1. Moral
absolutely are the free in metaphysical ego, for theirs is the truth of God the
Father.
2. Saved
absolutely are the free in metaphysical soul, for theirs is the joy of Heaven
the Holy Soul.
3. Virtuous
absolutely are the bound in metaphysical will (antiwill), for theirs is the
truthful approach to beauty of the Son of God.
4. Blessed
absolutely are the bound in metaphysical spirit (antispirit), for theirs is the
joyful approach to love of the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
5. Moral
absolutely are the free in antimetachemical ego, for theirs is the beautiful
approach to truth of the Antidaughter of the Antidevil.
6. Saved
absolutely are the free in antimetachemical soul, for theirs is the loving
approach to joy of the Unclear Soul of Antiheaven.
7. Virtuous
absolutely are the bound in antimetachemical will (antiwill), for theirs is the
beauty of Antidevil the Antimother.
8. Blessed absolutely are the bound in antimetachemical spirit
(antispirit), for theirs is the love of Antihell the Unclear Spirit.
9. Thus
those who are moral, saved, virtuous, and blessed absolutely are such on
metaphysical and antimetachemical terms, the former primary and male, the
latter secondary and female, the former hegemonic in spaced space, the latter
subordinate in repetitive time.
10. Moral
relatively are the free in physical ego, for theirs is the knowledge of Man the
Father.
11. Saved
relatively are the free in physical soul, for theirs is the pleasure of Earth
the Holy Soul.
12. Virtuous
relatively are the bound in physical will (antiwill), for theirs is the
knowledgeable approach to strength of the Son of
13. Blessed
relatively are the bound in physical spirit (antispirit), for theirs is the
pleasurable approach to pride of the Holy Spirit of Earth.
14. Moral
relatively are the free in antichemical ego, for theirs is the strong approach
to knowledge of the Antidaughter of Antiwoman.
15. Saved
relatively are the free in antichemical soul, for theirs is the proud approach
to pleasure of the Unclear Soul of Antipurgatory.
16. Virtuous
relatively are the bound in antichemical will (antiwill), for theirs is the
strength of Antiwoman the Antimother.
17. Blessed
relatively are the bound in antichemical spirit (antispirit), for theirs is the
pride of Antipurgatory the Unclear Spirit.
18. Thus
those who are moral, saved, virtuous, and blessed relatively are such on
physical and antichemical terms, the former primary and male, the latter
secondary and female, the former hegemonic in voluminous volume, the latter
subordinate in massed mass.
19. Vicious
relatively are the free in chemical will, for theirs is the weakness of Woman
the Mother.
20. Cursed
relatively are the free in chemical spirit, for theirs is the humility of
Purgatory the Clear Spirit.
21. Immoral
relatively are the bound in chemical ego (anti-ego), for theirs is the weak
approach to ignorance of the Daughter of Woman.
22. Damned
relatively are the bound in chemical soul (antisoul), for theirs is the humble
approach to pain of the Clear Soul of Purgatory.
23. Vicious
relatively are the free in antiphysical will, for theirs is the ignorant
approach to weakness of the Antison of Antiman.
24. Cursed
relatively are the free in antiphysical spirit, for theirs is the painful
approach to humility of the Unholy Spirit of Anti-earth.
25. Immoral
relatively are the bound in antiphysical ego (anti-ego), for theirs is the
ignorance of Antiman the Antifather.
26. Damned
relatively are the bound in antiphysical soul (antisoul), for theirs is the
pain of Anti-earth the Unholy Soul.
27. Thus
those who are vicious, cursed, immoral, and damned relatively are such on
chemical and antiphysical terms, the former primary and female, the latter
secondary and male, the former hegemonic in volumetric volume, the latter
subordinate in massive mass.
28. Vicious
absolutely are the free in metachemical will, for theirs is the ugliness of
Devil the Mother.
29. Cursed
absolutely are the free in metachemical spirit, for theirs is the hatred of
Hell the Clear Spirit.
30. Immoral
absolutely are the bound in metachemical ego (anti-ego), for theirs is the ugly
approach to illusion of the Daughter of the Devil.
31. Damned
absolutely are the bound in metachemical soul (antisoul), for theirs is the
hateful approach to woe of the Clear Soul of Hell.
32. Vicious
absolutely are the free in antimetaphysical will, for theirs is the illusory
approach to ugliness of the Antison of Antigod.
33. Cursed
absolutely are the free in antimetaphysical spirit, for theirs is the woeful
approach to hatred of the Unholy Spirit of Antiheaven.
34. Immoral
absolutely are the bound in antimetaphysical ego (anti-ego), for theirs is the
illusion of Antigod the Antifather.
35. Damned
absolutely are the bound in antimetaphysical soul (antisoul), for theirs is the
woe of Antiheaven the Unholy Soul.
36. Thus
those who are vicious, cursed, immoral, and damned absolutely are such on
metachemical and antimetaphysical terms, the former primary and female, the
latter secondary and male, the former hegemonic in spatial space, the latter
subordinate in sequential time.
37. The
vicious and cursed in free soma contrast with the moral and saved in free
psyche, as free will and spirit contrast with free ego and soul, and this
whether in respect of metachemistry and chemistry in sensuality, or physics and
metaphysics in sensibility.
38. The
only difference, other than class, between metachemistry and chemistry is that
whereas the one is principally characterized by the viciousness of free will,
the other is principally characterized by the cursedness of free spirit,
neither of which is friendly towards free soul or ego.
39. The only difference, other than class, between physics and
metaphysics is that whereas the one is principally characterized by the
morality of free ego, the other is principally characterized by the salvation
of free soul, neither of which is friendly towards free spirit or will.
40. Just as free will is the gender enemy of free soul, so free soul
is the gender enemy of free will; for if will is to have its free way, then
soul must be bound, just as will must be bound if soul is to freely prevail.
41. Just as free spirit is the gender enemy of free ego, so free ego
is the gender enemy of free spirit; for if spirit is to have its free way, then
ego must be bound, just as spirit must be bound if ego is to freely prevail.
42. Will
and soul are effectively upper-class, or noumenal, actualities, as germane to
metachemistry and metaphysics.
43. Spirit
and ego are effectively lower-class, or phenomenal, actualities, as germane to
chemistry and physics.
44. Thus
metachemical doing and metaphysical being, the per se manifestations of doing and being,
are as opposite as vicious free soma in the metachemical will of Devil the
Mother and saved free psyche in the metaphysical soul of Heaven the Holy Soul -
as opposite as noumenal actualities can get.
45. Thus
chemical giving and physical taking, the per se manifestations of giving and taking, are as opposite as
cursed free soma in the chemical spirit of Purgatory the Clear Spirit and moral
free psyche in the physical ego of Man the Father - as opposite as phenomenal
actualities can get.
46. No
less than metachemical doing excludes, on a class and/or elemental basis,
chemical giving (though not metachemical giving), so chemical giving excludes
metachemical doing (though not chemical doing) on such a basis.
47. No
less than physical taking excludes, on a class and/or elemental basis,
metaphysical being (though not physical being), so metaphysical being excludes
physical taking (though not metaphysical taking) on such a basis.
48. Therefore
the metachemical and the chemical remain as distinct, on the female side of
life, as the diabolic and the feminine, devils and women, or, as one could say
in colloquial parlance, 'jerks' and 'cunts', the former of which are
principally characterized, in 'frigging' vein, by doing, the latter, in
'fucking' vein, by giving.
49. Therefore
the physical and the metaphysical remain as distinct, on the male side of life,
as the masculine and the divine, men and gods, or, as one could say in
colloquial parlance, 'pricks' and 'bums', the former of which are principally
characterized, in 'sodding' vein, by taking, the latter, in 'snogging' vein, by
being.
50. Speaking
elementally, or in terms of the principal Elements, it is evident that the
fieriness of 'jerks' has to be contrasted, in 'pus'-like vein, with the
'gaseous' airiness of 'bums', while, down below, the wateriness of 'cunts' has
to be contrasted, in 'piss'-like vein, with the 'shitty' vegetativeness
(earthiness) of 'pricks'.
51. I
have already drawn attention, in an earlier text, to the axial distinctions
between autocracy-democracy and bureaucracy-theocracy, in which a falling
diagonal from 'frigg*** jerks' to 'sodd*** pricks' was contrasted with a rising
diagonal from 'fuck*** cunts' to 'snogg*** bums', as though from 'puss' to
'shit' in the one case, and from 'piss' to 'gas' in the other case.
