The Romantic and the 7th Head.


 

Who then was the 7th Head?   To remember.

 

Since the Tower of Babel God did divide mankind into many nations who are guided by angels of the entourage of Lucifer.

They are responsible for the language and the cultural identity of a nation and of course also for the administration if the state business.

 

As we know from the Revelation and from Daniel, from those angels have been elected, who are responsible for the fate of Israel – in respect of the legal hospitality.

 

There is mentioned a “Beast from the Sea” with 7 heads.   The heads are those angels, who have the reign over the nations.

The 1st head is the reign of Bel, the deity of Babylon 6oo AC.

The 2nd head is the dominion over the Medes and the Persian.

The 3rd head is the dominion over the Greek, a fourfold.

The heads 4 and 5 were the dominions of Egypt and Syria.

The 6th head is the reign of Jupiter, Rome.

The 7th Head has the dominion in our days, which expands over the nations of Europe and further on.

 

But also these nations are guided by their own angel.   He is responsible for the language, the cultural identity, and the apparatus of state.   It has been so in those days and it still is so.

 

But what is the task of the 7th Head, who stands above those deities?

 

So, since the Renaissance the 7th Head conveys to the nations of Europe a high-differentiated awareness of the world, and the ability, to transform ideas into practice.

The 7th Head enables the nations of Europe to “measure the world”.

He enables the “Man of Modern”.

 

The modern man does not know this. He thinks, that he on his own, with his own gifts, creates the modern life, but in reality his success relies only on the spiritual gifts of the 7th Head.

This error on one side and his character of envy, greed, and aggression lead then to a significant misunderstanding of his situation.

                                                                                 * * * * *

First of all the “Early Romanticism”.

 

In the 18th century a rebellion of the mind takes place: The “Enlightenment”.   They coin the motto “Man’s emergence from his self-imposed immaturity”.

 

The bondage under a feudal dominion, the pretension of the church, the prescriptions of the guilds constrained life, as it has become aware especially to the citizens in the towns.   They wanted to get free.

From Goethe comes the sentence: “Real life loosens often it’s glance in such a way, that sometimes one has to improve it with the varnish of fiction”.

 

To those literary improvements of the world Jane Austen said:  “They want to believe their fine words to be true”.

The men of Enlightenment wanted to get free, and they wanted to make their life on their own.

 

They wanted and did free themselves from the common idea of a god.   Those, who believed in God, were often discredited to be narrow minded.

When Matthias Claudius confessed himself to the discipleship of Jesus, he has been ridiculed by his poet colleagues and has been esteemed to be insane.

 

So: A new idea of a religion has been established.   And with this the Early Romanticism began.

 

Let’s read with Friedrich Daniel Schleiermacher, what he understands with “Religion”:

 

1.) Religion is part of our soul and belongs to our temper. There is no God, of whom you have to be afraid, and there is no other world, you can hope for.

Man is part of the universe, this is his holistic world.

 

2.) Perceptions of this world, which unleash an experience of feeling, are the aim of his religious abilities.

More exact: An intuition of this world as part of its wholeness, unleashes an experience of feeling, and leads finally to a certain knowledge, to an idea.

Each man is born with this ability, to have intuitions of this kind.   This ability has nothing to do with moral or learning.   This is inherently.

The intuition then with this feeling then is the experience, the resulting insight then is the knowledge.

 

3.) People of a nation have comparable experiences and they easily come together as a

“religious community”.

And so there are in this world many religions.

 

4.) These religious intuitions are part of a wholeness, of a holistic universe, and therefore the various intuitions of the different religions will not contradict each other, but will rather be a complement.

 

5.) Man begins with his birth:  He learns to see, to think, to speak, and he learns to be a part of a universally wholeness.   Now he is grown up.

 

6.) In Christianity he learns the intuition of redemption and reconciliation.   In Judaism he learns the intuition of revenge.

To Schleiermacher these contradict intuitions are still acceptable.   In the next generation then it is no more acceptable.

