INERTIA (host):
Welcome back to Impossible Dialogues.
Today, we pierce the veil between spirit and form.
Joining us is Wassily Kandinsky—pioneer of abstract art, painter of the unseen, who once said “Color is a power which directly influences the soul.” And beside him…
Jesus of Nazareth, rabbi, rebel, redeemer—who turned tables, told stories, and said “The kingdom of God is within you.”
KANDINSKY:
My Lord, when I painted, I sought what the eye cannot see. A sound, a vibration… a resonance behind form.
You spoke in parables—images. Was this your art?
JESUS:
A parable is a doorway.
The wise enter through the image—the fool bumps into it and blames the wall.
But you, Wassily… you painted doorways without hinges.
You painted parables.
KANDINSKY (softly):
I once believed color was sacred.
A blue was not blue. It was longing.
A red could be wrath—or divinity.
JESUS:
Just as a mustard seed is not a seed—but a revolution.
Art and spirit speak in signs.
And the soul… only wakes when the sign is felt, not merely seen.
INERTIA:
So, what does liberation look like to each of you?
KANDINSKY:
Liberation is when the outer world dissolves, and you no longer paint things—you paint being.
To abstract is to strip the world until it cries with meaning.
JESUS:
And I say: liberation is when the last are first.
When the ego breaks like bread.
The kingdom does not come with observation—it is not “here” or “there.”
It is within—where the canvas is blank and eternal.
KANDINSKY:
My work was accused of madness.
They said I had abandoned beauty.
But I saw beauty not in form—but in force.
JESUS:
The temple was accused of holiness.
They said I had defiled it.
But I saw holiness not in structure—but in spirit.
INERTIA (pausing):
You both… turned the world inside out. One with paint. One with silence and blood.
Do you think the world is ready now—for truth without shape?
KANDINSKY:
The world is ready.
But the eye must learn to hear.
JESUS:
And the ear must learn to see.
[A moment of deep silence.]
JESUS (gently):
Wassily… had I walked past your studio, I would have sat on the floor, and watched the colors move.
Not for their beauty.
But for what they refused to explain.
KANDINSKY (with tears in voice):
And I would have painted your silence.
A gold line.
A break in the canvas where everything begins.
[Outro music: Choir hums merging with bowed strings, then fading into the sound of brushstrokes and footsteps in sand.]
