1. Anyone
who has read my recent texts, not least those dealing with the Social Theocratic
Centre, will realize that I am hardly a republican in the conventional or,
indeed, radical Irish Republican sense.
For the ideology to which I subscribe would deliver the Irish people, in
the event of a majority mandate for religious sovereignty in a paradoxical
election commensurate, so far as I am concerned, with ‘judgement’, from the
sorts of axial dichotomy and exploitation which the tricolour would appear to
signify. For the Irish tricolour is
green, white, and gold and/or orange (depending on one’s ethnic and/or
geopolitical orientation) and therefore symptomatic, it seems to me, of the
distinction between the three main bodies of ethnic tradition in Ireland as a
whole – namely, Catholics, Anglicans, and Puritans (which latter term embraces
Presbyterians as well as Methodists, Baptists, Unitarians, etc.). But that is reflective of the axial
distinction between British state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria in
which Anglicanism and Puritanism are subordinate to Monarchism and Parliamentarianism
respectively, and Irish church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria in which
the Roman Catholic Church is primary and the republican state secondary. Therefore the tricolour would appear to
endorse, despite its associations with
2. Authoritarianism
is a pretty dirty word these days, and one can understand why persons of both
republican and post-republican sentiment should take a poor view of a political
stance which is rooted in monarchy of an overly autocratic and even absolutist
nature. But looked at from a more
etymological point of view, such a word is surely synonymous with authority,
which is no bad thing, and even with the concept of the ‘author’, who is no
better or worse than the book or document he writes. If I am the ‘author’ of a particular text,
say a philosophical thesis, then I can be regarded as being something of an
‘authority’ on the subject to which I have dedicated my pen or, increasingly
these days, word processor and/or personal computer. But is not an ‘authority’ in the above sense
also, by definition, ‘authoritarian’, since one cannot be an ‘authority’ on any
given subject, still less an ‘author’, without being ‘authoritarian’, that is
to say, without having authority derived from much study and/or practice in
one’s art. In this sense ‘authoritarian’
is merely adjectival, for what ‘author’, being something of an ‘authority’, is
not ‘authoritarian’? One could of course
say ‘authorial’, but that is rather lame and something of a cop-out. Let us not mince words, but simply
acknowledge that the word ‘authoritarian’ can be divested from overly
autocratic association and used in a more politically acceptable way which,
after all, is no bad thing, since few if any people would trust someone who
lacked authority to author a work that claimed to be true or in some sense
philosophically or intellectually valid.
Authors are or should be ‘authoritarian’, and therefore reliable
authorities on the subjects to which they dedicate their creative zeal.
3. One
could describe both Nazism and Sovietism as having been totalitarian with an authoritarian
bias, since the rule of one man over a party is less totalitarian than
authoritarian in character, and Hitler and Stalin were nothing if not
authoritarian dictators who stamped their image on the totalitarianism of one
party rule, Hitler doubtless more than Stalin, since Nazism was the beginning
of global civilization rather than the culmination, social democratically, of
Western civilization, and would have had more of an alpha than an omega
tendency in consequence. Stalin, after
all, was an infringement of the Bolshevik concept of collective leadership and
therefore something of a quasi-fascist departure from communist ‘idealism’,
but, in the circumstances, hardly fatal to the survival, into the immediate
post-war era, of the Soviet Union and to its return to something like
collective responsibility.
4. Collectivism
is always more phenomenal and worldly than netherworldly or otherworldly in
character, a symptom of the masses and of mass-participatory democracy and/or
bureaucracy in the face of autocratic or theocratic alternatives. Individualism, on the other hand, requires
either of the latter dispositions for its full realization, since one must be
absolutist on either an objective (autocratic) or a subjective (theocratic)
basis to pass muster as a ruler or a leader, a devil, as it were, or a
god. The collectivism that fights shy of
individualism is one thing, the individualism that strives to incorporate and
transmute the collective is quite another.
All the difference, in short, between state-hegemonic/church-subordinate
and church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria.
5. Communalism
of a transcendentalist and/or anti-fundamentalist order should be regarded as
the endeavour to transmute the collectivistic masses into an individualistic godhead
and/or antidevil, not simply as the glorification or confirmation of a
collectivistic ethic. Herds and flocks
are collectivistic, but so what? They
are preyed upon by lone wolves and led to higher pastures by lone shepherds.
6. Whereas
the diabolic individual, effectively barbarous, exploits the crowd, the divine
individual, his cultural adversary, seeks to deliver it from itself to an
individualistic destiny of perfect self-realization. Crowds are simply there to be overcome, not
endorsed. For that which is ethereal and
absolute is always at an individualistic distance from the relativity of the
corporeal, whose collectivism is the product not of noumenal transcendence but
of all too phenomenal gravity and somatic want of psychic courage.
7. I
spoke in the past of four points of an axial compass stretching from North West
to South East on state-hegemonic/church-subordinate terms, and from South West
to North East on church-hegemonic/state-subordinate terms, and conceived of
such intercardinal points as being divisible into two positions in accordance
with the gender differential that must exist at any given point. Let us now do compass-like justice to each of
these positions, starting with the Northwest point which we contend to be
divisible between metachemistry and antimetaphyiscs, the former diabolically
female and the latter antidivinely male, the former accordingly North-northwest
and the latter West-northwest, whereas down that axis of
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria we have a point, duly Southeast,
which is divisible between physics and antichemistry, the former masculinely
male and the latter antifemininely female, and therefore the one effectively
East-southeast and the other South-southeast.
Across the axial divide, the Southwest point is divisible between
chemistry and antiphysics, the former femininely female and the latter
antimasculinely male, the one accordingly West-southwest and the other
South-southwest, while up this axis of church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria
we shall find a point, duly Northeast, which is divisible between metaphysics
and antimetachemistry, the former divinely male and the latter antidiabolically
female, the one North-northeast and the other East-northeast. Confusing?
Some may think so, but I am sure that the axial compass looks more
comprehensively readable, and hence intelligible, on such a secondary
intercardinal basis than would otherwise be the case. At no point, however, does this axial compass
embrace cardinal points, since we are not concerned with a cross but with a
diagonal axis between antithetical intercardinal points and, as noted above,
their secondary extrapolations. Hence
what was characterized as the Northwest point is now divisible, on a
metachemical/antimetaphysical basis, between North-northwest and
West-northwest, and what was characterized as the Southeast point is now
divisible, on a physical/antichemical basis, between East-southeast and
South-southeast, with a state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axial link, female gender
to female gender, between metachemistry and antichemistry on the one hand and,
male gender to male gender, antimetaphysics to physics on the other hand. Contrariwise, what was characterized as the
Southwest point is now divisible, on a chemical/antiphysical basis, between
West-southwest and South-southwest, and what was characterized as the Northeast
point is now divisible, on a metaphysical/antimetachemical basis, between
North-northeast and East-northeast, with a church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axial
link, male gender to male gender, between antiphysics and metaphysics on the
one hand and, female gender to female gender, chemistry to antimetachemistry on
the other hand – the former in each case primary and the latter secondary.
8. The
word ‘valuation’ is effectively a root word that can be divided into four
different categories, viz. the metachemical category of devaluation, which is
noumenally objective, and the chemical category of evaluation, which is
phenomenally objective, both of which fundamentally appertain to the free
female side of life and contrast with the physical category of revaluation,
which is phenomenally subjective, and the metaphysical category of
transvaluation, which is noumenally subjective, each of which essentially appertain
to the free male side of life in what is, by comparison with its female
counterpart, a secondary order of valuation.
For valuations are primarily objective and only secondarily subjective,
and therefore devaluation and evaluation, being objective, will be primary and
revaluation and transvaluation, their subjective counterparts, secondary. But this is in effect to distinguish
sensuality from sensibility and vice versa, and therefore to contrast barbarity
and philistinism with civility and culture, the latter of which require a male
lead of society at the expense of female freedom, which tends towards
devaluation and evaluation in patently barbarous and philistine terms. But just as the male must be upended if the
female side of things is to be hegemonically free, so the development of male
freedom requires the correlative upending, or subordination, of female freedom,
without which no lasting sensibility can be maintained in the face of
sensuality. Therefore if we speak of
devaluation in connection with metachemistry, which is noumenally objective, we
must speak of its male corollary in terms of anti-transvaluation in connection
with antimetaphysics, which is anti-noumenally subjective or, better,
noumenally anti-subjective. Likewise if
we speak of evaluation in connection with chemistry, which is phenomenally
objective, we must speak of its male corollary in terms of anti-evaluation in
connection with antiphysics, which is phenomenally anti-subjective. Contrariwise, if we speak, in relation to
sensibility, of revaluation in connection with physics, which is phenomenally
subjective, we must speak of its female corollary in terms of anti-evaluation,
which is phenomenally anti-objective.
And finally, if we speak of transvaluation in connection with metaphysics,
which is noumenally subjective, we must speak of its female corollary in terms
of anti-devaluation, which is noumenally anti-objective. Therefore we have to distinguish between the
devaluating of metachemistry and the anti-transvaluating of antimetaphysics in
relation to upper-class and anti-classless criteria germane, in general terms,
to the Devil and Antigod, and contrast this, down the
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis, with a distinction between the
revaluating of physics and the anti-evaluating of antichemistry in relation to
middle-class and anti-lowerclass criteria germane, again in general terms, to
man and antiwoman. Crossing to the
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis, we shall have to distinguish between
the evaluating of chemistry and the anti-revaluating of antiphysics in relation
to lower-class and anti-middleclass criteria germane, in general terms, to
woman and antiman, and contrast this, up the church-hegemonic/state-subordinate
axis, with a distinction between the transvaluating of metaphysics and the
anti-devaluating of antimetachemistry in relation to classless and
anti-upperclass criteria germane, again in general terms, to God and the
Antidevil. Thus, from a sensible
standpoint, the standpoint of civility and culture, revaluations take
precedence over anti-evaluations and transvaluations precedence over
anti-devaluations, and that which appertains to evaluation in the one case and
to devaluation in the other is adjudged ‘bad’ or morally undesirable, to be
rejected and, where possible, avoided in the interests of sensibility. Contrary to which, a society not merely
rooted in but effectively centred in or openly committed to sensuality, in
short a heathenistic society whose standpoint is rather more barbaric and/or
philistine, will allow if not encourage devaluations to take precedence over
anti-transvaluations and evaluations precedence over anti-revaluations, whether
because it is primitivistically ignorant of the possibility of transvaluations
in the one case and revaluations in the other or because, having got beyond an
older order of transvaluations and revaluations, it deems them ‘old hat’ and
the product of superstition or oppression or elitism or what have you that
should be avoided by the ‘progressive’ in the interests of sensual betterment
or self-gratification (though I would normally use the term ‘not-self’ to
describe somatic freedoms). Now while
the former type of society is simply backward and in want of civilization, the
latter type may well be technologically and environmentally pretty advanced but
unaware, for all its liberation from the past, that it is simply the tails side
of a coin that has yet to achieve redemption in the development of a heads
side, a side beyond where it is at and capable, through an enhanced sense of
revaluation or transvaluation, of exposing its limitations and overhauling what
it will perceive to be the fruit of female domination and consequence of too
much somatic freedom. Such a more advanced
civilization may well be – and in the nature of national solidarity or social
cohesion is almost certain to be – quite independent of the prevailing
heathenistic type of society and not simply a development within it on a
minority basis. It will emerge in
consequence of a different historical pattern of culture and society than that
typifying the somatically free nations, and will stand up for what is beyond
the contemporary manifestations of barbarism and philistinism in terms of a new
and altogether higher order, compared with anything traditional, of culture and
civility. And, in doing so, it will
affirm not merely revaluations at the expense of evaluations, in typically
British revaluating and anti-evaluating vein, but transvaluations at the expense
of devaluations and therefore be representative of the hegemony of metaphysics
over antimetachemistry, of classless transvaluating over anti-upperclass
anti-devaluating.
9. The
snag with revaluation at the anti-evaluating expense of evaluation is that it
is only equivocally hegemonic and therefore subject to the subversion of
physics by antichemistry acting in antithetical gender parallel with the rule
of devaluation over anti-transvaluation in metachemistry over antimetaphyiscs
back up the state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis, a subversion that, in
overall axial terms, ensures that devaluating and anti-evaluating take
precedence over anti-transvaluating and revaluating in the primacy of the
female input into the maintenance of state-hegemonic/church-subordinate
criteria, a primacy which results in an antithesis between vanity and justice
at the expense of pseudo-meekness and pseudo-righteousness, whether in state or
church. Therefore revaluation is not as
morally significant as its advocates and devotees like to think, but rather
tends to be co-opted to the service of anti-evaluation in consequence of the
extent to which an unequivocal devaluation holds anti-transvaluation in
antimetaphysical submission to its metachemical will, making not simply for
state-hegemonic criteria but for the primacy of the female aspects of such
criteria, as in relation to the polarity between metachemistry and
antichemistry, a polarity which cannot but reduce antimetaphysics and physics
to a secondary role, even if the one is unequivocally subordinate and the other
equivocally hegemonic. Such a hegemony
is a long way short of being metaphysically unequivocal in relation to a
genuine order of transvaluation.
10. One
cannot emphasize too often the female-dominated nature of
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axial criteria, and the fatality towards
state absolutism which results less from the existence of liberal democracy
vis-à-vis a constitutional monarchy, as in Britain, than from the degeneration
of democracy from liberal to social democratic levels and the ensuing nazi-type
backlash that will involve some degree or modification of autocratic
criteria. One type of state extremism
tends, in the modern age, to engender another, and the situation goes from bad
to worse as the state fatality becomes more deeply entrenched and polarized in
the name of opposite ‘ideals’. Yet, in
reality, the only ‘ideal’, in the sense of freedom of action, is the somatic
freedom of metachemistry over antimetaphysics, since democracy is, by nature, a
creature of bound soma, of popular solidarity, and cannot reasonably endorse
exploitative and predatory forms of free enterprise. The great democratic delusion is to suppose
that you progress from liberal to social criteria, as from bourgeois humanism
to proletarian humanism, when in point of fact you are simply regressing
further down an axis and inviting an autocratic backlash from those who, for
whatever reasons, would oppose the digging and levelling down of society into a
kind of black hole of proletarian humanism, from which hole, as recent history
has amply demonstrated, it is very difficult to climb back out. But this entire axis is the fruit of
schismatic heresy and therefore of somatic freedom and psychic binding coupled,
down below, to somatic binding and psychic freedom in what I have more than
once described as the product of female dominion. It is, to be sure, the older and more basic
if not always prevalent of the two axial inclinations, and one would hesitate
to regard its Catholic counterpart as anything more, traditionally, than a
dotted-line affair in relation to its heathenistic counterpart. But it invites state absolutism at the
extremes, the pre-democratic or anti-social democratic extreme of the apex on
the one hand, and the post-democratic or social democratic extreme at the base
on the other hand, and in neither case is there much evidence of male values or
of a male lead of society. On the
contrary, the whole ethos of state absolutism arises out of a want of male
resolve and through a rejection, in effect, of Catholic criteria such that
results in the aforementioned state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis of
Protestant antecedents which tends, in the course of time, towards an
increasingly secular decadence or degeneration the more ineffectual
pseudo-Christianity proves itself to be in the face of state-hegemonic values,
of which vanity and justice are not the least!
For it is the proletariat’s plea for justice that, if granted social
democratic leverage, tends to encourage a backlash which would not be short on vanity
if the extent to which its resort to public exhibitions and spectacles is
anything to judge by! Justice is
precisely the antichemical fatality of democratic societies, except that in the
liberal case it is held in check, one might say, by the pseudo-righteousness of
its physical counterpart and not encouraged, at least not consciously, to take
on an absolutist form such that would result in the social democratic vengeance
of the proletariat upon the bourgeoisie.
Justice without pseudo-righteousness is the state absolutism of social
democratic totalitarianism, and one can see without probing too deeply how much
more female-oriented such a totalitarian outcome will be, since it is the
logical extrapolation from antichemical justice and the enemy, in consequence,
of physical pseudo-righteousness, which, in rejecting pseudo-Christianity (or
what it takes to be Christianity and ‘the Church’), specifically with regard to
its puritan aspect, it rightly adjudges bourgeois. Thus no longer a state-hegemonic/church-subordinate
partnership but, on the contrary, the overly-justice affirming state absolutism
which signifies the nadir of political and ideological degeneration, its
digging down into a black hole of female-based totalitarianism. Frankly, could anything be worse? Is not an equally female-based reaction to
this Bolshevistic nadir nazistically inevitable? History would confirm as much, and if the one
is Marxistic then the other is surely Hegelian to a degree which leaves one in
little doubt that any claim for ultimate or absolute justice by that segment of
the people dubbed proletariat will be met by an equally absolutist approach to
vanity, an approach no-less scornful of church-subordinate pseudo-meekness, and
anxious to stamp out the tightening of somatic binding from a much looser and
freer somatic vantage-point, one geared, in effect, to war and, ultimately, to
total war as the vengeance of the metachemically reactionary upon the
antichemically precocious.
11. Such
antithetical state-hegemonic absolutist scenarios are virtually inconceivable
within a church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axial context, as in the Republic
of Ireland, where neither Hegelian nor Marxist state worship could hope to
prevail against the male-led current which lifts life from a somatic emphasis,
whether in binding or in freedom, to a psychic emphasis, an emphasis upon
psyche which will be either bound and sinful and/or pseudo-criminal or free and
graceful and/or pseudo-punishing, according to gender. Such a society, when not subject to a kind of
blue-shirt reaction to secular encroachments of a communistic and therefore
effectively alien or unrepresentative order in defence of the Church, will
rather tend towards the possibility of a sort of church absolutism, which would
not be incompatible with my own concept of ‘Kingdom Come’ in relation to Social
Theocracy and hence the service, from a sort of administrative aside, of a
religiously sovereign people should a majority mandate be forthcoming in the
event of a paradoxical election in which the possibility of religious
sovereignty was on the table as the only means by which the people could secure
deliverance not only from their own – in relation to the axis in question –
anti-omega/alpha worldly limitations, as already described, but also from those
predatory exploitations to which they remain subject in the event of continuing
exposure to the vanities and justices, coupled, in the male contexts, to
pseudo-meeknesses and pseudo-righteousnesses of state-hegemonic/church-subordinate
society and thus, in effect, to the freedoms and bindings of the other axis,
the secular product, with or without Hegelian or Marxist extremism, of
schismatic heresy. Now such a new
‘absolutism’ as that to which I allude in the event of the aforementioned
majority mandate in a paradoxical election, might well find itself confronted
by a right-wing backlash analogous to fascism, whether internally or
externally, and that problem would have to be dealt with in due course. For if Social Democracy invites a right-wing
backlash in the form of Nazism, or some such defence of secular freedom, then
it is not inconceivable that Social Theocracy would incur a similar backlash,
relative to its own axis, in the form of a fascistic defence of traditional
Catholic values, principally by those who hadn’t voted for religious
sovereignty out of loyalty to the Church and fear or mistrust of the
consequences. However that may or may
not be, there can be no question that whether Social Theocracy would incur as
much reaction, in its own church-hegemonic/state-subordinate context, as Social
Democracy did in relation to state-hegemonic criteria, some reaction there
would certainly be, though with less justification, as far as I am concerned,
than attended the reaction to Social Democracy.