 

7.) In the church there are priests and laity, people, who teach the truth, and people, who learn the truth of the Bible.

This is not so with Schleiermacher:   Everybody can be the priest and everybody can be the laity.

Everybody can have knowledge, which leads to concernment, that is intuition, and everybody can receive those intuitions from others.

 

As it happens nowadays this will show the following picture. Now we can see here the procedure to receive “happiness”, “excitement”, the “stream of the spirit”.

 

 

 One person is the emitter and some hundreds are the collectors.   And this does not have to be in a church-room.   As we see on this picture.

 

( In church the community will be inspired by the Holy Spirit, of course, on this picture it is the spirit of the national deity, which works through the singer.

What we can see here, is, how intensely the audience is led by the spirit, how intensely it is taken by the spirit.

                                                                                 * * * * *

Schleiermacher can see two related intuitions.   Besides the religious intuition there is an artistic

intuition.

 

The first means the perceptions of man about himself.   He himself is part of the wholeness of his world, the universe.   These are the known perceptions of man about himself.

 

The other means the perceptions of the community of man:   The artist has an insight into the “collective unconscious mind”, into the soul of the nation.

His portraits i.e. are no photographic copies, they show his essential relations in this world, in his world.

 

But there is still a third variety of the intuition.   About this speaks Immanuel Kant.   Also this is given to man since his birth.   ( So he thinks.)

It effects the knowledge of man about the “physical conditions” of his world, those are his perceptions of forces, spaces, and times, controlled by the experiment and mathematics.

 

                                                                                 * * * * *

Before turning towards “Romantic”, we want to regard the state of affairs – in the

Early Romanticism.

 

The man thinks, that he owns the spiritually gifts, to have such intuitions.   He thinks, that he has the insight, which he derives from those intuitions.

He does not know, that the Spirit of the 7th Head mediates those insights.

 

Let’s have a look back to the Old Greek.   ( until 323 BC )

They had a high-differentiated perception of the world, which came to manifestation in their language, in terms and concepts.

 

Even if we are not capable of the Greece language, we do know, that the Bible has been translated into Greece.   The Septuagint.   The New Testament is even directly written in Greece.

The Bible is the word of God, of the Holy Spirit.   It is the measure of differentiation of human thinking.

 

( Luther could not simply translate the Bible into the German language.   He had to enlarge the German language significantly.

Some scientists of language think, that since Luther there is a German language at all. )

 

This high-differentiated perception of the world mediates the 7th Head.

In the 3rd phase of the 4in4-manifold there are 4 angels active, who in those days mediated the perception to the Greek.

 

Which are the consequences for us now?

An example:

There are the sun and the planets.   We know, that there are laws of gravitation and the centrifugal force.   By these forces the planets move around the sun.

We know this because of the 7th Head.

But the 7th Head does not say us, that God did make the sun and the planets.   The Man of Modern knows only something about the status of the sun-system.   He has an intuition.

 

Next: The man experiences himself as part of a community, a collective.   How God this community created as his nation, he doesn’t know.   He knows only something about the status of his belonging to the community.

 

And: The Man of Modern experiences himself as a being in a love relationship.   How God gave him this ability, and that God wants him to live a life in this ability, is not known to him.

But he knows something about his happiness or unhappiness as the status of his relationship.   He has an intuition of it.

 

All three descriptions of the status of the World of Modern have a scientific character:

 

First: There are the sciences. Man has an insight of the nature.

 

Second: The theme here is the collective, the soul of the community.   The insight here is of sociological nature.

 

Third: Man sees himself as a being in dependency of mutual relations.   This insight here is of psychological nature.

 

( And if there should be somebody, who with his old-time belief follows a Jesus, he will be delimited of the community because of  “spiritual aberration” – more or less intense.

This happens nowadays as it happened at the time of Matthias Claudius. )

 

The Man of Modern receives from the 7th Head a precise picture about himself and his world - but only in aspects of sciences – he doesn’t know anything about an initiator, a creator.

