The second, the third, the fourth, it all begins with one.
See them waiting for Apollo, now the one and only god, the god of vengeance and the obliteration of chaos, without which no life can come about? It is Apollo who has been baptized, circumcised, given a new name. And this second rebirth needs a second messiah.
They all want to be that savior, that representative of the second salvation, before the third, and the fourth - anything but nil. Eternal recurrence. The masses must be saved from themselves, continuously; one method giving way to the next, modernized, updated.
Dionysus laughs, and takes another swig from his flask....
Fat, and ugly, and permanently drunk, who would go to such a creature - vine leaves on the head, shaped like satanic horns.
Silenus...
Dearest god, what followers you attract. What man-tearing women worship you...

When the Semite comes into contact with the Hellene Jesus is born, and then some translator from Tarsus names Saul, picks up the thread, finding opportunity in the strands, and Christianity is born and sold to the pagan rabble. A new market for the slavish soul.
And what happens when a Semite comes into contact with a German infected with Hellenic wonder? A new Christianity is born. After Marxism a new surplus value sharing.

How can you White-wash nature, the reality principle?
Nietzsche wrote:
"May I venture the conjecture, by the way, that I know women? That is part of my Dionysian inheritance. Who knows? Perhaps I am the first psychologist of the eternal-feminine. They all love me — an old story: with the exception of the failed women, the “emancipated” ones unable to have children. — Fortunately I am not willing to have myself torn to pieces: the perfect female tears to pieces when she loves...I know these amiable Maenads...Ah, what a dangerous, creeping, subterranean little beast of prey she is! And so agreeable at the same time!...A little woman, bent on revenge, would run over destiny itself. — Woman is unspeakably more evil than man, more clever also; goodness in a woman is already a form of degeneration..." [EH]
Nature is a Vi(va)cious woman.
Nietzsche wrote:
And when the hero deserts her, the superhero appears."
Nietzsche wrote:
"From the smile of this Dionysus sprang the Olympian gods, from his tears sprang human beings. In this existence as a dismembered god, Dionysus possesses the dual nature of a cruel, barbarized demon and a mild, gentle ruler." [BOT]
The Superhero, the "gentle giant".

The White Bishop, preacher of positivity, must spread doubt, skepticism to force the many to settle for the subjective, where he can then inject his poison.
In the personal space the need dominates. Detached from reality the mind can settle for what feels good, and the White ones feed this need, with praise, flattery, reaffirmation of the need. It is how the negative comes to be positive, and Nihilism becomes progress.
It could be this, but it also could be that, so how does one decide what is most probable? Feeling....pleasure....just because...whatever I want, I am sovereign.
An appeal, to ego, or to feebleness? The answer is reversible, irreversible, irrelevant...the words, as symbols, are detached from the world, the noumenon disconnected. Consciousness can be outside brain, and value preceded judgment, and love can be universal goodness. The marketing scheme sells to the many, and receives quantity to validate its word-games.
The motive is not to describe reality as accurately as possible, but to describe human desire as universally as possible. The food of monsters is humanity: human meat, human emotions, passions, reactions. The miser collects them, and puts him in his vault - memories he swims in.

Years of unwarranted cockiness, and a sense of righteousness, has cut weariness into the White Knight. He now retreats to the self-evident, as if it were his message all-along, and then, emboldened by a spell of quiet, he ventures forth, once more, swinging his blade of absurdity. The absurd exposing his weak-side is where he holds his shield high, hoping to protect it with humble simplicity, but on his other side arrogance attaining the pinnacle of hyperbolic idiocy cuts away, one slice at a time.
The Judeo-Christian offers his Golden Rule of peaceful coexistence on a blade of childish hubris.
Ahhhh, but the Black One is adept at the fine-arts of duplicity, and the double-edged sword of dualism: it cuts both going in, and retreating out, like a saw.
Have you not heard of Ιανός, or shall we find a more current depiction in the two-faced "victim" of Modern schizophrenia?
Saw....saw....saw....in, and out....in and out.... A rape scene. Does the liar believe his own lies? Only if he wishes to convince those who had evolved a sense of the absurd, or simply feel it and express the feeling as cynicism.
The "white ones" are ambitious, wanting to seduce those high-brow cynics, and resistant skeptics, but their absurdity is too evident for them to have much of an effect. They fall back on a second strategic goal: the seduction of the simpleton. With numbers they hope to create a singularity, a black hole, a gravitational pull that will suck all of existence into a Being.
With smiles, and good natured intentions, they sell what they now buy, to become more convincing.
The absurd comes in the form of a word detached from all experience, hovering in some state of limbo, connecting to nothing. To make it seductive the word is harvested from the book of codes, definitions, and is chosen by its emotional insinuations. Detached from experience, the phenomenon, this word, this noetic symbol, is reconnected back to a human interpretation: the symbol of interpretation referring back to another interpretation, and preferably to an emotional, instinctive, and therefore, a primal automatic interpretation, outside the mind's immediate willful control, requiring little to no self-knowledge.
The Christians used many such words but the most effective was Love. Detached from its reference to reality, it became a mystical, magical, word, referring to an emotion, a primal reaction. In Marketing this connection of a product with a instinctive, primal, force, is what guarantees unconscious acquiescence, despite reasoning, and sometimes despite awareness of the tactic itself. The power of the marketed symbol is that it is all-inclusive, positive, as it requires no effort, or minimal effort, to enjoy its rewards - most often it only requires a change of attitude towards it. Jesus is rational only when you accept Jesus into your heart, you see? Then the symbol of Jesus as a savior is not only logical but an inspiring, fundamental, force that opens the mind up to infinite positive possibilities.
The absurdity of the Jesus archetype retreats to the self-evident logic of the message of quid pro quo, and is lost in it.

