are almost the exact same as the New Testament Gospels,I reccomened reading esoteric Christian mystics who experienced Christ

0:24 - 0:25 Thomas went to India, that doesn't mean this Gospel was written after he went there - if it was in fact written by him which - again - is highly doubtful.

...Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! Galatians 1:8-9