For state absolutism of a bound, or democratic, order is not to be
compared with church absolutism of a free, or theocratic, order, any more than
one could compare bound soma with free psyche.
The reaction to bound soma from the standpoint of free soma is one of
state-hegemonic ‘idealism’ vis-à-vis a more radical departure down the
state-hegemonic axis that takes somatic binding, or democratic solidarity, to a
new and altogether more absolutist order of humanism commensurate with the
proletariat. The reaction,
hypothetically, to free psyche from the standpoint of bound psyche, on the
other hand, would be one of church-hegemonic ‘realism’ vis-à-vis a more radical
elevation up the church-hegemonic axis that aimed to take psychic freedom, or
theocratic individuality, to a new and altogether more absolutist order of
suprahumanism commensurate with God. No
small difference! The ‘ideal’ on the
church-hegemonic axis does not lie ‘down below’, with the broad masses, any
more than does the ‘ideal’, somewhat materialistic and antifundamentalistic, of
state-hegemonic axial criteria, but ‘up above’, and therefore any resistance to
theocratic progress ‘from below’ would be ideologically and morally less
justified than resistance, across the axial divide, to democratic ‘progress’ –
in reality regress – ‘from above’, even if a certain degree of resistance or
reaction to the said theocratic progress would have to be expected in light of
the fact that not all those ‘down below’ are genuinely committed to ‘world
overcoming’ and an end, in consequence, to their own worldly shortcomings and
failings, never mind to deliverance from the sorts of commercial exploitations
which, from a contrary axial standpoint, take full advantage of those
shortcomings and failings. But, that
said, it would be unrealistic to suppose that most of those ‘down below’ were
predisposed to reaction from an unduly conventional or traditional Catholic
standpoint when the great majority happen to fall into the category of lapsed
or quasi-secularized Catholics, who are precisely the ones who would have most
to gain from being delivered from the secular predations of the
state-hegemonic, following the overhaul of their own church-hegemonic axis in
the manner described.
12. For
those who accuse me of ‘extremism’, let me say that the absolutism to which I,
as a self-professed Social Theocrat, subscribe is not only contrary to any
autocratic extremism, but the only means whereby the lapsed Catholic urban
majorities of countries like Eire could be delivered from their worldly
relativities, whether or not such relativities are commensurate with
moderation, and thus from the kinds of predations that take advantage of them
from a largely autocratic point of view, even if such autocracy tends to have its
extremism militated by pluralism and by notions of democratic
accountability. Sure, Social Theocracy
is extreme, but you do not combat one order of extremism with moderation, with
relativity, since such extremism has its own less than Social Democratic mode
of relativity in economic partnership with it down the state-hegemonic axis,
and the only other mode of relativity happens to pertain to those who are in
the front line, so to speak, of being preyed upon by the vain and pseudo-meek
fruits of commercial exploitation. God
and his female corollary the Antidevil are extreme, or noumenally
absolutist, as befits the respective ‘natures’ of metaphysics and
antimetachemistry, and it would be a rare privilege for those who were less
than godly or antidevilish to gradually find themselves becoming more so in
proportion as they were delivered both from themselves and their
netherworldly/anti-otherworldly exploiters, something that is not likely to
happen as long as they remain the subject of relative restrictions taking place
under the cover of moderation and other such simplistic if not duplistic
terms. But human life cannot level with
absolutism or extremism or noumenal sensibility – call it what you like – for
long or in any great numbers, least of all where godly and antidevilish
criteria are concerned, which is precisely why it can only be conceived of and
developed in conjunction with cyborgization and the gradual transmutation of
the relevant human material towards levels and stages of life which would
be more at home in a comparatively absolutist context, and not simply for the
sake of cyborgization, important as that is, but in order to remain at a
discreet remove from the contexts in which commercial exploitation take place
and to be able to handle the modified synthetic stimulants that would encourage
inner development more painlessly and lastingly than would otherwise be
possible, thereby turning life around, for those concerned, from a context in
which they were subject to the impositions of, among other things, filmic outer
light to one in which they were in control of their own inner light and able to
develop an enhanced sense of inner freedom in consequence. For only psychic freedom of a metaphysical
and, for females, antimetachemical order is commensurate with godliness and
antidevilishness and, hence, with the righteous and pseudo-just retort to the
tyrannical impositions of vanity and pseudo-meekness to which the quasi-vain
(lapsed female catholic pseudo-vain) and quasi-pseudo-meek (lapsed male catholic
meek) will otherwise continue to remain subject, to the detriment of their
souls and of all that is graceful and wise in metaphysical transcendentalism
and idealism, coupled, for females, to all that is pseudo-punishing and
pseudo-good in antimetachemical antifundamentalism and antimaterialism, as
described in previous texts in relation to this elevated distinction between
noumenal sensibility and noumenal anti-sensuality, eternity and anti-infinity,
‘celestial city’ and ‘anti-vanity fair’, the focal points not simply of truth
and beauty but of the truthful approach to beauty and the beautiful approach to
truth such as are the prerequisites not simply of joy and love but of the
joyful approach to love and the loving approach to joy, joy no less soulfully
heavenly than the joyful approach to love is spiritually heavenly; love no less
spiritually anti-hellish than the loving approach to joy is soulfully
anti-hellish and therefore the female compliment, for all anti-infinity, to the
joy of Heaven. All this is
incontrovertible. Whether the people
will accept it remains to be seen, but then so, too, does the capacity to
deliver salvation and counter-damnation to them more efficaciously, and thus to
provide the necessary inducements which, stemming ‘from above’, should
encourage them to leave their low estate for pastures new.
13. Some
will think me anti-democratic, but I do not see myself in terms of being
against democracy per se, like an
authoritarian autocrat, but rather as someone who upholds what he believes to
lie beyond democracy and to require a majority mandate from the electorate if,
as Social Theocracy, it is to emerge as the logical successor to political
sovereignty and in some sense as its fulfilment and vindication. For democracy will not have delivered the
people from autocratic tyranny, whether such tyranny masks as theocracy or not,
if they do not utilize it, in due course, to vote for religious sovereignty and
thus for freedom not only from Creatoresque primitivity but, more importantly,
for psychic self-development in relation to metaphysical and, for females,
antimetachemical sensibility. Yet there
are different approaches, it has to be said, to democracy, and clearly the
British approach is not one that logically lends itself to notions of ‘world
overcoming’ and psychic emancipation.
Rather it is a sort of end-in-itself which, while fighting shy of Social
Democracy, is held in check by Constitutional Autocracy in the form of the
Monarchy and is thus the counter pole in the maintenance of
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate continuity and consistency. If this is democracy per se, then it
is axially incompatible with the prospect of ‘Kingdom Come’ in relation to the
utilization of democracy to a Social Theocratic end. So, in that sense, democracy is
incapable of its own self-overcoming except in the overly just context of
Social Democracy, which would only signify a further regression of popular
sovereignty. Clearly, democracy as an
end-in-itself, whether on a liberal or a social democratic basis, is something
I do not and cannot approve of; but that is only because, as someone of Irish
Catholic descent, I do not relate to state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axial
criteria. Thus the kind of democracy I
can condone, without being overly partial to it, bears little resemblance to
the British variety, being, if anything, the traditional handmaiden of
church-hegemonic criteria, if, in this age of Americanization, much less so
than before on account of the extent to which the people of countries like Eire
come under American cultural influence and think and behave in a
quasi-state-hegemonic fashion, whether as quasi-vain chemical females vis-à-vis
metachemical vanity or as quasi-pseudo-meek antiphysical males vis-à-vis
antimetaphysical pseudo-meekness. Yet
that is only a transitional phase, the way I see it, to the possibility of a
renewal, through an overhaul of the traditional system, of church-hegemonic
criteria in relation to Social Theocracy and thus of an end to the paradoxical
state of affairs which, while theoretically rooted in traditional
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria, strains, almost heliotropically,
towards the American brand of state-hegemonic/church-subordinate influence
raining down from the overhauled manifestation of the schismatic axis, the
manifestation that, contrary to Britain or to British tradition, is more
genuine at the free somatic apex than at the bound somatic base and thus
upholds its own version of autocratic freedom at the expense of democratic
binding. The British, for all their talk
of freedom, are traditionally and overwhelmingly a bound people for whom
loyalty to the reigning monarch – ‘long to reign over’ them – is virtually
sacrosanct, whereas the Americans, despite their adherence to what I would call
pseudo-democracy ‘down below’, are much more open, in cultural terms, to that
which appertains, in modified autocratic fashion, to the apex of the
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis, as the exemplification, par
excellence, of somatic freedom. But
that is precisely the kind of freedom which the lapsed Catholic majority of
countries like Eire need to be delivered from if they are to reap the benefit,
through a renewal of church-hegemonic criteria, of psychic freedom, the
noumenal antithesis, across the axial divide, to what passes for freedom in the
contemporary Americanized world. Only
with a majority mandate for religious sovereignty in a paradoxical election can
steps be taken to reorientate the concept and reality of freedom in such
fashion that the Irish people will no longer be at cross-purposes, under
American pressure, with their axial tradition but be enjoying the benefits of
its Social Theocratic overhaul and renewal.
For only the male lead of society towards a divine/antidiabolic salvation
can put an end to the female rule of society in diabolic/antidivine
undamnation, causing that which gradually finds itself bereft of unsaved
antimasculine/feminine prey to collapse, for want of economic viability, down
its own state-hegemonic axis into the just damnation of the
antifeminine/masculine. For in saving
the antimasculine/feminine the divine/antidiabolic will bring damnation to the
diabolic/antidivine, whose only hope of redemption will lie with the antifeminine/masculine
and the extent to which, in making the Damned over in their own image, they
prove themselves worthy to be swivelled across, as it were, to the foot of the
church-hegemonic axis and ‘made over’ in the image of those who had previously
been saved up it to divine/antidiabolic pastures ‘On High’, thereby exchanging
damnation for unsalvation as a precondition of salvation in due course, a
process duly applying to their damned church-subordinate co-religionists, as
also, of course, in respect of state-subordinate criteria and the inevitability
of counter-damnation as the bound somatic corollary of psychic freedom.
14. All
of this I have gone into before, so it is hardly new! I am not the mouth for the majority of
British or even American ears, to paraphrase Nietzsche, but the majority of
Irish ears and like-minded traditionally church-hegemonic/state-subordinate
peoples, and I speak less as an Irish Catholic than as a Social Theocrat, and
therefore one who is beyond the Church even as he is beyond the democracy that
appertains, if only in theory, to the Church, and axially distinct from
anything Social Democratic. If Social
Democracy is extreme Left statism, then Social Theocracy can only be extreme
Left churchism, the theocracy of radical progress as opposed, on the
state-hegemonic axis, to the democracy of radical regress. For there the people tend, when they are not
liberal democratic, down, as into a black hole or vacuum of absolute
justice, whereas over on the church-hegemonic axis of male-led criteria the
people will have the possibility, when not overly Roman theocratic, of tending up,
as into a white light or plenum of absolute righteousness coupled, for females,
to pseudo-justice, the antimetachemical counterpart, in antidiabolism, to the
divine righteousness of metaphysics.
15. Let
those who shout the loudest for justice remember that justice and righteousness
are incompatible, and that when justice has her way on the
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis righteousness can only be pseudo,
whereas when righteousness has his way on the
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis then justice can only be pseudo and,
hence, of subordinate significance. For
justice is a female, more specifically an antifeminine female when genuine and
an antidiabolic female when pseudo, but righteousness is a male, more
specifically a masculine male when pseudo and a divine male when genuine. These are the sensible pairings of two
separate and independent axes, two approaches to civilization, the justice/pseudo-righteousness
pairing sensibly antithetical to the vanity/pseudo-meekness pairing of the
female-ruled axis and the righteousness/pseudo-justice pairing sensibly
antithetical to the meekness/pseudo-vanity pairing of the male-led axis,
whether or not each axis is compromised by epochal overhaulings or
modifications, as described in previous texts.
16. Speaking
of two separate, independent axes, is it not the case that the square-topped
bus-stops used in London and, presumably, in much of Britain connote the
descending axis from noumenal sensuality/noumenal anti-sensibility to
phenomenal anti-sensuality/phenomenal sensibility which, in geometric terms, is
surely headed or, rather, ruled by squares, whether or not circles in squares
(as in the case of London bus-stops) are correlatively in accompaniment, the
same of course applying to rectangles in ovals or, more correctly once
antichemical subversion of the physical is taken into account, ovals in
rectangles for the relative base of the axis in question, both of which would
contrast with the ovals in rectangles or, again more correctly when once the
antiphysical subversion of the chemical is taken into account, rectangles in
ovals at the foot of the ascending axis from phenomenal
anti-sensibility/phenomenal sensuality to noumenal sensibility/noumenal
anti-sensuality which, in geometric terms, would surely be headed, or led, by
circles, whether or not squares in circles were correlatively in accompaniment,
and thus by the type of bus-stops found in Dublin and, presumably, throughout
Eire, which are demonstrably circular, or curvilinear, at the top and amply
reflective, in consequence, of the distinction between theocratic and
autocratic values which characterizes the two nations – Britain ruled by
autocratic squares and Ireland, or Eire, led by theocratic circles. All the difference, in short, between a
matriarchy, like Britain, and a patriarchy, like Eire, irrespective of
intermediate democratic factors in each case.
17. I am
often amazed, as an Irish citizen in Britain, a person of Irish birth, by the
fact that I am in Britain at all. What
the hell am I doing here? is a thought which is constantly brought home to me
by the clash between my ideological insights and alignments and the
state-hegemonic axial reality confronting me at every turn, not only at
bus-stops (which I rarely stand under since I catch a bus – those shiny red
things uncomfortably reminiscent, for me, of red phone booths and post-boxes –
only as a last resort), but in any number of different contexts and
circumstances, some of which are inescapable.
My only consolation is that I was not responsible for bringing myself to
Britain in the first place, though the fact that my father – an Irish Catholic
– married a woman who turned out to be less Irish and less Catholic, despite
her returning-from-Britain Irish-Catholic mother, than he may have at first
supposed, is doubtless at the roots of why I never knew him but was obliged to
grow up, first in Ireland and then in Britain, without the benefit of any paternal
parenting at all and with a mother whom I quickly came to despise for her
inability to take his place and fulfil his role. No wonder that when her mother died when I
was about nine or ten and was packed off back to Ireland – yet again! – my
mother lost no time in having me despatched to a Children’s Home in Carshalton
Beeches and effectively washed her hands with me, since I must have been
something of an imposition with no father around all that time and a painful
reminder of their incompatibility, something that can only have been in
consequence of her having been born and raised in Aldershot by dint of being
the daughter of an Ulster Protestant who had joined the British Army as a youth
and happened to be stationed there. But
when he died from unnatural causes apparently incurred in consequence of
military service overseas, then her mother, who had apparently met him when he
was on a tour of duty in Southern Ireland, wanted back to Ireland again, and
that meant, in those days of dependency, that her daughter would have to go
too, even though she was partly of British descent. Thus Mary Aldershot – as I subsequently leant
on a visit ‘home’ that various of my Galway relatives apparently thought of her
– found herself marrying an Irishman (which ideally she would have preferred
not to have done, so she once told me) who wasn’t long in growing disillusioned
with his choice of wife and running out on her, leaving them to take care of
their public house as best they could until, out of funds and with no prospect
of keeping it going, they were obliged to return to their old lodgings in
Aldershot … dragging me along with them.
Thus I, the Irish-born son of a Catholic Galwayman, grew up in
Aldershot, home of the British army! I
was and continued to be an outsider and social anomaly, who despises women
because he had too much experience of them in the one room he was obliged to
share with his somewhat resentfully cold mother and rheumatic grandmother as a
child. I am, if you will, an unfortunate
bastard who cares nothing for families, sexual relationships, or any of the
other norms of British or, indeed, Irish society, and it was in consequence of
this anomalous background, extending, as it did, from a sort of Irish Catholic
upbringing in Aldershot under my grandmother’s ethnic protection to an English
Baptist upbringing in Carshalton Beeches once my mother was free to get rid of
me and start again, that I was set on the road to becoming a writer and artist,
even if on a necessarily unrecognized basis in keeping with my unrepresentative
status and loner’s lifestyle.
Meanwhile, with me out of the way and her mother too, my mother was able
to get her life back together and make an attempt at carrying on as though
nothing had happened, which, in her case, meant marrying a black West Indian
and moving to Finsbury Park in north London.
