"The imitation of Jesus: according to Saint John of the Cross, we must imitate in God (Jesus) the fall from grace, the agony, the moment of "non-knowledge" of the "Iamma sabachtani"; drunk to the lees, Christianity is absence of salvation, the despair of God. It fails, in that it attains its goals out of breath. The agony of God in the person of man is fatal-it is the abyss into which vertigo tempted him to fall. In the agony of a God, the confession of sin is irrelevant. This agony justifies not only heaven (the dark incandescence of the heart), but hell (childishness, flowers, Aphrodite, laughter)."


A genius.

You haven't read enough philosophy, or you just don't understand what you read. The continentals, particularly the existentialists, utterly destroyed metaphysics, for all time.

What was the book that mentioned this?

I don't know why he hides it. He was obsessed with the Romantic music of his time.

Dionysian pessimism vs Romantic pessimism

I see no difference.

"The concept of god falsified; the concept of morality falsified;—but even here Jewish priest- craft did not stop. The whole history of Israel ceased to be of any value: out with it!—These priests accomplished that miracle of falsification of which a great part of the Bible is the documentary evidence; with a degree of con- tempt unparalleled, and in the face of all tradi- tion and all historical reality, they translated the past of their people into religious terms, which is to say, they converted it into an idiotic mechanism of salvation, whereby all offences against Jahveh were punished and all devotion to him was rewarded."

The Nazis tried to free mankind from the shadow of the Jewish god.
