And what Cioran says of the mystic, in his essay “Dealing with the Mystics,” applies perfectly to his own thought. “The Mystic, in most cases, invents his adversaries…. His thought asserts the existence of others by calculation, by artifice: it is a strategy of no consequence. His thought boils down, in the last instance, to a polemic with himself: he seeks to be, he becomes a crowd, even if it is only by making himself one now mask after the other, multiplying his faces: in which he resembles his Creator, whose histrionics he perpetuates.” ~ Page 21 Yet while Cioran projects a recognizable political stance (though it’s present only implicitly in most of the essays), his approach is not, in the end, grounded in a religious commitment. Whatever his political-moral sympathies have in common with right-wing Catholic sensibility, Cioran himself, as I have already said, is committed to the paradoxes of an atheist theology. Faith itself, he argues, solves nothing. ~ Page 22 ~ Excerpt: "Temptation to Exist"

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emil_Z%C3%A1topek . . . . Great athletes will actually visualize their success even before they compete, and psyche themselves up by convincing themselves of their own invincibility and greatness. Such athletes are denying the reality of the competition they actually face while also invoking a self-fulfilling prophecy. A classic example of combining all these approaches is that of Emile Zatopek, a famous long-distance runner who won three gold medals at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki. Zatopek first won gold in the 5,000 meter and 10,000 meter runs, the races he had actually trained for. But then he decided at the eleventh hour to compete in the marathon for the very first time in his life. His strategy was to run right alongside the British world record holder, Jim Peters, and to set a blistering pace more appropriate for the shorter races he normally ran. Once he knew that he had overtaxed Peters, Zatopek pointed out to the Englishman that he had never run this race before and casually asked whether they were running fast enough. Shortly thereafter Peters dropped out -- and all other runners behind him were psyched out as well, so Zatopek went on to win in an Olympic record time. ~ Page 252
