CYCLE SEVEN

1. The eyes (particularly the so-called 'Third Eye') of mystical philosophy vis-à-vis the lungs of gnostical theosophy.

2. The ears (necessarily large) of scientific psychology vis-à-vis the heart of religious theology.

3. The psychiatrist, or practising psychologist, listens intently to his client and endeavours to interpret his dreams, mental phobias, neuroses, etc., in the light of psychoanalysis.

4. Psychiatry is rooted in the backbrain, and extends towards the subconscious in due process of psychoanalysis.

5. Such an extension parallels, on the cultural plane, the threat to vampirism posed by sunlight.

6. The subconscious is home to religious archetypes of the sort favoured by theologians and all who are centred, if not rooted, in the Father, viz. the heart and its blood.

7. The correlation between the subconscious and the heart parallels, on the theological plane, that between the backbrain and the ears with regard to the plane of psychology.

8. One might argue, in crude terms, that the investigation and analysis of the subconscious by psychiatrists is akin to an attack by Satan upon the Father, and that the motive for such an attack is to defeat the subconscious and render it accountable to the backbrain.

9. Once tamed by psychiatry, the subconscious becomes the plaything of science; for the client has 'sold his soul' to the psychologist, and therefore ceased to be theologically independent.

10. It could be argued that most if not all psychiatric clients who pay to be psychoanalysed have a subconscious desire to be delivered from theology, and thus from their religious archetypes.

11. Even dream interpretation is a mode of theological deliverance which, seemingly, renders the dream contents accountable, via aural assimilation, to backbrain analysis.

12. Whether the 'soul' is Pagan or Christian, dream-based or theological, the result is its loss to psychology, and the growth and entrenchment of scientific values at religion's expense.

13. Such a loss of religion to science is the worst possible form of damnation, and contrasts with the salvation that would be offered by the Second Coming to those who elected to be saved from the soul to the spirit, thereby passing from the Father to the Holy Spirit of Heaven, as the subconscious was first neutralized and then transcended by the superconscious.

14. To neutralize the dream subconscious (unconscious) through recourse, in the superconscious, to hallucinogenic visionary experience such as vouchsafed by LSD, and to transcend the theological subconscious, or subconscious-proper, through transcendental meditation - such would be the stratagems by which the Second Coming sought to save the Faithful from both pagan and Christian modes of subconscious domination.

15. The correlation between the superconscious and the lungs parallels, on the theosophical plane, that between the forebrain and the eyes (including, more particularly, the so-called 'Third Eye') with regard to the plane of philosophy.

16. Just as the ears are rooted in the backbrain, so the subconscious is rooted in the heart, which directs its psychic activity.

17. And just as the eyes - though the 'Third Eye' in particular - are centred in the forebrain, so the superconscious is centred in the lungs, which are its true home.

18. This means that whereas the ears stem from the backbrain, the subconscious stems from the heart, which, as everyone knows, is the 'seat of the soul'.

19. Yet, with regard to the centred entities, it means that whereas the forebrain stems from the eyes, the lungs stem, by contrast, from the superconscious, or air.

20. That which is idealist and/or transcendentalist, like light and spirit respectively, is centred, whereas that which is naturalist and/or fundamentalist, like fire and soul respectively, is rooted.

21. I would contend that the development of the forebrain owed much if not everything to the eyes, as an objective vehicle for pulling it out of the backbrain.

22. Likewise I would argue that the development of the lungs owed much if not everything to the air, as a subjective vehicle for filling-out and ultimately transmuting the gills.

23. The light is never so centred in the forebrain than when the mystical 'Third Eye' of philosophical 'enlightenment' eclipses the optical eyes and brings its devotee to 'oneness' with, effectively, the central star of the Galaxy.

24. The backbrain may have created ears to enable it to liaise with the external environment, but it seems to me that the eyes were largely responsible for creating the forebrain.

25. That which is materialist and/or nonconformist, like ice and mind respectively, is rooted, whereas that which is realist and/or humanist, like earth and will respectively, is centred.

26. This is in confirmation of the fact that whereas the rooted spectra, viz. naturalist/fundamentalist and materialist/ nonconformist, are predominantly objective, the centred spectra, viz. idealist/transcendentalist and realist/humanist, are preponderantly subjective.

27. The rootedness of the materialist/nonconformist spectrum differs from that of the naturalist/fundamentalist one, as phenomenal relativity from noumenal absolutism.

28. Likewise, the centredness of the realist/humanist spectrum differs from that of the idealist/transcendentalist one, as phenomenal relativity from noumenal absolutism.
