CYCLE NINETEEN
1. Fiery metachemistry,
being apparent, is the element of doing par excellence, wherein doing is
alone - of the doing, giving, taking, being options - in its per se
manifestation.
2. Watery chemistry, being quantitative, is the
element of giving par excellence, wherein giving is alone - of the doing, giving,
taking, being options - in its per se manifestation.
3. Vegetative physics, being qualitative, is the
element of taking par excellence, wherein taking is alone - of the doing, giving,
taking, being options - in its per se manifestation.
4. Airy metaphysics, being essential, is the
element of being par excellence, wherein being is alone - of the doing, giving,
taking, being options - in its per se manifestation.
5. To contrast the
apparent doing of metachemistry with the quasi-quantitative
doing of chemistry, the quasi-qualitative doing of physics, and the
quasi-essential doing of metaphysics.
6. To contrast the quantitative giving of
chemistry with the quasi-apparent giving of metachemistry,
the quasi-essential giving of metaphysics, and the quasi-qualitative giving of
physics.
7. To contrast the qualitative taking of physics
with the quasi-essential taking of metaphysics, the quasi-apparent taking of metachemistry, and the quasi-quantitative taking of
chemistry.
8. To contrast the essential being of
metaphysics with the quasi-qualitative being of physics, the quasi-quantitative
being of chemistry, and the quasi-apparent being of metachemistry.
9. To contrast the
apparent doing of metachemistry with the essential
being of metaphysics, as one would contrast the most scientific with the most
religious.
10. To contrast the
quantitative giving of chemistry with the qualitative taking of physics, as one
would contrast the most political with the most economic.
11. The fact that, in metachemistry, giving, taking and being are quasi-apparent
does not preclude them from being pseudo-quantitative, pseudo-qualitative, and
pseudo-essential, respectively, in relation to the genuinely apparent standing
of metachemical doing.
12. The fact that, in
chemistry, doing, taking and being are quasi-quantitative does not preclude
them from being pseudo-apparent, pseudo-qualitative, and pseudo-essential,
respectively, in relation to the genuinely quantitative standing of chemical
giving.
13. The fact that, in
physics, doing, giving and being are quasi-qualitative does not preclude them
from being pseudo-apparent, pseudo-quantitative, and pseudo-essential,
respectively, in relation to the genuinely qualitative standing of physical
taking.
14. The fact that, in
metaphysics, doing, giving and taking are quasi-essential does not preclude
them from being pseudo-apparent, pseudo-quantitative, and pseudo-qualitative,
respectively, in relation to the genuinely essential standing of metaphysical being.
15. Nothing can ever change the fact that fire is
the apparent element par excellence, water the quantitative element par
excellence, vegetation the qualitative element par excellence, and
air the essential element par excellence, with respective correspondences
to will, spirit, ego, and soul or, rather, in strictly elemental terms, to
power, glory, form, and contentment.
16. For will, spirit,
ego, and soul tend to be the organic manifestations of what, more basically,
are power, glory, form, and contentment.
17. From the metachemical
power of will in its per se
manifestation to the metaphysical contentment of soul in its per se
manifestation via the chemical glory of spirit in its per se
manifestation and the physical form of ego in its per se manifestation.
18. From the metachemical
power of first-rate will to the metachemical
contentment of fourth-rate soul via the metachemical
glory of second-rate spirit and the metachemical form
of third-rate ego, all of which are either apparent or quasi-apparent in
relation to a doing per se.
19. From the chemical power of second-rate will to
the chemical contentment of third-rate soul via the chemical glory of
first-rate spirit and the chemical form of fourth-rate ego, all of which are
either quantitative or quasi-quantitative in relation to a giving per se.
20. From the physical power of third-rate will to
the physical contentment of second-rate soul via the physical glory of
fourth-rate spirit and the physical form of first-rate ego, all of which are
either qualitative or quasi-qualitative in relation to a taking per se.
21. From the metaphysical power of fourth-rate
will to the metaphysical contentment of first-rate soul via the metaphysical
glory of third-rate spirit and the metaphysical form of second-rate ego, all of
which are either essential or quasi-essential in relation to a being per se.
