"We often have to look back centuries for the origins of ideas that have shaken the world, how they are constantly suppressed and forgotten but again – without perceptible inner context – suddenly flame up again as if born anew to gain final victory.
This esoterically explains the exoteric promise of Valhalla, as well as its fulfilment: the warriors of Valhalla who fall as sacrifices for their ideas, whether on the battlefield, at the stake, or by starvation – the sacrifices of the modern excommunicant, of the boycotted heroes of the spirit – all find in the conviction of their martyrdom that allconquering bliss and in life after death that state of happiness which determines their next human incarnation and which leads them to a renewed heroid career and to final victory.
This is the promised Valhalla: heroic providence in future epochs of life in renewed human bodies".
