CYCLE THIRTY-EIGHT
1. FROM TIME TO SPACE. To devolve from the Time of supernature to the Mass of nature, as from the superfeminine to the feminine, but to evolve from the
Volume of culture to the Space of superculture, as
from the masculine to the supermasculine. Thus to devolve, relative to the overall
brain, from the Time of backbrain doing (reading) to
the Mass of right-midbrain giving (speaking), but to evolve from the Volume of
left-midbrain taking (writing) to the Space of forebrain being (thinking). Likewise, to devolve, relative to the total
body, from the Time of the heart's passion to the Mass of the flesh's
sensuality, but to evolve from the Volume of the brain's intellectuality to the
Space of the lungs' spirituality.
2. TIME/MASS VERSES
VOLUME/SPACE. Emotionality, or love,
leads to sensuality, or sex, as surely as intellectuality, or cogitation, to
spirituality, or contemplation. We can
no more evolve from Mass to Space than ... devolve from Volume to Time. Time and Mass stand apart from Volume and
Space like the State, both autocratic and democratic, from the Church, both
theocratic and meritocratic. There is a
3. ANTIQUATED
TRADITIONS. Strictly speaking, the
Church is only posterior to the Kingdom, the autocratic State, since it is
rooted in the Father and thus reflects the religious equivalent of autocratic
tyranny, in which the People are effectively subjects of a ruling God, and are
therefore less than truly free; indeed, are really enslaved to this 'Creator
God' who pre-dates kings and royals generally.
Even Christ is depicted merely as an extension of the Father, Whose
mission it was to bring humanity closer to 'His Father' and thus, by
implication, to lock them into a cosmological order, an order over which the
Creator presides. Fortunately, there is
a lot more to the Church than that! But
that is the root from which Christianity sprang, and such a root goes all the
way back to Judaic tradition in the Old Testament. In short, the Church is itself locked into
the Bible to such an extent ... that it is at times synonymous with Judaic Superheathenism, with a cosmological religion or, more
correctly, pseudo-religion whose 'Kingdom', more literal than metaphorical
here, is assuredly 'Without' rather than 'Within'. That is what makes the Church such an
unattractive proposition for the majority of intelligent people in so-called
Christian countries, whose self-respect is so blatantly undermined not only by
Biblical primitivity, but by the whole tradition of
Christian adherence to the Bible. For
what is the Bible but a history of
the ancient Hebrews, and thus an account, in allegorical or other form, of
certain people, events, teachings, etc., from - Greek and Roman exceptions
notwithstanding - a largely Jewish point-of-view? What relevance can the Bible possibly have to
intelligent North Europeans living in a vastly different environment, climate, culture,
and age from the Jews of 2000 or more years ago? Isn't it patently obvious that such a Book
will be more of a burden than a blessing, a detraction,
in its antiquated irrelevance, from the dignity of modern freedom-loving
men? How can one possibly take seriously
a Book treating of swords and spears, kings and princes, warriors and
shepherds, robes and sandals, tabernacles and scrolls, oxen and ploughshares,
chariots and bowmen, etc., etc. in this day and age? And why should a North European people like,
say, the Irish ... have to countenance a Book largely composed by and about
Jews, when they could have their own religious culture and a range of more
contemporary writings which would speak directly to them, encouraging them to
abandon theology for theosophy? Doesn't
the existence of the Bible as the Book of Christendom's official religion
detract from native culture and self-determination, making people overly
deferential to traditions which have no bearing whatsoever on their own
country? Surely now is the time to do
away with such a Book in the interests of a resurrection to better things, to
writings such as these, which I would prefer people to read via compact
floppies and/or discs so as to be rid of the crass materialism and 'squareness' of books once and for all! Surely now is the time to make a clean break
with the past, with Bibles and Fathers, churches and priests, crucifixes and
statues, in order to achieve salvation in and through Social Transcendentalism,
abandoning the Church for the Centre?
Surely now is the time of Judgement!
4. PLATFORM OF
LIBERATION. If the Church is posterior
to the Kingdom, or autocratic State, then the republican, or democratic, State
is posterior to the Church, not as a new omega, no! (for the Church is still
effectively omega in relation to the Kingdom, and this despite appearances and
traditions to the contrary), but as a new alpha, a sort of liberal super-alpha
which, embodying false progress, should permit of a super-omega, or Superchurch, if the People so decide. For granted the opportunity to vote for
religious sovereignty through he who proclaims himself in Messianic terms, the
architect of Social Transcendentalism, the People could thereby achieve
deliverance not only from the World (of their republican 'sins', or secular
sovereignties), but from those fundamentalist aspects of the Church which smack
of cosmological and natural determinism, the whole ethos of Creator-oriented
subjection and self-abasement. For until
the People throw off the yoke of cosmological determinism, they will not enter
into that freedom of the (Social Transcendentalist) Beyond, wherein one is
one's own God in the blessed salvation of the Holy Spirit of Heaven. The
