CYCLE FIFTY-ONE

1. The soul of the heart should not be confounded with or mistaken for the soul of the self (whether phenomenal or noumenal). The former is germane to a specific organ and theological realm (Hell), whereas the latter cannot be defined in relation to a specific organ, but is diffused throughout the self of which, in wavicle subjectivity, it is the experiential side.

2. Hence the Holy Soul of Hell, which I customarily identify with the Father, has nothing whatsoever to do with the soulful, or emotional, aspect of the self, but is germane to the heart.

3. Likewise the Holy Will of the World, which I customarily identify with the Mother, has nothing whatsoever to do with the willing, or selective, aspect of the self, but is germane to the womb and thus, by implication, to sex.

4. In fact, by comparison with the will of the womb, the will of the self is a sort of overwill or superwill which is diffused throughout the self of which, in particle objectivity, it is the willing aspect.

5. The soul of the self is likewise a sort of oversoul or supersoul in relation to the soul of the heart.

6. Speaking in general terms, it can be said that the noumenal self ranges from the eyes on the far right, as it were, of the cultural spectrum to the lungs on the far left via the forebrain on the right and the superconscious on the left, as from idealism and corporatism to totalitarianism and transcendentalism.

7. Likewise it can be said that the phenomenal self ranges from the flesh on the far right, as it were, of the natural spectrum to the womb, or reproductive organs, on the far left via the left midbrain on the right and the unconscious on the left, as from realism and socialism to republicanism and humanism.

8. Again, speaking in general terms, it can be said that the noumenal not-self ranges from the ears on the far right, as it were, of the barbarous spectrum to the heart on the far left via the backbrain on the right and the subconscious on the left, as from naturalism and communism to authoritarianism and fundamentalism.

9. Likewise it can be said that the phenomenal not-self ranges from the tongue on the far right, as it were, of the civilized spectrum to the brain (corpus callosum) on the far left via the right midbrain on the right and the conscious mind on the left, as from materialism and capitalism to parliamentarianism and nonconformism.

10. When we consider the self in relation to religion, then the lungs are the elemental focus of the noumenal self, while the womb (or reproductive organs generally) is the elemental focus of the phenomenal self.

11. Conversely, when we consider the not-self in relation to religion, then the heart is the elemental focus of the noumenal not-self, while the brain (corpus callosum) is the elemental focus of the phenomenal not-self.

12. Likewise when we consider the self in relation to politics, then the superconscious is the molecular focus of the noumenal self, while the unconscious is the molecular focus of the phenomenal self.

13. Conversely, when we consider the not-self in relation to politics, then the subconscious is the molecular focus of the noumenal not-self, while the conscious is the molecular focus of the phenomenal self.

14. Similarly, when we consider the self in relation to economics, then the forebrain is the molecular focus of the noumenal self, while the left midbrain is the molecular focus of the phenomenal self.

15. Conversely, when we consider the not-self in relation to economics, then the backbrain is the molecular focus of the noumenal not-self, while the right midbrain is the molecular focus of the phenomenal not-self.

16. Finally, when we consider the self in relation to science, then the eyes are the elemental focus of the noumenal self, while the flesh is the elemental focus of the phenomenal self.

17. Conversely, when we consider the not-self in relation to science, then the ears are the elemental focus of the noumenal not-self, while the tongue is the elemental focus of the phenomenal not-self.

18. Every self and not-self, whether phenomenal or noumenal, has both a will and a soul germane to itself - the objective and subjective aspects, respectively, of its atomic integrity.

19. I believe that the distinction I customarily make between the brain in relation to religion (specifically nonconformism) and the physiological subdivisions thereof in relation to economics is, despite the apparent contradiction, fundamentally correct, though the term 'brain' is, I fear, too general to do adequate justice to the religious correlation in question. Yet there, it seems to me, lies the dilemma, since it is rather that organ, or part of the brain, linking the two main cerebral hemispheres, viz. the old brain with the new brain (as defined by Koestler), which, in its liberal impartiality or even-handedness, so to speak, best serves to illustrate the paradox of intellectual transcendence - a necessarily bogus mode of transcendence from a spiritual standpoint. That organ is termed the corpus callosum, and it straddles the brain, and its subdivisions thereof, viz. backbrain, right midbrain, left midbrain, and forebrain, pretty much as the ego straddles the mind and its subdivisions thereof, viz. subconscious, conscious, unconscious, and superconscious.
