26. Therefore the context of phenomenal
sensuality presents us with an overall church-hegemonic distinction between the
primacy of Antiman the Antifather and Anti-earth the Unholy Soul in relation to
antihumanism, and the secondariness of the Daughter of Woman and the Clear Soul
of Purgatory in relation to nonconformism, but with an overall
state-subordinate distinction between the primacy of the Antison of Antiman and
the Unholy Spirit of Anti-earth in relation to antinaturalism, and the
secondariness of Woman the Mother and Purgatory the Clear Spirit in relation to
realism.
27. Where the distinction in metaphysics
between free psyche and bound soma is concerned, we have to distinguish not
only between transcendentalism and idealism but ... the free ego and soul of
the one and the bound will and spirit of the other, as between God the Father
and Heaven the Holy Soul in respect of transcendentalism, and the Son of God
and the Holy Spirit of Heaven in respect of idealism, the former pairing
commensurate with church-hegemonic criteria on primary terms, the latter
pairing with state-subordinate criteria on such terms.
28. Likewise, where the distinction in
antimetachemistry between free psyche and bound soma is concerned, we have to
distinguish not only between antifundamentalism and antimaterialism but ... the
free ego and soul of the one and the bound will and spirit of the other, as
between the Antidaughter of the Antidevil and the Unclear Soul of Antihell in
respect of antifundamentalism, and Antidevil the Antimother and Antihell the
Unclear Spirit in respect of antimaterialism, the former pairing commensurate
with church-hegemonic criteria on secondary terms, the latter pairing with
state-subordinate criteria on such terms.
29. Therefore the context of noumenal
sensibility presents us with an overall church-hegemonic distinction between
the primacy of God the Father and Heaven the Holy Soul in relation to
transcendentalism, and the secondariness of the Antidaughter of the Antidevil and
the Unclear Soul of Antihell in relation to antifundamentalism, but with an
overall state-subordinate distinction between the primacy of the Son of God and
the Holy Spirit of Heaven in relation to idealism, and the secondariness of
Antidevil the Antimother and Antihell the Unclear Spirit in relation to
antimaterialism.
30. Frankly, the above sequence of
aphorisms speaks for itself; but for anyone who hasn't understood me properly,
let me say that in neither male context does the concept 'Son of ...' have
anything to do with church criteria, whether hegemonic or subordinate, but
solely with the State, where, as described, the Son of Man corresponds to the
physical, and hence secondary, mode of state-subordinate criteria, while the
Son of God corresponds to the metaphysical, and hence primary, mode of
state-subordinate criteria, their respective church counterparts being Man the
Father on secondary subordinate terms and God the Father on primary hegemonic
terms.
31. That, I think, should suffice to
illustrate the religious dubiousness - quite apart from the pitfalls of linear
idolatry - of a term like 'Son of ...', not least in relation to physics, where
even the free psyche of Man the Father is reduced, via the antichemical
subversion of physics at the behest of an unequivocally hegemonic metachemical
soma, to a secondary mode of church-subordinate criteria in what has been
described as humanism, and is, in any case, a poor substitute for anything
genuinely religious and, hence, transcendentalist, as primarily concerned, in
church-hegemonic primacy, with metaphysically free psyche, and thus the
redemption - or resurrection - of God the Father in Heaven the Holy Soul via
the Son of God and the Holy Spirit of Heaven, whether in the Cosmos, nature,
mankind, or, to anticipate the future, in Cyborgkind, where even transcendental
meditation would have to have been synthetically overhauled on terms that were
not merely penultimate but ultimate and therefore arguably commensurate with
transcendentalism per se, as germane to the most evolved manifestation of
universality there is or could ever be, a manifestation surpassing its least,
less (compared to least), and more (compared to most) evolved manifestations in
the Cosmos, nature, and mankind, and thereby bringing genuine religion to its
evolutionary culmination in the most supreme being of ultimate Heaven the Holy
Soul.
32. Since I have already distinguished
between the salvation and counter-damnation of the diagonally ascending axis in
respect of church-hegemonic and state-subordinate criteria, it now behoves me
to distinguish between the morality of the one, whether in relation to bound or
to free psyche, and what should be called the pseudo-immorality of the other,
whether in relation to free or to bound soma; for insofar as this axis cannot
be entirely characterized by psyche it is not entirely moral but a combination,
in different ways, of both morality and immorality, the light and the dark,
whether on 'anti' or 'pro' terms.
