51. Thus
the real starting point of civilization conceived as the rejection and
refutation of devility and animality, of barbarity and philistinism, of cosmic
polyversality and mundane impersonality, is human personality and the
development of humanity towards divinity in enhanced civility and culture,
towards that universality which follows from the relative triumph of nurture
over nature in logic and the possibility of a more absolutist approach to and
realization of such a triumph as its beatific outcome.
52. For
Man is not and cannot be made the end of evolutionary progress! Nothing is more guaranteed to revolt the
superior human being, the godly male, than the doctrine that Man is and must
remain the measure of all things, and that all things must accordingly bow to
Man, as to the ego of psychic physics!
53. Certainly
this is desirable in relation to what precedes Man as the epitome of
humanity, namely worship of and subjection to either Nature or the Cosmos. But as regards what succeeds him, what
stands above him as the absolutely logical outcome of evolutionary
progress, nothing could be more undesirable, from the standpoint of Truth, than
that Man should strive to block, in his egocentric obsession with knowledge,
the path to godliness and hold back the development of culture and civility to
their full extents - something, alas, which the chief representatives of Man as
a purely humanitarian phenomenon committed, through vegetative physics, to the
world seem hell bent on doing, not least by invoking the assistance of Woman as
an intermediary between the Devil and themselves!
54. But
the man who is foolish enough to give Woman an inch soon discovers that she has
taken herself a mile closer to the Devil and to all that is most inimical to
the progress of God, not least in terms of the Devil passing Herself or being
passed off as God and thereby precluding any possibility of genuine godliness
through that universality which, far from being an aspect of or identical with
the Cosmos, is its complete antithesis, even unto the degree of a universal
rejection of the tragic pluralism of cosmic polyversality.
55. No,
there are, it has to be said, men who are only too happy to resist the struggle
towards God and who will sell out to the Devil via Woman if it suits their
ungodly purposes to do so, granting the generality of women access to their
traditional preserves in exchange for the right to exploit what is most
superficially and criminally female in the netherworldly heights of cosmic
polyversality!
56. Such
men, whom some would choose to regard as Man per se, are less than keen on the globalization of
civilization, of contemporary civilization; for they do not relate to the
synthetic artificiality of contemporary post-modern civilization but, on the
contrary, to the non-synthetic artificiality, rooted in analytical duality, in
the dialectics of pluralism, of a civilization which some would regard as
Western and some as Christian and some as Liberal and some as bourgeois but
which, no matter how it is regarded, fights shy of globalization and its
promise of cultural universality.
57. For
such a universality, were it to come properly to pass, would eclipse them,
would invalidate, at a sweep, their pretensions to civility and culture in the
non-synthetic artificiality of the civilization which, no matter how decadent
or degenerate it may now be, still exists in the background or to the rear of
contemporary civilization as both its progenitor and, in some contexts, actual
master, manipulating what is most commercially expedient from a standpoint that
nonetheless lays claim to the virtues and moralities of a bygone age, even in
respect of Christian values.
58. Without
the non-synthetic artificiality of Western civilization as a largely
Protestant-inspired secular and bourgeois manifestation of liberalism, there
would have been no contemporary civilization, no People's civilization as a
largely Socialist-inspired secular and proletarian manifestation of
totalitarianism, and therefore People's civilization is the outcome, in its
global ambitions, of what preceded it in the evolutionary development of
Western civilization from a standpoint opposing and contrary to its
devolutionary regression in Nature from the Cosmos and more Catholic, if not
heathen, traditions.
59. But
this evolution of the phenomenon Man in the face of Marian and Creatoresque
traditions, whilst it may have led Western civilization beyond both
non-synthetic and synthetic naturalism to a non-synthetic artificiality the
chief attribute of which is the human personality of the liberal individual as
he strives for economic betterment in a capitalistic world, was achieved at a
tremendously high price, namely the price of the sacrifice of soul to
egocentric knowledge and thus the rejection of that which, no matter how
imperfectly, still clung, if tangentially, to the older traditions rooted in
will and spirit, though especially spirit, as a goal and ideal towards which
the more devout of the faithful could aspire, no matter how paradoxically in a world
which falsely placed a premium on spirit and, hence, on spirituality as the actual
ideal of religion, making the rejection of will by spirit more important than
the injection of ego by soul.
