CYCLE
THIRTEEN
1. To distinguish polytechnics/technical colleges
from universities on the basis of a planar/lunar division, with the former
broadly catering to working-class students and the latter to their middle-class
counterparts.
2. Likewise, to distinguish between academies
and seminaries on the basis of a solar/stellar division, with the former having
an upper-class connotation and the latter a classless one, as befitting the
study of religion.
3. Hence where polytechnics/technical colleges
are basically of the (mundane) World, universities are of the (purgatorial) Overworld, academies of the (diabolic) Behind, and
seminaries of the (divine) Beyond - at least in their bearing on Christian
teachings.
4. The naturalistic and
scientific nature of academies contrasts, as Devil to God, with the idealistic
and religious nature of seminaries.
5. The realistic and economic nature of
polytechnics/technical colleges contrasts, as woman to man, with the
materialistic and political nature of universities.
6. The doing nature of
academies; the taking nature of universities; the giving nature of technical
colleges; and the being nature of seminaries - soul, intellect, will, and
spirit.
7. An open society may, in its liberalism, have
academies, universities, technical colleges, and seminaries, but a closed
society that was orientated towards the Divine would build from technical
colleges to seminaries ... of a transcendent order (super-seminaries), doing
everything in its power to phase-out and/or scale-down universities and
(especially) academies. For where God
is, there can be no place for the Devil/man (to do/take), neither in learning
nor anything else.
8. A classless society is not established on the
basis of giving everybody an equal opportunity to 'better himself' in no matter
what context, but solely on the basis of phasing-out upper-class, middle-class,
and, ultimately, working-class alternatives to properly classless
criteria. For
classlessness is specifically religious and divine, and that which is neither
religious nor divine, in the true spiritual sense, is an obstacle to the
development of a classless society.
Hence the equalitarian permissiveness of contemporary Liberals is simply
a subversion of classlessness which, willy-nilly, perpetuates the class-bound
status quo.
9. What interests God, the Second Coming, is not
whether a working-class person is free to go to university and savour
traditional middle-class privileges, but whether, in spurning such freedoms,
the working class are in a position whereby they can be saved from their own
status to the transcendent divinity of the classless Beyond. Difficult as this may be when one is
literally working class, it would be next-to-impossible for those who had
abandoned the World for the lunar and/or solar regions of universities and
academies above. For even working-class
people who are too deeply into the World (including that of technical colleges)
cannot be saved to the classless Beyond.
