83. Called

The Germans are destined to become the leading people, both spiritually and earthly! Numerous books point to this, and many sound prophecies and visions, which cannot simply be dismissed as figments of the imagination, reiterate this point time and again with great clarity. It is indeed true that many books on this matter were only written to lift the spirits of the Germans anew in times of great distress, so that the good is not entirely overrun by despair in the face of the evil new publications of such plights; yet whosoever seeks in earnest to concern oneself with the future of this people, which must first emerge from the ruins of present conditions, will also find that there must lie a grain of wisdom or truth in the indications of a great future.

But I say quite deliberately: ‘From the ruins of present conditions!’; for out of the present conditions themselves there is only one way: that is further decline and downfall!

Just take a careful look at people as they are now! Look very closely at the coming generation, the next German generation, especially among the older youth. It is already poisoned at the very root, in body as well as in soul. The few exceptions that still appear stand out as eccentrics,  yet for an entire people they amount to almost nothing. 

So greatly do these exceptions seem exaggerated beside an ever-declining backdrop, that they begin to look grotesque, and are close to falling prey to general mockery, as though they were not normal, but morbid, useless dreamers and fools!

Yet this grotesque anomaly lies not in those credible exceptions, but in the sinking environment, which is moving further and further away from a halfway normal state of soul in its hopeless fall. Such humans no longer perceive their own decline, which distances them from the healthy, firm ground on which the few still stand; but instead harbour the false impression that the pathological few are floating about in childish delusions, only to come crashing down disillusioned at any moment and become the laughing stock of everyone.

Yet not for much longer, and their eyes shall lose all mockery, giving way to horror when they must finally realize that those they previously laughed at hold the correct and firm position, while they themselves, sinking into the worst excrement, gradually suffocate. In the filth they have prepared for themselves, which is now coming down over their heads unstoppably!

The worst part of this dire state of affairs is not to be attributed to Germany’s enemies, but to the Germans themselves.

As in boiling all grime floats to the top, so it is also in this great time of fermentation. Where all things now, with raging speed, drive toward a mighty process of purification, one sees from outside only the foul foam or dregs of the true German people flung upward, which no longer lets the healthy ground be seen, and gives the false impression that everything is already utterly and beyond hope corrupted. Yet such is not the case!

The more tightly the unclean foam closes together as a blanket on top, the clearer and purer the main body beneath it will become. And then, when sobering up through terrible events brings a cooling of the boiling caused by the current conditions and the emerging hardship, one fissure after another will tear through this hard dregs from below, suddenly revealing the purity and clarity that has formed beneath the dirty, stale layer that confuses the senses.

Then, with enormous force, what has been clarified will victoriously break through and tear away the increasingly dried-up scum, which in the future can no longer remain as a barrier between the events and the true core of the people!

The victor, however, is not a new, coming generation, nor is it today’s German youth, growing up so spiritually sick and wretched, who have allowed themselves to be poisoned and must flutter away like chaff at the first breath of fresh air, because they set out prematurely upon false paths and lived them out to point of the destruction of every true support. The victor will be the old, the former order, which, purified like steel, suddenly rises from the senseless chaos as an unshakeable bedrock upon which alone the new order can be built!

Look within yourselves, you mature German men and women, not at the growing youth, who can and must learn only from you. You bear the future within you, you alone, who still experienced the past as a foundation!

You have merely stood by in bewilderment at the senseless goings-on of the past, and have therefore not yet intervened! Help at last the demoralized youth with the old German force, which knows no weak yielding, and which blazes upward powerfully in its severity towards itself and toward others alike, feared by falsehood, by softness and weakness!

It was but boundless astonishment at the possibility of the current events that for a time paralyzed your unconquerable, sound will, not approval or delight in the debasement of the body and, no less, of the soul.

And you, who have thus let yourselves be shackled together with the generations that follow you, have a duty to break them yourselves, and not to expect a solution from your successors!

But you, who leisurely wait for the fulfilment of high prophecies, do not deceive yourselves! Where no action is taken, the best prophecy cannot be fulfilled! The “waiting” itself bars the gate against possibility.

And your disputing over interpretations and the timing of possible fulfillments is just as dangerous and ruinous for Germany’s future as the German scourge of perpetual division in domestic politics, wherein one must recognize that there still has been no true German national spirit. It has always been found only in isolated individuals! Only in times of greatest danger did the masses sometimes stand united, but even then not always. Where, then, has there ever been a truly German people, inspired by a free, proud spirit? Any troublemaker could easily gain a foothold; such wicked game always found fertile ground.

Carelessly dancing, one hears, with a shrug, the desperate laments of entire sections of the German people, who suffer daily from the hatred of their enemies. Yet promises and prophecies speak of a chosen people! Can the German people, as they present themselves today, even come into question for this? Do they show themselves to be chosen? I can spare myself the answer to that.

