Men Have Killed God by Forgetting Him by Audra Skuodas Image: Page 1 leaf 1 Nietsche could not foresee the ideological result of his ideas where they were mis-understood and mis-represented "If our civilization is not to produce greater holocausts our writers, artists will have to become something more than merely mirrors of it's violence and disintegration, they, through their own efforts will have to regain the initiative for the human person, and the forces of life, chaining up the demons we have allowed to run loose and releasing angels and minister of grace we have shamefacedly incarcerated . For the writer-artist is still the maker , the creator, not merely a recorder of fact, but above all an interpreter of possibilities. It is intuition of the future that may still give body to a better world to help start our civilization on a fresh cycle of adventure and effort. The writer-artist of our time must find within himself the wholeness that is now lacking in society. He must be capable of interpreting life in all it's dimensions, particularly in the dimension the last century has neglected, restoring reason to the irrational purpose to the drifters, value to the nihilists, hope to these sinking in despair, and a sense of beauty.. . Men have killed God by forgetting him." --Nietzche Nietzche could not foresee the result when his ideological ideas were misunderstood.

Men Have Killed God by Forgetting Him by Audra Skuodas Image: Page 6 leaf 4 "like that archaic wound, the vulva, we will be prepared to receive the conception of a new civilization. Perhaps if we are blessed by the old gods in the next civilization that will follow after this one has played itself out, we will come to appreciate the ancient and forgotten wisdom. In the temple schools of Egypt, evolution was lifted up into a conscious process. The architecture of the central nervous system and the architecture of the temple were so related that the initiate could turn on the spiral to face back from whence he had come, in order to better understand the direction in which he had to go. The temple school was another kind of vehicle for traveling in time and space. The rocket creates all hell below to hurl itself into an abstract and vacuous heaven, but the Egyptian knew that he had to turn to face the instinctive, to lift it up so that masculine transcendence and feminine immanence could become one. He knew that without such internal transmutation he only created his own external destruction." W. J. Thompson
