1. Transcendentalism is a context in which the supermasculinity of God in supreme being
is paramount; nonconformism a context in which the
masculinity of man in supreme taking is paramount; humanism a context in which
the femininity of woman in supreme giving is paramount. Hence in the transcendentalist context of the
Holy Spirit of Heaven, only the supermasculine should
prevail; in the nonconformist context of the Holy Mind of Purgatory, only the
masculine should prevail; and in the humanist context of the Holy Id of the
World, only the feminine should prevail.
2. The triadic Beyond
to which I subscribe, as the self-styled architect of 'Kingdom Come', will
amount to a Superchristian dispensation for the
deliverance of Mass, Volume, and Space from the clutches of Time, which
currently rules both Mass and Volume from a fundamentalist base in the Superheathen Behind.
Judgement is not about the end of the World, in the sense of some
apocalyptic upheaval likely to destroy life and/or the Earth itself, but about
the end of Time, of everything associated with the Father, and hence religious
fundamentalism. For Time is the enemy of
Eternity, and so long as Time rules life from its fundamentalist Hell, there
can be no Eternity, and thus deliverance of the World and Purgatory, in
particular, from the Devil's grip.
3. Anglicans and Puritans will have to decide,
when the moment is adjudged ripe, whether to remain under the dominion of
Dissenter fundamentalism in what passes, in some quarters, for 'Protestant
solidarity', or join with Roman Catholics in democratically opting, as they
would (from this writer's standpoint) be fully entitled to do, for deliverance
from Time in the Eternity of the triadic Beyond, where woman, man, and God, or
the godly, could have access to a new and superior order of Mass, Volume, and
Space than would otherwise be possible, an order, I mean, beyond the confines
of both Protestant and Catholic traditions in what would amount to a Superchristian refinement upon beauty, knowledge, and
truth. No more need beauty and knowledge
bow to strength, as though to the Devil.
No more need Christian truth feel excluded and isolated as something, no
matter how short of the kind of genuine truth I have in mind, 'beyond the pale'
(of 'Protestant solidarity'?). I neither
advance a heavenly exclusivity such that, extrapolated from the Holy Spirit,
would probably alienate Protestants as 'too religious' nor exclude
Heaven for those who, as Catholics, would be most entitled to it.
4. The triadic Beyond would have a place for
almost everyone or, at any rate, for Humanists and Nonconformists as well as
Transcendentalists, and none need feel in any degree beholden to the others, as
though beauty and knowledge were somehow disreputable failings vis-à-vis
truth. The accommodation of Mass and
Volume to Space in what would amount to an ultimate pluralism is no shoddy
compromise dreamt up by an unprincipled amoralist,
but the only possible and desirable arrangement for Eternity. Not only can people never be forced into a
single mould, say heavenly at the expense of earthly, or vice versa, but it
would serve Eternity no advantage were one only to think in such partisan
terms. For Mass and Volume are just as
capable of Eternity as Space, and without their consent, democratically expressed
through the will of the People, it is highly doubtful that Space would achieve
Eternity in any case, given that truth is only one factor in the totality of
factors which have to be taken into democratic account. Heaven may be the apex or top tier of our
projected triadic Beyond, but without the World and
Purgatory, or woman and man, there is no way that such a Beyond could ever come
about! For the triadic Beyond is not
just about God or of God, but must also be of that which, approximating to woman
in the 'New Earth' and to man in the 'New Purgatory', is less than God, and
thus less than the 'New Heaven' of the divinely Saved. The triadic Beyond is everything that anyone
could ever want it to be - anyone, that is, except the Devil and those for whom
the infernal Behind of Father Time takes precedence over the prospect of
Eternity. For them, on the contrary,
Eternity is simply 'beyond the pale' of that which is subject to the dominion
of Time.
