1. No two
writers are further apart than the poet and the philosopher - the former as
Devil and the latter as God.
2. The
poet is a writer of time and the philosopher, by contrast, a writer of space.
3. Musically
speaking, the poet is rooted in rhythm, while the philosopher aspires, through
thought, towards pitch.
4. The
negative, or alpha-stemming, poet is a writer of weakness, whose time (metre)
is sequential.
5. The
positive, or omega-oriented, poet is a writer of strength, whose time (metre)
is repetitive.
6. The
Satanic poet is rooted in fire, while the fundamentalist poet is centred in the
blood.
7. The
negative, or alpha-stemming, philosopher is a writer of illusion, whose space
(aphoristic) is spatial.
8. The
positive, or omega-oriented, philosopher (theosopher) is a writer of truth,
whose space (aphoristic) is spaced.
9. The
Creatoresque philosopher is rooted in light, while the transcendentalist
philosopher is centred in air.
10. A man
is destined to be either a poet or a philosopher, diabolic or divine, rather
than both.
11. The
paradoxical phenomenon of the philosophical poet owes not a little to the
debasement and even eradication of the Divine through the so-called space-time
continuum of modern science.
12. In
reality, the decadent vagaries of modern science notwithstanding, no two
absolutes could be less reconcilable than space and time, the Devil and God.
13. The
true philosopher may occasionally dabble in literature, or even drama, but he
will never be a poet.
14. For
poets and philosophers stand at opposite noumenal extremes - the former
objective and the latter subjective.
15. Novelists
and dramatists also stand in a contrary relationship, albeit one that is
phenomenal rather than noumenal.
16. To
contrast the phenomenal objectivity of the novelist with the phenomenal
subjectivity of the dramatist, the former effectively masculine and the latter
feminine.
17. The
dramatist is a doer of mass and the novelist, by contrast, a knower of volume.
18. Musically
speaking, the dramatist is rooted in harmony while the novelist aspires,
through narrative, towards melody.
19. The
negative, or alpha-stemming, dramatist is a writer of ugliness, whose mass is
massed.
20. The
positive, or omega-oriented, dramatist is a writer of beauty, whose mass is
massive.
21. The
antivirginal dramatist is rooted in earth, while the humanistic dramatist is
centred in the flesh.
22. The negative,
or alpha-stemming, novelist is a writer of evil, whose volume is volumetric.
23. The
positive, or omega-oriented, novelist is a writer of good, whose volume is
voluminous.
24. The
antichristic novelist is rooted in water, while the nonconformistic novelist is
centred in the brain.
25. A
man is generally destined to be either a dramatist or a novelist, mundane or
purgatorial, rather than both.
26. The
paradoxical phenomenon of the dramatic novelist owes not a little to the
debasement and even eradication of the mundane through what might be called the
mass-volume continuum of contemporary liberal civilization.
27. In
reality, the hegemonic predominance of liberal civilization notwithstanding, no
two relativities could be less reconcilable than volume and mass, or man and
woman.
28. The
real dramatist may occasionally dabble in poetry, but he will never be a
novelist.
29. If
the novelist, to speak rather colloquially, is a 'prick' and the dramatist a
'cunt', then the philosopher is a 'superprick' and the poet a 'supercunt'.
30. If
the novelist is nonconformistic and the dramatist, by contrast, humanistic,
then the philosopher is transcendentalistic and the poet, by contrast,
fundamentalistic.
31. Despite
the late twentieth-century collapse of so-called Communism in Eastern Europe,
Marxism remains, in some degree, a valid touchstone for future progress towards
a classless millennium.
32. The
so-called Communism, for example, of Eastern Europe was really quasi-fascist,
and thus hardly Communism by Marxist criteria!
33. True
Communism, by which is meant Social Transcendentalism, has yet to come about;
but when it does, it will be infinitely superior to the quasi-fascist tradition
of false Communism.
34. Unlike
false Communism, which was allegedly scientific, true Communism will be
religious, and thus the inevitable precondition of millennial salvation.
35. Thus
true Communism will stem from real Socialism, as Social Democracy is superseded
by Social Theocracy.
36. Where
Socialism is republican, Democratic Socialism is parliamentary, and thus an
accommodation of Socialism to Capital Democracy.
37. Democratic
Socialism is the 'socialism' of a proletariat who are less affiliated to the
World than to the Purgatorial Overworld, so to speak, of Parliamentary
Democracy.