60. Such
a rejection of will by spirit took the religious form of the rejection of time
by mass, but the injection of ego by soul, of volume by space, did not
transpire to anything like the same extent in view of the monistic importance
attaching to spirituality in Western religious tradition, making devolutionary regression
from the alpha-most of noumena of more significance than evolutionary
progression towards the omega-most of noumena, so that mass took precedence not
only over time but effectively, if not officially, over volume and space as
well, becoming the effective ne plus ultra of devotional commitment.
61. Yet
the evolutionary development of volume in the face of mass and its rejection of
time did not lead to space, at least not sensibly, but rather to a false
progress in which the sensual manifestations of, first, volume and, then,
space, volume perceived volumetrically and space perceived spatially, became,
under Protestant-inspired secular fatalities, the principal characteristics of
Western civilization in its modern, or bourgeois liberal, manifestation, with a
corresponding religious degeneration from the sensibilities of time and mass in
relation to the New Testament to the sensualities of volume and space in
relation to the Old Testament, not least when the American offshoot of the
civilization in question is taken into account and the relation of volume to
space is reversed in favour of space and a sort of Jehovahesque hegemony in
cosmic primacy supersedes in importance the mundane primacy to which
Nonconformism subscribes in its feminine association with volume conceived or,
rather, perceived (from an empirically objective standpoint) volumetrically.
62. Be
that as it may, the development of contemporary civilization out of the
degeneration into devolutionary regression of Western civilization in its
liberal bourgeois secularity inevitably led to a rejection of space and volume
in favour of time and mass, albeit not in the traditional Catholic or Medieval
terms of sensibility, but as a sensual extrapolation from bourgeois precedent
and, in some sense, a male revolt against what in the sensual manifestations of
space and volume could only be described as a civilization characterized by
female hegemonies, in Anglo-American fashion.
63. This
male revolt led, in the clash of Communism and Fascism, to world war and the
struggle for a New Order, whether global or European in character, and duly
resulted in the rejuvenation and restoration of the West under American
domination, with the achievement, one could say, of a People's liberalism
through corporate capitalism, which has since taken globalization one stage
further than either the Communists or the Nazis would have envisaged, a stage
beyond both science and politics into economics and the so-called global
economy of post-modern contemporary civilization.
64. But
such a civilization is not and never was completely independent of Western
civilization, neither in its traditional Catholic nor Protestant, medieval nor
liberal, manifestations, and both synthetic naturalism and non-synthetic
artificiality persist to the rear, as it were, of the synthetic artificiality
of contemporary civilization, often in roles which suggest dominance rather
than subservience, not least of all in the arts, where all modes of
non-synthetic artificiality, from orchestrally-oriented classical music and
painterly canvas art to figure sculpture and theatrical and book production
play anything but modest roles in the cultural life of the age, no matter how
irrelevant or even abhorrent such phenomena may be to a pop- or film-loving
exemplar of what is truly contemporary in a civilization which, in its
synthetic artificiality, is anything but bourgeois but, rather, based around
the urban proletariat as the type par excellence of that 'humanity' which, in its global
aspirations and potential for cultural universality, for what transcends mere
personality, is nearer to God than is Man, being in effect the nearest thing to
divinity which currently exists on the planet, eastern meditators
notwithstanding!
65. But then Eastern civilization is no less distinct from
global civilization than Western civilization and cannot be accorded
preferential respect as though, in a choice between the two, the Eastern, in
whatever of its various permutations, was the one to adopt. Global civilization transcends, and must
necessarily continue to transcend, both Eastern and Western civilizations, as
the urban proletariat transcend the bourgeoisie and aristocracy, not to mention
peasantry and priesthood, of those societies which, in their rural foundations,
fall short of a properly urban dimension and global aspiration.
