To Proclaim Volkish Faith You Must Leave The Computer And Go To The Volk
It is Christianity’s fault that the Germans have become alien to themselves. The oriental Bible could probably occupy the Germans for a time. But it is too narrow and rigid in order to awaken in their hearts that yearning that always pushed without intermediary to the divine depths. That hot yearning that demands work, service and sacrifice.
We have the task to release ourselves from a centuries long tradition that tied our hearts and subjugated our souls. From which we sicken since the time when the Irminsul broke and the Galgatha cross was erected. We have the task to cast off all foreign plunder, to break off the dream of angel paradise and to return to the earth. We have the task to be nothing but Germans.
The German does not wait to read his faith from books. He wants to seek it himself. He wants to win it, to wrestle it from life. Even if he needs a whole life for it. Not only the German scholar wants that; the man in the factory and in the fields want that much more, more passionately, more honestly. For his hard labor smashes all the pretty theories that the pastor demands from him. It is easy for him to talk about faith and love in his warm room and on his high pulpit.
No! If you want to proclaim German faith, then you must go into the factories, into the mines, onto the fields. Then you must descend from your pulpits, must leave the churches’ altars and step to the Folk’s altars! Then you must no longer cling to dogma and letters, for the German heart is broad and great. Then you must not ask: What stands written? Then you must ask: What does the German want? Whither draws his yearning? What are his sacred possessions? Where does he seek his God?
Then the testaments will fall, then the Christian era will come to an end. A new life will shape itself a new faith that will be eternally young, but eternally seeking. Because life is eternal and because the ultimate thing eternally remains surmising and yearning to us.
We also have no time in order to argue over words. Whether we speak of religion, of faith or piety, is not important. Whether we call the ultimate thing God, Light, Providence or Primal Force, is all the same. Important is only that we do not say Judah, also not Rome, but rather Germany.
