51. Well, much as a return to medieval
Catholicism would be out of the question for the masses, less laity than
'People', of a post-modern state like Eire, I have never ruled out the
possibility of advancement, via a paradoxical election in which religious
sovereignty was chiefly at issue, to some superior religious orientation which,
besides reuniting the scattered tribes of what is still fondly regarded as
Christendom under a common ideological cause, would be no-less synthetically
artificial than the secular liberties which currently rule a godless but far
from devil-less roost, and therefore alone capable of offering a viable
alternative to the secular idolatries which a majority of the People now take
for granted, never supposing that things could be so turned around as to leave
even the 'stars' of film and music severely in the lurch.
52. I, however, believe they can, and it
was to that end that I conceived of Social Theocracy, regarding it as
commensurate with a universal approach to religion that would leave both the
personal and impersonal, not to say cosmically polyversal, shortfalls or
alternatives to genuine religion which characterize the West, and even much of
the East, in its global wake, presuming upon its development beyond the confines
not only of Eire and, for that matter, the greater part of the British Isles
(as discussed in previous texts) but even continental Europe in the decades or
centuries to come.
53. For Social Theocracy is no mere
nationalistic religion, nor is it intended for the West at the expense of the
East, still less for the East at the expense of the West, but, conceived as
transcending both West and East alike in its synthetically artificial
universality, rather for the entire globe, being the solution not only to
West/East division but to both Western and Eastern divisions, as in the case of
Catholicism and Protestantism in the West, and Hinduism and Buddhism, not to
mention Judaism and Islam, in the East, as well as subdivisions of any and all
religions which are and have long been the cause of bitter controversies and
even rivalries.
54. Yet, ultimately, religion is the one
thing that unites people, even if different religions have caused strife
between peoples united in different ways and in respect of different deities or
ideals, which is a grave misfortune but, at the same time, historically
inevitable in view of the immense size of the planet and the different climates
and environments and topographical circumstances prevailing upon it, something
no people can be blamed for, even if some would claim that it was the handiwork
of God (as of the God they worship) and not simply of a variety of factors
which probably have less to do with anything metaphysically sensible - and
properly appertaining to godliness - than metachemically sensual, not to
mention antimetaphysically sensual, to name but the most cosmically prevalent
noumenal factors.
55. Be that as it may, the development of
synthetic artificiality overrides such differences from a standpoint that can
'fly in the face' of them and achieve a more uniform end, which is precisely
the sort of end the world requires if universal harmony and peace is to be
established, and established in the face of whatever opposition the Cosmos or
nature or even mankind may put in its way.
56. We have seen - and I have personally
argued - that democracy and theocracy are incompatible, and for that reason one
cannot imagine the world being united in a common faith and religious identity
while democracy prevails, even if its exploitation to a higher and more
genuinely theocratic end is absolutely crucial, if the People are to become
free not only of those who somatically exploit democratic disunity and division
but, no less significantly, of the old gods, as Nietzsche would say, and all
the traditional so-called world religions which still keep them apart and
unable, with the best will in the world, to join together in a common faith.
57. Democracy, it is true, has vitiated
and undermined many an old faith, even some that were almost true, but
democracy would be a blessing in disguise if it were to be paradoxically
exploited to a radically new theocratic end, superior in evolutionary and
religious terms to any of the existing theocracies or so-called theocracies
which leave so much to be desired even in relation to antimetachemistry, never
mind metaphysics.
58. For until the People of various - and
ultimately all - countries exploit their political freedom to a religious end,
they will stay disunited both politically and religiously, and in no position
to move on to a higher spiral of evolutionary progress in which there is only
the One God, God the Father, coupled to which the One Heaven, Heaven the Holy
Soul, and, for females, the One Antidevil, the Antidaughter of the Antidevil,
coupled to which the One Antihell, the Unclear Soul of Antihell, in what would
transpire to be a virtuous circle of noumenal sensibility in which metaphysics
and antimetachemistry were united in proclaiming their synthetically artificial
commitments to truth and joy in the grace of transcendentalism and to a
beautiful approach to truth and a loving approach to joy in the
pseudo-punishing grace of antifundamentalism, the former commensurate, for
males, with a primary manifestation of church-hegemonic criteria in relation to
Social Theocracy proper, the latter commensurate, for females, with a secondary
manifestation of church-hegemonic criteria in relation to Social Theocracy
improper or, more correctly, what could be called Social Anti-aristocracy, anti-aristocracy
being as psychically antifundamentalist as theocracy is psychically
transcendentalist, whilst, in state-subordinate vein, anti-autocracy would be
as somatically antimaterialist as technocracy was somatically idealist, the
latter of which would be the primary mode of state subordination in respect of
a technocratic support of what, with the synthetic artificiality of Social
Theocracy, would be the ultimate theocracy, psyche and soma holding together in
terms of transcendentalism/idealism in metaphysics and of
antifundamentalism/antimaterialism in antimetachemistry, the totality of
sensible factors adding up, as noted, to a virtuous circle in which the genders
are served according to their respective moral entitlements and ontological
dispositions, though always with the implication that a male hegemony in
metaphysics will encourage the antimetachemical female to emphasize psyche (in
respect of both the beautiful approach to truth and loving approach to joy) at
the expense of soma, and this contrary to her gender actuality of soma
preceding and predominating over psyche, which is why a commitment to grace of
a secondary church-hegemonic order can only be punishing to females, much as a
commitment to grace of a primary church-hegemonic order (in truth and joy)
would be well-nigh impossible to them and bad for transcendentalism, and hence
males, were their gender differential to be underestimated in a spirit of
worldly relativity.
