But in this vast ocean of change and var­iety—without knowable - TopicsExpress



          

But in this vast ocean of change and var­iety—without knowable aim, design or end, but which has an unseen guiding hand in back of it which I call Satanas-Aestheticus —I hold three things to be indestructible. There are three immanent Ideas in which all things float, three things which to me are metaphysical: Power, Beauty, Mirth. They are all ye need to know, and knowing them—realizing them—all the rest shall be added unto ye. Power. I conceive the Will-to-Power to be fundamental and irreducible. In this matter I am an absolute Nietzschean. Power is another name for Will. Both are mystical, metaphysical, a priori. Whatever exists wills dominion over something else. No mental or physical movement is conceiv­able without the idea of conquest. The word self-conquest means will-to-power. Buddha’s extinction in Nirvana is will-to­-power. It is a positive that admits of no negative. All ethical and religious systems are will-to-power. Power, my naïve Christ­ian-Socialist brother, is your secret dream. I shall unmask humility-f akers. -Benjamin DeCasseres
