I haven't finished reading all of the logions in the Gospel of St. Thomas but stopped to do a bit of checking on logion 16. Looking up claustrum as mentioned in the explanation of this teaching sent me on a search. I have added a couple of sites at the end of this post. Food for thought.
Logion 16: Jesus said: “Perhaps people think that I have come to cast peace upon the world. They do not know that I have come to cast conflicts upon the earth: fire, sword, war. For there will be five in a house: three against two and two against three, father against son and son against father, and they will stand alone.”
Jesus clarifies his role as disruptor, not pacifier. Peace is the illusion of static reality; conflicts are the fire of transformation, sword of discernment, war of inner struggle. The divided house represents the mind’s dualities—old perceptions vs. new.
In manifestation, this is the troubled mind stage, where seeing the event-stream causes internal conflict, dividing family (aspects of self). Standing alone is becoming the solitary one, unified in astonishment, able to rule the All. Embrace the conflict as part of the path to co-creative power.
In the physical brain, there are five glandular complexes that participate in manifestation. These are the Thalamus, the Hypothalamus, the Pineal, the Pituitary, and the Claustrum. These latter three, the pineal, the pituitary, and the claustrum are bound in a trilogy. They form one complex combined, where the thalamus, and hypothalamus stand alone. This refers to the ‘war’ that will be raging as the three seat of consciousness glands are impacted by the emotions controlled by the hormones in the thalamic complex.
