Neitzche and God - The shallowness of the society is not affected by the deep contents of awe before God
Founder of
The Noahide World Center,
Rabbi Oury 'Amos Cherki -
What is it, 'to know God'?
There're those who say 'I believe in existence of power above', kind of shallowness like that. Yes, Rabbi Avraham HaCohen Kook says - this too, the definition of God looks ridiculous, correct? Because they haven't learned it in depth.
Again we feel here the intellectual streams of the Rabbi's time,
that are revolting against the belief in God.
Among many, the Positivism and also, our acquainted from primordial days, Nietzsche, and also many others who saw in the definition of God a kind of fiction, overburdening the human soul. And that humanity has to release from it, not to do with the awe before God, but the very essence of the definition of God, looks like a heavy stone, that it is possible to live much better without putting it into consciousness.
There's such a position, so Rabbi Kook says, it's because they didn't learn it properly.
Yes, Nietzsche our acquainted, after saying the sentence that shocked everyone, he said...
Do You want shocking quotes, or is that forbidden? Ok we'll keep it between us, don't tell others, Nietzsche said "God is dead, I was at His funeral"...whoaah... So much that there went a joke once, that Zarathustra received a letter, in which it's written that "Nietzsche is dead", yes, and signed by God.
However, in any way Nietzsche meant something serious, when he said "god is dead"
he meant that this perception went and relinquished from the world.
But in his book 'The Dawn of Day', so said Nietzsche, "the world is going through changes,
and the God of Israel, the ancient of days, stands to return to His nation and His world,
and we shall all rejoice in His joy."
If so, what meant Nietzsche?
He meant that the small perception of God has died, and there's a need to clear for it some deeper comprehension of God, which he didn't know exactly to define, but is in the hidden of our Torah.
Yes, I just want to remind what is known from some prayer books, people sometimes read the 'Opening of Elyahu', right? Before the prayer what is said in that opening
Ribbon 'Almin D'ant Hu Had V'la Bhushban, the Master of the worlds, You're One - but it's not a number.
Correct?
'Leit Mahashavah Tefisah Bach Klal',
there's no thought that can comprehend God.
Conclusion - the Atheists are correct,
when they refuse to accept a defined concept of Godliness.