Confusing the "what is" with the "what ought to be done", which has already settled on a need for intervention, philosophy shape-shifts into politics, and marketing, and psychology - the "what ought to be done to harmonize the masses", the "how to package this 'ought' to make it appealing", and the "how to break it to them, or how to deal with the side-effects of this 'ought' upon them".
Th Symposium has been opened up to the boy and the woman, and they listen to what they despair over, and vengefully oppose, becoming mad, hysterical, their anger turning to hate, accusing the participants of intending it. And a preacher is always present to manipulate, and direct this hysterical mob.
Zombies directed by the self-infected, to mask their smell, offered blood, and meat, at some coming time. The Doctor becomes ill. Healing his patients is a self-healing, and when all cures fail rename the dis-ease health, and open the doors to empty the hospital wards. Streets full of "healthy" monstrosities.

Who, but a Heart of Darkness could tolerate the terrible reality of time, and the absence?
Only a stomach full of caustic liquids could digest it. For the rest, with a more delicate peptic constitution, it has to be diluted, cooked down, combined with other nutrients to make it appealing - presentation when the eye tastes before the tongue. If we would dare summarize philosophy it would be the slow-cooking process of turning rotting bio-matter into a palatable, impressive, first to the eye and then to the tongue, dish.
Everything from eternal afterlife to the eternal recurrence has been a display of culinary artistry; blood turned into a delicious sauce to pleasure the senses, and prevent heartburn; every famous intellectual a gifted saucier...a sorcerer.
Dead and decaying things arrayed in pleasing forms, promising life, feeding need - a continuance of construction founded on destruction. That was the insight Socrates came back to Athens with, after the war - after his long contact with human destructiveness to find tyrants back home: How to reduce down the liquid to a thickness the tongue could taste. How to separate ingredients to promote some and use others as "place holders", and frames. How to burn away the undesirable and leave only the palatable, the nutritional. How to break it all down for a baby to drink, and grow.
Need finding negation before suffering. In superfluous human environments made so easy, so simple, so clean. Man forgets the suffering and immerses himself in the pleasure of satiation - in the ritual of a refined dinner.
How do you explain to a spoiled brain how pain is part of his meal, that intercourse is about imposition, whether consensual or not, that risk is deadly, and no declaration of bankruptcy can cleanse it away, that the rush of a treadmill run is not the same as stress outside the gym walls where a broken tooth and a sprained ankle means death? How do you discuss reality with the infantile, the man-child, the wo-man?
You don't...
You simply hold a dinner party and invite them to partake from your generosity. Call it a book, and yourself a writer, a thinker, a....philosopher.
Let's eat from this bounty of pain and suffering, and forget. Better still, let us never know, and in our ignorance find innocence. Let us lose ourselves in the sensation of decreasing our own suffering, and call it good, and bathe it in flickering white candlelight, civilizes musical notes, accentuating its colors, and shapes; odors and sounds adding to the magic.
Who are the monsters here?
Bon apetit...

What meaning does light have without darkness? What meaning does black have without white?
Both are signposts to orient the Will, combined into the multiplicity of colors of which the human brain can make sense of a few.
Black<>White corresponding to 1<>0. Near absolute order<>near absolute chaos, and in between existence, and beings, emerging, out of the order/chaos, setting the concept of time as a measure of increasing chaos, or linear time, against which life, as a conscious ordering, emerges in antagonistic reaction to.
How to think outside these symbols, when the brain has evolved to simplify in this binary, absolutist, simplified/generalized way? SOME-thing-NO
