centuries to a German professor—and you'll soon have a mankind of
cretins, made up of men with big heads set upon meagre bodies." [pages
314, 315]
By what would you have me replace the Christians' picture of the Beyond?
What comes naturally to mankind is the sense of eternity and that sense
is at the bottom of every man. The soul and the mind migrate, just as
the body returns to nature. Thus life is eternally reborn from life. As
for the "why?" of all that, I feel no need to rack my brains on the
subject. The soul is unplumbable.
If there is a God, at the same time as He gives man life He gives him intelligence. By regulating my life according to the understanding that
is granted me, I may be mistaken, but I act in good faith. The concrete
image of the Beyond that religion forces on me does not stand up to examination. Think of those who look down from on high upon what happens
on earth: what a martyrdom for them, to see human beings indefatigably repeating the same gestures, and inevitably the same errors!
In my view, H. S. Chamberlain was mistaken in regarding Christianity as
a reality upon the spiritual level.
Man judges everything in relation to himself. What is bigger than
himself is big, what is smaller is small. Only one thing is certain,
that one is part of the spectacle. Everyone finds his own role. Joy
exists for everybody. I dream of a state of affairs in which every man
would know that he lives and dies for the preservation of the species.
It's our duty to encourage that idea: let the man who distinguishes
himself in the service of the species be thought worthy of the highest honours.
What a happy inspiration, to have kept the clergy out of the Party! On
the 21 MARCH 1933, at Potsdam, the question was raised: with the Church,
or without the Church? I conquered the State despite the malediction pronounced on us by both creeds. On that day, we went directly to the
tomb of the kings whilst the others were visiting religious services.

BING COPILOT @ 0900 HOURS ON 13 JUNE 2024: "On 21 MARCH 1933, a
significant event known as the Day of Potsdam took place. This ceremony marked the re-opening of the Reichstag (the German parliament) following
the Reichstag fire. Here are some key details:
LOCATION: The event was held in Potsdam, chosen because it was the
center of the old Kingdom of Prussia associated with Frederick the Great
and the German Empire of Otto von Bismarck.
DATE SIGNIFICANCE: 21 MARCH 1871, was when the first Reichstag of
Imperial Germany opened, making it a symbolic choice.
ATTENDEES: Crown Prince Wilhelm, representing the Hohenzollern dynasty,
and other dignitaries were present.
BROADCAST: The festivities were broadcast on radio. Religious services
were held, and speeches were given by Reich President Paul von
Hindenburg and Adolf Hitler, the new Reich Chancellor.
SYMBOLIC HANDSHAKE: Hitler and Hindenburg had a solemn handshake,
symbolizing the “marriage of the old grandeur and new power.”

*MAKE* *A* *BEGINNING*; 1a) to begin; 2) to come forth, hence to be
there, be ready, be at hand; 3) to be;
PARADES AND REICHSTAG OPENING: Parades followed, and the new Reichstag convened at the Kroll Opera House.
COMMEMORATIVE COINS: A year later, commemorative coins were minted to
mark this historic day.
This event aimed to demonstrate unity between the Nazi movement and the
old Prussian elite and military. Hitler, dressed in a morning coat,
humbly greeted Hindenburg during the ceremony at the Garrison Church in Potsdam."
Supposing that at that period I'd made a pact with the Churches, I'd
today be sharing the lot of the Duce. By nature the Duce is a
free-thinker, but he decided to choose the path of concessions. For my
part, in his place I'd have taken the path of revolution.
I'd have entered the Vatican and thrown everybody out—reserving the
right to apologise later: "Excuse me, it was a mistake." But the result
would have been, they'd have been outside!
When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and
Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be
the only people who are immunised against the disease." [pages 143-145]
