701. Such quasi-subconscious
consciousness would contrast with the genuine subconsciousness of consciousness
vis-à-vis dreams.
702. Analogous to the
pseudo-superconsciousness of external supernatural visionary experience through
holograms, we could speak of consciousness of apparitions, or external
subnatural visionary experience, as constituting a pseudo-subconsciousness.
703. Consciousness of
thoughts, or words, on computer screens is antithetical to consciousness of
deeds, or actions, on television, and corresponds to consciousness vis-à-vis
thoughts and fantasies respectively.
704. Beyond the
superconscious consciousness of, say, LSD trips stands the supra-conscious
consciousness of the universal self, or air as the focus of meditative
attention.
705. Such a
supra-consciousness is One with the Holy Spirit of Heaven, and contrasts,
absolutely, with what may be called the supra-unconsciousness of the Clear
Light of the Void.
706. Hence where alpha God is
supra-unconscious, omega God is supra-conscious: all the difference between the
creative central star of the Galaxy and the coming transcendentalism of the
ultimate Creation.
707. By contrast to the
central star of the Galaxy, the sun corresponds to noumenal unconsciousness,
the 'Satanic' personal unconscious of absolute Hell.
708. By comparison with the
sun, the core of the earth corresponds to phenomenal unconsciousness, the
collective unconscious of relative Hell.
709. If television
corresponds to the collective unconscious of relative, or worldly, Hell, then
cinema corresponds to the personal unconscious of absolute, or cosmic, Hell.
710. Cinema precedes
television as the 'Fall of Satan' precedes the 'Fall of Man'.
711. Contrasted to cinema, we
shall find the 'Jehovah-like' medium of film slides, which correspond, in their
static translucency, to the supra-unconsciousness of primal Heaven.
712. Video is a sort of omega
pole to cinema, a more centripetal formatting (through cassettes) of the
personal unconscious.
713. Radio is a sort of omega
pole to television, a more centripetal formatting (through concepts) of the
collective unconscious.
714. Compact disc is a sort
of omega pole to personal computers, a more centripetal formatting (through
laser discs) of the personal conscious.
715. Virtual Reality is a
sort of omega pole to film slides, a more centripetal formatting (through
interiorized space) of universal consciousness.
716. Yet all such
materialistic and technological parallels to the unconscious/conscious, being
phenomenal, are a far cry from the literal, or noumenal, extremes of the
unconscious and conscious which constitute the beginnings and endings of life,
the universe, evolution, etc.
717. The unconscious is
devolutionary, whereas the conscious is evolutionary.
718. The unconscious devolves
from the supra-unconscious, whereas the conscious evolves towards the
supra-conscious.
719. Thus between the Clear
Light of the Void and the Holy Spirit of Heaven are to be found various degrees
and kinds of unconscious devolution and conscious evolution.
720. That which is
unconscious is under the star - whether absolutely or relatively, personally or
collectively.
721. That which is conscious
is on the side of the cross - whether relatively or absolutely, personally or
universally.
722. That which is
unconscious corresponds to the not-self, whether absolutely or relatively,
noumenally or phenomenally.
723. That which is conscious
corresponds to the self - whether relatively or absolutely, phenomenally or
noumenally.
724. As in the beginning so
in the end - the devolution (fall) from the supra-unconscious to the
unconscious (both personal and collective) will be superseded by the evolution
(resurrection) of the conscious (via the superconscious) to the
supra-conscious.
725. Just as the unconscious
can be spoken of as the soul, so the conscious can be regarded as the spirit.
726. Hence the unconscious
stands to the conscious as soul to spirit.
727. The supra-unconscious is
a sort of oversoul (Emerson), which contrasts with the overspirit, so to speak,
of the supra-conscious.
728. The essence of the
oversoul, or supra-unconscious, is conscience, which is the 'Thou shalt not' of
negative spirit, or light.
729. The essence of the
overspirit, or supra-conscious, is joy, which is the 'Thou art that' of
positive spirit, or air.
730. Just as one must deny
the soul in order to achieve the spirit, so must the spirit be denied, through
the universal self (of air), in order to achieve salvation in and by the
overspirit, viz. the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
731. The rejection of
conscience by the personal unconscious is the curse of the Devil.
732. The personal unconscious
is without conscience and is thus purely, or noumenally, evil.
733. The collective
unconscious is impurely, or phenomenally, evil, being a thing of the World.
734. The conscious is
impurely, or phenomenally, good, being a thing of the Overworld.
735. The superconscious is
purely, or noumenally, good, being of the Beyond.
736. Generally, women are
biased towards the unconscious and men, by contrast, towards the conscious.
