101. Just as vegetation leads to air, as nature to
culture, or sin to grace, so, by a like token, unholiness leads to holiness.
102. To contrast the unclearness of fire with the
clearness of water, as one would contrast devility
(superfemininity/subfemininity) with femininity.
103. To contrast the unholiness of vegetation with
the holiness of air, as one would contrast masculinity with divinity
(submasculinity/supermasulinity).
104. To contrast the unclearness of materialism with
the clearness of realism, but the unholiness of naturalism with the holiness of
idealism.
105. The Devil pertains not to unholiness but to
unclearness, which has reference to the space-time continuum of 'falling fire'.
106. That which pertains to unholiness, on the
contrary, is a masculine precondition of holiness, the holiness of 'rising
air'.
107. Clearness, which is feminine, has reference to
the volume-mass continuum of 'falling water', and thus stands in a superior
relationship to the unclearness of 'falling fire'.
108. Unholiness, which is masculine, has reference
to the mass-volume continuum of 'rising vegetation', and thus stands in an
inferior relationship to the holiness of 'rising air'.
109. To contrast the unclearness of space-time
materialism with the holiness of time-space idealism, as one would contrast
primal/supreme doing with primal/supreme being.
110. To contrast the clearness of volume-mass
realism with the unholiness of mass-volume naturalism, as one would contrast
primal/supreme giving with primal/supreme taking.
111. Clearness has the feminine advantage over
unholiness of being a redeemed mode of objectivity, as opposed to an unredeemed
mode of subjectivity. Nonetheless, it
cannot be maintained, with any logical credibility, that clearness is superior
to unholiness.
112. Likewise it cannot be argued that femininity is
superior to masculinity, since superiority can only be established on the basis
of comparison with that to which it is a redemption.
113. Hence while femininity is most definitely
superior to devility, it is simply contrary to masculinity, or that which is
inferior to divinity.
114. I hold that, morally speaking, it is better to
be masculine than feminine because masculinity can lead, in its unholiness, to
divinity, as vegetation to air, and there is nothing superior to that (except
it be the sublimity of Heaven itself).
115. From the unclearness of Hell/the Devil to the
holiness of God/Heaven via the clearness of purgatory/woman and the unholiness
of man/earth.
116. To fall, in space-time, from the unclear fire
of outer hell to the unclear soul of inner hell, as from eyes to heart, light
to blood.
117. To rise, in time-space, from the holy air of
outer heaven to the holy spirit of inner heaven, as from ears to lungs, sound
to breath.
118. To fall, in volume-mass, from the clear water
of outer purgatory to the clear id of inner purgatory, as from tongue to womb,
spittle to pregnancy.
119. To rise, in mass-volume, from the unholy
vegetation of outer earth to the unholy mind of inner earth, as from phallus to
brain, sex to thought (prayer).
120. To descend, in spatial space, from the unclear
fiery fire of scientific outer hell to the unclear airy fire of religious outer
hell via the unclear watery fire of political outer hell and the unclear
vegetative fire of economic outer hell.
121. To descend, in repetitive time, from the
unclear emotional soul of scientific inner hell to the unclear spiritual soul
of religious inner hell via the unclear instinctual soul of political inner
hell and the unclear intellectual soul of economic inner hell.
122. To ascend, in sequential time, from the holy
fiery air of scientific outer heaven to the holy airy air of religious outer heaven
via the holy watery air of political outer heaven and the holy vegetative air
of economic outer heaven.
123. To ascend, in spaced space, from the holy
emotional spirit of scientific inner heaven to the holy spiritual spirit of
religious inner heaven via the holy instinctual spirit of political inner
heaven and the holy intellectual spirit of economic inner heaven.
124. To descend, in volumetric volume, from the
clear fiery water of scientific outer purgatory to the clear airy water of
religious outer purgatory via the clear watery water of political outer
purgatory and the clear vegetative water of economic outer purgatory.
125. To descend, in massed mass, from the clear
emotional id of scientific inner purgatory to the clear spiritual id of religious
inner purgatory via the clear instinctual id of political inner purgatory and
the clear intellectual id of economic inner purgatory.
126. To ascend, in massive mass, from the unholy
fiery vegetation of scientific outer earth to the unholy airy vegetation of
religious outer earth via the unholy watery vegetation of political outer earth
and the unholy vegetative vegetation of economic outer earth.