52. Such
terms, although avowedly crude (though not specifically obscene), were
instrumental in underlining the underlying differences between societies in
which the State takes precedence over the Church to ones in which, by contrast,
the Church takes precedence over the State, so that it was possible to reach a
better understanding of why, in British/Irish dichotomous vein, state hegemonic
societies were less desirable than church hegemonic ones, in view of the
association of the former with the comparative negativity, in not-self
competition, of 'frigging' and 'sodding' actualities in relation to 'jerks' and
'pricks', but the association, by contrast, of the latter with the comparative
positivity, in self-oriented cooperation, of 'fucking' and 'snogging'
actualities in relation to 'cunts' and 'bums'.
53. More
specifically, it was established that whereas autocracy had reference to a
pro-notself disposition commensurate with free will, democracy, by contrast,
had reference to an anti-notself disposition commensurate with free ego (albeit
subverted by imperfectly bound female spirit), and that the
autocratic-democratic axis was consequently divisible between the 'pus'-based
competitive individualism of 'frigg*** jerks' and the 'shit'-centred
competitive collectivism of 'sodd*** pricks', as though between crime and
punishment.
54. Likewise,
it was established that whereas bureaucracy had reference to an anti-self
disposition commensurate with free spirit (albeit subverted by imperfectly
bound male ego), theocracy, by contrast, had reference to a pro-self
disposition commensurate with free soul, and that the bureaucratic-theocratic
axis was consequently divisible between the 'piss'-based co-operative
collectivism of 'fuck*** cunts' and the 'gas'-centred co-operative individualism
of 'snogg*** bums', as though between sin and grace.
55. Therefore
it is not with difficulty, neither logically nor morally, that one arrives at
the conclusion that the bureaucratic-theocratic axis, which rises from sin to
grace, is preferable, in its self-oriented 'fucking/snogging' divisibility, to
the diagonal descent from crime to punishment which, in not-self-oriented
'frigging/sodding' vein, typifies the autocratic-democratic axis.
56. Frankly,
there is little of gain over 'fucking/snogging' to be had in respect of
'frigging/sodding', but rather a regrettable situation, from the standpoint of
self, in which state-hegemonic factors accruing to the not-self take negative,
or competitive, priority over anything approximating to the self, with consequences
for enhanced suffering in respect of want of self-respect which such an
autocratic-democratic axis signifies.
57. In
fact, such subordinate self-orientation as paradoxically accrues to such an axis
in relation to the Church is likewise divisible between the pseudo-grace of
'snogg*** jerks' and the pseudo-sin of 'fuck*** pricks', as germane to
fundamentalist and humanist subversions of religion (relative to aristocratic
and plutocratic elites) in respect of state hegemonic actualities which, in
Britain at any rate, owe much, though not everything, to the likes of Henry
VIII and Oliver Cromwell, the former of whom took England into autocratic
freedom from bureaucratic church control, the latter of whom took England into
democratic freedom from autocratic state control, not least in respect of the
political and other restrictions placed upon Puritans by adherents of the
Established Church, the Church of England, which, in its policy of being headed
by the reigning monarch, ensures the fundamentalist subversion of religion in
the interests of state hegemonic freedom of action under autocratic
materialism.
58. Be
that as it may, one must contrast the genuine criminality of autocratic freedom
of state with the pseudo-grace of the state-bound Established Church, given the
distinction between the metachemical doing of 'frigg*** jerks' and the
metachemical pseudo-being of 'snogg*** jerks', both of which contexts have
reference to 'pus', albeit in respect of 'cowpuss' for the free autocratic
state and 'bullpus' for the bound autocratic or, rather, aristocratic church.
59. Likewise,
one must contrast - excluding for the time being the neo-criminal aspects of
Social Democracy - the genuine punishingness of democratic freedom of state
with the pseudo-sinfulness of the state-bound Puritan Church, given the
distinction between the physical taking of 'sodd*** pricks' and the physical
pseudo-giving of 'fuck*** pricks', both of which contexts have reference to
'shit', albeit in respect of 'cowshit' for the free democratic state and
'bullshit' for the bound democratic or, rather, plutocratic church.
60. So
much for the autocratic-democratic axis, which falls diagonally from crime and
pseudo-grace to punishment and pseudo-sin, the State always hegemonic over the
Church in view of its freedom in respect of either will (autocratic) or ego
(democratic), which makes for a double negativity of 'frigging' and 'sodding'
competitiveness in relation to the not-self, both 'pro' and 'anti', the church
complement to which is merely pseudo-positive in view of the extents to which
'snogging' and 'fucking' co-operativeness are compromised by their existence in
respect of 'jerks' on the one hand and 'pricks' on the other, neither of which
are of the self but diametrically opposite approaches to the not-self, and thus
to contexts which have more to do with 'pus' and 'shit' than ever they do with
'piss' or 'gas'.
61. When,
on the other hand, we consider the advantages to be got from a 'fucking/snogging'
standpoint in relation to 'piss' and 'gas', in which church-hegemonic factors
accruing to the self take positive, or co-operative, priority over anything
approximating to the not-self, with consequences for enhanced self-esteem in
respect of concern, one way or another, with the self which a
bureaucratic-theocratic axis signifies, it is hard not to conclude that the
'frigging/sodding' actualities which came to pass in England in consequence of
figures like Henry VIII and Oliver Cromwell are more to be regretted than
rejoiced in, since their only consequence was to detract from self, and thus
life, rather than to add to or enhance it, and thus to saddle England and other
such countries with hegemonic not-self, in complete contrast to countries like
Eire, where the self still takes precedence over the not-self.
62. In
fact, such subordinate not-self as paradoxically accrues to the
bureaucratic-theocratic axis in relation to the State is likewise divisible
between the pseudo-punishingness of 'sodd*** cunts' and the pseudo-crime of
'frigg*** bums', as germane to realist and idealist subversions of politics in
respect of church hegemonic factors which, in Ireland at any rate, owe much,
though not everything, to the Roman Catholic Church, divisible, as it is,
between bureaucratic and theocratic actualities.
63. In
that respect, one must contrast the genuine sin of bureaucratic freedom of
church with the pseudo-punishment of the church-bound Republican State, given
the distinction between the chemical giving of 'fuck*** cunts' and the chemical
pseudo-taking of 'sodd*** cunts', both of which contexts have reference to
'piss', albeit in respect of 'cowpiss' for the free bureaucratic church and
'bullpiss' for the bound bureaucratic or, rather, meritocratic state.
64. Likewise,
one must contrast - to anticipate the Social Theocracy of 'Kingdom Come' - the
genuine gracefulness of theocratic freedom of church with the
pseudo-criminality of the church-bound Centrist State, given the distinction
between the metaphysical being of 'snogg*** bums' and the metaphysical
pseudo-doing of 'frigg*** bums', both of which contexts have reference to
'gas', albeit in respect of 'bullgas' for the free theocratic church and
'cowgas' for the bound theocratic or, rather, technocratic state.
65. So
much for the bureaucratic-theocratic axis, which rises diagonally from sin and
pseudo-punishment to grace and pseudo-crime, the Church always hegemonic over
the State in view of its freedom in respect of either spirit (bureaucratic) or
soul (theocratic), which makes for a double positivity of 'fucking' and
'snogging' co-operativeness in relation to the self, both 'anti' and 'pro', the
state complement to which is merely pseudo-negative in view of the extents to
which 'sodding' and 'frigging' competitiveness are compromised by their
existence in respect of 'cunts' on the one hand and 'bums' on the other,
neither of which are of the not-self but diametrically opposite approaches to
the self, and thus to contexts which have more to do with 'piss' and 'gas' than
ever they do with 'shit' or 'pus'.
66. In
respect of People's sartorial analogues to the above, I like to think of the
falling autocratic-democratic axis in terms of rugby-type collared shirts in
the one case and tee-shirts in the other, but of the rising
bureaucratic-theocratic axis in terms of muscle shirts in the one case and
vests in the other, so that there is a recognizable distinction between options
which pertain, whether on a centrifugal or a centripetal basis, to the not-self,
and, by contrast, options which pertain, whether centrifugally or
centripetally, to the self.
67. To that extent, it should be evident that the rugby
shirt/tee-shirt options would correspond to a state hegemonic situation,
whether criminally or punishingly, and the muscle shirt/vest options to a
church hegemonic situation, whether sinfully or gracefully.