 

But the believers – whether Jews or Christians – know by the Bible their relationship to God.   God tells them in the Bible - or sometimes directly, how he wants to guide them.

 

The perceptions by the 7th Head have the character of a neutral, scientific character.

 

Let’s have a view on the situation of the disciples of Jesus on the Lake of Galilee, when there is a storm coming.   In their fright they call on Jesus, who then stops the storm.

In her scientific distance the Church then says, that the disciples had beautified the review – to better the picture of the Messiah.

( Because we know: nobody can stop a storm.)

 

The Church does not believe the word of God, but the cognition mediated by the 7th Head.

 

And now something common everyday:

How gets the cup from the breakfast in noontime in the kitchen?   Let’s ask a physicist.

 

He needs a whirlwind or an earthquake, to describe this.   For the existence of the sun-system he needs a Big Bang and some billions of years.

God creates this in a day, as Moses tells us in the Genesis.

 

By the 7th Head Man of Modern has many cognitions and is able to produce many machines and systems – but he stays in a clear distance to his God, who he doesn’t know any more eventually.

 

And what happens now?

In France the Man of Modern proclaims the freedom.   He is orientated with the motto: “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”.

 

In Germany there are two ways:  After the motto: ”Religion is Opium for the people” the socialism is propagated. ( Marx and Engels )

 

The other way is the orientation to the Romantic.   Here begins an odyssey, which has not come to an end until now.

                                                                                    * * * * *

From the “Early Romantic” to the “Romantic”.

 

In our time the term “Romantic” is more or less restricted on the world of emotion, on the mood of sentiment, on the mood of lovers, which will be generated in special surroundings.

There is a walk under the shining moon, a visit in a restaurant, or a Candlelight Dinner.

 

However “Romantic” is not only a mood, but there is the perspective of intimate community of a vision for future.

 

“Romantic under the 7th Head” describes not only an event under the sky of stars.   Man wants to be free, he wants to shape his freedom, he wants to shape his own future.

 

So he thinks of old times – before the renaissance – were a deity gave success to his hero.   And this is now something new:   Man remembers old times to shape the future.   He thinks of the former heroes.

 

Now, the stream of power of the 7th Head effects ideas and their transformation into practice.   The stream mediates an insight of the wholeness of my universe accompanied by an event of feelings.   So it has been described in the “Early Romantic”.

There they meant to get knowledge about the reality of life circumstances.

 

But we want more in the “Romantic”.   We want to shape our future.   And therefore we don’t look at the normal circumstances of life, we look at the beautified.

 

We want a vision.

 

But: In this we are not guided by the 7th Head.   He gives us insight only of a real world.

Subservient to the 7th Head are the national angels, the national deities.   They are responsible for the language, the cultural identity and the government of the country.   Also from here there comes not any vision for the future.

 

So: Who opens us a vision for the future, if not the 7th Head and not our national angel?

 

For: This is the way from “Early Romantic” to the “Romantic”.   We don’t strive for knowledge only, we want to see a future.

 

And finally:  If our deities don’t tell us anything about our future, who then does it?    This is the final question.

 

The answer is, that our deities are combined with the wrong Prophet.

 

                                                                                 * * * * *

So then what is Romantic?

 

There we have a “beautified” world.   Filled with emotions.   And we know finally the perspective of our life.   Finally we have a vision of our life.   And this is not only the vision of lovers.   It means us all.

But who are we?   We are the soul of our nation.

 

Here we see the “Italia” and the “Germania” as friends.

                                                                                                        ( Friedrich Overbeck, 1828 )

 

We look here at the soul of a country, the issue here is the public feeling.   The soul of a nation will be illustrated by an allegory, that means, the soul of a nation will be represented by a different language, the language of pictures.

 

 

 Then, at the begin of the war in the year 1914, the “Germania” had a totally different appearance.

She is prepared for the fight, and is full of wrath.

                                                                                                 ( Friedrich August von Kaulbach )

So once again:   What is Romantic?

