CYCLE EIGHTY-THREE
1. The time of the heart (pulse) as against the
space of the lungs (breath) where strength and truth are concerned, but the
volume of the brain (cells) as against the mass of the body (flesh) where
goodness and beauty are concerned.
2. The time of Hell as against the space of
Heaven where the Devil and God are concerned, but the volume of Purgatory as
against the mass of the World where man and woman are concerned.
3. To contrast the time of poetry with the space
of philosophy where noumenal absolutism is concerned,
but to contrast the volume of literature with the mass of drama where
phenomenal relativity is concerned.
4. The time of the Father contrasts absolutely
with the space of the Holy Ghost, whereas the volume of the Son contrasts
relatively with the mass of the Mother, who is One with the World (as the Holy
Will thereof) where the Father is One with Hell (as the Holy Soul thereof), the
Son being One with Purgatory (as the Holy Mind thereof), and the Holy Ghost
being One with Heaven (as the Holy Spirit thereof).
5. To contrast the time of communist naturalism
with the space of fascist idealism, the former scientific and the latter
religious, but to contrast the volume of liberal materialism with the mass of
republican realism, the former economic and the latter political.
6. Those who are rooted in the Devil, and hence
time, are against God.
Those who are centred in God, and hence space, have no truck with the
Devil. The former are damned, the latter
saved.
7. To be saved from
volume to space, as from Christ to the Holy Ghost, literature to
philosophy. To be
damned from time to mass, as from the Father to the Mother, poetry to drama.
8. To rise from
purgatory to Heaven, as from man to God, intellect to spirit. To fall from Hell to the
world, as from the Devil to woman, soul to sensuality.
9. To rise from love to
joy, as from goodness to truth, ethics to metaphysics. To fall from pride to
pleasure, as from strength to beauty, eugenics to aesthetics.
10. To rise from
economics to religion, as from capitalism to transcendentalism, materialism to
idealism. To fall from
science to politics, as from criminal law to republicanism, naturalism to
realism.
11. To rise from water to
air, like steam. To fall from fire to
earth, like sparks.
12. To rise from neutrons
to photons, like books (as from softbacks to
CD-ROMs). To fall from protons to
electrons, like films (as from cinema to television).
13. To rise from the Son
of Man to God, like Christ. To fall from
the Father of Devil to woman, like Satan.
14. To be saved from the World by Christ is not to
be in Heaven but in Purgatory, awaiting the definitive salvation of the Holy
Ghost through the Second Coming, and thus the spiritual peace that surpasses
all intellectual understanding.
