Could you go on if everything petrified, if every hope squashed, if every love unrequited, and every stirring strained?
If so, one must become monstrous
and if necessary,
A tyrant.
- ye water bearers of dried out wells!

As Freud has shown, and as Shakespeare has wrote ' Mankind has fixed his cannon 'gainst self slaughter' .... we call this fact ' social progress'

If life wants to be born, it must do two things. Firstly, it must break the egg and secondly, it must devour it.

The new faustian drama known to man, moving from the Hamletian mode of drama and introspection to to the Macbethian 'dawn of the abyss' drama of muteness, of proleptic imagination, of irrational hues and the meridian of the sun sinking into the mire : which concerns the final revelation to man's infinite vanity - Despite your logic, despite your technology you're still the burnt offerings of nature's indifference and bound to calumny and suffering as always before, and always will be.

Man's raison d'etre is to discharge himself. It is the modus operandi of all living beings. To fight, eat and excrete - All are representitives of the will and subservient to it. Yet a distinction lies between two types of human - The extrovert lives to discharge himself in sexual relations, and the introvert in power relations. One would be well not to draw a distinction between the great tyrant and the great poet : In force and will they're similar - They both desire to immolate and petrify themselves, and to remould the world into their own image. One would only have to look at the relationship between art and tyrants - Hitler failed painter. Napoleon - Playwright - Philosopher. Stalin - Poet. Alexander the great - Philosopher.

We all suffer from a rigidity of the mind - Deep pits can have divine ends. - Moral judgements are a disease of the will and highlight an austerity of the mind : One has to let truth unfold before one homogenises it.

God himself is APPARENT in his hiding - He laughs and mocks at effigies in praise and he praises when both invoke his name; God himself was never more apparent than in the holocaust : As one's function is more distinct in motion. One would be well advised to ask what this means : If the projection of the will is the height [reprehensibly so] of invoking divination and human achievement?

The moralists cite Macbeth as the danger of ambition; forgetting the suffering of restrained passion. Is self preservation really more desirable than the will to power? Would a Liberal moralist really choose not to love because loving contains longing, is not the price of a kiss paid for in its longing? But take this question into a different formulation : namely, religion - Would one belittle a religious crusade, or meaning, because espousing your god means destroying the other? Here we see the ludicrousness of eschewing Jingonism, Religious belief, and will - which formed the cultured and foundations of Art and Science and the 'depth of culture'. However, one here can see the dichotomy which faces man - The decadent herd instinct which refutes this forms the basis of Civilization, with it's own form of warmth - Community and Living standards - which is the basis of Socialism and Liberalism, which is the destiny of all civilization; and a final twist - All growths carry the forms of their own destruction.
A basic cycle : Barbarianism - Symbol formulation - Culture - Civilization - Apocalypse.
Or, more realistically,
Unconscious Trauma - Ego development - Affirmation of the ‘I’ - Collectively of the ‘I’ - Return of Repressed

One cannot talk of a historical process without locating where its beginning was. And if history is a process and has a definite goal then it’s axiomatic that history has a living process. This process is always linked to the tradition its born from. As Berdyaev can competently show, the philosophy of history stemmed from the Christian tradition opposed from the Hellenic world because of the eschatological revelation was to be revealed in the future : The divine Revelation and the coming of Jesus. This gave history a specific metaphysical quality and the metaphysical a historical process. Every event in history was unique, symptomatic and not subject to cycles of harmony, as postulated in the Hellenic world or as external events of mere phenomena, non impinging on the inner metaphysical realities of the Hindu tradition. Thus Christianity brought free will, and an uncertain destiny into the human conception of the historical as a dynamic process. Therefore one cannot even critique a historical event or manifestation without relating it back to it’s historical tradition. Thus even people who don’t believe in Christianity have inherited a Christian consciousness and destiny, [i.e. Marxism, Liberalism, Scientism and Atheism.] Marxism and Scientism are in fact doctrines of salvation. In the case of Scientism [like the Christian tradition] is always professing the utopian future, and Scientism mimics Christianity is professing similar dogmatic stances such as ’ through us is the only way -either to god, or divine understanding. And when this stance rains down horror after horror, man is still told the sanctified lie and like the last line Imre Madach’s play ’The tragedy of Man’ Adam is told to ’ Strive on’ by a capricious God who has only given a man a bleak future : A wasteland. One can ask, like Nietzsche ’ Is man god’s mistake, or is god man’s mistake?
