believe that the Germans will be subjugated by the Jews, our military exploits have shown us to be too strong for that.” [823W-{5/25/72}CD Vol. I, p. 490]
[824W-{6/7/72}CD Vol. I, p. 495]
[P. 495] {FEUER} “R. says: ‘… in places where Nature denies him much, the human being becomes significant and greater than Nature. The Athenians had unfruitful Attica, the unproductive soil raised their intellectual powers to the highest, and the Arians, returning from the mountains, found in the rich cradle of humanity people living almost like animals, while they, already developed, created Brahmanism as they dwelt in the rich valleys.’ “ [824W-{6/7/72}CD Vol. I, p. 495]
[825W-{6/8/72} CD Vol. I, p. 496]
[P. 496] {FEUER} {SCHOP} “We talk again about ‘Christus.’ ‘Fear of life after death places all such things as the Regnum Coelorum among the beatitudes. These people have never, either intuitively or consciously, grasped the ideality of time and space, which makes one aware that eternity and truth are always present.” [825W-{6/8/72} CD Vol. I, p. 496]
[826W-{6/20/72}CD Vol. I, p. 502]
[P. 502] {FEUER} “ ‘I shall still do ‘Parcival,’ R. says in the evening. ‘Art makes religions eternal.” [826W-{6/20/72}CD Vol. I, p. 502]
[827W-{6/21/72} CD Vol. I, p. 502]
[P. 502] “Regarding the strangeness of Melusina’s children R. says, ‘The urge to individualize figures caused people to depict gods and creatures of divine origin with physical defects, Wotan with one eye, etc.’ (I think in this connection of the limping devil). That also expresses the belief that spiritual power precludes regular physical beauty; just as we know no genius of regular beauty, the women took Hephaestion to be the King, for he seemed more beautiful to them than Alexander. Wherever this thoroughbred, regular beauty appears, the brain is reduced in potency – Nature had intended something different.’ “[827W-{6/21/72} CD Vol. I, p. 502]
[828W-{6/29/72}CD Vol. I, p. 505]
[P. 505] {FEUER} “But, alas, how is culture possible when religion has such defective roots, and even terminology is so little defined that one can talk of spirit and Nature as if they were antitheses?” [828W-{6/29/72}CD Vol. I, p. 505]
[829W-{7/2/72}CD Vol. I, p. 506-507]
[P. 506] {FEUER} {SCHOP} “Which the greater, Wotan or Siegfried? Wotan the more tragic, since he recognizes the guilt of existence [P. 507] and is atoning for the error of creation … .” [829W-{7/2/72}CD Vol. I, p. 506-507]
