Not yet ready for this book

“Beyond Good and Evil” by Friedrich Nietzsche

Right after I started reading this book I realised that it needs a special kind of mindset and environment to help me be fully immersed with Nietzsche’s philosophy and his challenging arguments on humanity. A state of frequency that I’m currently not in.

In other words, it’s a book perhaps best read in a Theta brain frequency with deep focus and meditation (like a monk in a temple), while I’m currently in an active Beta state (like a soldier ready for war).

Still finished the book though, mercifully, with some notes taken. But I feel that I’m missing out a lot and didn’t get the most out of it, even though I have familiarised myself with Nietzsche beforehand from several philosophy’s greatest-hits books, to get into the context.

But still, this is the original manuscript, the white-paper of his thoughts, surely there’s more than just confirming what I’ve read from secondary sources.

Hence, I will definitely revisit this book with a better state of mind, with a clearer note taking and a level of review that it deserves. I will come back when I’m ready for this book.
