CYCLE SEVENTY-THREE

1. That which is phenomenally objective can also be phenomenally subjective, and vice versa. Whereas that which is noumenally objective can only be noumenally objective, and that which is noumenally subjective only be noumenally subjective. Men and women are both objective and subjective (though not usually at the same time), whereas the Devil can only be objective and God, by contrast, subjective. Hence the distinction between the relativity of the phenomenal and the absolutism of the noumenal.

2. Like man and woman, the earth is both objective and subjective or, rather, it is objective in the alpha context of being Earth and subjective in the omega context of being the World - a distinction, as it were, between science and religion, or nature and nurture, or the Cursed Whore and the Blessed Virgin. A heliotropic nature on the one hand, and a subterranean molten core on the other hand, corresponding, in sexual terms, to the flesh and to the womb - the former sensual and the latter maternal. For just as the earth finds its salvation in the World, so woman finds her salvation in pregnancy, achieving a plenum to replace the vacuum which had sought expression through the flesh, and thereby progressing from the objectivity of nature to the subjectivity of nurture.

3. Such a progression can also be discerned in relation to the moon, which is a comparatively masculine context, albeit one having juvenile correlations on account of its relationship to the earth as a dependent body. If the moon per se is objective in its materiality, then the religious extrapolation from the moon, viz. purgatory, is subjective in its intellectuality, enabling us to distinguish brain from mind on the basis of a lunar/purgatorial dichotomy. Thus if the moon finds its salvation, as it were, in purgatory, so man finds his salvation in intellectuality, the intellectuality of the mind as opposed to the materialism of the brain, thereby passing from Antichrist to Christ, as he departs the objective for the subjective.

4. There is about Christianity per se the ring of a juvenile religion, given its correlation with the purgatorial realm of the intellect, and hence the Word. Not for nothing does one of the best-known and most influential Christian organizations go by the name of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), and it is debatable whether any hard-line Christian has ever been other than juvenile in his puritanical stance before life. Even Christ was essentially juvenile in his refusal to marry and become a father. For as soon as one parts company with the purgatorial realm of the intellect for the diabolical realm of the soul, or emotions, as one does by falling in love with a woman, one effectively ceases to be a Christian. One becomes, instead, a Fundamentalist or Superpagan bent on dominating the woman to sexual ends. Such a devil can have no truck with Christ even if he kids himself, for the sake of ethnic or moral convenience, that he is still Christian. A Christian, however, does not fall in love, marry, and have children. He remains a juvenile at heart or, rather, in principle - dedicated to a puritanical respect for the Word, as revealed through the Holy Bible.

5. Existentialism is the objective counterpart of Christianity, a philosophy of the brain as opposed to a theology of the mind, which reduces everything, in due Antichristic fashion, to materialism. That Sartre, the most famous Existentialist, was ethnically a Protestant ... is neither surprising nor coincidental, since the philosophy of materialism is such that only a Protestant, and a failed or fallen one at that, would countenance it in the first place! There is nothing even particularly Marxist about Existentialism, which is a thoroughly bourgeois philosophy in its reduction of life to material existence - the sort of reduction which, whilst it may have some applicability to objects, has little or no applicability to human beings, least of all live ones! For human beings are not objects but sentient creatures who experience life, and where there is life there is no existence (except of course in the bourgeois realm of a lunar materialism). My chair exists, but I live. Were I to exist, I would be no different from my chair. I would simply be an object, devoid of life, and hence subjectivity. Such a fate is arguably worse than death.

6. Yet there is a correlation, it has to be said, between Existentialism and Marxism ... to the extent that both philosophies pander to objectivity, the former, as we have seen, in material terms, the latter rather more naturally, and hence soulfully, so that one passes, as it were, from the lunar realm of Antichrist to the solar realm of Satan, which burns in a noumenal objectivity that imposes upon the World (of the working class) from its own diabolic Hell of anti-bourgeois sentiment, the sort of sentiment which the Antifather (for that is assuredly what the Satanic Devil amounts to) must needs feel towards the Antichrist for having enslaved the worldly proletariat to material ends, including, ironically, Existentialism and other such patently bourgeois philosophies. Sartre may have attempted to 'suck-up' to Marxism, but it is unlikely that all that many Marxists would have wanted to 'suck-up' to Existentialism. On the contrary, a materialist view of mankind is precisely what Marxists oppose ... in their struggle to liberate the proletariat from bourgeois fetters. Realism is the only view which appeals to them, even when this view is advanced through the distorting lens of a dictatorial naturalism and accordingly dominated by power considerations deriving from Lenin.