127. To ascend, in voluminous volume, from the
unholy emotional mind of scientific inner earth to the unholy spiritual mind of
religious inner earth via the unholy instinctual mind of political inner earth
and the unholy intellectual mind of economic inner earth.
128. Both 'the clear' and 'the holy' know right from
wrong, but they know it in contrary ways.
129. 'The clear' know right from wrong objectively,
and stigmatize, as criminal, the wrong.
130. 'The holy' know right from wrong subjectively,
and stigmatize, as sinful, the wrong.
131. Hence there are two kinds of right and wrong -
the objective kind which appertains to crime and punishment, and the subjective
kind which appertains to sin and grace.
132. Those who cannot tell right from wrong
objectively ... are the barbarous, for whom the Devil is Lord.
133. Those who cannot tell right from wrong subjectively
... are the philistine, for whom man is lord.
134. From the standpoint of civility, and thus
society, barbarity, or untrammelled unnaturalism, is wrong, and therefore
something required to be punished as crime.
135. From the standpoint of culture, and thus the
individual, philistinism, or untrammelled naturalism, is wrong, and therefore
something required to be confessed to as sin.
136. Culture, being subjective, requires a
subjective confession of wrong by the penitent, whereas civility, being objective,
strives to punish, through justice, criminal wrongdoing, which it correctly
regards as an objective threat to society.
137. In fact, both culture and nature are
subjective, and therefore it behoves the cultural person guilty of unholy
behaviour to personally and voluntarily confess his sins.
138. By contrast, the objectivity of barbarity and
civility leads to a situation in which the civil party has to determine the
guilt of the alleged criminal, who is 'innocent until proven guilty'.
139. A barbarous society that aped justice would
turn objectivity upon its head, making a person 'guilty until proven innocent'.
140. In a civil society, however, the onus is on the
civil authorities to prove the guilt of the alleged criminal. For civility is obliged to determine and then
punish objective wrongdoing (crime).
141. Culture, on the other hand, is disposed to
determine and then forgive subjective wrongdoing (sin), which it is up to the
cultural individual to confess to, thereby re-establishing a graceful
accommodation with divinity.
142. With the out-and-out philistine, by contrast,
there is no sense of sin, and therefore no possibility of confessional
penitence for subjective wrongdoing.
143. The unredeemed philistine is a creature of
nature who is incapable, in his complacent masculinity, of ascending towards
God on wings of atonement for phenomenal self-indulgence.
144. The philistine falls as short of the cultural
... as the barbarian of the civilized, since neither is prepared to acknowledge
the culpability of what they take/do.
145. Just as barbarity stretches from eyes to heart
in the fieriness of space-time, so philistinism stretches from phallus to brain
in the vegetativeness of mass-volume.
146. Hence, generally speaking, one is as unclear in
repetitive time as in spatial space, and as unholy in voluminous volume as in
massive mass, even if from the standpoint of sensibility rather than
sensuality.
147. Of course, one could argue, with some
justification, that it is better to be unclear/unholy in sensibility than in
sensuality, since sensibility has reference to the inner as opposed to the
outer. Still, there is inner crime and
inner sin.
148. Just as civility stretches from tongue to womb
in the wateriness of volume-mass, so culture stretches from ears to lungs in
the airiness of time-space.
149. Hence, generally speaking, one is as clear in
volumetric volume as in massed mass, and as holy in sequential time as in
spaced space, even if from the standpoint of sensuality rather than sensibility.
150. Of course, one could argue, again with some
justification, that it is better to be clear/holy in sensibility than in
sensuality, since sensibility has reference to the inner as opposed to the
outer. Still, there is outer punishment
and outer grace.
151. To distinguish the primary nature, in
elemental/molecular particles, of unholiness and clearness from the secondary
nature, in molecular/elemental wavicles, of unholiness and holiness.
152. The unreasonable/unrighteous are fundamentally
primary, in keeping with their unconscious/unnatural dispositions, whether
noumenally or phenomenally, towards objectivity.
153. The reasonable/righteous are generally
secondary, in keeping with their conscious/natural dispositions, whether
phenomenally or noumenally, towards subjectivity.
154. Science and politics are basically primary
disciplines, which contrast with the secondary standings of economics and
religion.
155. The Devil and woman are primary entities, and
contrast with the secondary standings of man and God, as fire and water
contrast with vegetation and air.
