'One must be able to see many convictions behind oneself, beneath oneself, conviction as a means. The great guide for man must be Grand Passion, which uses, and uses up convictions' Wow

Nietzsche has opened my eyes in a way I never thought I would, or could, or ought to. He had delivered me a purpose, no, US a purpose, the greatest purpose that all mankind must uphold in order to bring back order to society. My only question now is how?

[jags]

every single word is a tonic of true immortality

[nadjiguemarful]

He almost lost me at around 2:34:00 When he was disparaging of conviction, but then he spoke of conviction as a MEANS and tool for the Soul, or what he calls the "grand passion", here he's talking about Emersons "over-Soul", and he got me right back lol. I really love this guy lol what a great man, the way he expressed these things in a way that makes them close, those truths that return you to your most rectified being. He did a great service to the world. He would have been a prophet in earlier times and his work has been just as misused as any of them lmao so he has that brand of honor

[orestislazanakis]

This would have made perfect sense if aimed at the corrupt and mostly papist/late-reformist kind of heresy.

" Friedrich Nietzsche or others are tremendously important, but they are not one with the whole. On the contrary, they are super-egoists - particularly Nietzsche. I love him, too. He has a tremendous insight into things; great revelations have come through his mind. And he's the one most neglected all over the world - perhaps out of fear, because once you are deep into Nietzsche, you cannot be the same person you have been before. Nietzsche is going to change you .His thoughts are rational; his insights have no parallel in the whole history of philosophy but still, he is not a meditator. It is all mind.

And this is the distinction I would like you to remember: There have been two types of influences in the world, people who have changed millions of lives. One belongs to the mind - all the philosophers, all the thinkers; they have great genius as far as mind is concerned. They have impressed millions of people for thousands of years and they are still fresh. But there is an different line of people like Gautam Buddha, Bodhidharma, Jesus Christ, Lao Tzu - these are not philosophers. What they are saying is not coming from the mind. It is coming from beyond the mind. They have put the mind aside. To understand them, just intellect is not enough. To understand them, you will have to go on the same path as they traveled

.Mind goes nowhere. All philosophers are playing with words. Sometimes there is immense beauty even in words, great poetry, logic, that you cannot deny. Nietzsche, Hegel, Kant, Bertrand Russell, Jean Paul Sartre, Jaspers or Martin Heidegger are pinnacles of intellectuality. You are bound to be impressed - but you are not going to be transformed. And to be impressed is to be enslaved. Unless a transformation happens, your slavery goes on deeper and deeper.

Look at the life of Friedrich Nietzsche, not just his philosophical approaches towards reality. His life is one of utter misery. You would not like to be Friedrich Nietzsche if you knew his life. He lived absolutely alone, without friends, because he was such an egoist that to make friends with him was impossible. He was high above; you are just creeping on the ground. What friendship? - he does not consider you to be even a human being. He considers you as a subhuman species. And his whole philosophy is how to create the real human being which he used to call the 'superman.' But he himself was not even an ordinary man, what to say about a superman? - physically ugly... but that can be pardoned; he could not manage in his whole life to love a woman, because love to him was domination and nothing else. He wanted a servant, not a beloved - a slave to dance according to his tune. Looking at his life, one feels deep compassion. He lived his whole life alone with his sister. The sister sacrificed her own life because somebody was needed to take care of Nietzsche. And finally, he went mad. And remember, nobody goes mad suddenly. Madness is something that grows slowly until it is too much and everybody else becomes aware of it. He was mad from the very beginning, but it was not known; it was within the normal insanity of humanity. But soon, he crossed the line. In the end, even though he was declared mad, he had forgotten all his philosophy, he had not forgotten one thing - even in his madness.

And you will be surprised: what is that one thing? That one thing was that he would always sign his signature as "Anti-Christ, Friedrich Nietzsche." That "Anti-Christ" was the only thing that remained even in his madness. Not a single letter has he signed without writing "Anti-Christ" before his name. If he had been born in India, he would have been anti-Gautam Buddha; if he had been born in China, he would have been anti-Chuang Tzu. It doesn't matter, these names are not the point. Why was he anti-Christ? - because Christ is not a philosopher. Christ does not give any reasons for his assertions, he speaks on his own authority. He gives no arguments, there is no need. Because he feels the truth, he expresses it. He does not argue. In fact, only lies need arguments. You can see in any court, so many arguments....Truth is naked. Its very presence is enough to convince you. And if truth can not have self-validity and depends on arguments, it is not truth. Arguments may change. Somebody may be more logical than you are..

..Nietzsche is a great logician, a great philosopher, but he knows nothing of reality. All that he says is mind - guesses, inferences. Assumptions supported by argument may befool people but they cannot befool a man who knows. Nietzsche does not know. But he writes beautifully. He writes very consistently, he reaches to the very heights of argumentation. But these are not things of real, authentic value. The only thing valuable is experience, not argument. And Nietzsche is absolutely without any experience. He has never meditated, he has never been in his own being. He has never contacted the vast, beautiful universe that surrounds us. It is our womb. We are in it, continuously being nourished.

The West is rich as far as useless things are concerned and poor as far real values are concerned. Nietzsche was "Anti-Christ" for the simple reason that millions of people follow Jesus, and Jesus has not given a single argument to prove his philosophy. And to disprove his philosophy, Nietzsche goes on giving, one after another, hundreds of arguments - beautiful arguments, very refined arguments, but arguments are just arguments. You can go on arguing about love your whole life, but that will not give you the experience of love. The West has produced only philosophers. The East knows nothing of philosophy, it knows only mysticism. And mysticism is based on the simple phenomenon that experience needs no argument.

Experience is its own validity."

[vlangvling]

Nietzsche's statement about the hatred of the slave towards his master (or the exploited towards the exploiter) is directly linked to the falsness of the socio-democratic view that doesn't really want to change the ruller class at first (then litteraly becomes nothing at all...), resentment being inevitably linked to a reformist view that "WE" ARE condemned to be enslaved untill the end of "our" lives, therefore resentment will be our REVENGE... Nietzsche is not intelligent to the point where he would see that resentment is linked to defeatism, other name of "egalitarianism". There is no (or less) resentment for the one who can imagine himself being part of the power itself, in the form of communism, but Nietzsche purely ignored marxism...

The greatest fear of the Abrahamist haters is science.

The role of the acuser is present as a synbol in the bible.