68. There
are those, I know, who conceive of tee-shirts as male and vests as female. Yet the fact that females often wear vests is
not sufficient proof of a female disposition but, rather, seems to this author
another example of how females often hype themselves in male terms, in order to
appear more attractive to males by aping what males can be expected to relate
to and, by extrapolation, find most desirable, thereby ensuring themselves
sufficient attention.
69. However
that may be, and granted that vests permit females to show off their arms and
much of their breasts, it does not seem to me that vests are intrinsically
female entities, as though the curvilinear design of the upper part of the vest
was indicative of a vaginal symbolism in contrast to the rather more
rectilinear phallic implications of the upper part of tee-shirts, including,
not least, the sleeves. Are we to
suppose, then, that sleeves are phallic symbols even when, as is usually the
case, short? Personally I find the
thought laughable!
70. But
the greater and more compact hug to the body of vests, and even muscle shirts,
suggests to me quite unequivocally that they are more self-orientated; can be
regarded as symbolizing a closeness to self which would never pass muster in
connection with females, no matter how much they sought to disguise their basic
natures and ape male subjectivity for the sake of appearing more desirable from
a male standpoint.
71. Now
because both muscle shirts and vests suggest, in their different ways, a
closeness to self which is demonstrably lacking in both rugby shirts and
tee-shirts, I have no difficulty in equating them with a co-operative disposition
which, whether bureaucratically sinful (and likely to imply a sporting analogue
with Hurling) or theocratically graceful (and likely to imply a sporting
analogue with Gaelic Football), attests to identification, on the part of their
wearers, with a church hegemonic situation which can only exist in relation to
'piss' and 'gas' in bureaucratic-theocratic vein, as in those societies, in
particular, which are characterized by 'Mother Church' and hope of what could
be called 'Father Church', as and when matters proceed from the
feminine-oriented world to the heavenly otherworld, so to speak, or, as I like
to think of it, from Roman Catholicism to Social Transcendentalism.
72. All
of which would contrast with the competitive disposition which, whether
autocratically criminal or democratically punishing, attests to identification,
on the part of wearers of rugby shirts (not to mention rugby players) and
tee-shirts (not to mention players of association football) respectively, with
a state hegemonic situation which only exists in relation to 'pus' and 'shit'
in autocratic-democratic vein, as in those societies, in particular, which, to
reverse the order and be more gender specific, are characterized by 'Father
State' and fear of 'Mother State' as and before matters proceeded from the
hellish netherworld, as it were, to the masculine-oriented world or, as could
be said, from autocratic authoritarianism to parliamentary pluralism, whether
or not one allows for the possibility of Social Democracy, the People's earthly
equivalent, in state hegemonic societies, to the church hegemonic absolutism of
Social Theocracy, which accords, as far as I am concerned, with 'Kingdom Come'
and thus not with a proletarian humanism rooted in blue-collar criteria, but
with a proletarian transcendentalism centred in white-collar criteria, so that
one achieves the heavenly heights as opposed to the earthly depths, depths
which, in any case, degenerate hellishly in respect of neo-autocratic criteria
appertaining to totalitarian centralization of the State.
73. Therefore,
to return to our sartorial analogues, the vest is rather more symbolic of the
theocratic heights and the tee-shirt, especially when worn loose, or outside
pants or whatever, of the democratic depths, though both alike would be male in
their divergent ways - divine and masculine, pro-self and anti-notself and/or
(concerning neo-autocratic tendencies) neo-notself, so that church hegemonic
and state hegemonic alternatives were being symbolized along divergent proletarian
lines, the Social Theocratic lines of an earthly Heaven and the Social
Democratic lines of a hellish earth.
74. However
that may be, when we consider the differences between metachemical and
metaphysical actualities, the former alpha and sensual, the latter omega and
sensible, upper-class female and male, we are drawn to the conclusion that the
'pus' of the former context is likely to be as abhorrent to the adherents of
the latter context as their 'gas' to the adherents of 'pus', and that as
'frigg*** jerks' could speak of getting 'gassed' and/or 'pongged off' or even,
in paradoxical fashion, 'bummed out', so 'snogg*** bums' could speak of getting
'pussed' and/or 'cheesed off' or, alternatively, 'jerked off' in respect of
criteria applying to their antithesis which, like them, they may have been
obliged to experience, contrary to their favoured or customary disposition.
74. Likewise,
when we consider the differences between chemical and physical actualities, the
former alpha and sensual, the latter omega and sensible, lower-class female and
male, we are drawn to the conclusion that the 'piss' of the former context is
likely to be as abhorrent to the adherents of the latter context as their
'shit' to the adherents of 'piss', and that as 'fuck*** cunts' could speak of
getting 'browned off', so 'sodd*** pricks' could speak of getting 'pissed off'
in respect of criteria applying to their antithesis which, like them, they may
have been obliged to experience, contrary to their favoured or customary
disposition.
76. Of
course living, as I unfortunately have done, in a society which is more
characterized by the 'shit' of 'sodd*** pricks' than by anything else, it is
not surprising that I often hear people talk of getting 'pissed off', since it
is evident that, in their 'prick'-oriented democratic way, they pertain or
relate more to 'shit' than to 'piss' and find that the latter, when it
transpires, doubtless in some thwarted way, is uncharacteristic of 'where
they're at' and something to be deprecated as an undesirable or
unrepresentative experience.
Consequently by talking of getting 'pissed off' by something, they
reveal their actual disposition as 'sodd*** pricks' whose elemental mean - and
perverse ideal - is 'shit'.
77. On
the other hand, someone who spoke of getting 'browned off' - notwithstanding
the race touchiness which might impulsively though laughably jump on such an
expression as racist - would reveal that he or, more likely, she pertained or
related more to 'piss' than to 'shit' and was liable to find the latter, when
it transpired, uncharacteristic of their mean and therefore worthy of
deprecation as an unrepresentative experience or situation. Consequently by talking of getting 'browned
off' by something, they reveal, as 'fuck*** cunts', a disposition whose
elemental mean - and straight reality - is 'piss'.
78. So
much for the lower-class distinction between 'cunts' and 'pricks', the former
of whom are more likely to be bureaucratic, the latter ... democratic, with
sinful and punishing norms which not only fight shy of each other but pertain
to separate diagonal axes with phenomenal implications for a contrary approach
to collectivism - co-operative in the case of 'cunts', competitive in the case
of 'pricks'.
79. Be
that as it may, the noumenal, or upper-class, parallels to such a distinction
would of course involve 'jerks' and 'bums', and we may believe that anyone
whose favoured deprecation involved reference to getting 'bummed out' and/or
'gassed off' would be in the former category and therefore significant of a
disposition, as a 'frigg*** jerk', towards 'puss', whereas his metaphysical
antithesis, ever likely to get 'pussed off' or 'jerked off' by metachemical
actualities, would betray a disposition towards 'gas' in relation to criteria
appertaining to 'snogg*** bums'.
80. So
much, then, for the upper-class distinction between 'jerks' and 'bums', the
former of whom are more likely to be autocratic, the latter ... theocratic,
with criminal and graceful norms which not only fight shy of each other but
pertain to separate diagonal axes with noumenal implications for a contrary
approach to individualism - competitive in the case of 'jerks', co-operative in
the case of 'bums'.
81. Of
course, in all the above instances I have dealt with the more representatively
hegemonic positions - state hegemonic in the case of 'jerks' and 'pricks',
church hegemonic in the case of 'cunts' and 'bums'. I have not alluded to the subordinate church
affiliations of 'snogg*** jerks' and 'fuck*** pricks' in respect of the
autocratic-democratic axis, nor, indeed, to the subordinate state affiliations
of 'sodd*** cunts' and 'frigg*** bums' in respect of the
bureaucratic-theocratic axis, as to do so would have further complicated the
overall picture in terms of pseudo-grace and pseudo-sin on the one hand, and
pseudo-punishment and pseudo-crime on the other hand.
82. Nevertheless
I have little doubt that people whose principal element, as
autocrats/aristocrats, is 'pus', or fire, are unlikely to be pro-'gas' even
when they are 'snogg*** jerks', but simply significant of a paradoxical
approach to 'pus' which is less competitive than co-operative or, rather,
pseudo-cooperative in terms of pseudo-grace.
83. Contrariwise,
people whose principal element, as theocrats/technocrats, is 'gas', or air, are
unlikely to be pro-'puss' even when they are 'frigg*** bums', but simply
significant of a paradoxical approach to 'gas' which is less co-operative than
pseudo-competitive in terms of pseudo-crime.
84. The
people of both subordinate categories would continue, one can logically infer,
to get 'gassed off' or 'pussed off', as the case might be; for anything
genuinely metaphysical can only be as abhorrent to persons in the one category
as anything genuinely metachemical to those in the other.
