However, the Paradigm of Christ can clearly say that the center is the principle of life's energy based on light. Hence the metaphorical system of the Gospel based on light depicting the archetypal structure of life occupies the center. Aristotle's actuality and Plato's Form of the Good respectively become the guiding ciphers of movement and essence of life. The realm of cipher is not a harmonious realm which makes us known to us the abundance of Being in an unequivocal manner. Even though some ciphers promise tranquility, knowledge of the whole of the world of ciphers does not by any means provide this tranquility.
Ciphers speak out against other ciphers.
Paying heed to these ciphers, I deny those. Though we immerse ourselves in individual ciphers, their background remains this realm as a whole as a realm of struggle. For Jaspers, both totalitarianism and dogmatic Christianity are virtually his enemies. However he did not clearly fix himself on his own final cipher. Therfore, Jaspers stresses the struggling nature of ciphers.