There we have a beautified world.   Filled with rich emotions.   And we know finally our destiny of our life.   We have a vision for our future.   This is the invention of the Romantic, a vision for our future.

 

God’s vision for our future is, that we come to Him into the heaven.   Through Jesus.   And we have to know, that there is only one valid vision for mankind.

 

And now we can see here a new attack on the Truth of God:   Lucifer wants to undergo the vision of God with his own visions.   By this he is rather successful.

 

                                                                                 * * * * *

Let’s turn to the visions of the Romantic, how they have been introduced by the operas of

Richard Wagner.

To get an insight there, the story of Lohengrin should be told briefly.

 

The Lohengrin-Saga. The Saga of the Swan-Knight. 

 

August von Heckel, Neuschwanstein, living-room of King Ludwig II, 1882 / 83.

1.) The complaint of Elsa.

Elsa, the daughter of the Duke of Brabant, is introduced to the Count Telramud on the Wartburg castle.   She is compelled to merry this lord.   In a prayer Elsa brings her complaint to God, who sends a helper.

A little bell at Elsa’s rosary has miraculous power.   Her prayers are heard at the Court of King Arthur.   At the Court of Arthur they are arguing, who should go to help Elsa.

 

There in the Castle of the Grail appears a white dove on Good Friday, which brings a Host from heaven.   While the knights there are in astonishment, the dove produces a scripture on the Grail: “Lohengrin”.   Lohengrin is the helper for Elsa of Brabant.

 

2.) Lohengrin’s voyage to Antwerp.

Lohengrin mounts his horse to follow his mission.   At the Rhine River he meets a white swan, who pulls a small boat behind himself.

Lohengrin enters the boat, which brings him to Antwerp.   A host becomes the nourishment of Lohengrin and the swan during his journey.   In Antwerp Lohengrin has been welcomed ceremonial.

 

3.) Lohengrin prevails in a fight against Telramud.

At the imperial assembly at Mainz Telramud’s indictment against Elsa of Brabant comes to a decision:   King Heinrich calls for God’s judgment.   Lohengrin wins against Telramud, whom he decapitates.

Lohengrin and Elsa get engaged.   Elsa has to promise, never to search for the name and the ancestry of Lohengrin.   Then they marry in Antwerp.

They have two boys.   They had a happy time, but then Lohengrin goes to war with his king against the Saracens and against Hungaria.

 

4.) The wife of a knight brings doubts about the ancestry of Lohengrin.

While Lohengrin is absent the wife of a knight brings doubts about the ancestry of Lohengrin, so that the curiosity is awakened in Elsa.   Lohengrin can resist this curiosity twice.   But then he tells his name in front of the congregation of the court, and his mission through the holy Grail.

 

5.) Lohengrin returns to the Round Table.

Lohengrin has to return where he came from.   Back to King Arthur’s Round Table in the Castle of the Grail.   No mourning and begging can help.   Lohengrin dismisses from his family.   The swan appears with the boat, and Lohengrin is on his way back.

His son he has named before to become the Duke of Brabant.

Elsa has a breakdown in her grievance and is hold in the arms of her son, the Duke of Brabant.

 

                                                                                 * * * * *

Who are those acting persons?

 

Elsa of Brabant: The soul of the country.

Telramund:  He wants to be her master.   He wants to rule her.

The dove:   The Spirit of God.

Lohengrin:  A knight of King Arthur’s Round Table.

The swan: ?  An anonymous power.

 

Now there is an interpretation of this story by Rudolph Steiner, 1906.   This theosophical interpretation is quite in consensus with Richard Wagner, and quite close with the interpretation of the romantics, as with the late Friedrich Schleiermacher.

 

Elsa is the soul of Brabant  and has to marry Telramud.   But Elsa hates the idea to be guided by Telramud.   She asks God to help her.   God answers her calls and informs his priests, the knights at King Arthur’s Round Table.

 

The Round Table is at the Castle of the Grail.   The Grail is the cup, which used Jesus at the Last Supper in Jerusalem.   To this Grail comes the dove from heaven and brings a Host.

