THE TWO CHRISTS

BY R. E. EMBUSCADO

THE FIRST DREAM: THE TWO CHRISTS

THE OVER-ALL VIEW FROM BEGINNING TO END

AN INTRODUCTION:

THE ESSAY IN THIS INTRODUCTION HAS BEEN EXPANDED FOR CRITICAL COMMENTS AND VARIOUS KINDS OF ENLIGHTENMENT. SOME PARTS ARE REPRINTED FROM COMMUNAL ART, 1993, AND THE MALAYU TIMES, 2001

So far, the dreams that have occurred to me for three consecutive years now, since 1993 until 1995, truthfully point out that there is only one Son of the Father: Jesus Christ. His world gives us the wholeness of continuity without space-time relations, He reaches the earth and scaled the top of the garbage mountain's darkness like Tambakan, and yet humanity has started to create another god –their sinful tongue has spoken of nothing else but the false and unforeseen God. He comes here not for the sake of His life itself, not to be a God and not to die on the cross -because, His life has no end- but to live opposite the world of darkness. He is not blinded by darkness. He allows Himself to become a Man, and rushed about from one suffering to another without bitterness. It is a journey that must be done at once. The journey has been accomplished –that is, in part of the believer; but those who deny Him continued to disbelieve.

In my dream He stood up and shouted at the false Christ.

This dream may be defined solely in terms of physical division of reality between inner and outer worlds. At the middle, the sun and the stars have been made by light, and have been thrown together dissectionally, just like day and night. The True Christ light did not originate from the laws of nature; His light is not confined in the concept of mechanical process, mathematical laws, or the entire theory of relativity and other linear selection or evaluation of everything, because in theories of such darkly complex structure, concerning electric waves, radiation and gravitation, one can well see that all of this matter collides with darkness. The whole notion of this distorted geometry of four –dimensional space-time continuum' without the fullness of the light becomes a darkened world.

The True Christ life exists firmly in two worlds. The light unify His two lives in a whole. He comes forward in a series of successive stages in a course of cloudy light

The whole nature of a thing as it is, below, and the full-height of physical existence, above, is not the same. Above this unseen world, the silent scream of the poor people is heard, because someone listened to them at this place, days and without nights. Here, a different reality existed; it is full of mountainous cloud of lights. Above all, the radiance of the

True Christ Light is a way of life – it moves directly. It did not crumble into darkness, because the truth is defined with respect to the direction of His Light; and, the context of His Life which has come to be related with human suffering is an evidence that existence arises from the division of light and darkness.

On earth, life is divided into two parts: light and dark.

In my first dream, the True Christ shines brightly. The light that He emitted truthfully reflected an eternal life and a natural movement of light in linear motion; it is because He sees in reality the inner and outer conditions of suffering, and the poor people's struggle between faith and reason, flesh and morality. The light, like a cloud that embraces and carries Him at a certain height, definitely evokes the infinity of his existence. The True Christ portrays the intrinsic reality of both inner and outer unhistorical course of His life, as Man and as Son of His Father. The True Christ' life is not identified with the evolution of history or limited to the duration of events in terms of time and space from which the interaction of spatial dimensions is inflected or curved by time.

The True Christ is a dissectional man, not a universal or historical figure – likewise, He is not a symbol or an icon of modernism. The laws of universal nature is connected with chaotic effects and defined by false foundations of the philosophical religions. It is truly not logical; in addition to all this mode of modern dark-existence, its center is drawn with a straight line in the beginning, but it differs from the end: again, a curve itself.

It is necessary to know that the True Christ is not a historical figure. His life has a light of His own; it is a kind of light that reveals an existence separate from the likeness of nature; moreover, it does not illustrate, again, a universal matter and spirit, which are mistaken for the process of history itself. For the history of the world belong to the speculative matters, mythological suppositions and definition of religious things, which is a composition of organic form. In Christ Light, there is no place for the notion of darkness. Again, His light is not relatively fixed with space-time movement.

