Parable Dream- Mustard seed, Grape Vine and Wine

Feb 5 I had been reading some more texts from the Gnosis.org website and had a conversation about these topics. I'm sure people elsewhere have come to similar conclusions, but I dreamed about this so I will write it down.

These quotes are from The Gospel of Thomas

Line 20:
The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us what the kingdom of heaven is like."
He said to them, "It is like a mustard seed. It is the smallest of all seeds. But when it falls on tilled soil, it produces a great plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky."

I spoke with myself about how we must be fertile for the kingdom to grow within us so that we will know it and be able to partake in it. Then in my dream it was also contrasted with the grapevine.

Line 40:
Jesus said, "A grapevine has been planted outside of the father, but being unsound, it will be pulled up by its roots and destroyed."

We are growing on the grapevine right now which was put there in ignorance of the light kingdom, It will be
removed. (Read Pistis Sophia and other texts to find out what this means in fullness.)
I have underlined another saying that was discussed. It is From Line 47

Jesus said, "It is impossible for a man to mount two horses or to stretch two bows. And it is impossible for a servant to serve two masters; otherwise, he will honor the one and treat the other contemptuously. No man drinks old wine and immediately desires to drink new wine. And new wine is not put into old wineskins, lest they burst; nor is old wine put into a new wineskin, lest it spoil it. An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment, because a tear would result."

Which meant to me that we must become ripe from the light so that when we are plucked from the vine we are filled with goodness and are as a new wine, right now we are the old wine that is in a old skin (earthly ways and form). We will be purified into the new wine upon our resurrection from this place (removed from the body) and be in the new skin. This is why we must reject matters so that when he comes for us we won't be a mixture of the two because to be in a spiritual place you must be of spirit and not material. Material things belong in the world. We must do our best to learn how to be as Jesus showed and instructed his disciples.
