Mathilde Ludendorff was trying to build a scientific religion.  Because of this she rejected all forms of miracles and said that the laws of science were unrestricted.  Ludendorff said miracles would show that god had not created the universe perfectly from the beginning and needed to interfere with the natural processes of nature.  She also stated, which I cannot grasp: "On this unexceptionable validity of the laws of nature rests the possibility of a consciousness in the phenomenon, for it is the prerequisite for the cognition of the environment."  She seems to be saying natural phenomena is self-aware but can only remain self-aware if the laws of physics are not abandoned, consciousness depends on causality, even in humans.

In line with today's scientific worldview, Mathilde Ludendorff assumes that the laws of nature are unrestricted. Neither God nor any saints can abolish or break these laws.

"A repeal of these laws as an exception, as a miracle, would be the proof of his (meaning God's) own imperfection, because of the need for improvement, and the proof of fickleness." ...

Fortunately, the universe of the primordial worlds teaches us, and the individual phenomena of later stages of creation prove to us, that such imperfection is far removed from the phenomenal world. They preach to us the relentless and indiscriminate application of the law, regardless of the side effects, which are therefore all intentional. On this unexceptionable validity of the laws of nature rests the possibility of a consciousness in the phenomenon, for it is the prerequisite for the cognition of the environment."

Can Mathilde Ludendorff's philosophy stand up to today's science? She said the divine enters the physical universe and becomes subject to the laws of physics, thus Ludendorff's "Knowledge of God" is idolatry. But believed the "divine" started outside time and space
