What it Means to Be Nietzschean and the NATURE of Nature’s God

If you want to know what it means to be Nietzschean, it is worth reading the book The Call of The Wild by Jack London. This is a book about a regal dog belonging to an estate in California named Buck that gets taken by thieves and turned into a sled dog. This dog is forced back into nature, into competition with the other sled dogs for food and affection. Buck realizes that life isn’t fair or kind. Other dogs stole his food, treated him like shit, and to survive, he had to adopt their same principles. Something he called the Law of Club and Fang.

Now, to find yourself in the situation of Buck — stolen from your aristocratic estate in California and forced into the harsh winters of Canada and later, Alaska, it would be easy to throw in the towel. To despair and quit. To let yourself freeze or starve to death to escape your torment. But that was not the nature of Buck. Buck believed himself elite. He learned the Law of Club and Fang and worked his way up the ranks. He fought for and won the position of pacer at the head of the sled. His climb to the top brought him power and glory. It was for Buck as Nietzsche said, “Life is an instinct for growth, for survival, for the accumulation of forces, for power.

But life for a dog is often tragic as evidenced by the cruelty we see done to animals even today. His owners needed money and sold the sled dogs to a pioneer family who did not know how to use sled dogs. They ran Buck to the brink of death. He accepted what was about to happen as his cruel owner beat him to an inch of his life. But that was not to be his end. A frontiersman stopped the cruel owner and took Buck as his own. He revived the regal dog and brought him back to prominence. It was through this frontiersman that Buck took the next step. He became legend. I will not spoil for you, you must read book for yourself.

To be Nietzchean is to strive for excellence. Strive for higher. Strive to be the best. No one gets a fair shot. Some are born with the world within their reach, others get born without limbs. As Jonathan Bowden said, nature just spits out life. Your situation will be unique, but how you will be judged as a man is your ability to master the conditions you were born into. How can you master space and put yourself in position to conquer more space, to expand your territory?

This talk on Nietzsche and what it means to be Nietzschean is very important. Many will try to slander Nietzsche for whatever his perceived faults. Make no mistake, he was a man and a soldier. Nietzsche had secret connection back into nature, something in his time was hidden. The experience of our ancestors wasn’t like the modern experience. For example, literacy was almost non-existent before the Protestant Reformation. There is this firm belief that Christianity isn’t a Jewish faith that sort of gets laughed at today, but when you realize your ancestors were being hand-fed selections of Christian scripture over hundreds of years, it’s not how to understand why Christians feel that Christianity is not Jewish. That the two are opposed. I like to quote Richard of Devizes to illustrate this point:

“On the very day of the coronation, about that solemn hour, in which the Son was immolated to the Father, a sacrifice of the Jews to their father the devil was commenced in the city of London, and so long was the duration of the famous mystery, that the holocaust could scarcely be accomplished the ensuing day.” -Richard of Devizes

Let us not, however, get distracted by this divide. The Christians have forgotten about the reality of nature. Nature has been made to subservient to the Christian faith. Not God, but the faith and the Bible. There are many problems with this. The Bible has been disseminated to the masses and Christianity suffers for it. It started with the Protestant Reformation, but don’t confuse the Puritans or the other sects of being anything like modern Christians.

The Puritans and many of the other Protestant sects were extremely tribal. They duly studied the Bible. They met every Sunday to debate passages in the Bible. They discussed the Bible with their friends and family. Christians today are not that fanatical in their beliefs and because of this, they get led astray by WOLVES. The Puritans, on the other hand, found themselves forced back into nature, into what they saw as the new Zion. But Zion doesn’t emerge from nothing.

The Puritans had to prove their worth in the new world. They had to deal with the Indians on their frontier on top of building their new Zion out of scratch. They showed extreme belief, devotion, and an unmatched work ethic. Despite being Christians, they, perhaps unknowingly, adhered to the doctrines of nature. They expected life to be hard, but they believed they were chosen by God, so they stormed ahead to meet the challenge. Why is this important to remember? Every religion, Christian or otherwise, that followed the doctrines of nature found themselves loved by God. You may debate how accurate their gospels were or whether they really were the word of God all you want, but if their faith wasn’t bringing its disciples prosperity and power, odds are they were following a false or dead religion.

What gave these religions power was their ability to follow the way and law of God. This way of God is also known as the doctrines of nature. The religious scripture and traditions of these religions may or may not have affirmed the way of God, but how they chose to live at that particular time did — and God rewarded them for it. We remember the great men and empires because they lived in accordance with God’s way. They understood the doctrines of nature and dominated, etching their names into history. God’s doctrines of nature are not readily apparent. Nothing in nature is.
