do you know the story behind thus spake zathursa?

Answer 1

fred nietzche channeled zara....and in less than a weekend (at a bed and breakfast) the fred...wrote many pages filled with gibberish..(think of the transcripts of some of the really schizophrenic people..i.e. word salad, neologisms and oddities of speech) BUT, sprinkled among the gibberish were 'aphorisms'...little nuggets of (one liner) quasi truths...and, once published, the fred was in the limelight.


At any rate, fred was NOT a very good philosopher, at his height. And, once the syphilis rotted his brain, (rather, as it rotted his brain) fred wrote "ecche homo?"...which is incontrovertible evidence that he was deranged.

But, some have lionized fred...(the nihlists, the nazi's, the psuedo intelligentsia) probably because that is the nature of the faustian bargain...the evil one promises immortality (of a sort)....Think of Jesus' temptation: "this world, its empires and glory are mine to give to whom I will"
(who said that?)...And Jesus countered with "no, only worship and serve the Living God".

Wanna know a secret about zarathus....??? Hint: 650 before Christ, in persia....

Finally, the fred hated his mother and Jesus and Christianity. He lived --rather, was taken care of by his mother for the last 11 years of his life; after the syphilis (and channeling bad spirits) made him go totally insane.

Is this what you were seeking??
