owners, that German masters are preferably chosen. The most
important thing, however, which cannot be achieved through any
decree: a German culture. The laws can only remove all the
restrictions, then the people themselves must speak. And anyone
who has ears to hear will hear the longing for it among thousands.
Many ofthe best people stay with no more connection to any church,
they have gone away from dogma, but have not yet found a faith;
others build a world for themselves in isolation. But religion, if it
wishes to be culture-dispensing for an entire people, must have a
commonality. The single individual needs the power of a whole,
there are not many who can do without that without suffering harm.
It is high time that the narratives ofAbraham and Jacob, of Laban,
Joseph, Judah and other arch-rogues now stop conducting their
mischief in churches and schools. It is a disgrace and a shame that
these embodiments ofa completely mendacious and deceptive mind
are represented to us as religious models, indeed as the the spiritual
forebears of Jesus.
The Christian spirit and the "dirty Jewish" spirit must be
separated; with a sharp cut the Bible is to be divided into Christian
and Anti-Christian. The truth must emerge that individual men of
the Israelite past (Amos, Hosea) fought in vain against the Jewish
spirit that was becoming ever stronger, and that this spirit which
had always been present triumphed, that it viewed the Christian as
his mortal enemy, and was felt by the latter too as his opponent.
Instead of the ancient Jewish histories it is finally worth
raising the treasures ofIndo-Germanic thought, the models that were
distorted in the Jewish mirror. Let one awaken the Indian creation
myths, the song of the One of Dhirgatamas, 455 the wonderful
narratives from the Upanishads, the sayings of later ages. Let one
narrate the cosmic dramas of the Persians, the battle of the Light
456
with the Darkness and of the victory of the world-saviour. Let
one recount also the Greek and German wisdom, the belief in

[Saoshyant, in Zoroastrian eschatology, is the saviour who will bring about the
final renovation of the world when the dead will be resurrected and their souls
reunited with the godhead Ahura Mazda.]