85. Similarly,
I have little doubt that people whose principal element, as
bureaucrats/meritocrats, is 'piss', or water, are unlikely to be pro-'shit'
even when they are 'sodd*** cunts', but simply significant of a paradoxical
approach to 'piss' which is less co-operative than pseudo-competitive in terms
of pseudo-punishment.
86. Contrariwise,
people whose principal element, as democrats/plutocrats, is 'shit', or
vegetation (earth), are unlikely to be pro-'piss' even when they are 'fuck***
pricks', but simply significant of a paradoxical approach to 'shit' which is
less competitive than pseudo-cooperative in terms of pseudo-sin.
87. The
people of both subordinate categories would continue, one can logically infer,
to get 'browned off' or 'pissed off', as the case might be; for anything
genuinely physical can only be as abhorrent to persons in the one category as
anything genuinely chemical to those in the other.
88. As
we have argued, state-hegemonic autocrats will be 'frigg*** jerks' for whom the
'pus' of metachemical freedom of the will conforms to criminal 'cowpuss', in
contrast to the church-subordinate aristocrats who, as 'snogg*** jerks', will
be those for whom the 'pus' of metachemical binding of soul conforms to pseudo-graceful
'bullpus' - the former vicious and the latter pseudo-saved.
89. Likewise,
state-hegemonic democrats will be 'sodd*** pricks' for whom the 'shit' of
physical freedom of the ego conforms to punishing 'bullshit', in contrast to
the church-subordinate plutocrats who, as 'fuck*** pricks', will be those for
whom the 'shit' of physical binding of spirit conforms to pseudo-sinful
'cowshit' - the former moral and the latter pseudo-cursed.
90. Contrariwise,
church-hegemonic bureaucrats will be 'fuck*** cunts' for whom the 'piss' of
chemical freedom of spirit conforms to sinful 'cowpiss', in contrast to the
state-subordinate meritocrats who, as 'sodd*** cunts', will be those for whom
the 'piss' of chemical binding of ego conforms to pseudo-punishing 'bullpiss' -
the former cursed and the latter pseudo-moral.
91. Similarly,
church-hegemonic theocrats will be 'snogg*** bums' for whom the 'gas' of
metaphysical freedom of soul conforms to graceful 'bullgas', in contrast to the
state-subordinate technocrats who, as 'frigg*** bums', will be those for whom
the 'gas' of metaphysical binding of will conforms to pseudo-criminal 'cowgas'
- the former saved and the latter pseudo-vicious.
92. When
we take an overview of the noumenal options of metachemistry and metaphysics,
we find that 'jerks' and 'bums' are principally characterized, in their
different ways, by crime and grace, the former in terms of genuine crime and
pseudo-grace, the latter in terms of genuine grace and pseudo-crime, depending
whether hegemonic or subordinate factors are being assessed.
93. When,
on the other hand, we take such a view of the phenomenal options of chemistry
and physics, we find that 'cunts' and 'pricks' are principally characterized,
in their different ways, by sin and punishment, the former in terms of genuine
sin and pseudo-punishment, the latter in terms of genuine punishment and
pseudo-sin, depending, once again, on whether hegemonic or subordinate factors
are being assessed.
94. Thus
while the upper-class positions are chiefly characterized by crime and grace,
their lower-class counterparts will be characterized by sin and punishment,
with the autocratic-democratic axis descending diagonally from the sensuality
of crime to the sensibility of punishment, and the bureaucratic-theocratic axis
ascending diagonally from the sensuality of sin to the sensibility of grace.
95. Therefore
fear of autocratic crime on the part of the democratic punishing would not be
incompatible with disdain for plutocratic pseudo-sin on the part of the aristocratic
pseudo-graceful, any more than would hope of theocratic grace on the part of
the bureaucratic sinful be incompatible with disdain for meritocratic
pseudo-punishment on the part of the technocratic pseudo-criminal.
96. Yet
no more than there can be crime without pseudo-grace in metachemical sensuality
... can there be grace without pseudo-crime in metaphysical sensibility.
97. And
no more than there can be sin without pseudo-punishment in chemical sensuality
... can there be punishment without pseudo-sin in physical sensibility.
98. For
wherever there is a hegemonic state there must be a subordinate church and,
conversely, wherever a hegemonic church obtains it is inevitable that the state
will be subordinate, a situation which is preferable to its opposite in view of
the extent to which concern with the self, whether negatively or positively, is
more conducive to life, as to co-operative values, than concern, by contrast,
with the not-self, whether positively or negatively, in 'pro' or 'anti' terms.
99. For
whereas being autocratically pro-notself makes for criminality in the case of
free soma and evil in the case of bound psyche, being democratically
anti-notself simply makes for punishingness in the case of free psyche and
modesty (or goodness) in the case of bound soma, neither of which are conducive
to life but, rather, to different forms of death - the absolute death of
eternal perdition in the case of metachemistry and the relative death of
life-in-death in the case of physics, the respective fates of 'jerks' and
'pricks', whose elemental affiliations to fire and vegetation ensure that the
latter will always go in fear of the former in heliotrope-like fatality of the
earth for Hell.
100. Now
whereas being bureaucratically anti-self makes for sinfulness in the case of
free soma and folly in the case of bound psyche, being theocratically pro-self
simply makes for gracefulness in the case of free psyche and wisdom in the case
of bound soma, neither of which are symptomatic of death but, rather, of
different forms of life - the relative life of death-in-life in the case of
chemistry and the absolute life of eternal bliss in the case of metaphysics,
the respective fates of 'cunts' and 'bums', whose elemental affiliations to
water and air ensure that the former will always go in hope of the latter in
judgemental resurrection of purgatory to Heaven.
101. Therefore
a society which is characterized by an autocracy/aristocracy cannot hope for
the Resurrection to Eternal Life but, on the contrary, will continue to concern
itself with democratically/plutocratically limiting the absolute power of the
pro-notself from an anti-notself standpoint which is life-in-death and thus
significant of a situation in which the male side of life is always under the
shadow of its female side, specifically in terms of the masculine under the
diabolic, the former lower class and the latter upper class, but also in
respect of the subversive influence on physics which hails from nominally
subordinate antichemical females in view of the extent to which the
metachemical still sensually prevails diagonally back 'on high', thereby
twisting relative grace and wisdom towards relative punishment and modesty as
an anti-notself retort to absolute evil and crime in the metachemical not-self.
102. In
contrast to that society which is characterized by a bureaucracy/meritocracy
and therefore primarily concerned with theocratically/technocratically reducing
the death-in-life relative glory of the anti-self from a pro-self standpoint in
Eternal Life, as significant of a situation in which the female side of life is
always under the shadow of its male side, specifically in terms of the feminine
under the divine, the former lower class and the latter upper class, but also
in respect of the subversive influence on chemistry which hails from nominally
subordinate antiphysical males in view of the extent to which the metaphysical
sensibly prevails 'on high', thereby twisting relative crime and evil towards
relative sin and folly as an anti-self precondition of absolute wisdom and
grace in the metaphysical self.
103. Should
those in the former type of society who are most determined to limit the power
of the pro-notself succeed in doing away with the autocracy/aristocracy, they
will not cease to be concerned with the anti-self but simply transmute the
anti-self from a genuine to a pseudo level in which neo-autocratic, and even
neo-aristocratic, criteria will infect the democracy/plutocracy as it becomes
social democratized and effectively state capitalist, so that masculine
criteria will bog down in earthly submission before neo-diabolic criteria, as
before some Antichrist equivalence, for want of a genuine capacity for
self-respect, the sort of capacity that requires not merely a bureaucratic but
a theocratic precondition such that had never substantially existed.
104. Conversely,
should those in the latter type of society who are most determined to limit the
glory of the anti-self succeed in doing away with the bureaucracy/meritocracy,
they will not cease to be positively concerned with the self but simply
transmute it from a pseudo to a genuine level in which bureaucratic, and even
meritocratic, criteria will cease to infect the theocracy/technocracy as it
becomes social theocratized and effectively church transcendentalist, so that
feminine criteria will bow down, in
purgatorial submission, before divine criteria, as before some Second Coming
equivalence, for want of a genuine capacity for anti-self disrespect, the sort
of capacity that requires not merely a liberal theocratic but a bureaucratic
precondition such that would no longer substantially exist.
