MATERIALISTS
AND SPIRITUALISTS
The distinction between
materialists and spiritualists is an age-old reality which stems, in large
measure, from the fundamental dichotomy in the Galaxy between stars and
planets, the relatively antithetical constitutions of which give rise to a
magnetic reciprocity responsible for maintaining the orbital integrity of the
Galaxy as a whole - as, indeed, the entire universe of galaxies of which this
one is but an infinitesimal part. On the
microcosmic plane this same distinction is to be found in the relatively
antithetical constitutions of protons as negative charges and electrons as
positive charges - the former active and the latter passive, though galvanized
into action by the competing attractive powers of the nearest protons. On the human plane, the distinction between
active materialists and passive spiritualists has traditionally manifested
itself in the relatively antithetical constitution of women and men, the women
constraining the men to themselves, after the fashion of stars or protons, and
galvanizing them into action on their behalf, i.e. as fathers to their family,
the children of which resemble tiny protons, or neutrons, in that they revolve
around the mother much the way that a tiny extinct sun, such as the moon,
revolves around the earth. However, I
have elsewhere sought to demonstrate that as evolution progresses towards a
predominantly artificial phase, the atomic integrity of the traditional family
unit is gradually undermined until, with the dawn of post-dualistic
civilization ... following a sudden revolutionary break with tradition which
resembles the splitting of the atom, the electron equivalents are set free of
proton constraint and the former proton equivalents are themselves electronized, functioning, thenceforth, in the guise of quasi-electrons. The spiritualistic world predominates over
the materialistic one at that juncture in time by quite a considerable margin!
The aforementioned atomic distinction, however, between female
and male on the family plane may be equated with the human microcosm, whilst a
similar distinction between politicians and priests or scientists and artists
will pertain to the human macrocosm, i.e. to society as opposed to the family,
society itself coming to resemble a galaxy in that it is composed, on the independent
level, of numerous proton-dominated atoms and, on the dependent level, of
various professional interests and contributions, some of which resemble
protons, others electrons, but all of which are subject to evolutionary
pressures and may therefore undergo gender changes corresponding to the
transformation, on the microcosmic plane, from closed atomic families to open
post-atomic promiscuity.
Thus it can happen that a traditional proton profession, such as
politics when patterned after the galactic-world-order, will acquire a sex
change, so to speak, and become a quasi-electron opposing the proton political
order in the interests of evolutionary progress. Hence socialist politicians, although
nominally materialists, function in the guise of what may be called 'lesser
spiritualists' in opposition, in such a transitional age as this, to the
materialistic politicians per se, though on a lower level, needless to say, than
genuine spiritualists, including latter-day gurus. Likewise, in science, a sex change
corresponding to the progress of electron freedom over proton determinism
ensures that quasi-electron scientists, who function in the guise of 'lesser
spiritualists', oppose the materialism of traditional science in deference,
amongst other things, to the higher spirituality of avant-garde artists, who
are their spiritual peers. As
quasi-electrons, revolutionary politicians and scientists oppose proton
determinism and thus behave like spiritualists, which, however, they can never
be in an authentic or genuine sense, seeing that their professions are largely
governed by materialistic considerations.
And just so for so-called liberated women who, in this transitional age,
are by no means absolved from certain traditional female duties and
responsibilities! Only with the advent
of post-atomic civilization would the lifestyles of quasi-electron equivalents
be radically influenced by electron freedoms - a situation which today applies
neither to the bourgeois West nor to the proletarian East, the former being
insufficiently civilized and the latter not really civilized at all, despite
the considerable changes for the better which have come to pass since the
eclipse of Soviet Communism by Social Democracy. Consequently, in the East artists and priests
have traditionally had a comparatively raw deal.
The distinction between materialists and spiritualists does not
of course only apply to politicians and priests or to scientists and artists,
nor indeed to proton politicians and quasi-electron politicians, proton
scientists and quasi-electron scientists, the former of whom
will be more indebted to
A post-dualistic civilization, however, could only produce
free-electron artists, since religion and art take considerable precedence over
politics and science with the advent of such a high degree of civilization as
would be achieved on the post-atomic plane.
In a post-atomic barbarous society, on the other hand, art and religion
can only be bound to politics and science, since a new state has come to
replace the old one and officially outlawed the religion appertaining to it
without, however, creating a new religion to replace what went before. In such a society - and the
