A labyrinth of ideas,
A diary of curiosities

For our God is not an abstract thought, a logical necessity, a high and harmonious structure made of deductions and speculations.
He is not an immaculate, neutral, odorless, distilled product of our brains, neither male nor female.
He is both man and woman, mortal and immortal, dung and spirit. He gives birth, fecundates, slaughters - death and eros in one - and then he begets and slays once more, dancing spaciously beyond the boundaries of a logic which cannot contain the antinomies.
My God is not Almighty. He struggles, for he is in peril every moment; he trembles and stumbles in every living thing, and he cries out. He is defeated incessantly, but rises again, full of blood and earth, to throw himself into battle once more.
He is full of wounds, his eyes are filled with fear and stubbornness, his jawbones and temples are splintered. But he does not surrender, he ascends; he ascends with his feet, with his hands, biting his lips, undaunted.
My God is not All-holy. He is full of cruelty and savage justice, and he chooses the best mercilessly. He is without compassion; he does not trouble himself about men or animals; nor does he care for virtues and ideas. He loves all these things for a moment, then smashes them eternally and passes on.

إلهُنا ليسَ تركيبًا مجرّدًا ولا حاجةً منطقية أو فكرةً متعاليةً ومتناغمةً صَنَعَها الإستنتاج والإستقراء.
وهو ليس نتاجًا طاهرًا ومحايدًا بلا شكلٍ أو لونٍ من صُنعِ عقولنا، غيرَ مُذكَّرٍ أو مؤنَّث.

هو رجلٌ وامرأةٌ في ذاتِ الوقت، خالدٌ وفانٍ، لحمٌ وروح. يَلِد، يخصِّب، ويَقتُل - الموت والحبُّ في آنٍ واحد - وبعدَها يُنجِب ويَذبَح مجددًا، راقصًا بمرحٍ خارجَ حدود المنطق الذي لا يَحتَمِلُ اجتماعَ الأضداد.

إلهُنا ليسَ جبّارًا. إذ هو يعاني لأنّه في شقاءٍ كلَّ لحظة؛ فهو يرتعِشُ ويتعثّرُ داخل كُل مخلوقٍ حي، فَتَراهُ يَصرخُ ويُهزَم بلا انقطاع، لكنّه ينهضُ مجددًا وهو مغطّىً بالدم والتراب، ليَرمي نفسَه في المعركة مرةً أُخرى وقَد مُلِئَ بالجِراح، وغَرِقَت عيناهُ بالخوفِ والعِناد. فكّاه وصدغاه متشظّيان، لكنّه لا يستسلم، فإذا بِهِ يَتسلّق؛ يتسلّقُ بقدميه، بيديه، عاضًّا شفَتَيه، لا يثنيهِ شيء.

إلهُنا ليس قُدسيًا أو مثاليًا. بل هو مليئٌ بالوحشيّةِ والعدالةِ البدائية، وهو يختارُ الأفضَلَ بلا رحمة. فهو لا يعرِفُ الشفقة؛ وهو لا يُزعِجُ نَفسَه بالبشر والحيوانات؛ ولا يهتمُّ بالفضائِل والأفكار. لكنّه يُحِبّ كلّ هذه الأشياءِ للحظة، ثمَّ يسحَقُها بشكلٍ أبديٍّ ويُكمِلُ ارتقاءَه

My prayer is not the whimpering of a beggar nor a confession of love. Nor is it the trivial reckoning of a small tradesman: Give me and I shall give you.
My prayer is the report of a soldier to his general: This is what I did today, this is how I fought to save the entire battle in my own sector, these are the obstacles I found, this is how I plan to fight tomorrow.
My God and I are horsemen galloping in the burning sun or under drizzling rain. Pale, starving, but unsubdued, we ride and converse.

صلاتي ليسَت مثل توسّلاتِ الشحّاذين ولا هي اعترافٌ بالحب. وهي، بلا شك، ليست كالمُحاسبات التافهة التي يدعو بها تاجرٌ صغير: أعطِني وسأُعطيك.
صلاتي هي تقريرُ جنديٍ لقائِده: هذا ما فعلتُ اليوم، هكذا قاتَلتُ لأُفوزَ بالمعركة في القطاع الذي أنا فيه، هذه هي العوائِقُ التي واجَهتُ، وهكذا أُخطِّط للحرب غدًا. أنا وقائِدي فارِسانِ نعدو تحت الشمس الحارِقة أو المطر الغامِر. شاحبان، جائعان، لكن لا تُثنى عزيمَتُنا، نحنُ نركب ونتسامَر.
I love it when new posts are related to older ones, it feels almost like there's a theme or a grand design that guides my ideas... While in reality they're all just a random mess

I know now: I do not hope for anything. I do not fear anything, I have freed myself from both the mind and the heart, I have mounted much higher, I am free.

لقد أدرَكتُ الآن: أنا لا آمل في شيء. أنا لا أخافُ من شيء، لقد حرَّرتُ نفسي من العقل والقلب وارتَقيتُ عاليًا، أنا حر.
هالجملة "لا آمل في شيء، لا أخاف من شيء، أنا حر" مكتوبة على شاهد قبر نيكوس كازانتزاكيس بمدينة هيراكليون بجزيرة كريت
Out of my will to life and to health, I made my philosophy

The transport of Christ to the grave, By Antonio Ciseri
The true "death of God" must've happened during those three days after Jesus' crucifixtion. Imagine being a disciple of Jesus (God in the human frame), and after his death, you had to carry your own God to the grave. This must've been Existential Crisis at its worst level.
