BELOVED OSHO,

OF THE THOUSAND AND ONE GOALS

NO PEOPLE COULD LIVE WITHOUT EVALUATING; BUT IF IT WISHES TO MAINTAIN ITSELF IT

MUST NOT EVALUATE AS ITS NEIGHBOR EVALUATES.

MUCH THAT SEEMED GOOD TO ONE PEOPLE SEEMED SHAME AND DISGRACE TO

ANOTHER: THUS I FOUND. I FOUND MUCH THAT WAS CALLED EVIL IN ONE PLACE WAS

IN ANOTHER DECKED WITH PURPLE HONOURS....

A TABLE OF VALUES HANGS OVER EVERY PEOPLE. BEHOLD, IT IS THE TABLE OF ITS

OVERCOMINGS; BEHOLD, IT IS THE VOICE OF ITS WILL TO POWER.

WHAT IT ACCOUNTS HARD IT CALLS PRAISEWORTHY; WHAT

IT ACCOUNTS INDISPENSABLE AND HARD IT CALLS GOOD; AND THAT WHICH RELIEVES

THE GREATEST NEED, THE RARE, THE HARDEST OF ALL – IT GLORIFIES AS HOLY.

WHATEVER CAUSES IT TO RULE AND CONQUER AND GLITTER, TO THE DREAD AND

ENVY OF ITS NEIGHBOR, THAT IT ACCOUNTS THE SUBLIMEST, THE PARAMOUNT, THE

EVALUATION AND THE MEANING OF ALL THINGS....

MAN FIRST IMPLANTED VALUES INTO THINGS TO MAINTAIN HIMSELF – HE CREATED THE

MEANING OF THINGS, A HUMAN MEANING! THEREFORE HE CALLS HIMSELF: ‘MAN’, THAT

IS: THE EVALUATOR.

EVALUATION IS CREATION: HEAR IT, YOU CREATIVE MEN! VALUATING IS ITSELF THE VALUE

AND JEWEL OF ALL VALUED THINGS.

ONLY THROUGH EVALUATION IS THERE VALUE: AND WITHOUT EVALUATION THE NUT OF

EXISTENCE WOULD BE HOLLOW. HEAR IT, YOU CREATIVE MEN!

A CHANGE IN VALUES – THAT MEANS A CHANGE IN THE CREATORS OF VALUES. HE WHO

HAS TO BE A CREATOR ALWAYS HAS TO DESTROY.

PEOPLES WERE THE CREATORS AT FIRST; ONLY LATER WERE INDIVIDUALS CREATORS.

INDEED, THE INDIVIDUAL HIMSELF IS STILL THE LATEST CREATION....

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CREATORS AND LOVING MEN WHO CREATED GOOD AND EVIL. FIRE

OF LOVE AND FIRE OF ANGER GLOW IN THE NAMES OF ALL VIRTUES.

ZARATHUSTRA HAS SEEN MANY LANDS AND MANY PEOPLES: ZARATHUSTRA HAS FOUND

NO GREATER POWER ON EARTH THAN THE WORKS OF THESE LOVING MEN: THESE

WORKS ARE NAMED ‘GOOD’ AND ‘EVIL’.

TRULY, THE POWER OF THIS PRAISING AND BLAMING IS A MONSTER....

HITHERTO THERE HAVE BEEN A THOUSAND GOALS, FOR THERE HAVE BEEN A THOUSAND

PEOPLES. ONLY FETTERS ARE STILL LACKING FOR THESE THOUSAND NECKS, THE ONE

GOAL IS STILL LACKING.

YET TELL ME, MY BROTHERS: IF A GOAL FOR HUMANITY IS STILL LACKING, IS THERE NOT

STILL LACKING – HUMANITY ITSELF?

... THUS SPAKE ZARATHUSTRA.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE between men and other animals is that of values. No animal lives

according to values; he lives blindly, not knowing why. His life force is unconscious of itself. Many

men also live in the same way. They only look like men, but they have not yet transcended the

animal. The transcendence of the animal is indicated by the values. But values can be of two types:

one that is imposed upon you from the outside, thou shalt; and one that arises in your own being, I

will.

The first kind of value is just a hypocrisy. It is a strategy to make you believe that you have

transcended the animals; but in fact you have even fallen below the animals. The animals are

at least natural; you are not even natural. Your values distort your nature, distort your simplicity,

distort your innocence – but they give you a false notion that you are a man.

The second kind of values are the authentic values. But for them, you have to avoid any kind of

imposition from the outside, and you have to allow your own inner being and its still, small voice.

The beginning of man is in the trust that he shows in his own inner voice.

Zarathustra is talking about values in these statements: NO PEOPLE COULD LIVE WITHOUT

EVALUATING; BUT IF IT WISHES TO MAINTAIN ITSELF IT MUST NOT EVALUATE AS ITS

NEIGHBOR EVALUATES. Everybody has to be himself, not a carbon copy of his neighbor – although

the whole crowd in the world, because of its immense majority, destroys the individual and makes

him just a carbon copy.

This whole thing goes on in the name of good intentions. Your parents, your priests, your leaders,

your so-called saints are all doing one thing; they are not allowing you the freedom to be just yourself,

and find your own values. They give you ready-made concepts – what is right, what is wrong, what

is good, what is evil. They decide for you, and while you let them decide your life and your live’s

values you are not yet a man. You are just a slave.

The greatest slavery is of the spirit.

They are not binding your bodies and they are not imprisoning your bodies, but they are putting

chains on your soul – and that is the worst slavery in the world. And it becomes even worse than

it would have been, because the chains are of gold. And the chains of gold convince you that they

are not chains but ornaments, that your society is making you richer, that your society is making

you better. But chains are chains, whether they are made of steel or of gold. The chains of gold

are worse, because there is a possibility of your clinging to them, and forgetting that they are your

chains.

With all good intentions, the people who think they love you, the people who think it is their duty to

make a man of you, are really the destroyers. Beware of the neighbors. Gather courage to be an

outsider; be strong enough to be a stranger – but remain yourself. You are bound to be a stranger if

you remain yourself, because then you will find a totally different category of values to live by, to live

for – not the dead values that are being imposed on you. The values imposed by your neighbors, by

your society, simply create a split in you.

Your own being needs assertion, expression. Your own heart wants to sing its own song. But even

that is not allowed. You have to sing the songs of others. They are not a nourishment, and they are

not a fulfillment; and they will never bring contentment to your life.

MUCH THAT SEEMED GOOD TO ONE PEOPLE, SEEMED SHAME AND DISGRACE TO

ANOTHER: THUS I FOUND. I FOUND MUCH THAT WAS CALLED EVIL IN ONE PLACE WAS

IN ANOTHER DECKED WITH PURPLE HONOURS. He is saying that values are not something

universal. Every society has created its own values according to its own needs, but those values

were created thousands of years ago. Needs have changed; values have remained.

That is why it is very difficult to find a contemporary human being. You cannot be contemporary if

you are not moving with the times, but you are lagging thousands of years behind. Life does not

stop for you; it goes on moving into new spaces, and your values remain dead, unmoving, and every

generation goes on giving the same set of values to another generation. And you never think your

misery is caused by many factors. One of the most basic factors is that your values are not in tune

with the time, your values are not harmonious with existence – they are not contemporary.

All the religions, all the cultures, all the civilizations belong to the past. They should be dead by now,

and we should have taken them to the graveyard – of course with respect. But those dead corpses

are moving amongst us; not only moving amongst us – they are dominating us. They have become

absolutely absurd and irrelevant. But they are ancient, and you have been told, ”Whatever is ancient

is right.”

