But God's ways are higher than man's ways, neither are his thoughts man's thoughts; and He will have schemes for the salvation of the world, which are utterly beyond my imagination. Nevertheless in my experience, believing that this small step forward in man's progress was possible provided me with the means of achieving technical and professional mastery at the same time as overcoming evil, and not as subscribing to evil. So I believe that it provides the answer to Wagner's conundrum in Gotterdammerung, when he made Siegfried betray Brunnhilde, after so much talk of loyalty and indwelling, in order to survive in a modern commercial secular world. It provides the answer to the question posed by Goethe, when he made Faust marry Helen of Troy. Of course human romantic love is likely to be hopelessly inadequate when faced with adversity. But an indwelling between people need not be inadequate - need not lead to betrayal – if linked to an indwelling with the Divine. And the chapters that follow are proof, if any were needed, that in my adult manhood I attempted to put these beliefs into practice.
