I was twenty-four when I read 'Zarathustra'. I could not understand it, but it made a profound impression upon me, and I felt an analogy between it and the girl in some peculiar way. Later, of course, I found that 'Zarathustra' was written from the unconscious and is a picture of what that man should be. If Zarathustra had come through as a reality for Nietzsche instead of remaining in his 'spirit world,' the intellectual Nietzsche would have had to go. But this feat of realization, Nietzsche could not accomplish. It was more than his brain could master.
At twenty-four, the author encountered Nietzsche's 'Zarathustra', which left a significant impact despite its initial incomprehensibility. This experience evoked a personal connection, particularly with a girl, suggesting an intricate intertwining of ideas and emotions. Over time, the author recognized that 'Zarathustra' was birthed from the unconscious mind, serving as an ideal representation of the potential of humanity.
The text implies that Nietzsche struggled to bring the ideals embodied by Zarathustra into the tangible world. If he had succeeded, the more analytical aspects of Nietzsche's persona would have been overshadowed by this realization. Ultimately, the task of manifesting such profound concepts exceeded Nietzsche's intellectual capacity, highlighting the challenges of reconciling abstract ideas with reality.
