It was a while before I stumbled across 'The Nietzsche Channel'. It almost saddens me that there is not more of an interest in the kind of 'truth' portrayed in his books.
A few years ago, I went through... a transitional point in my life. I had been raised and was very active in the modern american 'church'. I was even in school to become a pastor. Until I was, and I quote, 'Excommunicated'. Once that foundation had been cracked, I had nothing but my unbridled thoughts to contend with. They (the thoughts) were almost seizing me, flowing, no, hemoraging from my mind to paper. I let a friend of mine at Auburn University read a few, and he said 'Oh, this sounds just like Nietzsche'. I had never heard that name before then, and I went out and purchased 'beyond good and evil'.
It was almost like reading my own words. Over and over again i saw what i had written down reiterated in his books. To tell you the truth, i was in fear that I was slowly losing my mind... until i came across at least another conciousness that was on the same wavelength.
And now, upon discovering this 'Nietzsche Channel', hopefully i'll have the joy of interacting with those whos pursuit of 'truth' is just as uncanny as mine.
