The Saviors of God
''Ascesis: The Saviors of God'' (Greek and Latin: . ラテン語:''Salvatores dei'') is a series of "spiritual exercises" written by Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis. It was first written between 1922 and 1923, while staying in Vienna and Berlin, and subsequently published in 1927 in the Athenian magazine ''Anayennisi'' (''Renaissance''). The text was later revised on various occasions and reached its final state in 1944.〔(Page on ''Askitiki'' from the Nikos Kazantzakis Museum Foundation website )〕
==Presentation==
The author first presents a prologue. Given the sacred tone of the book, which strives to go beyond philosophy and metaphysics, this introduction is better understood as an admonition. The first words summarize the undercurrent of ''The Saviors of God'': "We came from an abyss of darkness; we end in an abyss of darkness: the interval of light between one and another we name life."
Kazantzakis thought that there are two streams in life: the first one runs toward ascesis, synthesis, life and immortality, while the second one runs towards dissolution, matter, death. However, both streams are part of the universe, and being so, sacred. One of Kazantzakis' main concerns was what force drives the uncreated to the created. As opposition seems to be intrinsic to life and infinite, human beings should strive to ascend to a harmonic view of these oppositions, to be a guide for thought and action.
