THE VIRGIN BIRTH
Extract DHARMA SUTRA Chapter 55 THE GOSPEL OF ISSA
Jeffrey has bought a beer for a young man, living on a deserted stretch of Puri beach...
"My own enlightenment came to me, here in Puri a long time ago, when I became aware of my duality as human and as god. Like you, when I met Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra, I understood the root of humankind’s need for religion, the emptiness they can feel without the connection to the Cosmos. During an evening of ingesting psychoactive mushrooms my physical body split in two, one became the pure deity body, the other became the eternal human, if you like The Wandering Jew.” His discourse ended in laughter at the incredulous look on my face.
“Are you trying to tell me that you are or were Jesus?” I wanted to believe this man; it would be so wonderfully joyous if it were true.
“You tell me?” he smiled, a twinkle in his eye, “After, all you were the one who had congress with a, was it four-armed goddess?”
“How do you know that?” I was getting really excited, “You are trying to explain to me a very complex view of the universe in overly simple terms,” I was becoming sceptical, thinking the guy was playing mental tricks on me.
“My other self did get a reputation for telling some very good parables,” laughing out loud at my perplexity.
“You are telling me,” I continued, “that here in Puri, you became two distinct beings, and one walks back to Jerusalem with his Buddhist learning, only to die a painful death?”
“The death was quite quick really, compared to the two unlucky buggers either side of him,” now Jesus swears, I thought. “It’s this other Jesus I’m looking at now that confuses me,” I said, “If you have become immortal, why the fuck do you choose to live on this arse end of Puri beach?”
“But I don’t,” he replied, “I am everywhere, anywhere I choose, but I only appear to those who wish to speak to me, just a projection of your need to believe.”
“If you can appear anywhere in time have you met the Buddha?” I challenged him.
“You are still not getting it, are you?” he said, “I am the Buddha; remember the smile I gave you that day in Dharamsala?”
