Aphorisms – The Unlearning of your Life

1

Nietzsche: ‘I fear we shall never be rid of God as long as we believe in grammar.’
Extrapolate…

2
The language of love, of beauty, of perfection, the language of the one, of God. We tell ourselves little myths every time we speak.

3
No two things are the same, indeed there is no ‘thing’. No straight line, anywhere. Grammar mythologizes origins, it is guilty of our consciousness and the first tool of repression used against our genuine emotions.

4
The free spirit unlearns life as it has been told to him previously. It gets to the point when language is of no more use in describing what is real as it can only point to a mythical past. What then?

5
What then? Understand that you have an overriding will to power, not a will of the appetites, these must be overcome by the higher will, not cause and effect, but your own quantum of will, your own quantum of power. Enact.

6
Free will is a myth of grammar, as is determinism. Freedom is only relative to your power, your whole being is defined by your higher will to gather power. It is of secondary nature that you will to live.

From Plato onward we ‘have a woeful history: man looks for a principal, from a standpoint of which he will be able to condemn man – he invents a world in order to slander and throw mud at this world: …he snatches..at nothing and construes this nothing as “God”..
Nietzsche.

…’the history of philosophy (truth) is a secret raging against the prerequisites of life, against the feeling of the value of life, against the championship of life. The philosophers have never hesitated to affirm a world provided it contradicted this world and supplied them with a handle with which to calumniate this world. Up to the present it has been the great school of slander.’
Nietzsche.

9
So, to know thyself means to be able to unlearn your past life and, essentially, to understand that man, as you are, is to be surpassed by the higher man who beautifully combines his animal nature with his hard won intellect that enables him to create authentically in his own history.

10
We must extrapolate the latter point even more….

11
…Mankind has no action, no endeavour, big or small, that doesn’t come down to: good or bad. Any subject, any movement. Everything is a moral question, especially logic and reason.

12
Because morality underpins all our actions, history itself is a morality tale. The vast corpus of morality is the expression of nay saying. The higher man, the free spirit is an example of yea saying. Transcend good and evil.

13
The more you say ‘yes’ the freer you are. Bob Marley sang, “no chains around my feet but I’m not free”: this is applicable to all peoples everywhere. Your historical culture weighs you down.

14
It is the philosopher’s disposition that he has a categorical imperative and nothing more.
