Self-Overcoming, Power, Species-Principle

A concept of the Will to Grow is expressed in #257 of Beyond Good and Evil as "continual self-overcoming".  Now, because Nietzsche's primary ambition in the context is to demonstrate that the conventional concept of Moral improvement is the product of internalized subjugation, he leaves unconsidered several other implications of the concept.  First, the apparent difficulty in deriving a cumulative process from a momentary "discharge of strength" (#13), indicates that the Will to Grow is independent of the Will to Power.  Furthermore, his focus on Overcoming as an Egocentric drive obscures that one expression of Self-Overcoming can be outwardly directed action, e. g. in the Empowerment of others.  But, then, in that case, the drive is revealed as perhaps being more than Egocentric to begin with--as a Species-Principle.  In other words, implicit, but undeveloped, in the passage, is a derivation of the Will to Power from the Dionysian.
