(1) Gospel of St. Thomas - Wise:

50 Jesus said,

1 "If they say to you, 'Where have you come from?' say to them, 'We have come from the light, from the place where the light came into being by itself, established [itself], and appeared in their image.' 

2 If they say to you, 'Is it you?' say, 'We are its children, and we are the chosen of the living Father.' 

3 If they ask you, 'What is the evidence of your Father in you?' say to them, 'It is motion and rest.'"

(2) Note-Wise:

[Rich Note: The “Zero One Amazement” is a characterization by Alan Watts, of what Bill Samuel might have called (in my words) the “fundamentally contradistinctive nature of self-reflective thinking or carnal-minded knowing,” that is so eloquently stated in the following extract from “Musings On the Road to Winnipeg,” (from a full 2009 SanfordInn.Com essay available at the link that follows the Extract) :

“...We began by trying to define happiness. I remembered my work more than 30 years before and that for one to perceive they are happy, they must abide in unhappiness – this is dualism – more specifically the binary nature of knowing, which Alan Watts called “Zero One Amazement” for its power to evoke a peak conscious state. In order for happiness to be explicitly known, we have to know unhappiness. This “unhappiness” is tacit – held within consciousness – and is subjective. In the act of knowing, “happiness” is objectified and in a sense exteriorized...”
