CYCLE THIRTY-NINE
1. To contrast the Space
of the forebrain, both elemental and molecular, with the Heaven of the superconscious, both molecular and elemental.
2. Thus to contrast the Outer Space of the
elemental forebrain and the Inner Space of the molecular forebrain with the
Outer Heaven of the molecular superconscious and the
Inner Heaven of the elemental superconscious.
3. To contrast the Time
of the backbrain, both elemental and molecular, with
the Hell of the subconscious, both molecular and elemental.
4. Thus to contrast the Outer Time of the
elemental backbrain and the Inner Time of the
molecular backbrain with the Outer Hell of the
molecular subconscious and the Inner Hell of the elemental subconscious.
5. To contrast the
Volume of the right midbrain, both elemental and molecular, with the Purgatory
of the conscious, both molecular and elemental.
6. Thus to contrast the Outer Volume of the
elemental right-midbrain and the Inner Volume of the molecular right-midbrain
with the Outer Purgatory of the molecular conscious and the Inner Purgatory of
the elemental conscious.
7. To contrast the Mass
of the left midbrain, both elemental and molecular, with the World of the
unconscious, both molecular and elemental.
8. Thus to contrast the Outer Mass of the
elemental left-midbrain and the Inner Mass of the molecular left-midbrain with
the Outer World of the molecular unconscious and the Inner World of the
elemental unconscious.
9. Broadly, then, Space, Time, Volume, and Mass
are correlative with the objectivity, both noumenal
and phenomenal, of the old/new brain (in their fourfold physiological
subdivisions), while Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and the World are correlative
with the subjectivity, both phenomenal and noumenal,
of the old/new mind (in their fourfold psychological subdivisions).
10. Such a division, as between objectivity and
subjectivity, would place science and economics on the one side, that of the
physiologically objective, and politics and religion on the other side, that of
the psychologically subjective, confirming an alpha/omega antithesis between
the noumenal positions, and an
alpha-in-the-omega/omega-in-the-alpha antithesis between the phenomenal
positions.
11. Thus one could speak of the Outer Space (of
idealist science) and the Inner Heaven (of transcendentalist religion) as
constituting an alpha/omega antithesis within noumenal
culture, with the Inner Space (of corporate economics) and the Outer Heaven (of
totalitarian politics) constituting an alpha-in-the-omega/omega-in-the-alpha
antithesis within phenomenal culture.
12. Likewise, one could speak of the Outer Time
(of naturalist science) and the Inner Hell (of fundamentalist religion) as
constituting an alpha/omega antithesis within noumenal
barbarism, with the Inner Time (of communist economics) and the Outer Hell (of
authoritarian politics) constituting an alpha-in-the-omega/omega-in-the-alpha
antithesis within phenomenal barbarism.
13. Similarly, one could speak of the Outer Volume
(of materialist science) and the Inner Purgatory (of nonconformist religion) as
constituting an alpha/omega antithesis within noumenal
civilization, with the Inner Volume (of capitalist economics) and the Outer
Purgatory (of parliamentary politics) constituting an
alpha-in-the-omega/omega-in-the-alpha antithesis within phenomenal civilization.
14. Finally, one could speak of the Outer Mass (of
realist science) and the Inner World (of humanist religion) as constituting an
alpha/omega antithesis within noumenal nature, with
the Inner Mass (of socialist economics) and the Outer World (of republican
politics) constituting an alpha-in-the-omega/omega-in-the-alpha antithesis
within phenomenal nature.