59. But if even antifundamentalism is to
some extent bad for females, it is still preferable from a male standpoint that
females should be committed to antimetachemistry under their metaphysical
control than that they should be somatically free in metachemistry and able to
impose a like-somatic emphasis from a noumenally hegemonic standpoint upon
their male counterparts in antimetaphysics.
60. For whereas a civilization that
achieves truth and joy, coupled, for females, to a beautiful approach to truth
and a loving approach to joy, achieves everything there is to be achieved by
civilization, and is truly worthy of respect, one, by contrast, that is rooted
in ugliness and hatred, coupled, for males, to an illusory approach to ugliness
and a woeful approach to hatred, is more to be despised for its barbarism than
admired as a genuine manifestation of civilization, much as it may rule the
world and, having first intimidated its own people, strike fear into the souls
of all, thereby cowering others into submitting to its tyrannical will.
61. Such a barbarous civilization does
not and cannot inspire hope for a better future, but only fear and loathing for
its want of sensibility and moral insight, its heathenistic naiveté in respect
of somatic freedom and abject lack of a sensibly male resolve to put and keep
females in their proper place as moral subordinates who can never be allowed to
escape from the control of hegemonic males for fear that all hell will break
out and the worst come to the worst - something, in any case, which those who
now languish under the predatory dominion of somatically free nations should
have no illusions about! For they are suffering
the consequences of female hegemonic criteria, and thus of the most ruthless
exploitation to a somatic end as could be imagined.
62. Barbarous civilization manifestly
exists and is clearly hell-bent on dominating the entire globe, a fact that
makes it all the more imperative that those of us committed to civilized
culture should do our utmost to provide the People of as many countries as
possible with a viable alternative to the democratic morass in which they
remain bogged down, even if in some countries democracy is a
precondition of the ultimate theocracy, of the possibility of the most evolved manifestation
of God the Father/Heaven the Holy Soul, not to mention its antimetachemical
corollary in the Antidaughter of the Antidevil/the Unclear Soul of Antihell,
and thus the achievement, bit by bit, of universal culture in a truly global
religion, a religion that is destined to suffice for the entire planet, not
just for some peoples here and there but, ultimately, for everyone, in the
interests of universal peace and harmony, of concord between the peoples of
this planet and a gradual reduction of class/gender rivalry and friction
through a gradual elevation to the highest-common-denominator ... of noumenal
sensibility on both metaphysical and antimetachemical terms.
63. For even if one must initially also
accept the inevitability - barring genocidal opposition to persons of
Protestant descent - of a deferential mode of phenomenal sensibility, as of a
knowledge that defers to truth and a pleasure that defers to joy, together with
not merely a strong approach to knowledge or a proud approach to pleasure for
the antichemical complement to physical sensibility, but a strong approach to
knowledge which defers to the beautiful approach to truth and a proud approach
to pleasure which defers to the loving approach to joy, it should not be
forgotten that, eventually, even this, ever deferential to what exists above it
and never encouraged to be independent at the risk of either an undue mundane
lowness or axial subversion through a reinstatement of metachemical freedom,
must be transmuted upwards towards the metaphysical/antimetachemical heights,
so that what, through unavoidable moral necessity, was initially pluralistic
gradually becomes more uniformly totalitarian in respect of the highest
virtues, and thus ceases to embrace physical and antichemical shortfalls - no
longer properly humanist or antinonconformist - from such a
transcendentalist/antifundamentalist peak, the proper constituents of any
space-centred omega point eternally worthy of the name.