38. Such
a proletariat are necessarily Protestant and industrial/urban, aligned with the
Protestant bourgeoisie against the World and its Catholic humanism.
39. The
struggle for genuine Socialism follows from a sort of Catholic premise; for
only Catholic peoples are sufficiently of the World to be in favour of
bureaucratic as opposed to democratic Socialism.
40. Yet
Socialism is a 'sin' from which the People must be delivered, if they are to
experience the spiritual salvation of true Communism.
41. Such
deliverance can only happen democratically, with the express consent of the
People themselves.
42. For
to be delivered from 'sins of the World' is to enter into the heavenly Beyond,
with the transvaluated criteria that such an entry presupposes.
43. Only
a deluded fool would imagine that, in any ultimate sense, the heavenly Beyond
comes after death. In reality, it comes
within life beyond the World, since it is an ultimate social system and not an
imaginary posthumous realm.
44. Yet
it is an afterlife to the extent that it implies a type of life, necessarily
eternal, beyond life as we know it in the World, as it is today and has been
for several centuries.
45. The
failure of Liberalism is its tolerance of evil.
46. Liberalism
sits on the fence between the Devil and God, content to remain in an amoral
position which enables it to have 'the best of both worlds'.
47. Not
to go against the Devil to the extent that one has sided with God, but to be worldly
or, more specifically, purgatorial - such is the liberal 'ideal'.
48. He
who is against the Devil cannot be for Liberalism, with its hypocritical
tolerance of evil.
49. The
Liberal is a morally weak creature who, because of his acquiescence in evil,
does no real good.
50. When
Social Theocracy, the ideology of God, comes democratically to pass, both
Liberalism and Fascism will be cast down upon the 'rubbish heap of history'.
51. Most
Western countries are liberal and republican, capitalist and socialist, in
different degrees.
52. Countries
balanced between Liberalism and Republicanism are effectively heterosexual.
53. Countries
biased on the side of Liberalism are effectively homosexual.
54. Countries
biased on the side of Republicanism are effectively lesbian.
55. A
country biased on the side of Republicanism, like Eire, has a greater chance of
achieving Social Theocracy than one balanced, like France, between Liberalism
and Republicanism.
56. A
country biased on the side of Liberalism, like Britain, has virtually no chance
of achieving Social Theocracy.
57. Ultimately,
Social Theocracy can only be achieved through the Second Coming, who would not
waste his time on countries with an overly liberal, or parliamentary, bias.
58. A
country must, like Eire, be largely of the World and effectively humanist
before it can hope to qualify for Social Theocratic salvation.
59. Provided
that Liberalism and/or Republicanism are not the ruling trends, there is a fair
chance that Humanism will be free enough to democratically opt for
Transcendentalism, and thus salvation from the World.
60. For
the World may be feminine, and phenomenally subjective, but the Social
Theocratic Beyond is divine, and hence noumenally subjective - focused, through
spirit, on air rather than, through will, on the flesh.
61. To
abandon the feminine 'fleshpot' of the Holy Will of the World for the divine
'airhead' of the Holy Spirit of Heaven - such is the nature of salvation.
62. No
man, or country, attains to salvation (from the World) except through the
Second Coming, who is the bridge to the Beyond.
63. Noumenal
subjectivity (subjectivism) is the absolute introversion of the heavenly.
64. Noumenal
objectivity (objectivism) is the absolute extroversion of the hellish.
65. Phenomenal
objectivity is the relative extroversion of the purgatorial.
66. Phenomenal
subjectivity is the relative introversion of the mundane.
67. The
noumenal subjectivity (wind) of Jazz contrasts with the noumenal objectivity
(singing) of Soul.
68. The
phenomenal subjectivity (dance) of Pop contrasts with the phenomenal
objectivity (instrument-based song) of Rock.
69. Jazz,
being noumenally subjective, is divine, whereas Soul, being noumenally
objective, is diabolic.
70. Pop,
being phenomenally subjective, is feminine, whereas Rock, being phenomenally
objective, is masculine.
71. Since
salvation is from the World to Heaven, one might speak of the salvation of Pop
by Jazz, or of phenomenal subjectivity (dance) by noumenal subjectivity (wind).
72. Since
damnation is from Purgatory to Hell, one might speak of the damnation of Rock
by Soul, or of phenomenal objectivity (instrument-based song) by noumenal
objectivity (free singing).
73. The purgatorial
'First' shall be hellishly Last, and the mundane 'Last' shall be heavenly
First.
74. Jazz
is the music of spirit, and could alternatively be termed spirit music.