Years later it all came to nothing, but I never saw that much of them in
any case and I have seen even less of my mother in recent years, while she, to
be best of my knowledge, has never made any effort to visit or do anything for
me. We are simply Irish/British poles
apart, and would rarely or never agree over things like Northern Ireland, which
I simply regarded as the consequence of British imperialism and not simply an
indigenous struggle between what some would have us believe were warring
tribes. I am myself a consequence of
ethnic antagonism and incompatibility, whatever various people may have done to
mask the fact, and even now I cannot visit Galway with any confidence that my
surviving relatives there would really wish to see me, in view of the goings on
between my father and mother in the past and the total want of any paternal
input into my upbringing, never mind the embarrassment, from an Irish Catholic
point of view, that it largely took place outside the country, in England, of
all places, and in Aldershot and Carshalton Beeches in particular! I am, from their standpoint, something best
‘brushed under the carpet’ as something that never happened, ‘out of sight’
being, as far as they’re concerned, ‘out of mind’. Thus I am an outsider in my native country
even as I protest my incompatibility with England and Britain in general,
detesting the axial irrelevance to my own preference, from a male standpoint,
for church-hegemonic criteria, albeit, in consequence of my exile and
upbringing, of a very different order to what prevails in Eire. For I am after all a self-styled Social
Theocrat, and therefore nothing but the democratic overthrow of religious
tradition would suit me. If I have never
loved my mother, I have only contempt and hatred towards my father, who proved
himself useless to me and harmful towards himself. No wonder that my general attitude towards
Irish males is cool to the point of sarcastic suspicion if not ironic contempt,
since my father is no father in any real sense, and I tend to regard all
Irishmen, in consequence, as guilty until proven innocent, the opposite, in
effect, of the mass English position of being innocent (of crime) until proven
guilty! But then Catholic males are
effectively guilty of sin until proven innocent by the grace that attends
penitential contrition. Well, they’ll
get no penitential contrition out of me, Baptist upbringing or no Baptist upbringing,
but only a merciless opposition to all things Catholic and Protestant that
stand in the way of Social Theocracy, and which Social Theocracy and Social
Theocracy alone can banish to the rubbish heap of history in the event of a
majority mandate for religious sovereignty and an end to all things Christian
and ethnically divisive in consequence!
I detest this half-and-half religion of worldly hypocrisy and
sanctimonious cant! I am absolutely
incapable, with good reason, of honouring my father and mother, neither of whom
honoured me, and long for the day when the Bible is no more, when, following
the righteous judgement of the people, it can be consigned to the rubbish heap
of history and cast out of evolving life, that life may evolve beyond anything
rooted in Creator-worship and slavish adherence to the negative doctrines of
the ‘thou shalt nots’. Not ‘thou shalt
not’ do something negative (a consequence in large part of the arrogation of
divine attributes to the diabolic which has the effect of muzzling its wilful
freedom as a metachemical, or diabolically female, entity) but ‘you can and
should’ do something positive would be the doctrine of Social Theocracy, not
least in relation to ‘self-realization’ through a variety of synthetic
hallucinogens or psychogenic stimulants.
You can and should become, according to gender, either godly or
antidevilish, and thus part company with your lowly estate in the
alpha/anti-omega world, not least since what that makes you vulnerable to is
considerably less than godly or antidevilish, being, even by Old Testament
standards, devilish and antigodly! Away
with this lie and anti-truth once the truth and its anti-lie female corollary
sets you free. For only truth (coupled
to the anti-lie) can set you free, as antimasculine males and feminine females,
from yourselves and from those diabolic females and antidivine males who
cynically avail of your limitations to commercially prey upon you and rip you
off. But, really, it is males who will
be set free of psychic binding in psychic freedom and, despite diplomatic
rhetoric from above, females who will be counter-damned up from somatic freedom
to somatic binding, as far as would be compatible with the main gender emphases
in each case. For life is and remains a
gender struggle, and who knows that better than I, who witnessed and
experienced the consequences of gender incompatibility complicated by ethnic
and even class factors as a child? A
beautiful approach to truth and a loving approach to joy is all very well in
secondary church-hegemonic terms, but beauty and love are still more
significant from a female standpoint, and that is precisely the
state-subordinate standpoint of antimetachemical bound soma which I like to
regard as secondary (in theory) compared to the truthful approach to beauty and
joyful approach to love of its male counterpart which, as we all know, is much
less significant, as Son of God and Holy Spirit of Heaven, than God and Heaven
in the truth and joy of metaphysical free psyche. Therefore just as primary state-subordinate
criteria are an offshoot of primary church-hegemonic criteria in metaphysics,
so secondary church-hegemonic criteria are an offshoot of secondary
state-subordinate criteria in antimetachemistry. God the Father may be of more metaphysical
significance than the Son of God but, believe me, Antidevil the Antimother is
of more antimetachemical significance than the Antidaughter of the Antidevil,
whatever rhetoric, aiming at church parallelism, may have to say to the
contrary! And, by a like token, while
Heaven the Holy Soul may be of more metaphysical significance than the Holy
Spirit of Heaven, Antihell the Unclear Spirit can only remain of more
antimetachemical significance than the Unclear Soul of Antihell. For even in noumenal sensibility and noumenal
anti-sensuality males and females remain different and separate creatures, for
whom the age-old difference between psyche preceding and predominating over
soma in the one case and soma preceding and predominating over psyche in the
other case will continue, despite cyborgistic modifications in the course of
time, to exist. In the final analysis
there will still be Eternity and Anti-Infinity, not simply an Omega Point but
an accompanying Anti-Alpha Point for that which is antimetachemically less than
metaphysics and accordingly more anti-upperclass than classless.
18. It is
this sense of the dual gender nature of ‘Kingdom Come’ that precludes me from
falling into utopian error. For the
utopian thinker invariably reduces everything to one gender, whether male or
female, and simply subsumes the opposite gender into his reductionist
ideal. But that is the last thing I
could be accused of doing! With me two
gender standpoints always have to be accounted for, and no sooner have you
accounted for the hegemonic gender’s position in relation to God and Heaven
than you must also account for the subordinate gender’s position in relation to
the Antidevil and Antihell, as in the above-mentioned context of Eternity and
Anti-Infinity, the former male and the latter female. An inability or failure to divide your
thinking in this way will simply lead to utopian error, whereby it will be
assumed that everyone can be subsumed into God and Heaven irrespective of
gender. Nothing, however, could be
further from the truth, and the sooner people come to realize this, in
rejection of the contemporary tendency to undermine gender discrimination in
all walks of life, the better it will be for all concerned, females
included! Actually, what one has these
days, in the wake of the undermining of gender differentiation and
discrimination as a symptom of bourgeois and/or Western decadence, is the
American-led tendency to go beyond Western decadence on an alpha-stemming
global basis which is more openly sensual than degenerately sensible and
consequently nearer to affirming gender inequality in terms of a female
hegemony, the sort of hegemony which one would have characterized as being
somehow compatible with the more blatant aspects of sensuality issuing via
cathode-ray-tube technology and the like, not least in respect of females being
coitally dominant over males. Frankly,
there is about much contemporary Anglo-American culture a parallel with
Greco-Roman culture whereby matriarchal criteria take precedence over anything
patriarchal in typically heathenistic vein.
Certainly the coming of Christianity changed all that, and it was not
until the Reformation and the ascendancy of Protestantism that the balance
began to tip back the other way, towards the secular openness we find ourselves
living under today and the almost taking for granted of female hegemonic
criteria in certain countries which, though not openly admitted to, spring from
a want of gender discrimination and differentiation – indeed, crawl out of the
gender equalitarianism which Western decadence, in the sense of bourgeois
Protestant culture, encouraged. For if
you give a creature who is a XX-chromosomal negativity a proverbial inch of
liberal licence she will sooner or later take a mile of wilful illiberality in
the sort of pluralistic autocracy which characterizes contemporary
American-lead secular culture. Such is
the heathenistic outcome of post-Reformation schism and heresy, and, frankly,
it stinks to high hell! So let those of
us who still cling, no matter how fitfully or pessimistically, to
church-hegemonic criteria remain faithful – as, indeed, did the Nazis despite
their state-hegemonic aberrations – to gender discrimination and the
possibility of its overhaul and renewal via Social Theocracy at some future
date. Let us continue to remain outside
the Anglo-American liberal conspiracy against church-hegemonic values which
both autocracy and democracy represent in their opposite ways, but let us work,
more importantly, for the overhaul of traditional bureaucratic/theocratic norms
in order that the majority of our people may be saved and counter-damned from
the secular impositions which state-hegemonic societies continue to inflict
upon their less secular and more traditionally faithful neighbours. For it is not our destiny to follow the Anglo-Saxon
model of liberal secularity, but to lead others in the development of a radical
theocratic alternative to this heathenistic blight which is the immoral fruit
of schismatic heresy.
19. The
church-subordinate pseudo-Christians may encourage the spread of female
ministers, since their Anglican to Puritan axis is characterized by the
domination of female criteria over anything male, whether unequivocally in the
subordination of antimetaphysics to metachemistry or equivocally in the
subversion of physics by antichemistry, but it would be quite out of order for
the Roman Catholic Church to follow suit, given its tradition of male
domination, whether equivocally in the subversion of chemistry by antiphysics
or unequivocally in the subordination of antimetachemistry to metaphysics. Whether society is ruled by females or led by
males is so crucial to the distinction between
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate and church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axial
criteria … that it would be inconceivable for either approach to civilization
to do a deal with the other and fudge the issue as of small moment. The Protestant situation is a consequence, in
no small measure, of the liberal heresy of gender equalitarianism, and it is
against this error that Social Theocracy must carry on from where Roman
Catholicism left off, renewing the sense of gender discrimination which first
Protestantism and then Liberalism did their best to eclipse, so that, with us,
things become even more logically and methodically discriminatory than was the
case in the Catholic past, when, in consequence of a genuine ‘below’ and a
pseudo ‘above’, a true sense of metaphysics vis-à-vis antmetachemistry did not
come to pass and the ‘above’ resorted to a verbal absolution ‘fudge’ that
pandered, in some sense, to the ‘below’ while still being hamstrung, over and
above this, by traditional alpha-based concepts of divinity which are
themselves the product of an arrogation of divine attributes to the diabolic in
the guise of Devil the Mother hyped as God.
No wonder, then, that the omega-oriented position was less than properly
differentiated along metaphysical/antimetachemical grounds. For a metaphysical postulate at the level –
necessarily Christian – of mankind would not entail allegiance to the concept
of ‘sacred heart’ so much as allegiance to the concept of ‘sacred lungs’, and
thus to a TM-like break, Buddhist-like, with the tradition, open to either
gender, of verbal absolution for penitential contrition. Such was never the case, and therefore the
Church, for all its metaphysical aspirations, remained the victim of
metachemical/antimetaphysical conventions stretching back, Old Testament-wise,
to Judaism. This want of true
differentiation above is what condemns the Church from a Social Theocratic standpoint
and exposes its Western limitations even vis-à-vis Eastern transcendentalism,
of which transcendental meditation is the epitome and acme of mankind’s
departure from either natural or cosmic subservience. But even radical Buddhism, being Eastern, is
of mankind and thus no long-term alternative to Roman Catholicism as the most
religiously representative manifestation of Western civilization. Global civilization transcends both the West
and the East, and is therefore beyond even TM in its commitment to
synthetically artificial values, whether, as at present, with a sensual bias
or, hopefully in the future, following a Social Theocratic revolution, with a
markedly sensible one. And it is for us
to develop the gender differential between metaphysics and antimetachemistry to
its logical conclusions in the interests of a virtuous circle of Eternity and
Anti-Infinity, Time and Antispace, Celestial City and Anti-Vanity Fair,
classlessness and anti-upperclassness, God and Antidevil, Heaven and Antihell,
Yang and Anti-Yin, Lamb and Anti-Lion and/or Wolf, Truth and the beautiful
approach to Truth, Joy and the loving approach to Joy, not to mention, where
state-subordinate (bound somatic) criteria are concerned, the truthful approach
to Beauty and Beauty, the joyful approach to Love and Love.
20. Thus
we will not suffer from the Western-inspired fudge which tends to make a nec plus ultra out of Love, the concomitant
of Beauty. As I said before, love is a
very secondary deal from a heavenly standpoint, which, being primary
church-hegemonic, will always be centred in Joy, as, where God is concerned, in
Truth. But Truth, and thus joy, is not
possible so long as the lie of Devil the Mother hyped as God continues to hold
anything noumenally contrary to itself, in sensibility, back from full
revelation and realization, thereby causing Love (and Beauty) to be exaggerated
out of all proportion to their actual (antimetachemical) worth. Only when this is rejected, following a majority
mandate for religious sovereignty, will it be possible for what is really true
to ‘come out’ and ‘stand tall’, independently of all alpha-based arrogations
and able to master beauty and love and subordinate them to itself. Then it will not be logically possible to
speak religiously in the name of Love but rather in the name of Joy as primary
church-hegemonic and, from a female standpoint, the loving approach to Joy as
secondary church-hegemonic … within the overall context of the Centre,
relegating the joyful approach to Love and, for females, Love to primary and
secondary, metaphysical and antimetachemical, manifestations of state
subordination within that self-same or, more correctly, notself-same
otherworldly/anti-netherworldly relativistic absolutism ... of
post-church/state worldly relativity which I have identified with the Centre,
whether or not one prefers to consider the ‘state’ aspect of it Social
Theocratic and the ‘church’ aspect of it Social Transcendentalist as I, for
one, would, if only because the service and protection of a religiously
sovereign people would be a different proposition from their religious rights
in the Centre-proper, not least in respect of their defence from internal
subversion or even outside interference.
21. I
spoke, a while ago, of the overhaul of traditional bureaucratic/theocratic
criteria in relation to the church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis, which was
of course contrasted with the autocratic/democratic criteria of the
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis.
In reality, however, things are more complicated that that, since
neither axis, whether traditional or overhauled, is commensurate with one
criterion at either pole, so to speak, but is divisible between the ideological
equivalents of both gender positions in each case, making for a distinction
between, say, autocracy and antitheocracy in relation to the Northwest point of
the state-hegemonic axis and between antibureaucracy and democracy in relation
to the Southeast point of the said axis, with a similar, if contrary,
distinction between antidemocracy and bureaucracy in relation to the Southwest
point of the church-hegemonic axis and between theocracy and anti-autocracy in
relation to the Northeast point of the same axis. Therefore contrary to a simple polarity
between autocracy and democracy, we find that autocracy is unequivocally
hegemonic over antitheocracy like Vanity Fair over Anti-Celestial City, while
antibureaucracy is equivocally subversive of democracy like Anti-Slough of
Despond of Mr Worldy Wise, autocracy and antibureaucracy being metachemically
and antichemically antithetical in relation to female criteria, antitheocracy
and democracy being antimetaphysically and physically antithetical in relation
to male criteria. Likewise, contrary to
a simple polarity between bureaucracy and theocracy, we find that antidemocracy
is equivocally subversive of bureaucracy like Anti-Mr Worldly Wise of the
Slough of Despond, while theocracy is unequivocally hegemonic over
anti-autocracy like the Celestial City over Anti-Vanity Fair, antidemocracy and
theocracy being antiphysically and metaphysically antithetical in relation to
male criteria, bureaucracy and anti-autocracy being chemically and
antimetachemically antithetical in relation
to female criteria. Hence, in
gender terms, a link, in the primary state-hegemonic case, between diabolic
female and antifeminine female positions in respect of noumenal sensuality and
phenomenal anti-sensuality is juxtaposed with a link, in the secondary
state-hegemonic case, between antidivine male and masculine male positions in
respect of noumenal anti-sensibility and phenomenal sensibility, and the
overall axial context would be geometrically akin to a circle within a square
above and an oval within a rectangle below, at the base of the axis in
question. Similarly, a link, in the
primary church-hegemonic case, between antimasculine male and divine male
positions in respect of phenomenal anti-sensibility and noumenal sensibility
would be juxtaposed with a link, in the secondary church-hegemonic case,
between feminine female and antidiabolic female positions in respect of
phenomenal sensuality and noumenal anti-sensuality, with the overall axial
context being geometrically akin to a rectangle within an oval below and a
square within a circle above, at the apex of the axis in question. Therefore far from a simple polarity between
autocratic and democratic factors in the one axial case and bureaucratic and
theocratic factors in the other, we find that the actual polarities, based in
gender distinctions between objectivity and subjectivity and/or their
respective negations, are rather more between autocracy and antibureaucracy
coupled to antitheocracy and democracy in the case of the
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis, but between antidemocracy and
theocracy coupled to bureaucracy and anti-autocracy in the case of the
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis.
Nothing, therefore, could be more misleadingly false than to contend
that the axes are the result of simple polarities between two singular factors
in each case. Both democracy in relation
to the one axis and bureaucracy in relation to the other, the former male and
the latter female, are merely equivocally hegemonic and therefore subject to
subversion by their respective under-plane corollaries, viz. antibureaucracy
and antidemocracy, acting at the behest of the corresponding unequivocally
hegemonic gender position ‘on high’ which, whether autocratic or theocratic, is
able to link, at the subordinate expense of antitheocracy or anti-autocracy,
depending on the axis, with its gender counterpart ‘down below’ and permit of
the latter’s subversive influence on the equivocally hegemonic factor, be it
democratic or bureaucratic, to a gender-conditioned
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate or church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axial
outcome which will remain both consistent with itself and capable of lasting
continuity and stability. The circle in
a square leading to the oval in a rectangle of the one axis is no less the
product of female domination in overall axial terms than is the rectangle in an
oval leading to the square in a circle the product, in overall axial terms, of
male domination. You no more achieve a
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axial integrity on the basis of a male lead
of society than a church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axial integrity on the
basis of a female rule of society.
Rather, the contrary is true in each case, and that is why autocracy and
antibureaucracy are the primary poles and antitheocracy and democracy the
secondary poles of the one axis, but antidemocracy and theocracy the primary
poles and bureaucracy and anti-autocracy the secondary poles of the other
axis. Thus in overall
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axial terms the upper-class objectivity of
autocracy and the anti-classless anti-subjectivity of antitheocracy form a
noumenal pairing which contrasts with the phenomenally anti-lowerclass
anti-objectivity of antibureaucracy and the middle-class subjectivity of
democracy as metachemistry links with antichemistry and antimetaphysics with
physics, whereas in overall church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axial terms the
classless subjectivity of theocracy and the anti-upperclass anti-objectivity of
anti-autocracy form a noumenal pairing which contrasts with the phenomenally
anti-middleclass anti-subjectivity of antidemocracy and the lower-class
objectivity of bureaucracy as metaphysics links with antiphysics and
antimetachemistry with chemistry.
