51. But
since humanism is already sensible and a kind of omega alternative within 'the
world' to nonconformism, it could not be described in
antihumanist terms, but would simply be the modified
taking that was expected to defer to the overall hegemony of being, as to
transcendentalism, in pseudo-humanist vein.
52. In
this respect, the pattern of administrative aside and triadic Beyond, as
germane to our projection of 'Kingdom Come', would more resemble a plurality of
sensible factors in which the administrative aside would be characterized by a
sort of antigiving antinonconformism
of antibureaucratic strength designed to serve the
taking pseudo-humanism, or modified humanism, of knowledge on the bottom tier
of the triadic Beyond, while the antidoing antifundamentalism of beauty duly lined up under the beingful transcendentalism of truth, like an anti-autocracy
under a pure theocracy, the latter of which would determine the overall shape
and scope of the triadic Beyond in respect of psychic freedom.
53. For
such freedom would ensure that a beautiful approach to truth and a loving
approach to joy were the psychic corollaries of truth and joy in the
relationship of antifundamentalism to
transcendentalism, anti-autocracy to theocracy, with a strong approach to
knowledge and a proud approach to pleasure being the psychic corollaries of
knowledge and pleasure in the relationship of antinonconformism
to pseudo-humanism, antibureaucracy to
pseudo-democracy or, rather, the pseudo-democratic 'take' on theocracy that
would pertain to the bottom tier of the triadic Beyond in suitably phenomenal,
or lower-class, terms.
54. Only
the transvaluation of bureaucracy in respect of antibureaucracy can guarantee, it seems to me, that the
administrative aside to the triadic Beyond will be primarily of the Church
rather than of the State and therefore identifiable with the serving rule of a
'God Kingship' rather than of either a 'Devil Kingship' or a secular monarchy
likely to be incompatible with the lead of God.
55. Therefore,
in general terms, it is as though the transcendence of bureaucracy by theocracy
would ensure an antibureaucratic transmutation of
bureaucracy - analogous in sexual terms to the substitution of plastic inflatables for conceptual coitus - in keeping with the
enhanced sensibility that would flow down from above, making for a strong
support, in the administrative aside, to the triadic Beyond, the middle and
bottom tiers of which would be characterized not by chemical sensibility, still
less by metaphysical sensibility, but by the metachemical
and physical sensibilities of beauty and knowledge.
56. Hence
a plurality of religious praxis in the triadic Beyond stretching from knowledge
and beauty to truth, while the administrative aside was primarily characterized
by strength, as by a determination to serve the 'good', the beautiful, and the
true.
57. But
all would be subsumed into and led by truth, as by joy, and therefore not be
independent forms of strength, knowledge, or beauty, but modified, or 'bovaryized', forms subject to transmutation by truth and
ever subordinate, in consequence, to the lead of transcendentalism, which is of
the essence of Social Theocracy.
58. For
only truth over beauty in the upper-class, or noumenal,
contexts of metaphysics and metachemistry or, rather,
antimetachemistry, and knowledge over strength in the
lower-class, or phenomenal, contexts of physics and chemistry or, rather, antichemistry (as germane to the administrative aside to
the triadic Beyond) can guarantee, in male hegemonic vein, a psychic monism in
which not beauty but a beautiful approach to truth defers to truth, and not
strength but a strong approach to knowledge defers to knowledge, together with
their respective spiritual and emotional concomitants.
59. Therefore
antichemistry must be behind the eternities of
physics, antimetachemistry, and metaphysics, like an antibureaucracy behind pseudo-democracy, anti-autocracy,
and theocracy, albeit, in all cases, that which was less than fully or properly
theocratic would be deferentially subordinate to the prevailing ideal, the
ultimate ideal of transcendentalism.
