26. It
is, by and large, still governed by sensuality, by the 'American Dream', by
sexual freedom, by feminism, socialism, unbridled capitalism, consumerism - in
short, by all those heathenistic norms of
contemporary civilization which, even though Western civilization drags-on in
decadent and even degenerate guises in the background, so to speak, of
mainstream 'popular' culture, are avowedly barbarous and indicative of the
survival of the most ruthless or strongest or most opportunistic or crassest or
boldest or shallowest or wickedest, as the case may be.
27. In
short, the struggles and battles of will which our film-star heroes act out on
film are a paradigm of contemporary civilization in all its greed and frenzy,
its bloodlust and materialistic destructiveness in the interests of what its
proponents would have us believe to be 'self' but which is really more often
than not what I have in the past called 'not-self', meaning that which is more
somatic than psychic, more bodily than mental, and conditioned, in consequence,
not by hegemonic male criteria but by hegemonic female criteria at both noumenal (spatial space over sequential time) and phenomenal
(volumetric volume over massive mass), class or cultural levels, as germane to
the prevalence of sensuality in society at large.
28. Therefore
in typically once-born, female, heathenistic vein,
the outer light is conceived as 'good' and the outer darkness as 'wise', or
something to that paradoxical effect, because in such formative and largely
juvenile societies, societies that, being comparatively new, have yet to mature
into anything properly or fully adult, sensuality takes precedence over sensibility
to such an extent that one can be 'innocent' about sensual matters and
disinclined to uphold psychological or other stratagems that would undermine
them from a necessarily sensible point of view.
29. For,
in fact, being kind to metachemical not-self in
spatial space must appear 'good' when sensibility is insufficiently developed
that there is no cause to disparage it as evil from the contrary position of
being cruel to not-self that one would, in mature societies, identify with
punishment, not least in respect to the punishment of crime, or the fact of
one's being kind or possibly over-kind to metachemical
not-self, not to mention chemical not-self, being readily identifiable, in transvaluated guise, as a crime and not merely a further
example of hedonistic self-indulgence, which is what it must remain so long as
contrary criteria are not officially up and running in the interests not so
much of punishment as of grace, the inner light, and more especially with
regard to metaphysics than physics, so that wisdom holds the key to the
justification of goodness not merely for its own sake, but in order that the
grace of wisdom may flourish at the expense of the crime of evil.
30. Needless
to say, that can only happen in a society or civilization that is mature enough
to want the grace of wisdom to flourish at the expense of the crime of evil, a
society akin to that which flourished in Europe in the main ages of
Christianity, albeit only, by and large, to a limited extent, in which not only
was transcendentalism, and thus grace, compromised by Roman Catholic
lowlander-type criteria which held it back from anything Eastern and fully
meditative in character, but that, too, was compromised and eventually
undermined, with the Reformation, by humanistic criteria having more to do with
relative grace in physical knowledge than with absolute grace (no matter how
bureaucratically compromised) in metaphysical truth, the sort of truth that not
only transcends knowledge, as the feeling of soul transcends the understanding
of intellect, but ensures that heavenly criteria take precedence over the
world, with particular reference to earthly pleasures and the struggle for
security to indulge them.
31. In a
society, on the other hand, which is not mature enough to be partial to
sensible 'rebirth', it logically stands to reason that what exists in the
sensual status quo in relation to the outer light and the outer dark will be
treated on their own merits as, in effect, 'good' or 'wise', so that a certain
complacency before the twin objectivities of the Cosmos and nature will typify
societies in which being kind to not-self, whether in metachemical
or chemical hegemonic terms, is hedonistically sufficient unto itself and
neither criminal nor sinful but at worst only self-indulgent to a degree that
may entail some form of punishment or grace, but always integral to the context
itself, never in antithetical opposition to it such that would expose such
not-self kindness as either criminal or sinful and bring sanctions to bear on
it from the standpoint of either the State or the Church.
32. No,
self-indulgence of this nature, which is really the indulgence, in soma, of the
not-self, whether in the noumenal or phenomenal
contexts, cannot be considered - other than in relation to the consequences of
excess - 'evil' or 'foolish' by its practitioners when it stems from kindness
towards the entity in question, and usually results in somatically beneficial
consequences.
33. Kindness,
they would have us believe, is 'good' and/or 'wise' and cruelty 'evil' and/or
'foolish', and therefore cruelty towards the not-self, still interpreted under
hegemonic female criteria as self, is better avoided, at least in respect of
oneself. For others can become a threat
to that kindness through their own 'self-interest' and may have to be dealt
with on other than kind terms in defence of one's own 'goodness' and/or
'wisdom' - something not liable to make for enhanced kindness in individuals
generally, and therefore in society at large!
