CYCLE FOURTEEN

1. For me, 'Kingdom Come' is not a mere abstraction but a politico-religious or ideological aspiration which I have sought to concretise in relation to what, in previous texts, has been called a Gaelic federation ... of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

2. Therefore 'Kingdom Come' will not have come to pass on these islands until the Gaels democratically enter into a Social Transcendentalist federation of their respective countries in the interests not only of Irish unity on the island of Ireland but, even more importantly, of independence from England in what would amount, under Social Transcendentalism, to a new religion in which, through religious sovereignty, the People were empowered to develop their respective meditative, cogitative, and contemplative interests in what has been called a triadic Beyond.

3. In such a 'Kingdom', presided over by a 'God-King', or Messianic figurehead who also happened to be no mean philosopher, there would be no Christianity, and therefore no deference to the sort of Creator Worship which, in one degree or another, has always characterized and even compromised Christianity, to the detriment of inner development.

4. In such a 'Kingdom', the People would be their own gods or men or women more sensibly and radically than ever before, and even those who were not destined for godliness would know more about the truth than persons of their masculine or feminine disposition had ever known in the past.

5. They would also know, however, that knowing more about the truth and actually living or being it were two entirely different things, and that no-one need fear the imposition of criteria from above that were too religiously demanding or exacting for mere mortals to take. For the triadic Beyond would ensure that only those who were 'up to' the truth would be expected or encouraged to live it.

6. Class hierarchies are not unfair on the lower orders so much as fair to the lower orders when they take into account the differences between people and allot responsibilities or privileges according to their deserts.

7. What would be unfair would be trying to squeeze everybody, irrespective of class or gender, into the one mould, be it upper class and metaphysical, or lower class and physical and/or chemical. For then you are simply flying in the face of reality and either trying to uniformly upgrade life to the highest common denominator or, worse again, uniformly degrade life to the lowest common denominator, to the detriment of those who have to live it.

8. In reality there are uncommon denominators and common denominators, and while the former are upper class, whether metachemical or metaphysical, the latter are demonstrably lower class, and therefore chemical or physical.

9. Accepting hierarchical differences and distinctions is being fair to life and thus to the people who have to live it, whether 'on high' or 'down below'. You avoid utopian chimeras and end-up with a viable plant-like entity which, with roots, stalk, and blossom, can grow to its full capacity, provided it is being adequately served from a sun-like aside.

10. Such a sun-like aside I have customarily identified with the administrative aspect of 'Kingdom Come', viz. the politico-economic structure of our hypothetical Gaelic Federation, and it would come to pass - and in the nature of things could only come to pass - in consequence of a majority mandate for religious sovereignty and the correlative bearing of the old sovereignties, not least of all political, by the Messianic advocate of 'Kingdom Come' in what would amount to a Christ-like sacrifice on his part through which the People duly found deliverance, via religious sovereignty, from 'sins and/or punishments of the world'.

11. Thus delivered from the bog of worldly sin and/or punishment in which the People, whether republican or parliamentary, had been sunk, they would be able to leave the political administration of 'Kingdom Come' to the Messianic Saviour and, more practically, his closest followers, while they concentrated their principal energies on religious self-development (or, in the case of women, constrained not-self development) within the framework of the triadic Beyond.

12. Simultaneously delivered from the old theocratic religion, with its autocratic sleight-of-hand that substituted Old Testament for New Testament, the People would never again have to defer to primitive Godheads, whether cosmic or universal, and need not fear the substitution of Messiah Worship, in what would amount to a 'cult-of-the-leader' fundamentalism, when they had a structure in place, guaranteed by religious sovereignty, which empowered them to get-on with the nonconformist and humanist and transcendentalist modes of contemplation, cogitation, and meditation, to the exclusion of worshipful devotion to an idol, be that idol living or dead

13. Certainly the Messianic Leader, or Second Coming equivalent, would stand to them as the Creator of 'Kingdom Come', with its triadic Beyond, and thus in a sense the foremost manifestation of the type 'Creator', who, in the event of the People's endorsement, would have supplanted all previous 'Creators', including the most basic and cosmic-oriented one. But he would differ from those autocratic and theocratic 'Creators' as one who was not there to be worshipped, but to encourage the People to develop their respective sensible selves or, in the case of women, sensible chemical not-self more profoundly than would otherwise be the case.

14. For only then will the People be truly free of tyranny and able to determine the scope and pace of their respective levels and kinds of religious development to a point which will be completely beyond religion as it has hitherto been understood, that is to say, at its topmost level a truly religious religion which owed little or nothing to cosmic science.

15. I desire nothing less than the liberation of the People from their autocratic and theocratic and even democratic attachments, that they may become all the more bound, in the case of males, to their deepest self-interests and correspondingly less free, in the case of females, to exploit not-self at the expense of self, particularly, it has to be said, male self.

16. For an authentically religious society, which is after all what 'Kingdom Come' would essentially be at its topmost level, is one in which males are freer than ever before of enslavement to females and more bound, in consequence, to their deeper self, be that self metaphysical or physical, than would otherwise be possible, with beneficial consequences for sensible knowledge and sensible truth.

17. For just as strength militates against knowledge, so beauty militates against truth, and in either case it is not the male side but the female side of life which is uppermost in due chemical or metachemical fashions, to the detriment of man and God.

18. I happen to believe that the Gaels are sufficiently subjective, when male, to want a society in which the male side of life is hegemonic or ascendant over its female side, so that not science and politics but economics and, especially, religion are uppermost, nature and culture supplanting barbarism and civilization, and I also happen to believe that only with a Gaelic federation of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales will a united Ireland finally come to pass, since that should satisfy the requirements of the majority of loyalists and nationalists alike.

19. Thus it is as a revolutionary Unionist that I have put forward the concept of a Gaelic Federation, and I have no doubt that such a union would be in the best interests of the great majority of Gaels both in Ireland, north and south, and in Scotland, Wales, and even the Isle of Man.

20. For it would deliver them from the Catholic/Protestant schism which is perhaps the second greatest failure of Christianity after the Old Testament, and thus make possible, for the first time in centuries, a new sense of nationhood, necessarily pan-Gaelic, via the new religion of Social Transcendentalism.
