15 – Jesus or Yeshua?

Jesus or Jeshua

WARNING:  CONTROVERSIAL MATERIAL

The next two entries will be quite controversial, so I apologize for that.  I hesitate to post such things as they fly in the face of our established history and people will happily condemn, attack and kill if they don’t like what they hear.  If you are sensitive to things that contradict Christianity, I recommend you skip this entry.

One of the interesting things about Omen was his presence during many historical events. For instance, Omen always maintained that he met Jesus; He was hung, not crucified, did not have 12 apostles around Him, and was married to Mary Magdalene with two children (a boy and girl).

(My own thoughts on the matter about  him being hung is that I doubt that  Omen was present for the crucifixion itself. But if you were to describe such an event, you would also say it’s being hung (on a cross.))

What makes this important is that it illustrates that “Jesus” did exist.  (Though I am aware of many details that were altered much later. A subject I won’t go into for the moment.)

It also shows how different this version is compared to what was later  published in The Bible.

I queried Omen a little on his meeting Jesus.

Gary:      Hey, do you think you could draw what Jesus looked like?  Just curious.

Omen:      I could if I practiced drawing portraits first.

Gary:      Cause I’m assuming the general depiction is rubbish.

Omen:     He was black and had that head wrap thing in blue and walked around with a stick thing.  Staff? No too short for a staff. Whatever it was.

Gary:     Yeah, was told He was a man of colour.

Omen:     He was mixed though, not dark dark. Think He was Persian somehow.

Gary:     Did He have a beard?

Omen:     He didn’t have much of a beard. Patchy. He obviously hacked it off with a blade. It grows different lengths according to how you hold the blade against the skin, so the jawline was longer than the cheeks and the edges of the mouth was in between.  He had blue eyes though which confused me. Maybe He was partially blind or something and hence the stick.

14 – Omen: On Salai And The Golden Ratio

Omen:  On Salai and The Golden Ratio

EXPLICIT LANGUAGE WARNING

This  entry might be of interest to those who wonder the kind of flow Omen and I had with each other. The dialogue below was typical of our chat, including Omen dropping tantalizing nuggets of information that he took for granted, but history was not aware of.

Omen often raged at humans. It was true Omen hated them, and part of it was his frustration in dealing with them.  In the chat room, sometimes a topic would come up and Omen would go on one of his rants.

One of these led to me asking Omen about why Salai wanted to kill him and why he drew the Golden Ratio. As always, it was a mixture of head scratching and intrigue. I often wonder what historians would make of these things.

Omen:     I think humans have lost the plot. They say an infinite number exists when they are just adding more numbers onto a number the goes beyond the norms of their numerical system. Yet they don’t see it’s a fault, even if nothing in the physical reality is immeasurable like infinite numbers. The number doesn’t fucking exist, its one number, you don’t say it keeps going because your (sic) too stupid to complete it. Ughhhhh! headesk

Gary:     But they say that it never ends cause it goes on and on. I think that’s the argument. Don’t ask me. I can’t comprehend it.

Omen:     They just don’t understand how to fit the number into their numerical system of reasoning because it happens to be an exception to the rule. This is when smart creatures figure out the exception to the rule. Not just go with it and come out with bullshit. Because they think they now sound smart about explaining the inexplicable because they fucked up. Continue reading “14 – Omen: On Salai And The Golden Ratio”

13 – da Vinci (Part Two)

This is the second instalment of Omen’s life as Leonardo da Vinci.  All in all, it’s rather short, though it does give fascinating insight into the life of da Vinci and things da Vinci valued most.

da Vinci:   Adult Life Through Death

     I was apprenticed to a well-known artist and educated in many fields of craftsmanship. My mentor was so sharp and harsh at times, yet so gentle and encouraging at other times; that I still wonder what he thought of me. It seemed he [Devil] saw more than just my art, one of those few individuals to be able to look into my eyes and practically make me cower inside. I could swear he saw straight through into me, judging all of my deeds. I always wished to please him for some reason. I certainly respected him [Devil] and valued his ideals, as a pilgrim would hang on their gurus every word.  In a way, I sought to emulate him at first, as he was the perfect example of success (which I was somewhat hell bent on achieving in any form for my teenage years, at the least) but over time even he [Devil] seemed to think that I surpassed him.

     Even after my tuition was finished with him, I still visited him at every chance I got and we grew closer as time went by. We went from student and teacher, to colleagues and finally to brothers as I slipped into my adulthood and our appalling age gap closed swiftly.  I would have been his lover had he not insinuated many times that he did not favor men particularly.  I’m not ashamed to say I would have legitimately done anything for him, I was indebted to him after all.

     All in all, much was said between us…but I still wonder at what was never said. It seems when meeting such inspiring individuals, there is always so much left unfinished. Such is the nature of human mortality.