Being called is a very peculiar thing. Christ himself warned: “Many are called, but few are chosen!” This means that of those who are called, only a few actually achieve fulfilment, since they must bring about this fulfilment themselves through iron-willed striving, extraordinary activity and laborious diligence. And just as it is with individuals, so it is with a people!

To be called simply means to possess within oneself the capacity for fulfilment, but not that this fulfilment is simply cast into the lap of the called one. Only when the called one, that is, the capable one, commits everything, utilize their abilities in full with iron-willed, unwavering diligence, through hard striving and tenacious struggle, does help then come to them from Above in an extraordinary manner, leading them to victory, that is, to the fulfilment of their calling.

Yet this, too, must again not be misunderstood; for the coming of otherworldly and mighty help is not to be understood figuratively. The power for final victory is always at the ready. The called one need only work their way forward through their efforts and the abilities bestowed upon them to the point where they encounter this Force, which then unites Itself with them!

So, quite otherwise than many of the called ones often think. To be called imposes obligation! A called one is handed the sword of victory for battle through their abilities. They must always wield it and strike with it themselves. So do not dream away a time in which great deeds are already appointed for you, and which alone must let you conquer as soon as you get moving. It may well be ‘too late’ for this, whereby a subsequent victory is made tenfold, yes hundredfold more difficult.

Since now everyone can see that the German people, as they currently stand, cannot be regarded as the ‘chosen’, yet promises always bring with them the possibility of fulfilment, it is clear that many changes must take place within the German people. It does not change of its own accord; this has already been shown in recent years, since the German spirit has been in decline rather than on the rise, to which every German has a part to play.

Therefore, the consequence is that it will inevitably reach a point where it is forced to surrender ground and soil, so that the necessary German spirit may finally emerge from great need.  What peace and joy cannot achieve, suffering may finally accomplish. And if the suffering beforehand does not yet suffice, then it must come harder, harsher than before, and one day the point shall be reached where every stubborn resistance breaks, or submits.

Between breaking and yielding, each individuals still has a free choice, for one must reap the reward for both, depending on the nature of the decision one then makes. The closer the fulfilment, the greater the suffering is now to be expected. Blessed are those whose decisions turn out for their good.

The chosen people cannot, of course, in the context of world events be limited to a single nation. It is therefore not intended to refer to German people in the strictest sense; and indeed, no nation as such comes into question in world events, though it may well play a role in the outcome of much that happens. Each nation determines the nature and extent of its own role.

The sole determining factor in the coming phase of world history is race, not the nation. The Caucasian race stands highest of all in the development toward the decision. That Asia and other continents were already farther advanced before than Europe of that time is not of any further significance. At a time when the final reckoning is now to be made, not only for these earthly humans, but for the entire part of the world to which this earth belongs. The respective state at the hour of decision alone is decisive; nothing else. And in this respect, the white race now stands at the forefront.

For this reason, Europe also comes into consideration as the battleground. I already pointed out clearly in the lecture ‘Gods, Olympus, Valhalla’ that every reincarnation takes place in an environment corresponding to the state of the soul to be incarnated. Thus a Caucasian, in the case of a significant decline in spiritual level, can incarnate into a lower Black tribe, and naturally, the other way around.

Among the white race now, the truly German spirit is regarded as the highest! The German spirit in all its integrity and greatness. It has already made several upsurge to this level, yet has never actually reached the actual height, except in isolated individuals, who must always lead the way. These isolated individuals demonstrated the abilities of their race. The German spirit is to become both a model and also leader in the final ascent of earthly humanity. The spirit, not as it is now, but as it is to become, as it can become according to its abilities, and as it will certainly become in the coming experience!

Now, however, this is not meant exclusively to the nation that calls itself German. Every concept in world affairs extends far beyond that; it is not so narrow. This intended German spirit can also be an inherent trait of members of the other nations. It is meant objectively in terms of its capabilities, by no means nationally. Yet members of the German people mainly possess within themselves all the fundamental traits necessary for this spirit of the future, to which unconditional victory and leadership among humanity are reserved.

Therefore, guard yourselves, you Germans; do everything in your power to ensure that, called by your disposition, you too are chosen. The chosen people will consist of individuals who have been chosen, and you all have a claim to be among them. Therefore, it will not consist solely of Germans, but also of members of other nations who, in spiritual terms, belong to it. Its reach extends beyond the borders of German land.

Do not squander the lofty task that awaits you! Break free from the superficiality of your current thoughts and trivial life, and become what you can and must be: a spirit, a people that has to go before the others and lead in an exemplary manner.

Miss the precisely defined time for this, when the entire cosmos works in support, and there awaits you, instead of ascent, a fall of such terrible force that you can never again come to resurrection as finally rejected. To be called obliges you to the highest unfolding of power! Keep this warning in mind at all times!
