supra-humanity


Explanation:
IMO

• Kult człowieka, “nadczłowieczeństwo” czy “antyczłowieczeństwo” jest sprzeczne z duchem chrześcijaństwa
http://zagrozeniaduchowe.pl/?tag=krija-joga

Example sentence(s):
  • Such individuals would be the forerunners of a new truth-consciousness based supra-humanity.
  • (...) these Black Atlantic superstars mark the post World War II transition of black culture and its black performers from the lowest rung of human cultural expressions to symbols of supra-humanity and ideal modes of commoditised being (...)

higher being / higher forms of humanity


Explanation:
W 1920 r. po kanonizacji Joanny d'Arc rozpoczyna pracę nad swą jedyną tragedią, "Święta Joanna", którą wyda w 1924 r. W najdojrzalszej formie przedstawia w niej swoją wizję nadczłowieczeństwa, której już wcześniej dawał wyraz w takich sztukach, jak "Cerdr i Kleopatra"[sic] (1901) czy "Człowiek i nadczłowiek" (1905). Pod wpływem idei Bergsona i Nietzschego Shaw tworzy swoją własną filozofię "siły życiowej" (Life Force), która ma być kołem zamachowym "ewolucji twórczej" (Creative Evolution), traktowanej jako droga cywilizacyjnego i społecznego postępu. Ewolucja bowiem - według Shawa - prowadzić powinna do nadczłowieczeństwa, czyli ludzkości zdolnej żyć w harmonii, bez konfliktów - http://noblisci.bnet.pl/21-30/1925/1925.html


In a 1909 letter to Leo Tolstoy, Shaw explained: "To me God does not yet exist; but there is a creative force struggling to evolve an executive organ of godlike knowledge and power; that is, to achieve omnipotence and omniscience; and every man and woman born is a fresh attempt to achieve this object. We are here to help God, to do his work, to remedy his whole errors, to strive towards Godhead ourselves." In its odyssey to achieve fruition, the life force would create ever-higher forms of humanity--supermen, super-supermen, supermen to the third power: "When one instrument is worn out, I will make another, and another, and another, always more and more intelligent and effective." - http://www.adherents.com/people/ps/George_Bernard_Shaw.html
