101. Where
negative 'divine sex' is concerned, public voyeurism corresponds to the Clear
Light of the Void and private voyeurism to the Unclear Light of Heaven.
102. Where
positive 'divine sex' is concerned, public oral corresponds to the Unholy
Spirit of the Void and private oral to the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
103. Where
negative 'diabolic sex' is concerned, public fetishism corresponds to the Clear
Heat of Time and private fetishism to the Unclear Heat of Hell.
104. Where
positive 'diabolic sex' is concerned, public masturbation corresponds to the
Unholy Soul of Time and private masturbation to the Holy Soul of Hell.
105. Where
negative 'purgatorial sex' is concerned, public homosexuality corresponds to
the Clear Coldness of Volume and private homosexuality to the Unclear Coldness
of Purgatory.
106. Where
positive 'purgatorial sex' is concerned, public lesbianism corresponds to the
Unholy Mind of Volume and private lesbianism to the
Holy Mind of Purgatory.
107. Where
negative 'mundane sex' is concerned, public sadomasochism corresponds to the
Clear Darkness of Mass and private sadomasochism to the Unclear Darkness of the
World.
108. Where
positive 'mundane sex' is concerned, public heterosexuality corresponds to the
Unholy Will of Mass and private heterosexuality to the Holy Will of the World.
109. From the woe of voyeurism to the pain of sadomasochism via
the humiliation of fetishism and the hatred of homosexual intercourse.
110. From the pleasure of heterosexual intercourse to the joy of
oral sex via the love of lesbianism and the pride of masturbation.
111. When the intellect is used in the context that is most true
to itself, it is used for reading.
112. When
the intellect is used in the context that is most false to itself, it is used
for thinking.
113. When
the intellect is used in the context that is least false to itself, it is used
for writing.
114. When
the intellect is used in the context that is least true to itself, it is used
for speaking.
115. The
intellect that is used for reading is properly intellectual.
116. The intellect that is used for thinking is quasi-spiritual,
and hence pseudo-intellectual.
117. The
intellect that is used for writing is quasi-instinctual, and hence
pseudo-intellectual.
118. The
intellect that is used for speaking is quasi-emotional, and hence
'pseudo'-intellectual.
119. To contrast
the phenomenal objectivity of reading, which is properly intellectual, with the
noumenal subjectivity (subjectivism) of thinking, the
phenomenal subjectivity of writing, and the noumenal
objectivity (objectivism) of speaking, all of which are pseudo-intellectual.
120. Strictly
speaking, the noumenal objectivity of speaking, which
is quasi-emotional, is less pseudo-intellectual, and hence false, than least
true to the intellect, and therefore a lesser sort of intellectuality.
121. Hence
reading and speaking are two sides of an objective coin - the former civilized
and the latter barbarous.
122. Likewise,
writing and thinking are two sides of a subjective coin - the former natural
and the latter cultural.
123. It is with the subjective coin of writing and
thinking that the intellect is respectively least and most false to itself, and
therefore truly pseudo-intellectual.
124. The pseudo-intellectuality which is most false to intellect,
viz. thinking, is the weakest link in the chain of intellectuality, and thus
that which, when prayerfully directed, permits access to true spirituality.
125. True
spirituality transcends the intellect as air transcends the brain,
or Heaven transcends Purgatory.
126. When
spirituality is most true to itself, it is meditative, and thus concerned with
union between the noumenal self of pure consciousness
and the universal self of pure air.
127. When
spirituality is least true to itself, it is concerned not with meditation but
with art, and the aesthetic illustration, thereby, of a religious ideal.
128. Unlike meditation, which is noumenally
subjective, art is phenomenally subjective, and hence the least true mode of
spirituality.
129. When
spirituality is least false it is theological, and thus concerned with ethical concepts
and scriptural exegesis.
130. When
spirituality is most false it is ritualistic, and thus given to the enactment
and symbolic illustration of religious mysteries.
131. Unlike theology, which is phenomenally objective, ritual is noumenally objective, and hence the most false mode of
spirituality.
132. The
spirituality that is concerned with meditation is properly spiritual.
133. The
spirituality that is concerned with art is quasi-instinctual, and hence
'pseudo'-spiritual.
134. The spirituality that is concerned with scriptural exegesis
is quasi-intellectual, and hence pseudo-spiritual.
135. The
spirituality that is concerned with ritualistic symbolism is quasi-emotional,
and hence pseudo-spiritual.
