CYCLE SIX: INNER METAPHYSICAL UNIVERSALITY
1. Turning away from analogical parallels, let
us now distinguish, within transcendentalism, what may be called the inner
metaphysical universal self (of superconscious mind)
from the inner metaphysical universal not-self (of supernatural will) and the
inner metaphysical universal selflessness (of supercultural
spirit).
2. Clearly, that which is of the inner
metaphysical universal self is of the superconscious
mind, the superego of the superman, and contrasts not only with the inner
metaphysical universal not-self ... of supernatural will, the formful will of the lungs to breathe, but with the inner
metaphysical universal selflessness ... of supercultural
spirit, the air that is breathed by the lungs and which becomes, for the supermasculine meditator, the
spiritual redemption, through perfect content(ment),
of his self.
3. Such a spiritual redemption is achieved
precisely because the essence of selfless universality provides, in its
boundless lightness, a release for the inner metaphysical universal self from
its selfishness, and thereby enlightens it, making it (super)conscious of a joy
which lifts it beyond both inner metaphysical profanity and divinity, inner
metaphysical self and not-self, towards inner metaphysical sublimity,
which is nothing less than the heavenly condition which comes upon that which
is able to identify itself with selfless universality on the out-breath of the
spirit.
4. This superconscious
self, which is not of itself spirit but owes its origins to spirit, becomes for
the nonce one with spirit, and is therefore rendered holy by that which
transcends the inner metaphysical universal self in its selfless universality,
and brings to the self-transcending inner metaphysical universal self an accommodation
with its soul, so to speak, the sensible being of sublime joy (bliss), pretty
much as a fall-back from one extreme to another within the inner metaphysical
context, before, returning to its rational or, rather, super-rational
selfishness again, the inner metaphysical universal self plunges anew into the
inner metaphysical universal not-self of the (inner metaphysical) divine will,
in order to be borne aloft, on the ethereal wings of the out-breath, towards
both a deliverance from itself and an accommodation, more importantly, with
that core of itself which is the metaphysical response to selfless
universality.
5. For behind the superconscious
mind of the superego, or inner metaphysical universal self, lies the
super-unconscious mind of the superego's soul, or inner metaphysical universal unself, and it is this which the superego experiences, once
it is lifted free of itself by selfless universality and rebounds from spirit
to soul, before regaining its (super)rational
equilibrium and returning, albeit briefly, to itself.
6. Hence there is for the meditating
Transcendentalist a cycle of progressions from mind to soul or, rather,
soul-mind via will and spirit, as from self to unself-self
via not-self and selflessness, in which the entire gamut of metaphysical
possibility is explored and experienced.
The out-breath is less Heaven for the meditating Transcendentalist than
the means to the heavenly End which comes upon it when it is thrust back from
lightness to enlightenment, from spirit to joy, and experiences the kernel of
its metaphysical being.... Or, rather, selfless universality is heavenly
alright, but the lightness of spirit is simply too much for the self to abide
with for very long, and it is therefore thrust back upon its inner kernel as upon
the most desirable of hells which the mind of (super)man could possibly
experience, and is enlightened by metaphysical soul, the soul not of Hell per se,
still less of anything metachemical on the Cupidian axis of space-time, but of the innermost depths of
that transcendent earth which is commensurate with the mind of inner
metaphysical universal self, and which would otherwise remain too deeply buried
for experiential exhumation, so to speak, were it not for the rebound from
universal selflessness which allows the self to realize its soulful kernel,
before regaining its equilibrium and plunging from superego into superwill, as from the superself
to supernature, as before.
7. Thus a progression not only from mind to
spirit via will on the plane of inner metaphysics, but from mind to soul-mind
via will and spirit there, as from the Son to the Risen Son via the Father and
the Holy Ghost, the former commensurate with ultimate God and the latter with
ultimate Heaven, as, on a lower level, with lungs and breath, the form and
content of inner metaphysical universality, which both take from the self and
give back to the self enhanced experience of its soulful core.
