CYCLE ELEVEN
1. If religion contains both good and evil in
relation to itself, as I happen to believe, then it also contains both
salvation and damnation in relation to itself - whether absolutely (with regard
to the noumenal) or relatively (with regard to the
phenomenal).
2. Salvation for religious people is therefore
from the damnation of the Father (absolutely) and Christ (relatively) to either
the Mother (relatively) or the Holy Ghost (absolutely). Roman Catholicism offers the former, Social
Transcendentalism will, I believe, offer the latter.
3. Whereas Roman Catholics are relatively saved
(from the Son to the Mother), Social Transcendentalists will be absolutely
saved (from the Father to the Holy Ghost).
4. Nonconformists are relatively damned to the
Son of an overly purgatorial Overworld, whereas
Freemasons are absolutely damned to the Father of an overly fundamental
Netherworld, so to speak.
5. The Orange Lodges in Northern Ireland are a
manifestation of Masonic damnation (absolute) which tends back, in due process
of noumenally objective dominion, towards the
monarchic alpha ('King Billy'), and thus towards the Antifather
of an overly scientific naturalism (of which the Lambeg
Drum is a 'cultural' paradigm).
6. The nonconformist damnation (relative) tends
back, in due process of phenomenally objective dominion, towards the
parliamentary alpha (Cromwell), and thus to Antichristic
materialism (of which capitalism is the economic manifestation).
7. Although religion specifically contains its
own damnation and salvation (as we have seen), it is of course possible to
differentiate, more generally, between the 'salvation' of religion and the
'damnation' of science, to the extent that anyone rooted in science is
automatically 'beneath the pale' of religious salvation, and therefore fated to
remain cut-off from the possibility of divine deliverance due to the
objectivity of his scientific isolation.
8. The Second Coming
can only save those who, being religious, are in a position to be saved (from
the Father) through the Holy Spirit of Heaven, never those who are not even
relatively religious but relatively and/or absolutely scientific.
9. A religious people will cling to the
phenomenal subjectivity of the Mother pending the possibility of noumenal subjectivity through the Second Coming. A non-religious, or scientific, people will
reject such a subjectivity in the interests of their
objective bent, affirming an overly purgatorial and/or hellish religiosity in
response to their scientific promptings.
10. The Christ of
Catholicism always remains closer to the Mother, e.g. to the context of
phenomenal subjectivity; for only in the subjective is religion genuine,
whether relatively (as here) or absolutely ... in the Holy Spirit of Heaven to
come.
11. The Catholic Christ is effectively a Son of
the Mother, whereas the Protestant Christ is more literally a Son of the
Father, living, through His Father, the objectivity of purgatorial isolation
from the World.
12. Within the context of phenomenal religion it
follows that a relatively good religious people will affirm the Mother above
all else, whilst a relatively evil religious people (who are not genuinely
religious anyway) will affirm the Son above all else.
13. Likewise, within the context of noumenal religion it follows that an absolutely good
religious people (a truly religious people) will affirm the Holy Spirit of
Heaven above all else or, rather, instead of everything else, whilst an
absolutely evil religious people (who are not genuinely religious in any case)
will affirm the Father above all else and even, in really extreme cases,
instead of everything else.
14. Good religious peoples are saved (to
subjectivity), whether relatively or absolutely, whereas bad religious peoples
are damned (to objectivity), whether relatively or absolutely, according to the
predominance of either phenomenal or noumenal
factors.
