According to Henri De Lubac, secret knowledge was revealed to Nietzsche that he was "....the first of men to know.' The shock of it was sudden and profound. Though no direct document relates his experience sure evidence is found in an agitated page of Ecce Homo where Nietzsche wrote:

"Suddenly, with sureness, with indescribable delicacy, a thing makes itself seen, makes itself heard. It shakes you, it overwhelms you right to your innermost depths. You hear it...You let it fill you....A thought blazes forth like a flash of lightening...It imposes itself as a necessity...I never had to choose it. It is an ecstasy....You are enraptured, taken outside of yourself...All of this...is accompanied by a tumultuous feeling of liberty, of independence, of divinity...There you have my experience of the inspiration."
(Lubac, p. 472)

Sounds like Mohammed's experience, while stuffed up in his cave....

Or the ravings of a psychotic???

I have such mixed feelings about Nietzsche.... I can't not pity him.

Great stuff, dear sister in Christ! Thank you ever so much for the ping!