105. Therefore
the emphasis of the two types of People's society is completely different, the
Social Democratic society tending from genuine democracy in state
decentralization to pseudo-democracy in state centralization in which the
People, though nominally sovereign, are perforce subjects of a 'People's
Monarch', a state ruler, or dictator, who tells them what to do, but the Social
Theocratic society tending from pseudo-theocracy in church centralization to
genuine theocracy in church de-centralization in which the People, though
nominally subjects of a 'People's Pope', a church leader, or messiah, are
perforce religiously sovereign and therefore free to devote themselves to
self-cultivation and/or not-self curtailment in relation, primarily, to the
soul and thus being.
106. In
such divergent fashion can one distinguish the earthly hell of pseudo-punishment
in relation to neo-crime from the purgatorial Heaven of pseudo-sin in relation
to genuine grace, the sort of grace which follows from devotional praxis in
respect of a variety of techniques which have one end, and one end alone, in
mind - to achieve salvation of the soul in perfect self-harmony.
107. Such
salvation, being genuine, is a far cry from the Roman Catholic pseudo-grace
dispensed, in the form of verbal absolution for penitential contrition, by what
is in effect a pseudo-theocracy, or liberal theocracy (not to be confounded
with Anglican quasi-autocratic or Puritan quasi-democratic 'theocracies'),
which exists in relation to a more genuine church bureaucracy that persists as
the worldly mean in which sin is cynically expected and regarded as typifying
'the fallen', who are yet 'faithful' of the Resurrection to Paradise as and
when the 'Kingdom' is proclaimed by He who corresponds to a Second Coming.
108. Frankly,
this bureaucratically sinful mean in conjunction with a pseudo-graceful
absolution from liberal theocracy is conditioned, in no small part, by
environmental criteria owing much, though not everything, to the sorts of
temperate, verdant topographical conditions prevailing throughout much of
Christianity's traditional heartland in Western Europe, and is therefore
symptomatic of a kind of 'lowland' mentality which would not pass muster in the
mountainous regions of somewhere like Tibet, where a more authentically
graceful approach to salvation in respect of transcendental meditation has been
the religious ideal, if not norm, and concepts like verbal absolution for
penitential contrition would meet with scant understanding, never mind
practical endorsement!
109. Everything,
in that sense, is relative, meaning that what is applicable to one region or
type of people will not necessarily be applicable to another, and so on, which
means that while we can sympathize with the concept of man as a sinful creature
in relation to some environments, more usually lowland, we cannot grant it universal
endorsement, as though those who regularly practised transcendental meditation
in some highland region closer to Heaven in its airy translucency were equally
sinful and therefore deserving of the same criteria as have been applied to
Christians, for which read: Catholics who bother to repent of their sins in the
confessional and receive verbal absolution from a priest for so doing.
110. Therefore
there is no reason to suppose that most European people accustomed to a
Catholic tradition and theology would necessarily prefer a TM-like situation to
prevail in which they were less human sinners than supra-human, and even godly,
saints who regularly achieved authentic grace through the practice of
transcendental meditation. No reason, at
any rate, if you discount the part played in modern or post-modern life by the
spread of globalization and the shrinking of the world, the globe, to the
proportions of the so-called 'global village', in which nature plays a less
conspicuous role in the face of urban expansion and its cultural corollary of
synthetic artificiality, a corollary which affects the greater proportion of
mankind, or those who live and work in the cities, whom we may call urban
proletariat, whether in terms of what traditionally would have been called a
blue-collar or a white-collar status.
111. The
thrust of contemporary evolution comes, we may safely conclude, from the cities
and their synthetically artificial products and technologies, which are slowly reshaping
the world from one in which nature has determined what shall be lowland and
what highland, or what hot and what cold, or what wet and what dry, to one that
is being shaped by ourselves in the face of nature and which we recognize as
the world we now spend most of our time in, a world of increasingly indoor
lifestyles which is already post-human in respect of the extents to which human
criteria, ever subject to greater relativity in closer proximity to nature,
have been overhauled or rejected in favour of criteria which point, whether
indirectly or directly, in the sensible direction of some supra-human future
that may well bring life to a godly peak in respect of the cyborgization of
what remains of humanity.
112. Thus
although Christian criteria still indubitably exist, and have their followers,
they are becoming increasingly anachronistic in and irrelevant to today's
society which, far from being narrowly European or American or Asian or what
have you, is developing along global lines in multiracial and effectively
cosmopolitan contexts whose focus of cultural and civil development is the
urban metropolis.
113. Thus
although many of those who pass for proletarians in respect of their urban
existence and lifestyle may still be nominally or officially Christian, the
civilization in which the majority of people now live is not Christian, nor
even Moslem or Buddhist, but of a synthetically artificial mode of secularity
which has the potential, under the right conditions, to achieve a sort of moral
rebirth commensurate with a new ecclesiastic dispensation as and when their
largely atheistic electorates are granted a paradoxical opportunity, in
judgemental fashion, to reject political sovereignty in the interests of
religious sovereignty and thus pass, in the event of a majority mandate for
such an ultimate sovereignty, from 'the world' of secular values to one
characterized, in otherworldly vein, by eternal values, not least in respect of
truth and joy, as germane to God and Heaven, albeit in terms of the
synthetically artificial requirements of an urban proletariat such that left
one in no doubt that their subsequent relationship to concepts like God and
Heaven, not to mention certain correlative shortfalls or sensible alternatives,
was unique to their environmental and evolutionary standing, and in no way a
rehash of anything pertaining to the past, neither in relation to humankind,
for which read: a more (relative to most) evolved level of metaphysical
sensibility along the lines of transcendental meditation; nor, anterior to
that, in relation to nature, for which read: a less (relative to least) evolved
level of metaphysical sensibility along the lines of winged seed-pods on trees;
nor, anterior to that, in relation to the Cosmos, for which read: a least
evolved level of metaphysical sensibility along the lines of ringed planets
like Saturn and perhaps even Jupiter.
114. No,
the level of metaphysical sensibility to which I allude, which would be most
evolved and therefore effectively of a per se order of godliness and heavenliness, could only
materialize in relation to the Cyborg, which is to say, to the cyborgization of
the urban proletariat as and when such a procedure became both possible and
morally desirable in view of the rights that would accrue to a religiously
sovereign People in respect of a
synthetically artificial civilization centred in godliness, a civilization
which even now is effectively beyond anything Christian or Buddhist or Moslem,
or what have you, in terms of a sort of atheistic dismissal of the 'old gods',
as Nietzsche would say, in favour of the sorts of secular freedoms which, while
not ends in themselves, can only be regarded, in view of their evil or foolish
consequences, as means to a better and higher end, an end commensurate with an
altogether new religious dispensation germane to 'Kingdom Come', and thus a
society premised upon religious sovereignty and the rights accruing to such a
sovereignty, not the least of which would be the freedom to develop
theocratically in respect of synthetically artificial levels of
transcendentalism, coupled to modified forms of humanism and nonconformism,
which, besides transcending anything humankind had achieved in the past, were
in no sense a return to either natural or cosmic modes of transcendentalism,
never mind fundamentalism, and so on, but the inevitable successor to
transcendental meditation as traditionally understood, and therefore the means
whereby man, even in his upper-class godly mode, could be 'overcome', to revert
to Nietzschean terminology, in order that God per se, or
the most evolved manifestation of metaphysical sensibility, could be
established and allowed to develop to the maximum of His heavenly potential in what
would ultimately be the omega point of universal perfection.
115. Thus
far from God and Heaven having anything much to do with the Cosmos, though a
least evolved manifestation of such is to be found in its
metaphysically sensible aspect (doubtless a relatively insignificant fraction
of the totality of cosmic factors), the most evolved, and therefore arguably per se, manifestations of godliness and
heavenliness will be found, I contend, in the Cyborg, which is to say, in
relation to the cyborgization of what are now termed the urban proletariat as a
post-humanity living within a post-modern age or society which is effectively
post-historical but not yet eternal, something which can only transpire
following a majority mandate for religious sovereignty in that paradoxical type
of election I have tended to identify with Judgement, with civilization at the
cross-roads between this world, the world of secular values, and the next, the
synthetically artificial otherworld of eternal values which would not be that
which follows death, in Christian-like fashion, but that which follows from an
extension of life into a sort of synthetically artificial afterlife that will
not peter out, in 'naturalistic' or historical fashion, but be sustainable from
a cyborg base through all Eternity.
