Prophecy on Superhuman

By Jean de Mazac

Prophecy on Superhuman is an epic-philosophic work describing the last days of a Prophet sitting before the gates of Golden city and heralding the human of the new age – Superhuman who should be born through the WILL TO KNOW.

Will to knowledge is put into the sharp opposition to a blind belief and ignorance, due to which a human becomes a slave of his everyday life, his low passions, his rulers, and, last but not least, his fear of death. But Prophet announces the birth of the new man who shall be freer than the gods, capable of the truest love and able to reach the true immortality, which cannot be achieved without the will-to-know.

WILL TO KNOW – that's the immortality of Superhuman!
Therefore, my dear ones, do not be afraid of death but of a life lived without knowledge. Because death does not concern us… but being does!

Will to know

At the times, when humankind was close to its destruction, when it was so mentally and culturally numbed that it was not able to compare even with the times of Sodom, when man's cruelty and poorness became measureless: the pointless and brutal murdering of the brothers was considered as the highest heroism, the power and richness as the highest bliss; at the times, when the most stupid and poorest people ruled the world and wisdom was almost banished - at those times spread across the whole world the tidings of a prophet who came from nowhere and settled himself before the gates of the Golden City. But not all regarded him as a prophet, not even he himself called so. Some said that he is a messenger from heaven bringing the message of the last judgement – apocalypse; others regarded him as a reincarnated spirit of one of the ancient philosophers, and few just as a mad fool. Those, who didn't consider him as a fool and who admired his wisdom, called him Prophet, because no one of them knew his name, and if someone asked him about his name he answered always in the same way: I am who I am. (A lot of people felt outraged by that, especially the inhabitants of the Golden City; but since they regarded him as a harmless fool they have let him say anything he wanted and call himself anyhow he wanted - at least for now.)

Prophet had been sitting before the gates of the Golden City all days and nights with no possession except his will to know and living only on the charity of people although he never asked anybody for anything and was never begging. His contemplative look, his high forehead lined with thick hair resembling a flaming fire left almost none of the passers-by unnoticed. The people stopped next to him, asked him anything and he gladly answered as he could. Some took such a fancy to him that they came to him every day to talk with him, or maybe to learn something from him, and they began to call him their friend and the Sage, though he never considered himself as a sage and had no friends or enemies - as he himself declared: I have only brothers and sisters, although the majority doesn't take me as their brother... But those ones have no brothers, no sisters, and no friends, wrongly thinking that they have a lot of them.

When his disciples (as they later called themselves) asked him about his name, they always had got the same answer: I am who I am. When they asked him if he knows that it is the name of one of the gods he answered: I don't know any god, but I know myself and thus, I am who I am. When they asked him where he comes from, he said to them: From there from where all people are coming, from the earth. And to the question where is his home and his family he gave this answer: "Wherever the will to know reigns, everywhere there are my brothers and sisters, everywhere there I have my home." But when they asked him where it is, he did not answer anymore.

To the question what is the will to know he answered: "Will to know is denial of the will to be and the will to power... the one who lives only to be is like he wouldn't be; and he who lives just with a view to have a power has nothing at all... – Once, yet very young - continued Prophet in his narration – I grew up in a small village among other people who pretended to be happy though they suffered by a great misery: the indigent ones were daily tormented by hard work and, nevertheless, they remained still poor; the rich ones worried all the time about their possessions, although they weren't lacking anything secular. They all believed that it must be so and they attributed it either to some mysterious will of a god or to a fate or even - as some have been saying - to a karma; and all of them called each other brother and sister, but I saw only wolves who would prefer to devour one another. Simply, they didn't realize that their lack doesn't consist of what they already have, some more and others less, but in what none of them had: the will to know."