75. Soul
is indeed the music of soul, and is rightly termed soul music.
76. Rock
is the music of intellect, and could alternatively be termed intellect music.
77. Pop
is the music of will, and could alternatively be termed will music.
78. Broadly,
Jazz, Soul, Rock, and Pop are all modern, and therefore electric, forms of
music.
79. Classical
music stands to popular music as a kind of bourgeois omega to a proletarian
alpha, the former acoustic and the latter electric.
80. Classical
music is 'contemporary' only in the sense that Christian bourgeois criteria
co-exist with and often overlap the more-or-less heathen proletarian criteria
of the modern age.
81. In
this sense, a more naturalistic omega co-exists with an artificial alpha, the
essence of which is cruder, albeit more evolved.
82. Suits
and ties co-exist, on the above basis, with jeans and T-shirts.
83. Books
co-exist, on the above basis, with films.
84. Classical
music co-exists, on the above basis, with popular music.
85. The
concerto is the classical equivalent of Jazz, that most idealistic of the
popular art forms.
86. Opera
is the classical equivalent of Soul, that most naturalistic of the popular art
forms.
87. The
symphony is the classical equivalent of Rock, that most materialistic of the
popular art forms.
88. Ballet
is the classical equivalent of Pop, that most realistic of the popular art
forms.
89. The
fulcrum of classical music, which is a bourgeois art form, is the symphony.
90. The
fulcrum of popular music, which is a proletarian art form, is Pop.
91. Classical
music is the civilized music of a materialistic class, the middle class.
92. Popular
music is the barbarous music of a realistic class, the working class.
93. The
future lies not in the barbarism of working-class music, but in the culture of
classless music.
94. Classless
music will be like Jazz, but more electronic.
95. To
distinguish, on an alpha/omega basis, between the 'republicanism' of Hard Pop
and the 'humanism' of Soft Pop.
96. Similarly,
to distinguish between the 'parliamentarianism' of Hard Rock and the
'nonconformism' of Soft Rock.
97. Likewise,
to distinguish between the 'fascism' of Hard Soul and the 'fundamentalism' of
Soft Soul.
98. To
distinguish, finally, between the 'communism' of Hard Jazz and the
'transcendentalism' of Soft Jazz.
99. Hard
music differs from soft music by being both more reactive and aggressive.
100. Soft
music differs from hard music by being both more attractive and passive.
101. Where
hard music is generally reactive and aggressive, soft music, by contrast, is
generally attractive and passive (gentle).
102. Not
only Hard Rock, but Hard Pop, Hard Soul, and Hard Jazz are all more aggressive
than their soft-pole counterparts.
103. Most
people alternate between hard and soft options, as between particles and
wavicles, the former secular and the latter religious.
104. Some
people are more biased towards hard music, others towards soft music, but they
tend to be a minority overall.
105. A
hard-line Communist, whose musical equivalence is Hard Jazz, may be identified
with a leading-class status.
106. A
hard-line Transcendentalist, whose musical equivalence is Soft Jazz, may be
identified with a classless status.
107. Hence
a leading-class/classless distinction between the alpha and omega of the Jazz
spectrum.
108. A
hard-line Fascist, whose musical equivalence is Hard Soul, may be identified
with a ruling-class status.
109. A
hard-line Fundamentalist, whose musical equivalence is Soft Soul, may be
identified with an upper-class status.
110. Hence
a ruling-class/upper-class distinction between the alpha and omega of the Soul
spectrum.
111. A
hard-line Parliamentarian, whose musical equivalence is Hard Rock, may be
identified with a governmental and/or managerial class status.
112. A hard-line
Nonconformist, whose musical equivalence is Soft Rock, may be identified with a
middle-class status.
113. Hence
a governing-class/middle-class distinction between the alpha and omega of the
Rock spectrum.
114. A
hard-line Republican, whose musical equivalence is Hard Pop, may be identified
with a working-class status.
115. A
hard-line Humanist, whose musical equivalence is Soft Pop, may be identified
with a lower-class status.
116. Hence
a working-class/lower-class distinction between the alpha and omega of the Pop
spectrum.
117. The
lower class, including soft-line lower-class people, are the only class that
can be saved to hard-line Transcendentalism, which is classless.
118. This
is because the lower class are of the humanist World (as against the republican
World or, more correctly, Antiworld), and are therefore in a moral position to
be saved by and in the transcendentalist Heaven.