116. Thus
it will be for the politically sovereign People to decide whether, as urban
proletariat, they wish to remain post-human, post-modern, post-historical in
the secular and effectively atheistic present or whether, in judgemental vein,
they would prefer to opt for the cyborgian, timeless, eternal benefits of
religious sovereignty in 'Kingdom Come', and thus come fully into their own in
respect of genuinely universal values which can only culminate in global unity
and ultimately the transcendence of the globe in the interests of timeless
bliss achieved in the context of space centres as the definitive manifestation
of the omega point, a point which, far from pertaining to the Cosmos in
Saturn-like vein, would pertain to what was truly universal in respect of a
beingfulness supreme that was properly and ultimately metaphysically sensible,
not merely least metaphysically sensible in some cosmic omega point dominated
by metachemical factors or less (relative to least) metaphysically sensible in
some natural omega point dominated by chemical factors or more (relative to
most) metaphysically sensible in some human omega point characterized by
physical factors but, beyond all these, most metaphysically sensible in the
universal omega point of cyborg perfection, a Oneness not so much of God and
Heaven in their ultimate manifestations as of God in Heaven in what
would be the ultimate manifestation of the One, or oneness with that aspect of
the self which, besides being the only aspect of it one can be at one with,
namely the spinal cord, is commensurate with the soul, and thus with timeless
bliss.
117. But
before such a divine/sublime totalitarianism could be brought definitively to
pass, it would be necessary to gradually reduce the initial pluralism of
factors pertaining to 'Kingdom Come', to what in previous texts has been
described as the triadic Beyond and administrative aside thereof, from however
many components were germane to its beginning to the definitive Oneness of its
long-term consummation in the omega point of space centres, a slow and complex
process of ongoing centro-complexification as the lower tiers of the triadic
Beyond were gradually brought closer to its upper tier - transmuted, modified,
pruned, excised, amalgamated, etc., in a process, ever sensitive to gender
differentials, destined to culminate in the universal perfection of a Oneness
Supreme.
118. For,
ultimately, the universality of evolutionary progress presupposes divine
absolutism, not a relativity of pluralistic factors which either fall short of
godliness or may even be contrary, if not opposed, to it. Far be it that the triadic Beyond of 'Kingdom
Come' should be subject to the influence of people who suffer, in abject superficiality,
from a want of sensibility! But
shortfalls in relation to both the opposite gender and the lower forms of male
proletarian life there will doubtless be, and while they must initially be
accepted on their own terms, they must also be subjected to modification in the
course of time or, rather, eternity, so that things can progress from pluralism
to totalitarianism, as from relativity to absolutism, even if this does mean
that, ultimately, the female gender will not play any significant role in such
a progress, bearing in mind its applicability to males in respect of enhanced
subjectivity in psychic freedom, not the least important manifestation of which
will be the soul.
119. For
that which is based in appearance, like the female gender, cannot be expected
to embrace genuine essence, and part of the process whereby the soul can be
further developed or explored will, of course, involve the curtailment of will
on the part of females, just as egocentric freedom for males requires the
curtailment of spirit on the part of females, neither of which female freedoms,
involving power and glory in their per se, or metachemical and chemical, manifestations, would be
any help to males, for whom freedom has to be conceived primarily in terms of
form and contentment, ego and soul, in both physical and, especially,
metaphysical contexts.
120. I
say 'especially' in the above note because the emphasis in 'Kingdom Come', as
in the triadic Beyond, would be on metaphysical development, albeit in
appropriately synthetically artificial terms, so that it would not be man that
was 'king', or sovereign in worldly terms through political sovereignty, but
man's successor, the godly cyborg that was 'king', or sovereign in otherworldly
terms through religious sovereignty, with egocentric form, duly egoistically transmuted,
consequently taking a back seat, as it were, to the lead of contentment, as of
the soul.
121. For
whereas in physics the ego conditions and governs the soul, as though in
rejection of a soulful per se
through an egocentric fulcrum which places knowledge on the throne of life and
requires the subversion of soul accordingly in relation to what in the past I
have described as a 'once-bovaryized', or second-rate, order of soul
commensurate with intellectual pleasure, in metaphysics, by contrast, one might
argue that the soul conditions and governs the ego, which seeks its soulful
redemption in and through practices likely to lead to the experience of
timeless bliss, which, in relation to humankind at any rate, has implied
recourse to transcendental meditation, and thus utilization of the most
essential element, namely air, duly transmuted into breath, for purposes of
establishing the utmost essential corollary in the self, which is of course the
soul, located at it essentially is in the spinal cord as that to which one
recoils from the threat to self, to ego, posed by the out-breath as though to
self more profoundly, bypassing the brain-stem seat of the ego in the process,
and thus effectively veering from one psychic extreme, the external extreme of
self-borne exhalation, to the other, the internal extreme, so to speak, of the
soul.
122. The
above is, of course, a rather simplified interpretation of the meditative
process, but it goes some what towards explaining why the metaphysically
disposed invariably have a soulful advantage over the merely physical, who are
content, in Christian fashion, to pray, and therefore remain focused in and
around the ego, which is of course no religious end at all but a worldly mean
whose principal concern is with the not-self, as with things external to
itself, the manipulation or understanding of which may bring it a degree of
intellectual pleasure, or 'bovaryized' soul, especially when, having vanquished
or curtailed any wilful obstruction to its ends, it can reap financial profits
commensurate with its economic ideal, an ideal premised upon form rather than
contentment, which can only prevail through the manipulation of power.
123. For
power is the one thing that, if not properly handled, for which read:
curtailed, can disrupt form and thus put egocentric freedom in peril, the sort
of thing that cannot be tolerated from a physical point of view, any more than
a totally free autocracy can be tolerated from a democratic point of view,
since democracy only prospers if there is no absolute authoritarianism to
preclude its doing so, no undue freedom of the will at large at the expense of
the ego, which requires a hegemonic form if it is to have its economic way.
124. Now
this brings us back to the autocratic-democratic axis of those societies which,
as in
125. On
a similar basis one could contend that glory is the one thing that, if not properly
handled, for which read: curtailed, can disrupt contentment and thus put
psychocentric freedom in peril, the sort of thing that cannot be countenanced
from a metaphysical point of view, any more than a totally free bureaucracy can
be countenanced from a theocratic point of view, since theocracy only prospers
if there is no relative authoritarianism to preclude its doing so, no undue
freedom of the spirit at large at the expense of the soul, which requires a
hegemonic contentment if it is to have its religious way.
126. Thus
societies that do not recognize a democratic alternative to an autocratic mean
are simply barbarous, and not even criminal.
For the acceptance of the reality of crime presupposes the existence of
punishment, and for punishment to be effective against crime there must be an
acceptance of the legitimacy of censoring behaviour that would be judged
criminal from a civilized point of view, for which read: that would be judged
unduly wilful from a standpoint centred in ego.
Therefore the tussle between crime and punishment presupposes an
autocratic-democratic axis which in turn presupposes an end to autocratic
authoritarianism and the acceptance of representative democracy.
127. Correlatively,
societies that do not recognize a theocratic alternative to a bureaucratic mean
are simply philistine, and not even sinful.
For the acceptance of the reality of sin presupposes the existence of
grace and for grace to be effective against sin there must be an acceptance of
the legitimacy of censoring behaviour that would be judged sinful from a
cultural point of view, for which read: that would be judged unduly spirited
from a standpoint centred in soul.
Therefore the tussle between sin and grace presupposes a
bureaucratic-theocratic axis which in turn presupposes an end to bureaucratic
authoritarianism and the acceptance of representative theocracy.
128. When
a society is no longer either purely barbarous or purely philistine, purely
instinctual or purely spiritual, it becomes governed by civilized or cultural
criteria which censor free will as crime and free spirit as sin, making for a
society which is led by either punishment or grace, as by democracy at the
expense of autocracy in the one case and theocracy at the expense of
bureaucracy in the other case, neither of which, however, are independent of
crime and sin.
129. For
there can be no independence of crime and sin so long as the world persists as
a relativity divisible between autocratic and democratic alternatives on the
one hand, as between crime and punishment, and bureaucratic and theocratic
alternatives on the other hand, as between sin and grace. In such liberal societies, democracy
presupposes the prior existence of autocracy no less than theocracy the prior
existence of bureaucracy.
130. But
attempts to establish the opposites of barbarous or philistine societies have
been and continue to be made, and such societies aim for either civilized
independence from barbarism or cultural independence from philistinism, as, one
could argue, in the cases of Social Democracy and, to revert to my preferred
terminology, Social Theocracy, so that an absolutism is established the other
side of worldly or liberal relativity which aims to be as post-worldly as what
we would now call barbarous or philistine societies were pre-worldly, and thus
pre-civilized or pre-cultural, as the prevailing case may be.
