“Tradition reigns, the gospel of the blind adoration of what was and what is — God without a head.”
Light (1919), Ch. XX The Cult
Context: Tradition reigns, the gospel of the blind adoration of what was and what is — God without a head. Man's destiny is eternally blockaded by two forms of tradition; in time, by hereditary succession; in space, by frontiers, and thus it is crushed and annihilated in detail. It is the truth. I am certain of it, for I am touching it.
