How To Become A Free Spirit - Friedrich Nietzsche (Existentialism)

In this video we will talk about how to become a free spirit from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. In line with the theory of existentialism, Friedrich Nietzsche preached about the importance of being a free spirit.

Friedrich Nietzsche is one of the precursors of existentialism, which emphasized the idea that the human being is a free and responsible agent, capable of determining his own actions in life through acts of will. He was one of the greatest and most unusual philosophers and in line with the theory of existentialism, he preached about the importance of being a free spirit. According to Nietzsche, a free spirit is someone who is able to be in charge of his own actions, who is capable of formulating his own worldview, free of prejudices and social norms, who is not dependent on his relationships with other people, and who has the courage to be authentic and fight against the tyranny of popular beliefs. According to Nietzsche, only by becoming a free spirit, would you be able to enjoy this life to the fullest and become who you truly are. So to help you become that true free spirit, here are 8 lessons that you can learn from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche -
01. Become a master over yourself
02. Think differently
03. Learn to live with contradictions
04. Be an experimenter
05. Fight against tyranny
06. Be authentic
07. Be joyful
08. Do not get attached to people and things

We hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope this video helps you in becoming a free spirit.

Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, poet, essayist, and cultural critic. He is considered to be one of the most daring and greatest thinkers of all time. His writings on truth, morality, language, aesthetics, cultural theory, history, nihilism, power, consciousness, and the meaning of existence have exerted an enormous influence on Western philosophy and intellectual history. He was one of the biggest precursors of existentialism, which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent, determining their own development through acts of will. By his famous words “God is dead!”, Nietzsche moved the focus of philosophy from metaphysics to the material world and to the individual as a responsible person for his own life. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote several books like The Birth of a Tragedy, Human, All Too Human, The Dawn, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, The Will to Power, The Antichrist, and many more. His teachings have shaped the lives of many people; from psychologists to poets, dancers to social revolutionaries.

I’m a big fan of Friedrich Nietzsche who teaches us to be authentic in whatever we do.

I love this, thank you. It pretty much falls into what I believe. The world would be a much more peaceful place if more people have the freedom to simply be themselves. Free-thinking people are naturally immune to those who wish to control us by misinformation and dogmatism.

Becoming detached from people or things is a great attribute of being free 🤗

Fighting free speech in democracy, you're not defending democracy, you're transforming it into autocracy. They only speech that should be fought is one that is directly purported against free speech itself.

There is a slim line between genus and madness. While seeking to have a good mastery of youself ensure not to indulge in actions that inhibits others possibility of attaining thesame goal; that's where madness play.

Thank you for a genuine journey down Nietzche lane.

I am surprisingly highly able to relate with uncanny clarity to the expressions of this man. Maybe through having taken this journey, my self, down a path that was uncannily similar to the one as described by Nietzche, or perhaps more likely, having taken our own similar journies down this path of authenticity to self, I find I am experiencing a level of respect for the intent of the authors as I perceive it that I hesitate (because I tend to drift toward sometimes a flat-out hostile seeming tone, becoming extensively verbose, now that I think of it...)

I found enough really helpful questions to be able to ask myself that come from an unusual "direction", for me, that I hadn't yet considered the possible capability to contemplate. So I am excited, and thank you so much!

Especially after watching a few videos on Nietzsche, I just sort of got used to hearing narrators (or writers. I generally listen as though the narrator is the author of the material being spoken, though) that communicated a perspective that could only have known the actual wisdom of Nietsche from a more 2nd person-type knowledge understanding of it if they did at all.

Overly simple example: If you have seen all colors "normally" except green, but you have been taught, through believing a source that became known as a teacher, that blue and yellow make green, then a 2nd person-type understanding of what green is has become perceived to be the color green, with greater automaticity-of-thought when this information becomes assimilated into the subconscious as " that which is green" (as the never-seen product of blue and yellow.)

This video caught my attention fairly quickly, as it seems the narrator genuinely has come to understand the wisdom of what Neitzche expresses. So if that is the case, holy shit I hope we communicate with each other at some time.

I feel I may have dove even more deeply inwardly than Nietzche, and through the grace of the infinite eternal now, I endured my way back to center without having gone literally insane. There was more than one moment when I had a feeling that reminded me that where I was "at" in my "belief structure", and the more-painful journey back to center (for me) that I had the pleasure to anticipate being able to look up at my perception of myself like I never knew I could or how. Like... on a level where if someone asked me who I am, I could have quite happily replied "I do not know" at that point, because I did not and was somehow ok with it. I had become able to ride a wave of this "dance" that Nietzche speaks of. (And I love that his description is also dance, as this is one of the metaphors that, depending on how it becomes described and what it is thought to possibly mean from a more 2nd person knowledge perspective of having learned truths about dance from another who has seen authentic dance.

Which, turns out, is not only really fuckin difficult to even describe, but the process of attempting to come up with how to describe what has already been described literally infinity many times, already, through literally every expression ever perceived that became observed in order to become perceived, and then witnessed as the experience that can be whittled down to "dance".

And when the queue in my mind passes an action-potential threshold, I simply must express a response. That queue in my mind with an unpronounceable name because it is all pronounced simultaneously with a name that means "OMG I can totally offer a clarifying perspective for this beautiful soul to consider from a different perspective with authenticity. I wonder if they would be as excited to communicate with me as I am them such that I can receive clarification from them") Your video highly suggests yes.

Being able to communicate without bipolarities stuck in the subconscious unresolved is just.... There literally is no such thing as the combinations of words that can express it. Because it turns out that interaction of any type is just utterly incapable of being adequately communicated.

And it can be seen. <3

That first step is one hell of a doozy. And if one were to "recover" to a state of consciously self-perceived superiority or inferiority (For instance, if you come back to center and believe you have a high self-esteem or a low self-esteem) it can be nearly impossible to become ethically motivated to take a journey such as the authentic journey inwardly again.

(**Ralph Wiggam Chuckle** I'm in Danger!)


Through a strict self-adherence to remaining consciously authentic to truth (if you've never tried an inward journey, it is shockingly soon that remaining authentic to truth leads one away from the directions they had ever thought before having decided to journey inward with authenticity to truth and honesty consciously maintained.

A process that will provide the "warning, you're about to literally perceive the sky is falling" enough times to be a fair warning. Make no mistake, this shit will literally land you in a loony bin just turning one's conscious attention in the direction of taking the first step and then trying to turn back. If you are not sure you are going to walk your path to "get" to what will basically amount to what is accurately describable as ego death.

So, authenticity to truth, love, forgiveness, compassion will all be put "to the test". An almost never appropriately utilized phrase that usually denotes whether one is going to be triumphant or become defeated in an "important" external competition. The entire nature of this test is either quite clarifying or quite clarifying to you but will render you unable to relate to others on levels you will not be able to be aware that you need to be until you can't.
