Aphorisms – Beyond Nihilism….

Kevin Nebula Aphorisms, Art and Culture, Philosophy, Writing , , , ,

1
Philosopher, definition: Lover of wisdom = love = beauty = art = creativity = truth.

2
Humans keep repeating the wrong history. Our existence is of a life of error and, therein, lies the possibility of our creative goal, our step beyond nihilism.

3
The free spirit knows how to deal with the nihilist foundation of being: by having joy in the countless opportunities of becoming.

4
Practically, what does this mean? It means the free spirit conjures up the strength (physical strength in that what you do moves you) to be his own artist in life. Takes joy in his own creations, is his history.

5
Such a creative life cannot have ressentiment because a truthful existence is full of tragedy, fateful tragedy. One must laugh in the face of tragedy, take strength from tragedy in the joyful Dionysiac orgy of creating out of the chaos of nihilistic being.

6
Great individuals have been before maybe they will be again..dare I think other cultures too?

Aphorisms – Becoming

Kevin Nebula Aphorisms, Art and Culture, Philosophy, Writing , , , ,

1

To be a nihilist who wants to give value to the world.

2

The philosopher must become a child

3

The ‘blonde beast’ is actually the lion tearing away history so the child can play.

4

You are finite but your potential is infinite. This is our fate.

5

An infinite becoming is yours, ‘What was scattered gathers. What was gathered blows apart.’ Everything you do, now that the lion has finished, can be a new becoming.

6

New values, new people, new you.

7

After all, where there’s life……

Aphorisms – The Body

Kevin Nebula Aphorisms, Art and Culture, Philosophy , , , ,

1
The concept of happiness causes more unhappiness than it’s teleological aim.

2
To physically exert oneself is, primarily, an emotional experience. The body is our truth.

3
Once you love your fate you can control your own will to power and become a free spirit in the eternal recurrence of the same.
Be history, become your authentic history.

4
Love your fate, reject determinism and say Yes to life.

5
Freedom is the acceptance of fate. Determinism, as defined in the scientific method, is not freedom.

6
Science treats the body abstractly, in isolation, as though the body is a doorstep and not the higher power that it actually is.

7
Laud the potent individual, look away from the leveling down of culture (the state is an example of this) to suit the masses.

8
The above is an attempt to transcend nihilism. We (individually) are more than the calculated parts of our body and environment.
