the second element in the destructive influences of judaism depends on the part played in israel by the race of the levantine (armenoid) man, the man of redemption, and his psychological structure, described by gnther and especially by clauss. this man is characterized by the dualism of body and mind. the body is now only the instrumentalized expression of the spirit, but understood as flesh, as guilt-ridden materiality, from which one must be redeemed. this confused striving towards redemption can fail: then this type of man, falling back, sinks into matter, takes pleasure in it and is intoxicated, as if to forget his true nature. he then will tend to contaminate everything towards which he once strove, all the higher values he was unable to reach. he takes delight in every crisis where he can see a reflection of his own inner crisis. he takes pleasure in everything that expresses the omnipotence of this filthy and oblique materiality into which he fell back. he uses that omnipotence as an alibi, as a justification.
