  Dane Rudhyar - Human, All Too Human and Beyond
If we symbolically equate a particular human culture with a particular plant, the "seed person" formed within and by the culture fulfills his or her destiny (or function) most characteristically only when he or she "leaves," or becomes spiritually separate from the culture.
Because humanity's essential archetypal character and destiny is to be an agent for transformation on the planet earth, the seed person can be considered a "mutant." He or she becomes (or at least may become) the visionary formulator, and spiritually or mentally the "ancestor," of a new type of culture.
Such human beings should not be called mystics, even though some of their experiences may be similar to or identical with those of Christian, Sufi, or Hindu mystics.

Too bad that this despicable delay is likely responsible for the death of thousands, if not millions, people.
It happened in Favara, a small town in Sicily in the province of Agrigento, not too far from the magnificent Valley of the Temples, where one can see ancient Greek Temples which were built during the 6th and 5th century B.C..

 The Nietzsche Channel: Human, All Too Human   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
So it is, too, in the history of mankind: the most savage forces beat a path, and are mainly destructive; but their work was nonetheless necessary, in order that later a gentler civilization might raise its house.
The past is still too strong in their muscles; they still stand in an unfree position, half secular clergymen, half the dependent educators of the upper classes; in addition, the pedantry of science and out-of-date, mindless methods have made them crippled and lifeless.
Plato was the incarnate desire to become the supreme philosophical lawgiver and founder of states; he appears to have suffered terribly from the non-fulfillment of his nature, and towards the end of his life his soul became full of the flest gall.

 Human, All Too Human by Friedrich Nietzsche: Woman and Child
If we live in too close proximity to a person, it is as if we kept touching a good etching with our bare fingers; one day we have poor, dirty paper in our hands and nothing more.
A human being`s soul is likewise worn down by continual touching; at least it finally appears that way to us--we never see its original design and beauty again.
It is ludicrous when a have-not society declares the abolition of inheritance rights, and no less ludicrous when childless people work on the practical laws of a country: they do not have enough ballast in their ship to be able to sail surely into the ocean of the future.

 Human, All Too Human by Friedrich Nietzsche: Preface
Human, All Too Human by Friedrich Nietzsche: Preface
Everything is only--human, all too human?" With such a sigh one comes from my writings, they say, with a kind of wariness and distrust even toward morality, indeed tempted and encouraged in no small way to become the spokesman for the worst things: might they perhaps be only the best slandered?
They are the most grateful animals in the world, the most modest, too, these convalescents and squirrels, turned halfway back to life again--there are those among them who let no day pass without hanging a little song of praise on its trailing hem.

 Human, All Too Human
Humanism here means something like "human supremacism." But not all humanists are supremacists, just as not all animal lovers prefer animals to human beings, except for the English.
Humanism can mean a belief in an essential human nature, or the view that this nature is essentially positive.
For some, humanism means primarily a cultural movement associated with the European Renaissance, while for others it suggests a method of sociological analysis that allots priority to structures rather than individuals.

Too much hypocracy and deceit are built that way, and it is destructive to the soul.
In my view, homosexuality is not a choice, but a fact of birth, just as heterosexuality is. This puts the burden on the individual believer, who is called to love his neighbor as himself, not on the homosexual to change his essential nature.
He, too, is a child of God, created by God.

The poet, too, the artist, attributes his moods and states to causes that are in no way the true ones; to this extent he reminds us of an older mankind, and can help us to understand it.
Here, too, our feeling distinguishes that which is moving from that which is moved, and we do not come out of this circle, because the belief in things has been tied up with our essential nature from time immemorial.
All human life is sunk deep in untruth; the individual cannot pull it out of this well without growing profoundly annoyed with his entire past, without finding his present motives (like honor) senseless, and without opposing scorn and disdain to the passions that urge one on to the future and to the happiness in it.

His criticism of humanity is so incisive and decisive that many may quail on reading this text.
Thus 'Human all to Human' is a book of tremendous power and one that gives a novice, as well as the expert, more than a litte to dwell on.
Nietzsche identified so much that had to be rejected in human life and affairs, (and so much that constituted greatness), which is the reason for the sheer scope of "Human, All Too Human".

