CYCLE SEVENTY-FOUR

1. The common man is, by definition, a social animal whose life revolves around others and only has meaning in relation to others. Therefore it cannot be said of this social animal that it has a self, or inner life, since it is only conscious of itself through others and tends, in consequence, to a phenomenal view of the self. Such a view is commensurate with realism, and thus with the World.

2. Since the World is not an ideal context but a real one, and is subject, moreover, to the demands and constraints of both materialism and naturalism, it falls short of the sort of spiritual perfection which is commensurate with true idealism, and thus the heavenly Beyond. It can never stand as the goal of evolutionary striving, but merely as a precondition of that goal which will only be attained to when the World is democratically overcome and the People accordingly leap from socialism to transcendentalism. Such a leap would not be possible without a Second Coming, and it cannot take place where there is no will to idealism. A people too deeply 'bogged down' in socialism would be unable to make that leap, as would a people who were too dominated by capitalism and/or communism, viz. materialism and naturalism. Only when one is in the World but not of it can one leap, democratically, to the Beyond ... of the Social Transcendentalist Centre, wherein the idealism of religious sovereignty would be the prevailing norm.

3. Now because the prevailing norm would be the idealism of religious sovereignty, the realism of political sovereignty, the materialism of economic sovereignty, and the naturalism of judicial sovereignty will all have to be consigned to the 'rubbish heap of history' or, more specifically, absorbed into and transmuted by the Party and/or Movement of the Second Coming as, taking 'sins of the World' upon itself, it bears them in a Christ-like sacrifice which will permit the People to achieve true liberation in and through the spirit, thereby becoming divine.