Traditionally, all this does of course work from the top down, as
outlined above, though increasingly we find that in a post-worldly age it is
rather more from the bottom up, so that the relationships are somewhat reversed
and we find that antibureaucracy leads to autocracy and democracy to
antitheocracy in the one axial case and, at the risk of seeming precocious,
antidemocracy leads to theocracy and bureaucracy to anti-autocracy in the other
axial case, a case which has yet to achieve a comparable overall of its own
axial integrity to that which characterizes the overhaul of British state-hegemonic/church-subordinate
axial criteria by American axial criteria of a similar, if converse,
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate bent, an overhaul that would shift the focus
from the ‘below’ to the ‘above’ as the pseudo nature of the former increasingly
came under the more genuine nature of the latter as things progressed towards a
‘Kingdom Come’-like scenario in which the ‘above’ sought to effect, in the
manner previously described in this and other texts, a more efficacious and
permanent salvation and counter-damnation of the ‘below’, thereby delivering
both the pseudo-feminine and pseudo-antimasculine from their own
pseudo-alpha/pseudo-antiomega worldly limitations and the
netherworldly/anti-otherworldly predations to which they remain perforce subjected
as quasi-vain (female) and quasi-pseudo-meek (male) departures from traditional
catholic meek and pseudo-vain positions, their
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate norms twisted towards
quasi-state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria by the noumenally sensual/noumenally
anti-sensible impositions which daily rain down upon them from the apex of the
other axis and remove them from the sphere of conventional catholic salvation
and counter-damnation. Only the overhaul,
as I say, of this axis will permit salvation and counter-damnation to once more
come back onto the agenda, and with a vengeance! For the salvation and counter-damnation of
the pseudo-phenomenally anti-sensible and their female counterparts the
pseudo-phenomenally sensual to genuine noumenal sensibility and noumenal
anti-sensuality in metaphysics and antimetachemistry will ultimately bring
about the undoing of state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria and effect the
damnation and counter-salvation of those who now prey upon them down to their
own ‘lower orders’, from where they will be judged and ‘made over’ in the
pseudo-antialpha/pseudo-omega worldly images of those already there as a
precondition of subsequent transmutation as and when it becomes politic for the
latter to be swivelled across to the foot of the
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis and duly saved and counter-damned up in
the wake of the lapsed Catholic majority of that axis. But that would be a very long-term process,
and in the meantime there is much to be done to effect the overhaul of our own
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis in such fashion that the majority are
no longer removed from the possibility of salvation and counter-damnation but
are able to embrace a totally new concept of deliverance from their worldly
plight to pastures both new and higher, in their more genuine nature, than have
ever existed before, with potentials for ‘world overcoming’ that would put the
Catholic tradition to shame. For the
world or, in this case, the pseudo-worldly positions of both the
pseudo-feminine and their pseudo-antimasculine counterparts, is not to be taken
lightly but regarded as something from which to be delivered if those who now
avail of it in state-hegemonic/church-subordinate fashion are to be brought low
and their pseudo-worldly victims raised up to new and altogether unprecedented
heights of salvation and counter-damnation.
22. The
overhaul of traditional, or worldly, state-hegemonic/church-subordinate
criteria by America has led to a society the reverse of Britain, or at least of
what Britain used to be before it came under American influence and effective
political domination, a domination which has played no small part in keeping
Britain at loggerheads with much of continental Europe and its struggle for
European unity. For while Britain could
traditionally be described as a country whose sense of fulcrum or ‘ideal’, no
matter how misguided, is, being democratic and puritan, of the Many, its
American counterpart is decidedly a country whose active ideal, if not always
sense of fulcrum, being autocratic and ‘anglican’, if not quasi-Judaic or
Indian fundamentalist, is of the Few, meaning, principally, those who best
represent its metachemical and even antimetaphysical freedoms in respect of
soma, whether culturally, as in film, or socially, as in wealth in consequence
of free enterprise of a highly successful order. America is much more a country where life
appears to revolve around the Few, not least in respect of Hollywood, and what
the Few are doing or about to do is of paramount interest, it would appear, to
the lives of the Many. Now although
Britain has a degree of this, not least in relation to the Monarchy, it is much
less typical of the country overall, which would seem to be more interested in
football and pop music and other manifestations of popular culture that, at
times, veer towards social democracy without ever quite parting company with
the liberal traditions of parliamentary democracy and Puritanism. Now in the traditional Irish case, for
example, there is also a fair amount of interest in the below as opposed to the
above, if from a contrary axial point of view, and I would argue that hurling
and folk music are exemplifications of this alpha/anti-omega worldly situation. But if the overhaul of this axis, one which
is traditionally church-hegemonic/state-subordinate, is not to happen
elsewhere, like Australia, then there may come a time when the focus of
attention will switch from the Many to the Few, the below to the above, since
the new ‘above’ will not be priestly in character but, hopefully, social
theocratic, and therefore dedicated to providing the means whereby a more
efficacious order of salvation and counter-damnation may be provided to the
Many with intent, little by little, to transforming them into the Few, lifting
them out of their corporeal limitations via a system of procedures oriented
towards the utmost ethereal freedom in respect of psyche. Thus, if the Many are bound to be the focus
of attention in a system which cannot provide such a transformation in their
predicament, then, with the development of an alternative and higher system
geared to religious freedom of an ultimate order, the focus is bound to switch
to the Few, both initially, during their consolidation of the means of enhanced
elevation, and subsequently, as, following a process of
centre-complexification, more and more of the Many are transformed into the Few
as their corporeal limitations are overcome with the advancement of
otherworldly and anti-netherworldly criteria.
But this will be so antithetically contrary to the American approach to
the Few as to bear little or no resemblance to it, being, if anything, inner
rather than outer and centripetal rather than centrifugal, with an emphasis
upon the light within as opposed, in cinematic vein, to the light without, the
light that emanates from countless movie cameras and cinema screens and TV
screens as the medium in which soma acts out her wilful freedom to the grim
tune, more usually, of infinite death, not least in respect of the depiction of
war and violence generally.
23. As I
am writing this book on a blog-like basis, with more drastic shifts between one
topic and another than is usually found in my work, I will continue now with a
discussion of the relative axial merits of association football and gaelic
football, which, as the reader may have discovered from earlier texts, I
consider to lie at the opposite poles to rugby (or its American extrapolation
‘Gridiron’) in the one case and to hurling in the other case, so that
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria offer a polar distinction between
the noumenal freedom of rugby (or ‘Gridiron’) and the phenomenal binding of
association football (or ‘soccer’) within an axis primarily characterized by
soma and only subordinately by psyche, whereas
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria offer, by contrast, a polar
distinction between the phenomenal binding (to hurleys) of hurling and the
noumenal freedom of gaelic football within an axis primarily characterized by psyche
and only subordinately by soma. This
much has, I think, been well established in the past, and it is not something I
wish to enlarge on here. What I can say
is that football, in the more prevalent sense usually associated with soccer,
easily lends itself, despite its physical/antichemical association with liberal
criteria, to social democratic proclivities wherein the antichemical aspect of
such a duality tends, in its association with justice of a more absolutist
order, to become prominent at the expense of physical
pseudo-righteousness. Whether or not
this is reflected in the way football is played, there should be no doubt that
a game as phenomenally bound as football, which penalizes handling, would not
and could not suffice to exemplify or accompany a social theocratic
predilection, and that wherever it is played, which includes most countries
these days, it can only have the effect of turning peoples, not least when
Catholic, away from the possibility of Social Theocracy as it panders to a craving,
expressed or unexpressed, for Social Democracy, since that is the only thing
further down the said state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis that could be
viewed as an alternative to liberal democracy.
I am not saying that football is social democratic, but there can be no
question that adherence to such a sport, which manifestly is not Catholic in
character but of English Protestant antecedents, will not do much to encourage
people to yearn for a social theocratic alternative to existing or traditional
Catholic norms but, rather, will in some sense corrupt Catholic peoples from
the path of church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria. Which is not an allegation one could level at
gaelic football, that noumenally free game which is the national sport of the
Republic of Ireland and one that is not only Catholic in character but, with
Celtic factors, more than Catholic and potentially social theocratic or, at any
rate, of a disposition which, given certain modifications suitable to an indoor
arena, could level with a social theocratic ideological bent in a way that
football never could, not even if and when subject to indoor or electronic
roofing modifications itself. No, there
can be no question that football is dangerously irrelevant from a social
theocratic standpoint, and therefore more congenial to those who would advance
social democratic criteria at the expense of traditional norms, whether
Catholic or otherwise. Even the drug
thing would seem, in its orientation towards psychic freedom, to have less
relevance to a context like association football than to one which, like gaelic
football, or so-called football, does manifest a transcendentalist dimension in
the scoring of points over the bar between the vertical uprights that tower
above the goal and its containing net, and therefore stands closer to a godly
resolve such that would embrace Social Theocracy if it were to stand
antithetical, across the axial divide, to ‘Gridiron’ and not merely, as at
present within the overall context of the British Isles, to rugby. However that may be, there can be no doubt in
my mind that the exporting of gaelic football to a variety of countries would
do a lot to deliver them from out the shadow of Social Democracy with which, in
certain instances, association football can be identified, and render them more
susceptible to extreme left-wing tendencies that were manifestly social
theocratic in character and therefore commensurate, in the event of a majority
mandate for religious sovereignty, with what I have all along contended to be
‘Kingdom Come’ and its promise of psychic freedom in synthetically artificial
self-realization for the righteous of God and even, on the female side of the
gender divide, pseudo-just of the Antidevil.
24. How
horribly tragic is this orientation towards Social Democracy which, with its
more extreme left-wing manifestation, is always going to invite an autocratic
backlash in the form of some Nazi-like ideology of the Extreme Right! And how much does association football
contribute towards this state-oriented fatality of the social democratic
Extreme Left? Can you play a foot-low
game and live or think high? I, for one,
having lived so long in England, would be extremely sceptical and somewhat
pessimistic that anyone who was deeply into football could ever be
simultaneously committed to the path of theocratic liberation and freedom from
the last bastion of tyranny which was also the first – namely, that of Old
Testament Creatorism and everything associated, rather paradoxically, with the
hyping of Devil the Mother as God. Now,
as already stated in this and other texts, there is bound to be some reaction
to the struggle for Social Theocracy from persons more given to Catholic
tradition, whether out of vested interests or stupidity and cowardice or plain
backwardness I must leave for them to judge.
But such reaction, call it fascist if you like, can only be less
justified – indeed, much less justified - than the reaction which greets social
democratic radicalism which, despite the delusive rhetoric of its adherents, is
distinctly regressive from a state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axial
standpoint and therefore contrary to the female ‘ideal’ of free soma which
dominates that axis from a metachemical basis in noumenal sensuality. Being contrary to such an evil ideal, the
wilful licence of the diabolic, may seem justified to its social democratic
opponents, as to a lesser extent to its liberal democratic opponents, but it is
not enough to make for a righteous situation of itself, as the terrible consequences
of justice absolutism continue to attest.
Enhanced righteousness can only come with the extension of the
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis to new peaks of metaphysical and, for
females, antimetachemical psychic freedom, though not to the total exclusion of
pseudo-justice or justness the way pseudo-righteousness was often excluded from
the more blatantly totalitarian examples, including Stalinism, of
state-hegemonic justice. On the
contrary, there must continue to be a partnership between righteousness and
pseudo-justice if an overly church-hegemonic absolutism is not to ensue, with
reactionary consequences from the phenomenal below. Indeed, this partnership must be articulated
in such fashion that it is better understood and acted upon than was the case
in the Catholic past or with traditional Catholic approaches to salvation and
what I have called counter-damnation, when, more often than not, such a
distinction was not properly made and the issue was fudged in something
approaching a totalitarian manner that, paradoxically, would have equated
righteousness with pseudo-justice when not excluding righteousness
altogether! For only a partnership
between righteousness and pseudo-justice, church and state, will allay the
fears of the phenomenal below and permit those who were more sinful than
pseudo-vain or, conversely, more pseudo-vain than sinful to find their proper
niches in the noumenal above, thereby undermining the justification for
reaction and allowing society to progressively develop along more elevated
terms in adherence to the male ‘ideal’ of psychic freedom, which is only
possible under the guiding light of a metaphysical hegemony in noumenal
sensibility such that, with Social Theocracy, would be determined to keep
antimetachemistry in its subordinate noumenally anti-sensual place. For unless what passes, in antidiabolic
female vein, for antimetachemistry is kept in subordination, there will be
precious little righteousness and little evidence, if any, of a virtuous circle
of God and Antidevil, Heaven and Antihell, Time and Antispace, Eternity and
Anti-Infinity in what, with the Northeast point of the
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis, I have subsumed, in quasi-Bunyanesque
terms, under the descriptions of Celestial City and Anti-Vanity Fair.
25. Truth
pertains no less to the egoistic aspect, in form, of noumenal sensibility than
joy to its psychoistic aspect through contentment. There can be no Heaven without God, and no
God without Heaven. Outside and beneath
these psychic manifestations of metaphysics, which we call transcendentalist,
are the somatic manifestations of metaphysics, which we have called
idealist. Thus the truthful approach to
Beauty appertains no less to the bound will, in antipower, of noumenal
sensibility than the joyful approach to Love to bound spirit through antiglory,
neither of which would have any meaning, as Son of God and Holy Spirit of
Heaven, apart from God the Father and Heaven the Holy Soul. But neither would there be much evidence of
Antidevil the Antimother, in the antimaterialism of antimetachemical bound
will, or of Antihell the Unclear Spirit through the antimaterialism of
antimetachemical bound spirit, were it not for the influence of metaphysical
bound soma acting upon them via the Son of God and the Holy Spirit of Heaven,
and without Antidevil the Antimother and Antihell the Unclear Spirit there
could be no possibility of the antifundamentalism of the Antidaughter of the
Antidevil in antimetachemical free ego or of the antifundamentalism of the
Unclear Soul of Antihell in antimetachemical free soul, which are germane to
the beautiful approach to Truth and the loving approach to Joy which stem from
the Beauty and Love of Antidevil the Antimother and Antihell the Unclear
Spirit. Therefore no possibility of a
virtuous circle of metaphysical and antimetachemical factors in both psyche and soma, church and state, unless both the
transcendentalism and idealism of metaphysics are in situ to condition the antimetachemical
towards antimaterialism and antifundamentalism in secondary state-subordinate
and church-hegemonic terms, terms which then parallel the primary
manifestations of state-subordinate and church-hegemonic criteria as their
female complements.
26. Are
church bells alpha or omega or, when once the clapper is also taken into
account, are they omega-in-the-Alpha or alpha-in the Omega? In other words, does one have a circle in a
square or a square in a circle? Are
church bells indicative of the female entrapment and domination of the male, as
in the hollow case surrounding the clapper, which forms the greater part of
what we regard as bells, or are they rather more indicative of the male
entrapment and domination of the female, as would be the case were we to
interpret the hollow casing of the bell as a circle with a sort of square in it
in the form of the clapper? One could
ask other such questions, and answer them in contrary ways, not least with
regard to a sort of distinction, irrespective of the shape of bell towers
though also allowing for that, between bells appertaining to Anglican churches
and those appertaining, by contrast, to their Roman Catholic counterparts,
neither of which would find much echo in a majority of Puritan churches. However that may be, I would like to think that,
considered singly, the bell is less illustrative of the female entrapment and
domination of males than of a square (the clapper) within a circle (the hollow
case), bearing in mind that bells are used to signify time, and time, at least
when repetitive, is of eternity and hence more germane to noumenal sensibility
than to noumenal sensuality, noumenal anti-sensibility being somewhat more
sequential in character and thereby implying the simultaneous positioning and
utilization of a number of bells in any given tower, a factor which could well
be closer to signifying the female entrapment and domination of the male than a
singular repetitive manifestation of time would allow. And if that were the case, then one could not
categorically accord bells a specific status in relation to noumenal
sensibility but would have to allow for noumenal anti-sensibility as a
manifestation of the domination, from spatially above, of noumenal
sensuality. In which case, church bells
would be less a manifestation of transcendent independence of the alpha of
things in Creatorism than a metaphorical and indeed symbolic illustration of
the dominion, Old Testament-like, of antimetaphysics by metachemistry, of
antitranscendentalism by fundamentalism whether or not church-hegemonic criteria
were otherwise more prevalent in relation to a variety of Catholic
proclivities. For to see the bell as
signifying the dominion of metaphysics over antimetachemistry, of
transcendentalism over antifundamentalism (presuming here, as above, upon the
irrelevance of state-subordinate criteria) would be to exaggerate the
significance of the notion of square within a circle at the expense of those
more prominent material characteristics which suggest the subordination of
antimetaphysics to metachemistry, whether in relation to the surrounding and
encompassing of the clapper by the bell cone or, indeed, to the vacuous
metallic shape and substance of the hollow case as such. Yet this does not exclude the possibility of
repetitive time, even though, in typically Christian fashion, such singular
ringings can be replaced, according to occasion, by sequential ringings of
several bells played in quick succession, thereby confirming a status, arguably
more High Anglican than Roman Catholic, of omega-in-the-Alpha and, hence, of
the female entrapment of the male such that would accord not only with high
church weddings but, more fundamentally, with the whole ethos of Old
Testament-based Creatorism.
27. I
have never maintained that Anglicanism is Old Testament and Puritanism alone
New Testament, for that would be to deny to Anglicanism any Christian relevance
even by church-subordinate standards.
