CYCLE THIRTY-FIVE

1. ONE TRUE SALVATION. There is only one true salvation, and that is through the Second Coming to the theosophical gnosis of the Holy Spirit of Heaven, wherein Eternity is revealed. He who abandons the Church for the Centre abandons Christ or, more correctly, the Christ Child for the Second Coming, and the Holy Ghost for the Holy Spirit of Heaven. He passes from the phenomenal realm of subjective selfishness to the noumenal realm of objective selfishness, exchanging the personal for the universal.

2. COLLECTIVISM AND INDIVIDUALISM. Whereas the individual exists to be subsumed into the collective in the barbarous framework of the State, the collective exists to further the interests of the individual in the civilized framework of the Church. Thus whereas the individual exists for the collective, viz. the State, in the one context, the collective, viz. the Church, exists for the individual in the other context. Yet where there is both State and Church, this means that the individual is torn between opposing interests and is unable, in consequence, to regard himself/his self exclusively in either light. One part of society, viz. the State, claims him for the collective, while the other part of it, viz. the Church, strives to liberate him as an individual. Thus he is neither 'fish nor fowl', but a relativistic chimera who alternates between collectivism and individualism. Only in the absolutely barbarous context of the authoritarian and/or totalitarian State on the one hand, and in the absolutely civilized context of the Social Transcendentalist Centre (of 'Kingdom Come') on the other, will he be wholly one thing or another, i.e. either totally subsumed into the collective in the supernatural superfeminism of the former or, by contrast, totally liberated from the collective in the supercultural supermasculinism of the latter, wherein he is saved to his self in the most complete individualism of the Holy Spirit of Heaven.

3. FROM KINGDOM TO CENTRE. When society functions, through the State, as an organism, the individual is subsumed into the collective, whether absolutely or relatively (depending on the type of State), and accordingly loses his soul, his individuality, to its supernatural and/or natural determinism. When, by contrast, society functions, through the Church, as an organization, the individual is liberated from the collective, whether relatively or absolutely (depending on the type of church), and accordingly finds his soul, his individuality, through cultural and/or supercultural self-determination. Consequently we can distinguish, on the one hand, between the absolute collectivism of the Devil, viz. the authoritarian and/or totalitarian State, and the relative collectivism of woman, viz. the parliamentary and/or republican State, while likewise distinguishing, on the other hand, between the relative individualism of man, viz. the Catholic Church, and the absolute individualism of God, viz. the transcendental 'Church' or, rather, Centre, in which religious evolution attains to a theosophical apotheosis. Such a Centre may not have existed in the past, but its coming is as inevitable as that of the Messianic writer who pens these lines in the hope that, one day, Christian humanity will join him in setting up the Centre and thereby acquiring the right, through religious sovereignty, to develop the spiritual self in the interests of the most perfect individualism - the individualism not of man but of the Superman, who will be One with the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