66. But
People's civilization, much as it may exist in both the West and the East, and
even under the control, in varying degrees, of civilizations which fight shy of
synthetic artificiality and still cling to their bourgeois or other roots, has
not emerged into contemporary globalization on the male hegemonic terms that
its initial developments or developers may have envisaged for it but, since the
victory in World War II of the Western powers, whether or not synthetically
artificial, over the Axis powers and the subsequent collapse of Communism in
Eastern Europe following the end of the so-called Cold War, rather under female
hegemonies of both space and volume, sequential time under spatial space in the
noumenal context of space/time, and massive mass under volumetric volume in the
phenomenal context of volume/mass, with the sort of triangular consequences
which have been described often enough in my works in the past not to warrant
further exegesis here; though a reminder as to the desirability, primarily from
a male standpoint, of a democratically-achieved salvation from their sensual
integrities to the sensibilities of the non-triangular structures previously
identified by me with 'Kingdom Come' ... may not be without further merit at
this point.
67. However,
while globalization has indeed materialized at the partial expense of both
Western and Eastern traditions, it was not achieved without the sacrifice,
under Western pressures, of male freedom or, at any rate an aspiration towards
male freedom, to female freedom, of psyche to soma, mind to matter, and the
consequent eclipse of ideology by consumerism, whether with a materialist slant
in the noumenal 'above' or with a realist slant in the phenomenal 'below',
neither of which can be anything but dominatingly hegemonic over both idealism
and naturalism, whatever adherents of the latter may like to think.
68. For
if anything characterizes liberalism, whether bourgeois or people's, non-synthetically
artificial or synthetically artificial, traditional or contemporary, it is the
fact of its domination by female elements and consequent incompatibility with
that psychic freedom which the Church, when genuine, is pledged to uphold to
the greater advantage of form and contentment, ego and soul, knowledge and
truth (joy).
69. Therefore
democracy, as an expression of political pluralism, of ideological relativity,
within a liberal framework, a framework, incidentally, by no means commensurate
with a political per se but effectively
a 'bovaryization' of politics from the standpoint of an economic hegemony,
reveals itself as the enemy of religion and opponent of evolutionary progress
towards a more virtuous, not to say moral, society.
70. Democracy
sees itself, in typically empirical vein, as an end in itself, not as a means
to a higher or better end, but rather as the guarantor of a society in which
Man is the measure of all things and all things must bow to his criteria. Not, however, as in the Christian past, in
relation to Christ, or the godly hype of Man and effective subversion of true
godliness which, besides being metaphysical, appertains to the Father rather
than to the Son, to psyche rather than to soma, but with naturalistic reference
to a secular present in which, to all intents and purposes, female criteria are
hegemonic on both realistic and materialistic terms over a largely somatic
perception of Man.
71. Thus
is humanity compromised by both animality and devility, and no progress towards
divinity is seriously envisaged, such aspirations being regarded as irrelevant
to the world and to the protection of worldly interests, and therefore as
something to reject from a standpoint rooted in consumerism.
72. If,
in the Christian past, humanity had some aspiration, no matter how
paradoxically under the animalistic or, more correctly, anti-animalistic
reality of spiritual hype, towards divinity, nowadays no such aspiration can be
attributed to a humanity or, better, antihumanity not merely acquiescent in
but, in the interests of economic enrichment, besotted by animality and
devility, as by political and scientific relativity, to the effective exclusion
of religion.
73. Obviously
this is anything but a satisfactory situation!
For contemporary civilization, notwithstanding the parts still played by
traditional civilization, has now attained to a concern, under economics, with
vocational advancement and differentiation which, as the pluralistic essence of
liberalism, has replaced what used, in more openly totalitarian contexts, to be
concerns with either race or class, neither of which have much to commend them
to a post-fascist and post-communist society characterized by a liberal
pluralism in respect, primarily, to vocation and the arrogation of science and
politics to its economic ends.
74. For
vocation is in some sense as important to a People's antihumanity characterized
by liberal pluralism as race was to a People's devility characterized by
fascist totalitarianism and class to a People's animality characterized by
communist totalitarianism, neither of which could be taken all that seriously
in a society which is post-ideological in its pluralistic concern with
consumerism in the enterprise culture of the free market, a market not dependent
on race or class but upon vocation, the basis of the ever-burgeoning plethora
of artificial products.
75. Obviously
there are still racial and class distinctions to be found in the world, but
they are not characteristic of contemporary civilization as an expression of
the synthetic artificiality of an urban proletariat. Rather, they are a legacy of Western and
Eastern civilizations, both of which still play a controlling, if not
dominating, role in the conduct of contemporary society which, for all its
proletarian emphasis, is still subject to the bourgeoisie and other, even
older, classes whose lifestyles or products are less synthetically artificial
than non-synthetically artificial and even, in pre-bourgeois terms,
synthetically or non-synthetically naturalistic.
