THE UNDERSOUL

1. Consciously, the ego uses the will and the spirit to achieve soul for itself, passing from conscious to subconscious via unconscious and superconscious, as from primary God (the Son) to primary Heaven (the Holy Soul) via secondary God (the Father) and secondary Heaven (the Holy Spirit) - at any rate, within the context of metaphysics, both sensually, in the (once born) 'kingdom without' and sensibly, in the (reborn) 'kingdom within'.

2. Outside metaphysics the same principle, effectively a cyclical recurrence, applies less to sons, fathers, and holy spirits/souls, so to speak, than in physics to sons, fathers, and unholy spirits/souls; in chemistry to daughters, mothers, and clear spirits/souls; and in metachemistry to daughters, mothers, and unclear spirits/souls.

3. Now just as people differ in their approach to soul or, more correctly, in the kind of soul to which they habitually relate, not to mention - more importantly in non-metaphysical contexts - the kinds of ego, spirit, and will, so their central nervous system differs according to gender and genetic factors which determine, in advance, the nature of the self, be it metachemical, chemical, physical, or metaphysical.

4. In fact, so much do selves differ in this way, that it is impossible to categorically regard the self, the CNS, as passing from God to Heaven at death, even if the notion of a beginning and an end, alpha and omega, is applicable to all selves, whatever their underlying elemental constitution.

5. For, in actuality, only a metaphysical self, the type of central nervous system which predisposes one to metaphysics, is compatible with the notion of id as God and soul as Heaven, albeit 'God' is less the 'Son' than a primary manifestation of the 'Father', and the soul is accordingly less the resurrected 'Son' than a resurrected 'Father' - in short, a kind of blissful undersoul compared to the joyful oversoul, to speak in rather Emersonian terms, which characterizes the conscious pursuit of primary Heaven.

6. Therefore it is deeper and correspondingly more perfect, more eternal, than the oversoul to which one ordinarily applies the term 'soul' in common or everyday usage.

7. This undersoul only comes to light, as it were, at death, since it is the transmutation of the id, corresponding to a primary 'Father', and not of the ego, corresponding to a primary 'Son'.

8. Only with the type of person whose self is primarily metaphysical ... can one speak of id into soul in terms of God and Heaven. For the rest, the id-into-soul transmutation of the self will have less to do with God and Heaven than, in the case of physical selves, with man and the earth; in the case of chemical selves, with woman and purgatory; and in the case of metachemical selves, with Devil and Hell.

9. For the afterlife experience, to speak bluntly, is proportionate to the type of self, for better or worse, with which one had lived as a person, be that self female or male, upper class or lower class, evil and/or good on the one hand, that of metachemical and chemical selves, or foolish and/or wise on the other hand, that of physical and metaphysical selves - the former options objective and the latter ones subjective.

10. The assumption that everyone is destined for Heaven at death is absurdly presumptuous. Only those whose self is fundamentally of God in its metaphysical bias can anticipate a heavenly transmutation on the part of what, for them, had been an impressive id.

11. The rest can expect the earth, purgatory, or Hell, as respectively germane to depressive, compressive, and expressive ids within a self that, far from being metaphysical, could only have been physical, chemical, or metachemical, depending on the person.

12. Thus while the alpha and omega of the self, the id and the soul of the central nervous system, are indeed commensurate with God and Heaven for airy, or metaphysical, types, they are more likely to be commensurate with man and the earth for vegetative, or physical, types; with woman and purgatory for watery, or chemical, types; and with the Devil and Hell for fiery, or metachemical, types - most of whom, to speak pedantically, will be upper-class females, for whom not strength and pride (as with chemical types), still less knowledge and pleasure (as with physical types) or truth and joy (as with metaphysical types), had been their characteristic modes of self, but beauty and love (presuming, as I have been all along, on a positive as opposed to a negative disposition).