And then appears a scripture on the Grail: “Lohengrin”.

The knights at the Round Table are delighted to have gotten a message from God and send Lohengrin, to support Elsa.   Lohengrin enters a boat, and a swan pulls it down the Rhine to Brabant.

 

Now:   On such a journey is Richard Wagner.   He is delighted to be sent as such a “Lohengrin”, to come to help the German soul, the “Germania”.

And from where does he know this?   Is this an imagination?   A schizophrenia?

 

No.  He has gotten insights and is guided by the Stream of the Spirit, to be this “Swan Knight”.

 

His kind of help is the opera.   But he doesn’t succeed.   So he takes more rough devices:   In Dresden he joins a group, that will bring down the government.   This attack is unsuccessful and he is sought by the police.   He tries to get a start in Europe, in Paris, in Saint Petersburg, but on all places he leaves only an amount of debts, and causes criminal prosecution.   Richard Wagner is at his end.

 

But just before he was able to initiate the opera “Lohengrin” in Munich.   One of the spectators was Ludwig II., the King of Bavaria.

The stream of power, which was sent by this performance, has seized him totally.   While most of the audience rejected this performance, Ludwig has been taken by this, he was “delighted”.

 

He himself has been born on the Castle Swan-Stone, situated in the region of Swan-Land.   This coincidence was only something to smile for Ludwig.  But he has been taken by a knowing and by a force, to support this “Swan-Knight”, to serve him.

 

Ludwig II. takes this mission very seriously, for the consternation of his ministers.  Ludwig II. is led by a strange deity.   He wants to strengthen Bavaria i.e. by the promotion of music-orchestra and not by inventing military weapons.

 

Ludwig is not sick.   He also can see this discrepancy.   But he is not able, he does not want it differently.   The strange deity is so close to him, that he cannot even bear the competitive nearness of a woman.

The power of Ludwig II. is his influence as a ruler and his money.   Both accounts he strains to the utmost, to help the “Swan-Knight” for his success.

 

Finally Wagner could settle down in Bayreuth, and soon his income of the opera performance were so considerably, that Wagner has become independent from Ludwig II.   The Bavarian people themselves financed his projects.   His visions became their visions.

 

Witch are his visions?   The task is too great, to look into his operas for elaborating them.   But there is a program, which the Nazis with the help of Cosima – the wife of Richard Wagner – deduced from the operas:  “Without Judah and without Rom we will build the German Dom”.

 

( Dom = Cathedral > Future, the German Millennium Reich. - see: King-dom. )

So: The vision for Germany excludes the Jews and the Christians. And this was already the view of the Romantics at the time of Goethe. ( 1832 )

 

                                                                                       * * * * *

Now there reminds one task:   Who now is the deity, by which Richard Wagner has been guided?

Who had such an influence, by witch finally the whole German nation has been seized ?

This is our theme here, and nothing less.

 

Now we have already mentioned, that the 7th Head does not give any impulse to the subordinate national deities in respect of a future-vision.   This is not his and not their design.   They leave their people in uncertainty about right and wrong and the consequences.

 

The God of the nation Israel is God himself.   And God gives his Israel a vision:   I am going to send to you my Messiah, listen to Him, He will take all your debts from you and He will gather you as My children into heaven.

 

If this vision, which God has given to His people, is too much accepted, if other nations believe it, too, then Lucifer’s expectations of influence become smaller and smaller, to win people for his dominion.

 

So what does he do? He plans to give counter-visions, to undergo the visions of God.   Therefore he has a special angel at his disposal:   This is the angel of the lie and the force.   The angel of malice. The combination of lie and force is rather successful.   The lie and the force is subject to the

false Prophet.   (Rev 13 )

                                                                                   * * * * *

Can’t we see this directly?   Let us turn to the world of the deities, as we know them.   Do we know them?

Let’s turn to our own language, where many things are conserved.

 

In the language around Hanover people say: “Mir schwant etwas.” or else “Mir schwant nichts Gutes”.

