The VirtuousAnd others
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 just-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.
And again there are those
who regard it as virtue to say:
"Virtue is necessary";
but, after
all is said and done,
they believe only that
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."
"It is our nature to conform; it is a
force
which not many humans can successfully resist."
Samuel Langhorne Clemens
Speaking generally,
punishment hardens and
numbs, it produces obstinacy, it sharpens the sense of
alienation and
strengthens the power of résistance.
All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth
come only from the senses.
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct
him to hold in higher regard those who think and act alike than those who think
and act differently.
Friedrich Nietzsche
From 1880 until his collapse in January
1889, Friedrich Nietzsche led a wandering existence as a stateless individual,
writing most of his major works during this period.
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 his experience as a
religious breakthrough and he rejoices, rather than laments.
A paper published in Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica
reconsiders the insanity and 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 at the time were keen to
demolish the reputation of Nietzsche, who they claimed came up with the concept
of the "Superman" to underpin Nazism when
in fact the idea of the Chosen People
started in Judah.
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.
The
authors of the new study published in published in Acta Psychiatrica
Scandinavica suggest that Nietzsche died of frontotemporal dementia – 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,"
said Prof Stephen Houlgate, a Nietzsche scholar at Warwick University. "If this
new research gets rid of another misconception about him,
I'm delighted."
Friedrich Nietzsche was heavily influenced by
Arthur Schopenhauer.
Arthur 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 (this
parallels the dharma of Siddhartha
Gautama).
That drive was defined by
Arthur Schopenhauer as the inherent
drive within humans beings, and indeed all creatures, to stay
alive and to reproduce.
Arthur
Schopenhauer believed that through art the thinking
individual could be jarred out of
their limited, individual
prespective to feel a sense of the universal (metaphysics)
directly.
Nietzsche's hypothesis of the human condition to some
extent left out the
social engineering variable by assuming that the herd is willing to
accepts its role - most of
the time they are born into it and quite simply see no other
way.
There most definitely is a
pecking order mentality in that people will agree with powerful personalities
in the hope of currying those people's favor and many willing ride the force of
a personality wave regardless of moral concerns.
That is due
to the fact that these individuals basically owe their
increased material wealth
and power to their lack of empathy which gives them an operational
advantage.

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 cooperation. Cooperation 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.