What I believe is that Anglicanism is more Old Testament than New
Testament and Puritanism more New Testament than Old Testament, though that is
not to deny to Puritanism its capacity to dissociate the New Testament from the
Old and act in relation to the New Testament alone, as my own receipt as a boy
of a grey softback Gideon New Testament would seem to confirm. But if Anglicanism were to do the same with
regards to the Old Testament, then it would be less than Christian and in some
sense closer to Judaism, with its Old Testament-like Torah. High Anglicans may prefer the Old Testament
to the New, but no church that calls itself Christian, no matter how pseudo its
Christianity may happen to be when judged from a church-hegemonic standpoint,
can afford to entirely dispense with the New Testament, the testament, par excellence, of Christianity. Ironically, it has been my way to regard the
Bible as more Protestant than Catholic, with the split between Old Testament
and New Testament mirrored, axially speaking, in the distinction between
Anglicanism and Puritanism, the church-subordinate complements to Monarchy and
Parliamentarianism in Britain. For while
not denying to Roman Catholicism its commitment to Scripture, I have preferred
to conceive of the church-hegemonic axis, with its dotted-line departure from
heathenistic fundamentalism, as owing much if not everything to faith in the
concept of a post-resurrectional or risen Christ whose transcendent remove from
both the world and ‘the Creator’ justifies both eschatological and
ecclesiastical intervention vis-à-vis the ‘faithful’, whose faith continues to
be confirmed by penitential contrition for sin and whose reward of verbal
absolution from the priestly intercessor is what restores them to grace in
relation to ‘God’, which is to say, the Risen Christ. Yet this Christ ‘on high’, having
eschatological attributes, is potentially capable of returning to the world,
with Judgement, to manifest the divine presence to the faithful as the Second
Coming. Therefore he is potentially
freer than church-subordinate criteria in relation to the state-hegemonic axis,
governed by a more pedantic approach to Scripture, would allow, and this is
what makes and keeps him almost uniquely Catholic and, in some sense,
Scripture-transcending. Yet, even then,
Catholicism is a product of Western civilization and only approaches what could
be called eschatological futurity, or Messianic intervention in relation to
‘Kingdom Come’, from a Christian standpoint, which is to say with a Western
shortfall from global universality and a Christic shortfall, in the Son, from
godly sublimity, which requires, at a truly universal and therefore global
level of its unfolding, that terms like the ‘Father’ and the ‘Son’ are
understood to metaphorically signify the precedence of soma by psyche as the
male reality, whether physical, in relation to Man, or metaphysical, in
relation to God, where the ratio of such precedence is rather more absolute,
i.e. 3:1 than relative, i.e. 2½:1½, and thereby symptomatic of
transcendentalism and idealism as opposed to humanism and naturalism. Therefore, quite apart from the irrelevance
of Western criteria to the establishment and furtherance of global civilization
(an irrelevance shared, incidentally, by the East), the emphasis upon a concept
like the Second Coming (of Christ, i.e., the Son) does little to address the
necessity of putting the horse, as it were, before the cart, and allowing for
the precedence of soma by psyche, of bound soma (hitherto so dramatically
exemplified in the Crucifixion) by free psyche, and thus of Son by Father, the
actual godly being or manifestation of godliness whose Word should, if
followed, pave the way for a Son-like implementation of it in accordance with
the binding of soma to psyche and, in political terms, of state to church. Thus an ultimate coming of the Father
precedes a Second Coming of the Son, for until the Word has been recognized and
acted upon there can be no ‘Kingdom Come’, and recognizing and acting upon it,
i.e. implementing it, may take quite some time – at least if the Father and the
Son do not transpire to being two sides of the same metaphysical coin which
leads from psyche to soma in the same universal ‘person’ the way that theory
sometimes leads to practice by the same individual acting under different
circumstances. For ultimately, if and
when we arrive at a society which is religiously sovereign rather than simply
politically sovereign, the religiously sovereign people will have rights in
relation to both theory and praxis, and the Father and the Son,
not to mention for females the Antimother and the Antidaughter, will be germane
to the same individual in each case, two sides – psyche and soma, free and
bound – of a universal destiny which it would be undesirable and unethical to
separate out or divide up, as though between different persons, the one vastly
different to the other and the subject, in consequence of his remoteness in
time from the ‘Father’, of idolatrous worship.
In the future, as of now, Father and Son will appertain to the same
person, Antimother and Antidaughter likewise, since they are two sides of the
same coin, as of the individual who, in one way or another, is both psyche and
soma, self and not-self, church and state.
For it is precisely to avoid repeating the error of a chronological
approach to the concepts of Father and Son, so characteristic of Christianity
as a paradoxical half-way stage between the Alpha and the Omega, the cosmic
Beginning and the universal End, that one should so regard the distinction
between these two aspects of male reality and ensure, in so doing, that the
female distinctions follow suit on their own reversed basis of soma preceding
psyche.
28. If I
am not antidemocratic it is because I am theocratic, and if I am
anti-bureaucratic it is because I am pro-antiautocratic and thus in favour of
an ultimate partnership between theocracy and anti-autocracy in what,
colloquially, has been described as ‘Kingdom Come’, a context divided by me
between Celestial City and Anti-Vanity Fair which would exist at the Northeast
point of our axial compass whether or not we ascribe a North-northeast status
to the Celestial City and an East-northeast status to Anti-Vanity Fair in an
attempt to delineate more sharply the one from the other. For they are as separate as God and the
Antidevil, metaphysical classlessness and antimetachemical anti-upperclassness,
and cannot or should not ever be confounded.
The ultimate totalitarianism, if and when it comes to pass, will be
relativistically divisible between the genders and neither a totalitarian
fudge, such as we encounter in relation to Catholic tradition (with its
tendency to subsume metaphysical into antimetachemical factors by dint of the
extent to which metachemistry still obtains across the axial divide), nor a
totalitarian absolutism of the type that would raise everything, irrespective
of gender, to metaphysics. It is not
simply that you can’t raise the Antidevil to God; rather is it a case that you
should not, for the sake of what is godly, even attempt any such thing. For if the ultimate point, from a cultural
standpoint, of the axial compass is to work, it requires a virtuous circle of
gender differential and complementariness.
Such a circle cannot be established on the basis of God alone, and even
within metaphysics you cannot have God the Father without the Son of God being
somatically in attendance, the same applying to their soulful and spiritual
corollaries, Heaven the Holy Soul and the Holy Spirit of Heaven. It is this, more than anything, which caused
me to reject and eventually repudiate Christian thinking in respect of a
Trinity which, with Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, fell short, on a Western
vis-à-vis global basis, of the required quadruplicity of metaphysical factors,
with divine ego passing through bound will and spirit leading to sublime soul
as the vindication of the self.
Christianity, like in another context the British philosopher Arthur
Koestler, is simply wrong to reduce things, whether in life or thought, to
Trinitarian or tripartite parameters as though there were only three elements
or three aspects to every element. That,
as I hope to have shown throughout my work, is simply not the case and smacks,
rather illogically, of some kind of extrapolation from the classical Greek
notion of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. In actuality, goodness does not qualify for
consideration along with the True and the Beautiful, being axially antithetical
to evil as an attribute of Strength which ranks with Knowledge as the
phenomenal counterparts, in antichemical and physical sensibility, to the
noumenal virtues, in metaphysics and antimetachemistry, of Truth and
Beauty. Therefore Truth as noumenally
antithetical to Illusion, or Falsity, and Beauty as noumenally antithetical to
Ugliness, with Strength phenomenally antithetical to Weakness and Knowledge
phenomenally antithetical to Ignorance, the latter of which, together with its
chemical counterpart Weakness, makes for the axial antithesis of Truth and its
antimetachemical counterpart Beauty, as grace from sin and pseudo-punishment
from pseudo-crime. But even metaphysics
and antimetachemistry have to be divided into a fourfold distinction between
Truth and the truthful approach to Beauty, which is God the Father and the Son
of God, and Beauty and the beautiful approach to Truth, which is Antidevil the
Antimother and the Antidaughter of the Antidevil, not to mention, where soul
and spirit are concerned, between Joy and the joyful approach to Love, which is
Heaven the Holy Soul and the Holy Spirit of Heaven, and Love and the loving
approach to Joy, which is Antihell the Unclear Spirit and the Unclear Soul of
Antihell. Even at the Northeast point of
our axial compass a simple dichotomy between Truth and Beauty is not enough to
do justice, so to speak, to the context in question. For if there is anything worse than
tripartite or triadic thinking, in this respect, it can only be dualistic
thinking and the settling for a simple dichotomy between two seemingly related
or contiguous virtues. Beauty, or the
Beautiful, as I think I have already stated, is merely antimetachemically bound
somatic and therefore not equivalent, on a church-hegemonic basis, to
Truth. And even Beauty, in the
antimetachemical sense we are addressing, would be less than recognizably or
dependably beautiful as an antimetachemically bound somatic factor if the
truthful approach to Beauty, stemming in metaphysical bound soma from Truth,
were not instrumental in conditioning and constraining it to a secondary
state-subordinate role in the interests of the beautiful approach to Truth (not
to mention loving approach to Joy) which has been identified with secondary
church-hegemonic criteria. Thus neither
Beauty nor the beautiful approach to Truth would significantly exist, within
antimetachemistry, without the prior and primary input of first of all Truth
and then its somatic offshoot the truthful approach to Beauty, each of which
stems from an unequivocally male hegemony in metaphysics. Let us not, for the sake of Truth and its
metaphysical and antimetachemical concomitants, give any encouragement to those
who would dismiss gender discrimination in these matters as either
anachronistic or misguided or in some sense immoral. Anachronistic a certain level and
manifestation of it may be from a post-worldly and strictly contemporary point
of view, which tends to be more American than anything else, but from the
standpoint of that which regards itself as lying beyond the contemporary,
American-led form of globalism in an approach to globalization which is
genuinely universal and thus led by transcendentalist and even idealist factors
germane to metaphysics, nothing could be more detrimental to the development
and consolidation of Truth in relation to godliness than an inability or
unwillingness, born of ignorance and sloth, to adequately discriminate between
the genders and allot to each their separate status or place within the overall
context of ‘Kingdom Come’, of a point on the axial compass that would truly be
commensurate, in its metaphysics and antimetachemistry, with the Celestial City
and Anti-Vanity Fair, as with otherworldly and anti-netherworldly alternatives
in the gender distinction between Eternity and Anti-Infinity, an Omega Point
and an Anti-Alpha Point of the Yang and Anti-Yin of the End and the
Anti-Beginning, as far removed from anything corresponding to the Beginning and
the Anti-End as it were possible to get.
29. In
the Beginning were the somatic death of Devil the Mother and her anti-ending
‘fall guy’ the Antison of Antigod, both of whom would have taken free somatic
precedence over the bound psyche of the Daughter of the Devil and Antigod the
Antifather. In the End will come the
psychic life of God the Father and his anti-beginning ‘fall doll’ the
Antidaughter of the Antidevil, both of whom will take free psychic precedence
over the bound soma of the Son of God and Antidevil the Antimother. In the Beginning were evil (somatic
metachemistry) and pseudo-folly (somatic antimetaphysics), crime (psychic
metachemistry) and pseudo-sin (psychic antimetaphysics). In the End will come grace (psychic
metaphysics) and pseudo-punishment (psychic antimetachemistry), wisdom (somatic
metaphysics) and pseudo-goodness (somatic antimetachemistry). These are the overall alpha/anti-omega and
omega/anti-alpha antipodes of noumenal existence, which have nothing in common
with each other except their ethereal opposition to the contrary orders of
corporeal existence in the phenomenal below, where, on state-hegemonic and
church-subordinate terms, good (antichemistry) and pseudo-wisdom (physics)
stand in somatic polarity – bound vis-à-vis free - to evil (metachemistry) and
pseudo-folly (antimetaphysics) as punishment (antichemistry) and pseudo-grace
(physics) stand in psychic polarity – free vis-à-vis bound - to crime
(metachemistry) and pseudo-sin (antimetaphysics), while, on church-hegemonic
and state-subordinate terms, sin (antiphysics) and pseudo-crime (chemistry)
stand in psychic polarity – bound vis-à-vis free – to grace (metaphysics) and
pseudo-punishment (antimetachemistry) as folly (antiphysics) and pseudo-evil
(chemistry) stand in somatic polarity – free vis-à-vis bound – to wisdom
(metaphysics) and pseudo-goodness (antimetachemistry). In the worldly Beginning was the somatic
death of Woman the Mother and her worldly anti-ending ‘fall guy’ the Antison of
Antiman, both of whom would only have taken somatic precedence over the bound
psyche of the Daughter of Woman and Antiman the Antifather when there was
insufficient axial interplay with the polar above, in the sense of a male link,
psychically, between God the Father and Antiman the Antifather coupled, in
soma, to the Son of God and Antiman the Antison and, stemming from this, a
female link, likewise in psyche, between the Antidaughter of the Antidevil and
the Daughter of Woman coupled, in soma, to Antidevil the Antimother and Woman the
Mother to tip the emphasis from soma to psyche in the interests of
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria.
In the worldly End, however, was the psychic life of Man the Father and
his worldly anti-beginning ‘fall doll’ the Antidaughter of Antiwoman, both of
whom would only have taken psychic precedence over the bound soma of the Son of
Man and Antiwoman the Antimother when there was insufficient axial interplay
with the polar above, in the sense of a female link, somatically, between Devil
the Mother and Antiwoman the Antimother coupled, in psyche, to the Daughter of
the Devil and the Antidaughter of Antiwoman and, stemming from this, a male
link, likewise in soma, between the Antison of Antigod and the Son of Man
coupled, in psyche, to Antigod the Antifather and Man the Father to tip the
emphasis from psyche to soma in the interests of
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria.
But, of course, axial continuity and consistency demands that sufficient
axial interplay does take place on either basis, and that is why,
paradoxically, the worldly beginning and anti-ending remained open to the
prospect of the anti-netherworldly anti-beginning and otherworldly ending,
whereas the worldly ending and anti-beginning remained subject to the dominion
of the netherworldly beginning and anti-otherworldly anti-ending. Some distinction! And some paradox!
30. Being
of Catholic Irish birth and ancestry I am not, and could never, be partial to
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria, such as exists in Britain, and therefore
I do not endorse either the netherworldly/anti-otherworldly positions or the
omega/anti-alpha worldly positions, whether in respect of autocracy and
antitheocracy above or of democracy and antibureaucracy below, the latter of
which is phenomenally subversive of the former in the interests of overall
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate continuity and consistency when once the
link with autocracy, in metachemical to antichemical fashion, is understood as
the ruling principle of the axis in question. For males could not, independently of female
pressure and overall dominion, be expected to endorse
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria when, in gender terms, they are the
converse of soma preceding and effectively predominating over psyche, being of
a disposition that, when true to itself and in an axial position to dominate
females, will prefer church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria in keeping
with their gender actuality of psyche preceding and effectively predominating
over soma. Therefore if the British male
is resigned to state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria it must be because
he is powerless to do anything about it because systemically conditioned to
take such criteria more or less for granted, in complete contrast to his
representative Irish counterpart who, when not Protestant, will tend, from
systemic conditioning that owes more to male than to female pressures, to take
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria more or less for granted. Now this is, from a male standpoint, much to
be preferred, since it is in sync with male gender actuality. Whether females will be quite as committed to
it is, of course, a moot point; but if they are more resigned than
categorically opposed to it, then that would be due to systemic conditioning of
the type which is manifestly lacking in Britain where, if the evidence is
anything to judge by, females are not conditioned to take such criteria for
granted, and are consequently likely to be more than resigned to the
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate status quo, even where the generality of
females are concerned, who, of course, would be rather more somatically bound
than free. But if that, and therefore
goodness as the bound somatic manifestation of justice, is a damned misfortune
from a female standpoint, excepting those who might prefer counter-salvation,
it is still a far cry from being psychically bound or free in relation to
criteria which, traditionally at any rate, make it
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate policy to relegate somatic freedom and
binding, in antiphysics and metaphysics coupled, for females, to chemistry and
antimetachemistry, to a subordinate status vis-à-vis their male-conditioned
psychic counterparts. However you
analyze it, Britain and Ireland could not be more antithetical, and that is why
over the centuries there has been such friction and mistrust between the two
islands, and why, at the time of writing, the island of Ireland is still
divided between the Irish Republic, with a Catholic majority, and Northern
Ireland with its falsely contrived Protestant majority in consequence of the
way it was partitioned by the British to placate the Protestant reaction to the
prospect of integration in an all-Ireland state characterized by a Catholic
majority. The curse of partition in
Ireland is ample reflection of the gender struggle and distinction between the
two peoples which continues to keep Ireland divided even with Protestants in
the so-called South and Catholics in the North, neither of which would be
representative of their respective ‘nations’ to anything like the extent of the
respective majorities, however contrived or uncontrived, as the case may
be. But life is a mixed-up and
gender-ridden thing, and the British Isles is doubtless only one of a number of
countries or regions where similar, if less marked, divisions are to be
found. What is the solution? Well, I have spelled it out in a great many
texts, and can say that if such divisions were almost inevitable during a
worldly stage of civilization, when the relativity of things is more
pronounced, then they can only be increasingly irrelevant to a post-worldly
stage of civilization, whether such a stage is neo-pagan or, more to the
post-worldly point, transcendentalist in character and therefore likely to pull
away from countries seemingly dominated by female criteria under pressure from
male leadership in respect of true religion and the evolution of society
towards global universality. In short,
the onus is on males to get their act together and, where applicable, overhaul
traditional church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria in such fashion that we
end up with something approximating ‘Kingdom Come’ as a context in which the
salvation and counter-damnation of those who would now qualify for the
description of lapsed Catholics takes new wing under Social Theocracy in the
event of a majority mandate for religious sovereignty in consequence of a
paradoxical election which, with traditional church-hegemonic/state-subordinate
criteria still extant but no longer of much avail against the new forms of
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria raining down on the formerly meek
and pseudo-vain ‘Catholic’ masses, only peoples like the Irish could be
expected to endorse and further, in order that the paradoxical situation which
now prevails under such external state-hegemonic/church-subordinate pressures,
indubitably at loggerheads with the Catholic tradition, could be countered in
consequence of the exploitation of that very paradox paradoxically, so that
they may be led, little by little, away from their quasi-heathen predicament
towards new pastures of religious liberation, and thus be saved and
counter-damned, in free psyche and bound soma, church and state, more
efficaciously than would otherwise be possible, thereby no longer being subject
to those very paradoxes which I would interpret as transitional to a new and
higher order of society and thus of civilization, one characterized, as noted,
by religious sovereignty and hence by rights appertaining to their spiritual
and, more importantly, intellectual and emotional wellbeing. Gone will be the cynicism of helplessness
before the neo-pagan onslaught of somatic licence raining down from the apex of
the state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis.
