801. Further to my theories
of musical parallels to divine alpha and omega, viz. wind and pipes, I should
like to add the two intermediate categories of singing and whistle-playing,
classifying the former as commensurate with omega-in-the-alpha and the latter
as commensurate with alpha-in-the-omega.
802. Hence the distinction
between singing and whistle-playing is less extreme than that between wind
instrumentality and piping.
803. Whereas wind
instrumentality is musically equivalent to the Clear Light of the Void,
singing, by contrast, is musically equivalent to the Unholy Spirit of the Void.
804. And whereas piping is
musically equivalent to the Holy Spirit of Heaven, whistle-playing, by
contrast, is musically equivalent to the Unclear Light of Heaven.
805. What truly distinguishes
alpha from omega in divine musical terms is the fact of a vacuum vis-à-vis the
truth of a plenum.
806. Because alpha is light
and omega spirit, we are therefore distinguishing what passes, as wind, through
a vacuum from what issues, as air, from a plenum.
807. The vacuum is
characterized, in instrumental terms, by wind instruments like the saxophone
and the trumpet, together with tin whistles and harmonicas.
808. The plenum is
characterized, in musical/instrumental terms, by what issues, as air, from
either lungs (singing) or the bag of pipes.
809. Where
there is a tubular vacuum, as in wind instruments, one has a musical parallel
with light, and therefore the alpha.
810. Where there is an
air-filled plenum, as in the bag of pipes and in lungs, one has a musical
parallel with spirit, and therefore the omega.
811. The distinction between
alpha and alpha-in-the-omega, the Clear Light of the Void and the Unclear Light
of Heaven, is between the centrifugal and the centripetal, outer and inner.
812. Likewise the distinction
between omega-in-the-alpha and omega, the Unholy Spirit of the Void and the
Holy Spirit of Heaven, is between the centrifugal and the centripetal, outer
and inner.
813. Wind instruments, like
saxophones, are centrifugal by comparison with tin whistles and even
harmonicas, and therefore correspond to the outer as opposed to the inner
light.
814. Singing,
rooted in the lungs, is centrifugal by comparison with piping, and therefore
corresponds to the outer as opposed to the inner spirit.
815. Hence from the outer
light of wind instrumentality to the inner spirit of pipes via the outer spirit
of songs and the inner light of whistles/harmonicas.
816. For
a civilization centred in the inner, whether in light or spirit, that which was
outer would be beneath the pale.
817. For
a civilization rooted in the outer, whether in light or spirit, that which was
inner would be beyond the pale.
818. A civilization centred
in the inner is a good civilization.
819. A civilization rooted in
the outer is a bad civilization.
820. Both the outer light of
wind and the inner light of whistles are rooted in the supra-unconscious.
821. Both the outer spirit of
songs and the inner spirit of pipes are centred in the supra-conscious.
822. If the conscious is
masculine and the unconscious feminine, then the supra-conscious is
supra-masculine and the supra-unconscious supra-feminine.
823. The improvisational
character of much jazzy wind-playing confirms the fundamentalist essence of
Jazz as an art form rooted in the supra-unconscious.
824. To distinguish the
'spatial' essence of wind/whistle playing from the 'spaced' essence of
singing/piping, as between fundamentalist and transcendentalist approaches to
divinity, the former supra-unconscious and the latter supra-conscious, both
outer and inner.
825. A woman blows her
conscious credibility from the moment she becomes pregnant and enters
motherhood.
826. Motherhood confirms
woman in her femininity, as a creature for whom the unconscious takes
precedence over the conscious.
827. There are so many
aspects of motherhood which are of the unconscious, from gestation to lactation,
that active mothers can only be regarded as conscious in a subordinate and
secondary way.
828. A woman who wishes to
affirm the conscious self over the unconscious not-self has to disavow
motherhood and either remain celibate or take every precaution against becoming
pregnant.
829. It should be the
inalienable right of every woman to avoid pregnancy and even to terminate
pregnancy, if it is her sincere wish to develop the conscious self at the
expense of the unconscious not-self.
830. Without
such a right, women will remain the slaves of nature, virtual creatures of
nature, with no real prospects of conscious self-determination.
831. Making a god out of
nature and natural processes is an unchristian failing which simply enslaves
women to the World, making for natural reproduction world-without-heathen-end.
832. That woman who succumbs,
through pregnancy, to the World parts company with the Blessed Virgin and
effectively damns herself to the unconscious Hell of the Cursed Whore.
833. The
objective of moral progress is to overcome and transcend the World, moving, via
artificial alternatives, to a supra-natural salvation in God ... the Holy
Spirit of Heaven.
834. Women
who wish to defend worldly power can have no place in building God's Kingdom,
which will only come properly to pass when the World has been democratically
overcome and mankind elects to substitute, under religious sovereignty,
artificial for natural methods of reproduction, increasingly entering life via
science rather than sex.
