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.
