CYCLE TWO

1. HEATHEN AND SUPERHEATHEN. Compared to the Heathen deities of the Mother, the Son, and the Father, the Old Testament deities of Jehovah and Satan are Superheathen, since of a noumenal rather than a phenomenal constitution. Both categories of deity alike, however, are opposed to Christianity - the former relatively and the latter, rooted in the Cosmos, absolutely.

2. CHRISTIAN AND SUPERCHRISTIAN. Compared to the Christian deities of the Blessed Virgin, the Christ Child, and the Holy Ghost, the Social Transcendentalist deities of the Mary Child, the Second Coming, and the Holy Spirit of Heaven are Superchristian, since of a noumenal rather than a phenomenal constitution. Both categories of Christianity alike, however, are opposed to Heathenism - the former relatively and the latter, centred in theosophical gnosticism, absolutely.

3. INCOMMENSURABLES. Just as Christianity is the principal enemy of Heathenism, so Superchristianity is - or will be - the principal enemy of Superheathenism. The Holy Ghost can no more abide the Father ... than the Holy Spirit of Heaven abide the Clear Light of the Void. Theology excludes philosophy, no less than theosophy excludes cosmology. The Christian Superman excludes the Heathen Subman, while the Superchristian Superman excludes the Superheathen Superwoman.

4. PSEUDO VIS-À-VIS GENUINE. Although they may pose as Christians and even consider themselves in a Christian light, Protestants are really Heathens, for whom the Mother of maternal sin, the Son of intellectual crime, and the Father of emotional punishment are the Antideities within whose vicious circle they revolve, as upon a wheel of perpetual suffering. Hence Protestantism should be regarded as pseudo-Christian, and its adherents as victims of a Heathen heresy, the heresy (from a Christian standpoint) of regarding the World as an end-in-itself, the be-all-and-end-all of mundane life. Only Catholicism, with its doctrine of the sinfulness of worldly life and promise of salvation, through Christ, to a realm beyond worldly attachments, can be regarded as genuinely Christian, and Christian are Catholics whose World-denial, through the Blessed Virgin, paves the way, via Christ, for the resurrection to spiritual salvation in the Holy Ghost. In effect, Heathenism subscribes to the domination of women over men, or of mothers over sons and fathers, whereas Christianity subscribes, by contrast, to the ascendancy of men (become supermen) over women (become subwomen) in what is effectively a dichotomy between Heaven and Hell. Hence whereas the Heathen per se is a woman in her maternal element, the Christian per se is a superman for whom the Holy Ghost is the paradisiacal reward for his prayerful preparations. Thus the Heathen is characterized by the rule of beauty, and the Christian, in contrast, by the rule of truth.

5. SUPER-PSEUDO VIS-À-VIS SUPER-GENUINE. Now what applies to Heathens and Christians, viz. Protestants and Catholics, applies even more to their Superheathen and Superchristian counterparts, like mystics and gnostics, or idealists and transcendentalists, where we are concerned with a distinction, amounting to alpha and omega, between illusion and truth or, more specifically, Superillusion and Supertruth, the one affiliated to the Clear Light of the Void, the other to the Holy Spirit of Heaven. Clearly, religions rooted in the Light, especially the cosmological light of stellar primacy, are less genuine than pseudo, and we may call their adherents pseudo-transcendentalists for having confounded alpha with omega, light with the spirit, and dragged religion back to the pseudo-spiritual idealism of 'cosmic consciousness'. Such a Superheathen tendency is as far removed from the Superchristian salvation ... of the Holy Spirit of Heaven ... as it is religiously possible to be, since it leads not to supreme being in joyful lightness, but to primal being in woeful brightness, the brightness of Superillusion as opposed to the lightness of Supertruth. The adherents of such a negative fate are effectively superfeminine, given, through optical delusions of a Zen-like character, to a psychic vacuum, and for them there is no hope of a better world to come. They have made their peace (if that's the right word) with the devil of cosmic nihilism, and now they rot away, in sordid isolation, from all that is good and holy. We must leave them to their Superhell, as we concentrate our energies on the Superheaven that is our life's true goal!
