Jesus ‘ last supper

Stanislaw Barszczak, ‘Proto-Evanglion for Jacob’(to be continued)

part 3
Jesus said to his disciples: I growing up with my naïve view of life. I delighted in people. For their prayers in the temple were good. There was a compass who showed the degree of their departure from they knew and what now they did not want to know. But I still did not have a chance to do anything. I wanted to see who am I and that’s why am I here. I looked I for a happiness of people. I had the same dreams as other characters in history. So, caused I miracles. The sick people regained health, deaf heard, the blind saw. All people were overjoyed. But I had to live. And everything was hidden in darkness yet. Though knew I everything because I was a god. I came here, you trust me, to be with you now and to be in the place where you are now. I am asking for one thing, I am asking for the right to hope. So, we can be alone the happiest or the most-rude. However, the choice is in your hands. Infinite time and space wakes up a bubble organism. I believe that the time will come when in Rome the bells will be ringing one last time for peace. Although there still can not be peace for us, only poverty and the greatest happiness. We can not escape the infection of love fortunately. You imagine I love mom whom I felt unhappy with, because she loved me so much. Each mother wants life, and got I infected by my passion. Then it was too late. And my mission could not be reversed. So, my word is not about structuring rights. You see, the law comes too late. I fed thousands, there were baskets of fractions. How beautiful it was. But artistic intelligence kills humanity, I ponder. Hence I can not think about you and myself without any reserve on. So, I want to be a smile that would light everything around now. Have the power of life. Let us now talk about values, taking over also negative ideals. Brethren, the kingdom of God is within you. Nothing but the desire to realize it, this is my aim. The civil court is not final. Once day I’ve entered the donkey to the city. And felt I that the best luck was behind me. Beauty is not goodness. We have to do enough in life or not. In order to love, one has to make also a mistake, and the error can be corrected later. From that day the undisputed sense of good is in my power to realize it. So, it still necessary work era. I spoke of the Son of Man who came down to earth. My successors we’ll identify me with anybody else. Sometimes am I shown as an apocalyptic sage. Because it is about the full realization of humanity. The kingdom of heaven is the eye of every man. So, it’s already here on the earth can I be perfect. You know, I show you on the upper realm of every human being. So, let them say, the historical Jesus lived and acted, we have written evidence for it and testify about this. Let them say, Jesus has problems with the earthly power and will be condemned to death for acting against the dignitaries in the Second Temple. These principles of theirs were not rational or good, but they were characterized by unfailing certainty. Jesus heart was torn with grief, that’s why they could be ruthless for him. Earliey they threw him out from Nazareth, his mother saw it. Today, when the world puts permanent human values ​​in the end, such as peace, goodness, beauty, openness and mutual understanding, I’d surely be a sign of opposition to the tough but current clients.
You have to start without taking care of what will happen later … For example, the people of South Africa will place the birth of Jesus in Nazareth, the others – in Bethlehem. I believe that I was born in Galilean village, on the way from Nazareth to Bethlehem, on Palestinian soil. Hence will he be born in the hearts of people for ever. On that holy land, the bells will ring for the peace of the human heart once and for all, so that everyone will be the master of his fate. Though there are diseases yet. Symptoms of the disease are masked manifestations of love, and each disease is a transformed love. Peter, you’d told to me: you are my lord, we do not measure time for weeks. Because Master, here you are. So, I want to describe terrible time in the life of man. As for me, you see, I love freedom above all else in the world, and especially the freedom to choose where am I. You see, all the confusion in the world comes from the imbalance between the volatility of the spirit and the awkwardness, slowness, and inertia of matter. This imbalance is sufficiently justified by the fact that the spirit is not interested in reality: its ferments that trigger revolutions take it by disgust. A ghost that is dead is more odious to the living than, say, for basalts, which at least do not aspire to be spirit and life. The basalts are the remnants of the former reality, which the spirit so far has left behind, so that it no longer considers it a reality; they persist only inertia. Some remember my grandmother. It was her festive cap with white, silk ribbons, and her reddish hair underneath. But that pointed nose, those deep lips, chin protruding, those yellow,translucent, folded hands that could be seen to be cold and stiff, were not hers. It was some strange, wax doll, and in this staging and paying homage to her was something terrifying. I was looking through a mood of the room, as if a real grandmother was about to appear there … She did not show up. She died. Death turned her into a wax figure forever, whose eyelids were so inexorable, so impossibly tightly closed.
