Okay, let's talk a little bit about Nietzsche's Zarathustra.
I promise that I will not extend this philosophical concept much.
It is just a reflection.
Nietzsche is one of my philosophical masters, and this book is one of my favorite books.
I see philosophy not only as a human science, but also as a spiritualist aspect.
If you expand your mind trying to understand about yourself and the life around you, you expand your knowledge and awaken the flame of your spirit.
You learn a lot by seeing life through the eyes of these great thinkers.
The Zarathustra, besides being one of the main lighthouses of modern philosophy, is also a beautiful expression of poetic liturgy.
Of course, in order to have a better understanding of its poetic meaning you better read the book in German.
Either way, Zarathustra is a philosophical masterpiece, as are all of Nietzsche's literary works.
Ok, let's get straight to the point: In Zarathustra, Nietzsche talks to himself, or rather, he talks to his wisdom.
He climbs on top of a high mountain and has an encounter with himself.
When Nietzsche arrives at the top of the mountain he finds an attributed being of great wisdom. This is Zarathustra.
It is as if Nietzsche found himself in the form of God.
Nietzsche is a humanist, and in his view, God is also a human, but with great wisdom and vast knowledge.
What Nietzsche intends with this book is for you to look within yourself and find yourself.
He wants you to have the wisdom and knowledge of a god, but without losing your humanity.
That is why he addresses deities, beliefs, faith, and human pain and frustrations. Nietzsche believed that if God were human he would have a greater understanding of his creation.
Okay, let's make this more logical:
What would you do if you find yourself on this mountain?
What do you think your wisdom would say to you?
Would you stay on top of this mountain to contemplate all this beauty, or would you go down the mountain to rescue something you left down there?
What advice would you give to yourself?
Did you live everything you wanted to live?
Did you do everything you wanted to do?
Did you love as you always wanted to love, and were you loved as you always wanted to be loved?
Did you learn everything that you wanted to learn, or that you needed to learn in this life?
If you only had one day to live in this world, what would you do?
Are you really happy, or are you still looking for happiness?
What is your life worth to you? What would you say to yourself if you find yourself now?
Did you achieve everything you wanted to achieve?
Did you live everything you wanted to live, or do you think you think you still need to go down this mountain to rescue it?
This is what this book is about.
In Nietzsche's view, God is the Zarathustra, or himself within his universe, with all his wisdom, knowledge, pain, and human lessons.
This book brings a great teaching. It is as if Nietzsche left the recipe for a perfect cake, but that he cannot make for himself and eat it.
Nietzsche is so humanist that he left the recipe for his best cake for all of you to eat for free.
This concept of finding God in ourselves is interesting, but my concept of God is a little different from Nietzsche's.
I see God in the form of Beyoncé or Rihanna.
This is my concept of God, or Goddesses.
I am quite sure that God is a beautiful and powerful woman.
Okay, let's continue with today's philosophical lesson:
Many people cannot live the best moments of their lives because they are stuck in their own chains
This life is like a moving train.
We don't know what the last season will be.
That is why we have to live this life intensely, and get rid of these chains that bind us. Life is much bigger than all these small and insignificant things.
People complicate things too much when everything can be simpler.
Happiness is sometimes in the simplest things in life, but some people cannot see or feel it because they are stuck in their own limitations.
How many people did you not love because of your own fears and prejudices?
How much life did you fail to live? How many cool things have you not done because of your insecurities? Life is happening right now, and what are you doing?
How many times are you going to have to descend this mountain to learn this?
Make the most of your life. Love whoever you want to love.
Make every second of your life worth it in this world.
Be happy without worrying about what others will say or think.
This is your life, and you live your life the way you want it.
Value all your ideas.
Go in search of your dreams.
Go in search of the great love of your life.
Free yourself from your fears and prejudices.
Don't be afraid to say what you think.
Knowledge is the key to wisdom. It is never too late to learn.
The more you expand your knowledge the more the doors of the universe will open for you.
Share your ideas.
Share your experiences.
It doesn't matter if you are young or old.
Each lesson is valid in this life.
We are here to learn and also to teach.
Give value to each day of your life.
Do everything you haven't done yet and always wanted to do.
This life is an extraordinary odyssey and you are the astronaut of your own universe.
Don't let the little things get to you.
Every negative thought you have hurts your soul.
Do not be contaminated by hatred.
When you hate someone or when you wish bad for someone, it comes back to you. All the hatred you carry in your heart is bad for yourself, not for the people you hate. Every time you have a negative, mediocre, or pessimistic thought, this is bad for your soul. You bring this disease to yourself every time you have negative thoughts.
Many people carry their own Crosses because they are not able to get rid of them.
Do not feel sorry for yourself, and do not judge yourself.
As long as you are alive in this world you will have the chance to rescue what you have left behind and to find your own happiness.
Just live your life and do everything you feel like doing without worrying about what others will think or say.
It is never too late for you to reach out to help someone, and it is never too late for you to ask for help.
You will only be able to contemplate the beauty at the top of this mountain when you live all your human experiences in this life.
The more love you have in your heart the more human and the wiser you will be. You are your own Zarathustra.
Make it worth every second of your life
This is the advice that my friend Nietzsche and I left here for you.
Blue 💙
