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.