156. Woman is only the 'second sex' in a Christian,
or reborn, age and/or society; for when, by contrast, Heathen values
predominate she is very definitely in her primary element as, to all intents
and purposes, the dominant sex.
157. The objective of a Christian/Superchristian
society is to liberate the masculine secondary element from the domination of
feminine/diabolic primary elements, so that man becomes freer of woman and
better able, in consequence, to reach an accommodation with God, either
indirectly, in masculinity, or directly, in divinity.
158. It is for the righteous sinner to stand closer
to the superrighteous graceful, as masculine to supermasculine, with the
unrighteous punisher (whose objectivity makes it difficult if not impossible
for her to 'turn the other cheek') pegged down to a largely if not exclusively
feminine standing below, where she will be less disposed to super-unrighteous
collusion with the Devil.
159. Worse than the tragedy for man is the tragedy
for God ... when woman is free to enter into relations either directly, through
crime, or indirectly, through punishment, with the Devil, whose barbarism rules
a godless roost.
160. The phenomenal objectivity of feminine
unrighteousness should become the civilized basis upon which the phenomenal
subjectivity of masculine righteousness and the noumenal subjectivity of
supermasculine super-righteousness rise up in nonconformist/transcendentalist
independence of a humanism liberated from fundamentalism.
161. A 'new purgatory', a 'new earth', and a 'new
heaven' for the triadic Beyond ... of a Superchristian liberation from the
World/Limbo and thus, more fundamentally, from Hell.
162. The unrighteous are effectively left wing,
since aligned with fire and/or water against vegetation and/or air, the
elements, by contrast, of the righteous.
163. It is logically tempting to align clearness
with righteousness and unholiness, by contrast, with unrighteousness, but this
would contradict the objective/subjective gender distinction which exists
between feminine clearness and masculine unholiness, water and vegetation.
164. Really, one has to distinguish unclear
unrighteousness from clear unrighteousness, fire from water, whilst reserving
for vegetation and air a distinction between unholy righteousness and holy
righteousness.
165. The unclear unrighteousness of fire stands to
the clear unrighteousness of water as hell to purgatory, crime to punishment,
and remains forever aligned with unconscious/unnatural objectivity.
166. The unholy righteousness of vegetation stands
to the holy righteousness of air as the earth to heaven, sin to grace, and
remains forever aligned with conscious/natural subjectivity.
167. Ultimately, the unholy righteousness of
masculine subjectivity must stand above the clear unrighteousness of feminine
objectivity ... as the earth above purgatory, in order that the holy
righteousness of supermasculine subjectivity can blossom on the sure
foundations of a phenomenally righteous precondition.
168. The best writings, the writings that express a
subjective bias, are always self-indulgent, and thus righteous. They rise from masculinity towards divinity,
as from moderate right-wing to extreme right-wing.
169. The worst writings, the writings that express
an objective bias, are always other-indulgent, and thus unrighteous. They fall from devility towards femininity,
as from extreme left-wing to moderate left-wing.
170. The unselfishness of the Extreme and/or
Moderate Left is unrighteous in its self-denying objectivity.
171. The selfishness of the Moderate and/or Extreme
Right is righteous in its self-affirming subjectivity.
172. From the unselfishness of science and politics
to the selfishness of economics and religion, as from fire and water to
vegetation and air.
173. When science and religion 'join hands' across a
noumenal gulf, one has the amorality of Limbo.
174. When politics and economics 'join hands' across
a phenomenal gulf, one has the amorality of the World.
175. Since science is in its per se
manifestation in space-time (fiery fire/emotional soul), it is 'bovaryized' in
time-space (fiery air/emotional spirit), volume-mass (fiery water/emotional
id), and mass-volume (fiery vegetation/emotional mind).
176. Since religion is in its per se
manifestation in time-space (airy air/spiritual spirit), it is 'bovaryized' in
space-time (airy fire/spiritual soul), mass-volume (airy vegetation/spiritual
mind), and volume-mass (airy water/spiritual id).
177. Since politics is in its per se
manifestation in volume-mass (watery water/instinctual id), it is 'bovaryized'
in mass-volume (watery vegetation/instinctual mind), space-time (watery
fire/instinctual soul), and time-space (watery air/instinctual spirit).
178. Since economics is in its per se
manifestation in mass-volume (vegetative vegetation/intellectual mind), it is
'bovaryized' in volume-mass (vegetative water/intellectual id), time-space
(vegetative air/intellectual spirit), and space-time (vegetative
fire/intellectual soul).
