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.
