The Spiritual Man   34 / 46

Zarathustra returns again

Zarathustra, face as brass, made his way to the town square accompanied by several disciples. A crowd gathered around him and he looked upon them with a stellar love. The hearts of his disciples emptied and their spirits soared. The people were struck silent. He spoke:

I seek not the spirit of man, but the heart of the Earth. I go not the way of your Gods, nor your Supreme Consciousness.

You work to conserve the environment, asking reasonableness of others - I tell you, look down at your own feet! Once, Nature was named "God" and you immediately made "God" into an image of yourselves. Later, the earth was named "Gaya" and suffered the same fate. You say you want to live in accordance with Nature - Nature, that purposeless chaos! - who among you would live with such a thing? To live with Her one must be as mad and unrestrained as Nature Herself. You not only want to tame Nature, but to remold Her into a clone of your evil selves.
