Daily reminder that Advaita Vedanta is the be-all and end-all of philosophy and mysticism

[Anonymous No.10947220]

Bro you're fucked other systems are good. Anything having a "mystical" sense for the point of just being a cunt is bad. There is a difference between hiding necessary knowledge and just trying to seem cool. Like Hermeticism from 1000 - 1700. That's a pretty hidden knowledge school, but it is a philosophy and transcendent system. The Matter of Britain is another good one. Just because it's in India doesn't mean it's always good, though Vedanta isn't bad. I mean Shakti is a different way, but a valid way.

This is ηο place for the detailed proof οί this thesis, which would belong ίη a special study οί Nietzsche. We have already seen with regard to the "will to power" that it is not so much the general characteristic οί life, but one οί its possible manifestations, one οί its many faces. Το say that life "always surpasses itself," "wants to ascend, and to regenerate itself by rising and surpassing itself,"l or that the life's secret is "Ι am that which must always conquer itself"2 -all that is simply the result οί a very unusual vocation projecting itself to the dimensions οί a worldview. It is merely the reflection οί a certain nature, and by ηο means the general or objective character οί every existence. The foundation that really prevails ίη existence is much closer to Schopenhauer's formulation than to this one οί Nietzsche's; that is, the will to live as eternal and inexhaustible desire, not the will to power ίη the true sense, or the positive, ascending drive to dominance. It is οηlΥ, ίη fact, through the other dimension, that οί transcendence, that life presents those characteristics that Nietzsche mistakenly generalizes and thinks he can attribute to it when he sets up his new values. His imperfect understanding οί what was going οη inside him explains not οηlΥ the oscillations and limitations οί his philosophy, but also the tragic side οί his human existence. Οη the one hand, we have the theme οί a pure, naturalistic exaltation οί life, albeit ίη forms that betray a surrender οί being to the simple world οί instincts and passions; for the absolute affirmation οί the latter οη the part οί the will runs the danger οί their asserting themselves through the will, making it their servant. Οη the other hand, many and indeed prevalent are the testimonies to a reaction to life that cannot arise out οί life itself, but solely from a principle superior to it, as revealed ίη a characteristic phrase: "Spirit is the life that cuts through life" (Geist ist das Leben, das selber ins Leben schneidet}.
