And unlike as Nietzsche is to Blavatsky, if only from the fact that Blavatsky, in respect of what is called the modern education of the day, was really more or less of an uneducated woman, whereas Nietzsche stood at the top of modern culture; yet, unlike as they otherwise were in the whole character of their souls, in this respect they present a remarkable similar-ity: that the orientation of both is eminently anti-christian. And it would be nothing short of superficial, my dear friends, if one did not make at least some enquiry into the reason of this anti-christian orientation in these two persons. One gets, however, no answer, without going somewhat deeper into the matter.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fourth Lecture","site_heading":"Blavatsky's Legacy and the Christian Path Forward","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Das ist Nietzsche. Man kann schon nicht mehr antichristlich orientiert sein, als es der Verfasser des «Antichrist» war. So unähnlich Nietzsche der Blavatsky ist - und schon dadurch, daß Blavatsky mehr oder weniger in bezug auf das, was man heute moderne Bildung nennt, eigentlich eine ungebildete Frau war, während Nietzsche auf den Höhen der Bildung stand -, so unähnlich sie sonst waren in der ganzen Haltung ihrer Seelen, darinnen zeigen sie eine merkwürdige Ähnlichkeit, daß sie eben eminent antichristlich orientiert sind. Es wäre durchaus eine Oberflächlichkeit, wenn man nach dem Grunde dieser antichristlichen Orientierung bei den beiden Persönlichkeiten gar nicht fragen wollte.
