[[I never really liked Nietzsche because I became acquainted with him from Fans of Nietzsche who kept Quoting Phrases to me that seemed at best Suspect n at worst Corny. It is only when I started reading Heidegger's Nietzsche that I began to appreciate Nietzsche's true Greatness]]

z 4 “Confrontation” is genuine criticism. It is the supreme way, the only way, to a true estimation of a thinker. In confrontation we undertake to reflect on his thinking and to trace it in its effective force, not in its weakness. To what purpose? In order that through the confrontation we ourselves may become free for the supreme exertion of thinking.  [[rr10æhh]]

z 5 … At the outset, we ought to introduce some words of Nietzsche’s that stem from the time of his work on “will to power“! “For many, abstract thinking is toil; for me, on good days, it is feast and frenzy” (XIV, 24). [[rr01æhh. Philosophy like Mystical Texts have for me less to do with "Words" & more to do with d State of Consciousness that they put me in. For Example in Music is it d Words or Music that enraptures us or is it d State of Consciousness that they evoke in us?]]
Abstract thinking a feast? The highest form of human existence? Indeed. But at the same time we must observe how Nietzsche views the essence of the feast, in such a way that he can think of it only on the basis of his fundamental conception of all being, will to power. “The feast implies: pride, exuberance, frivolity; mockery of all earnestness and respectability; a divine affirmation of oneself, out of animal plenitude and perfection–all obvious states to which the Christian may not honestly say Yes. The feast is paganism par excellence” (WM, 916). For that reason, we might add, the feast of thinking never takes place in Christianity. That is to say, there is no Christian philosophy. There is no true philosophy that could be determined anywhere else than from within itself. For the same reason there is no pagan philosophy, inasmuch as anything “pagan” is always still something Christian —the counter-Christian, The Greek poets and thinkers can hardly be designated as “pagan.”

Fellow spiritual Traveler

I miss spending time with you. Your POV of reality is always refreshing and in some ways grounding. Don’t worry that you rant. This is normal for someone who is seeing more than the average person who is not immersed in the “they”* world.

The problem is possession, the state when we are being hypnotized by someone or something. This some THING, THIS SEIEND* can be so called “real”, unreal, paranoiac, fantasy ‘the truth’ etc. but they are all just Matrixes that limit us if we can not step out of them. Chess is a Matrix of Possibilities. I spent periods of my life where nothing else existed. It helped me deal with the “they” world by giving me a refuge to heal. Eventually I had to step out of the Chess Matrix and deal with the “they” Matrix. To say that the Chess Matrix is less real than the ‘they’ Matrix is missing the point. I can play chess whenever I want and I can play the ‘they’ Matrix when NEEDED. It is the skill through spiritual discipline to play in whatever sandbox that allows you to unfold to your true spiritual destiny. Carl Jung found himself buying and being obsessed with Alchemy Books. He asked: ‘Where these just medieval rants that purported to find mystical recipes that could change lead into gold or change gross matter into the elixir of life?’ The Alchemy Matrix had possessed Jung. When he was given the key to Alchemy by Richard Wilhelm in the book ‘THE SECRET OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER’ the obsession only increased but the possession decreased. He was becoming more aware, more conscious and this put him on a higher level of consciousness that allowed him to exorcise the possession with his new found genius. To say possession is always wrong of course depends if it is part of your spiritual unfolding or enslavement. Jung kept himself sane through his spiritual discipline of Depth Psychology and in troth with the process of awakening. Jung called this the individuation process and some like Abraham Maslow have called it Self-Actualizing. The alchemist could of called it working on their Magnum Opus. The Hindu’s call it Yoga, the Chinese call it the Tao, New Agers call it Enlightenment. People who hold Troth with AbenLand call it God, Gott, Goth, Gote, Xot, etc. (X=G in Xot Language) In this Xoting, this quickening, we come to know we are more than any one matrix or combination of matrixes we are the ground of these matrixes that surpassed all restrictions of time and space. Unfortunately Judeo-Christianity has high jacked these sacred words and bastardized them to such extend we are hostile and alien to them.

Each matrix is a sand box and we are children destined for endless play. When young wolves play are they just playing or are they embracing their true nature. Friend do not be afraid to play! – just develop the discipline so that you can remember which sandbox you are in. Keeping a daily Xoting Journal is imperative for you surviving the storms of the Xoting and the “they” world. The Genie or Genius has been activated and there is no way to put it back into the bottle of the ‘they’ Matrix. Yes the truth Friend is that if you can develop the disciplines that are needed you are destined for a dance of endless play and bliss that leads to the Immortality of XotHood.

FOOTNOTES:
SEIEND:
In German, Heidegger is distinguishing Sein (the verb-derived abstract noun corresponding to ‘being’ in English) from Seiend, the German gerund of the verb sein (‘to be’). In English, however, the gerund of ‘to be’ is also ‘being’. To preserve Heidegger’s distinction, translators usually render ‘Seiend’ as ‘a being’ or ‘beings,’ and occasionally as ‘entity’. REF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_and_Time#Endnotes

“THEY”:
This “who” of “everyday” Dasein is the “they” [das Man], which is characterized by distantiality, averageness and levelling down and constitutes “publicness.” The “they” is both everybody and nobody “to whom every Dasein has already surrendered itself in Being-among-one-another.” The “they-self” is the “not itself” of Dasein to be distinguished from authentic Dasein. Authentic Being-one’s-Self, therefore, is an existentiell modification of the “they” as an essential existentiale, and, therefore, the former is the more primordial disclosure of Dasein.
