Nietzsche's Mistake


Nietzsche's mistake was in seeing the Will of the instincts as Dionysian rather than Apollonian. The Will has a primary goal, which is to activate life to evolve to Godhood. This is not Dionysian chaos, although it is not a precise path, as evolution and natural selection take various paths, and can move sideways and backward. The Spirit-Will is the Will To Godhood, not the chaotic will-to-goalless-power of Nietzsche.

Nietzsche saw the debilitating blocking of the Will in the Revealed Religions and it was this he reacted to, and mainly for this reason he rejected religion and rejected the God of religions.

Our view of the Spirit-Will or the Will To Godhood affirms religion rather than rejecting it, by affirming the Twofold Path. We see traditional religion as having discovered the first view of God inwardly, by consciously blocking the instincts so as to see or experience the inward God. This was a first step. The next stage is reaching the Godhood first seen inwardly, and for this the will of the instincts, or the Spirit-Will, is Apollonian, with a sacred goal, to activate evolution all the way to Godhood in the cosmos.