131. Such
post-worldly societies, on the other hand, are in effect post-civilized and
post-cultural, and in the paradoxical nature of People's progress they tend to
resurrect, in transmuted guise, some degree of barbarism in the one case and
philistinism in the other, thereby suggesting a return to pre-worldly criteria
and realities.
132. Yet,
in actuality, that is the last thing that either type of society would wish to
do, since they aim to establish 'paradise' either on earth or in Heaven, and
for that they must be as distinct from anything criminal or sinful as
pre-worldly societies were distinct from anything punishing or graceful, and
precisely because such concepts had not then been invented.
133. What
post-worldly societies endeavour to do is not to resurrect barbarism or
philistinism but to disinvent the worldly concepts of civilization and culture
in favour of something which is either civilized without being relatively
punishing or cultural without being relatively graceful, so that its existence
is beyond the scope of crime and sin, not concerned with either crime or sin
from relatively punishing or graceful points of view, but with the
transcendence, in effect, of such a relativity in the interests of an
absolutism which is neither formally punishing nor formally graceful, still
less neo-criminal or neo-sinful, but characterized by a degree of free ego in
the one case and free soul in the other which defies categorization in relation
to liberal punishment or grace, being the purest embodiment of either
civilization or culture as could be imagined.
134. Such,
at any rate, is what the respective utopias of the Beyond aim for and endeavour
to bring to pass, irrespective of how inadequate from a properly paradisiacal
point of view is 'pure civilization', the reduction of life to the
lowest-common-democratic-denominator, in blue-collar proletarianism, of Social
Democracy, which rather comes off an autocratic-democratic axis as the nadir of
diagonal descent than stems from anything bureaucratic-theocratic as the apex
of diagonal ascent.
135. For
which, of course, one must have Social Theocracy, in order to ensure, in
properly paradisiacal vein, that 'pure culture', not least in respect of a
synthetically artificial mode of transcendental meditation, is granted the most
appropriate interpretation and encouraged to flourish among, in particular, the
white-collar proletariat of a suitable denominational background.
136. However,
I do not believe, and have never in recent years maintained, that 'Kingdom
Come', if and when it were to come literally to pass, should be either purely
theocratic or purely democratic but, rather, a combination, to varying extents,
of both, so that there is scope for all manner of proletarians, whether they
also think of themselves as Catholics and Protestants or not, to partake of
'salvation', or deliverance from the sensual secularities of the 'heathenistic'
present to the sensible idealities of the Social Transcendentalist triadic
Beyond, as already discussed in a number of previous texts.
137. For
something that was unduly heavenly, and in a sense 'fascistic', would be no
more feasible, in the long run, than its unduly earthly, or 'communistic'
counterpart against which it was in revolt, and in that respect Social
Theocracy, as I have outlined it, is not another type of 'pie-in-the-sky'
utopia but the means whereby the schismatic divergence of Catholics and
Protestants, not to mention various other denominations, may be rectified in
terms of a restoration to a unitary faith based upon the teachings of Social
Transcendentalism, so that, whatever they may have been in the past or consider
themselves to be in the present, all persons may become Social
Transcendentalists living under a Social Theocratic dispensation which would be
there to protect and serve their religiously sovereign interests, presuming
upon a majority mandate for religious sovereignty come that paradoxical
election, or series of elections, which has been artificially - and
appropriately - identified, in my writings, with Judgement, as though People's
civilization were at the cross-roads between time and the timeless, the world
and 'Kingdom Come', democracy and some more authentic theocracy.
138. Consequently
Social Theocracy, whilst it may be centred in a new order - synthetically
artificial - of metaphysical sensibility, is open, and must remain open for as long
as necessary, to modified orders of physical sensibility, not to mention their
female counterparts in both antimetachemical and antichemical sensibility, the
latter of which could well be instrumental in constituting a not-inconsiderable
aspect of the administrative aside to the said triadic Beyond of 'Kingdom
Come', if one conceives of it, as I now do, as a largely antibureaucratic
context that would have the service of modified democratic, anti-autocratic,
and theocratic tiers, duly subsectioned, to grapple with in view of the
necessity of maintaining an overall theocratic hegemony in respect of what
properly accords with matters Social Theocratic.
139. Else
one could risk, in the event of an anti-autocratic administrative aside, a return to English-type axial criteria, in
which a sort of modified autocratic-democratic mean took precedence over things
bureaucratic-theocratic - something that would be completely unacceptable in a
salvationist context like 'Kingdom Come', where the lead factor can only be
theocratic and the administrative aside of an order of responsibility which is
more Messianic than dictatorial, or more akin to a 'God Kingship' than to a
'Devil Kingship', as one might call anything with an autocratic bias which, no
matter how godly or god-fearing it may think itself, is rooted, Old
Testament-wise, in an untransvaluated concept of 'God as First Mover' in what
transpires, Hebrew-like, to be a sensual 'take' on the Cosmos - something of
which, on the European and thus more temperate side of the Mediterranean, even
the Jupiterian Romans cannot be accused.
140. However
that may be, the overall structure of 'Kingdom Come', conceived in respect of
an administrative aside to the triadic Beyond, is not commensurate with either
type of People's utopia, the 'pie-in-the-sky' utopia of an overly white-collar
orientation or the so-called 'heaven-on-earth' (though actually
'hell-on-earth') utopia of an overly blue-collar orientation but, rather, seeks
to appeal to all proletarians, all urban dwellers and workers, of whatever
informally secular or formally religious status to join together in the
building of this new world, which will not be just another world but ultimately
so otherworldly as to transcend the earth altogether in favour, at that more totalitarian
evolutionary point in eternity, of some space-centre heaven which will be
considerably more evolved than anything already pertaining metaphysically to
space in respect of the Cosmos. So evolved, as already noted, as to be perfectly universal, and
thus at the opposite extreme from anything cosmic.
141. For
the cosmic, remember, is dominated by Devil the Mother/Hell the Clear Spirit,
by metachemically free soma in stellar-like vein, and is not, and never could
be, a context in which God the Father/Heaven the Holy Soul could exist to
anything like a most evolved, or per se, degree of metaphysically free psyche but, rather, in
terms of its least evolved degree in contrast to the most devolved (as that,
paradoxically, which is furthest removed from an evolutionary possibility)
degree of Devil the Mother/Hell the Clear Sprit, for which read: metachemical
'first mover' in cosmic sensuality.
142. Therefore
it is only in the universal cyborg, in that which is not only antithetical to
the polyversal cosmic but distinct from both impersonal natural and personal
human stages of life, that God and Heaven attain to a per se manifestation in the synthetic
artificiality of a God the Father/Heaven the Holy Soul, not to mention their
bound somatic corollaries of a Son of God/Holy Spirit of Heaven, which are not
merely least evolved, never mind less (relative to least) or more (relative to
most) evolved, but most evolved in a universality which is beyond any
subversive vitiation stemming from either cosmic, natural, or human influences
- always more polyversally, impersonally, or personally prevalent than
universality in relation to cosmic, natural, or human contexts - in the fully
universal independence from such a vitiation which is alone possible to the
cyborg as the epitome of universality per se.
143. Having
theoretically established the pluralistic structure of 'Kingdom Come' along
lines likely to protect the theocratic hegemony and soulful freedom which is
theocracy's chief raison d'être, I should
like briefly to return to the divergent axes of autocracy-democracy on the one
hand, by and large English and therefore Anglo-Saxon, and bureaucracy-theocracy
on the other hand, by and large Irish and therefore Celtic, with the original
autocratic or, rather, bureaucratic (for autocratic independence of
ecclesiastic hegemony came via Henry VIII rather later to the British Isles
than the bureaucratic control of politics, as of the State, in relation to
'Mother Church') and autocratic positions arguably more Norman French than
either Celtic or Anglo-Saxon, and restate the distinction between a hegemonic
state and subordinate church in respect of the one axis, and a hegemonic church
and subordinate state in respect of the other axis, as between concern, one way
or another, with the not-self, and concern, one way or another, with the self.
144. Although
nominally subject to male hegemonic control in physical democracy, the
autocratic-democratic axis is actually dominated, as we have seen, by female
criteria in view of the extent to which metachemistry still prevails as a
diabolic female reality diagonally in back and above the physical hegemony of
masculine males over antichemical females in sensibility, making for a
paradoxical situation in which punishment and modesty (goodness) tend, as
antichemical idealities, to take precedence over grace and wisdom in an
effectively antifeminine opposition to crime and evil, the opposition of
democracy to autocracy.