76. Be
that as it may, People's civilization in its liberal mode is, without doubt,
not a class- or even race-based civilization, but a vocational civilization
that esteems career above everything else and makes a virtue out of 'getting-on
in the world' and becoming ever more affluent and economically self-dependent,
even unto the extent of acquiring, one way or another, the prestigious status
of a millionaire, which is to the contemporary world what sainthood was to the
medieval one, and thus a confirmation of vocational success and, in some sense,
attainment of the goal that a society based around economics inevitably aspires
towards.
77. For money, as the lifeblood of economics, is the ideal of
this phase of People's civilization, and money, as we all know, 'speaks all
languages', thereby further facilitating that globalization which is the
touchstone of contemporary credibility.
78. But
money does not, of course, lead to the 'Kingdom of Heaven', to the 'kingdom
within', still less to 'Kingdom Come' as the politically-based framework in
which maximum encouragement can be granted to such a heavenly ideal, but is
more of an obstacle to such an end, putting the welfare of the egocentric self
above that of the psychocentric self, personality above universality, and even
allowing form to be eclipsed by both power and glory as a
superego-eccentrically fuelled concern with the not-self takes over, and
materialistic or realistic matters come to take on more importance than
anything idealistic or naturalistic, much less transcendentalist or humanist,
given that the male not-self is not and never could be an end in itself but
must always be subordinated to the female not-self which, in sensuality, the
context of liberal pluralism par excellence, is ever hegemonic.
79. For,
despite its claims to humanism and advocacy of human rights, of humane
treatment of children, animals, criminals, etc., liberal pluralism leads, soon
enough, to the dominance of humanity or, rather, antihumanity by devility and
animality, since a humane approach to animals and devils is a meaningless, not
to say contradictory, procedure which is bound to rebound on its perpetrator as
the devil or animal gets the upper hand from unconcern with any reciprocal
humanity.
80. No
devil or animal has been turned into a human through a humane approach, and few
males whose humanity it would, on grounds of sensibility, be difficult to call
into question would be of any avail in dealing with animals or devils as they
deserve and, in fact, as females more usually deal with them when free to be
'true' to themselves.
81. Clearly
humanity can only go so far in dealing with animality and devility; though deal
with them it assuredly must if it is not to be defeated and overrun by either,
and obviously on less than humane terms.
For 'humaneness' is something that works between equals in humanity, and
where such equality is lacking, there can be only the inhumane treatment of
unequals, which is to say, of animals and devils, or all who are characterized
by an evolutionary want of more wavicles/less particles in either more
particles/less wavicles or, worse again, most particles/least wavicles, and therefore
show themselves chemically or metachemically adrift of physics in relation to
the negativities of somatic freedoms which, far from adding up to anything
virtuous, fly in the face of virtue from criminally vicious standpoints in
weakness and ugliness.
82. Obviously,
a humanity which is sensibly respectful of itself does not take kid gloves to
animals and devils but treats them as they deserve, whether with effect to
controlling them or, in the cases of persons who are simply environmentally or
socially backward, reforming and improving them, so that they are saved from
their effectively pre- and/or sub-human backgrounds and admitted to the
ever-growing community of humans who really are humane to one another,
and thus of humanity in the higher sense.
83. But
vocational humanity is not, in its sensual antihumanity, of the essence of
global civilization, of that synthetically artificial civilization which has
been identified with the People and deemed truly contemporary, any more than
the class animality of socialism or the race devility of fascism was or ever
could be, since any aspiration towards globalization implies a monistic respect
for airy universality and thus for metaphysical universality, which can only
properly emerge on the basis of ethnicity, and with respect not to humanity
primarily, but to divinity, the order of evolutionary progress which is
commensurate with universality as an expression of a religious ideal, as the
religious ideal par excellence, in
which there is only one God because there could only ever really be one God
that is true and, in truth, germane to universality, not two, three, four, or
more gods the majority of which were manifestly less than properly divine
because other than sensibly metaphysical!