835. Every gain that
consciousness makes at the expense of the unconscious hastens the day when the
supra-conscious will come to pass, ushering in the salvation of the self in and
by the universal self, consciousness at one with the air upon which it is
internally focused.
836. The divine Father
(Creator) is commensurate with the Clear Light of the Void.
837. The
divine Son, who sits on the right-hand side of the Father, so to speak, in the
spectrum of divine alternatives, is commensurate with the Unholy Spirit of the
Void.
838. The
divine Mother, who ascended into Heaven, is commensurate with the Unclear Light
of Heaven.
839. The Divine per se is commensurate with the Holy Spirit
of Heaven, which is beyond all else and alone the one, true, and ultimate God,
of which I am but a servant.
840. Those who side with the
unconscious tend to a comic view of life, which contrasts with the tragic view
of those who, following in Christ's moral footsteps, side with the conscious.
841. Like
Jazz, classical music is generally rooted in the supra-unconscious, from which
starting-point everything beyond wind stems.
842. It could generally be
said of Jazz and Classical alike that they are rooted in wind and are thus, at
best, negatively divine.
843. The sun is both supermasculine and superfeminine
- the former when rising and the latter when setting.
844. Likewise the moon is
both masculine and feminine - the former in its waxing and the latter in its
waning.
845. If the supra-unconscious
is supra-feminine, then the personal unconscious is superfeminine,
and hence absolutely immoral.
846. If the supra-conscious
is supra-masculine, then the collective conscious (superconscious)
is supermasculine, and hence absolutely moral.
847. In between the
absolutely immoral personal unconscious and the absolutely moral collective
conscious come the relatively immoral collective unconscious and the relatively
moral personal conscious - the former feminine and the latter masculine.
848. The
road back leads from the collective unconscious to the personal unconscious
and, finally, to the supra-unconscious of primal divinity.
849. The
road forward leads from the personal conscious to the collective conscious and,
finally, to the supra-conscious of ultimate divinity.
850. To
be relatively damned is to pass from the personal conscious to the collective
unconscious, which is phenomenally evil.
851. To
be relatively saved is to pass from the collective unconscious to the personal
conscious, which is phenomenally good.
852. To
be absolutely damned is to pass from the collective unconscious to the personal
unconscious, which is noumenally evil.
853. To
be absolutely saved is to pass from the personal conscious to the collective
conscious, which is noumenally good.
854. To pass from the
personal unconscious to the supra-unconscious is to become negatively divine.
855. To pass from the
collective conscious to the supra-conscious is to become positively divine.
856. Negative divinity is
behind good and evil, salvation and damnation, and is therefore supra-immoral.
857. Positive divinity is
beyond good and evil, salvation and damnation, and is therefore supra-moral.
858. There is nothing
anterior to the negative divinity of the supra-unconscious Clear Light of the
Void.
859. There is nothing
posterior to the positive divinity of the supra-conscious Holy Spirit of
Heaven.
860. It is on account of its
inherently unsatisfactory, because woeful, nature that there were a series of
ever-more devolved falls from the Clear Light of the Void, viz. spatial
illusion.
861. It is on account of its
intrinsically satisfactory, because joyful, nature that there will be a series
of ever-more evolved rises to the Holy Spirit of Heaven, viz. spaced truth.
862. The feminine devolves
from what is or was supra-feminine, whereas the masculine evolves towards what
is or will be supra-masculine - the former everlastingly woeful and the latter
eternally joyful.
863. To distinguish the
phenomenal selfishness of the personal conscious from the phenomenal
selflessness of the collective unconscious.
864. Likewise to distinguish
the noumenal selfishness of the collective conscious
(superconscious) from the noumenal
selflessness of the personal unconscious.
865. Finally, to distinguish
the supra-selfishness of the supra-conscious from the supra-selflessness of the
supra-unconscious.
866. The
personal conscious does not transcend the collective unconscious, but exists in
relation to it, as man to woman.
867. Only
the superconscious transcends the collective
unconscious, since there can be no relationship between the collective
conscious and the collective unconscious.
868. The
superconscious paves the way, as already noted, for
the supra-conscious, and hence salvation from the self in and through the
universal self of airy Heaven.
869. The superconscious
ties-in with all that is synthetic, including LSD, synthesizers, and computer
erotica, whereas the supra-conscious transcends the synthetic in and through
the air, whether manifesting in meditation, uilleann
pipes, or plastic inflatables.
870. Alpha-stemming people
tend to wear duffel coats, overcoats, and raincoats, whereas omega-aspiring
people favour zipper jackets taken-in at the waist in a closed-society
opposition to open-society 'untransvaluated' norms.
871. The man who is 'born
again', or 'transvaluated', will not be one to wear
duffel coats, overcoats, or raincoats, but may well prefer short zipper-jackets
such that begin in the World and open towards Eternity.