119. Their
moral position is one of wavicle-biased (attractive) phenomenal subjectivity,
which is an effective denial of the will through the Blessed Virgin, and which
can therefore be transcended, via the Second Coming, in the wavicle-biased
(attractive) noumenal subjectivity of the transcendental Beyond.
120. To
distinguish the positively relative morality of denial of the will from the
negatively relative morality of affirmation of the will, thereby effectively
distinguishing Humanism from its republican antithesis.
121. To
distinguish the positively relative immorality of denial of the intellect from
the negatively relative immorality of affirmation of the intellect, thereby
effectively distinguishing Nonconformism from its parliamentary antithesis.
122. To
distinguish the positively absolute immorality of denial of the soul from the
negatively absolute immorality of affirmation of the soul, thereby effectively
distinguishing Fundamentalism from its fascist antithesis.
123. To
distinguish the positively absolute morality of denial of the spirit from the
negatively absolute morality of affirmation of the spirit, thereby effectively
distinguishing Transcendentalism from its communist antithesis.
124. Denial
of the will through the Blessed Virgin, as opposed to affirmation of the will
through the Cursed Whore.
125. Denial
of the intellect through Christ, as opposed to affirmation of the intellect
through the Antichrist.
126. Denial
of the soul through the Father, as opposed to affirmation of the soul through
the Antifather (Satan).
127. Denial
of the spirit through the Holy Spirit, as opposed to affirmation of the spirit
through the Antispirit (Jehovah).
128. Flesh
is the human equivalent of earth, the denial of which paves the way to Heaven.
129. Mind
is the human equivalent of water, the denial of which paves the way to Hell.
130. Soul
is the human equivalent of fire, the denial of which is Hell.
131. Spirit
is the human equivalent of light, the denial of which is Heaven.
132. To
deny the flesh is to affirm beauty.
133. To
deny the mind is to affirm goodness.
134. To
deny the soul is to affirm strength.
135. To
deny the spirit is to affirm truth.
136. To
affirm the flesh is to deny beauty, and thus to revel in ugliness.
137. To
affirm the mind is to deny goodness, and thus to revel in evil.
138. To affirm
the soul is to deny strength, and thus to revel in weakness.
139. To
affirm the spirit is to deny truth, and thus to revel in illusion.
140. Ugliness,
being planar (planetary), is of earth.
141. Evil,
being lunar, is of water.
142. Weakness,
being solar, is of fire.
143. Illusion,
being stellar, is of light.
144. Beauty,
being mundane, is of the World.
145. Goodness,
being purgatorial, is of the Overworld.
146. Strength,
being diabolic, is of Hell.
147. Truth,
being divine, is of Heaven.
148. To
deny the alpha, which is apparent, is to affirm the omega, which is essential.
149. To
deny light (spirit) in order to affirm truth (air).
150. To
deny fire (soul) in order to affirm strength (race).
151. To deny
water (intellect) in order to affirm goodness (the Bible).
152. To
deny earth (flesh) in order to affirm beauty (art).
153. Truth
is affirmed through the sublimated spirit of air.
154. Strength
is affirmed through the sublimated soul of blood.
155. Goodness
is affirmed through the sublimated intellect of the Word (New Testament).
156. Beauty
is affirmed through the sublimated flesh of art.
157. To
deny the personal spirit of light (optics) in order to affirm the universal
spirit of air, thereby passing from illusion (the Clear Light of the Void) to
truth (the Holy Spirit of Heaven).
158. To
deny the personal soul of fire (emotions) in order to affirm the universal soul
of blood (race), thereby passing from weakness (the Clear Heat of Time) to strength
(the Holy Soul of Hell).
159. To
deny the personal mind of water (thoughts) in order to affirm the universal
mind of the Bible (New Testament), thereby passing from evil (the Clear
Coldness of Volume) to goodness (the Holy Mind of Purgatory).
160. To
deny the personal will of earth (fleshy sensations) in order to affirm the
universal will of art (paintings), thereby passing from ugliness (the Clear
Darkness of Mass) to beauty (the Holy Will of the World).
161. That
which is universal, on whichever spectrum, is shared by all, and brings people
together.
162. That
which is personal, on whichever spectrum, is germane to the person, and tends
to drive people apart.
163. The
universal enhances collectivity/collectivism, whereas the personal enhances individuality/individualism.
164. Whether
one's universality is phenomenal or noumenal, the end result can only be
virtuous.
165. Whether
one's personality is phenomenal or noumenal, the consequence can only be
vicious.
166. Phenomenal
universality, being positive, is relatively immoral in the context of goodness,
and relatively moral in the context of beauty.