The truth is just the contrary: the older the thing is the more is the possibility of its being wrong,

because it was conceived in the childhood days of humanity, and now humanity has come to

maturity. Your spirits are in such a ridiculous state – as if a mature young man is still wearing a

small child’s clothes. Those clothes will not only be ugly, they will be too much of an imprisonment;

his movement will become difficult. Your clothes have to change as you grow: your values are the

clothes of your soul. They have to change – every day, every moment. Hence, only individuals can

have values... living, breathing, with a heartbeat. Societies can only carry corpses, because the

individual has the future and the society has only the past. Just a few examples will help you.

In China, for thousands of years, it was thought beautiful that women should have small feet. But to

keep them small, they had to put on young baby girls’ iron shoes. Those iron shoes crippled the girl;

her body went on growing, but her feet remained small. At a certain age the shoes were removed. It

was thought that the more highly cultured you were.... Your women would be almost unable to walk,

the feet were so small.

In royal families the women could not even move – they were carried; and it continued for thousands

of years, such a stupid idea. The feet have to be in proportion to the body and they have to grow

according to nature, not according to your idea of what beauty is. It took a long time for intelligent

people to fight against it: that this is crippling the women. They cannot move, they cannot work – of

course, their small feet look very dainty, but a woman is not in the world just to have dainty feet.

The situation has been the same all around the world, in different ways, because all these societies

have developed separately. The world has become one for the first time; people have come closer

and seen each other. And that has created the doubt: ”What we have been calling values, were

not values, because there are millions of other people who have never thought about those values.

They have their own ideas.”

Howsoever painful, howsoever unnecessary, only the individual can find, through being more

conscious, an insight into what is good and what is not good. And he has to live accordingly;

whether it suits the society or not, cannot be the concern or the consideration.

I have been around the world and I was surprised that even in the so-called advanced countries

stupid ideas, superstitions, are still pretending to be values; even though they have become

dangerous. For example, on Christian holy festivals, friends sit around the dining table celebrating,

and they drink from the same cup of alcohol. The cup moves from one hand to another. Even now,

when it has become an established fact that your saliva is one of the most dangerous things, it can

infect you with the disease, AIDS – which has no cure. But it is their tradition, and it is a holy rite.

They will not listen to medical science, they will listen to the dead past.

Just a single man who has AIDS can spread it to many people, and those others will start spreading

it in different ways. Kissing should be prohibited; that is also dangerous, because AIDS does not

infect people only by sexual intercourse, it infects in many ways. There are even experts who suspect

that the AIDS virus can spread through your breathing, and certainly it spreads through your tears,

through your perspiration. Any liquid that comes out of the body can carry the virus.

The values should change. But people cling to the past, and cling so blindly that you cannot

believe.... In India, they have worshiped the cow for centuries. Nothing is wrong, it is just an innocent

stupidity. But once you move in a direction of stupid ideas, there is no end to where you will stop.

The Hindus, on special occasions, drink what they call PANCHAMRIT, ”five nectars.” They have

given a beautiful name to it, but if you hear what the five nectars are, you will be shocked. Those

five nectars are five things coming out of the cow’s body: cowdung, urine, milk, curd, butter. They

will mix them all – and it has become a holy drink. Nobody even asks the question, ”What is holy in

it?” – not even a man of the caliber of Mahatma Gandhi.

One of his disciples... and the disciple was not an ordinary man, he had renounced his post as a

professor in a university to be with Mahatma Gandhi; his name was Professor Bhansali. He defeated

all the holy men in India. He became the holiest man, and by a very simple strategy: for six months

he lived only on cow dung and cow urine, and even Mahatma Gandhi praised him as one of the

great saints.

This man is utterly insane. He should be sent to a psychiatric hospital rather than worshiped. What

contribution has he given to the world? What is great in eating cow dung and drinking cow urine?

Just all that you need is a retarded mind. All that you need is a solidly idiotic approach towards life.

But because other followers of Mahatma Gandhi could not do this, he became unique.

Just look around at your values, which make you pious, which make you religious, which make you

holy, which make you virtuous. Have they any validity, any rationality, any intuitiveness, any support

for your consciousness? Or is it just that the rotten scriptures of the past – written by uneducated,

uncultured, uncivilized people – are dominating you through them?

A TABLE OF VALUES HANGS OVER EVERY PEOPLE. BEHOLD, IT IS THE TABLE OF ITS

OVERCOMINGS; BEHOLD, IT IS THE VOICE OF ITS WILL TO POWER. And all these values

that a certain society accepts, are nothing but will to power. Now Professor Bhansali has not done

anything that can be called spiritual. It has not given him any awakening, any enlightenment, it has

not given him any realization of his own self; but it has given him great power. In Mahatma Gandhi’s

ashram there were two great men; one was Mahatma Gandhi, the other was Professor Bhansali.

The visitor first will go to Mahatma Gandhi to touch his feet, and then they will go to Bhansali, to

touch his feet.

People can be persuaded to do anything, meaningful or meaningless, if they see that their instinct

for will to power is satisfied. They can do anything – almost unbelievable.

The Jaina monks and Jaina nuns cannot use modern toilets. Obviously, they are not mentioned in

their scriptures. On the contrary, their scriptures say, ”You should not defecate or urinate in water.”

That was good, twenty-five centuries ago; otherwise you will pollute the water, and people have to

drink the same water. But this is how human stupidity is: they cannot use the modern toilet because

it has water in it. And in a big city like Bombay you cannot go out of the city, so what are they doing?

They are urinating in buckets, defecating in buckets; and in the night, when everybody is asleep,

they are throwing all that garbage and crap on the street. These are the holy men of the Jainas, and

the holy women.

The Jaina monks and Jaina nuns cannot take a shower; they cannot even clean their teeth, they

cannot use any mouthwash. The idea was that to clean your teeth, to have your mouth washed, to

have a shower is decorating your body; and Jainism is against the body – the body is your enemy.

It is so difficult to come close to Jaina monks and Jaina nuns, because they stink: it is disgusting.

And to talk to them... I had to tell them, ”Please, keep as long a distance as possible,” because even

their breath is foul. The air that comes from their mouth is sickening, and their whole body, which

has been accumulating layers of perspiration and dust, is obviously nauseating.

But this is thought by the Jainas to be a great spiritual value. These people have renounced their

bodies; they are no more servants of the body. It is ugly, but hallowed by the tradition. The

community of the Jainas is cultured, civilized, educated, rich, but they cannot change it. These

tables of values are unchangeable. You cannot improve on your scriptures: they are the final word.

No word can be final, because tomorrow will bring new things in life, tomorrow will bring new

experiences to life. If you are intelligent you will have to change your values and your lifestyle.

Only idiots can go on carrying dead corpses. And when you are carrying so many dead corpses

you cannot be alive yourself – you become just another corpse amongst the dead.

WHAT IT ACCOUNTS HARD IT CALLS PRAISEWORTHY: Whatever is thought to be hard is called

by people praiseworthy. Nobody bothers whether that hardness is of any value, or not. Somebody is

standing on his head, and people praise him because it is hard. Somebody is walking on a tightrope

stretched between two towers, and it is praiseworthy. It enhances nothing, but this is how values

have been created.

