ON LIFE

1. Life is a process of evolution from the Diabolic Alpha to the Divine Omega, as from the Devil to God.

2. Nature is the enemy of civilization, but, like all enemies, it can be vanquished.

3. The stars are many, the Holy Spirit is one.

4. Women signify appearance over essence, men, by contrast, essence over appearance.

5. Art progresses from illusion to truth, from fiction to fact.

6. Human life embraces three principal class stages, viz. an aristocratic, a bourgeois, and a proletarian, and progresses from the first to the third, as from rural and suburban to urban environments.

7. The more we isolate ourselves from nature, the more civilized we become.

8. There are three stages of religious evolution, viz. a pagan, a Christian, and a transcendental, which roughly correspond to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

9. Political evolution also passes through three stages, viz. a royalist, a liberal pluralist, and a socialist.

10. The state can be the master of the People or their servant, depending on the stage of its evolution. In the one case it is royalist, in the other case socialist. There is also an in-between realm in which, under liberal pluralism, a compromise between rule and service prevails.

11. The post-Human(ist) Millennium, or highest civilization, should lead directly to the transcendental Beyond.

12. At bottom the Universe is, and always has been, evil. Only evolutionary civilization aspires towards goodness.

13. The stars signify the most agonized doing. The Holy Spirit will signify the most blissful being.

14. He who imagines that, by itself, Transcendental Meditation will suffice to ensure his future salvation ... is a misguided idealist.

15. The Supreme Being comes at the climax of evolution, not at the beginning!

16. Between two absolutes man weaves his course - a creation of the alpha absolute, a potential creator of the omega absolute.

17. The stars will eventually collapse and disintegrate. Supreme being, on the other hand, will last for ever.

18. Christianity, being a dualistic phenomenon, embraces both a diluted paganism and a diluted transcendentalism. Jesus Christ, the 'Three in One', is both body and spirit as well as will. But He is less will than the Father and less spirit than the Holy Ghost. Being good, He can save the body through love. But instinctual strength and spiritual truth are respectively anterior and posterior to Him.

19. From the pre-dualistic to the post-dualistic via the dualistic - that is the path of evolution.

20. Everyday consciousness is a product of the fusion-point between the subconscious and superconscious parts of the psyche.

21. One day the superconscious will triumph over the subconscious.

22. The natural world must inevitably lead to the supernatural one, to that which will come about when man abandons the former for the latter, and thus becomes superman - a creature of the Holy Ghost.

23. The stars are components of Hell. The Holy Spirit will alone be Heaven.

24. The pronoun 'He' in relation to God is only relevant during an anthropomorphic or egocentric stage of evolution. With the arrival of a post-egocentric age, however, we should refer to divinity as 'it'. For the Holy Spirit is beyond anthropomorphism.

25. Never forget that supreme being is in the making, not an already-existent fact!

26. Never confound spirit with Holy Spirit. The former is flesh-bound. The latter will be transcendent.

27. Spirit is only potentially divine, not divinity itself. Strictly speaking, there is no tat twam asi (thou art that).

28. The transcendental Beyond, composed of undifferentiated transcendent spirit, will be ultimate reality, beyond which evolution could not go, having attained to its culmination in perfect unity.

29. At death, the spirit simply expires. Death signifies the mortal overcoming of the spirit by the flesh.

30. We must get beyond the flesh if the spirit is to survive.

31. Technology should gradually replace the natural body with an artificial support/sustain system for the brain. Spirit will therefore be able to avoid the death that the natural body would otherwise have inflicted upon it. Its eternal potential, or potential for eternity, will thereby be fully realized.

32. We must become increasingly technological if we are eventually to attain to our goal in transcendent spirit.

33. As we overcome nature, so we become increasingly artificial. The attainment of the supernatural can only be effected through the maximum artificiality.

34. In the future, propagation will be artificially regulated.

35. In reflecting an urge towards sexual sublimation, the use of pornography is but a stage on the road to our complete liberation from the flesh.

36. Sex in the head is the logical evolutionary development beyond sex in the body.

37. Man eats and drinks, but he will cease to eat and drink once he becomes artificially transmuted.

38. Man defecates and urinates, but he will cease to defecate and urinate once he becomes artificially transmuted.

39. Man copulates and reproduces, but he will cease to copulate and reproduce once he becomes artificially transmuted.

40. Man sleeps and dreams, but he will cease to sleep and dream once he becomes artificially transmuted.

41. Man is thus a victim of the sensual, but he will cease to be a victim of the sensual once he becomes artificially transmuted.

42. The human world must tend towards unity on the material plane before it can hope to achieve unity on the spiritual one. It must put social means before transcendental ends.

43. Sensual love will give way to spiritual love - love, in the subconscious, for another individual, to love, in the superconscious, of the self.

44. The impersonal self, or spirit, will replace the personal self, or body.

45. Never confound socialism with religion. It is politics.

46. A socialist society is not a civilized society. It is a society on the road to civilization.

47. Civilization presupposes politics and religion harmonized with the existence of a compatible nobility. Thus pre-dualistic civilization embraces royalism and paganism harmonized with aristocratic nobility. Dualistic civilization embraces liberal pluralism and Christianity harmonized with bourgeois nobility. Post-dualistic civilization will embrace socialism and transcendentalism harmonized with proletarian nobility.