60. Certainly
I have shifted my ground slightly from how I had formerly conceived of the
administrative aside and triadic Beyond (without, however, the denominational
hierarchies that would place persons of Catholic descent above their Anglican
counterparts and persons of Anglican descent above their Puritan counterparts
being in any way altered), but that is only because subsequent moral insights
or logical gains have made such a shift possible.
61. The
truth, the truly eternal virtue of metaphysical sensibility, has remained
intact and steadfast, as it could only be expected to, but other and lesser
concerns, not least in respect of knowledge, are often subject to re-evaluation
and modification in light of how the truth is conceived, and that has proved to
be the case once again.
62. Only
that which is properly germane to Eternity, the Truth, can remain unchanged in
the flux of time. Everything else -
strength, knowledge, beauty - is subject to change and will continue to be
changed as circumstances dictate, which is to say until they no longer exist
independently of truth but have been subsumed into truth and effectively done
away with as eternity replaces time.
63. For
even if you have to start with a plurality of factors, whatever their sensible
scope, the end of evolutionary progress must be the one alone, the divine
factor, which would have the right, in the religiously sovereign context of
'Kingdom Come', not only to subordinate everything else to itself, but to carry
on modifying and transmuting strength, knowledge, and beauty until they were no
longer recognizably different, but one and indivisible with Truth.
64. Of
course, we are not concerned with anything properly autocratic, even on
constitutional terms, nor properly democratic, as in relation to the
autocratic-democratic axis of State hegemonic civilization, whether in England
or elsewhere, but with autocratic and democratic subversions of theocracy
which, unlike the bureaucratic subversion of it more typifying 'Mother Church',
have to do with the secondary forms of the Church which, in Ireland and even
Celtic countries generally, typify Protestants and make them distinct from
overly political types and affiliations.
65. Therefore
the transmutation of autocracy into anti-autocracy for Anglicans in respect of
the middle tier of the triadic Beyond and the transmutation of democracy into
if not antidemocracy then pseudo-democracy for
Puritans in respect of the bottom tier of the triadic Beyond does not imply the
transmutation of their political counterparts but, rather, only of the
autocratic and/or democratic subversions of theocracy with which Irish
Protestants - and Celtic Protestants in general - could be identified in
shadow-church vein to the bureaucratic subversion of theocracy characterizing
their Catholic counterparts, most of whom, released from bureaucratic
constraint, would soar into the airy heights of the top tier of our projected
triadic Beyond and thus achieve the nearest thing, where applicable, to a
transcendentalist per se.
66. Hence
the pluralism of 'Kingdom Come' does not imply that the autocratic-democratic
axis of British and, in particular, English civilization dissolves itself in
order to fit in, albeit on subordinate terms, with such changes as might be in
store for the bureaucratic-theocratic axis typifying Irish civilization but,
rather, that only Irish Protestants and their Celtic counterparts in Scotland
and possibly Wales could be expected to vote for religious sovereignty and, in
the event of a majority mandate, take up predetermined positions in the triadic
Beyond of 'Kingdom Come', insofar as their relationship to autocracy and/or
democracy had been primarily religious and secondarily political, and this in
spite of the state primacy accruing to autocratic and democratic affiliations
in countries like England where, not God and the Church, but what could be
called either the Devil and the State or Man and the State come first.
67. Hence
the possibility of an anti-autocratic accommodation of theocracy in beauty and
love for Irish and Celtic Anglicans, together with the possibility of a
pseudo-democratic accommodation of theocracy in knowledge and pleasure for
Irish and Celtic Puritans should not be confounded with the fanciful notion of
either an autocratic accommodation of theocracy or a democratic accommodation
of theocracy, since state-hegemonic autocracy and democracy are two entirely
different and separate issues which cannot be reconciled to a theocratic
hegemony.
68. But a
transmuted autocratic subversion of theocracy that becomes an anti-autocratic
deference to a freer theocracy within Ireland and such countries is certainly
within the bounds of plausibility, as is a transmuted democratic subversion of
theocracy that becomes a pseudo-democratic deference to such a freer theocracy
within a framework of religious praxis that is served by an antibureaucratic
deference to pure theocracy in what has been termed the administrative aside to
the triadic Beyond.
