One of Wagner's most often quoted statements, enigmatic, baffling. Yes, if we interpret the letter, not the spirit, of the information Wagner gives. Parsifal 's space is an imaginary space, the time in which Parsifal takes place is an imaginary time. As soon as space appears, past and future time become the present. Light creates space, changing light is changing time.
Light is life.
This life is brought by light out of the vast, cosmic night of the universe. The labyrinth neutralizes space and time, and is itself space and time. Each of us creates that central point or objective as his personal solution. Titurel places the altar in the centre as a sanctum for the Grail , Klingsor creates an imitation of that sanctum, which to him possesses equal significance, for Kundry to appear in. Parsifal picks up the spear , holding it horizontally, i.e. non-aggressively, and thus turns the sacred spear , which has been misused as a weapon, back into a holy relic.
