Nietzsche's thought proposes, in its maxims and sentences, to deconstruct everything that the monument of reason has built in the form of consciousness. For this reason, faced with the dramatic situations that arise, it is not a case of becoming aware of them, but rather experiencing. Conscience, by interposing the exercise of reason, falsifies the fact, while experience embraces what appears to be broader and more genuine in it. Only beyond the exercise of conscience does the German philosopher understand that it is possible to face tragedy, as one does not think about it, but simply lives it. And it is through the experience and not awareness of the tragic element that Nietzsche points out a possible path to affirm life. This project can be carried out to the extent that life can be rescued in its integral and original dimension, without the influx of elements that do not belong to it. And an immediate path to life is that of its experience, beyond everything that is done in terms of its scientific operation. This work aims to show that when any effort is made with the intention of becoming aware of something, there is a cut in the exercise of directing oneself towards life, as elements are put in front of it that do not allow it to present itself as it is in itself, in its happening, to interpose mechanisms that interfere with their own reality of life. The abandonment of the most intimate experience of reality to the detriment of its peripheral formal aspect causes all of life and what is part of it to be relegated to the plane of the derisory. All theorizing about life is nothing more than its falsification, which is consciousness itself, like lenses that appear before reality.