In the case of all religious interactions of artificial light in the concept of uniform motion, the given total energy into which one-dimensional evolution may be process is reduced by time. All its reducible parts formed by the fictional meanings of the coded-decoded –scripture is preceded and inferred by a false concept of eternity –asserting them as a creation that has taken place in universal form.

Similarly, it can be seen that the revelations and visions of the false christ's prophets have taken place in the beginning of darkness; and finally, they constructed the world of the poor people's suffering on the cross. They have felt that they succeeded in concealing the truth.

But who would be on the cross?

The false Christ is dying, but the True Christ is not.

The false Christ can live continuously well in the cross; because, he did not suffer physically. This brings comfort to his modern prophets. After darkness, his illusion stayed away but he hides himself again under the umbrella of the dark ages, with great success.

Don't you see that his evil-life has brought wretchedness and death; he keeps seducing you behind your mind, and scrutinizing your weak existence by residing at your dreams. In darkness, he keeps an endless gaze on all that is going on in your life and the world itself.

The capitalist prophet's teaching have dealt with the theological book of the false God's spirit, they are too traditional, but they stick to their way of being an idealist oppressor of the poor. They reckoned the philosophy of religion by universal idealism, by poetry and by enquiries about the fictional –biblical story of the past. They are no longer the students of chaotic life; in fact, they have ruined the world's view of morality.

The True Christ, like a poor man rolls up his sleeves and removes the dust from the house. He did not look to the past, and find out what caused it to be rendered useless and harmful. He draws a straight line, like the light, from His Father, when He sweeps off the gamblers at the house of prayers.

The capitalist priest-prophets insist that economics in religion, to stand up so close to the glory of their false god, must be governed by modern democracy, and free speech of all distortions of the poor people's cultural sovereignty. They conspired that the false christ dirty image should be smoothed out, and spiritually attached the symbol of the cross to the movements of his illusionary light and life.

The ancient, medieval and modern prophets of the false Christ describe creation as a beginning but even toward the end of their lives they failed to create a truthful end. And this historical outline, beginning with a false end, inasmuch as it differs from the True Christ life, is, for them, a tradition about their destructive spirits. They have understood only the memories of their ancestor's flammable past, not the light; and, they made the sign of the chaotic past in great numbers in order to be able to deceive the world more frequently.

The word of the abstract and false god spirit, as it implies in philosophic or religious term, is described as a model of universal truth, which deals with material-allegorical interpretation according to the ancient existence, but it is simply a formulated doctrine, a product of fictional deductions, which has no truth at all – or, no illumination and actuality of life. Moreover, it can't even be determined by symbolical meaning in terms of the imitable-nature of modern man and his religious observation, his experiment with illusory idealism about literature, philosophy, politics and culture.

In the name of an evil cross, from birth to the end of life (and, resurrection?), the ancient apostles and the modern prophets of the false Christ has grappled with the True Christ life, comparing Him from an abstract figure to a philosophical figure; and even the other image-making theologians who firmly believes in Abstract God have incorporated magic and illusion with the form of universals, that is, seen in terms of their study of abstract religion. The conduct of their mythical reasoning is largely to confine the true Christ in both classical and modern passion for biblical distortions.

The modern prophets of the false christ, like a magician, disappeared behind a dark wall with all kinds of religious tricks and pretensions; their shadows is seized with horrible way of death, not life – that it conceals their anti-True Christ propaganda from a view. They have been in religious business with the false Christ at the beginning of time as at a time, which bring them to lie beside him. At the same time, they perceived and believed of nothing else, because the false Christ is their evil teacher. The arrival of the false Christ will bring them part of his authentic darkness, and all his forms of chaos.

This dream did not start through the course of a biblical story, it is far removed from the New Testament, which emphasizes the True Christ' love and the cross of His suffering; rather, it started in a world of contradictions between the battle of good and evil. Here the struggle for life is filled with the light of the True Christ on one end, and with the devilish light of the false christ on the opposite ends.

All of a sudden, the devil's light comes out from the rubbles of darkness; it is filled with multi-layered forms of triumphant spirit, for it is he who utterly distorted my vision. His light has traveled forwards and backwards –because, it is poisonous. He has grown restless to such an extent.