64. I spoke a moment ago of barbarous
civilization being something quite apart from the kind of civilized culture we
are endeavouring, through Social Theocracy, to both establish and advance;
though it should not be forgotten that the barbarism we are alluding to is
synthetically artificial and thus the superficially cyborg-like post-human
precondition of the kind of sensibly synthetic artificiality that has been
identified with culture of an ultimate metaphysical/antimetachemical
order.
65. Therefore to the extent that the
People can be prevailed upon to reject such barbarism, ever the fruit of
somatic licence, and turn instead towards enhanced self-respect through
religious sovereignty, they can be delivered from the democratic pit of worldly
profanity in which they are divided and misled, as also from those who,
exploiting the sensual manifestations of synthetic artificiality, prey upon
them in such fashion that they become virtually hypnotized and bewitched by
what their predatory exploiters have to offer and in no position to renounce
secular idolatry from a traditional Catholic or religious point of view.
66. For what claimed to represent God the
Father, Who is One and Indivisible, no longer has much authority over them when
they are patently not fashioned in His image, albeit from the antithetical
moral standpoint of psychic binding, but divisible and divided by the
democratic pluralism with which they identify, however much or little, as a
politically sovereign people, and therefore as a people who no longer - if ever
they did - exist in God's image but closer to that which stems from the Devil's
image, Devil the Mother being fundamentally Manifold and Divisible and
therefore the precondition of democracy to the extent that we identify the one
with the apex of the diagonally descending axis and the other with that which
stands in parliamentary opposition to it, without however being anything
remotely Social Democratic and thus determined, in Marxist fashion, to take
humanism to its proletarian nadir.
67. But neither the one nor the other
manifestation of what has been identified with a state-hegemonic society has
any bearing on the diagonally ascending axis of church-hegemonic criteria, and
therefore the existence of democratic pluralism in relation to that is somewhat
paradoxical and almost obliquely perverse, insofar as we would normally expect
to find a more homogeneous people at the foot of such an axis who, far from
being democratic, were subjects of a Catholic monarch who, with due deference
to the Papacy, did his utmost to keep them fashioned in the image of God the
Father as One and Indivisible.
68. The Irish people, as already noted,
did not have the good fortune, if I may put it that way, to be ruled by an
indigenous Catholic monarch in such fashion, and therefore the irrelevance -
not excepting from their standpoint that of English Catholic monarchs prior to
Henry VIII - of an Anglican monarchy ruling them via first English and later
British imperialism was the source of much grief and struggle, though not to
the extent that what subsequently resulted could be said to owe nothing to what
properly stems, in democratic pluralism, from such a monarchy when it is
identified, as I believe it should be, with Devil the Mother as the manifold
source of divisibility and hence parliamentary strife, in which all, whether
rich, poor, or intermediate, may claim representation without such
representation having the slightest shred of moral justification in view of the
moral unacceptability of distinctions in the People between rich and poor in
the first place, something that is only likely to open-up under the divisive
rule of somatic freedom.
69. That said, it should be evident that
the Irish people are not, under the lead of papal infallibility in respect of
God the Father at a Christian, or mankind-based New Testament, stage of
religious evolution, as suited to democracy as their British counterparts; for
whereas it is easy for a people who live under the rule of a certain
manifestation - whether cosmic or natural - of Devil the Mother to accept
parliamentary division, with its democratic pluralism, it must be far less easy
for a people who still live under the leadership of a specific manifestation of
God the Father to accept such a fate, though always depending on the extents to
which they are loyal to the Church or effectively indifferent if not hostile
towards it in what amounts to an age which is less than sympathetic to medieval
criteria but beholden to the twin influences of parliamentary democracy and
elected presidential autocracy, this latter having closer links to the American
spirit of somatically free enterprise than to the British spirit of somatically
bound enterprise where the alternative approaches - scientifically productive and
economically reproductive - to soma are concerned.
70. However that may be, I do not doubt
that the Irish people are not as keen on democracy as their British
counterparts, and that can only reflect creditably upon them, insofar as we
understand that a people fashioned in God's image can only be One and
Indivisible in spirit if not necessarily in body, in complete contrast to
whatever has been fashioned in the Devil's image to be somatically Manifold and
Divisible, ever torn by factional or sectarian strife, after the manner of the
various parliamentary parties and Protestant church denominations which are
their subordinate corollaries.
71. God wants One and Indivisible in His
psychic image, that the People (though this is scarcely the most appropriate
religious term) may be led the more efficaciously to the higher sensible realms
where, duly transmuted or transfigured, they will be safe from such predatory
exploiters as owe their somatically manifold and divisible existences more to
the likes of Devil the Mother than to anything godly, even when they are
closer, in antimetaphysical guise, to the Antison of Antigod than to anything
properly metachemical and ... somatically hegemonic.
