GOD AND HEAVEN

1. Whether a 'Creator' exists or not in relation to this planet and, by implication, the innumerable life forms on it, there is no need to worship 'Him', since worship is, by and large, a primitive manifestation of religion.

2. Doubtless some star, whether the Sun or some other body in the Galaxy, if not the Universe, played a part in the 'creation', by extrapolation, of this planet. But even if that body or star should still exist, that would be no excuse or reason for worship!

3. A lot of what grows or exists on earth owes much of its origins to the Earth itself, not to some extraterrestrial body. Naturally, the Sun is an important factor in the continuing growth and existence of life on earth, but it is by no means the sole factor!

4. We are all composites of many factors - some terrestrial and doubtless others extraterrestrial, like the Sun and the Moon. Therefore no single factor can be accorded merit for creating life on earth, much less human life.

5. Human life itself is very diverse. People come in different shapes and sizes even in the same race, never mind in relation to the different races. And then the races themselves - red, white, black, yellow, and any number of mixed-race variations on what I have long equated with an element-conditioned theme - how different they are!

6. And who or what created them all? - Well, not a red God or a white God or a black God or a yellow God, that's for sure! More like variations on the many factors that contribute - common propagative impulses aside - to the compositeness of human life - some of them unnatural (and arguably metachemical), others supernatural (and arguably chemical), natural (and arguably physical), and subnatural (and arguably metaphysical), to greater or lesser extents, depending on the race (if ascertainable).

7. So an unnatural Creator, a supernatural Creator, a natural Creator, and a subnatural Creator, not simply one Creator, not even where any given race was concerned (though one could generalize in terms of a more prominent factor for each race - unnatural for reds, supernatural for whites, natural for blacks, and subnatural for yellows).

8. Be that as it may, I don't believe in Creator-worship, for the most genuine and significant God any man can identify with is the God within himself, and such a God, necessarily deistic, can only be metaphysical.

9. In short, you have to be a certain type of man - sort of metaphysically upper class - with a certain type of racial disposition - probably yellow or thereabouts - to be able to take the God within, the true God, seriously, whether in primary (with regard to the self) or in secondary (with regard to the not-self) terms.

10. For, ultimately, God exists in relation to the subnatural/subhuman, the metaphysical will/ego par excellence, while everywhere else is to be found only man, woman, and the Devil; physical nature, chemical supernature, and metachemical unnature, as one retreats from deity, and hence deism, in variously theistic terms - pantheistic, polytheistic, and monotheistic.

11. And what is God, this God that exists within in both subnatural and subhuman terms, if not someone and something that needs to be redeemed in and by Heaven - the subastral Heaven of the spirit for the secondary God (subnatural will), and the subconscious Heaven of the soul for the primary God (subhuman ego), whether in sensuality or, more significantly, in sensibility.

12. For unless will is redeemed in spirit and, for the self, ego is redeemed in soul, there is no sense to God, since God is not an end-in-himself/itself, but a means to a higher end - the end, needless to say, of Heaven.
