Bamboo Forest – In the pueblo

Sometimes it appears that we’re reaching a period when our senses and our minds will no longer respond to moderate stimulation. We seem to be approaching an Age of The Gross. Persuasion through speeches and books is too often discarded for disruptive demonstrations aimed at bludgeoning the unconvinced into action. The young – and by this I don’t mean by any stretch of the imagination all the young, but I’m talking about those who claim to speak for the young – at the zenith of physical power and sensitivity, overwhelm themselves with drugs and artificial stimulants.

We are left alone staring into the abyss. Into the laughing face of madness. We work in the dark. We do what we can to battle the evil that would otherwise destroy us. But sometimes the weight of this burden causes us to falter, breaching the fragile fortress of our mind. Allowing the monster without to turn within. We are left alone staring into the abyss. Into the laughing face of madness.

Atma – The Rise Of Overman

We sit together the mountain and i, until only the mountain remains. Man is a rope, tied between beast and Overman — a rope over an abyss. A dangerous across, a dangerous on-the-way, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous shuddering and stopping. What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end: what can be loved in man is that he is an overture and a going under. I love those who know how to live, for they are those who cross over.

Atma – Intro

Sometimes I admit to myself that it’s possible I will never be able to finish my life’s work. My one and only book…