 Human, All Too Human - By Sarah Kerr - Slate Magazine
He's too proud to admit that he loves her, so he encourages her to prostitute herself and risk her life by marrying the head of a Nazi conspiracy.
The ending, in which he realizes she's in danger, breaks into the Nazi's mansion, and finds her rotting with poison (but beautiful as ever in the haunting chiaroscuro), may be the most romantic scene ever committed to film.
In the middle was the supremely human Ingrid Bergman, sane but soulful, vulnerable but always able to attract and hold the love of men and audiences, for the simple reason that she deserved it.

 NeMe: Post Human? All Too Human by McKenzie Wark   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The pathos stems from the performance of a struggle between the human and the non-human, between the disciplinary and technical constraint and determination of the body, against which the body wrestles and contorts, with all its native cunning.
His post humans are still human, all too human - dreaming of the will to transform their outer and inner selves in their own self image.
The age of humanism, ironically enough, seized upon the body as a sacred emblem of freedom at just the moment when the techniques it let loose on the body would take that freedom away from it.

Now, with the natural ease of a born storyteller and the sensitive eye for detail of a novelist, Stephanopoulos tells an extraordinarily gripping story of human foible and frailty in high places that is destined to be one of the great political memoirs of our age.
Further, the administration did not want anyone to look too closely at controversial areas about the Clinton's past dealings (an ugly duckling stall that affected the credibility of those who defended actions that later turned out to be different than initially portrayed).
One lesson of All Too Human is that humans can learn, improve by learning from their mistakes, and go on to make great progress.

 Friedrich Nietzsche (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Viewing human existence from a great distance, Nietzsche further notes that there was an eternity before human beings came into existence, and believes that after humanity eventually dies out, nothing significant will have changed in the great scheme of things.
In 1878, Nietzsche completed Human, All-Too-Human, supplementing this with a second part in 1879, Mixed Opinions and Maxims (Vermischte Meinungen und Sprüche), and a third part in 1880, The Wanderer and his Shadow (Der Wanderer und sein Schatten).
The idea of power (for which he would later become known) sporadically appears as an explanatory principle, but Nietzsche tends at this time to invoke hedonistic considerations of pleasure and pain in his explanations of cultural and psychological phenomena.

I was reading Nietzsche's Human, All Too Human and found this struck a cord with me when considering CAS, he did focus on the bygone (fantasy) days.
Poets, insofar as they too wish to ease men's lives, either avert their glance from the arduous present, or else help the present acquire new colors by making a light shine in from the past.
To be able to do this, they themselves must in some respects be creatures facing backwards, so that they can be used as bridges to quite distant times and ideas, to religions and cultures dying out or dead.

Human, All Too Human (1878), a series of 638 stunning epigrams and essays on almost every subject under the sun, was described by Friedrich Nietzsche as ‘the monument of a crisis’.

 Amazon.com: Human, All Too Human = Menschliches, Allzumenschliches: A Book for Free Spirits: Books: Friedrich Wilhelm ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Subtitled "A Book for Free Spirits," Human, All Too Human marked for Nietzsche a new "positivism" and skepticism with which he challenged his previous metaphysical and psychological assumptions.
Of course you have to put his ideas in the context of the period in which he wrote and understand that he has his own odd prejudices, but the brilliance of his understanding of the human condition really shines through.
When he says "our humanity is to be overcome" - some have used this to justify eugenics, nationalism, and seeing others as "less than." If you read his entire thoughts (get the book!), it is more about overcoming the fragmented aspects of the self that weaken us, so we can be stronger and more pure.

 Greg Pavlik: Human, All Too Human (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In contrast to the ancient world, we've virtually eliminated human slavery, which seems to me to be our most important social advance, since it implies at least the idea of basic and universal human dignity.
Those retrograde instincts of hate, dogmatism, and fanaticism to which we all may be susceptible to some degree threaten to pull us back to barbarism and to make our scientific advances tools of evil.
In some ways, a uniform measure of progress may be an impossible thing to measure, but it is clear that there is a basic human drive toward humanism, greatness and beauty.

Maurice and I wrote lots of music together in the early 80's and it was influenced more by Rush, Genesis, ELP, etc. All Too Human is a much more advanced project, professionally speaking.
All Too Human will keep writing and recording music as long as we can sell enough CD's to make it economically feasible.
That's too bad, because there are a lot of talented musicians out there that are going nowhere, and there are a lot of fans that are being deprived of great music, because no one is showing it to them.