WHAT IT ACCOUNTS HARD IT CALLS PRAISEWORTHY; WHAT IT

ACCOUNTS INDISPENSABLE AND HARD IT CALLS GOOD. Strange definitions. I have seen

one man in Varanasi who has been standing for years with one hand raised. His hand has become

almost like a dead branch, thin, just bones. All the blood has gone, in accord with gravitation, into

the body. Now, even if he wants to bend it, he cannot; it has become stiff. People go to worship him.

I inquired, ”What is the quality that you are worshiping.”

They said, ”Quality? For almost 12 years he has been keeping one of his hands up towards the sky.”

But I said, ”That simply shows that man is mad. This is not the way to keep your hands – he has

killed his hand.”

But it is hard – you cannot do it – and it becomes a value. And if something is indispensible, then it

becomes good too.

In Mahatma Gandhi’s ashram, mosquito nets were not allowed because that is luxury. Mosquitos

must have been happy, but what about the poor inmates of the ashram? It was impossible to sleep.

There were so many mosquitos, that even in the daytime it was impossible to sit without being bitten

all over. Gandhi has discovered a very ingenious idea, that you should spray kerosene oil on you

face, on your hands, or anything that is exposed, because the mosquitos are more intelligent than

man; they smell the kerosene, and they don’t come close to you. But how can you sleep with that

smell?

Mahatma Gandhi’s son, Ramdas, was very close to me. I used to go to Wardha – the ashram was

outside Wardha – and Ramdas once invited me: ”Why don’t you come and be with us for few days?”

I said, ”I can come, but what about the mosquitos? I cannot use kerosene oil on my face and on my

hands, and you know I am allergic to smell.” Even if I was not allergic to smell, this stupid act I could

not think of as an austerity, as something good – although it was indispensible. Those who wanted

to live in the ashram, they had to use it.

I said, ”In the daytime I can be there. But in the night I cannot stay in your ashram.”

But even in the day it was so difficult. I told Ramdas of my experience in Sarnath near Varanasi.

Sarnath is the place where Gautam Buddha gave his first sermon, but he came only once to Sarnath.

For forty-two years he was travelling, going through the same city twenty times, twenty-five times,

because he had chosen only a small area of Bihar.... The very word ”Bihar” means ”where Gautam

Buddha walked around.”

I was staying in Sarnath – which has one of the most beautiful Buddhist temples, in memory of his

first sermon – with a Buddhist monk, one of the most learned Buddhist monks I have come across,

Bhikkhu Jagdish Kashyap. He was the director of the Pali institute which studies and does research

work on Gautam Buddha and his works. Even in the day we had to sit inside the mosquito nets. He

will sit in his mosquito net, I will sit in my mosquito net.

I said, ”It looks very awkward,” and I told Jagdish Kashyap, ”Now I know why Buddha never came

back to Sarnath.”

He said, ”What do you mean?”

I said, ”Simple, because he had no mosquito net, and the Sarnath mosquitos are, in my experience,

the biggest.”

But strange superstitions go on living for no reason at all. In Calcutta I have seen a very strange

scene. I had to tell my chauffeur to stop, I wanted to see what was happening. There were almost

one hundred beds lined up by the side of the street.

I said, ”Who is going to sleep here on the street?”

The chauffeur said, ”You may not know: the Jainas cannot kill any insects; and the parasites which

grow in the beds, bed-bugs, they cannot kill them. Out of compassion they put their beds here, and

they pay anybody one rupee a night if he sleeps on them, because those bed-bugs have to be fed.”

This is charity!

And I said, ”What about those poor people who sleep here?”

He said, ”They sleep here by their own will. We are not responsible for that.” The poor people are

sleeping there; in the morning they get one rupee, and the whole night they cannot sleep. The

bed-bugs must be feeling very, very grateful to Mahavira, and to the whole Jain mythology. But it is

thought to be a good, virtuous act.

AND THAT WHICH RELIEVES THE GREATEST NEED, THE RARE, THE HARDEST OF ALL – IT

GLORIFIES AS HOLY. One Christian saint remained on a pillar in Alexandria, a twenty foot high

pillar, for almost seven years. He never came down from there, he stood on the pillar, sat on the

pillar, slept sitting on the pillar. It was dangerous, and just because it was so dangerous he became

a great saint. Thousands of pilgrims were coming to pay their respects to him. Now, around the

pillar, there stands a very beautiful cathedral in memory of the saint. But the saint did nothing. He

only sat on the pillar for seven years. Certainly it was difficult – and it was stupid. How can it make

you holy? Otherwise we should make pillars in every city, and people should sit on the pillars for

their whole life, and the whole world becomes a holy place.

But anything that is very rare, and hardest of all, is glorified as holy. In Russia, before the revolution,

there was a Christian sect which used to cut off their genitals... every Christmas time, piles of

genitals, blood flowing all over, and people touching their feet – they have done a great thing.

Women were not to be left behind, but they don’t have genitals to cut off, so they started cutting

off their breasts. Many women cut off their breasts; and they also became holy.

After the revolution it was prevented, and it took years for the communist government to make it a

crime. That which was holy became criminal. That sect disappeared by and by. In these seventy

years I don’t think that it has survived; but once it was one of the holiest sects in Russia – and all

that they were doing was only an idiotic act.

It was done in the name of celibacy. But perhaps nobody thought that sexuality is in your mind, not

in your genitals; that is why you can dream about it. Your genitals are only extensions of your mental

state. The center of sex is in the mind; that is why you enjoy pornography. Your genitals cannot see

pornography, they cannot even grope! It is your mind which is the seat of your sexuality, so even if

you cut off your genitals it does not mean you will not think of sex again. My own understanding is,

you will think of sex more than anybody else. It will become your obsession – but it will remain in

your mind.

WHATEVER CAUSES IT TO RULE AND CONQUER AND GLITTER, TO THE DREAD AND

ENVY OF ITS NEIGHBOR, THAT IT ACCOUNTS THE SUBLIMEST, THE PARAMOUNT, THE

EVALUATION AND THE MEANING OF ALL THINGS....

MAN FIRST IMPLANTED VALUES INTO THINGS TO MAINTAIN HIMSELF – HE CREATED THE

MEANING OF THINGS, A HUMAN MEANING! THEREFORE HE CALLS HIMSELF: ‘MAN’, THAT

IS: THE EVALUATOR.

EVALUATION IS CREATION: HEAR IT, YOU CREATIVE MEN! VALUATING IS ITSELF THE VALUE

AND JEWEL OF ALL VALUED THINGS.

But this valuation should come from your own awareness. It should serve something beautiful,

something good, something human. It should bring into the world something of the divine. Otherwise

you go on doing things believing that they are good, that they are holy. But anybody without any

prejudice can see that they are simply stupid, and stupidity is not a value. Man has to create values.

Freedom is a value, love is a value, joy is a value, creativity is a value.

Anything that enhances life and gives meaning to life, anything that makes life more liveable, more

loveable, anything that makes life a glory, a splendor, that gives life a taste of godliness – that is

good. But that kind of valuation has to come out of individual experience, out of individual meditation,

individual consciousness; it cannot be imposed by the society, by the past.

ONLY THROUGH EVALUATION IS THERE VALUE: AND WITHOUT EVALUATION THE NUT OF

EXISTENCE WOULD BE HOLLOW. HEAR IT, YOU CREATIVE MEN!

A CHANGE IN VALUES – THAT MEANS A CHANGE IN THE CREATORS OF VALUES.

You have to go on changing, for higher values.

For example, the woman has not been accepted down the ages as an equal to man. The day man

accepts the woman with respect, and gives her dignity back to her, it will be a great value.

