Foundations of the Nineteenth Century A translation from the German by John Lees With an introduction by Lord Redesdale Volume 2 Houston Stewart Chamberlain 9781402154317 Books
In Volume Two of Houston Stewart Chamberlain's (1855 - 1927) "Foundations of the Nineteenth Century" from 1899 (John Lees translation 1911), one is given more insightful revelations as to the causes and principles that led to the rise and predominance of the Teutonic peoples over and beyond the confines of Western Civilization. Once again, I will try to give a brief sampling of this most useful, relevant, and significant masterwork.Seventh Chapter: Religion
(From the notes on page 111)
"This timor servilis [the devil and hell] remained henceforth the foundation of all religion in Loyola's order. Very interesting in this connection is a letter of a Canadian Jesuit (published in Parkman's The Jesuits in North America, p. 148) who is ordering pictures for his congregation: one Christ, one d'une bienheureuse, several holy virgins, a whole selection of condemned souls! One is here reminded of the anecdote told by Tylor (Beginnings of Culture, ii. 337). A missionary disputing with an Indian chief said to him: "My God is good, but he punishes the godless"; to which the Indian replied: "My God is also good, but he punishes no one, being content with doing good to all".
Rome:
(page 112)
"The power of Rome lay in the continuance of the imperial idea, indeed, originally in the actual continuance of the imperial power. It was a heathen Emperor, as we have seen (page 46) who first settled a quarrel between Christians by proclaiming the voice of the Roman bishop decisive, and the true founder of Roman Christianity as a world-power is not a Pope, Church father, or concilium, but the Emperor Theodosius. It was Theodosius who on his own authority, by his edict of January 10, 381, did away with all sects except the one which he had elevated to the dignity of a State religion and confiscated all churches in favour of Rome; it was he who founded the office of "Imperial inquisitor" and punished with death every deviation from the orthodoxy which he recommended. But the whole conception of Theodosius was "imperial", not religious or apostolic: this is sufficiently clear from the fact that heterodoxy or heathenism was characterised juristically as high treason. We cannot understand the full significance of this until we look back and find that two centuries earlier even so fiery a mind as Tertullian had demanded universal tolerance, because he was of opinion that each one should worship God according to his own conviction, and that one religion cannot injure the other".
Does one know of a secular "global power" today that at this very moment has made this its stated goal?
(From pages 130 - 132)
"In the second half of the thirteenth century there was in all countries into which Germanic blood had penetrated - from Spain to Poland, from Italy to England - an awakening of religious consciousness such as has perhaps never since been equalled; it signified the first dawn of a new day and manifested itself as a reaction against the enforced unassimilable religion of the Chaos. Everywhere there arose Bible and other pious societies, and whenever the knowledge of the Holy Writ had spread among the people there followed, as if with mathematical necessity, the rejection of the secular and intellectual claims of Rome and above all the rejection of transubstantiation and the Roman doctrine of the sacrifice of the Mass. The situation became daily more critical. If the political situation had been more favourable, instead of being the most hopeless that Europe had ever known an energetic and final severance from Rome would then have taken place even to the South of the Alps and the Pyrenees. There were reformers enough; in a way there was no need of them. The word Antichrist as a designation of the Roman stool was on every one's lips. Even the peasants knew that many ceremonies and doctrines of the Church were borrowed from heathendom, for at that time it had not yet been forgotten. Thus there was a widespread inner revolt against the externalising of religion, justification by works and particularly against the sale of indulgences. But Rome stood at that moment at the zenith of its political power, it conferred crowns, dethroned Kings and passed through its hands the threads of all diplomatic intrigues. It was then that that Pope ascended the Papal throne who used the memorable words, "Ego sum Caesar! ego sum Imperator". It became again, as in the time of Theodosius, high treason to hold a different faith from him. The defenceless were cut down; those who had to be treated more considerately were imprisoned, intimidated, demoralised; those who were for sale were bought. Then began the reign of Roman absolutism even in the sphere in which hitherto comparative tolerance had ruled, namely, in the sphere of the inmost religious conviction".
There is a "global power" that at this very moment is doing the very same thing (it certainly looks like things haven't really changed all that much in 800 years!).
Eighth Chapter: State
The Delusion of the Unlimited:
(page 177)
"Socialism is imperialism in disguise; it will hardly be realisable without hierarchy and Primacy; in the Catholic Church it finds a pattern of socialistic, anti-individualistic organisation. An absolutely similar movement towards the Limitless, with the same inevitable consequence of a suppression of the Individual, is encountered in the realm of great commercial and industrial undertakings".
This irrevocable Truth has always been acutely apparent to me from an early age, and thus I was never duped or taken in by the Globalist Bankers greatest hoax and sleight of hand: that Communism and Capitalism are somehow mutually opposed to each other (a great lie, they are one and the same; since they both originate from the same source---the Globalist Bankers)! This little morsel of wisdom alone is enough to demonstrate how important and useful this book can be in the hands of researchers and seekers of truth. I hope I was able to give the interested reader a sense of the timeliness and of the necessity of this important philosophical treatise. A quarter of a century later, but more the wiser for finally reading the whole book (vols. 1 and 2). Just like Goethe; Houston Stewart Chamberlain was a true renaissance man and an artistic genius in the real sense of the word: how rare indeed is the true poet of vision!
