1. To take corporatism, totalitarianism, and
ecclesiastical law and subordinate them to transcendentalism, thereby creating
a divine society in which religion takes precedence over economics, politics,
and law. Such a society could only be
Social Transcendentalist, and it would establish the '
2. If their names are
anything to judge by, there would seem to be a connection not only between
Sunday and the Sun, but also between Saturday and Saturn. Yet whilst a semantic connection would seem
to exist between the names of these two days and the aforementioned 'Heavenly
Bodies', the actual spirit of each day is contrary to its name. For example, Saturday is anything but
Saturn-like in its extrovert character but more sun-like, whereas Sunday is
less a day (exceptions notwithstanding) of pagan deference to the Sun than one
of rest, a day, traditionally, with an introvert character appropriate to a
more religious tone. Thus it is Sunday
which is more Saturn-like and Saturday, by contrast, which resembles the raging
inferno of the Sun in its shameless extroversion. And yet, how significant this is of the
British tendency to divinize the diabolic and to diabolize the divine, to make
a God out of Sunday and a Devil out of Saturday, elevating the former to a day
of rest and reducing or relegating the latter to a day of zest! Is it not the same in social terms - that
royals, who effectively correspond to the Sun, are regarded and treated as if
they were Gods, whereas truly religious people, whose spirituality places them
subjectively closer to Saturn, are criminalized and regarded as being 'beyond
the pale' of what is considered decent and acceptable? A more paradoxical and morally subversive
situation couldn't be imagined, and it sadly reflects the extent to which
British and, by extrapolation, American society protects itself from a
Christian rebirth, or transvaluation, by hyping the
diabolic to a divine standing and rubbishing the divine to a diabolic one! In such hypocritical fashion it makes a vice
out of Saturn and a virtue out of the Sun, with the Devil being implicitly
associated with Saturday and God more explicitly associated with Sunday. Can this travesty of moral justice continue
indefinitely? No, obviously not, since
only moral correctness has a right to Eternal Life.
3. Even now there are signs of positive change
with regard to Sunday becoming less a day of rest and more subject to
commercial and sporting activities than in the past. Were Saturday to become correspondingly less
commercial and sports-orientated, we would have grounds for optimism with
regard to the likelihood of Saturday becoming a day of
rest and Sunday, by contrast, one of zestful living, in keeping with their
respective names. Then it would be
possible to treat Saturday with the divine deference its name deserves and to
relegate Sunday to an inferior status by dint of its diabolical connotations -
at least in theory. For, in practice,
one has to doubt whether a people grown hip to Saturn would in fact be capable
of any sort of diabolic deference to the Sun on Sunday, and therefore whether
the name 'Sunday' would continue to be morally acceptable in a divinely aware
society. My hunch is that it wouldn't
be, in which case an alternative name - Airday? -
would have to be devised such that made no reference whatsoever to the
Sun. For once people become spiritually,
and thus morally, aware, there is no way they could continue to divinize the
diabolic or to diabolize the divine.
Such a liberal paradox would cease to be possible. Wisdom would have put paid to ignorance.