33. Therefore we may distinguish between
the primary vicious morality of sin in relation to antiphysical bound psyche
and the secondary vicious morality of pseudo-crime in relation to chemical
bound psyche, contrasting each of these with the primary virtuous morality of
grace in relation to metaphysical free psyche and the secondary virtuous
morality of pseudo-punishment in relation to antimetachemical free psyche, each
of which constitutes salvation from anti-blessedness to pro-blessedness, as
from Antiman the Antifather and Anti-earth the Unholy Soul to God the Father
and Heaven the Holy Soul in respect of antihumanism to transcendentalism in
primary church-hegemonic terms, and from the Daughter of Woman and the Clear
Soul of Purgatory to the Antidaughter of the Antidevil and the Unclear Soul of
Antihell in respect of nonconformism to antifundamentalism in secondary
church-hegemonic terms.
34. Likewise we should distinguish
between the primary vicious pseudo-immorality of folly in relation to
antiphysical free soma and the secondary vicious pseudo-immorality of
pseudo-evil in relation to chemical free soma, contrasting each of these with
the primary virtuous pseudo-immorality of wisdom in relation to metaphysical
bound soma and the secondary virtuous pseudo-immorality of pseudo-goodness in
relation to antimetachemical bound soma, each of which constitutes
counter-damnation from pro-cursedness to anti-cursedness of a 'pseudo' order,
as from the Antison of Antiman and the Unholy Spirit of Anti-earth to the Son
of God and the Holy Spirit of Heaven in respect of antinaturalism to idealism
in primary state-subordinate terms, and from Woman the Mother and Purgatory the
Clear Spirit to Antidevil the Antimother and Antihell the Unclear Spirit in
respect of realism to antimaterialism in secondary state-subordinate terms.
35. Since I have already distinguished
between the damnation and counter-salvation of the diagonally descending axis
in respect of state-hegemonic and church-subordinate criteria, it now behoves
me to distinguish between the immorality of the one, whether in relation to
free or to bound soma, and what should be called the pseudo-morality of the
other, whether in relation to bound or to free psyche; for insofar as this axis
cannot be entirely characterized by soma it is not entirely immoral but a
combination, in different ways, of both immorality and morality, the dark and
the light, whether on 'pro' or 'anti' terms.
36. Therefore we may distinguish between
the primary vicious immorality of evil in relation to metachemical free soma
and the secondary vicious immorality of pseudo-folly in relation to
antimetaphysical free soma, contrasting each of these with the primary virtuous
immorality of good in relation to antichemical bound soma and the
secondary virtuous immorality of pseudo-wisdom in relation to physical bound
soma, each of which constitutes damnation from pro-cursedness to
anti-cursedness, as from Devil the Mother and Hell the Clear Spirit to
Antiwoman the Antimother and Antipurgatory the Unclear Spirit in respect of materialism
to antirealism in primary state-hegemonic terms, and from the Antison of
Antigod and the Unholy Spirit of Antiheaven to the Son of Man and the Holy
Spirit of Earth in respect of anti-idealism to naturalism in secondary
state-hegemonic terms.
37. Likewise we should distinguish
between the primary vicious pseudo-morality of crime in relation to
metachemical bound psyche and the secondary vicious pseudo-morality of
pseudo-sin in relation to antimetaphysical bound psyche, contrasting each
of these with the primary virtuous pseudo-morality of punishment in relation to
antichemical free psyche and the secondary virtuous pseudo-morality of
pseudo-grace in relation to physical free psyche, each of which constitutes
counter-salvation from anti-blessedness to pro-blessedness of a 'pseudo' order,
as from the Daughter of the Devil and the Clear Soul of Hell to the Daughter of
Woman and the Unclear Soul of Antipurgatory in respect of fundamentalism to
antinonconformism in primary church-subordinate terms, and from Antigod the
Antifather and Antiheaven the Unholy Soul to Man the Father and Earth the Holy
Soul in respect of antitranscendentalism to humanism in secondary
church-subordinate terms.
38. Granted that the diagonally ascending
axis is church hegemonic, it is primarily concerned with and committed to the
salvation of selves from bound to free psyche, as from vicious to virtuous
morality, anti-blessedness to pro-blessedness, anti-peace to pro-peace, but to
the extent that it is state subordinate it is also concerned with and committed
to the counter-damnation of not-selves from free to bound soma, as from vicious
to virtuous pseudo-immorality, the 'pseudo' modes of pro-cursedness or pro-war
to their anti-cursed or anti-war counterparts - morality and pseudo-immorality
proceeding apace in church and state.