In its place will come a profound sense of liberation and potential for
religious fulfilment. But before that
can be brought to pass, the people must be allowed to vote for religious
sovereignty, and for that to happen there must be an active Social Theocratic
movement in Irish society, as eventually elsewhere, which has made it its
business to spread Social Theocratic enlightenment in relation to religious
sovereignty and the rights that would characterize it, not simply in relation
to being free from Creatorism and all primitive manifestations of religion
going all the way back to the Cosmos in their Biblical fundamentalism and, more
characteristically, materialism, but more importantly in terms of being free for
transcendentalism and, with females, anti-fundamentalism that would lead to
enhanced psychic self-realization through a variety of synthetic stimulants,
from those likely to favour the brain stem to their more properly
transcendentalist counterparts or successors in the journey towards ultimate
self-realization at the profoundly metaphysical level of the spinal cord, a
return to the source, which is the real and actual source of our life. But of course only males have the capacity,
as psyche preceding soma, of returning to such a source in relation to their
inherent subjectivity in consequence of being centred in a plenum. For females such a predilection would be
profoundly at variance with their natures of soma preceding psyche, the
Sartrian existence preceding essence, which rather makes for objectivity in
relation to a vacuum, and therefore no such return could be envisaged as being
desirable from their standpoint but, rather, completely contrary to their
outgoing dispositions. Therefore I do
not envisage the female completely following the male lead. For them, it will be enough that their
objectivity is transmuted towards anti-objectivity in keeping with the
antimetachemical complement of metaphysics, so that they remain at an
anti-upperclass remove from classlessness in Anti-Vanity Fair and do not invade
and subvert the Celestial City which it will be the male privilege to embrace
in the name of Truth and Joy. The
beautiful approach to Truth and the loving approach to Joy of the
antifundamentalist female can only be much less than this Truth and Joy, for
her fulcrum, so to speak, will continue to reside in Beauty and Love as the
antimaterialist state-subordinate complement to the truthful approach to Beauty
and joyful approach to Love of her male counterpart, whose idealism, being
commensurate with the Son of God and the Holy Spirit of Heaven, owes everything
to the precedence of metaphysical bound soma by metaphysical free psyche in the
transcendentalism of God the Father and Heaven the Holy Soul. Therefore no forcing of the female up into
the male role but a segregation of the genders throughout all Eternity and
Anti-Infinity in the interests of the virtuous circle of God and the Antidevil,
Yang and Anti-Yin, with peace only possible on an eternal basis because the
female has been constrained to anti-war and cannot make war on the male as a
matter of free somatic course. For her
freedom will be distinctly secondary, because it will be the secondary
church-hegemonic freedom of antimetachemical free psyche vis-à-vis its
metaphysical counterpart, and such psyche is only possible on the basis of
bound antimetachemical soma in consequence of the bound metaphysical soma which
metaphysical free psyche ordains and encourages from a standpoint gracefully
above the wisdom of the Son of God and the Holy Spirit of Heaven, a standpoint which
is both true and joyful in its unequivocal freedom to take and be to a
universal extent. For even the
‘personality’ of God the Father is effectively universal in its desire for
heavenly redemption and vindication in the sublime universality of Heaven the
Holy Soul, the resurrection of the self to the Life Eternal.
31. Therefore
those who believe in the Life Eternal and its female counterpart the Death
Anti-Infinite, the Anti-Vanity Fair complement of the Celestial City, are more
than Catholic or Buddhist or anything else which only embraces ‘Kingdom Come’
from a misguided or lopsided gender standpoint, being in effect Social
Transcendentalist and therefore beyond religion as traditionally constituted,
whether in the West or the East. They
are properly global and therefore universalist in their orientation, and would
not seek to impose traditional Western criteria on the East or, conversely,
traditional Eastern criteria on the West.
All criteria which are not Social Theocratic are beneath their pale as
something to be rejected and, if and when possible, cleared away as an obstacle
to global progress towards its universal destiny. But Social Theocracy, to give
to Social Transcendentalism its political or ideological face, is not martial
or in any degree committed to the advancement of religious sovereignty in the
masses through force. We Social
Theocrats could not wage so-called ‘holy war’ against opponents or
reactionaries of one sort or another, because even at our least elevated
position at the Northeast point of the axial compass we are believers in
anti-war as the female complement to male peace. Anti-war is our noumenal bottom line, and we
know that you cannot advance the cause of peace, which is a uniquely metaphysical
cause, without first of all being peaceful or peaceable and, via that, bringing
the female to anti-war as a consequence of antimetachemical constraint
emanating from a metaphysically hegemonic imposition. Social Theocracy can only advance the cause
of Social Transcendentalism on the basis of a majority mandate for religious
sovereignty in countries where, because of both religious traditions and
political freedoms, no matter how paradoxical the latter may be in relation to
the religious tradition, a paradoxical utilization of the democratic process to
a profoundly theocratic end seems both feasible and morally desirable, if the
peoples concerned are to be returned, on a radically progressive basis, to
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria of a viably contemporary, or
universal, cast. Therefore a majority
mandate from the people of these countries, which includes the Republic of
Ireland, for religious sovereignty is the precondition of the establishment of
Social Theocracy and, hence, of the Centre as the fulcrum of church/state
relativistic absolutism. No Social
Theocratic Centre can be established on any other basis than that of a majority
mandate for religious sovereignty and therefore democratic freedom in a people,
no matter how paradoxically at loggerheads with their religious traditions this
in many respects externally-conditioned if not engineered freedom may be, is an
absolute prerequisite of social theocratic freedom of psyche in relation to God
and, for females, the Antidevil on what amount to ultimate, and therefore properly
universal, terms, terms beyond anything mankind may have achieved in the past
in relation to these separate gender positions at the Northeast point of the
axial compass, and bearing no resemblance whatsoever to whatever may have
passed for God and Devil in relation to the more cosmic- and nature-oriented
Northwest point of the axial compass which continues to characterize much if
not all traditional religion of a pre-mankind nature, where the hype of Devil
the Mother as God precludes any commitment to God the Father even on the
necessarily restricted terms of mankind, and results in the under-plane upended
male position being denigrated as Devil when, in point of fact, it is
approximate to the Antison of Antigod in free soma and to Antigod the Antifather
in bound psyche (of an antimetaphysical bent characterizable as noumenally
anti-sensible) and therefore, in overall terms, to Antigod as opposed, in
metachemical free soma and bound psyche, to the Devil, i.e. to Devil the Mother
in free soma and the Daughter of the Devil in bound psyche (with a disposition
which, being objective, is germane to the actual first mover of things spatial
in noumenal sensuality). This lie of
Devil the Mother hyped as God still persists at the root of all traditional
religion, and only a majority mandate for religious sovereignty can bring the
people of those countries where a paradoxical utilization of the electoral
process is both possible and, from their ethnic standpoint, morally desirable
freedom from this oldest of civilized lies in order that the truth of God the
Father may be revealed and bring to those who deserve it that peace which is
the essence of Heaven. Therefore no war
to advance Social Theocracy but, only as a last resort, to defend the gains of
Social Theocracy from reaction, whether in relation to internal sabotage or
external intervention. The defence of
the rights of a religiously sovereign people would be a moral duty if those
rights are not to be undermined or even taken from them. But offensive action in relation to the
spread of Social Theocratic freedom to external countries would be a
contradiction in terms. A people must be
‘up to’, or capable of, religious sovereignty before there can be any prospect
of its realization following a majority mandate from an electorate who have
been well appraised of their predicament and are anxious to undo one paradox
with the use of another in order that they may be set free of
quasi-state-hegemonic impositions in the interests of a new church-hegemonic
dispensation which will free them from their ethnic corrupters and vindicate
the transition from state paradox to centre fulfilment in the more efficacious
salvations and counter-damnations that will ensue as their religiously
sovereign right, leading them from out the darkness of their own limitations
into the inner lights which are the divine and antidiabolic antitheses to
everything diabolic and antidivine which currently parades its outer lights
under the sanction of Vanity Fair and with the subordinate approval of the
Anti-Celestial City.
32. Therefore
much to be done to bring the Celestial City and Anti-Vanity Fair properly to
pass. But, fear not, it can be done and
will be done if my word is honoured. For
I am the gateway to ‘Kingdom Come’ and no one can enter this kingdom of the
inner lights, both graceful and pseudo-punishing, transcendentalist and
antifundamentalist, metaphysical and antimetachemical, except via me and,
through me, a majority mandate for religious sovereignty, the sovereignty of
sovereignties which will raise the democratically sovereign people beyond the
worldly republic to the otherworldly centre, the focal points, in transmuted
state and church, of Social Theocratic and Social Transcendentalist endeavour
and, ultimately, evolutionary resolution in the peace of God and
counter-devolutionary complementariness (for females) in the anti-war of the
Antidevil, thus completing the virtuous circle of Eternity and Anti-Infinity,
the Life Eternal and the Death Anti-Infinite.
Nothing is nor could be more radically progressive than this, and that
is why the acceptance of Social Theocracy as the ideological principle of
Social Transcendentalism is obligatory if the people of religiously-biased
countries like Eire are to utilize the democratic process in a way that will
deliver them from their own worldly limitations and thus from those who so
callously and ruthlessly exploit those limitations from a standpoint which is
contrary to that of God and the Antidevil, being, in noumenal sensuality and
noumenal anti-sensibility, of the Devil and Antigod. Only when they have been delivered, in such
fashion, from the evils and pseudo-follies which prey upon them from the apex
of state-hegemonic/church-subordinate society will they come into their
graceful and pseudo-punishing own in the noumenal sensibility and noumenal
anti-sensuality of a full return to church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria
of an unprecedentedly universal and anti-polyversal scope, which it will be
Social Theocracy’s god-given duty to protect and advance for all Eternity and
Anti-Infinity, until Truth is universally triumphant over the
anti-polyversality, the anti-beginning, of Beauty and both the truthful
approach to Beauty and the beautiful approach to Truth lie intermediate between
God the Father and Antidevil the Antimother as state-subordinate corollaries of
the ultimate church-hegemonic positions which it will be the rights of the
Saved of the Celestial City and the counter-Damned of Anti-Vanity Fair to have
blessed and pseudo-cursed access to, come way may. For as males will be blessed with grace and
wisdom in the free psyche and bound soma of metaphysics, so their female
counterparts will be pseudo-cursed with pseudo-goodness and pseudo-punishment
in the bound soma and free psyche of antimetachemistry. Blessed with culture and pseudo-cursed with
pseudo-civility, the genders will have their righteous and pseudo-just
destinies in ‘Kingdom Come’.
Appendix
1. I
had brought logic to gender in such fashion that there was absolutely no doubt
in my mind that the salvation of antiphysical males to metaphysics was
accompanied by the counter-damnation, the pseudo-damnation, of chemical females
to antimetachemistry, and, like salvation, which is blessed, pseudo-damnation,
which is pseudo-cursed, would be manifest in both church and state, in free
psyche and bound soma. There could be no
question that salvation was alone of the church and counter-damnation of the
state. Salvation was for males from
bound psyche in antiphysical antihumanism to free psyche in metaphysical
transcendentalism and from free soma in antiphysical antinaturalism to bound
soma in metaphysical idealism, both of which were blessed because confirming
the male actuality of psyche preceding and predominating or, better, preponderating
over soma and therefore allowing, in all righteousness, for gender sync with
this fundamental situation which only metaphysical sensibility can
unequivocally deliver and sustain. On
the other hand, counter-damnation for females was from free soma in chemical
realism to bound soma in antimetachemical antimaterialism and from bound psyche
in chemical nonconformism to free psyche in antimetachemical
antifundamentalism, both of which were pseudo-cursed because at loggerheads
with the female actuality of soma preceding and predominating over psyche and
therefore establishing, in all pseudo-justice, the opposite of gender sync
which, contrary to being somatically free and psychically bound, requires bound
soma in secondary state-subordinate accompaniment, within antimetachemistry, to
the free psyche of secondary church-hegemonic criteria, the criteria which, in
contrasting parallel to the male position, has less to do with truth and joy
than with a beautiful approach to truth and a loving approach to joy, both of
which effectively stem from the beauty and love of antimetachemical bound soma
which the truthful approach to beauty and the joyful approach to love of
metaphysical bound soma, corresponding to primary state-subordinate criteria,
did no little part to establish and maintain, and all at the behest of
metaphysical transcendentalism, wherein truth and joy attest to the primary
church-hegemonic actuality of God and Heaven as symptomatic of what is
fundamental to metaphysics as the initiator of both metaphysical bound soma
and, via that, the bringing to heel of metachemical sensibility, or
antimetachemistry, in such fashion that the female is forever at cross-purposes
with her gender actuality and accordingly counter-damned. For this church-hegemonic/state-subordinate
axis, stretching from the southwest to the northeast point of the axial
compass, pits the salvation of males who rise from bound psyche and free soma
to free psyche and bound soma against the counter-damnation of females who
counter-fall from free soma and bound psyche to bound soma and free psyche in
what, as noted above, transpire to be secondary state-subordinate and
church-hegemonic terms. Righteousness
cannot obtain for males, in absolute gender sync, without pseudo-justice
simultaneously having to obtain, in absolute gender upending, for females. That is the law, if you like, of the
northeast point of the axial compass, which has been identified with the
Celestial City and Anti-Vanity Fair, with classless and anti-upperclass criteria
as symptomatic of blessed metaphysical and pseudo-cursed antimetachemical
gender alternatives.
2. Truth
in that broader sense is not altogether pleasant, least of all for females, but
I swear by God that what I have written and what I wrote before on this
subject, the nature of salvation and counter-damnation, is true or veridical
and not a cop out or fudge of the issue in typically lopsided or reductionist
terms. However, veracity in relation to
the overall context of the northeast point of the axial compass and Truth per se are not synonymous, since the Truth
as something profoundly metaphysical and, more specifically, transcendentalist
within metaphysics, is solely germane to God and, hence, to the actuality of
godliness as a sort of universal knowledge that pertains to an order of ego
which, being godly, is not an end-in-itself, in humanist vein, but of a
character which elects to utilize the idealism of bound metaphysical soma to
achieve its redemption in the heavenly joy of the soul per se which, being
metaphysical, appertains more to the spinal cord than to the brain stem and is
therefore the deepest aspect of the self conceived of from a divinely male
standpoint. Truth has but one goal, and
that is Joy, and therefore God is nothing without Heaven, for Heaven is His raison
d’être, being the ultimate mode of Being such that no other mode of
contentment can approximate or even approach.
This is also veridical, for the truth about God is that God, or the
process of being godly, is removed from everything but the attainment of
Heaven, and in Heaven God is redeemed.
Therefore think not of God in any lesser or contrary terms, and remember
that metaphysics, in both free psyche and bound soma, is an exclusively male preserve,
which has no bearing, except tangentially and subordinately, on the fate of
females. For the corollary of God and
Heaven for metaphysical males is the Antidevil and Antihell for
antimetachemical females, and this is the Anti-Infinity that accompanies
Eternity on its course through Time, remaining at an Antispace remove from its
male counterpart as Anti-Vanity Fair from the Celestial City.
3. If
the West, through Catholicism, is traditionally more guilty of subsuming
metaphysics into antimetachemistry (through the retention of metachemistry over
antimetaphysics at the northwest point of the axial compass) and thus producing
a fudge favouring the female actuality of antimetachemistry (‘sacred heart’),
then the East is no less guilty, through Buddhism, of subsuming
antimetachemistry into metaphysics and thus producing a fudge favouring the
male actuality of metaphysics (‘sacred lungs’).
Neither, therefore, can suffice for global universality, which requires
that equal justice be done to metaphysics and antimetachemistry in
order that they may remain separate and gender compliant. In such a balanced approach to the northeast
point of the axial compass reductionism of either a Western or an Eastern
nature will be avoided and the point in question will consequently be able to
exist independently of other axial factors and be truly viable as a going
concern, no mere utopian partisanship favouring this or that gender but a
gender-acknowledging duality which has the merit of being self-sustaining
throughout Eternity and, for females, Anti-Infinity. Thus global civilization differs demonstrably
from both Western and Eastern civilizations in respect of its balanced approach
to gender differentiation. This, in some
sense, emerges out of gender equalitarianism, but precisely as a refutation of
any reductionism that would subsume one gender into the other. A more differentiated approach to gender
would be difficult if not impossible to conceive of, and that is why Social
Theocracy, the ideology of religious freedom for the people, must be committed to
granting to each gender its proper metaphysical or antimetachemical place, that
metaphysics may be served more completely than would otherwise be the case.
4. When
I mentioned blessedness and pseudo-cursedness above, in connection with
salvation and counter-damnation or, better, pseudo-damnation, I forgot to
mention culture and pseudo-civility, which are alike germane to the context in
question and symptomatic of the distinction between righteousness and
pseudo-justice. The Saved, being male,
are blessed with the righteousness of culture in metaphysical gender sync with
their fundamental nature of psyche preceding and preponderating over soma,
whereas the pseudo-Damned, by contrast, are pseudo-cursed with the
pseudo-justice of pseudo-civility in antimetachemical gender cross-purposes, or
upendedness, with their fundamental nature which, being female, is of soma
preceding and predominanting over psyche and therefore of the one being free
and the other bound. Under male
unequivocal hegemonic pressures, on the other hand, bound soma and free psyche
obtain for the female as secondary state-subordinate and church-hegemonic
positions corresponding to beauty/love and the beautiful approach to
truth/loving approach to joy, neither of which have any bearing on truth/joy
and the truthful approach to beauty/joyful approach to love with stem from the
liberated male positions of free psyche and bound soma in blessed sync with
male gender actuality. Therefore the
salvation of the one gender presupposes or entails the pseudo-damnation of the
other gender, and this is inescapable and unavoidable. If males are to rise from sin to grace and
from folly to wisdom, females must counter-fall (up the axis) from pseudo-crime
to pseudo-punishment and from pseudo-evil to pseudo-good, ceasing to be
somatically free and psychically bound as the males cease to be such in the
interests of free psyche and bound soma.
5. How
all this contrasts with the other axis, wherein not blessedness and
pseudo-cursedness, salvation and pseudo-damnation, obtain in sensibility but,
by comparative contrast, cursedness and pseudo-blessedness, damnation and
pseudo-salvation, with the attendant corollaries of justice and
pseudo-righteousness and, of course, civility and pseudo-culture! This state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis,
by contrast, is not about a rise from sin to grace and folly to wisdom on the
part of males, still less of a counter-fall from pseudo-crime to
pseudo-punishment and pseudo-evil to pseudo-good on the part of females but,
rather, is symptomatic of a fall from evil to good and crime to punishment on
the part of females and of a counter-rise (down the axis) from pseudo-folly to
pseudo-wisdom and pseudo-sin to pseudo-grace on the part of males, soma taking
precedence over psyche and therefore constitutive of the state-hegemonic
aspects of the axis in question.
