Voyage of jesus christ



Of all the dreams on the background of which
 calamity and fatalism have reigned
 I still am unable to forget that one
 with which I began my Tour of the World
 at the geographical point where Love was born
 and broke off at the point
 where humans came to hate one another.

 In a completely natural way
 I began to hunt down Hate
 but after a while this comfort turned into confusion
 since I had just read
 the "Dialectic of Moses”
 and I had to appease my own spectres
 regarding the anxiety which had then gripped Moses
 as to the essence of History
 which if you judge by the winds
 as they caress the windows of Jerusalem
 doesn`t seem to be tragic at all.

 But it seems to me that Moses
 as the wind scattered his thoughts through the Desert
 may have acted in haste.

 The windows of Jerusalem
 have looked out on Idols alone.

 Those which did not pose any threat to the City
 but just as they were not dangerous
 they were also uncorrectable
 and thus could disturb the conscience of Citizens
 regarding the morals of Heroes
 which on the heels of the enslavement of human souls
 began to spread the cloud of doubt
 so in the end not one person was liberated.

 And so great was the misunderstanding
 of this People that it nearly became a bosom friend of God
 until the autumnal nakedness of Mt. Sinai
 was decked out in the crusade of this entire People
 which went to be punished converting into dust
 the Happiness which Fate had ordained for it.

 All the wilderness left behind was enough
 to confirm what had once
 been but a spectre...

 As soon as it was delivered from the intoxication
 of the divine temperament
 the visionaries of the Dialectic
 which was baptized by the hot Wind and the Soul
 saw that Heaven was nowhere to be found.

 Around them could be seen only milling Humans...
 not to say Rome...
 power...
 cold logic.

 But that was enough for us to pull away
 from you and Earth.

 In another world by now
 I had absolutely no chance of determining
 whether Jerusalem had moved to Hell or
 to Paradise
 just as Jerusalem had no way of knowing
 that with Hate stretching before me
 my eye would be drawn to Heaven
 just as my body to Earth
 and would continue to be beset by visions
 to bring before the empty eyes of this World
 the unfortunate past of White Idealism.

 That is why hope is not to be found
 as everything has become terribly blurred
 and I`m afraid the most dreadful thing of all will soon rule.

 Holy Scripture has begun to stagger about the Earth
 refusing to stride in step with the worldly walk
 going back to the time the Steps of this World
 first became imperial
 and night was getting ready to fall on that World
 so that all of these games of absolutely no seriousness
 all of these doubts and conjectures
 would be arranged like Black Legends
 on the banks of the Jordan river.

 Thus the following day
 only one thing would come true
 from the Dream I saw.

 Its flow cannot be contained
 in mere undulation without mysteries
 signs and shadows of the life beyond.

 And that has dispassionate aims...specific...
 so the only thing that can be faced in this World
 will be the Punished People
 which as I meant to tell you above
 will pervade History
 having before it the Desert
 there in its eternal place
 seeking explanations for the return of Idealism
 from the Jordan river...
 and if I`m not mistaken
 not even that one has the right to return
 quite the same as all other beings
 who do not belong to any God.
