Thomas Logion 5, DU78 Originally posted as DU Forum on Yahoo as #9766 on 12/27/04

5. Jesus said, "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden
from you will be disclosed to you.

For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. [And there is
nothing buried that will not be raised.]"

from the Patterson/Meyer translation at

*****

The passage in the Course which perhaps most closely relates to this is:
quote
Projection makes perception. The world you see is what you gave it,
nothing more than that. But though it is no more than that, it is not
less. Therefore, to you it is important. It is the witness to your state
of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. As a man thinketh, so
does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but choose to
change your mind about the world. Perception is a result and not a cause.
And that is why order of difficulty in miracles is meaningless. Everything
looked upon with vision is healed and holy. Nothing perceived without it
means anything. And where there is no meaning, there is chaos.
unquote (ACIM:T-21.in.1)

Ken Wapnick has written analogous to Freud, the World is the Royal Road to
the Unconscious, (cf. "The message of ACIM, V.1, p.211) and so, in the
dream of this life, we need to see how "what's in front of our face," is
the clue to what's spooking around in our subconscious, which we could not
access any other way. So the movie of our life presents the unique
forgiveness classes that are appropriate to us. Our job remains choosing
miracles instead of murder.

Notice again how Jesus is talking about revealing what's hidden. An
important theme, also from the Course with its constant emphasis of
looking with Jesus at the shenanigans of our egos.