They have an inspiration that something special is going to happens, or that something bad is going to happen.

 

The scientists of language say, that the God Swahn gives a message, and the “S” is to understand like an article.

So, the deity “Wahn” gives people a message.   In the sanctuary of this deity is a “holy stone”, where people pray.   This is the “Schwan-Stein”.

 

An “insane person” (“Wahn-sinnig”) is somebody, who has a special sense for the inspirations of the deity Wahn. ( sense = sinnig )

If this man passes on an inspiration then he makes an “Er-wähnung”.

 

Now let’s turn to Richard Wagner.   When he settled down in Bayreuth and finally was in peace with the police, he said: “This is the place, where my “Wähnen” found it’s peace.

 

Now he had peace to be inspired for his operas from the deity.   His wife Cosima knew all about this and she adored him, nearly, as if being the god himself.

 

But, of which god are we talking?   Is it the god “Wahn”?   Wahn belongs to the national deities.

Wagner himself thinks, that Wahn would inspire him.

 

A deity is responsible for the language, the cultural identity, and the state system.   There are no visions.

The music of the operas is an inspiration of “Wahn”.   But not the ideas, not the visions, to save the soul of the “Germania”, like a Lohengrin, to save Elsa, the soul of Brabant.

 

So there is a deception.   It is not the deity Wahn that will save Germany, it is a lie, that brings this vision, which the Word of the true God brings into suspicion.

The lie is in combination with the force. Both together are very successful. They are subject to the wrong Prophet.

 

How can we see force here?

a.) In Dresden Wagner was engaged in a terror act to bring down the government.

b.) Normally Wagner finances his luxurious life with money of other people.   Of course, he will be persecuted, until finally Ludwig II pays his debts.

 

Ludwig II uses his authority and a great amount of money to serve the god of Wagner.   Ludwig’s engagement and his money should serve the Bavarian people.   But Ludwig does not serve the national deity, but a strange god, who initiates the Wagner’s visions with all possibilities.

This strange god is the false Prophet.

 

This chapter was titled: the Romantic and the 7th Head.

Now we can easily see, that the 7th Head does not trigger a Romantic, for he doesn’t give  any  visions.

But in connection with the spirit of the lie, on the basis of a beautified reality, a fictive reality, there will be awakened an enthusiasm for a new vision.   And this vision has the motto: “Without Judah and without Rome we will build the German Dom.”

 

After we have realized this terrible motto in Nazi-Germany, and we can hardly believe, that we did this, we have to accept, that we still live under this motto in certain aspects:  “Without Judah and without Rom we will build the German Dom.”   Even now, in 2017.

 

The lie continues: To interpret the Bible with the Historic-Critical-Method is a catastrophe.

( But also the Catholic Church does not dare to renounce the mariolatry.   Mary does not rule the world and the evil.   See deFrohna-Texts:   The pictures.)

 

Even in science people like to work with a fictive reality.   The intuition of the world, controlled by Math and the experiment, based on a meta-theory, is not taken seriously.   Was Albert Einstein really the last scientist?

Science fiction leads our mainstream.   Big Bang and Evolution.   And they want us to believe this all!

 

                                                                                  * * * * *

Wagner’s influence on the German soul, the “Germania“, has reached a tremendous extend.   This is not a variety of our cultural taste.   It is finally here the capture of the German soul by demonic powers.

 

Further up in this chapter we could see the allegories, where Italy and Germany were friends. (1828)

But Italy followed another way than Germany.   The operas “Nabucco” and “La Traviata” i.e. gave honor to the God of Israel.

 

And those operas of Verdi have been very popular in those days.   And they still are.

 

                                                                                   * * * * *

The memorial of the Battle of Leipzig.

 

 

 In 1913 this memorial to the Battle of Leipzig has been inaugurated.   It has not been built by the initiative of a ruler, but by the initiative of the citizens of Leipzig.

 

Hundred years before, 1813, there was the battle against Napoleon.   It is a memorial for the “German Hero”.