737. Hence whereas women are
impurely evil, men are impurely good - a distinction between the flesh and the
mind.
738. Women are not, with
their unconscious dispositions, morally suited to spiritual leadership.
739. Women do not generally
relate to spiritual transcendence of the World, but are of the World in their
fleshy dispositions.
740. A creature of the World
cannot symbolize rejection of the World through Christ (consciousness) and,
ultimately, its transcendence in and by the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
741. Women keep the World
going, while men endeavour, if moral, to reject it as a precondition of
transcendence.
742. Ultimately, men will
have to reject the World totally, if they seriously intend to attain to the
heavenly Beyond.
743. Such a total rejection
may well entail completely artificial methods of propagation coupled to
selective genetics of a kind intended to favour spirit at the expense of soul.
744. In music, wind pitch
corresponds to the supra-unconscious and vocal pitch to the supra-conscious.
745. Likewise rhythm
corresponds to the personal unconscious and harmony to the collective
unconscious.
746. By contrast, melody
corresponds to the conscious and instrumental pitch to the superconscious.
747. Whereas drums are the
instruments, par excellence, of the
personal unconscious, the collective unconscious is best served by guitars and
other such stringed instruments.
748. Whereas keyboard
instruments like the piano are the principal means through which the conscious
seeks musical expression, the superconscious calls for synthesizers, which are
the most pitch-orientated of keyboard instruments.
749. Yet if the
superconscious seeks musical expression through synthesizers, then it seems not
improbable that xylophones, vibraphones, and other percussive keyboards are the
principal means through which the subconscious seeks musical expression.
750. For the subconscious is
the lowest manifestation of the self, and stands at the farthest psychic remove
from the superconscious.
751. Thus from xylophones to
synthesizers via pianos - a range of keyboard instruments paralleling the
ascension of the self from subconscious to superconscious via conscious
manifestations.
752. Beyond the
superconscious, however, is the supra-conscious pitch of pipes, which stand in
an antithetical relationship to wind.
753. Self does not
necessarily lead to supra-self, or divinity, although it is of course necessary
to have a self before its denial becomes possible.
754. Thus it is necessary, in
religious terms, to affirm Christ before the Holy Spirit of Heaven becomes
possible.
755. Traditionally, Christ
has been affirmed in subconscious (Catholic) and conscious (Protestant) terms,
though not, as yet, in terms of the superconscious (Social Theocratic), such as
portend a Second Coming.
756. It is from the
superconscious affirmation of the Second Coming that the supra-conscious
affirmation of the Holy Spirit of Heaven will duly come to pass, as the highest
manifestation of the self embraces, through self-denial, the universal self,
and is accordingly saved.
757. Salvation of the self
from the unconscious paves the way for universal self, and hence the Holy
Spirit of Heaven.
758. The highest unconscious
from which the highest self, of the superconscious, can be saved ... is the
forebrain unconscious of hallucinogenic contemplation, viz. LSD trips.
759. Self does not exist in a
vacuum or void, like the supra-unconscious, but in relation to unconsciousness
of one degree/kind or another.
760. Before the self can be
saved from the unconscious, it must achieve a superconscious pitch vis-à-vis
the synthetic unconscious of forebrain visionary experience.
761. Men are generally more
selfish, because conscious, than women, whose selflessness derives from a bias
towards the unconscious.
762. The collective unconscious,
corresponding to the feminine, is rather more sensational than emotional,
whereas the personal unconscious is primarily emotional, in accordance with its
soulful essence.
763. The supra-unconscious is
spiritually rather than soulfully emotional, which is to say, given to
conscience-based feelings which stand to the cruder emotions of the personal
unconscious as light to fire.
764. The personal conscious,
corresponding to the masculine, is rather more intellectual than spiritual,
whereas the superconscious is primarily spiritual, in accordance with its
visionary essence.
765. The supra-conscious is
transcendentally rather than visionarily spiritual, which is to say, given to
breath-based feelings which stand to the cruder spirituality of the superconscious
(the collective conscious) as air to ice.
766. In air, the spirit is
saved from its icy self for the joyful purity of the heavenly Beyond.
767. A true and ultimate
'transvaluation' or 'rebirth' is not possible without the utmost attenuation of
the unconscious through evolutionary progress.
768. Such attenuation,
centred in the forebrain, is not only beyond the backbrain but beyond the left
and right midbrains as well.
769. The supra-conscious is
as much beyond good and evil, in regard to the conscious/unconscious dichotomy,
as the supra-unconscious is behind it.
770. The good and evil
dichotomy of the personal conscious/collective unconscious is necessarily
phenomenal, and contrasts with the absolutism of both anterior and posterior
noumenal extremes.
