[138] If we step out into the open, our horizon expands dramactically. […] …the infinity of historical existence.

The lightning has passed, but the vision remains. Our generation, and perhaps many to come, will live in a world that was revealed by this vision. In a religious history such events are usually termed revelations. […] Of course, we would not be human if we did not search for the Promised Land along different roads. The fierce struggle between worldviews which is raging around us revolves basically interpretations of the revelation.

It was not the desert sands, the ruins of Nineveh and Babylon, Peru's shabby splendour, the fragmentation of Genghis Khan's massive empire, the collapse of the Arab Empire or the dissolution of peoples, empires and races to which they pointed when hailing the iron law of the historical […]

With this, a new era in the history of our soul has begun. Not in the sense that … Spengler […] The new age will measure time differently: the history of humanity on Earth is about the creation and destruction of races, the long history of humanity, and the most recent episode, the brief time that has passed since then and which is generally called world history, almost forces us to recognise the span of infinity. (…) … every philosophising soul is becoming more or less conscious [of this new way to see time and history] but which is also germinating in the simplest men, will prove to be one of the most important legacies of the generation of the world war.
