Poison for the Heart

 

 

The Spiritual Man  •  Zarathustra returns again   35 / 46

The Earth endowed you with a mind, but what do you know of it? You do not respect even your own minds, yet preach respectfulness towards others! What faith have you in reason? You teach, by the teaching of your life, that reason is of no worth. You worship altered states of consciousness, common dirt, and call them "religious experiences". You worship feelings, the foul excrement of the ego. Your life proclaims "Believe as you will - follow your heart's desire" - I would fain tear your heart from you with my bare hands! You may be intelligent, but you are not intelligent enough! We live, but what of those to come?