69. But
in order for 'Kingdom Come' to actually come to pass, there must first be a
paradoxical election, effectively pertaining to Judgement, which has the aim of
bringing the world to the gates of the otherworldly context alluded to above,
and for that to transpire a majority mandate for religious sovereignty would be
necessary - something which is only likely to materialize in countries where,
whether in Catholic or Protestant or some other form, God and the Church come
first and a majority mandate for such a revolutionary sovereignty can
reasonably be inferred and even expected.
70. Clearly
this would not be the case in royalist-parliamentary England, where the
autocratic-democratic axis ensures that God and the Church, to the extent we
may recognize anything religious in the autocratic and democratic 'bovaryizations' of theocracy, take a secondary place in the
overall hierarchy of hegemonic values, and that far from God and the theocratic
Church or even Woman and the bureaucratic Church, much less their
fundamentalist or humanist counterparts, it is if not the Devil and the State
then, in democratic freedom, Man and the State that come first, and would
reduce everything to the aforementioned 'frigging' and/or 'sodding'
corruptions.
71. One
cannot save or deliver from sensuality to enhanced sensibility a corrupt
people, and therefore it can only be left to such a people to deliver
themselves from corruption and make themselves more amenable to the possibility
of theocratic liberation, whether in relation to theocracy per se or to some
deference to it on the part of other factors which, duly transmuted, will no
longer prove subversive of and detrimental to anything sensibly
transcendentalist.
72. But one can deliver from sensuality a Church people, a
Christian people, a people who are primarily bureaucratic-theocratic, as in the
case of Irish Catholics, and only secondarily, if on religious grounds,
autocratic-democratic, as in the case of Irish Protestants. This people and other such peoples can
certainly be saved from sensuality to sensibility, as from crime and sin to
punishment and grace, and it is for them to decide for themselves whether or
not to endorse the concept of religious sovereignty and, in the event of a
paradoxical election, vote accordingly, abandoning both primary bureaucracy and
secondary autocracy and/or democracy for the prospect of 'Kingdom Come', in
which the Church will exist on a Social Transcendentalist basis led by an
enhanced, or freer, theocracy truly reflective of metaphysical sensibility to
an ultimate degree.
73. For
if bureaucracy is sinful, then theocracy is its graceful redemption, as things
proceed from weakness and humility (if not humiliation following the exposure
of weakness) to truth and joy, Woman and Purgatory to God and Heaven, water to
air, the world of the 'general bad' to the otherworld, so to speak, of the
'particular good', the objective Many to the subjective One.
74. Likewise
the subversions of theocracy from autocratic and democratic points of view can be
delivered from ugliness and hatred to beauty and love, as from the Devil and
Hell to the Antidevil and Antihell,
the netherworld of the primary 'particular bad' to the otherworld of the
secondary 'particular good', whilst its democratic counterpart can be delivered
from ignorance and pain to knowledge and pleasure, as from Antiman
and the Anti-earth to Man and the Earth, the world of the secondary 'general
bad' to the otherworld of the primary 'general good', albeit a good that, duly
transmuted, defers to the 'particular good' of truth and joy, God and Heaven.
75. In
general terms, it could be argued that the deliverance from bureaucracy to
theocracy is equivalent to a leap from massive mass to spaced space, as from
sin to grace, whereas the deliverance from the autocratic subversion of
theocracy to an anti-autocratic deference to theocracy is from spatial space to
a repetitive time deferential to spaced space, and the deliverance from the
democratic subversion of theocracy to a pseudo-democratic deference to
theocracy is from massed mass to voluminous volume, neither of the latter being
quite axial progressions but simply transmutations of basically autocratic and
democratic positions in relation to religion.
