I warn you Serious Seekers out there that, after you read this, you may be sorry but in your sadness your should remember that...
“Those who forget history are condemned to
repeat it” is attributed to the American philosopher George Santayana and it
can be accurately quoted as “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned
to repeat it” as stated in his work, The Life
of Reason : Reason in Common.”
I have a very big book entitled, Chronicle of the 20th century. On page 475 of 1,374 there is this small article (they are all small articles) that contains a Big Warning to us smug moderns who say to ourselves, “We would never do something like that. That’s crazy. We are smarter than that.”
Unless you have been living under a rock and watching nothing but the comings and goings of celebrities and, of course, football you should know that History Is Slowly Trying To Repeat Itself.
Here is the article. Don’t skim it. Read it slowly. Let it sink in...
Nazis Take Parents Away From Children
November 29, 1937. In
Waldenberg, Germany, a court has taken parents away from their children because
they refused to teach them Nazi ideology. The parents are pacifists, members of
a Christian sect called International Bible Researchers. The court accused them
of creating an environment where the children would grow up “enemies of the
state”. The children were delivered into the state’s care.
The judge delivered a lengthy statement reading in part., “The law as a racial and national instrument entrusts German parents with the education of their children only under certain conditions, namely, that they educate them in the fashion that the nation and state expect”.