In this magnificent battle of the two lights, under the name of Christ, one looked radiant and the other began his light quickly, exhibiting various rays in the highest degree. I have keenly observed all the lights that wraps around them. I remained looking at them with great confusion. And, at a moment, I have thought of moving away, I fear that my life will sink through the partitions of the light. This wondering of my mind is undoubtedly portrayed by the uncertainty of all sort of things and by the movement of the false Christ light, which has grown brighter and brighter. I cannot hide my fear.

I thought of how to extinguished the flames of confusion rolling up my head. I want to believe that there is only one Christ. But the True Christ is not alone in this world. He is joined by the devil, I saw him and as he suddenly came to indulge in a world of imitation he stood within a few feet of Him, his illusionary light gets bigger and bigger. The devil come back to life and threw his presence in a corner of the room. At this point, I cannot crush the flames of confusion, and clear out the dark way to take the first step in finding the True Christ from a repetition of the same images; because, the two images are not very different from one another.

The false christ looked like the True Christ. His light expressed a certain difficulty of movement, But He walked in the same light He is. However, His attachment to the True Christ has taken a great deal of difficulty, with reference to his inordinate behavior, but he did not correct it. He made his own way.

Yes, the True Christ is not alone in this world. He is imitated by the creatures of darkness –like the false christ who is capable of imitating the light set behind his fine dress. There are other impostors of the True Christ; that is, from small one to big one. In this dream, one can't trace the false christ's footsteps because of the solitary anguish rested on his smile. Of the impostors in the world of darkness, perhaps the most deceiving and powerful, is the false christ. He is the greatest evil in the history of darkness. The evil seed of faith made him different from the other imitators.

Again, the greatness of the True Christ as we shall see, is remarkably imitated by the devil with such impeccable exactness –from His light all the way to His image, which increased rather than diminished in terms of streaking lights. It is true that he walk in darkness but in a different way; because he has brought the chaotic view of human life through a deceptive fashion -just as he has done in deceiving us that Adam and Eve, in the garden of paradise, have been corrupted by an apple. He waited for them to eat it, and expected them to behave like a sinner. Manny centuries later the world has observed closely that Adam and Eve should not have eaten the apple. And what about the false christ's story? Somewhere in darkness the devil succeeded in hiding this fictional story. Because, his imitated light, too, has a lie of his own. At any rate, his story is not true.

Even at this moment, the strangeness of his illusion, which carries many faces of horrifying reflections of his evil light under the name of the True Christ, is being admired and glorified truly both by man and woman. Because, like the True Christ, the light of the devil is completely worth looking, but with an ill effect; it is beautifully illuminated by restlessness, but a deceptive brightness prevented me from understanding the causes of that essence of an illusion.

The dream has started in a kind of explosion. I suddenly moved backward, for it would have been better to cover myself with darkness. I want to run away.

At first, it was dark till an outburst of light came to the room. There can be no certainty what was going to happen. I looked at the light with utmost curiosity. From that moment, some rays of lights reflected with extreme brightness made its way through the entire theatre-like stage. I have stood before that mysterious light and tried to figure out what I should do. Again, I could walk away. But the moment is too short –or, shorter than a lifetime. The room would be worth nothing without me. I have remained in keeping myself as a fearful spectator, like a statue, which is far removed from everything except the fullness of light and life.

My dream has truly stirred my life. I know that the whole occurrence is completely centered to my attention. I could not help thinking at the same time that, regardless of these contradicting activities I was forced to witness this reality. The entire story of this dream has broken the illusion of darkness. The True Christ stood still and pointed his finger in the direction of the devil. He pointed out that the precise moment has come, and he looked straight at the devil. He shouted angrily – and He said suddenly, “AAAAHHHWWRROOOOOOOOO!”

The false christ cried painfully; then, he knelt before Him – he kept looking at me, and when he had done all he could not to fall, the darkness rushed through his light. The devil tried to control or regain his illusionary light, but he began to stumbled and shrunk through darkness.
