40 Belief-Shaking Remarks From a Ruthless Nonconformist
40 Belief-Shaking Remarks From a Ruthless Nonconformist
by DAVID on MARCH 26, 2010
If there’s one thing Friedrich Nietzsche did well, it’s obliterate feel-good beliefs people have about themselves. He has been criticized for being a misanthrope, a subvert, a cynic and a pessimist, but I think these assessments are off the mark. I believe he only wanted human beings to be more honest with themselves.
He did have a remarkable gift for aphorism — he once declared, “It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.” A hundred years after his death, Nietzsche retains his disturbing talent for turning a person’s worldview upside-down with one jarring remark.
Even today his words remain controversial. They hit nerves. Most of his views are completely at odds with the status quo.
Here are 40 unsympathetic statements from the man himself. Many you’ll agree with. Others you will resist, but these are the ones to pay the most attention to — your beliefs are being challenged. It’s either an opportunity to grow, or to insist that you already know better. If any of them hit a nerve in you, ask yourself why.
***
1. People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.
2. He that humbleth himself wishes to be exalted.
3. The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
4. There are no facts, only interpretations.
5. Morality is but the herd-instinct in the individual.
6. No one talks more passionately about his rights than he who in the depths of his soul doubts whether he has any.
7. Without music, life would be a mistake.
8. Anyone who has declared someone else to be an idiot, a bad apple, is annoyed when it turns out in the end that he isn’t.
9. In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.
10. The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.
11. A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.
12. We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the way in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us.
13. No victor believes in chance.
14. Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.
15. Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.
16. It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
17. The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
18. The future influences the present just as much as the past.
19. The most common lie is that which one tells himself; lying to others is relatively an exception.
20. I counsel you, my friends: Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.
21. Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, is what makes someone a friend.
22. God is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight.
23. Success has always been a great liar.
24. Nothing on earth consumes a man more quickly than the passion of resentment.
25. What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.
26. Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.
27. When a hundred men stand together, each of them loses his mind and gets another one.
28. When one has a great deal to put into it a day has a hundred pockets.
29. Whoever despises himself nonetheless respects himself as one who despises.
30. All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.
31. What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
32. Fear is the mother of morality.
33. A politician divides mankind into two classes: tools and enemies.
34. Everyone who has ever built anywhere a new heaven first found the power thereto in his own hell.
35. There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
36. The mother of excess is not joy but joylessness.
37. The Kingdom of Heaven is a condition of the heart — not something that comes upon the earth or after death.
38. What is the mark of liberation? No longer being ashamed in front of oneself.
39. Glance into the world just as though time were gone: and everything crooked will become straight to you.
40. We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.

what "spiritual love" truly is
"You will understand what love truly is when you stop thinking ofit as a feeling. Feeling is necessarily subject to variation,depending on who it is meant for, while genuine love is a stateof consciousness independent of beings and circumstances.To love is not to have a feeling for someone but to live in loveand do everything with love - speak, walk, eat, breathe, studywith love... Love arises when we have brought all our organs,cells and faculties into a state of harmony, so that they vibratein unison in light and peace. So love is a permanent state ofconsciousness. Those who have attained this state ofconsciousness feel their whole being imbued with divine fluids,and everything they do is a melody."
Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
The Mighty Waters, by T. Freeman
When the Mighty Waters cover your head, suffocating the soul and the flame that burnt inside...
When raging torrents of confusion drag you away in their current, ripping you from your hold on Life...
Look deeper. Beyond the soul.
For the soul itself, as well as the flame it holds, are rooted in a serene Godly World of Emanation, a world of quietness and sublime harmony.
But the turbulence of this world is rooted even beyond that, stemming from a World of Confusion, of light unbounded and untamed, before the orderly emanation of defined being, "--and the world was confused and void, with darkness over the face of the deep."
So you must dig deeper than those roots, to find the coals from which the flame arose and the flint rock from which the spark was struck. Deeper, until you reach the primordial essence of the soul, beyond Emanation, beyond Light -even beyond the unbounded light of pre-creation. Where there is nothing but the seminal thought which inspired all that is and was and will come to be.
And what was that thought? It was the thought of you here and now, in your struggle with this world, and the delicious taste of your victory.
And, since in that thought there is no past and future, there, in that thought, you have already won.
Now you must make it happen.
