CYCLE SIXTY-NINE
1. We can now distinguish not only between
primary and secondary in relation to the old brain vis-à-vis the old mind and,
conversely, the new mind vis-à-vis the new brain, but also with regard to the
physical and psychical subdivisions of the overall brain/mind.
2. Hence whereas the forebrain, for example, is
primary in relation to the old brain and secondary in relation to the new
brain, the superconscious is secondary in relation to
the old mind and primary in relation to the new mind.
3. Likewise, the backbrain,
while primary in relation to the old brain, is secondary in relation to the new
brain, whereas the subconscious, though secondary in relation to the old mind,
is primary in relation to the new mind.
4. Such a paradoxical situation applies equally
to the phenomenal realms of the right midbrain/conscious on the one hand, and
of the left midbrain/unconscious on the other hand.
5. Hence whereas the right midbrain, for
example, is primary in relation to the old brain and secondary in relation to
the new brain, the conscious is secondary in relation to the old mind and
primary in relation to the new mind.
6. Likewise, the left midbrain, while primary in
relation to the old brain, is secondary in relation to the new brain, whereas
the unconscious, though secondary in relation to the old mind, is primary in
relation to the new mind.
7. We can also distinguish the primary nature
of, say, old-brain Time-Space in relation to the idealist idealism of absolute
Primal Being from the secondary nature of old-mind Time-Space in relation to
the idealist transcendentalism of the Clear Light of Space.
8. Conversely, we can distinguish the secondary
nature of, say, new-brain Space-Space in relation to the transcendentalist
idealism of absolute Supreme Being from the primary nature of new-mind
Space-Space in relation to the transcendentalist transcendentalism of the Holy
Spirit of Heaven.
9. The reason why
religion can so easily ape science and, conversely, science ape religion in
this primary/secondary fashion ... is that both are alike elemental and therefore
absolutist, whereas economics and politics, being molecular, are less likely to
ape either religion or science than to ape each other, in consequence of their
relativistic integrities.
10. Hence we can also distinguish the primary
nature of, say, old-brain Volume-Space in relation to the corporate corporatism
of molecular particle photons from the secondary nature of old-mind
Volume-Space in relation to the corporate totalitarianism of inner negative
culture.
11. Conversely, we can distinguish the secondary
nature of, say, new-brain Mass-Space in relation to the totalitarian
corporatism of molecular wavicle photons from the
primary nature of new-mind Mass-Space in relation to the totalitarian
totalitarianism of outer positive culture.
12. Such distinctions apply equally throughout all
four spectra of organized life ... from culture and barbarism to civilization
and nature, and indicate that wherever the primary condition is found ... the
secondary one exists as its shadow self, whether on elemental or molecular,
physical or psychical, negative or positive, particle or wavicle
terms.
13. The secondary
condition of the old mind is the angelic conscience of the primary condition of
the old brain, whereas the secondary condition of the new brain is the daemonic
id of the primary condition of the new mind.
14. Every Devil has its angel; every God its
daemon. The old-mind angel of the old
brain is its conscience, which constrains from excessive evil; the new-brain
daemon of the new mind is its id, which impels to greater good. The one is an inhibitive 'blessing', the
other an inspirational 'curse'.
