Aphoristic Writings, Notebook, and Letters to a Friend, by Otto ...

Freedom and universality – power and universality.
That is why the neurasthenic hates anthropocentrism.
The neurasthenic desires limitation and therefore no power.
The higher moment is God.
Unity and totality are problematic in this way. The neurasthenic renounces
totality, the criminal, unity. The neurasthenic is too weak for totality, the criminal for
unity.
Lack of unity in the sea! Totality is here; but unity is missing.
That is why the criminal splinters and renounces unity of consciousness.
Recovery means: to reunite with the All. Sickness means loneliness.
The river has no totality.
The swamp is the false totality of the river and the illusory victory over itself.
