“The self is a fact of nature and always appears as such in immediate experiences, in dreams and visions…it is the spirit in the stone, the great secret which has to be worked out, to be extracted from nature, because it is buried in nature herself.”
Nietzsche’s Zarathustra, Notes of the Seminar, Vol 2, page 977
