Also Sprach Zarathustra
| Also Sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spoke Zarathustra) is a work of German philosopher and freemason Friedrich Nietzsche, published in 1883. Nietzsche played a role in the Pluto in Taurus era, transformation of religion (era of Nietzsche declaring God is dead, Darwinism turning humans into evolved monkeys, and Freud turning them into primitive sex maniacs, Crowley's Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). Nietzsche's philosophy influenced both the cultural marxists of the Frankfurt School (the Left Wing Church) and Adolf Hitler's nazi party, anti-democratic fascism of Mussolini (Mars, Roman Empire, the Right Wing Church) and postmodernism (Jacques Derrida). Like Darwinism, he preached a philosophy of survival of the fittest. The work used biblical metaphors. | wn |
Zarathustra is the Iranian (Aryan) monotheistic prophet Zoroaster. Nietzsche attacked the slave morality of Christianity and announced the Death of God, a moral crisis in Western culture. He also wrote The Dawn (=Golden Dawn) with a quote of the Hinduist Rigveda. He ended as a madman with delusions of grandeur, calling himself Dionysus (god of madness) and the Antichrist. His sister was an antisemite like Richard Wagner, married Bernhard Förster and lived in a German colony in Paraguay.