39. Granted that the diagonally
descending axis is state hegemonic, it is primarily concerned with and
committed to the damnation of not-selves from free to bound soma, as from
vicious to virtuous immorality, pro-cursedness to anti-cursedness, pro-war to
anti-war, but to the extent that it is church subordinate it is also concerned
with and committed to the counter-salvation of selves from bound to free
psyche, as from vicious to virtuous pseudo-morality, the 'pseudo' modes of
anti-blessedness or anti-peace to their pro-blessed or pro-peace counterparts -
immorality and pseudo-morality proceeding apace in state and church.
40. So much for logic,
and what it tells us about church and state in diametrically opposite types of
society! We can no more limit the diagonally ascending axis to morality
than the diagonally descending axis to immorality. What we can do is to
acknowledge that whereas morality will take precedence over immorality in
church-hegemonic and state-subordinate societies, immorality will take
precedence over morality in state-hegemonic and church-subordinate societies,
and in such fashion that it is as impossible for a society characterized by
church-hegemonic criteria not to be pseudo-immoral as for one characterized by
state-hegemonic criteria not to be pseudo-moral.
41. Hence the moral disposition of the
Roman Catholic Church in relation to the diagonally ascending axis upon which,
as in Eire, church-hegemonic criteria operate, must ever be contrasted with the
pseudo-moral dispositions of the Protestant churches - Anglican to Puritan - in
relation to the diagonally descending axis upon which, in typically British
vein, church-subordinate criteria operate in consequence of a state-hegemonic
integrity which makes, in free and bound soma, for immoral dispositions in both
monarchy and parliament that should be contrasted with the pseudo-immoral
disposition of a state which, like that of the Irish Republic, is subordinate
to the R. C. Church.
42. Of course, even the Irish State is
less subordinate, these days, to the R.C. Church than formerly, but that is
partly because the People are more exposed than ever before to the sorts of
freely somatic temptations and exploitations which emanate, by and large, from
metachemically free states like the United States of America and even, to a
lesser extent, from Great Britain, whose commitment to somatic immorality
ensures that many Irish people will be less somatically free on primary or
secondary, according to gender, state-subordinate terms than on
quasi-state-hegemonic terms to the extent that they defer to or idolatrously
worship such false gods as are all the time raining down or being inflicted
upon them from metachemical and antimetaphysical heights of state-hegemonic
immorality existing abroad which they are virtually powerless to resist or
reject, and all because they, like virtually everyone else, are caught-up in a
global culture of sensually-based synthetic artificiality which has effectively
left their religious and even political traditions severely in the lurch and is
now dragging them along in the turbulent wake of its somatically free
onslaught, so that they toss and turn in the vacuous gulf that has opened up
between state-hegemonic freedom in countries which, like America and Britain,
have the power to impose upon them, and their own state-subordinate freedom
which is less subordinately associated with church-hegemonic criteria than was
formerly the case, and not only because of metachemical and/or antimetaphysical
temptation!
43. One must also remember that
democratic republicanism is also responsible, in some degree, for the extension
of somatic freedom at the expense of psychic binding, not least to the extent
that the People are divided between contending parties and rendered less
homogeneous or culturally or ethnically united than before, even with an alien
political and religious system to historically contend with and the absence,
all along, of an indigenous Catholic monarchy such that, as in certain European
countries, would have contributed to a closer binding of the People or, more
correctly, laity to papal guidance than was ever possible to the Irish people,
riven by internal disunity even before the Anglo-Norman invasion and partial
conquest of Ireland under a Catholic monarch set about uniting the indigenous
people against English rule, a process that was accelerated with the
Reformation and subsequent anti-Catholic measures set in motion by Henry VIII,
and which continued through the Cromwellian persecution of even Anglicans down
to the historically more recent struggles against British rule and the Easter
Rising of 1916, from which partial Irish independence in the form of the
26-county Free State eventually emerged.
