A DANGEROUS FORM OF BELIEF: AN ANALYSIS OF ALFRED ROSENBERG’S MYTHUS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY AS AN EXAMPLE OF A MODERN FORM OF RELIGION by BLAINE JEFFREY PAULING
Rosenberg resists any notion of magic because by definition it constitutes an extra- or super-natural force. He directly associates the Catholic and Jewish “despotism of magic” (Trans. Pois 1970: 115) with the doctrine of creation ex nihilo by a supernatural deity. As I explain in the next section, he is resistant to the intrusion of any sort of force that is not natural to a person or the world itself, regarding any notion of such forces as an example of slavish dependence on the external. In a discussion of how the Syrian-Near Eastern corruption of Christianity altered the original Trinity of the generative father principle, the productive earth mother and produced son, by replacing the mother with the ‘Holy Ghost’, Rosenberg calls this a “conscious rejection of the physical” (Pois 1970: 71). He also dismisses the ‘dogmatic assertion’ of the Virgin Birth as an attack on the natural and even calls this supposedly ‘factual’ Resurrection a point of departure for Christianity because it took as dogma that physically impossible (Pois 1970: 71-72)
