The VirtuousOthers are
proud of their modicum of
righteousness, and for the sake of it do violence to all
things: so that the Earth is drowned in their unrighteousness.
Ah! how ineptly cometh the word "virtue" out of their mouth!
And when they say: "I am just," it always soundeth like: "I am
justly revenged!"
With their
virtues they want to scratch out the eyes of their enemies;
and they
elevate themselves only that they may lower others.
And again there
are those who sit in their swamp, and speak thus from among the
bullrushes: "Virtue - that is to sit quietly in the swamp. We
bite no one, and go out of the way of him who would bite; and in all
matters we have the opinion that is given us."
And again there are
those who adore
attitudes, and think that virtue is a sort of attitude.
Their knees continually adore, and their hands are eulogies of
virtue, but their heart knoweth naught thereof.
There are
those who regard it virtue to say:
"Virtue is necessary";
but, after all is said and done,
they believe only policemen are
necessary.
Thus Spake Zarathustra
A madman runs into a
marketplace crying incessantly,
"I
seek God!
I
seek God!"
This action
provokes laughter from the men in the
marketplace who do not
believe in God.
In jest, they ask the
madman whether God
is lost, hiding, or
traveling on a voyage.
With piercing vision, the madman confronts his tormentors with
this announcement:
"God is dead.
God remains dead.
And we have killed
God."
Insanity in individuals is something
rare - in groups it is the rule
Speaking generally,
punishment hardens and
numbs, it produces obstinacy, it sharpens the sense of
alienation and
strengthens the power of résistance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
From 1880 until his collapse in January 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche
led a wandering existence as a stateless individualwriting his major works.
The initial symptoms of Friedrich Nietzsche's
breakdown, as evidenced in
the letters he sent to his friends in the few days of lucidity remaining to
him, bear many similarities to
the ecstatic writings of
religious mystics.
Friedrich Nietzsche's letters describe
a religious
breakthrough.
Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica reconsiders the
death of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who is commonly thought to have died
of neurosyphilis.
The story of Nietzsche having caught syphilis from
prostitutes was actually concocted after the Second World War by Wilhelm
Lange-Eichbaum, an academic who was one of Nietzsche's most vociferous critics.
Jewish intellectuals were keen to demolish the reputation of
Nietzsche.
They claimed Nietzsche came up with the concept of "Übermensch" to underpin
Nazism when the
idea of the Chosen People
is universal.
In the late 19th century more than 90 per cent of those
with advanced syphilis rapidly declined and died within five years of
diagnosis.
Nietzsche, in contrast, lived for another 11 years.
Acta
Psychiatrica Scandinavica suggests that Nietzsche suffered from a type of
dementia that specifically affects
the frontal and
temporal lobes.
Other studies of medical records suggest that
Friedrich Nietzsche almost certainly died of
a slowly-developing brain
tumor.
"Nietzsche was not antiSemitic or a nationalist, and hated
the herd mentality" - Stephen Houlgate, Nietzsche scholar at Warwick
University.
Friedrich Nietzsche was heavily influenced by
Arthur Schopenhauer.
Schopenhauer theorized
that humans living in the realm of objects
are living in the realm of desire, and thus are
eternally tormented by that desire.
That drive was defined by Arthur
Schopenhauer as the inherent drive within humans beings, and indeed all
creatures, to stay
alive and to reproduce.
Schopenhauer believed art could jar common thought out
of its limited, individual prespective into a
direct sense of the
universal (metaphysics).
Nietzsche's hypothesis of the human
condition to some extent left out the
social engineering
variable by assuming that
the herd willing accepts its role.
Most of the time they are born
into it and quite simply see no other way.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.

This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational
gnostic mystery
religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no
tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every
individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and
Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing
the spiritual
corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of
the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web
site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious
beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site in no way
condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence
that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to
control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the
world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global industrial
military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals,
the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global
ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation does
not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values have
declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
