All the works of man have their origin in creative imagination. Eternal truth needs a human language that alters with the spirit of the times. Never before has eternal truth been faced with such a hybris of will and power. Ignorance is certainly never a recommendation, but often the best knowledge is not enough either. An unconscious Eros always expresses itself as will to power.
Life is a touchstone for the truth of the spirit.
Nowhere are we closer to the sublime secret of all origination than in the recognition of our own selves, whom we always think we know already. To make the reversal complete, all the powers of the underworld now hide behind reason and intellect, and under the mask of rationalistic ideology a stubborn faith seeks to impose itself by fire and sword, vying with the darkest aspects of a church militant. It seems to be a psychological law that though the conqueror may conquer a country physically, he will secretly absorb its spirit. Today the old China has succumbed to the West, and my purely empirical findings show that the Chinese spirit is making itself clearly perceptible in the European unconscious. The needful thing is not to know the truth but to experience it.
