The Superheathen/Subchristian Integrity
of Metachemistry. In the
tradition of one bringing the various aspects of his philosophy into line with
the principal elements of the intercardinal axial
compass to which they appertain, I should like to bring to the metachemical distinction between supernaturalism and subnurturalism, so to speak, or, in alternative if
equivalent terminology, supersensuousness and subconsciousness, a like distinction between superheathenism and subchristianity,
deriving the former from a generic link with all things somatic and the latter
from a generic link with all things psychic, so that a basic heathen/christian dichotomy could be inferred to indicate a
distinction between body and mind, soma and psyche, with the more
representative factors or aspects of each, whether 'super' or 'standard', very
much conforming to an alpha/omega, sensual/sensible antithesis roughly
compatible with gender opposition. Hence rather than a simple ascription of
superheathen to the metachemical
elemental context, as before, I should like to reduce that to the somatic
component, and allow for an identification of subchristianity
with its psychic component, the former free and the latter bound, the former
bright and the latter dark (in shadow), in accordance with the 3:1 ratio of
soma to psyche which makes for a 'super'/'sub' distinction between the two
aspects of metachemistry, an absolutely female
element in which soma precedes and predominates over psyche in the manner
described, with a contrast, in consequence, between superheathen
life and subchristian death, the beauty and love of
evil coupled to the ugliness and hate of crime in an elemental context that,
being noumenally objective, is vain in its undamned and uncursed absolute
clearness in relation to spatial heat.