179. From the scientific per se
of fiery fire/emotional soul in space-time to the scientific 'bovaryizations'
... of fiery air/emotional spirit in time-space, fiery water/emotional id in
volume-mass, and fiery vegetation/emotional mind in mass-volume.
180. From the religious per se
of airy air/spiritual spirit in time-space to the religious 'bovaryizations'
... of airy fire/spiritual soul in space-time, airy vegetation/spiritual mind
in mass-volume, and airy water/spiritual id in volume-mass.
181. From the political per se
of watery water/instinctual id in volume-mass to the political 'bovaryizations'
... of watery vegetation/instinctual mind in mass-volume, watery
fire/instinctual soul in space-time, and watery air/instinctual spirit in
time-space.
182. From the economic per se
of vegetative vegetation/intellectual mind in mass-volume to the economic
'bovaryizations' ... of vegetative water/intellectual id in volume-mass,
vegetative air/intellectual spirit in time-space, and vegetative fire/
intellectual soul in space-time.
183. Our-Father-the-Lungs, Who reigns in Heaven;
honour to Your Name. Your Kingdom come,
Your Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily Breath and deliver us from Evil. For Yours is the Kingdom, the Power that
leads to the Glory of Heaven for ever and ever.
Amen.
184. To be religiously righteous, you need respect
for the air. Those who do not or cannot
respect the air ... are no friends of idealism.
185. Pollution of the air by traffic, industry,
tobacco, etc., betrays disrespect for the air, and by implication true
spirituality, which is fundamentally diabolical.
186. Spirituality has nothing to do with eyes or
heart. It is the ears and the lungs
which most characterize a spiritual approach to life - the one externally and
the other internally.
187. Worse than pollution of the air is pollution of
the lungs, which is nothing less than a diabolical assault upon God.
188. Smoking is effectively a thing of the Devil
which both desecrates the 'temple of the Holy Spirit' and pollutes the air one
breathes, causing both to wreak of smoke.
189. The unclear unrighteousness of smoking is often
associated with the clear unrighteousness of drinking, as though in a
tug-of-war between devility and femininity, barbarity and civility, crime and
punishment, fire and water, hell and purgatory.
190. By 'drinking' I, of course, allude to alcohol and
thus to a kind of 'drinking-for-drinking's sake' that should be sharply
differentiated from the ordinary course of drinking, in accordance with normal
fluidal requirements.
191. There is nothing manly, or masculine, about
drinking, given the feminine connotation that accrues to fluidal, and
particularly watery, substances.
192. It is more masculine to eat than to drink,
though the cultural person will only eat in moderation, disdaining the blatant
philistinism of eating to excess (gluttony).
193. If heavy smoking is symptomatic of barbarity
and heavy drinking symptomatic of civility, then heavy eating is symptomatic of
philistinism and heavy or, rather, light sniffing (as, traditionally, of snuff,
incense, etc.) symptomatic of culture.
194. Reels, jigs, and hornpipes are the musical
equivalents, it seems to me, of camogie, Gaelic football, and hurling, or the
Virgin Mary, the Christ Child, and the Holy Ghost, or, in instrumental terms,
fiddles, accordions, and uilleann pipes.
195. It is easy to associate the 'Madonna and Child'
with ordinary maternity, as though they were symbolic of family virtue. Nothing, however, could be more delusional!
196. The 'Madonna' is no ordinary mother but one
who, so we are expected to believe, was miraculously impregnated by ...
who? God as some Creator-like
Father-figure of cosmological significance.
197. Be that as it may, conception for Mary was
avowedly immaculate, and therefore evidently not to be associated with the
normal course of pregnancy.
198. Hence the 'Mother of God' or, rather, of the
'Son of God' was no ordinary mother, but one able to bring forth child without
having undergone coitus and, presumably (for this is conjecture on my part),
without having become pregnant in the usual watery fashion, since such a
condition would be purgatorial, which is to say, unrighteous.
199. Whether or not the Immaculate Conception
includes an avoidance of conventional pregnancy (there is a compelling
theological case that it should), the fact remains that the 'Madonna and Child'
are theologically significant rather than biologically so. They are not a paradigm of mother/child
symbiosis.
200. Hence it would be theologically incorrect to
make a symbol for maternal devotion out of the 'Madonna and Child', since such
devotion has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity, but is fundamentally a
humanistic and therefore heathen virtue.
