Kyai Semar’s "ESOTERICISM"*)

1.Introductory Note

In Javanese mythology, there are two types of comprehension of spirituality, the first is exoteric (common or popular comprehensible language) which simplistic, and the second is esoteric (inner consciousness language), which refers to the essence beyond all things. At outset reputedly, Sang Hyang Tunggal created egg of life. Extracting from the egg, yolk became "Sang Hyang Shiva" (the essence of all things),  albumen or white egg  to-be Semar (the essence of all things that can be comprehended esoterically), and shell came to be Togog (symbolizing the failure to seize the essence because mistakenly signify the truth exoterically or in "language of the flesh",or wadag, simplistic thinking). Next, a figure in shadow play, Togog who is supported by Bilung, epitomizes the outwardly religious apprehension or thoroughly wadag/simplistic as already mentioned earlier, and Semar followed with Gareng, Petruk, and Bagong who  symbolized spirituality that always longings for the  quintessence, loving for the significance, and understanding the substance.

Therefore, when Jesus says: "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day; and he saw, and was glad". This is the "esoterical language" to say "spiritual language" which must be apprehended inwardly. But the Jewish people hooked it up with outward apprehension of the language or Jesus’ speech, miscarriage the substance the truth, and asked: "Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?" (John 8:56-57, KJVA). Jewish people only saw Jesus to apprehend him in his existence form as a human, and failed to recognize His pre-existence as “the Word of God” (Greek: Logos; Hebrew: Davar; Aramaic: Memra; Arab: Kalimatullah) that "by/ through Him all things exist"(1Cor. 8:6; John 1:3; Psa. 33:6;2Pet. 3:5).

Jesus’ question: “Why do ye not understand my language? Because ye cannot hear MY Word” (John 8:43, KJVA), occurs to Christians themselves who can’t comprehend the principles of their own faith, namely the Godhead and the Deity of the Messiah, and the nature of the Triune God that clearly taught in the Sacred Scripture, transmitted by disciples of the apostles, disciples of the disciples of the apostles to the ecumenical church councils that formulate them  more clearer for us.