You see; my mom love a life. The healthy and simple gifts of life are rarely seen with a just assessment. Most people are undoubtedly too lazy, inattentive, impertinent and spiritually sterilized to judge them fairly. In youth just did I not want to be involved in everyday life, I was too lazy. But probably time passes quickly here – commented Andrew. -Quickly and slowly, as you want, Jesus said. – Actually, I will tell you, it does not pass at all, it is not time at all and it is not life at all – for it, certainly not – Jesus said, shaking his head and reached for the glass again. -Mystery is a vessel of all wishes, hopes, feelings, dreams and possibilities. love in yourself. Because the years pass, Jesus thought about it. -I’ve learned to love the lake of Gennesaret more and more … I think that’s why I preferred the mountains to be more distant. Now I would not like to go there. It seems to me that I would be afraid and ashamed. They mountains are too capricious, incorrect, too diverse. I would feel overwhelmed there. Who do people prefer the monotony of the sea? It seems that those who have too long and deeply penetrated into intricate internal affairs, not to expect at least the outer one above all this one: simplicity… The least important thing is that you have to climb bravely when you go to the mountains, while at the seaside you can relax quietly on the sand. -Or fishing, said Philip. – I know the gaze that pays homage to this country. Health and disease, including all the difference. Man boldly enters into a wonderful variety of toothed, precipitating, precipitous phenomena, to experience his vital forces, which he has not used. But the sight of the simplicity of external things. The sea gives us a rest when we are weary with the inner dimness, Jesus said.
The horrible thing is that it’s impossible to tear the past out by the roots. The question of the religion and her relations to Divinity I have no right to decide, and no possiblity of deciding, maybe I exaggerated in my speech about the destruction of the temple and the forces including the dictatorship of social demands. But the answer has been given me by life itself, in my knowledge of what is right and what is wrong. I lost sense of time, and could not have told whether it was late or early now. Though a change began to come over my work, which gave me immense satisfaction. I would never have said those words if He had known how they would be abused. You see this girl, she served us. You can’t understand it. For you men, who are free and make your own choice, it’s always clear whom you love. But a girl’s in a position of suspense, with all a woman’s or maiden’s modesty, a girl who sees you men from afar, who takes everything on trust, a girl may have, and often has, such a feeling that she cannot even tell what to say. A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries. So, you know, I wanna wake up in a city, that doesn’t sleep. I said I find your king of the hill, top of the heap. Your small town blues, they’re melting away, don’t make a brand new start of it, in Jerusalem. You always make it there, you make it anywhere. It’s up to you, Jerusalem. I want to wake up in a city, that doesn’t sleep. There was no answer, except the general answer life gives to all the most complex and insoluble questions. That answer is: one must live for the needs of the day, in other words, become oblivious. I don’t allow myself to doubt myself even for a moment. It means too much for me, far more than you can understand, Jesus said. Anything is better than lies and deceit! To some extent should we find some artificial inoculation against the substitutes of love, as with smallpox. On the other hand, one should invent a way of inoculating love, like vaccination. Where love ends, hate begins. You know, I always loved you. So, if one loves anyone, one loves the whole person, just as they are and not as one would like them to be. I can’t think of you and myself apart. You and I are the same to me. That’s the whole aim of roman civilization: to make everything a source of enjoyment. Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. My grandmother Ann, she had never been able to stand her husband, though not for one minute in their married life had she permitted this to make her unhappy. Only people who are fond of somebody can ever be unhappy. She also had too great a desire to live herself. If she read that the heroine of the story was nursing a sick man, she longed to move with noiseless steps about the room of a sick man; if she read of a member of roman Senate making a speech, she longed to be delivering the speech; if she read of how Joachim had surprised everyone by his boldness, she too wished to be doing the same. But there was no chance of doing anything; and twisting the smooth recycled papirus in her little hands, she forced herself to read. Brethren, do not be so superstitious and do not believe in magical power. I love mom, you heard that. You remember she came to me. I knew she was there by the joy and terror that took possession of my heart… Everything was lit up by her. She was the smile that brightened everything around. Then a family home was created in my mind. The study was slowly lit up as the candle was brought in. The familiar details came out: the stag’s horns, the bookshelves, the looking-glass, the stove with its ventilator, his father’s sofa, a large table, on the table a manuscript-papirus with a father handwriting. As I saw all this, there came over me for an instant a doubt of the possibility of arranging this new life, of which I had been dreaming on the road. All these traces of my life seemed to clutch me, and to say: No, you’re not going to get away from us, and you’re not going to be different, but you’re going to be the same as you’ve always been; with doubts, everlasting dissatisfaction with yourself, vain efforts to amend, and falls, and everlasting expectations, of a happiness which you won’t get, and which isn’t possible for you, Jesus mentioned. Mom sometimes did not know what she feared, what she desired: whether she feared or desired what had been or what would be, and precisely what she desired, she did not know. But as I said always wverything was made bright by her. She was the smile that shed light all around her. You imagine, my mother was only sixteen at time. All the girls in the world were divided into two classes: one class included all the girls in the world except her, and they had all the usual human feelings and were very ordinary girls; while the other class -herself alone, had no weaknesses and was superior to all humanity. Mom was, every time she saw me, making the picture of me in her imagination, incomparably superior, impossible in reality, fit with me as I really was. Forgive me mom, not according to my unworthiness, but according to thy loving kindness, I wanted to tell her then.