84. No,
the one true God the Father is sensibly metaphysical in respect of the ego that
embraces, through transcendental meditation, the will to breathe of the Son of
God in the lungs and identifies with the out-breath of the Holy Spirit of
Heaven until it must recoil, in self-preservation, to self more profoundly and
thereby achieve the redemption of metaphysical ego in Heaven the Holy Soul, the
joyful justification of truth, the latter of which is ever of God the Father
and thus not an end in itself but that which utilizes the means, in
metaphysical not-self, to a soulful end in beatific joy.
85. Therefore
globalization only comes 'good', only achieves its true perfection on the basis
of divinity, of a divinity which transcends, though does not entirely exclude,
humanity, animality, and devility or, more correctly, humanity, anti-animality
and antidevility, granted that sensibility has the effect of turning the female
elements around so that they express, in paradoxical psychic emphasis, not the
Mother but the Antidaughter, not free soma but free psyche, and therefore not
the Devil in metachemistry or Woman in chemistry but the Antidevil and the
Antiwoman respectively, with a greater emphasis, in free psyche, on the
constrained will and spirit of bound soma than would otherwise be the case.
86. For
whereas free will has the effect, in sensuality, of 'freaking out' soul in
terms of the id and free spirit of 'freaking out' ego in terms of the superego,
in sensibility, by contrast, free will is 'reined in' by ego in terms of
natwill and free spirit 'reined in' by soul in terms of subspirit, becoming
bound to the prevailing psychic freedom which only stems from a male hegemony
in which heat and light hold dominion over force and motion, primarily in terms
of physics and metaphysics, secondarily in terms of chemistry and
metachemistry.
87. But
in metaphysical sensibility heat is not, falsely, a sort of end in itself, as
with humanity, the personality of whose vegetative pluralism necessarily falls
short of the universality of airy monism, but is conceived as requiring to be
redeemed in and by the light ... of the soul, as the brain stem of the ego-self
is eclipsed by the spinal cord of the soul-self following the recoil of ego
from the threat to selfhood posed by the out-breath of the not-self which has
issued, in subspiritual vein, from the subwill of the lungs, metaphysical
motion from metaphysical force, neither of which have anything to do with free
will and free spirit, least of all in their female per se, or primary,
manifestations, but are the bound orders of 'thrice-bovaryized' will and
'twice-bovaryized' spirit, fourth-rate will and third-rate spirit, which
constitute a sort of secondary godliness and heavenliness, in metaphysical
not-self, to the primary orders of God and Heaven which obtain in the
metaphysical self and only in the metaphysical self, that combination of
second-rate ego and first-rate soul, a 'once-bovaryized' ego and the per se order of soul, in the brain stem and
spinal cord of what could be called the upper-class, or noumenal, male of
metaphysical sensibility.
88. Therefore
divinity not only transcends humanity, as the soul transcends the ego, or God
transcends Man, but it constitutes, in the sublime essence of its monistic
transcendentalism, what is truly universal and capable of sustaining
globalization on a genuinely universal basis, the only basis upon which it
ultimately can be sustained, given the incompatibility of human
personality with such an essential outcome, the product not of vegetation but
of air.
89. For
any male who meditates transcendentally is God the Father, and this one true
God can only be sustained on the basis of commerce, through transcendental
meditation, with the universal element, viz. the air, which, transmuted into
breath, becomes the spiritual means for the redemption of ego in soul via the
relevant order of will we have identified, correctly and definitively, with the
Son of God, with what supersedes, in metaphysical not-self, the metaphysical
self, and is accordingly secondary to a prime mover, viz. God the Father, as
bound soma is secondary to free psyche.
90. Yet
this is so only of males, and especially of those males who, being divine in
their noumenal absolutism, their capacity not only for time-space subjectivity
but the transcendence of sequential time in spaced space, are capable of
meditation and accordingly metaphysical, characterized by most wavicles/least
particles, and therefore by a predilection for the soul at the expense not only
of the spirit but, more particularly, of the will, which is also controlled by
the ego, though to a lesser extent, we have argued, than 'down below' in the
masculine male context, notably physics, of voluminous volume, where ego is the
most prevalent factor, as befitting phenomenal relativity.
