IMMANENCE AND TRANSCENDENCE
1. It is
often held that God is both immanent and transcendent, but such a belief would
not hold with my philosophy, which distinguishes between primary and secondary
orders of God, or godliness, in relation to the metaphysical self (ego) and
not-self (will), with particular emphasis upon the inner, or sensible, context
of metaphysics, wherein both primary and secondary gods are wise.
2. Hence
where wise gods are concerned, one can certainly distinguish, as I do, between
a primary God and a secondary God, the former of the self egocentrically or,
rather, egoistically (since consciousness is directed towards subconscious
enhancement of self via both unconscious and superconscious
assistance from the relevant not-self), and the latter of the not-self
instinctively, which is to say in terms of will. But this is not equivalent to a distinction
between immanence and transcendence. For
how can the not-self transcend the self?
3. Rather is it the case that godliness is immanent on both
primary and secondary terms, as God-the-Son in egoistic selfhood and as
God-the-Father in instinctive not-selfhood, both of which are equally or, at
any rate, unequally immanent.
4. The
distinction between immanence and transcendence is not therefore between one
type of God and another, 'the Son' and 'the Father' as interpreted by me in
relation to inner metaphysics, but rather between God and Heaven, the latter of
which transcends, i.e. goes beyond, the former, whether on primary or on
secondary terms.
5. Hence
the Holy Spirit of Heaven transcends the Wise Will of God-the-Father in the
secondary context of God and Heaven, as the breath transcends the lungs, being
their raison d'être and
redemption.
6. Likewise
the Holy Soul of Heaven transcends the Wise Ego of God-the-Son in the primary context
of God and Heaven, as the inner metaphysical soul transcends the inner
metaphysical ego, being its raison d'être and redemption.
7. Heaven
is therefore the transcendence of God, whether in relation to the inner
metaphysical not-self or to the inner metaphysical self, for wisdom is redeemed
in holiness, as joy vindicates truth.
8. The
ego that, become conscious of the breathing process through transcendental
meditation, puts itself through the will and the spirit of the inner
metaphysical not-self is redeemed in the soul-of-souls, the per se manifestation of soul, which is
commensurate with a primary order of transcendence.
9. The breath that flows from out the lungs, as inner
metaphysical spirit from inner metaphysical will, the Holy Spirit from 'the
Father', is commensurate with a secondary order of transcendence, since it is
germane to a secondary immanence.
10. Both
the secondary immanence of God-the-Father and the secondary transcendence ... of
the Holy Spirit of Heaven are means for the primary immanence ... of
God-the-Son to achieve the primary transcendence ... of the Holy Soul of
Heaven, which is the transcendence-of-transcendences
and heaven-of-heavens.
11. One
meditates, as a primary God, in order to achieve resurrection of the self from
ego to soul, thereby enhancing the self in terms of its attainment, on a
cyclical basis, to primary Heaven.
12. This
is the ultimate self-interest, the ultimate egoism (as especially applicable to
males of a metaphysical disposition), the Wise Ego of God-the-Son destined to
be eclipsed by the Holy Soul of Heaven as the inner metaphysical self
consciously utilizes both the unconscious will and the superconscious
spirit of the inner metaphysical not-self (the Wise Will of God-the-Father and
the Holy Spirit of Heaven) for purposes of self-transmutation from godly
immanence to heavenly transcendence of that immanence, which is the redemption
of ego in soulful resurrection of that which is primary.
