Very good! Thank you so much! 88
This belongs here too. Without a strong foundation in faith, no warrior can thrive!
Blood:
You carry in your blood the holy inheritance of your fathers and forefathers. You do not
know those who have vanished in endless ranks into the darkness of the past. But they all
live in you and walk in your blood upon the earth that consumed them in battle and toil
and in which their bodies have long decayed.
Your blood is therefore something holy. In it your parents gave you not only a body, but your nature.
To deny your blood is to deny yourself. No one can change it. But each decides to grow the good that one has inherited and suppress the bad. Each is also given will and courage.
You do not have only the right, but also the duty to pass your blood on to your children, for you are a member of
the chain of generations that reaches from the past into eternity, and this link of the chain that you represent must do its part so that the chain is never broken.
But if your blood has traits that will make your children unhappy and burdens to the state, then you have
the heroic duty to be the last.
The blood is the carrier of life. You carry in it the secret of creation itself. Your blood is holy, for in it God’s will lives.
Race
Race means to be able to think in a certain way. He who has courage, loyalty and honor,
the mark of the German, has the race that should rule in Germany, even if he does not
have the physical characteristics of the “Nordic” race. The unity of the noble and a noble
body is the goal to which we strive. But we despise those whose noble body carries an
ignoble soul.
A variety of related European races have merged in Germany. One trunk
grew from these roots. Each race gave its best strength. Each contributed to the German
soul We Germans have a fighting spirit, a look to the horizon, the “desire to do a thing for
its own sake” of the Nordic race. Another racial soul gave us our cozy old cities and our
depth. Yet another racial soul gave us mastery of the magical realm of music. Yet another
gave us our ability to organize, and our silent obedience.
We can not hold it against anyone if he carries a variety of racial lines, for the German soul does as well, and
created out of it the immeasurable riches which it possesses above all other nations. The
greatness of our Reich grew out of this soul.
But the Nordic race must dominate in Germany and shape the soul of each German. It must win out in the breast of each individual. Today our ideal is not the artist or the citizen, but the hero.
Our highest treasure is the soul that we have been given. He who mixes his blood with that of foreign inferior races ruins the blood and soul that have been given to him to pass on in purity to
his children. He makes his children impure and miserable, and commits the greatest
crime that he as a National Socialist can commit.
But he who follows the laws of race fulfills the great commandment that only like should be brought together with like, keeping apart those things like fire and water which do not mix.
Faith
Faith springs from your deepest feelings. It is that knowledge for which there is no explanation through reason. In faith the soul sees a part of the world order. It has a sense of that which should be, and sees through its eyes
a part of the way that it should and can go. It knows that by going this way it fulfills
god’s command and is working toward the great work that is immeasurable, incomprehensible.
