Ascending the pine tree, descending into the mother, a new death dying. The fierce desire, which does not let go, to rebirth. Behold man, behold God. Forever is life.
friedrich nietzsche
At the end of last week I finally Thus Zarathustra spoke of Friedrich Nietzsche exquisitely. In the first period of this year that I read this book, this elegance, this intense desire, expressed in the most beautiful lyrics, I came to page 156, because I couldn't build it further. I read about 2 pages per day and that felt like a mountain rolling up a large round stone. The amount of impressions and the depth of the work were too great an attack on my then thought window.
A week or two ago I started again, on page 156, because I remained curious about this unusual, single, philosophical polemic by a man whose great talent was unfortunately too gibberish for personal ambitions of a very dark type. Curious, not least because Jung occasionally mentions the book in his equally elevated writings. This time I flew through, at least ten pages a day. Clear language this time, with ideas coming in in the same way as my savior on earth, Carl Gustaf Jung.
The attentive reader will certainly recognize the many winks in these paragraphs, but why I got back behind my keyboard is the urge to correct a great injustice. That Nietzsche is called a fascist because the Nazis have abused his lyrics in the service of their hideous, rücksichtslose . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Just as the very erudite and in my view very intelligent Carl Jung, who also had the best with man, unfortunately, has fallen prey to an extreme right-wing group in the United States and the brilliant interpreter of Jungs ideas, the Canadian professor Jordan Peterson unfortunately seems to have acquired a, perhaps not undeserved, questionable reputation, so Friedrich Nietzsche's extremely subtle mindset has been compromised.
The reader might think I'm worried about things that haven't been going on for a long time, but I think it's very relevant at this time to try to contribute to the restoration of a great philosopher, poet and writer, which I think should be mandatory, like Jung. I am aware of the fact that That I only call for a reversal of Having read Nietzsche and my speech may be very easy to shoot, but I'll take my chances.

Let's split this word up. It clearly falls apart in the words Pan and Trec. Pan translated from Latin means everything or everything encompassing and increase translated from Latin as creation. The words used separately mean from Latin translates: make a pan. But most famous is Pan probably from the Greek and Latin myths about him, see my earlier blog about Pan. Here, however, we can read pancreatic with some good will as to create all of them.
When I go one step further in my analogical thinking or so you want to create analytics, I get to Prometheus. I'll explain how I took that step. Prometheus steals the fire, the creation of the Gods of the Olympus of those same gods to give to the people. In some ancient Greek myths, Prometheus is even the creator of the first people. He created man from clay.
Stealing fire from the gods is, in my opinion, the same thing as creating, making something out of nothing. Fire used to arise from the beating of pebbles, which gave a spark by which persons who were in it could make fire. Fire is the light of the soul of man, the universal spark given us or not by God, or vice versa, the fire in man is his soul. But there's something else.
As punishment for his deed, the Gods, by mouth of Zeus, ensure that Prometheus is chained to a mountain in the Caucasus where the eagle Ethon comes to pick his liver from Prometheus' body and then eats it. In the night the liver grows again, after which the eagle returns in the morning to pick up the liver again and to eat it. This continues until Herakles ends as one of his twelve works, with the approval of Zeus, the eagle death and the eternal punishment. Is it a very big step to replace the liver with the pancreas, a similar organ?
Pancreatitis or pancreas inflammation (fire) can be caused by, among other things, excessive alcohol consumption (firewater). This inflammation can repeat which can lead to chronic pancreatic inflammation. It may also lead to pacreas carcinoma in some cases. Part of the pancreas is sometimes surgically removed. Life expectancy should not be overestimated. Unfortunately, the idea of creating everything will then be taken away from and eventually put out of the fire.
the shift
O how heavy the night is,
Closer to darkness.
I'm nervous.
The bed is an old sarcophagus.
It needs to sleep:
deferred falls
in eternal black
Of what has been.
How much rather the morning
and the budding early freedom,
Still shrouded in silence,
rising on the horizon,
passing light of what is to come.
The slow awakening.
Man of the fierce, great desire, what will it bring him?
Life wants to be conquered over and over again. . CG Jung, VW 2
Prisoner of freedom.
My work is no more or less than shoveling between the roots of the tree of life.