872. By contrast to zipper
jackets, which are closed (taken-in) at the waist and effectively open to
Eternity (at the neck), duffel coats, overcoats, and raincoats are open at the
hem and effectively closed (buttoned-up) at the neck, as though open to the
Cosmos but closed to the Beyond.
873. Duffel coats precede
overcoats as the central star of the Galaxy precedes the sun - their hood an
indication of alpha-divine allegiance.
874. This contrasts with the
omega-oriented allegiance of hooded zipper-jackets, whereby a convergence
towards ultimate divinity is symbolized in and by the hood.
875. Hence where duffel coats
may be said, in their openness, to reflect a tending away from the hood (of
primal divinity), hooded zippers reflect (in their
closed construction) a convergence towards the hood (of ultimate divinity).
876. There is thus all the
difference in regard to the Clear Light of the Void and the Holy Spirit of
Heaven between the person who wears a duffel coat and the one dressed in a
waist-length hooded-zipper: the former open society and the latter closed.
877. Whereas short
zipper-jackets are 'beyond the pale' of those who dress in open-society
fashion, duffel coats, overcoats, and raincoats tend to be 'beneath the pale',
so to speak, of those whose sartorial preference is closed society.
878. One might cite a
Heathen/Christian or, rather, Heathen/Superchristian
distinction between the alpha stemming and the omega orientated, the 'untransvaluated' and the 'transvaluated'.
879. Such an antithesis as
exists, for example, between duffel coats and hooded zippers is paralleled, in
musical-instrument terms, by that between, say, the saxophone and uilleann pipes - the one alpha and the other omega, vacuum
and plenum of instrumental extremes.
880. One would have to be
into duffel coats to take wind-based music seriously - at any rate, this is the
logical inference that can be made when we seek to establish parallels between
the contexts in question.
881. From
the alpha of chanting to the omega of humming via the relative omega
(omega-in-the-alpha) of singing and the relative alpha (alpha-in-the-omega) of
whistling.
882. Belief in a universal
Creator, or Creator of the Universe, is only credible during an objective age,
when the majority of people pay deference to authoritarian power.
883. Anyone who is in any
degree evolved enough to have a subjective view of life will tend to regard the
Universe and everything in it as being self-creating, with God (the Holy Spirit
of Heaven) as the ultimate Creation rather than, as in the past, primal
Creator.
884. In fact, being able to
distinguish between the Universe as alpha and Heaven as omega will only be
possible to a person who is evolved enough to have a subjective view of life,
so that God (the Holy Spirit of Heaven) is apperceived as being at the opposite
extreme from the Cosmos (the Clear Light of the Void).
885. Hence
where the Universe is devolutionary because objective, Heaven is evolutionary
because subjective - all the difference between science and religion, or
philosophy and theosophy.
886. Whereas science and
religion are practical, philosophy and theosophy are theoretical, the
theoretical bases, respectively, of science and religion.
887. That man who is saved
will be no less beyond philosophy than beyond science; he lives for religion
(God) based on sound theosophical speculations (doctrine).
888. As
illogical to speak of philosophy as scientific theosophy, as to regard
theosophy as religious philosophy.
889. Scientific theosophy is
to theosophy-proper what religious philosophy is to philosophy-proper: a
paradoxical relativity found in-between the philosophical and theosophical
extremes.
890. If philosophy-proper
corresponds to the Clear Light of the Void, then religious philosophy
(theology) corresponds to the Unholy Spirit of the Void.
891. If theosophy-proper
corresponds to the Holy Spirit of Heaven, then scientific theosophy (philology)
corresponds to the Unclear Light of Heaven.
892. Philosophy and philology
are two sides of the same objective coin - the one corresponding to the outer
light, the other to the inner light.
893. Theology and theosophy
are two sides of the same subjective coin - the one corresponding to the outer
spirit, the other to the inner spirit.
894. From
the outer light of philosophy to the inner spirit of theosophy via the outer
spirit of theology and the inner light of philology.
895. Whereas the outer light
(the Clear Light of the Void) is centrifugally objective, the inner light (the
Unclear Light of Heaven) is centripetally objective.
896. Whereas the outer spirit
(the Unholy Spirit of the Void) is centrifugally subjective, the inner spirit
(the Holy Spirit of Heaven) is centripetally subjective.
897. The
centrifugal objectivity of the outer light is explosive, while the centripetal
objectivity of the inner light is implosive.
898. The centrifugal
subjectivity of the outer spirit is expressive, while the centripetal
subjectivity of the inner spirit is impressive.
899. Outer light, being
explosive, is evil light, whereas inner light, being implosive, is good light.
900. Outer spirit, being
expressive, is evil spirit, whereas inner spirit, being impressive, is good
spirit.