145. By
contrast, although nominally subject to female hegemonic control in chemical
bureaucracy, the bureaucratic-theocratic axis is actually dominated or, rather,
led by male criteria in view of the extent to which metaphysics prevails as a
divine male reality diagonally to the fore of and above the chemical hegemony of
feminine females over antiphysical males in sensuality, making for a
paradoxical situation in which sin and folly tend, as antiphysical realities,
to take precedence over crime and evil in an effectively antimasculine
aspiration towards grace and wisdom, the aspiration of bureaucracy towards
theocracy.
146. Therefore,
from a male standpoint, the latter axis is preferable to the former in view of
the extents to which an aspiration towards divine male criteria in absolute
grace and wisdom from disgust with folly and sin takes precedence over an
opposition to diabolic female criteria in absolute criminality and evil at the
expense of relative wisdom and grace, with the male not merely functioning, in
punishing vein, against the not-self of metachemical crime but functioning, in
penitential vein, on behalf of self in respect of metaphysical grace.
147. It
is also worth pointing out that whereas, in state-hegemonic vein, the
autocratic-democratic axis is characterized by authentic crime and punishment,
as germane to genuine barbarity and civility, it is also, in church-subordinate
vein, characterized by inauthentic grace and sin, as germane to pseudo-culture
and pseudo-philistinism - the noumenal, or upper-class, aspect of the axis
arguably divisible between autocratic (Monarchic) and aristocratic (Anglican)
forms of the state and church, the phenomenal, or lower-class, aspect of it
divisible between democratic (Parliamentary) and plutocratic (Puritan) forms of
the state and church.
148. Contrariwise,
it is worth pointing out that whereas, in church-hegemonic vein, the
bureaucratic-theocratic axis is characterized by authentic sin and grace, as
germane to genuine philistinism and culture, it is also, in state-subordinate
vein, characterized by inauthentic punishment and crime, as germane to
pseudo-civility and pseudo-barbarity - the phenomenal, or lower-class, aspect
of the axis arguably divisible between bureaucratic (Roman Catholic) and
meritocratic (Republican) forms of the church and state, the noumenal, or upper-class,
aspect of it divisible - if I may be permitted to anticipate the key elements
of 'Kingdom Come' - between theocratic (Social Transcendentalist) and
technocratic (Centrist) forms of the church and state.
149. Therefore
it seems necessary to distinguish the pseudo-grace of aristocratic Anglicanism,
rooted in the bound metachemical psyche of a hateful approach to woe, as a
secondary form of the church vis-à-vis the genuine criminality of autocratic
monarchism, rooted in the free metachemical soma of ugliness, as the primary
form of the state (that product in England, remember, of an excommunicated
monarch) from what could be called the relative grace of such theocracy as
accrues, in liberal vein, to Roman Catholicism as reward for penitential confession
of sin, and which needs to be distinguished from the more elevated grace, the
absolute grace, as it were, that would attend the practice of transcendental
meditation as a properly metaphysical mode of sensibility, a grace that, in the
context of 'Kingdom Come' and thus of a Social Theocratic supersession of Roman
Catholicism, would require a synthetically artificial inducement to lift it
beyond the merely human stage of metaphysical sensibility such that accords,
for instance, with a Buddhist disposition and religious tradition.
150. And
in that respect there would no longer be a dichotomy, highlighted by the
divergence of Jung from Huxley in respect of the distinction between
transcendental meditation as the 'slow' and in effect proper path to paradise
and recourse to synthetic hallucinogens as the 'quick' and somewhat superficial
path to paradise, but, rather, two equally synthetic approaches to the
Afterlife that were intended to cater for the inevitable distinction between
males capable of a metaphysical commitment and their more physical counterparts
who would be less soulful than egotistic, and therefore more open to visionary
experience as a sort of earthly reincarnation of ego which would parallel the
Christian expectation of 'meeting Christ' face to face in eternity, and
therefore stand lower, in the hierarchy of possible afterlife-type experience,
than anything centred, transcendentally, in unitive experience of Heaven as
germane not to the brain stem but to the spinal cord, and thus to those whose
religious conditioning prior to death ran somewhat deeper than their, for
example, Christian, or praying/reading, counterparts.
151. Therefore
both physical and metaphysical types of afterlife experience would be equally
synthetic and not at sixes and sevens, so to speak, through a sort of
civilization clash between the devotees of transcendental meditation and the
advocates, in post-modern and effectively lower-class vein, of synthetic
hallucinogens, of which Aldous Huxley is perhaps the most famous of all
twentieth-century writers.
152. But
if there would be a distinction between the two approaches to male afterlife
experience, multiplied by tier subsections of our projected triadic Beyond,
there would also be a need to accommodate females in their own tier subsections
more in terms of bottling-up or curtailing not-self freedom of instinctual
and/or spiritual action than in respect of enhancing, subjectively, psychic
freedom, and for that there may well be need of recourse to various drugs
designed for precisely that purpose, so that such psychic emphasis as females
were paradoxically subject to under male hegemonic pressures was supplemented
by measures intended to reduce their potential opposition - as creatures,
remember, for whom soma precedes and predominates over psyche - to such a
punishing commitment, not least by assisting in the reduction of somatic
opposition to psychic freedom.
153. This
is, needless to say, a tricky subject and one I have no intention of further
enlarging upon in this text. But there
can be no doubt that a gender which is characterized, as females usually are,
by somatic precedence of psyche, as mother over daughter, will not be as
partial to psychic freedom as their male counterparts, for whom psyche both
precedes and predominates over soma, as father over son, and is only free to do
so in sensibility, which is to say, in contexts where males are sensibly
hegemonic over their female counterparts who, far from then being clear, will
have been reduced, in upended vein, to spiritual and soulful unclearness as the
necessary complement to male holiness in such contexts.
154. Therefore
more than mere psychological pressure will need to be brought to bear on
females if the paradoxical ideality of psychic freedom, and thus of morality of
ego and salvation of soul, is to monistically persist, as it were, in 'Kingdom
Come' without undue threat of subversion and even rejection by restive females
growing weary of somatic repression, and such pressure will have to be
physiological in order to account for their gender actuality of soma preceding
and predominating over psyche even in contexts where, under sensibly hegemonic
male pressure, they are expected and indeed required to behave to the contrary.
155. So
much for the gender war which, if males are to emerge triumphant, will require
that all means are brought to bear on the female in order to keep her
subordinate and no longer a hegemonic opponent of psychic freedom, as is only
too apparently and quantitatively the case in the freely somatic present, where
free will and free spirit parade their shameless vices and curses to the
detriment of anything virtuous and blessed, much less moral and saved.
156. Doubtless,
the progressive cyborgization of human or, rather, post-human life will change
the terms of how the genders relate or should be expected to relate in a
morally sane society, a society characterized not by the insanity of not-self
freedom of doing in metachemical will, still less by the anti-insanity of
anti-notself freedom of taking in physical ego, nor even by the antisanity of
anti-self freedom of chemical giving in spirit, but principally by the sanity
of freedom of metaphysical being in soul which is uniquely of the self and its
heavenly destiny, its heavenly goal and solace.
157. Therefore
it is with the sanity of the self being true to itself that I draw a close to
this text, in the expectation that others of a like persuasion will see the
light, the graceful inner light of perfect self-harmony, and join with me to
defeat not only the outer-darkness of self-disharmony, the bureaucratic
impediment to genuine theocracy in which, as a male, one is sinfully at
cross-purposes with the self, but both the outer light of not-self friction and
the inner-darkness of anti-notself anti-friction which, in twisted democratic
vein, is collectively ranged against the crimes of autocracy from a contrary
order of competitiveness which, though less obviously female, still leaves much
to be desired from the standpoint of co-operation and, most especially, that
cooperation with the self which is only possible to the free soul as and when
one elects, as a metaphysical individual, a godly male, for the inner light and
is eternally saved by the most perfect sanity of timeless bliss, which is
Heaven.
158. Therefore
at the end of the day, as of the sinful world, it cannot be the outer light to
inner darkness of the autocratic-democratic axis which prevails in female
hegemonic vein, but the outer darkness to inner light of the
bureaucratic-theocratic axis which, resurrected by Social Theocracy, will
enable the inner light to be with a synthetically artificial vengeance
which is the cyborg vengeance of God the Father per se as He seeks and finds His heavenly
redemption in the most evolved order of Heaven the Holy Soul for all Eternity.
