“...we are haunting ourselves in the present from the past and the future via the ghost and the alien.”
Jeffrey J. Kripal

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Read from a distant star the majuscule script of our earthly existence would perhaps tempt one to conclude that the earth is the ascetic planet par excellence, a nook of discontented, arrogant, and repulsive creatures who could not get rid of a deep displeasure with themselves, with the earth, with all life and who caused themselves as much pain as possible out of pleasure in causing pain:―probably their only pleasure.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals

Friedrich Nietzsche
“One repays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“We are all future butterflies who think, wrongly, that we are just slugs. And we are evolving, whether we admit it or not, into something else. Something with wings.”
Jeffrey J. Kripal, Mutants and Mystics: Science Fiction, Superhero Comics, and the Paranormal

Friedrich Nietzsche
“We are unknown to ourselves, we knowers, and with good reason. We have never looked at ourselves.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals
