First you have to
deny the god in me, then I’ll come
back. Zarathustra about generous virtue.
But he comes back
earlier; to save his teachings.
Zarathustra returns
to the mountains. First when he dreams about a child that shows him a mirror he
decides to go down again. In the mirror he sees a laughing devil
He knows that his
teachings are in danger
Zarahustra want to
give his knowledge like ripe dadles
He states that gods
are only a fantasy, he would like human fantasy to be only their creative mind
Zarathustra claims
that shame is a feeling of those who worship gods.
He prefers loving
oneself and being creative. To feel pity for others is admitting to weakness.
But in his view
creators are hard.
Zarathustra hates and
loves at the same time priests.
He recognizes a lot
of himself in them, only they chose to waste their talents. Their devotion is a
stealthy weapon full of hatred, they want others to suffer as they did.
Zarathustra claims
punishment and reward are only concepts invented by the virtuous ones.
He claims there is no
reward for those who create, exept the creation itself.
The virtuous one are
in the same way only payed by the virtue they themselves picture to be godlike.
Zarathustra meets
rotting and stinking. That means that on the paradise-like island (life) most
wells became poisoned.
He wants to be like a
strong wind, and clean what became muddy.
Zarathustra states
that preachers of Compromise are like poisonous snakes to him.
He denies compromise (dualism),
as killer of creativity.
Zarathustra states
that famous fashionable prophets only serve prejudice and not truth. And they
are paid for serving truth
Zarathustra
celebrates night, because continuous being Light is not easy. For a while he
himself would like to suck the breast of light.
In the evening
Zarathustra walks with through the forest, with the young people that listen to
his teachings. One evening they meet a dancing girl.
Zarathustra is
touched by the faerie-like dancing, and sad when they have to leave.
Zarathustra honors
the dead. He states that willpower is stronger than death. But death is needed
to continue life.
Zarathustra states
that the driving force in life is Will to Power. Not knowledge is the goal of
life but power.
And this secret told
life to him. Look, it said, I’m that which always has to conquer itself.
Zarathustra states
that to feel Erhaben is quite different from to be Erhaben. You have to leave
the hero in yourself to be a ‘superhero’.
Zarathustra pleads
for staying in the present, instead of flying in past or future. Honor the past
and let yourself be drawn by future. But accept yourself.
Zarathustra loves
life like the sun.
And he admits: I want
to bring everything (everybody) to my level.
Zarathustra loves
children but doesn’t want to be only a wise scientist to them. He doesn’t
ambiate to be a preacher of science.
Their kind of wisdom
is seen by him as only vanity. He prefers the uncertainty of freedom instead
instead of the safety of being a god of knowledge.
Zarathustra states
that poets worship anything but themselves. That way they become the defenders
of gods.
“The earth”, says
Zarathustra, has a skin; and is skin illnesses. One such ilness is the human
being.
Humans created
myths, instead of true stories. Zarathustra states that he couldn’t find one
true myth.
The most
recent myths became the states.
Fortune speakers
seems to Zarathustra only pessimistic. He says: “the Fortune speaker must eat
and drink at my side. I’ll show him an ocean in which he may drown himself.
Zarathustra states
that being disabled becomes a new destiny, and not something to try to escape.
So don’t expect him to show pity, because creative disabled minds deserve
better than pity.
But of course
disabled people create their own language, and have to be communicated with in
that language.
Zarathustra states
that the last human smartness makes him fight between the hights of his creative
mind and the depth of human weaknesses.
His final weakness is
being curious after humanity.
Zarathustra is struck
by sadness to have to say goodbye too his human friends. He cries openly and
loudly. Nobody can help him. But at night he goes alone and departs his
friends.
