"IMhO you cannot 'explain' these 3 sentences to a retard; it just won't happen. You have to find out a lot - and then dismiss that all! before you can get close.. how about calling it a most difficult Simplicity?"

That helps me to understand Thomas 1:2 better. Thanks.

2) Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he
finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes
troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All."

3) Jesus said, "If those who lead you say, 'See, the Kingdom is
in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they
say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you.
Rather, the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you.
When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and
you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living
Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty
and it is you who are that poverty."

P.S. Yes, I am fairly astonished by all that I am learning in the past few years since my studies of multiple religions began. I ran across Joseph Campbell from his video interviews with Bill Moyer. He was the one that got me interested in the many religions, or as he called them, the masks of God. His "Hero" video was also quite enlightening.
