SPIRITUALISM
– HUMAN EXISTENCE AND HUMAN NATURE - bhavanajagat.com
Posted on February 11, 2012 The living matter is conscious of its internal
condition, a condition that demands the supply of energy from an external
source to keep its existence… The fact of energy dependent existence and the
consciousness of that conditioned existence displays the lack of human freedom
in matters that pertain to human existence.
Our Aim Founded
by Anurag Banerjee on 29 March 2010 at Kolkata, Overman Foundation embarks
on the mission to inculcate the ‘urge’ to rise over our mundane aspects of life
and delve deeper into our inner ‘I’. The Foundation reaches out to the society
with its sole aim of conceiving species of Overman –a transitory state in the
creation of Superman. The association firmly believes that it is the duty of
every individual to empower himself /herself with an urge for seeking the
divine. One needs to replenish herself/himself amidst the trivialities of our
surroundings and reach out to a knowledge seeking, a prerequisite to be a
‘Superman’. The Foundation painstakingly indulges in this knowledge seeking
through knowledge sharing of Aurobindonian philosophy.
All members of the extended spiritual family of Sri
Aurobindo and the Mother are cordially invited to our platform. The
administration of Overman Foundation is monitored by its Advisory Board whose
members are Nirmal Singh Nahar (Founder-Trustee of Sri Aurobindo Bhavan,
Kolkata), Prof. Kittu Reddy and Krishna Chakravarti.

(title unknown) from enowning Ian Alexander Moore on the overman in the
technological understanding of being, from "Fink's
(Heideggerean) Nietzsche, or The Possibility of a 'verwindung' of
Metaphysics".
Nietzsche’s philosophy was unique in the
metaphysical tradition of the West, because he was the first person to
recognize that the will to power posits all values, which are the means to
prolong the act of willing and to become stronger. By fixing all value within “the
preservation-enhancement conditions” of everything that is, Nietzsche
established truth as that in which a “constant reserve” holds sway and remains
at the disposal of the will. The will to power fixes in place that which
provides for its own preservation and enhancement. Whatever does this most
effectively is most true.
Heidegger's reading of Nietzsche's overman coincides
with this notion of the will to power. The overman symbolizes humanity in its
current, technological understanding of being. The will to power determines the
overman, urging him to gain control of all that is. Yet this making secure by
willing domination over everything remains inextricably linked to the positing
of values. The overman, through the value-positing of the will to power,
obviates the possibility of understanding being as something outside of his
power, something in virtue of which anything stands out as meaningful for him.
For Heidegger, the overman's will to power, as that which posits value onto
being, does not remain receptive to being, but rather blocks off its essence in
advance by treating it as a value.
