Solving the Mystery of An Ancient Saying: "What the Eye Has Not Seen, the Ear Has Not Heard..."

There's a spiritual saying, an axiom of wisdom, that's been meaningful to millions of people spanning many centuries, scriptures, spiritual classics, languages, nations, and several world religions from West to East, East to West. This saying was quoted by the Apostle Paul in the New Testament but it's been a mystery as to what exactly the SOURCE was for his quote. Today, we find out the origin of this saying, and get to hear various versions of this saying as it appears again and again in so many ancient texts, traveling far and wide, passing through Jewish or Rabbinical... also many Christian Apocryphal Writings. A version of it is even attributed to Jesus, and by this I don't just mean in The Gospel of Thomas (saying 17) but in many other sources as well, and I will explore many of those as they appear in other early Christian writings. Other versions also turn up in Egypt, Ethiopia, the Mesopotamian region, in Gnostic, Mandaean, Manichaean scriptures, Suras of the Quran, a couple of Hadiths, and there's even similar versions to be found in the writings of Kabir, Guru Nanak, and other sources in India.
This wisdom saying is central to the spiritual journey as it pertains to The Spiritual Seeing and Spiritual Hearing Capacity of Souls, and being Initiated into the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. The Master says, "I will Give You Things No Eye Has Seen and No Ear Has Heard, Inconceivable to the Human Mind..." - Solving the Mystery of an Ancient Saying... today on this Spiritual Awakening Radio podcast. I will turn this into a satsang and include related teachings from Kirpal Singh and others... on spiritual seeing and hearing that which is inconceivable to the average human mind, what has typically not occurred to the heart of man.

Yeshua says, “What your own eyes cannot see, your human ears do not hear, your physical hands cannot touch, and what is inconceivable to the human mind - that I will give you!” (Jesus/Yeshua, “Gospel of Thomas”, Saying 17) “The rest of you shall inherit the kingdom of heaven, whose delights no ear has heard described, which no eye has seen and which has not appeared in the human heart.” (Jesus, Apocryphal Gospel of John)

"For He [God] says, 'Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, neither has there entered into the heart of man, what things he has prepared for them that wait for him.'" (First Clement 34:8) The Gospel of Thomas also attributes a version of this saying about what the Eye Has Not Seen and Ear Has Not Heard directly to Jesus. "In the true terminology of the Saints or Masters, a blind man is defined, not as one who has no eyes in his head, but as one whose inner eye is closed. Those who do not see the Light of God are all, excuse me, blind. When they come to a Master and he gives them a sitting, the inner eye is opened and they see the Light of God. When they return, they are men with the inner eye opened. Similarly, before going to a Master, a man is deaf. When the Master gives him a sitting, he begins to hear the Music of the Spheres and he becomes aware.” (Kirpal Singh, GOD POWER, CHRIST POWER, MASTER POWER)

Let those who have ears to hear hear!!! You know what it is!!! It’s yo’ boy yanbiz ! Yo know who I biz!

Mach14:52 @ th speed o’ light!!

[@moopius]

your own life would fit the saying. You cannot see, hear, feel, taste or smell it. The mind cannot understand it and it cannot be described... yet you know you are alive.

This verse is one of many proof that the apocrypha are in the canonical and vice versa! Think about it: if it has never come up in the heart of men, it means… the God in Genesis has come up in the heart of Moses and the prophets… therefore, that is not what Christ is talking about! As you said yourself, James Bean, “hey, Paul! Where is it written: I will give you what the eyes have not seen…” Paul then elaborates a little on what that is in Ephesians 3:19 “… even unto the PLEROMA of God” ahaaa! And who is this God? It is not the creator of this lower eon that is 2 Corinthians 4:4 there Paul is quoting Isaiah 6:9-11 the god of this world is blinding people, shut their ears and fattening the hearts from being converted and be healed and know the God whose Christ is the image…. Sooo, this saying is saying… as if he is doing people a favor…. Because Christ will give exactly❤ And who is this God whose Christ is the image? Colossians 1:12-15 --> it is the God of light who saves people from the darkness, the invisible God, also known in the apocrypha as “the great Invisible Spirit” “the Father” who is actually a Forefather: because the Father is actually the Autogenese! Be Him praised in the All (all the eons), Amen, Amen!