771. If the supra-unconscious
is behind good and evil, then it is neither good nor evil but negatively
divine.
772. If the supra-conscious
is beyond good and evil, then it is neither good nor evil but positively
divine.
773. The negative divinity of
conscience contrasts with the positive divinity of truth.
774. If good and evil are
relative in the phenomenal modes of the personal conscious and collective
unconscious, then it could be argued that only in the noumenal modes of the
personal unconscious and collective conscious (superconscious) are they
absolute.
775. Such an absolute
dichotomy contrasts with the relative dichotomy of phenomenal good and evil, as
the Devil (Satan) and God (the Second Coming) with Man (the Son) and Woman (the
Mother).
776. Absolute good and evil
may flank relative (phenomenal) good and evil, but do not transcend it for the
realms of divinity, which, as we have seen, are either behind or beyond good
and evil.
777. He who is beyond good
and evil, in both its relative and absolute manifestations, is no longer Man
but God ... the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
778. He who is behind good
and evil, in both its absolute and relative manifestations, is not yet Man but
God ... the Clear Light of the Void.
779. The Clear Light of the
Void is no less incapable of joy, than the Holy Spirit of Heaven would be
incapable of woe.
780. That which is behind
good and evil is deaf to truth, whereas that which is beyond good and evil is
blind to illusion.
781. Conscience calls forth
the illusion of light (law), whereas salvation brings forth the truth of air
(Heaven).
782. The lawyer and the saint
stand at opposite poles of the divine spectrum, like the Clear Light of the
Void and the Holy Spirit of Heaven - the one behind good and evil, the other
beyond it.
783. That man who is beyond
good and evil is yet closer to good (the collective conscious) than to evil
(the collective unconscious).
784. That man who is behind
good and evil is yet closer to evil (the personal unconscious) than to good
(the personal conscious).
785. Musically speaking, the
solo wind-instrumentalist, who is behind good and evil, is akin to the lawyer
in his identification with the supra-unconscious.
786. Conversely, the piper,
who is beyond good and evil, is akin to the saint in his identification with
the supra-conscious.
787. In between and lower
than the two divine extremes of solo wind-instrumentalists and solo pipers come
the various grades of singers/instrumentalists and instrumentalists/synthesists.
788. The man who is musically
saved, and therefore given to piping, can have no truck with wind instruments,
and hence wind compositions.
789. The man who oscillates
between wind and pipes is not saved but torn, in dynamically amoral fashion,
between alpha and omega.
790. Guitar/violin
instrumentality is a sort of barbarous darkness in between the 'outer light' of
wind and the 'inner spirit' of pipes - the former appertaining to bad
civilization, and the latter to good civilization.
791. Alternatively one could
speak of guitar/violin instrumentality as a sort of barbarous darkness
(particle/wavicle respectively) in between the 'outer light/heat' of percussion
and the 'inner heat/light' of synthesizer instrumentality - the former
appertaining to a more devolved phase of bad civilization, and the latter to
good civilization in its inceptive phase.
792. The twentieth century
was, by and large, an age of 'liberal' compromise between a variety of
different instrumental and vocal combinations, which conform to its amoral
permissiveness.
793. Not until the Last
Judgement will such permissiveness be superseded by a moral directive relating
to the (Social Theocratic) 'Kingdom of Heaven'.
794. Whereas the
supra-unconscious, rooted in the negative spirit of what is behind good
and evil (but closer to evil), takes a 'Thou-shalt-not' line in moral
judgements, the supra-conscious, centred in the positive spirit of what is beyond
good and evil (but closer to good), takes a 'Thou-shall' line in regard to
morally desirable objectives.
795. Hence whereas the Mosaic
Law focuses its negative spirit on what is not morally desirable, the judgements of the Second
Coming will focus, through positive spirit, on what is morally desirable,
thereby leading from the front rather than prohibiting from the rear.
796. It is the positive
spirit of the Second Coming which says: 'You shall do this' if you are to be
saved.
797. The Mosaic transmutation
of the negative spirit of Jehovah, the Judaic Clear Light of the Void, could
only say: 'You shall not do this' if you are to avoid being damned or, rather,
cursed.
798. There is no salvation in
Jehovah or other variations on the Clear Light of the Void, for the simple
reason that salvation is from the World to the Beyond, not from the World to
the Behind.
799. The Behind, rooted in
lawful conscience, is simply a cosmic backdrop to a succession of falls which,
culminating in the World, open out to the possibility, following a Christian
rebirth, of the Beyond, the heavenly redemption of sin.
800. The Beyond offers man
the benefits of joy in relation to the lightness of air, whereas the Behind
could offer nothing more than woe in relation to the speed of light.