Creators of many things which are not of much utilitarian use... for example, a man playing on a

bamboo flute is not of much use. But his songs, his music, can stir in your heart something that was

fast asleep, can wake up your own musical self. But rather than respecting a flute player, you respect

a scientist who creates nuclear weapons. Anything that is destructive should be condemned: It is a

dis-value. And anything that creates for life more joy, should be accepted, respected, appreciated.

A dancer is far more valuable than a man who creates atomic energy to destroy Hiroshima and

Nagasaki. The dancer can create an urge in you to dance – can make your life richer.

HE WHO HAS TO BE A CREATOR ALWAYS HAS TO DESTROY. The old values have to be

destroyed if you want higher values to be created. To create anything you have to destroy much.

You have to destroy the superstitions, you have to destroy the theologies, you have to destroy the

religions, if you want the whole of humanity to be religious, to be spiritual, to be meditative, to be

loving.

If you want the whole of humanity as one, then the old value of nationality has to be destroyed. It has

been praised for centuries: Nationality is a great value; and the politicians have been trying to make

it even a greater value than religiousness or spirituality. The nations have to be destroyed, because

they are only man-made lines on the map. They don’t exist on the earth. All these divisions amongst

humanity don’t allow freedom of movement, freedom of marriages, between one nation and another.

It is an established fact that marriages should happen between unrelated people. Then children will

be more beautiful, more intelligent, stronger, and their life will be longer.

Cross-breeding is being used with animals, and now cross-breeding is being used with trees. In the

Soviet Union there are many fruits which were not created in those six days when God created the

world, and they are far sweeter, far more delicious, because now it is man.... By cross-breeding the

trees, a new fruit comes into being.

You must have seen beautiful dogs; they are not created by nature, they are created by cross

breeding. Now bulls are being brought from New Jersey to create more milk-producing cows,

because Jersey cows are the best milk-producing cows.

You are being scientific about animals and about trees, but you are very unscientific about human

beings, and you can see the result of it. For example, in Europe, all the royal families go on marrying

amongst themselves. They cannot marry a commoner, so just a few families are continually marrying

amongst themselves. You can see that from these royal families not a single genius is born, not a

single talented person is born, but only retarded people. Have you looked at the picture of the

Prince of Wales? Just the face shows retardedness. Have you seen the picture of Queen Elizabeth

of England? Can you call her beautiful? And they all suffer from diseases which they go on giving

to each other.

Humanity has known the fact for thousands of years. That is why we prevent marriage between

brother and sister, because the same blood will not create enough tension, enough challenge. It

may create a child, but it will be simply a dodo. But even to marry in your own caste is marrying

somebody who must have been, a few generations back, your cousin, your sister, your brother.

People should marry as far away as possible, and if we can discover some day, on some other

planet, human beings, then inter-planetary marriages will be the most scientific thing.

PEOPLES WERE THE CREATORS AT FIRST; ONLY LATER WERE INDIVIDUALS CREATORS.

INDEED, THE INDIVIDUAL HIMSELF IS STILL THE LATEST CREATION. He is not yet complete.

It is my effort with my people to make you all individuals, and I consider it the greatest creativity: to

create individuals. Because the individual is the crown of the whole of evolution.

... IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CREATORS AND LOVING MEN WHO CREATED GOOD AND EVIL.

FIRE OF LOVE AND FIRE OF ANGER GLOW IN THE NAMES OF ALL VIRTUES.

ZARATHUSTRA HAS SEEN MANY LANDS AND MANY PEOPLES: ZARATHUSTRA HAS FOUND

NO GREATER POWER ON EARTH THAN THE WORKS OF THESE LOVING MEN: THESE

WORKS ARE NAMED ‘GOOD’ AND ‘EVIL’.

It is easy to understand that ”good” is a great value created by loving human beings. It will take a

little more intelligence to understand that evil is also created. In existence there is no evil, no good.

For example, the people who are creating nuclear weapons are also creative, but creative of evil.

And that will be a great day, when we stop creating evil and the whole energy of man’s creativity

creates only the good, only the beautiful, only the divine.

TRULY, THE POWER OF THIS PRAISING AND BLAMING IS A MONSTER...

HITHERTO THERE HAVE BEEN A THOUSAND GOALS, FOR THERE HAVE BEEN A THOUSAND

PEOPLES. ONLY FETTERS ARE STILL LACKING FOR THESE THOUSAND NECKS, THE ONE

GOAL IS STILL LACKING.

YET TELL ME, MY BROTHERS: IF A GOAL FOR HUMANITY IS STILL LACKING, IS THERE NOT

STILL LACKING – HUMANITY ITSELF?

This is a tremendous insight and understanding of Zarathustra. There are thousands of goals,

because humanity is divided into thousands of pieces; there is not one goal for the whole of

humanity. He has raised a very pertinent question. If there is still not one goal for the whole of

humanity, then can you say that humanity itself exists?

Indians exist, Chinese exist, Negroes exist, Europeans exist, Hindus and Mohammedans and

Christians exist; but one humanity is just a word. And unless there is one humanity there cannot be

one goal. They will come both together, simultaneously.

I repeat his words: Yet tell me, my brothers: If a goal for humanity is still lacking, is there not still

lacking – humanity itself?

... THUS SPAKE ZARATHUSTRA.

Okay, Maneesha?

Yes, Osho.

