"I MUST GO DOWN." Zarathustra starts his story as a down-going to human kind, a down-going with a single message: the Overman is the meaning of the Earth. What is often left out of this well-known story is the implicit message of the book as a whole: Zarathustra's own struggles with spiritual mediation. Zarathustra may be a type of enlightened being with a singular message, but he is not an enlightened being sitting in a perfect stillness. He is an enlightened being in deep inner antagonism with his own capacity to give birth. He is pregnant with the meaning of the Earth as the Overman. What does it mean to give spiritual birth? What is involved in such a strange process? And how rare is it to receive such an intimate message, let alone to have it gifted to us in the form of a philosophical fiction? Have we ever received such an intimate message and philosophical form before? Hopefully some of these questions will help guide you through Abyssal Arrows: Spiritual Leadership Inspired by Thus Spoke Zarathustra. What these pages (try to) contain, but what in fact spills off the pages, is precisely the real of a community mind trying to do just that: give spiritual birth. Abyssal Arrows is collective midwifery. It is bloody, messy... it is bloody messy. But as such, it is also represents a real of philosophy that is long overdue. What academic philosophy has not, could not, do with Zarathustra, Abyssal Arrows, in the real of the void, has actualised. Long Live Zarathustra.
