SOME GENERAL IDEAS

1. Afterlife: Progression from 'Heaven' to 'Hell' ... as from 'Light' to 'Darkness'. For the light of the self, the soul, must fade in the course of posthumous time (Eternity), whereupon the darkness of extensive decomposition comes to pass.

2. Music: Gender splits - masculine and feminine - across all the elements, viz. fire, water, vegetation (earth) and air. For example, Blues (masculine) and Jazz (feminine) within fire; Rock (masculine) and Pop (feminine) within water; Classical (masculine) and Romantic (feminine) within vegetation; Gospel (masculine) and Soul (feminine) and/or Trad (masculine) and Folk (feminine) within air.

3. Individualism vis-à-vis Collectivism: Gender distinction between the objectivity of freedom (rooted in a vacuum) and the subjectivity of binding (centred in a plenum). Therefore freedom of the individual (from the self) vis-à-vis binding of the individual (to the self) as a female/male distinction.

4. Morality: Indirect (female) and direct (male), both germane to sensibility according to conventional gender distinctions, i.e. the fire and water of female objectivity, as against the vegetation and air of male subjectivity.

5. Immorality: Direct (female) and indirect (male), both germane to sensuality according to conventional gender distinctions, as above.

6. Public vis-à-vis private is equivalent to sensuality vis-à-vis sensibility, whether objective (and female) or subjective (and male).

7. Freedom of the (female) individual from the self and/or for the not-self, relative to fire and water, tends to result in enslavement of the (male) individual to the (female) not-self, whereas binding of the (male) individual to the self tends to result in deliverance of the (female) individual from the not-self.

8. Freedom and enslavement are two manifestations (female and male) of the public aspect of things, whereas binding and deliverance are two manifestations (male and female) of the private aspect of things.

9. The blessing of freedom (for females), as against the curse of enslavement (for males) in sensuality, but the salvation of binding (for males), as against the damnation of deliverance (for females)) via sensibility.

10. The male is cursed when his self is enslaved, in sensuality, to the female not-self, whereas the female is damned when her not-self is so constrained, in sensibility, as to render her deferential to the male self.

11. Collectivism comes in between individualism as molecular particles/wavicles in between elemental particles/wavicles, i.e. elemental particles (ruling, or scientific, individualism); molecular particles (ruling, or political, collectivism); molecular wavicles (leading, or economic, collectivism); elemental wavicles (leading, or religious, individualism).

12. Hence collectivism and individualism can be either public or private, sensual or sensible, outer or inner.