    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 3: Prologue Part 3, WHEN ZARATHUSTRA ARRIVED AT THE NEAREST OF THE TOWNS LYING AGAINST THE FOREST, HE FOUND IN THAT VERY PLACE MANY PEOPLE ASSEMBLED IN THE MARKET SQUARE: FOR IT HAD BEEN ANNOUNCED THAT A TIGHT-ROPE WALKER WOULD BE APPEARING. AND ZARATHUSTRA SPOKE THUS TO THE PEOPLE: I TEACH YOU THE SUPERMAN. MAN IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE OVERCOME. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OVERCOME HIM? ALL CREATURES HITHERTO HAVE CREATED SOMETHING BEYOND THEMSELVES: AND DO YOU WANT TO BE THE EBB OF THIS GREAT TIDE, AND RETURN TO THE ANIMALS RATHER THAN OVERCOME MAN? WHAT IS THE APE TO MEN? A LAUGHING-STOCK OR A PAINFUL EMBARRASSMENT. AND JUST SO SHALL MAN BE TO THE SUPERMAN: A LAUGHING-STOCK OR A PAINFUL EMBARRASSMENT. YOU HAVE MADE YOUR WAY FROM WORM TO MAN, AND MUCH IN YOU IS STILL WORM. ONCE YOU WERE APES, AND EVEN NOW MAN IS MORE OF AN APE THAN ANY APE. BUT HE WHO IS THE WISEST AMONG YOU, HE ALSO IS ONLY A DISCORD AND HYBRID OF PLANT AND OF GHOST. BUT DO I BID YOU BECOME GHOSTS OR PLANTS? at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 4: Prologue 4
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 4: Prologue 4, WHAT IS THE GREATEST THING YOU CAN EXPERIENCE? IT IS THE HOUR OF THE GREAT CONTEMPT. THE HOUR IN WHICH EVEN YOUR HAPPINESS GROWS LOATHSOME TO YOU, AND YOUR REASON AND YOUR VIRTUE ALSO. THE HOUR WHEN YOU SAY: ‘WHAT GOOD IS MY HAPPINESS? IT IS POVERTY AND DIRT AND A MISERABLE EASE. BUT MY HAPPINESS SHOULD JUSTIFY EXISTENCE ITSELF!’ THE HOUR WHEN YOU SAY: ‘WHAT GOOD IS MY REASON? DOES IT LONG FOR KNOWLEDGE AS THE LION FOR ITS FOOD? IT IS POVERTY AND DIRT AND A MISERABLE EASE!’ THE HOUR WHEN YOU SAY: ‘WHAT GOOD IS MY VIRTUE? IT HAS NOT YET DRIVEN ME MAD! HOWTIRED I AM OF MY GOOD AND MY EVIL! IT IS ALL POVERTY AND DIRT AND MISERABLE EASE!.... THE HOUR WHEN YOU SAY, ‘WHAT GOOD IS MY PITY? IS NOT PITY THE CROSS UPON WHICH HE WHO LOVES MAN IS NAILED? BUT MY PITY IS NO CRUCIFIXION!’ HAVE YOU EVER SPOKEN THUS? HAVE YOU EVER CRIED THUS? AH, THAT I HAD HEARD YOU CRYING THUS! at energyenhancement.org
  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 5: Prologue Part 5
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 5: Prologue Part 5, WHEN ZARATHUSTRA HAD SPOKEN THESE WORDS HE LOOKED AGAIN AT THE PEOPLE AND FELL SILENT. THERE THEY STAND (HE SAID TO HIS HEART), THERE THEY LAUGH: THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND ME, I AM NOT THE MOUTH FOR THESE EARS. MUST ONE FIRST SHATTER THEIR EARS TO TEACH THEM TO HEAR WITH THEIR EYES? MUST ONE RUMBLE LIKE DRUMS AND LENTEN PREACHERS? OR DO THEY BELIEVE ONLY THOSE WHO STAMMER? THEY HAVE SOMETHING OF WHICH THEY ARE PROUD. WHAT IS IT CALLED THAT MAKES THEM PROUD? THEY CALL IT CULTURE, IT DISTINGUISHES THEM FROM THE GOATHERDS. THEREFORE THEY DISLIKE HEARING THE WORD ’CONTEMPT’ SPOKEN OF THEM. SO I SHALL SPEAK TO THEIR PRIDE. SO I SHALL SPEAK TO THEM OF THE MOST CONTEMPTIBLE MAN: AND THAT IS THE ULTIMATE MAN. AND THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA TO THE PEOPLE: IT IS TIME FOR MAN TO FIX HIS GOAL. IT IS TIME FOR MAN TO PLANT THE SEED OF HIS HIGHEST HOPE at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 6: Prologue Part 6
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 6: Prologue Part 6, FOLLOWING HIS SPEECH ABOUT THE ULTIMATE MAN, ZARATHUSTRA REALIZES THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD HIM, FOR THEY NOW CRY OUT TO HIM FOR THE ULTIMATE MAN, TELLING HIM HE CAN HAVE THE SUPERMAN. WHILE HE PONDERS ON THIS, THE TIGHT-ROPE WALKER BEGINS HIS ACT – WALKING ACROSS A ROPE SUSPENDED HIGH ABOVE THE PEOPLE IN THE MARKET SQUARE, BETWEEN TWO TOWERS. WHEN HE REACHES THE MID-POINT, SUDDENLY A FIGURE DRESSED AS A BUFFOON APPEARS FROM ONE OF THE TOWERS, AND PROCEEDS TO FOLLOW THE TIGHT-ROPE WALKER, SHOUTING OUT AND ABUSING HIM. HE MAKES TO JUMP OVER THE TIGHTROPE WALKER, WHO LOSES HIS BALANCE AND FALLS, LANDING QUITE CLOSE TO WHERE ZARATHUSTRA IS STANDING. ZARATHUSTRA STAYS WITH THE DYING MAN LONG AFTER EVENING HAS COME AND THE CROWD DISPERSED at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 7: Of the three metamorphoses
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 7: Of the three metamorphoses, I NAME YOU THREE METAMORPHOSES OF THE SPIRIT: HOW THE SPIRIT SHALL BECOME A CAMEL, AND THE CAMEL A LION, AND THE LION AT LAST A CHILD. THERE ARE MANY HEAVY THINGS FOR THE SPIRIT, FOR THE STRONG, WEIGHT-BEARING SPIRIT IN WHICH DWELL RESPECT AND AWE: ITS STRENGTH LONGS FOR THE HEAVY, FOR THE HEAVIEST. WHAT IS HEAVY? THUS ASKS THE WEIGHT-BEARING SPIRIT, THUS IT KNEELS DOWN LIKE THE CAMEL AND WANTS TO BE WELL LADEN. WHAT IS THE HEAVIEST THING, YOU HEROES? SO ASKS THE WEIGHT-BEARING SPIRIT, THAT I MAY TAKE IT UPON ME AND REJOICE IN MY STRENGTH. IS IT NOT THIS: TO DEBASE YOURSELF IN ORDER TO INJURE YOUR PRIDE?... OR IS IT THIS: TO DESERT OUR CAUSE WHEN IT IS CELEBRATING ITS VICTORY? TO CLIMB HIGH MOUNTAINS IN ORDER TO TEMPT THE TEMPTER?... OR IS IT THIS: TO LOVE THOSE WHO DESPISE US AND TO OFFER OUR HAND TO THE GHOST WHEN IT WANTS TO FRIGHTEN US? at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 8: Of the despisers of the body and the joys and the passions
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 8: Of the despisers of the body and the joys and the passions, YOU SAY ‘I’ AND YOU ARE PROUD OF THIS WORD. BUT GREATER THAN THIS – ALTHOUGH YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE IN IT – IS YOUR BODY AND ITS GREAT INTELLIGENCE, WHICH DOES NOT SAY ‘I’ BUT PERFORMS ‘I’. WHAT THE SENSE FEELS, WHAT THE SPIRIT PERCEIVES, IS NEVER AN END IN ITSELF. BUT SENSE AND SPIRIT WOULD LIKE TO PERSUADE YOU THAT THEY ARE THE END OF ALL THINGS: THEY ARE AS VAIN AS THAT. SENSE AND SPIRIT ARE INSTRUMENTS AND TOYS: BEHIND THEM STILL LIES THE SELF. THE SELF SEEKS WITH THE EYES OF THE SENSE, IT LISTENS TOO WITH THE EARS OF THE SPIRIT. THE SELF IS ALWAYS LISTENING AND SEEKING: IT COMPARES, SUBDUES, CONQUERS, DESTROYS. IT RULES AND IS ALSO THE EGO’S RULER. BEHIND YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS, MY BROTHER, STANDS A MIGHTY COMMANDER, AN UNKNOWN SAGE – HE IS CALLED SELF. HE LIVES IN YOUR BODY, HE IS YOUR BODY. THERE IS MORE REASON IN YOUR BODY THAN IN YOUR BEST WISDOM. AND WHO KNOWS FOR WHAT PURPOSE YOUR BODY REQUIRES PRECISELY YOUR BEST WISDOM?... at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 9: Of live and love and of war and warriors
