Nietzsche as a noble youth
For as much as Nietzsche wrote on the will to power, life being its discharge, he was a youthful noble at best, a child learning (becoming) noble.
Not a rested, settled noble.
For what is this nobility Nietzsche speaks of?
It is the pearl of spirit.
The chakra located very high. It is of The Holy Spirit origin. Of Kundalini origin resting in spirit at a very high, advanced place.
Not the ulitmate for sure.
Those belong to Jesus, God and The Kingdom of Heaven.
But Nietzsche thoroughly explored this Pearl.
The way to understand and amuse a chakra is to raise one's awareness one higher. So lets call this Pearl-plus-one for now. I don't have a definitive name or image or colour yet.
But the way in which Nietzsche was childish and youthtful concerning Nobility or true aristocracy of spirit is obvious now. Amusing, yes.
Because as Nietzsche relegates the aspect of survival to a need for Will to power, he himself is only birthing nobility. Concerned with its conception. Its birthgiving into culture and man.
Not its esteemed being, its amusement of value creation.
Because that is what Nobility is. A Nobel spirit creates values. And a philosopher might ask, For what sake? And my answer is: Simply because it is part of Spirit.
If one attains enough of the Holy Spirit, at an advanced stage one will learn this Pearl chakra, the chakra or energy that creates value, that distincts class and is concerned with handsomeness, higher styles, a certain superiority, a higher intelligence and certainly also the distinction between who and what is noble, and what is common.
But all this writing by Nietzsche concerning it, although important as a cultural critique, and important for a growing soul, pains me as obviously deepening into, but still only just youthful glimpses of true nobility.
It has too much of a desire to attain nobillity, too much of a will to attain power. It wants to understand power dynamics even in language, goes to extremes to find out the affections of power, and its will, much like a child of an aristocrat might analyze his father's behaviour.
Meanwhile the father might laugh and put the child to work on the horse stables to learn a lesson; perhaps on fertility gained from horse dung, its peculiar smell and how it relates to a more refined perfume worn by true aristocracy.
Now imagine Nietzsche being the youthful rebellious nobel, contradicting and anti-thesing his Christrian father. On a European and philosophical playground. That's most of what there is to it, but it will be fun to explore further.
ReplyDeleteHis endless questions to his father, his endless deep wondering about the truth of his nobility, of what he is to become; yes he grasped a will to power, concerend himself too much with it to grow out of it; to grow into true aristocratic entertainment. Too serious a youth to be indifferent to himself like his father would be at times; not knowing yet time should grow one more wise; not attaining that wisdom; the questions being questions and not answers from his father.
ReplyDeleteThus, Nobility equals to pearl, as pearl-plus-one equals to Royalty.
ReplyDeleteNietzsche imagined aristocracy, yes, not royalty.
He was noble.
Not royal.
