“It was good of Friedrich Nietzsche to declare God dead – I declare that
he has never been born. It is a created fiction, an invention, not a
discovery. Do you understand the difference between invention and
discovery? A discovery is about truth, an invention is manufactured by
you. It is man-manufactured fiction. Certainly it has given consolation,
but consolation is not the right thing! Consolation is opium. It keeps
you unaware of the reality, and life is flowing past you so quickly –
seventy years will be gone soon. Anybody who gives you a belief system
is your enemy, because the belief system becomes the barrier for your
eyes, you cannot see the truth. The very desire to find the truth
disappears. But in the beginning it is bitter if all your belief systems
are taken away from you. The fear and anxiety which you have been
suppressing for millennia, which is there, very alive, will surface
immediately. No God can destroy it, only the search for truth and the
experience of truth – not a belief – is capable of healing all your
wounds, of making you a whole being. And the whole person is the holy
person to me”
