Neo-Nietzschean forms of Spirituality

I hesitate to give a definition for two things - what exactly a Neo-Nietzschean is, or indeed what Neo-Nietzscheans who also embrace spiritual beliefs (or indeed Knowings) are. All I can say is I am a living example of just that.

People seem to fuse at the hip spirituality with being 'nice'. Well, I'm nice I suppose but I'm also not-nice! I am an Ape, and Overman (Ubermensch), dare I say?

Nietzsche, the Towering Genius. Those who have only ever had a cursory reading of who Nietzsche was, what his main philosophy was (ie. haven't actually read any of his books, many of which are veritable Tomes) just don't get it.

Those who have read Nietzsche's books in the wrong order (starting out with the wrong book/s first...this is a problem endemic to understanding his Greatness), they just don't get it either.

Nietzsche was a Master Psychologist. Before the field of Psychology existed. In a Fight with Freud, he would destroy Freud in a matter of seconds. In a Fight with Carl Jung he would be narrowly defeated by Jung, in my opinion, but that's only because Jung had spirituality on his side... (no fair!)

and Here is where me and dear Fritz part ways - sorry man, but you were wrong. There is a Paranormal Aspect to existence.

But hey, no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater, by no means! Hell, no!

Now, others will give you a different list of the Order to read Nietzsche's most important works in, but who cares. Here's My List (writes you a prescription like a Herr Doktor) *scribbles*

1878 Human, All to Human (The COMPLETE Version, not just the Penguin Paperback. That only has part one. there's two extra parts, Assorted Opinions and Maxims, and The Wanderer and his Shadow

1881 Daybreak (also translated The Dawn)

1883 The Gay Science (it means 'The Joyful Wisdom, silly. it was the 19th century)

NOW

read these three - not necessarily in their entireties or even in order (either individually from front-to-back, or the three books as a whole...this is whats great about Nietzsche you can dip in and out, but be careful not to forget what you have and haven't read)

and also read these three in tandem with

1886 Beyond Good and Evil

1888 Twilight of the Idols

There you go, that's my prescription, and one last piece of advice. His most fun writings are the ones where it's a short aphorism of one single sentence, or maybe two, three or four. They are like Diamonds

All Hail Nietzsche