Therefore the Damned, being female, are cursed with justice in the
civility of antichemical bound soma and free psyche, since at relative
cross-purposes, in antichemistry, with their gender actuality of soma preceding
and predominating over psyche, whereas the counter-Saved, or pseudo-Saved, are
pseudo-blessed with pseudo-righteousness in the pseudo-culture of their gender
actuality, as males, of psyche preceding and preponderating over soma in
physical bound soma and free psyche, the snag being that the emphasis does not
fall, as would otherwise be the case, on free psyche but, due to antichemical
subversive pressures stemming from a link with the unequivocal female hegemony
of metachemistry over antimetaphyiscs back up the said axis, on bound soma as
the – for males – secondary state-hegemonic position vis-à-vis antichemical
bound soma and, by extrapolation, such free psyche as obtains, being co-opted
to the service of soma, only achieves a secondary church-subordinate standing
vis-à-vis antichemical free psyche, the free psyche that would be rather more
antinonconformist than humanist in character and consequently antithetical not
to antitranscendentalism, in male vein, but to fundamentalism, its metachemical
counterpart. So while females may be
damned to the cursedness of justice in the civility of antichemical bound soma
and free psyche, their male counterparts will be pseudo-saved to the
pseudo-blessedness of pseudo-righteousness in the pseudo-culture of physical
bound soma and free psyche, this latter in parallel contrast to the free psyche
and bound soma of metaphysics, wherein the male is unequivocally hegemonic and
therefore not subverted from the female position due to its antithetical link
with the somatically free and psychically bound aspects of
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria in metachemistry. There is therefore a completely different
emphasis between these two manifestations of male sensibility, the metaphysical
and the physical, and only in the former is Salvation for real and not merely a
secondary state-hegemonic/church-subordinate corollary of Damnation.
6. But
if the Many are damned and pseudo-saved at the southeast point of the axial
compass, divided as they are between justice and pseudo-righteousness, civility
and pseudo-culture, they exist, as in Britain, in polar relationship to an
undamned and pseudo-unsaved Few who, as in America, rule the
metachemical/antimetaphysical roost from a vantage point that constitutes the
apex of state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria, being germane to the
female ideal of somatic freedom and psychic binding which requires a
metachemical mandate which is unequivocally hegemonic over metaphysical
sensuality or, as I usually say, antimetaphysics. The damned and pseudo-saved
parliamentary/puritan majority exist in antithetical relation to their
metachemical/antimetaphysical counterparts who are more likely to be monarchic
and Anglican than anything else, though Judaic and Hindu elements cannot be
excluded, least of all in America where, as I have argued in the past, the
northwest point of the axial compass is more elevated and somehow genuine than
in Britain and far from having a pseudo-metachemical/pseudo-antimetaphysical
vis-à-vis antichemical/physical polarity one finds, in reverse extrapolation
from the British tradition, a pseudo-antichemical/pseudo-physical vis-à-vis
metachemical/antimetaphysical polarity which is constitutive of New World
criteria in the sense of an overhaul of Old World, and in particular British,
axial criteria in a manner favouring ‘the above’ rather than ‘the below’, the
undamned/pseudo-unsaved rather than the damned/pseudo-saved. Consequently in relation to this more
contemporary manifestation of state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axial
criteria, we find a contrary situation from that traditionally obtaining in,
for instance, Great Britain, and here it can most certainly be maintained that
the Few are not merely constitutionally but instrumentally and culturally
hegemonic over the Many as so many film stars, rock stars, porn stars, drag
stars, sports stars, etc. And it is this
contemporary manifestation of the state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis which
rules over the world as we know it today, transforming traditionally
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate societies into
quasi-state-hegemonic/church-subordinate images of itself and thus effectively
creating the terms by which even church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria
may be overhauled in such fashion that things will tend not from
pseudo-metaphysics/pseudo-antimetachemistry to antiphysics/chemistry, in
traditional Catholic vein, but, on the contrary, from
pseudo-antiphysics/pseudo-chemistry to genuine metaphysics/antimetachemistry as
the quasi-state-hegemonic/church-subordinate paradox is exploited from an
equally, though morally sound, paradoxical standpoint which is determined to
restore church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria to the peoples in question
– not least in Eire – by appealing to the electorate to vote for religious
sovereignty and thus have the benefit, in the event of a majority mandate, of
that more genuine metaphysics and antimetachemistry which, under Social
Theocracy, would be commensurate with ‘Kingdom Come’ as a context, centred on
the northeast point of the axial compass, in which salvation and
pseudo-damnation will once again become possible to the unsaved and
pseudo-undamned lapsed Catholic masses, only this time more efficaciously and
genuinely so than had been the case in the past, before the Americanization of
Eire and other such predominantly Catholic countries resulted in the partial
overhaul of traditional axial criteria in the
pseudo-antiphysical/pseudo-chemical manner described, something almost akin, in
Biblical terms, to a ‘new earth’ which cannot but portend a ‘new heaven’ once
the axis is completely overhauled and thus comes into line, antithetically,
with the contemporary manifestation of the state-hegemonic/church-subordinate
axis, a situation which will no longer leave the peoples in question at a
quasi-state-hegemonic/church-subordinate disadvantage vis-à-vis their
traditional counterparts, but make possible their own more efficacious
elevation to salvation and pseudo-damnation (counter-damnation) of an order
properly commensurate with global, and therefore universal, criteria. For not until this happens and the peoples
concerned are saved and pseudo-damned more efficaciously will the undamned and
pseudo-unsaved Few (comparatively speaking) of the other axis be placed in a
position whereby their vain and pseudo-meek exploitations of the quasi-vain and
quasi-pseudo-meek Many at the southwest point of the axial compass will come
under threat for want of anybody there to pray upon. Only then will there be any possibility of
damnation and pseudo-salvation for the undamned and pseudo-unsaved, for they
will not be damned or pseudo-saved as long as there are those at the southwest
point of the axial compass who have not been saved and pseudo-damned to its northeast
point, and therefore they will not be in a position to be ‘made over’ in the
image of those who are already damned and pseudo-saved at the southeast point
of the axial compass as a precondition of these latter being swivelled across
to the foot of the other axis and, in being ‘made over’ in their turn, saved
and pseudo-damned in the wake of the lapsed Catholic generality, thereby making
possible even the salvation and pseudo-damnation of the damned and pseudo-saved
if they, too, elect to follow their historical counterparts across to the
southwest point of the axis in question and accept the necessary criteria for
salvation and pseudo-damnation to its northeast point, thereby being ‘made
over’ from man and antiwoman or, more correctly, pseudo-man and
pseudo-antiwoman to pseudo-antiman and pseudo-woman as the necessary
preconditions of God and the Antidevil.
Only thus will everything pass from the Alpha and Anti-Omega of the
Devil and Antigod to the Omega and Anti-Alpha of God and the Antidevil, as though
from the rule of Vanity Fair and the (anti-lead of) Anti-Celestial City to the
lead of the Celestial City and (anti-rule of) Anti-Vanity Fair.
7. Thus
as each axis is divisible between the Few and the Many, so the triumph of
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria over its axial antithesis will
require that everything passes from the Many to the Few on the axis in
question, just as they have passed, with the American overhaul of
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axial criteria, from the Many to the Few in
reverse vein, and both the Many of that axis and the Many of the traditionally
more church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis now live under the sway of the
vain/pseudo-meek Few to such an extent that there is scarcely any place for,
let alone evidence of, the righteous/pseudo-just Few of a comparably genuine,
or radical, order. All this must change
in the future, as the new church-hegemonic/state-subordinate Few set about the
task of achieving and consolidating their position vis-à-vis the lapsed
Catholic Many and set in motion those orders of salvation and pseudo-damnation
which will deliver the said Many from the predatory clutches of the
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate Few and thus bring about the latter’s axial
downfall. For nothing short of that will
change life as we know it, and it is imperative that life is changed for
the better for the lapsed Catholic Many in order that they may be delivered
from their shortcomings and the consequences of those shortcomings, and that
even their Protestant counterparts may be brought to the threshold of salvation
and pseudo-damnation in due course and all share in the benefits of blessedness
and pseudo-cursedness, culture and pseudo-civility, righteousness and
pseudo-justice for all Eternity and Anti-Infinity in an
otherworldly/anti-netherworldly society that knows no death, being at its
antimetachemical worst anti-death and at its metaphysical best so pro-life as
to be eternal.
8. Are
sportsmen or athletes or body builders or sex workers or other ‘physical’ types
as equally sane as intellectuals and philosophers and great writers and
artists? Or, put differently, do those
in the former categories share the same type of sanity with those in the
latter? Society may, as it is and has
been constituted in the past, encourage us to think so, but I cannot bring
myself to believe it. For isn’t there
something kind of ‘insane’ about intellectuality and profound literary work
compared with or, rather, contrasted to the sorts of bodily and physical
activities which sportsmen and athletes and so on indulge in and regularly
demonstrate? Would there not be ‘regular
folk’ of an active if not competitive nature who, in their heart of hearts (or
what passes for such), incline to the view that writers and philosophers and
other such intellectually creative individuals are comparatively insane, if not
mad? And yet is it not also the case
that many of us take intellectuality, whether literary or otherwise, for
granted and are happy to read a book or e-scroll or other literary production
without fuss or undue sarcasm, never for a moment assuming that the act of
writing constitutes evidence of madness or of something that should be avoided
in the interests of sanity. So if there
is a gulf between those who are outgoing, extrovert, sport-loving and their
rather more ingoing, introvert, culture-loving counterparts, is it not
indicative, this gulf, of two kinds of sanity, one fundamentally somatic and
bodily, the other essentially psychic and therefore of the mind? Is it not the case that there is really a
distinction here between what could be called outer sanity and inner sanity,
the sanity of physical exercise and the sanity of metaphysical exercise, the
sanity that signifies freedom in relation to soma and the sanity that signifies
freedom in relation to psyche, the one arguably more female than male and the
other more male than female. For, after
all, somatic freedom, hailing from either a metachemical or a chemical premise
and hegemony (over antimetaphyiscs or antiphysics, as the case may be) is the
ideal of a creature for whom soma precedes and predominates over psyche,
whereas psychic freedom, which hails from either a physical (in the elemental
sense) or a metaphysical premise and hegemony (over antichemistry or antimetachemistry,
as the case may be) is the ideal of a creature, by contrast, for whom psyche
precedes and preponderates over soma – in other words, a male as opposed to a
female creature. This, then, is the crux
of the matter. There are two kinds of
freedom on both phenomenal (corporeal) and noumenal (ethereal) levels or
planes, and they are opposites in terms of being somatic and female, or psychic
and male. A society rooted in somatic
freedom may accept a limited degree of psychic freedom, but it will never give
any great encouragement to psychic freedom for fear of undermining its somatic
basis and transforming the word ‘insanity’ from something designating some form
of madness to something akin to ‘insight’ vis-à-vis sight. To it, ‘sanity’ is fundamentally more somatic
than psychic, and therefore most if not all forms of psychic freedom are
vulnerable to being cynically dismissed as ‘insane’, i.e. mad, rather than
regarded as germane to a contrary order of sanity which is simply inner (and of
the mind) rather than outer (and of the body).
To-date, this has been the general premise and belief of Western
society, especially in countries which have been more partial, in heathenistic
vein, to state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria than to their converse. Sanity is closer to the sports field and the
supermarket than to the desk or cloister – certainly for the generality of
people. And yet how indicative of a
somatic concept of freedom and therefore of sanity such a perception is! It does not distinguish, more or less
impartially, between outer sanity and inner sanity in terms of ‘outsane’ and
‘insane’ but, siding with the former, inclines to dismiss the latter as
equivalent to mad. I absolutely reject
and despise this attitude! Sanity is not
one thing rather than another; it is divisible between outer and inner, somatic
and psychic, manifestations, and all people, bar the very extreme, are both
‘outsane’ and ‘insane’ to varying degrees, even if most would see themselves –
certainly in traditional Western terms – as more ‘outsane’ than ‘insane’ and
therefore of an outgoing disposition commensurate with social utility or
sociability or societal expedience, a view which has done no small part to
perpetuate the notion that outer sanity is alone sane compared to its inner
counterpart. Well, let us categorically
dismiss such a notion here, which is something of a Western if not populist
myth, and assert that while outer sanity, or ‘outsanity’, is indeed sane or a
form of sanity, inner sanity is also a form of sanity, if of an opposite gender
persuasion to its somatic counterpart, and therefore worthy of being taken
seriously as an ideal in itself, one which, if upheld, would divest the word
‘insanity’ of any pejorative or denigratory implications, making it short for
‘inner sanity’ and not synonymous with madness of a cerebral order. Doubtless such an order of madness does
exist, but not necessarily as an expression of inner sanity! On the contrary, it would be indicative of
the want of inner sanity, not in the sense of outer sanity, but through some
malfunctioning of psyche or persistent delusion. And yet there can also be – and very often is
– much evidence in society of the malfunctioning of soma, of bodily parts, whether
through accident or disease, and a break-down, in consequence, in the norms of
outer sanity which, though scarcely qualifying for aspersions of madness,
indicate a want of somatic freedom and, hence, physical health. But madness has always been identified with
psyche rather than soma, so the physically ill or sick have rarely been
considered mad, not altogether surprisingly in view of the extent to which such
a term has been reserved, in somatically-oriented societies, for the mentally
sick. And yet if one can be sane
physically, one can be mad physically.
And if one can be mad mentally, one can be sane mentally. Being mental is not necessarily synonymous
with being mad. Nor is being physical
necessarily synonymous with being sane.
One can be sane or mad either way, in an outer or an inner fashion, and
ultimately what all these assumptions or presumptions tell us is about the
nature of a particular type of society and its prevailing values, for better or
worse. People will always be quick to
denigrate psyche from a somatic standpoint and, doubtless, those societies more
given, whether in the East or elsewhere, to psychic freedom will take a less
than partisan view of soma. In
misunderstanding each other they will recoil from each other and simply
entrench themselves in their respective partialities. Rarely does society strike, never mind aim
at, a balance between the opposites, somatic freedom and psychic freedom,
though attempts to do so are usually weighted against one ideal from the
hegemonic standpoint of the other which, contrary to its opposite, will be
unequivocally rather than simply equivocally hegemonic and therefore more
influential and important in the overall axial scheme of things, as already
described in my work. Thus at the end of
the day a bias remains, and that bias conditions the way people in that society
generally think of sanity and its opposite, madness. At present ‘insanity’, used in the sense of
inner sanity, has not been divested of pejorative connotations likening it to
madness, and therefore sanity is implicitly if not explicitly identified with
the outer and, more often than not, with a healthy somatic disposition that
fights shy of intellectuality and high culture in general. The future, I am sure, will change all that,
but not before the coming of religious sovereignty and the establishment of
truly free psychic societies under the leadership of the highest males.
9. Frankly,
urban civilization is more likely to breed or foster ‘insanity’ than
‘outsanity’ because if one is accustomed to city life for any period of time
one becomes more disposed to living indoors than outdoors, there being so much
more indoor life than outdoor in view of the close proximity of so many
buildings of one persuasion or another, and living or being indoors is not
incompatible with the development of sensibility, being its environmental
parallel and, in effective terms, precondition.
Therefore the more urban the context and the more, over several
generations, sedentary or indoor one’s lifestyle the more, by a corresponding
factor, sensible should one become, irrespective of fluctuations in the
weather. Only those who spend much of
their time outdoors, whether through ancestral tradition or in consequence of a
natural response to warm dry weather, will cling to sensuality in parallel with
their outgoing predilections. Yet the
pressure towards a more indoor lifestyle will always be there in the city and,
often enough, people outdoors are on the move from one indoor location to
another rather than simply hanging around out-of-doors or loitering in public
spaces. So city life is suited to the
development of sensibility and, hence, of a correspondingly inner mode of
sanity, whether or not one wishes to call it ‘insanity’, as though on a par with
‘insight’. Many if not most of those who
live in cities, especially in the more built-up residential sectors, are
arguably more ‘insane’ than ‘outsane’, and that, in comparative terms, is a
good thing, because it indicates that sensibility is taking precedence over
sensuality with them and such a situation is always more indicative of some
kind of male hegemony, whether equivocal, as in physics over antichemistry, or
unequivocal, as in metaphysics over antimetachemistry. In fact, now that I have returned to my usual
take on such elemental terms, it strikes me as incontrovertible that the
subordinate gender in any given sensible context will be less ‘insane’ in the
aforementioned sense than anti-‘outsane’, which is to say, contrary to outer
sanity in antichemical or antimetachemical vein without being properly, in male
vein, ‘insane’, or partial to inner sanity through the development of psychic
freedom. If such upended persons are not
as ‘insane’ themselves, they are at least sufficiently anti-‘outsane’ as to be
distinct from those who, in metachemistry or chemistry, would be ‘outsane’ and
therefore either unequivocally or equivocally, depending on the elemental
context, objective in their somatic freedom as the product, in no small part,
of a vacuum appertaining, in female vein, to either the noumenal or phenomenal
modes of objectivity. But if such
people, whether rural or otherwise, would be ‘outsane’ in their somatically
outgoing dispositions, then the upended gender in relation to them would, in
being antimetaphysical or antiphysical, be less ‘outsane’ themselves than
anti-‘insane’ and therefore of an anti-subjective disposition commensurate with
the paradoxical elemental contexts in question.
Therefore society is not simply a matter of sanity vis-à-vis insanity
but, depending on the circumstances, will manifest either outer sanity at inner
sanity’s upended expense or, in sensibility, inner sanity at outer sanity’s
upended expense, the resultant pairing amounting to axial distinctions between
noumenal ‘outsanity’/anti-‘insanity’ at the northwest point of the axial
compass vis-à-vis phenomenal ‘insanity’/anti-‘outsanity’ at its southeast
point, with a correspondingly contrary antithesis, on the
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis, between phenomenal
‘outsanity’/anti-‘insanity’ at the southwest point of the axial compass and
noumenal ‘insanity’/anti-‘outsanity’ at its northeast point, the unequivocal
gender position linking to the phenomenally subordinate gender position with
the traditional manifestations of each axis in the interests of either
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate consistency and continuity or, conversely,
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate consistency and continuity, as in the
primary link between metachemical ‘outsanity’ and antichemical anti-‘outsanity’
in respect of state-hegemonic criteria and between metaphysical ‘insanity’ and
antiphysical anti-‘insanity’ in respect of church-hegemonic criteria, neither
axis being capable of reconciliation with the other in view of the different
gender agendas which each one primarily represents. For if metachemistry and antichemistry
constitute primary state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria with regard to
the contrast between somatic freedom/psychic binding (metachemistry) and
somatic binding/psychic freedom (antichemistry), ‘outsanity’ and
anti-‘outsanity’, then antimetaphysics and physics, their noumenal and
phenomenal male counterparts, can only signify secondary
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria with regard to the parallel
contrast between somatic freedom/psychic binding (antimetaphysics) and somatic
binding/psychic freedom (physics), anti-‘insanity’ and ‘insanity’, which are
obliged to take second place to their female counterparts in the overall
relationship between state and church.
