Time & Space: A Personal Experience with the SupernaturaI: Emil Matasareanu

Emil Matasareanu – A lost soul?

Through a lens Darkly – 1 Corinthians 13

Emil Matasareanu was a client, acquaintance and a friend for many years.  (He was an aspiring programmer and designed an early DOS accounting program I purchased from him back around 1992).  I did not learn about him being the 2nd shooter until several  months after the Bank America robbery and shoot out in North Hollywood.   It was 6 months later when my California office manager called me in Minneapolis and asked me what I thought about Emil’s death and him being one of the shooters?  I was shocked – I had no idea and yet it answered one of the strangest (supernatural in hindsight) events in my life.

I was taking a break at work and several staff members were having coffee and talking about the shooting on the front page of the Minneapolis Tribune.  I entered the conversation and gave some insights on the gun shop the police had to visit  to commandeer appropriate high capacity weapons.   I had visited this shop often when I lived just a few blocks away in Burbank.   I am what people label a conservative –  pro death penalty, pro gun, pro-life  – I responded to the fact that both shooters died at the scene, with something like “they got what they deserved”.   And yet, as I looked down at the photo on the front page  taken from a helicopter & showing a police officer with his boot on the shooters shoulder as he looked up into the sky.   Though no more than a few pixels made up his face on the grainy photo , (the image is still burned into my mind ) I was overtaken by emotion and began to weep, I excused myself from the table and went to the bathroom and continued to sob and empty out the contents of my stomach.  I had no idea why I was “feeling” emotion (Love) over this killer?  Several months later I got my improbable answer.

I was the owner of a  pioneering computer animation and digital video firm and Emil was my office director’s – “best”  friend and also a good friend of my sales manager (they were all ham radio buffs).   This is how I met him, after a few years when both his friends moved on to other companies – Emil continued visiting me about once  a week at my Glendale office just to chat, he had his quirks – always wearing flip-flops and sweat pants no matter what time he came by.  He always talked about his future in grandiose terms  and showed me his child’s pictures every week as if for the first time.  He was always polite and asked me about my family.  He even surprised me with a visit to my home to wish me the best before moving to Minneapolis and offered help moving all my office equipment to storage.  He was just an acquaintance, on that day I considered him a friend.

Emil would spend his time at my office questioning me on matters of Faith and Philosophy.   Heaven and Hell.  God or Evolution.   I was young in the Christian faith at the time but well versed in most world philosophies and science from my years of research trying my best to disprove all those feeble-minded “Jesus people” with my sacred science. Research that ultimately brought me to my knees with an improbable decision for Christ.  I was more than willing to spend hours with him discussing these important topics.  Emil would often  ask  me if  I “really” believed in an afterlife, heaven and hell, creation over evolution  –  to which I surely shared the good news of Christ’s sacrifice on at least a few occasions?

I once  asked Emil when he over stayed  a little too long  and my office manager gave me a “stare” that said “I don’t care that you own this company, Get Back To Work!”     “How the heck are you making a living anyway?   I’m the only person who has purchased your  software….  Emil  answered with a straight delivery – “I rob banks”.   I did not believe him.

One of the great miracles about the North Hollywood shootout was that their were no deaths other than that of the two bank robbers! Even though it is considered the #1 shootout in American History. Emil lived and laid on that North Hollywood street for an hour and a half prior to his death, the police department made a choice that it would be his last  – It was more than enough time for him to revisit some of our conversations about the Gospel and the lamb of God? Was I clear in my representation of  Christ’s sacrifice on the cross or did I spend too much time with science factoids and meaningless trifles?

Milton Thomas X

Can a bank robber who terrified so many people and is responsible for great pain and suffering of several victims be forgiven by God?  Christian philosophy teaches that those who have heard the good news must make a choice here in this life?   Did Emil ever make that choice? His sins are surely grave and yet by some miracle no one died on that infamous day.

Jesus Christ Applied what I like to call a “digital” law to our Analog world when he told his disciples that All sins were equal when it comes to being in the presence of the Father – If you have broken one law, you have broken all of them. Zero’s and One’s 0101010. On or Off. There is no gray areas when it comes to programming digital systems on earth either.  Software  works or it doesn’t – that’s why the simplest of errors in a piece of code will bring down an entire system!  (((RESEARCH UPDATE!  Godtype breaks the Temples initial Digital Genome Code. please visit this link))) Think about it…. Any error, big or small can bring the system down.  Murder, Stealing, Infidelity, the Hershey bar you stole when you were 7 years old  –  It does not matter – each one can equally  “corrupt” the system.   It’s  as if the creator of the universe must have developed a “Logic / Interface” in order to  allow imperfect analogous life to take part in a perfect “digital” world / Dimension we call Heaven.  Interestingly both the Jewish and Christian holy books speak of an interface required for conversion and entrance into the spiritual world.  Yeshua, Jesus, which the scriptures refer to as the “Logos” simply means “the Logic”. Interesting. Strange.  Incredible.

At first glance most people put this requirement of a Logic/interface conversion for entrance into heaven as Christian dogma and biblical unreasonableness. Yet heaven is almost always equated with being in the presence of the Father (past) who is described throughout the entire old and new testaments as a  “Spirit” – when you think of spirit in  digital terms and look at it with these concepts and a modern scientific and digital understanding  you will realize that the differences between analog and digital is somehow analogous with what is being spoken of in our 2000 year old new testament!  It is amazing to see the terms used 2000 years ago by the apostle Paul for conversion and transition  from this world to the next being used in the digital sciences.  The same terms are  being used in cognitive science as well…… go figure…. Just another Coincidence I guess……..
