CYCLE NINE
1. For every good
thinker, a bad one. For every Gnostic, a
Mystic - Aristotle vis-à-vis Plato, Hegel vis-à-vis Marx, Nietzsche vis-à-vis
Schopenhauer - as transcendentalism and idealism stake their respective claims
on the intellect, and the battle between spirit and light continues apace.
2. The folly of philosophy vis-à-vis the wisdom
of theosophy, which is to say, the mysticism of the alpha vis-à-vis the gnosticism of the omega.
3. English civilization was eclipsed by British
barbarism back in the seventeenth century, and the
result was the Empire upon which the sun never set - the glorious imperialistic
triumph of
4. Even now, when the glorious
5. Such will doubtless continue to be the case
until, through Divine Intervention, free Englishmen, Scotsmen,
and Welshmen step forth from the slavery of monarchic barbarism and declare
their independence in unequivocally republican terms.
6. Only when they are no longer subjects of a
reigning monarch ... will Englishmen, Scotsmen, and Welshmen cease to be first
and foremost British barbarians, but become, instead, free citizens of their
respective countries.
7. England, Scotland, and Wales will then be
able to join the community of free nations that, like Ireland, are entitled to salvation from the World on the basis of
religious sovereignty.
8. But before this can
happen, the British dragon must be democratically slain by a resurgent St
George, if freedom from barbarism is to become a lasting reality!
9. Hopefully,
10. Freedom from slavery is one thing; freedom
from sin quite another! Such a freedom
can only be guaranteed on the basis of identity, through the Second Coming,
with the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
11. There are besides 'freedoms from', what might
be called 'freedoms of', such as the freedom of the Rich and Powerful to
exploit the Poor and Weak in their own immoral interests, or the freedom of
Nonconformists to trample the Established Church underfoot.
12. Such 'freedoms of' are really manifestations
of enslavement to materialist and/or nonconformist and naturalist and/or
fundamentalist powers by those who, for whatever reasons, identify with them,
to the People's detriment.
13. Hence the exploiters and tramplers
are themselves enslaved, although, unlike those whom they exploit or trample
upon, they take their enslavement for granted and paradoxically regard it as
freedom, much as cosmic-oriented Mystics will regard themselves as religious,
or consider as 'religion' that which, in reality, is really science.
14. One might say that the not-self has eclipsed
the self (in both its phenomenal and noumenal
manifestations) of the exploiters and bigots to such an extent ... that they
identify with the not-self (whether phenomenal or noumenal)
at the self's expense, thereby acquiring an illusion of freedom.
15. Such 'freedom', however, is a far-cry from the
genuine freedom of those who, while rejecting exploitation and bigotry, are
free from enslavement to the exploiters and bigots, but not yet free for the
binding to God (the Holy Spirit of Heaven) in the ultimate self.
16. Genuine freedom paves
the way for the true binding in God, which is voluntarily entered into, whereas
pseudo-freedom (the 'freedom of') is bound to the false binding of enslavement
to the Cosmos, which is deterministic.