167. Noumenal
universality, being positive, is absolutely immoral in the context of strength,
and absolutely moral in the context of truth.
168. Phenomenal
personality, being negative, is relatively immoral in the context of evil, and
relatively moral in the context of ugliness.
169. Noumenal
personality, being negative, is absolutely immoral in the context of weakness,
and absolutely moral in the context of illusion.
170. Individuality/individualism
is the curse of personality, whereas collectivity/collectivism is the blessing
of universality.
171. The
personality of the Devil, which (being absolutist) is hellish, contrasts absolutely
with the universality of God.
172. The
personality of Man, which (being relativistic) is purgatorial, contrasts
relatively with the universality of Woman.
173. From
the standpoint of subjective universality, objective universality is a
damnation - whether relatively vis-à-vis the phenomenal or absolutely vis-à-vis
the noumenal.
174. Denial
of the will (sexuality) through art paves the way for salvation in and through
air.
175. Denial
of the mind (intellectuality) through the Bible (New Testament) paves the way
for damnation in and through the blood.
176. The
noumenal lies in wait to take over from phenomenal denial, since the noumenal
is absolute, and hence ultimate.
177. Art
has no other business than to encourage worldly denial, i.e. denial of the
will.
178. That
which encourages the will is not art but anti-art.
179. Traditionally,
the Blessed Virgin is the principal symbol of worldly denial, since beauty
makes for the finest art.
180. From the
male standpoint, the Crucifixion remains the most enduring symbol of worldly
denial - a denial of the will through love.
181. Christian
love paves the way for the Resurrection, and hence the attainment of
transcendent joy through the affirmation of universal spirit, or air.
182. Until
a man has died to the flesh, he cannot be reborn into the eternity of the
universal self and thereby become the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
183. The
lightness of air can only deliver that man from the heaviness of the flesh who
has already rejected the World and effectively become an artist.
184. For
the artist is the quintessential embodiment of worldly rejection, who both
rejects and is rejected by the World.
185. Those
who are of the World, and hence the flesh, cannot be saved; for they are too
sunk in heaviness to appreciate art.
186. It is
not the Blessed Virgin but the Cursed Whore who presides over the wilful
affirmations of these sinners, the ugliness of whose anti-art is rooted in
pain.
187. Traditionally,
the Christian West has known two Heavens and two Hells - the Heaven and Hell of
the Old Testament on the one hand, and the Heaven and Hell of the New Testament
on the other hand.
188. The
Heaven of the Old Testament is the cosmic abode of Jehovah, whereas its Hell is
the solar (fiery) abode of Satan.
189. The
Heaven of the New Testament is the airy abode of Christ, whereas its Hell is
effectively the fleshy abode of the Magdalene.
190. Hence
Western civilization was torn between the cosmic dichotomy of Old-Testament
Judaism and its own rather more worldly dichotomy of New-Testament Christianity
- superimposing upon oriental tradition an occidental modernism which, for most
Western people, is still the touchstone of damnation and salvation.
191. The
ultimate Christian Hell is of course the fiery core of the Earth which, as the
centre of earthly gravity, contrasts with the airy lightness of the
stratosphere.
192. Between
the Christian absolutes of fiery Hell and airy Heaven, Western man runs his diurnal
course, torn rather more between the breath of 'Heaven on Earth' and the flesh
(sex) of 'Hell on Earth'.
193. The
Romantic may affirm the fleshy 'Hell on Earth' of sexual will, but the
Classicist denies it in the name of beauty, and hence art.
194. Classicism
remains on the aesthetic surface, whereas Romanticism delves beneath the
surface in pursuit of fiery depths, thereby disinterring Hell.
195. The
Romanticist, who is an anti-artist, can never be saved; for he is sunk too
deeply in the heaviness of fleshy and/or fiery pain to have any inkling of
worldly rejection.
196. The
Romanticist is a republican phenomenon whose hellish activity contrasts with
the will-less passivity of the (Catholic) Classicist.
197. Both
Romanticism and Classicism are New Testament phenomena, with particular
reference to the World.
198. Expressionism
and Impressionism, by contrast, are effectively Old Testament noumena, since
they are rooted in the emotions (heat) and in the spirit (light) respectively.
199. There
is thus something Neo-Oriental or Neo-Judaic about Expressionism and
Impressionism, albeit relative to the decadence of Western civilization.
200. The
Expressionist is aligned with the Romanticist, and the Impressionist with the
Classicist.