136. To
contrast the noumenal subjectivity of meditation,
which is properly spiritual, with the phenomenal subjectivity of art, the
phenomenal objectivity of theology, and the noumenal
objectivity of ritual, all of which are pseudo-spiritual.
137. Strictly
speaking, the phenomenal subjectivity of art, which is quasi-instinctual, is
less pseudo-spiritual, and hence false, than least true to the spirit, and
therefore a lesser sort of spirituality.
138. Hence
art and meditation are two sides of a subjective coin - the former natural and
the latter cultural.
139. Likewise,
theology and ritual are two sides of an objective coin - the former civilized
and the latter barbarous.
140. It is with the objective coin of theology and
ritual that the spirit is respectively least and most false to itself, and
therefore truly pseudo-spiritual.
141. The
false spirituality of the Father (most) and of the Son (least) vis-à-vis the
true spirituality of the Mother (least) and of the Holy Spirit (most).
142. When
spirituality is liberated from falsity by the Second Coming, both symbolic
ritual and ethical theology will be cast off, and the World be delivered from
the least true spirituality of art to the most true spirituality of meditation,
which is salvation.
143. To
distinguish between the cultural naturalism of religious art and the natural
culture of meditation.
144. To distinguish, furthermore, between the cultural
supernaturalism of religious superart (holography)
and the supernatural culture of supermeditation (or
meditation making use of specially-manufactured oxygen) as a future alternative
to the above.
145. To
distinguish not only between genuine (true) art and anti-art, or religious and
secular representation, but also between false art and anti-art, or religious
and secular abstraction.
146. To distinguish, furthermore, not only between false art and
anti-art, as above, but also between superfalse art
and anti-art, or religious and secular light art.
147. Whereas
true art/anti-art is feminine and concrete, false art/anti-art is masculine and
abstract.
148. Whereas
false art/anti-art is masculine and abstract, superfalse
art/anti-art is diabolic and super-abstract, i.e. electronic.
149. Whereas
superfalse art/anti-art is diabolic and
super-abstract, supertrue art/anti-art is divine and superconcrete, i.e. holographic.
150. Abstract
art, whether phenomenal or noumenal, painterly or
electronic, follows from an objective premise.
151. Concrete
art, whether phenomenal or noumenal, painterly or
holographic, follows from a subjective premise.
152. The
abstract artist is not delineating himself/his self but the 'objectivity' of
paint/light.
153. The
concrete artist is not delineating the objectivity of paint/light, but
himself/his self through the medium of his subject.
154. Anti-artists,
whether abstract or concrete, tend to concentrate more
on the objectivity of their medium than on its potential for subjective
revelation.
155. This is because anti-art is more concerned with the secular
than the religious, and so emphasizes the apparent (particle) rather than the
essential (wavicle) side of life.
156. Although
dissimilar in their standpoints vis-à-vis the World, both Expressionism and
Impressionism appertain to the realm of anti-art.
157. Expressionism
and Impressionism were the German and French approaches, respectively, to the
realm of true anti-art.
158. Abstract
Expressionism and Abstract Impressionism (Post-Painterly Abstraction) appertain
to the realm of false anti-art.
159. Expressionist
Light Art and Impressionist Light Art appertain to the realm of superfalse anti-art.
160. The
realm of 'supertrue' anti-art is largely one of
stained-glass windows, whereby natural light is used to illuminate scenes from
the Gospels.
161. Such
'supertrue' anti-art is the negative pole to the supertrue art which will shine inwardly with a holographic
glow.
162. Although
also shining inwardly, computer graphics are less radically transcendent than
holograms, given their dependence on computers - an intellectual rather than a
spiritual medium.
163. There is a sense in which computers correspond
to thoughts, in that they are an extreme form of intellectual subjectivity,
sharing with radio, microfiche, and television a materialistic integrity
broadly germane to the lunar.
164. Radio
is the medium of 'artificial intelligence' through which the intellect is
manifested emotionally, as the spoken word (dramatic).
165. Television
is the medium of 'artificial intelligence' through which the intellect is
manifested instinctually, as the acted word (prosodic).
166. Microfiche
is the medium of 'artificial intelligence' through which the intellect is
manifested intellectually, as the read word (poetic).
167. Computers
are the medium of 'artificial intelligence' through which the intellect is
manifested spiritually, as the thought word (philosophic).
168. Besides
the media of 'artificial intelligence', there are the media of artificial will,
soul, and spirit.
