A JOURNEY BEYOND MYTHS

The abstraction of theological fictions from cosmic facts, signifying a distinction between subconscious subjectivity and cosmic objectivity, is paralleled, with the eventual emergence of an antithetical stage of evolution, by the abstraction of cosmic illusions from theological truths, signifying a distinction between cosmic subjectivity and superconscious objectivity. Whereas the outer world dictates to the inner one in the former case, it is the inner world that dictates to the outer one in the latter case, so that, instead of being the victim of cosmic facts, the inner world, in the antithetical guise of the superconscious, reinterprets the cosmos and its workings thereof according to transcendental requirement, replacing the Newtonian fact with the Einsteinian illusion, the literal with the metaphorical, force and mass with curved space.

Whereas the subconscious looked up, as it were, to the factual cosmos, the superconscious looks down on it from its truth-oriented vantage point. The fictional subconscious was partial to Devils and Demons, Hells and Purgatories, Fathers and Creators, not to mention, from an egocentric angle, Christs and Sons, Holy Ghosts and Heavens. By contrast, the truthful superconscious is only partial to the truth of its own awareness in peaceful being. The factual cosmos was a comparatively simple affair of stars and planets, moons and comets. The illusory cosmos, however, is an exceedingly complex affair of curved space and multiple universes, black holes and worm holes, infinitely complex atoms and infinitely small quarks, unaccountable movements and scarcely-credible transformations. Now it is the Cosmos that is magical and the inner world, by contrast, which holds no surprises - quite the contrary to what was formerly the case! Divested of its mysticism, the subconscious has become secularized and only fit for the psychoanalytical investigations of guilt-leaden neuroses. It is the external cosmos that has acquired a mysticism, in accordance with the superficial requirements of a decadent age.

Ah, but such mysticism won't last! What began in a factual cosmos will end in a truthful psyche. People will cease to take an interest in the mystical universe and, instead, turn to the truth of their superconscious worlds - absolutist in their aspirations towards divine truth.
