It is a psychoactive experience. He hasn’t calmed down any. ‘‘Looked at freshly and closely, away from the safety of churches and cleansed of the banality with: which constant repetition has disguised his most radical sayings, Yeshu is as disruptive and mind- altering as ever. For better: or worse, he won’t let society alone, and he won’t let you alone. He is not a man with whom one can be made to come to terms. Make peace with him today, and he’il be back another day with something awfully unpeaceful.— some reminder that you are letting the Kingdom of Heaven within you rot?’ Ventura does not believe that: Yeshu was the son of any God, or that he rose boldly from the dead, or ihat he said even haif the things they say he did, or that he waits to judge him and everyone on some apocalyptic day. He sup- poses Yeshu would be appalled at literally every religion that has been founded in his name, ‘from Paul's first church at Corinth till today — appalled and, paradox- ically (as was his way), bemused.”’ “For Yeshu would remember his own fate — how even ‘he lost sight of the way his ministry had begun; how toward the end, the Gospels agree, he had: virtually stopped healing; how even. his energy and wisdom. were . not enough to prevail. But he also knew his mission and his worth and that, as he said, the Jaw of his time would pass away before his: words passed away.”’ Now the laws and ways of our time are passing away, transform- ing themselves for better and worse into a future that’s beyond: our power to imagine or control — an (as always) freshly danger- ous age that as yet has no name.