91. Ultimately,
true globalization presupposes universality, but universality can only be
sustained on the basis of a uniform ethnicity, call it Social
Transcendentalist, or Centrist, which acknowledges the significance of the
metaphysical element, the air, in respect of universality and does so
completely independently of that false, and traditional, identification with
and subsuming of the concept 'universal' into the so-called Universe, meaning
the Cosmos, as that which, in reality, is anything but universal but, rather,
polyversal in the fiery pluralism of its starry appearances, and thus at the
farthest environmental remove from divine oneness or the possibility of true
essence, being the basis, in stellar primacy, not of metaphysical free psyche
but of metachemical free soma, as primarily in respect to an element which
corresponds to most particles/least wavicles and is therefore anything but
divine. It is, in short, the seat of the
Devil, of that which is germane to original crime and accordingly the fount of
free will.
92. Such
a reality, which I have tended in the past to call Devil the Mother, is
fundamentally female, not male, and it is what characterizes all that is
contrary to the precedence of soma by psyche, exemplifying, in sensuality, the
precedence of psyche by soma and thus of wavicles by particles, of mind by
matter, of light by force, of the Daughter by the Mother, of evil by crime, of
immorality by vice.
93. Thus
from the metachemical setting of the 'freaking out' of light by force, of soul
by will, which is called the id or unconscious soul, life proceeds, in
phenomenal devolutionary vein, to the chemical setting of the 'freaking out' of
heat by motion, of ego by spirit, which is called the superego or
superconscious ego, and from there it requires a revolutionary transvaluation
of values and rejection of free will and spirit somatically hegemonic over
bound psyche, to achieve the 'reining in' of force by heat (not light!), of
will by ego, in natwill or natural will, and the 'reining in' of motion by
light (not heat!), of spirit by soul, in subspirit or subnatural spirit, for
ego and soul to be free and psychically hegemonic over bound soma, thereby
passing from the dark to the light, as from matter to mind, crime and/or sin to
grace and/or punishment, devility and/or animality to humanity and/or divinity,
unnature and/or supernature to conscious and/or subconscious, as the emphasis
switches from free soma to free psyche, as from fire and/or water to vegetation
and/or air, fact and/or illusion to fiction and/or truth.
94. However,
those who are too antihumanistic (I nearly said humanistic!), too given to
liberal pluralism, will be unlikely to opt for centrist monism, as for the
prospect of universality in a globalization which owes more to ethnicity than
to vocation, more to air than to vegetation, more to divinity than to humanity,
more to truth than to knowledge, more to God than to Man, more to essence than
to quality, and in which contentment justly counts for more than form.
95. There
is even about humanity, never mind the more sensual and secular antihumanity
which smacks of antison (Antichrist), a paradoxical fatality to be attracted
towards devility, in that both have a connection, albeit on different terms,
with force, humanity in terms of the controlling of force from a standpoint
based in heat, devility in terms of the controlling of light from a standpoint
based in force, the extolling of heat, viz. ego, by the one contrasting with
the extolling of force, viz. will, by the other.
96. Contrariwise,
there is about animality, never mind the more sensible and ecclesiastic
anti-animality which may be accorded a Marian status, a paradoxical fatality to
be attracted towards divinity in that both have a connection, albeit on different
terms, with motion, animality in terms of the controlling of heat from a
standpoint based in motion, divinity in terms of the controlling of motion from
a standpoint based in light, the extolling of motion, viz. spirit, by the one
contrasting with the extolling of light, viz. soul, by the other.
97. Therefore
while physical humanity exalts in ego, it does so with a certain sympathy
towards will which, in metachemical devility, is free to exalt in itself at the
expense, primarily (though not exclusively) of soul.
98. Contrariwise,
while metaphysical divinity exalts in soul, it does so with a certain sympathy
towards spirit which, in chemical animality, is free to exalt in itself at the
expense, primarily (though not exclusively) of ego.
99. There
is, then, a connection with force that is common, in diametrically antithetical
ways, to physics and metachemistry, humanity and devility, whilst a connection
with motion is common, in diametrically antithetical ways, to metaphysics and
chemistry, divinity and animality.
100. Devility
thrives on free will and bound soul, while humanity thrives on free ego and
bound will. But the will, whether free
or bound, is common to both. By
contrast, divinity thrives on free soul and bound spirit, while animality thrives
on free spirit and bound ego. But the
spirit, whether bound or free, is common to both.
