I’ve used a line from this Oxyrtynchus manuscript for my daily quote, but I want to share the entire excerpt that I discovered in The Mystic Vision: Daily Encounters with the Divine, compiled by Andrew Harvey and Anne Baring. Worth meditating on.
“Who then are they that draw us and when shall come the Kingdom that is in heaven?
“The fowls of the air and the beasts, whatever is beneath the earth or upon the earth, and the fishes of the sea, these they are that draw you. And the Kingdom of heaven is within you and whosoever knoweth himself shall find it. And having found it, ye shall know yourselves that ye are sons and heirs of the Father, the Almighty, and shall know yourselves that ye are in God and God in you.”
