Nietzsche's Zarathustra and shamanic destruction and regeneration

ZARATHUSTRA:


"Thou lonesome one, thou goest the way to thyself! And past thyself and thy seven devils leadeth thy way!

"A heretic wilt thou be to thyself, and a wizard and a sooth-sayer, and a fool, and a doubter, and a reprobate, and a villain.

"Ready must thou be to burn thyself in thine own flame; how couldst thou become new if thou have not first become ashes!"

Contemporary Nietzschean:

"It's a trick to get rid of the riff-raff of society!

Nietzsche surely wants to get rid of those who don't fit in.

Nietzsche was thrilled by a only by self-certainty and by uprightness in relation to the law. So, quite obviously, he set up little tricks like this, to trap the unwary into their destruction."


ZARATHUSTRA:

"The furthest ones are they who pay for your love to the near ones; and when there are but five of you together, a sixth must always die."
