What really happens is the “god image” becomes Psychological not Metaphysical, it is not to be found any longer in the outer world : “Nietzsche said ‘God is dead’ [but] did not realize.. in saying this he was still standing within the dogma, for Christ’s death is one of the secret mysteries of Christianity.. He meant God has come to an end.. & had no successor, [that] something very unusual had happened to the world. He did not realize he was God’s successor! When his psychosis overcame him he signed his letters: The Crucified, Dionysos, or Zagreus who was also a dismembered God, he.. fulfilled this fate himself.”
“Thy soul shall be dead even sooner than thy body.” (the Rope Dancer, Zarathustra).