Conversely, if metaphysics and antiphysics constitute primary
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria with regard to the contrast between
psychic freedom/somatic binding (metaphysics) and psychic binding/somatic
freedom (antiphysics), ‘insanity’ and anti-‘insanity’, then antimetachemistry
and chemistry, their noumenal and phenomenal female counterparts, can only
signify secondary church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria with regard to
the parallel contrast between psychic freedom/somatic binding
(antimetachemistry) and psychic binding/somatic freedom (chemistry),
anti-‘outsanity’ and ‘outsanity’, which are obliged to take second place to
their male counterparts in the overall relationship between church and
state. Such, at any rate, is how the
distinctions would shape up on traditional, or worldly, axial terms, but, of
course, nowadays we live, thanks in no small part to America, more under the
shadow of post-worldly axial criteria in which ‘the below’ leads to ‘the above’
rather than vice versa, and consequently ‘the above’ is ultimately more
influential and characteristic of the overhauled axial situation than ‘the
below’ or, at any rate, has the potential to become such if it hasn’t already
done so. But that is another story and
one I have already addressed in my writings in several previous texts, so I
shall refrain from elaborating on it here.
If, traditionally, it could be said that, in
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axial terms, the Many took precedence over
the Few and therefore ‘insanity’ and anti-‘outsanity’ or, rather,
anti-‘outsanity’ and ‘insanity’ over ‘outsanity’ and anti-‘insanity’, and, in
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axial terms, the phenomenal likewise took
precedence over the noumenal and therefore ‘outsanity’ and anti-‘insanity’ or,
rather, anti-‘insanity’ and ‘outsanity’ over ‘insanity’ and anti-‘outsanity’,
these days we find that it is the Few, not least in metachemistry and
antimetaphysics, who take precedence over the Many, and therefore ‘outsanity’
and ‘anti-‘insanity’ over anti-‘outsanity’ and ‘insanity’ where
state-hegemonic/church-subordinate criteria are concerned, whether or not, in
contrast to this, we see the development of a situation, in societies
traditionally more typified by church-hegemonic/state-subordinate criteria,
towards the prevalence of ‘insanity’ and anti-‘outsanity’ over anti-‘insanity’
and ‘outsanity’, and in such fashion that the salvation of the antiphysical to
metaphysics in primary church-hegemonic/state-subordinate terms is accompanied
by the counter-damnation, or pseudo-damnation, of the chemical to
antimetachemistry, as, in the one case, ‘insanity’ eclipses anti-‘insanity’
and, in the other case, anti-‘outsanity’ eclipses ‘outsanity’, always
remembering that such an elevation would be from the phenomenal manifestation of
each gender predilection to its noumenal counterpart, and therefore from
pseudo-antiman to God and from pseudo-woman to the Antidevil in respect of the
elevation from corporeal anti-‘insanity’ to ethereal ‘insanity’ and, for
females, from corporeal ‘outsanity’ to ethereal anti-‘outsanity’, the
anti-‘insanity’ of the one having been vis-à-vis the corporeal ‘insanity’ of
the physical across the phenomenal axial divide, the anti-‘outsanity’ of the
other being vis-à-vis the ethereal ‘outsanity’ of the metachemical across the
noumenal axial divide. Therefore
corporeal anti-‘insanity’ is a precondition, for the antiphysical, of ethereal
‘insanity’ in the metaphysical, just as, from a contrary gender standpoint,
corporeal ‘outsanity’ is a precondition, for the chemical, of ethereal
anti-‘outsanity’ in the antimetachemical, anti-‘outsanity’ being the
Anti-Vanity Fair corollary of the ‘insanity’, the inner sanity in metaphysical
free psyche, of the Celestial City, as of Eternity and its hegemony, for ever
more, over Anti-Infinity, its antimetachemical counterpart.
10. Therefore
far from a simple sane vis-à-vis insane distinction we find, in practice, that
the axial compass allows for four types of sanity, whether outer or inner, and their
corresponding anti-sanity counterparts, again whether outer or inner. No ‘outsanity’ without anti-‘insanity’ at the
northwest point of the axial compass, and no ‘insanity’ without
anti-‘outsanity’ at its southeast point where state-hegemonic/church-subordinate
criteria are concerned, and, conversely no ‘outsanity’ without anti-‘insanity’
at the southwest point of the axial compass and no ‘insanity’ without
anti-‘outsanity’ at its northeast point.
Some societies, being state-hegemonic, are unequivocally sane one way
and equivocally sane the other, outer and inner, whereas other societies, being
church-hegemonic, are equivocally sane one way and unequivocally sane the
other, outer and inner. But all
societies, whether equivocally or unequivocally sane in outer or inner terms,
also embrace their upended gender counterparts at these intercardinal points of
the axial compass, whose positions in relation to the ‘sane’ is if not insane
then most decidedly anti-sane. For to be
anti-‘insane’ under ‘outsane’ hegemonic pressures, whether unequivocal or
equivocal, is to be contrary to the ‘insanity’ which characterizes the sensible
hegemonies, whether equivocal or unequivocal, of the male positions in physics
and metaphysics whose corresponding upended gender counterparts will be
anti-‘outsane’ on like equivocal or unequivocal terms. Ugliness and hatred, corresponding to
metachemical soma, will be manifestations of noumenal ‘outsanity’, of ethereal
outer sanity, as will their bound-psychic corollaries, the ugly approach to
falsity (illusion) and the hateful approach to woe, whereas falsity and woe,
corresponding to antimetaphysical psyche, will be manifestations of noumenal
anti-‘insanity’, of ethereal anti-inner sanity, as will their free somatic
corollaries, the false approach to ugliness and the woeful approach to
hatred. So much for the northwest point
of the axial compass! Still on the
sensual side of the social and/or environmental divide, weakness and humility,
if not humiliation, corresponding to chemical soma, will be manifestations of
phenomenal ‘outsanity’, of corporeal outer sanity, as will their bound-psychic
corollaries, the weak approach to ignorance and the humble approach to pain,
whereas ignorance and pain, corresponding to antiphysical psyche, will be manifestations of phenomenal
anti-‘insanity’, corporeal anti-inner sanity, as will their free-somatic corollaries, the ignorant approach to
weakness and the painful approach to humility.
So much for the southwest point of the axial compass! Turning to sensibility across the axial
divide, knowledge and pleasure, corresponding to physical psyche, will be
manifestations of phenomenal ‘insanity’, of corporeal inner sanity, as will
their bound-somatic corollaries, the knowledgeable approach to strength and the
pleasurable approach to pride, whereas strength and pride, corresponding to
antichemical soma, will be manifestations of phenomenal anti-‘outsanity’,
corporeal anti-outer sanity, as will their free-psychic corollaries, the strong
approach to knowledge and the proud approach to pleasure. So much for the southeast point of the axial
compass! Finally, truth and joy,
corresponding to metaphysical psyche, will be manifestations of noumenal
‘insanity’, ethereal inner sanity, as will their bound-somatic corollaries, the
truthful approach to beauty and the joyful approach to love, whereas beauty and
love, corresponding to antimetachemical soma, will be manifestations of
noumenal anti-‘outsanity’, ethereal anti-outer sanity, as will their
free-psychic corollaries, the beautiful approach to truth and the loving
approach to joy. So much for the
northeast point of the axial compass!
Now although I have started with the hegemonic elemental position,
whether unequivocal or equivocal, in all of the above axial examples, I have
been careful not to exclude axial interaction between the noumenal and
phenomenal positions, since it is precisely that which ensures that the
southwest point of the axial compass is no more characterized by free soma as
primary, in overly heathenistic vein, than its southeast point by free psyche
as primary, in overly christianistic, meaning puritanical, vein. In each case, the equivocal hegemony is
subverted by the subordinate position acting in conjunction with the
unequivocally hegemonic element, be it female (in metachemistry) or male (in
metaphysics), and the result, as stated before, is the paradoxical overturning
of the equivocal hegemony from standpoints determined by either noumenal
‘outsanity’ or, across the axial divide, noumenal ‘insanity’. The equivocally hegemonic genders will still
remain ‘true’ to their fundamental natures, but they will suffer the indignity,
from their standpoints, of having the emphasis switched from soma to psyche in
the case of the chemical (females) and from psyche to soma in the case of the
physical (males). Therefore neither is
properly vain or righteous, as the case may be, but pseudo-vain and
pseudo-righteous under the subversive pressure of antiphysical meekness in the
case of the anti-‘insane’ and antichemical justness, or justice, in the case of
the anti-‘outsane’. And such meekness in
the one case and justice in the other pales to insignificance compared with or,
rather, contrasted to, the righteousness over pseudo-justice that characterizes
the unequivocal hegemony of metaphysics over antimetachemistry at the northeast
point of the axial compass and, across the axial divide, the vanity over
pseudo-meekness which characterizes the unequivocal hegemony of metachemistry
over antimetaphysics at its northwest point.
Meekness can only be blessed by righteousness in the event of the
antiphysical rising to salvation in metaphysics, while pseudo-vanity can only
be pseudo-cursed by pseudo-justice in the event of the chemical counter-falling
to pseudo-damnation in antimetachemistry, the former exchanging phenomenal
anti-‘insanity’ for noumenal ‘insanity’, the latter counter-sacrificing
phenomenal ‘outsanity’ for noumenal anti-‘outsanity’. Conversely, vanity can only be cursed by
justice in the event of the metachemical falling to damnation in antichemistry,
while pseudo-meekness can only be pseudo-blessed with pseudo-righteousness in
the event of the antimetaphysical counter-rising to pseudo-salvation in
physics, the former sacrificing noumenal ‘outsanity’ for phenomenal
anti-‘outsanity’, the latter counter-exchanging noumenal anti-‘insanity’ for
phenomenal ‘insanity’. Verily, nothing
is cut and dried, because the genders are opposites and can never be suited to
the same agenda, progress or counter-regress, regress or counter-progress only
happening in relation to pressures, whether external or internal, from the
opposite gender.
11. In
relation to the distinctions between vanity and pseudo-meekness, undamnation
and counter-unsalvation (pseudo-unsalvation), at the northwest point of the
axial compass, one could describe the relationship between ‘outsanity’ and
anti-‘insanity’ as mirroring this genuine/pseudo distinction in terms,
corresponding to uncursedness and counter-unblessedness (pseudo-unblessedness)
of ‘outsanity’ and pseudo-anti-‘insanity’, not in the sense that the latter is
contrary to ‘pseudo-insanity’ but rather as constitutive of a mode, nay the mode of pseudo-anti-‘insanity’, since conditioned by and
subordinate to the genuine mode of ‘outsanity’. Likewise, in relation to the distinctions
between justice and pseudo-righteousness, damnation and counter-salvation
(pseudo-salvation), at the southeast point of the axial compass, one could
describe the relationship between anti-‘outsanity’ and ‘insanity’ as mirroring
the genuine/pseudo distinction in terms, corresponding to cursedness and
counter-blessedness (pseudo-blessedness) of anti-‘outsanity’ and
‘pseudo-insanity’, since the latter is constitutive of the mode of ‘pseudo-insanity’, being subversively
conditioned (to bound somatic emphasis) by the genuine mode of anti-‘outsanity’ acting in axial conjunction with
metachemical ‘outsanity’. Conversely, in
relation, across the axial divide, to the distinctions between meekness and
pseudo-vanity, unsalvation and counter-undamnation (pseudo-undamnation), at the
southwest point of the axial compass, one could describe the relationship
between anti-‘insanity’ and ‘outsanity’ as mirroring this genuine/pseudo
distinction in terms, corresponding to unblessedness and counter-uncursedness
(pseudo-uncursedness), of anti-‘insanity’ and ‘pseudo-outsanity’, since the
latter is constitutive of the mode of
‘pseudo-outsanity’, being subversively conditioned (to bound psychic emphasis)
by the genuine mode of anti-‘insanity’ acting in
axial conjunction with metaphysical ‘insanity’.
Similarly, in relation to the distinctions between righteousness and
pseudo-justice, salvation and counter-damnation (pseudo-damnation) at the
northeast point of the axial compass, one should describe the relationship
between ‘insanity’ and anti-‘outsanity’ as mirroring the genuine/pseudo
distinction in terms, corresponding to blessedness and counter-cursedness
(pseudo-cursedness), of ‘insanity’ and pseudo-anti-‘outsanity’, not in the
sense that the latter is contrary to ‘pseudo-outsanity’ but rather as
constitutive of a mode, nay the mode of
pseudo-anti-‘outsanity’, since conditioned by and subordinate to the genuine mode of ‘insanity’ which, being metaphysical, is the
first mover in the metaphysical/antimetachemical dual integrity at the
northeast point of the axial compass and only at that point, wherein
God and the Antidevil have their respective thrones.
12. Hence
where there is undamnation and pseudo-unsalvation there will be ‘outsanity’ and
pseudo-anti-‘insanity’, corresponding to uncursedness and pseudo-unblessedness,
not to mention to vanity and pseudo-meekness, barbarity and
pseudo-philistinism, noumenal objectivity and noumenal anti-subjectivity,
spatial space and sequential time (antitime), upper-classfulness and
anti-classlessness, Devil and Antigod, Hell and Antiheaven, Vanity Fair and
Anti-Celestial City. Conversely, where
there is damnation and pseudo-salvation there will be anti-‘outsanity’ and
pseudo-‘insanity’, corresponding to cursedness and pseudo-blessedness, not to
mention to justice and pseudo-righteousness, civility and pseudo-culture,
phenomenal anti-objectivity and phenomenal subjectivity, voluminous volume
(antivolume) and massive mass, anti-lowerclassfulness and middle-classfulness,
antiwoman and man, antipurgatory and earth, Anti-Slough of Despond and Mr
Worldly Wise (of the Delectable Mountains), both dual gender polarities of
which are constitutive of state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axial criteria,
which of course stretch from the northwest point to the southeast point of the
axial compass.
13. Where,
on the other hand, there is unsalvation and counter-undamnation
(pseudo-undamnation) there will be anti-‘insanity’ and pseudo-‘outsanity’, corresponding
to unblessedness and pseudo-uncursedness, not to mention to meekness and
pseudo-vanity, philistinism and pseudo-barbarity, phenomenal anti-subjectivity
and phenomenal objectivity, massed mass (antimass) and volumetric volume,
anti-middleclassfulness and lower-classfulness, antiman and woman, anti-earth
and purgatory, Anti-Mr World Wise and Slough of Despond. Conversely, where there is salvation and
counter-damnation (pseudo-damnation) there will be ‘insanity’ and
pseudo-anti-‘outsanity’, corresponding to blessedness and pseudo-cursedness,
not to mention to righteousness and pseudo-justice, culture and
pseudo-civility, noumenal subjectivity and noumenal anti-objectivity,
repetitive time and spaced space (antispace), classlessness and anti-upperclassfulness,
God and Antidevil, Heaven and Antihell, Celestial City and Anti-Vanity Fair,
both dual gender polarities of which are constitutive of
church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axial criteria, which of course stretch from
the southwest point to the northeast point of the axial compass.
14. Hence
there is all the axial difference in the world, and even above it, whether in
netherworldly anterior vein or in otherworldly posterior vein, between rising
to salvation/counter-falling to pseudo-damnation and, largely in consequence of
this, falling to damnation/counter-rising to pseudo-salvation, since the latter
will not fall and counter-rise irrevocably until and unless the former comes to
pass on a scale and to a degree which removes the unsaved and counter-undamned
Many from their anti-omegaworldly/alpha-worldly predicaments at the southwest
point of the axial compass and thus makes it difficult if not impossible for
the undamned/counter-unsaved Few at its northwest point to prey upon them from
their netherworldly/anti-otherworldly noumenally objective and noumenally
anti-subjective heights, thus precipitating their downfall or counter-uprise,
as the gender case may be, and effectively collapsing the heretically
schismatic state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis into its
anti-alphaworldly/omega-worldly base.
What transpires after that is something that the damned/counter-saved
Many will have to determine for themselves, though I have made it clear in
previous texts that proper justice and pseudo-righteousness on the part of the
just and pseudo-righteous Many will facilitate their passage across the axial
divide to take the unsaved/counter-undamned places of the saved and
counter-damned Many in such fashion, that with due pseudo-antimanly/womanly
transformations, they too can avail of the possibility of salvation and
counter-damnation, as, ultimately, can those who had been damned and
counter-saved from the heights of vanity and pseudo-meekness and who would be
last in the queue, as it were, for axial transference and moral
transformation. But none of this will or
ever could happen without the prior salvation and counter-damnation of those
who already and traditionally appertained to church-hegemonic/state-subordinate
axial criteria and were consequently first in line for the prospects of
elevation to the northeast point of the axial compass. And for salvation and counter-damnation to
transpire on a scale and to a degree which is not only commensurate with
blessedness and counter-cursedness of a more elevated – and comparatively
genuine – order, but on a scale and degree which is likely to prove problematic
to all who now – and with such ferocity! – prey upon those at the southwest
point of the axial compass, it will have to avail of the requisite self-enhancing
and/or (depending on gender) notself-reducing substances that will be as
‘horse’ to the cyborg ‘cart’ characterizing the development of godliness and
antidevilishness/heavenliness and antihellishenss within a framework that can
be logically and morally shown to be of a per se order of metaphysics and antimetachemistry such that
only a global civilization, committed to universality and anti-polyversality,
could be expected to further, and on the basis, necessarily, of a majority
mandate for religious sovereignty in any and all countries which had the right
kind of ethnic preconditions for axial overhauling and upgrading on the
aforementioned terms, terms which I have always identified with Social
Theocracy and thus with the coming to pass of salvation and pseudo-damnation
from the anti-omegaworld and alpha-world to what, with global universality and
anti-polyversality, would be well-nigh definitive manifestations of
otherworldly and anti-netherworldly criteria commensurate with ‘Kingdom Come’,
which is to say, with the Celestial City and Anti-Vanity Fair, Eternity and
Anti-Infinity, the Omega Point and the Anti-Alpha Point, God and the Antidevil,
Heaven and Antihell of a uniquely synthetically artificial and therefore
globally universal cast.