Les prophéties de la voyante Baba Vanga
10 juin 2010
Baba Vanga, le Président noir et la Troisième Guerre Mondiale
Près de 15 ans après sa mort, la célèbre prophétesse bulgare Baba Vanga fait de nouveau parler d’elle !
Récemment, l’une de ses prophéties a été redécouverte et fait grand bruit : elle annonçait l’élection d’un président noir aux Etats-Unis suivi d’un conflit mondial qui ressemble beaucoup à ce que l’on pourrait appeler d’ici peu la ” 3ème guerre mondiale ” ! La célèbre voyante bulgare, Baba Vanga, née Vangelia Goushterova , est décédée à l’âge de 80 printemps en 1996 ; elle est désormais un véritable mythe dans les Balkans.
Baba Vanga, aveugle mais clairvoyante
Comme Tirésias – le vieux prophète révéré des Grecs qui révéla à Oedipe sa terrible destinée – Baba Vanga était aveugle, mais voyait au-delà des apparences et du temps :elle pouvait lire l’avenir de l’Homme…
Ses prophéties se sont pour la plupart confirmées dans le temps (80 % selon les données de l’Institut de Parapsychologie Bulgare, un taux de réussite inégalé !). Elle a exercé 55 années durant et ses consultations attiraient chaque année des milliers de personnes venues du monde entier.
En 1989, l’une de ses prophéties passa inaperçue, et pourtant… Elle avait prédit la tragédie du 11 septembre 2001 et décrivait les attentats-suicides contre les tours jumelles du World Trade Center de New-York !
Obama et la Troisième Guerre Mondiale
Aujourd’hui, plusieurs de ses prophéties affolent les spécialistes et sur les forums Internet la nouvelle se répand.
Selon Baba Vanga, la 3ème guerre mondiale débutera en Octobre 2010 pour s’achever quatre ans plus tard. Les principaux belligérants seront le Grand Ouest (pays nord-occidentaux) et le Croissant (plusieurs pays musulmans). Il s’agira d’une guerre sans précédent qui verra l’utilisation d’armes nucléaires, chimiques et qui détruira l’hémisphère Nord. L’ordre mondial sera totalement modifié. La Chine s’imposera comme la première puissance mondiale.
Cette terrible prophétie est à corréler à une autre : en 1979, elle avait prédit l’élection d’un président noir aux États-Unis au début du XXIème Siècle. Ce président noir a été élu, il s’agit évidemment d’Obama, Baba Vanga ne s’était pas trompée !
Elle ajouta que ce serait le dernier président des États-Unis, car ces derniers cesseraient d’exister peu de temps après son élection…
Si l’on couple ces deux prophéties, le trouble s’installe : L’une des deux s’est réalisée, et l’autre approche ! Comment ne pas prendre en compte cette menace qui approche ?
Si l’on considère le taux de 80% de réalisation des prophéties de Baba Vanga, il y a huit chances sur dix pour que la 3ème guerre mondiale commence vraiment dans quelques mois à peine…

Les prophéties de la voyante Bulgare Baba Vanga (1916-1996)
La célèbre voyante Bulgare, Baba Vanga (1916-1996) savait lire l’avenir, au-delà des apparences, au delà du visible…
Régulièrement publiées par la presse mondiale, ses prophéties se sont pour la plupart confirmées dans le temps. Selon les données de l’Institut de Parapsychologie Bulgare, 80 % des prophéties de Vanga se sont accomplies.
Pour avoir prédit la mort de Staline, elle passera 6 mois en prison. Bien avant les faits, elle annoncera la catastrophe de Tchernobyl en 1986, l’élection lors des présidentielles en Russie de Boris Yelstin en 1991, le destin tragique du sous marin nucléaire russe Koursk : « Koursk sera noyée par les eaux, le monde pleurera sa disparition. » A l’époque personne n’avait compris sa prédiction et fait le rapprochement avec le sous marin russe qui a sombré dans la mer de Barents avec ses 118 membres d’équipage, le 18 août 2000. La ville de Koursk se situe au beau milieu de la plaine Russe, très loin des mers et des fleuves !
En 1989, elle annonçait le drame du 11 septembre 2001 et décrivait les attentats-suicides contre les tours jumelles du World Trade Center de New-York, en ces termes : « A l’automne 2001, nos frères américains seront attaqués par des oiseaux d’aciers, le sang des innoncents sera versé… »