72. Hence God the Father wants His people
to be delivered from anything that may have owed its origin, no matter how
obliquely or paradoxically, to Devil the Mother; for He knows only too well
that so long as those who are still capable of respecting godliness and/or
antidevilishness, by dint of some traditional manifestation of noumenal
sensibility still being extant, have not entirely sold-out to or been
ripped-off by noumenal sensuality within a much-put-upon mode of phenomenal
sensuality, there is still hope for them to change their fate and, in rejecting
whatever pertains to Devil the Mother, embrace God the Father anew, albeit
within the necessarily transmuted terms of a synthetic artificiality which will
be as far beyond anything traditionally religious as its secular counterpart is
now beyond whatever is traditionally scientific and closer, in consequence, not
only to mankind but to nature and even the Cosmos.
73. Thus we, too, speak from the
standpoint of life as cyborgization, though not on the alpha terms of
scientific post-modernity but on the omega terms of religious eternity, terms
that, though no less global, appertain to universality as opposed to
polyversality, having reference, through God the Father, to that which
culminates in Indivisible Oneness as the antithesis, in every respect, to
everything issuing, through Devil the Mother, in Divisible Manifoldness, and
which thereby divides the masses democratically rather than unites them
theocratically, divides them somatically rather than unites them psychically.
74. Democracy, I repeat, is the enemy of
People's unity as the image of God the Father; for it stems from the enemy of
God whose evil disposition, in manifold divisiveness, is the autocratic
precondition of People's disunity in parliamentary democracy. Republican
democracy in a so-called Catholic country like Eire may be the sugar on the
bitter pill of divisive extrapolation from Devil the Mother, but it is still
far from being sweet to the taste of God the Father who, in disdaining its
somatically divisive influence upon the People, would counsel them to
democratically reject it in favour of religious sovereignty ... that they may
be reunited not merely in the psychic image of God and, for females, the
Antidevil but, ultimately, as God and the Antidevil, and thus be saved from the
world of phenomenal sensuality to the otherworld of noumenal sensibility from
which they will be safe, for ever more, from the evil and pseudo-foolish antics
of the noumenally sensual, not to mention the good (modest) and pseudo-wise
deceptions of the phenomenally sensible, whose parliamentary and puritan
divisiveness was the paradoxical inspiration of their own latter-day undoings
as a people who if not exactly classically democratic may well be romantically
so, since historically driven to democracy out of desperation with British
imperialism and, because of their Catholic traditions, not as inveterately
democratic as their ethnic adversaries, for ever committed, in somatic vein, to
distinctions between rich and poor as opposed, in psychic vein, to indivisible
unity in faith.
75. Therefore because democracy is the
spawn of the Devil, of Devil the Mother (Who, in Old Testament vein, is hyped
as God), it should be rejected by those who still claim to respect Catholic
theocracy, as they would respect the Pope as the manifestation, on earth, of
God the Father for a mankind-stage of religious evolution, but not in order
that they may return, under a Catholic monarch, to medieval homogeneity of
faithful purpose, but, on the contrary, that they may be delivered from
democracy to a new theocracy which not only stretches beyond Catholicism in
respect of its advocacy of a sensibly radical level of synthetic artificiality
but would also, in its commitment to universality, tower above it in relation
to a degree of transcendentalism that would owe more to transcendental
meditation, and hence Eastern religious traditions, than to verbal absolution
for penitential contrition, thereby establishing truth on a higher and more
genuinely godly basis, one that could afford to be explicit and, indeed, had to be
explicit if all that still stands, antithetically, in the way of the ultimate
development of transcendentalism, coupled to antifundamentalism, is first to be
exposed as a lie and then, in the event of a majority mandate for religious
sovereignty in relation to a paradoxical election which I have tended to equate
with Judgement, utterly repudiated by the People and, as far as possible,
removed from society by the People's leaders and protectors with the approval
of the self-styled Second Coming, who is the advocate not merely of God the
Father/Heaven the Holy Soul but of the most evolved and therefore per se
manifestation of God the Father/Heaven the Holy Soul, not to mention the
Antidaughter of the Antidevil/the Unclear Soul of Antihell, and thus of that
which can only have its way at the expense of Devil the Mother/Hell the Clear
Spirit coupled, in subordinate vein, to the Antison of Antigod/the Unholy
Spirit of Antiheaven, not least in respect of their most devolved and therefore
per se manifestations in relation to somatic freedom of a cosmic nature.
