Zen Nomad, i am totally supportive of your effort and your virtue. and as sinfest has suggested to, what is your plan after the anarchy? what am i going to do? keep on keepin on, like i always have. i am as an enthusiastic anarchist as you could ever find anywhere. all anarchists are not quite exactly the same in their outlook. your mention of "rules" earlier in this thread gives me reason to pause. i am not looking to join a cult.

"So let's stop worrying and stating the obvious and start working out ways to govern ourselves, together" well a bunch of amazing old guys actually did this and tried to find a way to perserve it. unfortunately it has devolved to our current government.

been way too long since i read Meditations.

thanks for sharing this Scotty

thru nietzche's eyes his superman will trample on all the principles which hold good for the commom man. the ordinary man which hangs out in the masses. nietzche's thought of an authentic universal is not assimilable as possible to the masses as such. it is this mass-man that nietzche rejects. for inspite of everything his superman is still tied up in a certain evolutionary dogmatism. there is no doubt at all that nietzche never granted at all that the superman could allow himself any license which would be denied to the ordinary man. thus he has to show hardness becoz he is hard on himself in the most extreme degree. the superman has to face the upmost difficulty and danger. and from a certain point of view his superman in the mythological. does not our own experiences show us that the masses naturally conform with all the sorts of various propaganda which are spread by ever more powerful methods? propaganda itself is the favorite weapon of the false prophets and those who spread their doctrines. for nietzche, transcendance is a going beyond. and this transcendance has a more precise meaning. man is obliged to rise above himself. and this takes a heroic effort and is not insanity.

on the surface it looks like another TAX on those who can least afford it.

+1 thinks Gerard has had an encounter

"Doorknobs are all very well, but they're not family. I count them when I'm lonely, but somehow today, you know they didn't seem to do the trick. " aunt clara also this [runs into the wall]" I used to go through a wall just like butter. I think I'll try the front door."

and you do it very well

"Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule." it looks perfectly taoist to me. perfectly.

the north american forests i hang out in have many dimensions. there is a very rich ancient native american dimension. for example. happiness comes from being in great health and being in harmony with nature. the sage is sick of sickness therefore he is not sick here when one ventures out into the forest for any meaningful length of time there is invariably the experience that we call (here) the encounter

and some folks drive cars named mazda. interesting times around 5 th and 6th centuries bce and in nietzche's own words about his thus spoke zarathrusra "This work stands alone. Do not let us mention the poets in the same breath; nothing perhaps had ever been produced out of such a superabundance of strength. If all the spirit and goodness of every great soul were collected together, the whole could not create a single one of Zarathustra's discourses. "

trying to balance out my yin/yang drinking game i am steering away from maker's mark and beer, dang i miss beer already and its only been a month without. but now i am gonna put more value on my yin aspect of reality and work on the next batch's of cotton steel wine, lu rong jiu, and many tinkering about with tinctures. of course i do still have an emergency half gallon of 7 year old jim beam well stocked with last august's wild ginseng. mmmmmm tasty stuff yeah thats right i did say batch's

you may have missed the missing post by Taomeow. i think she has done this type of thing before but in support of the Tao of nietzche "suppose, finally, we succeeded in explaining our entire instinctive life as the development and ramification of one basic form of the will--namely, of the will to power, as my proposition has it... then one would have gained the right to determine all efficient force univocally as--will to power. the world viewed from inside... it would be "will to power" and nothing else." from beyond good and evil

welcome that is much debated here and welcome

where did that confounded post go??

certainly some good food for thought there thelerner.

that is one book that you can hardly ever find available on used book sites and if you do it is priced about the same as the new ones. any dvd review? there is a kindle edition!

i wondered where you had been?

the squirrels in my backyard live in the walnut trees. i do throw them some other varieties of nuts when i feel generous. i have actually had them tap on my bedroom window to encourage me to check and see if i have some extra nuts in the house.

dont tell everyone that the cat is still in the bag about how pine cone motifs are found in so many ancient art and why they were , and dont mention a dmt connection either!