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 9: Of live and love and of war and warriors, WHAT HAVE WE IN COMMON WITH THE ROSEBUD, WHICH TREMBLES BECAUSE A DROP OF DEW IS LYING UPON IT? IT IS TRUE: WE LOVE LIFE, NOT BECAUSE WE ARE USED TO LIVING BUT BECAUSE WE ARE USED TO LOVING. THERE IS ALWAYS A CERTAIN MADNESS IN LOVE. BUT ALSO THERE IS ALWAYS A CERTAIN METHOD IN MADNESS. AND TO ME TOO, WHO LOVE LIFE, IT SEEMS THAT BUTTERFLIES AND SOAP-BUBBLES, AND WHATEVER IS LIKE THEM AMONG MEN, KNOW MOST ABOUT HAPPINESS. TO SEE THESE LIGHT, FOOLISH, DAINTY, AFFECTING LITTLE SOULS FLUTTER ABOUT – THAT MOVES ZARATHUSTRA TO TEARS AND TO SONG. I SHOULD BELIEVE ONLY IN A GOD WHO UNDERSTOOD HOW TO DANCE. OF WAR AND WARRIORS WE DO NOT WISH TO BE SPARED BY OUR BEST ENEMIES, NOR BY THOSE WHOM WE LOVE FROM THE VERY HEART. SO LET ME TELL YOU THE TRUTH! at energyenhancement.org
  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 10: Of the new idol and of the flies of the marketplace
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 10: Of the new idol and of the flies of the marketplace, THERE ARE STILL PEOPLES AND HERDS SOMEWHERE, BUT NOT WITH US, MY BROTHERS: HERE THERE ARE STATES.... THE STATE IS THE COLDEST OF ALL COLD MONSTERS. COLDLY IT LIES, TOO; AND THIS LIE CREEPS FROM ITS MOUTH: ’I, THE STATE, AM THE PEOPLE.’ IT IS A LIE! IT WAS CREATORS WHO CREATED PEOPLES AND HUNG A FAITH AND A LOVE OVER THEM: THUS THEY SERVED LIFE. IT IS DESTROYERS WHO SET SNARES FOR MANY AND CALL IT THE STATE: THEY HANG A SWORD AND A HUNDRED DESIRES OVER THEM. WHERE A PEOPLE STILL EXISTS, THERE THE PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE STATE AND HATE IT AS THE EVIL EYE AND SIN AGAINST CUSTOM AND LAW.... A FREE LIFE STILL REMAINS FOR GREAT SOULS. TRULY, HE WHO POSSESSES LITTLE IS SO MUCH THE LESS POSSESSED: PRAISED BE A MODERATE POVERTY! ONLY THERE, WHERE THE STATE CEASES, DOES THE MAN WHO IS NOT SUPERFLUOUS BEGIN: DOES THE SONG OF THE NECESSARY MAN, THE UNIQUE AND IRREPLACEABLE MELODY, BEGIN at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 11: Of the friend
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 11: Of the friend, OUR FAITH IN OTHERS BETRAYS WHEREIN WE WOULD DEARLY LIKE TO HAVE FAITH IN OURSELVES. OUR LONGING FOR A FRIEND IS OUR BETRAYER. AND OFTEN WITH OUR LOVE WE ONLYWANT TO LEAP OVER ENVY. AND OFTEN WE ATTACK AND MAKE AN ENEMY IN ORDER TO CONCEAL THAT WE ARE VULNERABLE TO ATTACK. ‘AT LEAST BE MY ENEMY!’ – THUS SPEAKS THE TRUE REVERENCE THAT DOES NOT VENTURE TO ASK FOR FRIENDSHIP. IF YOU WANT A FRIEND, YOU MUST ALSO BE WILLING TO WAGE WAR FOR HIM: AND TO WAGE WAR, YOU MUST BE CAPABLE OF BEING AN ENEMY. YOU SHOULD HONOUR EVEN THE ENEMY IN YOUR FRIEND. CAN YOU GO NEAR TO YOUR FRIEND WITHOUT GOING OVER TO HIM? IN YOUR FRIEND YOU SHOULD POSSESS YOUR BEST ENEMY. YOUR HEART SHOULD FEEL CLOSEST TO HIM WHEN YOU OPPOSE HIM.... HE WHO MAKES NO SECRET OF HIMSELF EXCITES ANGER IN OTHERS: THAT IS HOW MUCH REASON YOU HAVE TO FEAR NAKEDNESS. IF YOU WERE GODS YOU COULD THEN BE ASHAMED OF YOUR CLOTHES! at energyenhancement.org
  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 12: Of the thousand and one goals
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 12: Of the thousand and one goals, NO PEOPLE COULD LIVE WITHOUT EVALUATING; BUT IF IT WISHES TO MAINTAIN ITSELF IT MUST NOT EVALUATE AS ITS NEIGHBOR EVALUATES. MUCH THAT SEEMED GOOD TO ONE PEOPLE SEEMED SHAME AND DISGRACE TO ANOTHER: THUS I FOUND. I FOUND MUCH THAT WAS CALLED EVIL IN ONE PLACE WAS IN ANOTHER DECKED WITH PURPLE HONOURS.... A TABLE OF VALUES HANGS OVER EVERY PEOPLE. BEHOLD, IT IS THE TABLE OF ITS OVERCOMINGS; BEHOLD, IT IS THE VOICE OF ITS WILL TO POWER. WHAT IT ACCOUNTS HARD IT CALLS PRAISEWORTHY; WHAT IT ACCOUNTS INDISPENSABLE AND HARD IT CALLS GOOD; AND THAT WHICH RELIEVES THE GREATEST NEED, THE RARE, THE HARDEST OF ALL – IT GLORIFIES AS HOLY. WHATEVER CAUSES IT TO RULE AND CONQUER AND GLITTER, TO THE DREAD AND ENVY OF ITS NEIGHBOR, THAT IT ACCOUNTS THE SUBLIMEST, THE PARAMOUNT, THE EVALUATION AND THE MEANING OF ALL THINGS.... MAN FIRST IMPLANTED VALUES INTO THINGS TO MAINTAIN HIMSELF – HE CREATED THE MEANING OF THINGS, A HUMAN MEANING! THEREFORE HE CALLS HIMSELF: ‘MAN’, THAT IS: THE EVALUATOR at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 13: Of love of one’s neighbor
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 13: Of love of one’s neighbor, YOU FLEE TO YOUR NEIGHBOR AWAY FROM YOURSELVES AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A VIRTUE OF IT: BUT I SEE THROUGH YOUR ‘SELFLESSNESS’.... DO I EXHORT YOU TO LOVE OF YOUR NEIGHBOR? I EXHORT YOU RATHER TO FLIGHT FROM YOUR NEIGHBOR AND TO LOVE OF THE MOST DISTANT! HIGHER THAN LOVE OF ONE’S NEIGHBOR STANDS LOVE OF THE MOST DISTANT MAN AND OF THE MAN OF THE FUTURE; HIGHER STILL THAN LOVE OF MAN I ACCOUNT LOVE OF CAUSES AND OF PHANTOMS. THIS PHANTOM THAT RUNS ALONG BEHIND YOU, MY BROTHER, IS FAIRER THAN YOU; WHY DO YOU NOT GIVE IT YOUR FLESH AND BONES? BUT YOU ARE AFRAID AND YOU RUN TO YOUR NEIGHBOR.... YOU INVITE IN A WITNESS WHEN YOU WANT TO SPEAK WELL OF YOURSELVES; AND WHEN YOU HAVE MISLED HIM INTO THINKING WELL OF YOU, YOU THEN THINK WELL OF YOURSELVES.... ONE MAN RUNS TO HIS NEIGHBOR BECAUSE HE IS LOOKING FOR HIMSELF, AND ANOTHER BECAUSE HE WANTS TO LOSE HIMSELF. YOUR BAD LOVE OF YOURSELVES MAKES SOLITUDE A PRISON TO YOU.... at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 14: Of the way of the creator
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 14: Of the way of the creator, MY BROTHER, DO YOU WANT TO GO APART AND BE ALONE? DO YOU WANT TO SEEK THE WAY TO YOURSELF? PAUSE JUST A MOMENT AND LISTEN TO ME. ‘HE WHO SEEKS MAY EASILY GET LOST HIMSELF. IT IS A CRIME TO GO APART AND BE ALONE’ – THUS SPEAKS THE HERD. THE VOICE OF THE HERD WILL STILL RING WITHIN YOU. AND WHEN YOU SAY: ‘WE HAVE NO LONGER THE SAME CONSCIENCE, YOU AND I’, IT WILL BE A LAMENT AND A GRIEF. FOR SEE, IT IS STILL THIS SAME CONSCIENCE THAT CAUSES YOUR GRIEF: AND THE LAST GLIMMER OF THIS CONSCIENCE STILL GLOWS IN YOUR AFFLICTION. BUT YOU WANT TO GO THE WAY OF YOUR AFFLICTION, WHICH IS THE WAY TO YOURSELF? IF SO, SHOW ME YOUR STRENGTH FOR IT AND YOUR RIGHT TO IT! ARE YOU A NEW STRENGTH AND A NEW RIGHT? A FIRST MOTION? A SELF-PROPELLING WHEEL? CAN YOU ALSO COMPEL STARS TO REVOLVE ABOUT YOU? ALAS, THERE IS SO MUCH LUSTING FOR EMINENCE! THERE IS SO MUCH CONVULSION OF THE AMBITIOUS!... at energyenhancement.org
  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 15: Of justice
