>"For this is the essence of true Religion: that, away from the cheating show of the daytide world, it shines in the night of man's inmost heart, with a light quite other than the world-sun's light, and visible nowhence save from out that depth." — Wagner's "State and Religion."

>" Under the leaf of many a Fable lies
>The Truth for those who look for it; of this
>If thou wouldst look behind and find the Fruit,
>(To which the Wiser hand hath found his way)
>Have thy desire — No Tale of Me and Thee,
>Though I and Thou be its Interpreters."
> — Salaman and Absal of Jamal

>The real meaning of this noble and deeply touching drama has been so misunderstood by those who have not had the opportunity or inclination to study the poem and its author's prose works that it will be necessary at the outset to show how mystical that meaning is. The long quotation in our last article on the Ring revealed Wagner's intuitive perception, from the first, of the great principle of Renunciation — the Stilling of Desire, and his realization of its logical necessity by the aid of Schopenhauer's clear-cut thought.

>Towards the close of 1854, when that great philosopher first began to claim his attention, Wagner writes to Liszt:

>"His chief idea, the final negation of the desire of life, is terribly serious but it shows the only salvation possible. To me of course that thought was not new, and, indeed, it can be conceived by no one for whom it did not pre-exist; but this philosopher was the first to place it clearly before me."

>Two years later the subject is mentioned again and a quotation from a letter will serve to show how all these works grew out of one another and were intimately connected in their inner meaning in Wagner's mind. We have shown in the previous article how he connected Siegfried and Tristan, in their "bondage to an illusion." Now he refers to an idea for a Buddhist drama, which later developed into Parsifal:

>"I have again two splendid subjects which I must execute. Tristan and Isolde you know, and after that Der Sieg (Victory), the most sacred, the most perfect salvation. . . To me it is most clear and definite, but not as yet fit for communication to others. Moreover you must first have digested my Tristan, especially its third act, with the black flag and the white. Then first will my Sieger become a little more intelligible to you."

>It may be mentioned here that Tristan is one of the Knights connected with the Celtic versions of the Parsifal and Holy Grail legends.

>Only the love that springs from pity, and carries its compassion to the utmost breaking of self-will, is the redeeming Christian Love, in which Faith and Hope are both included of a—Faith as the unwavering consciousness of that moral meaning of the world, confirmed by the most divine exemplar; Hope as the blessed sense of the impossibility of any cheating of this consciousness.

Yeah I can definitely see how this perfectly fits together with all of the structure of his philosophy, such as the Timaeus, and also coincides with some of Heidegger's beliefs about Plato with the Forms as Being and such. And the Dyad would be most closely expressed in the Phaedo right? With the talk of duality.

Also any idea when these theories became prominent or were first proposed?

Why is it so common? I can think of a few other thinkers also.

Why does this happen so often in this world?
