CYCLE SIXTY-TWO
1. When genuine, the artist is a creature of the
Clear Light of Space, the musician a creature of the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
2. When genuine, the dancer is a creature of the
Clear Heat of Time, the poet a creature of the Holy Soul of Hell.
3. When genuine, the potter is a creature of the
Clear Coldness of Volume, the writer a creature of the Holy Mind of Purgatory.
4. When genuine, the actor is a creature of the
Clear Darkness of Mass, the sculptor a creature of the Holy Will of the World.
5. The objectivity of
men is generally premised upon the penis, the subjectivity of women upon the
vagina.
6. God is the conscience of the Devil, and woman the conscience of man.
7. Regarded generically, man, or mankind, is of
the mundane World, and hence nature, so that we can speak of the naturalism of
man, in contrast to the antinaturalism of antiman, whose throne is in the purgatorial Overworld. However,
contrasted with the antinaturalism of antiman is the super-antinaturalism
of super-antiman, who appertains to the diabolic Behind,
and at the back of super-antiman is the divine Behind
of supra-antiman, whose supra-antinaturalism
corresponds to the Clear Light of Space.
Such a Clear Light is, of course, at the opposite extreme to the Holy
Spirit of Heaven, which is the omega goal of evolutionary striving, and if we
now proceed beyond man, rather than against or behind him, we shall find that
the supernature of superman transcends the World, and
hence nature, to stand as the next best, or last, thing to the supra-nature of
supra-man ... in the divine Beyond of universal self.