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 15: Of justice, WHEN YOU HAVE AN ENEMY, DO NOT REQUITE HIM GOOD FOR EVIL: FOR THAT WOULD MAKE HIM ASHAMED. BUT PROVE THAT HE HAS DONE SOMETHING GOOD TO YOU. BETTER TO BE ANGRY THAN MAKE ASHAMED! AND WHEN YOU ARE CURSED, I DO NOT LIKE IT THAT YOU THEN WANT TO BLESS. RATHER CURSE BACK A LITTLE! AND SHOULD A GREAT INJUSTICE BE DONE YOU, THEN QUICKLY DO FIVE LITTLE INJUSTICES BESIDES. HE WHO BEARS INJUSTICE ALONE IS TERRIBLE TO BEHOLD. DID YOU KNOW THIS ALREADY? SHARED INJUSTICE IS HALF JUSTICE. AND HE WHO CAN BEAR IT SHOULD TAKE THE INJUSTICE UPON HIMSELF. A LITTLE REVENGE IS MORE HUMAN THAN NO REVENGE AT ALL. AND IF THE PUNISHMENT BE NOT ALSO A RIGHT AND AN HONOUR FOR THE TRANSGRESSOR, THEN I DO NOT LIKE YOUR PUNISHMENT. IT IS MORE NOBLE TO DECLARE YOURSELF WRONG THAN TO MAINTAIN YOU ARE RIGHT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE RIGHT. ONLY YOU MUST BE RICH ENOUGH FOR IT. I DO NOT LIKE YOUR COLD JUSTICE; AND FROM THE EYE OF YOUR JUDGES THERE ALWAYS GAZES ONLY THE EXECUTIONER AND HIS COLD STEEL at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 16: Of voluntary death
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 16: Of voluntary death, MANY DIE TOO LATE AND SOME DIE TOO EARLY. STILL THE DOCTRINE SOUNDS STRANGE: ‘DIE AT THE RIGHT TIME.’DIE AT THE RIGHT TIME: THUS ZARATHUSTRA TEACHES. TO BE SURE, HE WHO NEVER LIVED AT THE RIGHT TIME COULD HARDLY DIE AT THE RIGHT TIME! BETTER IF HE WERE NEVER TO BE BORN! – THUS I ADVISE THE SUPERFLUOUS. BUT EVEN THE SUPERFLUOUS MAKE A GREAT THING OF THEIR DYING; YES, EVEN THE HOLLOWEST NUT WANTS TO BE CRACKED. EVERYONE TREATS DEATH AS AN IMPORTANT MATTER: BUT AS YET DEATH IS NOT A FESTIVAL. AS YET, MEN HAVE NOT LEARNED TO CONSECRATE THE FAIREST FESTIVALS. I SHALL SHOW YOU THE CONSUMMATING DEATH, WHICH SHALL BE A SPUR AND A PROMISE TO THE LIVING. THE MAN CONSUMMATING HIS LIFE DIES HIS DEATH TRIUMPHANTLY.... TO DIE THUS IS THE BEST DEATH; BUT THE SECOND BEST IS: TO DIE IN BATTLE AND TO SQUANDER A GREAT SOUL at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 17: Of the bestowing virtue, part 1
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 17: Of the bestowing virtue, part 1 , TELL ME: HOW DID GOLD COME TO HAVE THE HIGHEST VALUE? BECAUSE IT IS UNCOMMON AND USELESS AND SHINING AND MELLOW IN LUSTRE; IT ALWAYS BESTOWS ITSELF. ONLY AS AN IMAGE OF THE HIGHEST VIRTUE DID GOLD COME TO HAVE THE HIGHEST VALUE. GOLD-LIKE GLEAMS THE GLANCE OF THE GIVER.... THE HIGHEST VIRTUE IS UNCOMMON AND USELESS, IT IS SHINING AND MELLOW IN LUSTRE: THE HIGHEST VIRTUE IS A BESTOWING VIRTUE. TRULY, I DIVINE YOU WELL, MY DISCIPLES, YOU ASPIRE TO THE BESTOWING VIRTUE, AS I DO.... YOU THIRST TO BECOME SACRIFICES AND GIFTS YOURSELVES; AND THAT IS WHY YOU THIRST TO HEAP UP ALL RICHES IN YOUR SOUL. YOUR SOUL ASPIRES INSATIABLY AFTER TREASURES AND JEWELS, BECAUSE YOUR VIRTUE IS INSATIABLE IN WANTING TO GIVE. YOU COMPEL ALL THINGS TO COME TO YOU AND INTO YOU, THAT THEY MAY FLOW BACK FROM YOUR FOUNTAIN AS GIFTS OF YOUR LOVE at energyenhancement.org
  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 18: Of the bestowing virtue, part 2
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 18: Of the bestowing virtue, part 2, HERE ZARATHUSTRA FELL SILENT A WHILE AND REGARDED HIS DISCIPLES LOVINGLY. THEN HE WENT ON SPEAKING THUS, AND HIS VOICE WAS DIFFERENT: STAY LOYAL TO THE EARTH, MY BROTHERS, WITH THE POWER OF YOUR VIRTUE! MAY YOUR BESTOWING LOVE AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE SERVE TOWARDS THE MEANING OF THE EARTH! THUS I BEG AND ENTREAT YOU.... A HUNDRED TIMES HAS SPIRIT AS WELL AS VIRTUE EXPERIMENTED AND GONE ASTRAY. YES, MAN WAS AN EXPERIMENT. ALAS, MUCH IGNORANCE AND ERROR HAS BECOME BODY IN US! NOT ONLY THE REASON OF MILLENNIA – THE MADNESS OF MILLENNIA TOO BREAKS OUT IN US. IT IS DANGEROUS TO BE AN HEIR. WE ARE STILL FIGHTING STEP BY STEP WITH THE GIANT CHANCE, AND HITHERTO THE SENSELESS, THE MEANINGLESS, HAS STILL RULED OVER MANKIND. MAY YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR VIRTUE SERVE THE MEANING OF THE EARTH, MY BROTHERS: AND MAY THE VALUE OF ALL THINGS BE FIXED ANEW BY YOU. TO THAT END YOU SHOULD BE FIGHTERS! TO THAT END YOU SHOULD BE CREATORS! THE BODY PURIFIES ITSELF THROUGH KNOWLEDGE; EXPERIMENTING WITH KNOWLEDGE IT ELEVATES ITSELF.... at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 19: Of the bestowing virtue, part 3
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 19: Of the bestowing virtue, part 3, WHEN ZARATHUSTRA HAD SAID THESE WORDS HE PAUSED LIKE ONE WHO HAS NOT SAID HIS LAST WORD; LONG HE BALANCED THE STAFF DOUBTFULLY IN HIS HAND. AT LAST HE SPOKE THUS, AND HIS VOICE WAS DIFFERENT: I NOWGO AWAY ALONE, MY DISCIPLES! YOU TOO NOWGO AWAY AND BE ALONE! SO I WILL HAVE IT. TRULY, I ADVISE YOU: GO AWAY FROM ME AND GUARD YOURSELVES AGAINST ZARATHUSTRA! AND BETTER STILL: BE ASHAMED OF HIM! PERHAPS HE HAS DECEIVED YOU. THE MAN OF KNOWLEDGE MUST BE ABLE NOT ONLY TO LOVE HIS ENEMIES BUT ALSO TO HATE HIS FRIENDS. ONE REPAYS A TEACHER BADLY IF ONE REMAINS ONLY A PUPIL. AND WHY, THEN, SHOULD YOU NOT PLUCK AT MY LAURELS? YOU RESPECT ME; BUT HOW IF ONE DAY YOUR RESPECT SHOULD TUMBLE? TAKE CARE THAT A FALLING STATUE DOES NOT STRIKE YOU DEAD! at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 20: On the blissful islands
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 20: On the blissful islands, ZARATHUSTRA HAS RETURNED TO THE MOUNTAINS WHERE HE LIVES A SOLITARY EXISTENCE FOR MANY YEARS – UNTIL ONE MORNING HE HAS A DREAM. FILLED WITH NEW RESOLVE AND AN OVERWHELMING DESIRE TO SHARE HIS WORDS WITH HIS FRIENDS, ZARATHUSTRA SPEAKS THUS: BEHOLD, WHAT ABUNDANCE IS AROUND US! AND IT IS FINE TO GAZE OUT UPON DISTANT SEAS FROM THE MIDST OF SUPERFLUITY. ONCE YOU SAID ‘GOD’ WHEN YOU GAZED UPON DISTANT SEAS; BUT NOW I HAVE TAUGHT YOU TO SAY ‘SUPERMAN’. GOD IS A SUPPOSITION; BUT I WANT YOUR SUPPOSING TO REACH NO FURTHER THAN YOUR CREATING WILL. COULD YOU CREATE A GOD? – SO BE SILENT ABOUT ALL GODS! BUT YOU COULD SURELY CREATE THE SUPERMAN. PERHAPS NOT YOU YOURSELVES, MY BROTHERS! BUT YOU COULD TRANSFORM YOURSELVES INTO FOREFATHERS AND ANCESTORS OF THE SUPERMAN: AND LET THIS BE YOUR FINEST CREATING! at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 21: Of the compassionate
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 21: Of the compassionate, AS LONG AS MEN HAVE EXISTED, MAN HAS ENJOYED HIMSELF TOO LITTLE: THAT ALONE, MY BROTHERS, IS OUR ORIGINAL SIN! AND IF WE LEARN BETTER TO ENJOY OURSELVES, WE BEST UNLEARN HOW TO DO HARM TO OTHERS AND TO CONTRIVE HARM. THEREFORE I WASH MY HAND WHEN IT HAS HELPED A SUFFERER, THEREFORE I WIPE MY SOUL CLEAN AS WELL. FOR I SAWTHE SUFFERER SUFFER, AND BECAUSE I SAWIT IWAS ASHAMED ON ACCOUNT OF HIS SHAME; AND WHEN I HELPED HIM, THEN I SORELY INJURED HIS PRIDE.... ‘BE RESERVED IN ACCEPTING! HONOUR A MAN BY ACCEPTING FROM HIM!’ – THUS I ADVISE THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE. I, HOWEVER, AM A GIVER: I GIVE GLADLY AS A FRIEND TO FRIENDS. BUT STRANGERS AND THE POOR MAY PLUCK THE FRUIT FROM MY TREE FOR THEMSELVES: IT CAUSES LESS SHAME THAT WAY.... AND WE ARE THE MOST UNFAIR, NOT TOWARDS HIM WHOM WE DO NOT LIKE, BUT TOWARDS HIM FOR WHOM WE FEEL NOTHING AT ALL at energyenhancement.org

