CYCLE 92
1. RELIGION FOR 'PRICKS'. I suppose, if I am to be completely fair to
Christians, I should start by making the admission that, given its purgatorial
foundations in Christ, Christianity is, if you will, a religion for 'pricks',
and that, strictly speaking, Catholics are less 'bums' than 'quasi-bums' in relation
to the Holy Ghost; that Dissenters are less 'jerks' than 'quasi-jerks' in
relation to the Father; and that Anglicans are less 'cunts'
than 'quasi-cunts' in relation to the Mother. Only Puritans could be regarded, it would
seem, as 'pricks' per
se, given their strictly purgatorial association, through the New Testament,
with the Son, and hence an intellectual context based in writing
(epistles). No, the real or genuine
'bums', 'jerks' and 'cunts' lie, it would appear,
outside the Christian realm ... in contexts either anterior or, in regard to
'Kingdom Come', posterior to Christianity.
2. CHRISTIAN PREDESTINATION. On a more serious note, it should be evident
that, despite allowances for exceptions, one's denominational background with
regard to Anglicanism, Puritanism, or Catholicism should determine, in no small
degree, one's rightful place in 'Kingdom Come', since it would be as illogical
for Anglicans, say, with their bias towards the Beautiful, to have immediate
access to the realm of truth, as for Catholics, with their bias for the truth
of the Holy Spirit, to be adjudged foregone candidates for beauty in what would
be the 'New Earth' of the bottom tier of our projected triadic Beyond. Yet since all Christians, with the possible
exception of Dissenters, are essentially affiliated to the Good, to
intellectual goodness through the word of Christ, it should follow that no
Christian can gain immediate access to either the 'New Earth' below or the 'New
Heaven' above, but that all Christians will have to spend some time in the 'New
Purgatory' of the second tier of 'Kingdom Come' before they can be adjudged
ripe, where applicable, for either the first or the third tiers, the tiers more
immediately accessible to peoples of non-Christian, and therefore effectively Superheathen, descent, whose extreme standings in relation
to the Christian tradition would entitle them to priority access. Christians, in short, would be foregone
candidates for the poetic quasi-beauty, the literary goodness, and the
philosophical quasi-truth of the 'New Purgatory', with Anglicans gaining
priority access to the first, Puritans priority access to the second, and
Catholics priority access to the third.
Subsequent movement, where appropriate, would follow from this
purgatorial precondition, and entail the integration of ex-Christians into the
non-Christian realms of the 'New Earth' below and the 'New Heaven' above, both
of which would have been more immediately accessible to peoples of
non-Christian descent.
3. VARIABLE THREEFOLD DELIVERANCE. Of course, the above scenario was conceived
against the multiracial, and hence multi-ethnic, background of contemporary
