CAPTAIN3 NARRATES
Dr. Jack the Entomologist said, "I have studied the Super Organisms and found a way to combat them. I do this by spreading a Super Organism that already has a long evolutionary history and helping it fill the niche of the Super Organism called Governed Men. Since no two species can occupy the same niche, the Ants, with the longest evolutionary history, will prevail.
Dr. Jack added, "The difference between the Super Organism and the Man Species is best explained in Nietzsche's, Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It is the first speech of the first Part. Nietzsche tells us of the three metamorphoses of the spirit; the camel, the lion and finally a child. The camel rushes forward with all that he is but he rushes into the desert and discovers it is a lonely place. In the desert the camel becomes a lion that conquers his free spirit and seeks out the Dragon. Every scale on the Dragon says 'thou shalt.' The scales are all that civilization has laid upon the lion as he rushed forward. The lion must now become a child. Why? Because only a child is innocent and self propelled. Only a child can create. The child is not burdened by either the rush through the desert nor the scales of the 'thou shalt's' that he has gathered. Only a child can see the world afresh. Only a child can now conquer his own world. The child is not the same child that started out because he has been though the desert and killed the Dragon of 'thou shalt's'. He is a child that can now create. He is the Superman."
Dr. Jack continued, "The Governed Men Super Organism can never become that child. He has the burden of the scales of 'thou shalt's'. He cannot slay the Dragon. Only the Superman could, and did, slay the dragon and become a creative individual. Zarathustra was the first Superman and that is what Zarthustra said. Thus Spoke Zarathustra."
I found Zarathustra while searching through the Ǽther. He lives in a cave (commonly known as a rock shelter) just off the Cumberland River in Kentucky.
He lives as a Hermit and fishes in the Cumberland River.
The creek that he lives beside intersects the Cumberland River. About a quarter of a mile up the creek is an ancient Chinese character that is emerging from the stone cliff. He looks over the pool of life that is surrounded with sweet smelling flowers. The pool is guarded by poisonous snakes. On the other side of the creek that contains the pool is a stone, about three feet in diameter that is in the shape of a vagina. Following the trail from the stone is another large rock shelter. This is where "Millennium End's Ritual" was first performed 26 July 1993. Surrounding the pool of life and the shelter of the ritual are wood rats that come out at night and steal the campers matches (fire) and take them off to their nest hidden in small inaccessible rock formations.
The wood rat (Eastern Wood Rat) is immune to the poison of the snakes guarding the pool. It is believed his immunity is because he eats the death angle (Death Cap) mushroom that grows in the woods surrounding the pool The death angle is so poisonous that if a human touches it, it will be absorbed in the skin and cause hallucinations and then death.
Also around the pool grows the mushroom of life (Ling Chih). It is actually a fungus. It grows on fallen hemlock trees. It grows so quickly that it will engulf an insect that lands on it. The raised, but covered, insect can still be seen on the surface of the mushroom.
Guarding the trail into the ritual shelter are numerous poisonous snakes along the ground and rocks. The air itself is even guarded by yellow jackets. If the ground nest is disturbed they will swarm and sting the intruder.
It is said that the water at the pool of life, when drank by a human, will add ten years of quality to his life.
This land of Zarathustra has large cave shelters and narrow trails surrounded by rocks bigger than houses.
On the trail to the pool of life are teaberry plants. But there is also red fog like apparitions that have no definitive explanation. They may be gas escaping from the ground similar to that in which Burning Springs Kentucky was named for. The ones at Burning Springs were normally seen at night.

As You, Chuck, and I leave the Ǽther (ether), I leave you with these last words of Nietzsche's Zarathustra: " The Lion slayed the Dragon of 'Thou Shalts' and the children are coming. The hour of the superman has come. It is the morning, the day is breaking: rise now, rise up. Thus spoke Zarathustra as he left the darkness of the cave and entered the morning sunlight.
