what is a life (notes taking)

(the view of Nietzsche)

For Nietzsche,its that which overcomes itself,it eats itself and births itself.getting more powerful with each iteration。

the spirt must go through three stages to become free.

transformation 1

the spirt becomes a camel

camel=preserver

it studies, absorbs.it's disciplined

transformation 2

the camel becomes the lion

lion=destroyer,

lion stands against tradition and the statues quo.it battles it for freedom.

transformation 3

the lion must become the child

the chird=creator

creation=redemption

the child is a new beginning .It lives by its own valus and its own will.it has the potential to redeem the past and give birth to a brighter future.

the story of the three stages is the story of self=overcoming.

Nietzsche said:

"Man come from ape,overman comes after man".

“None of us can be the overman,but we can be the catalyst for it,we can become the fruit that carries the seeds of a sweeter future,the fertile soil from which the grandest tree grows and the clouds out of which the lighting comes.

the spirt must go throught to become free

stage 1:want to serve for the dragon foand learn from it.

transformation1. the spirit becomes a camel

when the spirit comes into being,it's confronted by the great ,golden dragon.the spirit is filed with awe and respect for the dragon.but in realizing the greatness of the dragon,it realizes its own inadequacies. the spirit wishes to serve the dragon and learn weverything that it must do.so that it mya take part in its greatness.

stage2 :awake and relizes that self is become a slave and merely a tool.and dragon is a kind of hinder now .now self yearns for freedom.

transofrm 2 the camel becomes the lion,

(a beast of burden to a destroyer.)

the lin stands against tradition and the status quo.

the camel is a preserver:it studies,absorbs and upholds the values of the dragon and upholds the values of the dragon.it's disciplined.it maintains order in the realm by bearing the burdens of others .it takes pride in its ability to bear burdens,and it should.in many ways ,this is an act of heroism.the camel bears the burden of others and in doing so ,lightens their load.but,eventualy ,the camels relizes that not all things sould be preserved and some burdens are too much to bear.it realize that it's become a slave to the will and values of another.the camels is merely a tool

the lion starts to see certain traditions as unworthy of being preserved.instead of serving the dragon,the lion battles it for freedom in this moment ,ths spirit must learn to destroy the thing that it once respeeted the most .This is difficult because overcoming the dragon means that the lion also has to overcome a part of itself.

like the camel,the lion is a reaction.the spirit is still tied to and dependent on the dragon. but this battle for freedom ,the courage to say no opens up a new space of possibility .

if destruction is possible ,so is creation.if we can fall,then we can rise.

transformation 3

the lion must become the child

the child is a creator .creation is redemption.all of the mistakes of the past ,including our own can be redeemed.if something better can be made from them.the child must learn to forget the past.and not hold resentment to those who came before.those who came before did ,after all .fertilize the soil out of which they grew.every from of life ,preying an each other and giving birth to one another ,led to the birth of you.can you redeem all of their pain and suffering.can your life be used to create something that benefits all of life?the child is a new beginning.it lives by its own values and its own will.it has the potential to redeem the past and give birth to a brighter future

the camel,the lone and the child ,these are the three stages that the spirit must traverse to become free.the story of self-overcoming.it's the story of the one who can become tradition before overcoming tradition.the one who can overcome themselves becomes more powerful,and through ceation tehy can make all of life more pwerful.they can redeem our sufferings.who among you can become the overflowing cup from which others can drink.the ocean that can't be contaminated by a dirty river.and the sun around which the planets revolve like the sun can you shine unconditionally for all around you .unconscious of even the good that you do those of you who can niezsche would say:are the storm could out of which the overman will thunder