There were no other eyes like those in the world. There was only one creature in the world that could concentrate for me all the brightness and meaning of life. It was she. It was Mom. Joseph was a truthful man in his relations with ourself. Joseph was contented and happy in her children, he never interfered with her in anything; I let her manage the children and the house just as she liked. He was incapable of deceiving himself and persuading himself that he repented of his conduct. He could not at this date repent of the fact that he, a handsome, susceptible man of thirty-four, was not about Maria as his wife. The only happy marriages I know are arranged ones. Many families remain for years in the same place, though both husband and wife are sick of it, simply because there is neither complete division nor agreement between them. Joseph and Mary did not know any happiness, especially when they went towards Egypt. Although Joachim was very rich. They’ve got no idea what happiness is, they don’t know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us- there is no life. -It’s hard to love a woman and do anything, Joseph used to say sometimes. You see, something magical has happened to me as a child, like a dream when one feels frightened and creepy, and suddenly wakes up to the knowledge that no such terrors exist. I have wakened up. -If you love me as you say you do, make it so that I am at peace, mom whispered. Her glance, the touch of her hand, set me aflame at time. I kissed the palm of her hand where she had touched it, and went home, happy in the sense that he had got nearer to the attainment of his aims that evening… When I thought what was I and what I was living for, I could find no answer to the questions and was reduced to despair; but when I left off questioning myself about it, it seemed as though I knew both what I was and what I was living for, acting and living resolutely and without hesitation. But I’m glad you’ll see me as I am. Above all, I wouldn’t want people to think that I want to prove anything. I don’t want to prove anything, I just want to live; to cause no evil to anyone but myself. I have that right, haven’t I? You see now, there was no solution, save that universal solution which life gives to all questions, even the most complex and insolvable: One must live in the needs of the day- that is, forget oneself. But is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels? So, I think that to find out what love is really like, one must first make any mistake and then put it right. And the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable. I remember brother then, Samuel sprinkled some scent on himself, pulled down his shirt-cuffs, distributed into his pockets his pocketknife, and watch with its double chain and seals, and shaking out his handkerchief, feeling himself clean, fragrant, healthy, and physically at ease, in spite of his unhappiness, he walked with a slight swing on each leg into the dining-room… These loaves, pigeons, and two little boys seemed unearthly. It all happened at the same time: a little boy ran over to a pigeon, glancing over at me with a smile; the pigeon flapped its wings and fluttered, gleaming in the sunshine among the snowdust quivering in the air, while the smell of freshly baked bread was wafted out of a little window as the loaves were put out. All this together was so extraordinarily wonderful that I burst out laughing and crying for joy. Samuel grew and the more intimately he came to know younger brother. The thought occurred to him that the power of working for the general welfare was not a virtue but rather a lack of something: not a lack of kindly honesty and noble desires and tastes, but a lack of the power of living, of what is called heart- the aspiration which makes a man choose one out of all the innumerable paths of life. Samuel would have been good always. There are people who, on meeting a successful rival, no matter in what, are at once disposed to turn their backs on everything good in him, and to see only what is bad. There are people, on the other hand, who desire above all to find in a lucky rival the qualities by which he has outstripped them, and seek with a throbbing ache at heart only what is good. I like to be home. Perhaps it’s because I appreciate all I have so much that I don’t worry about what I haven’t got. The memories of home and of the children rose up in my imagination with a peculiar charm quite new to me, with a sort of new brilliance. That world of him own seemed quite new to him now so sweet and precious that he would not on any account spend an extra day outside it, and he made up his mind that he would certainly go back next day. With friends, one is well; but at home, one is better. (home you are)