44. Today, of course, Eire is a republic,
but a titular republic within the 26-county boundaries, and one that, born out
of the Easter Rebellion and subsequent War of Independence and Civil War,
exists in a sort of limbo between past and future, medieval servitude and full
republican independence, without the medieval benefit of a homogeneous Catholic
flock vis-à-vis both monarchy and papacy, but rather fated to endure a
heterogeneous liberalism within democratic pluralism that not only renders the
masses, as 'People' rather than 'laity', less susceptible to papal guidance
from a strictly Catholic point of view but correspondingly more susceptible to
being misguided by apostles of free enterprise and effectively ruled, under
pretence of leadership, by powers hostile to the spirit of genuine religion and
anxious to enslave them to the scientific audacities and antireligious
sentiments so characteristic of both metachemical and antimetaphysical
impositions from the likes of state-hegemonic countries like Britain and
America.
45. Catholic in ethnicity, the People are
nevertheless torn asunder from any possibility of Christian homogeneity by the
competing vanities which prey upon them and, with the aid of democratic
pluralism, keep them divided and confused, theoretically committed to a
church-hegemonic situation as laity but, in practice, exposed on an ever-more
ruthless commercial basis to the immoral antics and products of state-hegemonic
societies whose false god is free somatic enterprise, and from whose merciless
predations there is seemingly no escape.
46. Christianity is, frankly, dead and
finished; for whatever appearances to the contrary might suggest the brute
reality of the situation is that only secular and heathenistic values are able
to prevail and to deceive the People as to their true interests. Ireland
never did have an indigenous Catholic monarchy that would have kept the masses,
as laity, united in allegiance to Rome, Celtic Christianity having been largely
tribal and parochial, and when they did eventually unite as the Irish nation it
was largely against the British foe and oppressor, the Protestant alien
criteria which had tried to wipe out both the Catholic Irish and Catholicism
(just as Roman Catholicism had formerly set about stamping out Celtic
Christianity, under Anglo-Norman auspices, from the tribal Irish), but only
succeeded in uniting the Irish people against Britain.
47. But Irish people united against
Britain soon became disunited at home, not only in respect of Northern Ireland,
which has seen what may be called native Irish struggling with Irish of British
descent in a Catholic/Protestant antagonism, but more specifically to Eire in
respect of democratic republicanism and the pluralistic state-of-affairs which
emerged out of the independence struggles and now exists as the political norm
for a people who, overwhelmingly Catholic, still pledge official allegiance to
Rome.
48. But, of course, the Papacy and
republican democracy are quite incompatible, as incompatible as medieval
Christendom, in which papacy and Catholic monarchy worked together, when and
where possible, for the common good of the Christian flock, and post-modern
barbarism or, perhaps I should say, globalism, in which democracy is the
precondition for commercial exploitation of the proletariat by such somatically
free powers as have the means to seduce them from the bound-psychic orientation
of traditional church-hegemonic criteria to the free-somatic orientation of
contemporary state-hegemonic criteria, and thus to the consumerist acceptance
of secular values and to the idolatrous worship of a plethora of 'stars', from
film and music to sports and fashion.
49. In such a paradoxical predicament the
proletariat are ruthlessly exploited by the wolf-like predators that are able
to prey upon them all the more efficaciously in consequence of their disunity
under democratic pluralism and want of flock-like homogeneity as a Christian
or, better, Catholic people, and a people, moreover, who can always rely on the
right sort of spiritual guidance from monarch and pope, something which, though
still theoretically possible from the standpoint of ecclesiastic authority, is
rendered all but impossible to adhere to for any practical length of time in
view of the sort of political system under which they live, which not only
keeps them divided and confused but all the more vulnerable to the predatory
exploitations of the apostles of secular freedom and consumerism, thereby
invalidating their religious hopes by exposing the limitations of traditional
religion to do anything much for them at all.
50. Thus the People become all the more
fatalistically resigned to the secular status quo, and in no position to reject
it either for a return to Christian values - a much misused phrase which is
here intended to imply a Catholic homogeneity of purpose under the guidance not
only of a pope but of a Catholic monarch (something, as we have seen, which was
never particularly characteristic of Ireland in any case) who would preclude
the sorts of political divisions which cause flocks to break up and no longer
be susceptible to the guidance of an overall shepherd - or for an advancement
to some superior religious orientation such that would reunite the masses under
a common faith and lead them to higher pastures, if I may be permitted an
additional agricultural metaphor, from which they would be safe, for ever more,
from the predatory exploitations of those who, in metachemical and/or
antimetaphysical freedom, would rip them off and simply use them to their own
somatic advantage, becoming increasingly rich and famous, not to say powerful
and glorious, at their financial and moral expense.
