A description of the experience
Thus spake Zarathustra - Nietzsche
Then was there again spoke, unto me without voice: ‘What matter about thyself? Thou art not yet humble enough for me. Humility hath the hardest skin’…
Then was there again spoken unto me without voice: ‘What matter about their mockery! Thou art one who hast unlearned to obey; now shalt thou command!
Knowest thou not who is most needed by all? He who commandeth great things.
To execute great things is difficult: but the more difficult task is to command great things.
This is thy most unpardonable obstinacy: thou hast the power, and thou wilt not rule.’
And I answered: ‘I lack the lion’s voice for all commanding’.
Then was there again spoken unto me as a whispering: It is the stillest words which bring the storm. Thoughts that come with doves’ footsteps guide the world.