48. A class with a politics but no religion is a class in the process of evolving towards nobility, not a completed nobility. In contemporary terms, the proletariat are such a class.

49. When urban dwellers accept and participate in both socialism and transcendentalism, becoming socialistically transcendentalist, they will constitute a new nobility - the proletarian one.

50. An age of transition between one civilization and another is necessarily barbarous.

51. The new barbarism takes the form of a materialistic one-sidedness. Post-dualistic civilization will embrace a materialistic/spiritualistic compromise which will give way, in the post-Human Millennium, to a spiritualistic one-sidedness leading, ultimately, to the transcendental Beyond.

52. Have no fear, Christianity wasn't an aberration but an integral part of civilized evolution. They weren't madmen or fools who conceived of a Beyond. They simply conceived of it from an egocentric and therefore misguided viewpoint. We should know better!

53. The post-egocentric age is also post-dualistic. Hence an intolerance, wherever post-egocentric criteria obtain, of humanism. Man is something, in Nietzschean parlance, that should be overcome. What are you doing to overcome him?

54. Men aren't now equal, but one day they shall be.

55. A classless society will only truly exist when all men are engaged in the same pursuit - namely, the cultivation of spirit.

56. The further we progress, the more do we advocate and experience being over doing.

57. The stars, through their ferocious conversion of hydrogen into helium, are the maximum negative doing, and therefore the most evil of all phenomena. The Holy Spirit will be the maximum positive being, and therefore the most good.

58. Each succeeding nobility attains to a higher concept of being over doing, and so experiences greater being.

59. The more negative doing one indulges in, the closer one stands to the infernal creative-and-sustaining force. The more positive being, on the other hand, the closer one draws to the divine consummation of evolution.

60. Truth is a liberator; it frees one from illusion.

61. Space is infinite but the stars are finite. There can never be an end to the former, but there must certainly be a limit to (the number of) the latter.

62. Time is finite but eternity will be infinite. There is a limit set to the former, but there can be no end to the latter.

63. Space and time cannot be harmonized, any more than could the stars and eternity. Eventually time must give way to eternity and the stars to space. The Universe will culminate in infinity - without limits!

64. The omega absolute presupposes indefinite expansion - an expansion without limits and a lifespan without end.

65. The Universe isn't expanding with regard to the stars. Only spirit will continue to expand in the Universe, and most especially transcendent spirit. Stars, on the contrary, diverge.

66. By its very frictional nature, doing expends itself on reaction. Being, on the other hand, sustains and enlarges itself on attraction.

67. The omega absolute will never cease to expand in the infinity of endless space. For if it did, it would not be living or, rather, being.

68. A static omega absolute would be dwarfed by the infinity of space, rendering such infinity somewhat superfluous.

69. Only through the omega absolute's indefinite expansion would the infinity of space serve a logical purpose by ensuring its eternity.

70. The temporal contraction of the stars (solar devolution) should be seen as the converse of the eternal expansion of the Holy Spirit (spiritual evolution).

71. Thus while the Universe contracts materially, it expands spiritually through man and (presumably) man-equivalent life forms elsewhere.

72. Those that confound the Supreme Being with the Almighty, or truth with strength, are just as likely to confound the spiritual nature of the expanding Universe with galactic divergence.

73. An imperfect Universe will be brought to perfection via man in the perfected essence of transcendent spirit.

74. Whether a convergence of universal spirit to ultimate spiritual unity will be achieved simultaneously or gradually and successively, following the amalgamation of simultaneously-expanding globes of transcendent spirit, remains open to dispute.

75. It isn't, however, impossible that, given the immensity of the physical Universe, there will be a number of omega absolutes, or spiritual globes, simultaneously in existence, which will converge towards one another prior to the establishment of ultimate spiritual unity, or the definitive omega absolute.

76. But even this definitive omega absolute, the sum-product of all previous convergences of individual spiritual globes, would continue to expand in infinite space according to its essential nature in blissful being, until it was far greater than the greatest stars had ever been, and yet never static, never nearing a maximum scale.

77. For one cannot set dimensional limits to that which would be the highest existence the Universe had engendered or could ever engender.

78. Only the stars have limits, and they are not the highest but the most primal existences in the Universe - namely, the alpha absolutes.

79. In collapsing, the stars will leave the Universe to divine perfection; for it will then be the omega absolute.

80. But the Universe isn't divinely perfect at present, at any rate not, in particular, with regard to the stars! For they are simply infernal, and will continue to preclude the Universe from attaining, through man, to ultimate perfection as long as they exist.

81. Pantheism, through which God is identified with the Universe, is essentially unconscious diabolism, in which the Devil is taken for God, and Hell for Heaven.

82. But true divinity does not exist. We have a moral duty to create it, and so bring about the supreme beingfulness of the omega absolute.

83. We have our spirits and one day they will be transformed into Holy Spirit - pure and transcendent. For that is the way of evolution!