  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 22: Of the priests
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 22: Of the priests, AND ONE DAY ZARATHUSTRA MADE A SIGN TO HIS DISCIPLES AND SPOKE THESE WORDS TO THEM: HERE ARE PRIESTS: AND ALTHOUGH THEY ARE MY ENEMIES, PASS THEM BY QUIETLY AND WITH SLEEPING SWORDS!... THEY ARE BAD ENEMIES: NOTHING IS MORE REVENGEFUL THAN THEIR HUMILITY. AND HE WHO TOUCHES THEM IS EASILY DEFILED.... HE WHOM THEY CALL REDEEMER HAS CAST THEM INTO BONDAGE – INTO THE BONDAGE OF FALSE VALUES AND FALSE SCRIPTURES! AH, THAT SOMEONE WOULD REDEEM THEM FROM THEIR REDEEMER!... OH, JUST LOOK AT THESE HUTS THAT THESE PRIESTS HAVE BUILT THEMSELVES. CHURCHES THEY CALL THEIR SWEETSMELLING CAVES! OH THIS COUNTERFEIT LIGHT! OH THIS MUSTY AIR! HERE, WHERE THE SOUL MAY NOT FLY UP TO ITS HEIGHT! at energyenhancement.org
  • Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 23: The night song
    Zarathustra, A God That Can Dance Chapter 23: The night song, IT IS NIGHT: NOW DO ALL LEAPING FOUNTAINS SPEAK LOUDER. AND MY SOUL TOO IS A LEAPING FOUNTAIN. IT IS NIGHT: ONLY NOW DO ALL SONGS OF LOVERS AWAKEN. AND MY SOUL TOO IS THE SONG OF A LOVER. SOMETHING UNQUENCHED, UNQUENCHABLE, IS IN ME, THAT WANTS TO SPEAK OUT. A CRAVING FOR LOVE IS IN ME, THAT ITSELF SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE. LIGHT AM I: AH, THAT I WERE NIGHT! BUT THIS IS MY SOLITUDE, THAT I AM GIRDED ROUND WITH LIGHT.... I LIVE IN MY OWN LIGHT, I DRINK BACK INTO MYSELF THE FLAMES THAT BREAK FROM ME. I DO NOT KNOWTHE JOY OF THE RECEIVER; AND I HAVE OFTEN DREAMED THAT STEALING MUST BE MORE BLESSED THAN RECEIVING. IT IS MY POVERTY THAT MY HAND NEVER RESTS FROM GIVING; IT IS MY ENVY THAT I SEE EXPECTANT EYES AND ILLUMINED NIGHTS OF DESIRE.... at energyenhancement.org