169. Broadly,
the media of 'artificial will' are newspapers, magazines, books, and co-mags (comicbook magazines).
170. Broadly,
the media of 'artificial soul' are audio tapes, video tapes, records, and
compact discs.
171. Broadly,
the media of 'artificial spirit' are newsreels, films, slides, and virtual
reality.
172. Newspapers
are the medium of 'artificial will' through which the will is manifested
emotionally, as the dramatic act.
173. Magazines
are the medium of 'artificial will' through which the will is manifested
instinctually, as the prosodic act.
174. Books
are the medium of 'artificial will' through which the will is manifested
intellectually, as the poetic act.
175. Co-mags are the medium of 'artificial will' through which the
will is manifested spiritually, as the philosophic act.
176. Audio
tapes are the medium of 'artificial soul' through which the soul is manifested
emotionally, as the dramatic emotion.
177. Video
tapes are the medium of 'artificial soul' through which the soul is manifested
instinctually, as the prosodic emotion.
178. Records
are the medium of 'artificial soul' through which the soul is manifested
intellectually, as the poetic emotion.
179. Compact
discs are the medium of 'artificial soul' through which the soul is manifested
spiritually, as the philosophic emotion.
180. Newsreels
are the medium of 'artificial spirit' through which the spirit is manifested
emotionally, as the dramatic awareness.
181. Films
are the medium of 'artificial spirit' through which the spirit is manifested
instinctually, as the prosodic awareness.
182. Slides
are the medium of 'artificial spirit' through which the spirit is manifested
intellectually, as the poetic awareness.
183. Virtual
reality is the medium of 'artificial spirit' through which the spirit is
manifested spiritually, as the philosophic awareness.
184. Where
'artificial intelligence' is concerned, microfiche is the medium most
classically attuned to the intellect.
185. Where
'artificial will' is concerned, magazines are the medium most classically
attuned to the will.
186. Where
'artificial soul' is concerned, audio tapes are the medium most classically
attuned to the soul.
187. Where
'artificial spirit' is concerned, virtual reality is the medium most
classically attuned to the spirit.
188. Hence
microfiche, magazines, audio tapes, and virtual reality are the media most
classically attuned to their respective modes of artifice.
189. If
the media of 'artificial intelligence' share a materialistic integrity broadly
germane to the lunar (purgatorial), then the media of 'artificial will' share a
realistic integrity broadly germane to the planar (worldly).
190. If
the media of 'artificial will' share a realistic integrity broadly germane to
the planar, then the media of 'artificial soul' share a naturalistic integrity
broadly germane to the solar (diabolic).
191. If
the media of 'artificial soul' share a naturalistic integrity broadly germane
to the solar, then the media of 'artificial spirit' share an idealistic
integrity broadly germane to the stellar (divine).
192. The
media of 'artificial intelligence', being materialistic, are rooted in the
phenomenal objectivity of the lunar.
193. The
media of 'artificial will', being realistic, are rooted in the phenomenal
subjectivity of the planar (planetary).
194. The
media of 'artificial soul', being naturalistic, are rooted in the noumenal objectivity of the solar.
195. The
media of 'artificial spirit', being idealistic, are rooted in the noumenal subjectivity of the stellar.
196. Of
the media of 'artificial intelligence', those most removed from the microfiche
classicism of phenomenal objectivity are the computer (most false to the
intellect) and the television (least false to the intellect), while the radio,
being noumenally objective, is simply the medium that
is least true to it.
197. Of
the media of 'artificial will', those most removed from the magazine classicism
of phenomenal subjectivity are the newspaper (most false to the will) and the
book (least false to the will), while the co-mag,
being noumenally subjective, is simply the medium
that is least true to it.
198. Of
the media of 'artificial soul', those most removed from the audio-tape
classicism of noumenal objectivity are the compact
disc (most false to the soul) and the video tape (least false to the soul),
while the record, being phenomenally objective, is simply the medium that is
least true to it.
199. Of
the media of 'artificial spirit', those most removed from the virtual-reality
classicism of noumenal subjectivity are the newsreel (most
false to the spirit) and the slide (least false to the spirit), while the film,
being phenomenally subjective, is simply the medium that is least true to it.
200. Besides
the quadruplicities of artificial intelligence, will,
soul, and spirit, there are quadruplicities of subnatural, natural, and supernatural intelligence, will,
soul, and spirit.
