It’s eerie how even the first two pages contain some of my blog posts! I know where my content comes from, but I’m told there is no sign Nietszche’s also came from any such personal mystic experience.
So I’m thinking the social conventions of his age would have been a threat to any declaration of a mystical source for his reputation as a genius … so he hid them!
On the other hand he does seem to be the kind of person to have been combatively delighted to take on conventions he despised!
Reblog these posts as much as you like. No copyright is imposed. About the author: Keith is a "pratyeka" mystic according to Buddhism because his Mystical Experiences of Reality (MER) were spontaneous. (He is not a Buddhist or member of any religion). He had MERs every year from the age of 15 to 35 years of age. Pratyeka mystics don't teach, preach, evangelise, or prosletise what they know. However, when Keith recognises those who are chosen and driven to seek Ultimate Reality he does reach out to them, cautiously, to help them stop floundering and recognise themselves, know what is happening to them. Then his inclination is to remove himself unless called upon. All Is Well.
