Trapped by the Social and Moral Code, or Beyond Good and Evil?

1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:06,200
Friedrich Nietzsche wrote that
certain, individuals, by virtue

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,900
of their innate status.
As Superior beings, could not be

3
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:16,000
bound by social rules or
morality or ethics while the

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
implication may be understood to
apply to those who have evolved

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,300
beyond the need for such
contextual social rules.

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,900
The actual understanding and
application of his philosophy

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,800
has made it clear that social
norms were able to be trampled

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:40,200
underfoot by those who declared
themselves to be superior with

9
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,700
us witnessed the rise of Hitler
and the Nazi regime, which

10
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:48,100
treated others, not members of
their specific Clique or at the

11
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:54,100
very least their racial Origins
as subhuman and thus could be

12
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:58,500
despised.
Aged controlled enslaved,

13
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:05,000
tortured and exterminated.
The staffs key explored, the

14
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,900
steam in crime and punishment, a
college student raskolnikov

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,100
explored in his mind.
And in a paper, he wrote and had

16
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:17,300
published.
Whether a superior man, could

17
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:21,300
act with impunity and commit
acts which would be constrained

18
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:25,800
in the normal social sense.
Such a superior man, could

19
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,800
justify the actors being the
price of the higher benefit.

20
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,100
Such a man could bring to
society, he then determined to

21
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:37,800
carry out a theft in order to
maintain his ability to continue

22
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:43,100
his education and make such a
contribution as a superior man

23
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,900
beyond social conventions in the
course of the theft.

24
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:52,400
He murdered two people The
course of the book shows how he

25
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,100
remained Bound in his mind and
in his being to the social

26
00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:02,000
conventions and therefore did
not fit his own definition of

27
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,600
the superior man he was caught
and tried for his crime as a

28
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,000
result.
He also gained the opportunity

29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,700
for reflection about his
misplaced ideas of superiority.

30
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:20,100
Clearly those individuals who
arrogate to themselves a

31
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:25,000
superior status that need not
abide by the moral and social

32
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,600
code of the society within which
they live face a real test of

33
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,800
whether they are doing.
So by following a true higher

34
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,700
law of whether they are doing it
as an excuse to carry out, acts

35
00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:44,300
that lower the Consciousness and
demean their status in the human

36
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:50,400
scale. as the mother points out,
however, and even more difficult

37
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,500
case in terms of spiritual
growth and development lies in

38
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:57,500
those who are extremely
conscientious about their

39
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:02,400
adherence to the Social and
moral codes and reflect the

40
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,700
arrogance of the ego in their
outward, superiority, They

41
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:11,900
remain rigid and bound by that
framework, and thus are not

42
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:16,800
generally ready for nor
receptive to the path of

43
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,900
spiritual growth to move upward,
beyond the limits of their

44
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:23,400
current level of understanding
and knowledge.

45
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:30,100
The mother notes quote.
Now, I may put you on your guard

46
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:33,700
against something about people
who live in their vital

47
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:37,200
Consciousness and say I am above
moral laws.

48
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,000
I follow a higher law.
I am free from harm all moral

49
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,000
laws and they say this because
they want to indulge in all

50
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
irregularities.
These people then have a double

51
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,500
in Purity, they have spiritual
impurity and in addition, social

52
00:03:55,500 --> 00:04:00,200
impurity And these usually have
a very good opinion of

53
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,300
themselves and they assert their
wish to live their life with an

54
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:08,100
unequaled impudence.
Yet.

55
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:11,800
Usually the people whom I have
found, most difficult to convert

56
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,500
are very respectable people.
I'm sorry.

57
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:18,600
But I have had much more
difficulty with respectable

58
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,399
people than with those who were
not.

59
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:26,100
So for they had such a good
opinion of themselves that it

60
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:32,400
was impossible to open them.
But the true thing is difficult,

61
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,200
that is to say, one must be very
Vigilant, and very

62
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,700
self-controlled, very patient,
and have a never-failing.

63
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:45,800
Goodwill one must not neglect.
Having a small dose of humility.

64
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:50,100
A sufficient, one, and one must
never be satisfied.

65
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:54,100
With the sincerity.
One has one must always want

66
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:58,800
more.
