Re-Arrange...
...*chuckles mirthlessly*...
Well that was a interesting episode...I thank all the participants...
Ahem, back to the Work...
More tomorrow...
~~~In the meantime...~~~
The death of God that Nietzsche discusses is for many (still today) an impending sense of fear. The fear is the loss of control to make sense of the world, the welcomed infiltration of their psyches by societal/religious norms. Any system of morality is still a system, a set of operational parameters used to define or restrict. The concept of the loss of God gives those who seek higher degrees of freedom the ability to see morality as operational parameters, and not Truth.
I do not fear a collapse of morality for myself, as I see it as the end result of a systematic attack on binding patterns. The collapse of any web of complex associations will lead to some new form, and if it is guided, perhaps the form will be more useful than the old (this is not a necessity!) There is fear of the collapse, but perhaps this is because I am finally seeing the anxiety that I have been dulled to ignore.
Yet, for all the anti-organized religious spiel the communities spout, it is expected that you still conform to a system of morality. Of course this is true from any “religious” system whether is Crowley-anity, Science, or even Satanism. Who enforces such models? Of course the true believers themselves do.
Everyone wants models to organize their beliefs (or so called lack of beliefs). Neitzche’s three-model stage of camel, lion, child, the model of YHVH, the model of fitting slot E into slot D. I like models because I am human and I like to use them. I get frustrated with people who want the model to live them instead of realizing that they are using the model as a tool. I also fear models; there is always the probability that I may become a “True Believer” (but of course that doesn’t stop me from playing with them.)
I suppose that I have issues with Truth. I don’t believe it. Yet I carry so many Truths still within me. It is an odd circumstance when you can convince yourself of the nature of no-Truth and yet still grasp as many Truths as you secretly can, as if you were drowning like an ant in a rainstorm. Yet these you also seek to root out and the process continues. That is probably (in all probabilities) the point (field?); it reduces (or expands) to the Process.
It appears that Nietzsche has a similar standpoint to Stirner where both seek the reduction of extraneous material, whether moral or virtue, and a rebirth from the solid point of self. This rebirth is focused on the body and the material world as the starting point overturning the dogma of the day where spirit descends to body. A Promethean reversal, which was needed as a counterpoint to the age, but why deal in such antagonisms now, why not have both spirit and body grow together in synthesis to become…