34. On
the contrary, it is then that the paradise of so-called 'self-interest' comes
under threat and that kindness towards one's own soma necessitates cruelty
towards those who would threaten one's 'happiness' from the standpoints of
their own 'self-interest', the precondition, it may be, of a wider perspective
in society generally, in which kindness and cruelty are forced apart into the
sensualities and sensibilities of crime and punishment on the one hand, and, in
reverse order, sin and grace on the other hand, when once society is
sufficiently mature as to want to give precedence to truth and to allow the
inner light of grace to take precedence not only over the inner darkness of
punishment, but over anything that, being sensual, would hold people to heathenistic values and a worship, in consequence, of both
the outer light, falsely identified as 'good', and the outer darkness, falsely
identified as 'wise'.
35. Heathenism
may work for a time, but after a while it turns upon itself as the kind turn to
cruelty both towards themselves and towards others, with hateful and painful
consequences! What was Edenic becomes infernal, the dream transmuted into
nightmare, sexual freedom into suspicion and disease. Short of repenting of their barbarous and
philistine ways, there is no exit from this fallen paradise for its heathenistic devotees.
36. But repentance requires maturity and the willingness of
males, in particular, to take a lead in 'turning the tables' on the sensual status
quo from a standpoint centred in sensibility and the inevitability of male
hegemonic criteria. It is a bold step
forward that embraces the world afresh in the interests of heavenly redemption,
that leads beyond the barbarous clash of competing objectivities to the
cultural peace of co-operative subjectivities, and thus replaces one order of
freedom, necessarily heathenistic and sensually 'once
born', with another, more Christian and sensibly 'reborn'. This is the challenge that lies ahead!
37. For the
present, however, it is clear that the Nietzschean
and New World notion that the outer light is 'good' and the outer darkness
'wise' still holds popular conviction and is the touchstone of much if not most
contemporary conduct. And because of
this heathenistic want of sensible perspective, what
passes, if recognized, for inner darkness is deemed 'evil' and what passes, if
recognized, for inner light 'foolish', the ideal of a so-called 'holy fool'.
38. The truth, alas, is rather contrary to that! But then the truth is not something that such
'once-born' sensual people have much familiarity with, other, it may be, than
in relation to some religious tradition which they have repudiated and deem to
be irrelevant if not misguided or, since one cannot exactly disinvent
the word, in relation to their own fact-based existences which they prefer to
endow with the status of truth, even though nothing could be further from the
case!
39. But
the real or actual truth is still there and can be maintained, even in the face
of their opposition to it and want of a transvaluated
perspective. It is there wherever a
context of metaphysical sensibility can be deemed to exist, whether in terms of
the Cosmos, nature, mankind, or - to anticipate the future - Cyborgkind, the Godkind that
would lie beyond man and his humanistic limitations in respect not only of God
but of everything contrary or distinct from the will of man. But it is not there to the same degree or in
the same way in those several contexts, which rather proceed from least evolved
to most evolved via less and more evolved, as though from a least supreme type
of metaphysical being to a most supreme type of metaphysical being via less
(relative to least) and more (relative to most) supreme types of metaphysical being
lying in-between.
40. Therefore
the truth alone is not a sufficient counter to the lies and falsehoods and
factual hypes of the contemporary decadent bourgeois and burgeoning proletarian
civilizations; for even where some respect for the truth can be said to exist,
whether in terms of the transcendentalized humanism
of the Roman Catholic church or, to a greater extent, the humanized
transcendentalism of the Buddhist practitioners of transcendental meditation,
such truth is not ultimate but at best penultimate, as germane to man, and thus
something which has been effectively overhauled and rejected by the post-human
urban proletariat and their effective atheistic denial, through New World
influence, of traditional values, centred around self, in favour of the
not-self and a certain degree, varying with the individual, of somatic licence.
41. They
may proclaim, under pressure of ongoing convention, their loyalty to God and
Truth and all the rest of it, but their behaviour and daily actions more
usually betray the influence of contemporary secularity with its rampant
sensualities in pursuit of kindness to not-self. They are caught in a paradoxical time-warp
between the past and the present, but they are not yet able to abandon the
present for the future and reject the past as something that only accommodated
the truth, where applicable, to a limited extent and in a particular way, not
in the ultimate universal way that would be commensurate with truth per se and thus with the most evolved
manifestation of metaphysical sensibility, as germane to the cyborgization of life in the coming centuries.
42. Therefore
truth itself is not all that significant, at least not as a general
concept. What matters, from the
standpoint of contemporary civilization, is what kind and degree of truth one
is talking about, and that can only be valid when it is of the most evolved
order of metaphysical sensibility and not something either more (relative to
most) evolved in mankind, less (relative to least) evolved in nature, or least
evolved in the Cosmos, where metaphysical sensibility is vastly overshadowed by
metachemical sensuality and other factors which have
no bearing on anything divine or sublime, godly or heavenly, at all.
