Entering the Kingdom

    Jesus saw little ones being fed.
    He addressed his Disciples:
    These babies being nursed
    Are like those entering the Kingdom.
    They asked: “Shall we enter the Kingdom?
    They are small.”
    He said:
    When you make two into one
    And what is within like what is without,
    And what is without like what is within.
    And what is above like what is below,
    And when you unite male and female in one
    So that the male is no longer the male,
    And the female no longer the female,
    When you make eyes in place of an eye
    And a hand in place of a hand,
    And a foot in place of a foot
    And an image in place of an image,
    Then you shall enter the Kingdom.