43. I
offer that new and ultimate truth, that definitive manifestation and
realization of truth which requires a post-human precondition in the urban
proletariat, and for that reason I am not simply reiterating Christian or
Buddhist, still less pre-Christian and pre-Buddhist, approaches to truth, for which,
in any case, contemporary Western civilization (largely stemming from what
repudiated truth from an anti-Catholic point of view in antinonconformism
and fundamentalism or, more correctly, antirealism and materialism, as germane
to the descending axis of state-hegemonic criteria in which naturalism,
together with humanism, is subverted from a largely female and objective point
of view intended to guarantee the prevalence of crime and punishment at the
expense of grace and sin), has had scant use, but, on the contrary, have pushed
my thinking beyond both the West and, for that matter, the East in the
interests of global universality and a new approach not only to truth but to
whatever is sensible and likely to defer to it, whether directly, as in the case
of beauty or, rather, a beautiful approach to truth in antimetachemistry
or indirectly, as in the cases of a reformed truth-oriented knowledge and its
female corollary of a strong approach to knowledge which, bound to truth, would
constitute the initial pluralism of what has been termed the triadic Beyond as
the institutional framework of the 'church' of tomorrow, the Social Theocratic
Centre, which, with the administrative aside of transmuted state service, will
form the structural basis of 'Kingdom Come' as an entity capable of further
evolutionary refinements in the course of time or, more correctly, eternity.
44. But
the opponents of such definitive truth will persist in their deluded belief
that the outer light is 'good' and the outer darkness 'wise' - a persistence
which can only be expected in peoples and societies which are insufficiently
sensible than to be other than alpha-stemming in their heathenistic
instincts and alignments.
45. I
have seen through them and their delusions, but for them to see through
themselves they will have to repudiate everything their societies take for
granted, including the somatic 'take' on freedom which is only symptomatic,
after all, of the sensual orientations which follow from a female hegemony in
spatial space over sequential time on the noumenal
planes of metachemistry and antimetaphysics,
and in volumetric volume over massive mass on the phenomenal planes of
chemistry and antiphysics.
46. When
'rebirth' is sensibly achieved, when a genuine desire for and implementation of
it is institutionally advanced, then what follows will be the reverse of what
currently obtains, in which a male hegemony in spaced space over repetitive
time on the noumenal planes of metaphysics and antimetachemistry, and voluminous volume over massed mass
on the phenomenal planes of physics and antichemistry
becomes the norm, with beneficial consequences not only for civilization as
something no longer predominantly characterized by barbarism and philistinism
but for those individuals, more importantly, who, being male, would stand to
gain more from the truthful wisdom of the inner light and the punishing
goodness of the inner darkness than ever they had from the outer light and the
outer darkness when those sensualities were considered 'good' and 'wise' rather
than evil and foolish, as they would then be to those who had broken through to
the sensible other side and could live in confidence that the outer light would
never again rear a heathen head, but would always be punished as criminal by
that good which ensued upon the triumph of grace over sin and the victory of
wisdom over folly.
47. To be
kind to the not-self in metachemical sensuality is to
be pro-notself, whereas being cruel to the not-self
in physical or, rather, antichemical sensibility is
to be anti-notself and therefore punishingly ranged
against pro-notself behaviour as against crime from a
standpoint no-less state hegemonic, albeit in relation to the plutocratic
subversion of democracy, as against autocracy and its aristocratic corollary.
48. To be
cruel to the self in chemical or, rather, antiphysical
sensuality is to be anti-self, whereas being kind to the self in metaphysical
sensibility is to be pro-self and therefore gracefully ranged above anti-self
behaviour as above sin from a standpoint no-less church hegemonic, albeit in
relation to theocracy and its technocratic corollary, as against the
meritocratic subversion of bureaucracy.
49. Were
kindness and cruelty always synonymous with good and evil philosophy would be
no difficult matter, but the fact or, rather, truth is that kindness is only
synonymous with good when opposition to pro-notself
behaviour is insufficiently developed or institutionally upheld as to be the
punishing corrective, in cruelty to not-self, of such heathenistic
behaviour, then avowedly criminal.
50. Likewise
were kindness and cruelty always synonymous with wisdom and folly in untransvaluated vein, we could sin with impunity or, at any
rate, conduct ourselves in anti-self behaviour under the impression that such
behaviour was intrinsically wise and therefore beneficial. But a Christian-type transvaluation
ensures that only pro-self behaviour is considered wise and that whatever is
anti-self is foolish because contrary to self-interest which, being essentially
male, results in grace and thus the attainment of a certain holiness.
