51. Compared to the Old Testament, the New
Testament, which is of Christ, is indeed the work of writers (epistles).
52. No more than reading approximates to the soul
... does thinking approximate to the spirit.
Both the heart and lungs are outside the scope, necessarily
intellectual, of the brain.
53. Broadly speaking, writing (Christ) and
reading (the Father) are more Protestant than Catholic, whereas speaking (the
Virgin) and thinking (the Holy Ghost) are more Catholic than Protestant.
54. The Protestant
damnation from writing to reading contrasts with the Catholic salvation from
speaking to thinking, as Purgatory and purgatorial Hell with World-denying
holiness and purgatorial Heaven.
55. To think religiously
is, of course, to pray, and prayer is a Catholic approach to Heaven.
56. The Heathen British prefer the Mother to the
Blessed Virgin ... as they prefer the fullness/richness of the World to
World-denying emptiness/holiness.
57. Whether a World-denying situation is empty or
holy will of course depend upon the attitude - and nature - of the person who
is subject to it.
58. Association Football is a game which affirms
the World, from a male point-of-view, as each set of
players (team) strives to score in their opponents' net, the parallel with sex
or, rather, conception ... only too obvious.
59. The Catholic Irish prefer, in their
allegiance to the Blessed Virgin, to score points over the bar/between the
uprights in their form of football (Gaelic) to scoring points (goals) in the
net, since the latter would be more heathen - and therefore British - than
Christian. At least this is
theoretically why the Irish goal is different from the soccer goal, in
deference to Catholic sensibility; though, in practice, there is nothing
(excepting the goalkeeper) to prevent points being scored in the net ... in
what may well constitute a more republican, because heathen, context.
60. To be damned, relative to the intellect, from
fiction to poetry, as from writing to reading, but to be saved, in such
fashion, from drama to philosophy, as from speaking to thinking.
61. From the literary
Hell of poetry to the literary Heaven of philosophy via the literary Purgatory
of fiction and the literary World of drama.
62. From the fiction of Christ to the poetry of
the Father in regard to objective damnation, but from the drama of the Blessed
Virgin to the philosophy of the Holy Ghost in regard to subjective salvation.
63. The drama of the
Blessed Virgin contrasts with the drama of the Mother as tragedy with comedy,
since tragedy is World-denying and comedy World-affirming (like being
pregnant).
64. The drama of the
Mary Child, being subdramatic, is effectively subtragic, or tragi-comic, and
paves the way not for philosophy (which is of the Holy Ghost) but for superphilosophy (which is of the Holy Spirit of Heaven).
65. The Mary Child, or female child, is less holy
than empty, and in the vacuum of her emptiness are sown the seeds of divine
revolt by the Second Coming against all that is low and empty.
66. The evil of the Mary
Child is more absolute than the evil of the Blessed Virgin, though both are
alike actors in the Christian (and specifically Catholic) tragedy which is at
the root of the resurrectional revolt which leads to
divine goodness.
67. The comedy of the
heathen Mother inspires not a divine revolt but an antidivine
rise ... to the Son, who is but the Antichristic (in
relation to the Christ Child) consequence of heathen goodness.
68. If the Son is effectively antichristic
vis-à-vis the Christ Child, the true link between the Blessed Virgin and the
Holy Ghost, then the Father is effectively antispiritual
vis-à-vis the Holy Ghost, since One Who emotionally
acts upon the Mother in perpetuation of the World.
69. The heathen circle of Father-Mother-Son has nothing
whatsoever to do with the Christian circle of Blessed Virgin - Christ Child -
Holy Ghost. It is the secular
counterpart of the religious path to salvation, a World-affirming delusion
which perpetuates sin and suffering.
70. We must learn to think more in terms of the
Mary Child - Second Coming - Holy Spirit of Heaven, with the Third being
commensurate with salvation from the First via the Second ... in what will
truly be an Eternal Beyond.
71. Musicians and painters are not genuinely
Christian types of artist but akin, in their soulful and spiritual extremes, to
Fundamentalists and Transcendentalists for whom the heart and the lungs are of
more relevance than the brain. For they
are motivated not by volume but by time and space respectively, and thus stand
to writers ... as devils and gods to men, proponents of either a cultural Hell
(music) or a cultural Heaven (art) rather than, as with the principal types of
writer, one or another mode of cultural Purgatory.
72. Of course, none of the above types of artist
should be confounded with their anti-art, and more objective, counterparts, who
are less religious (absolute) or political (relative) than economic (relative)
or scientific (absolute). Antimusicians and antipainters
are less Fundamentalists and Transcendentalists, respectively, than Naturalists
and Idealists, just as antiwriters are less
Christians than Materialists.
73. To conceive a correlation between A4
ring-binders/paper and the Blessed Virgin, but between A5 ring-binders/paper
and the Mary Child. For
ring-binders/paper are effectively feminine, and hence of the unconscious in
one degree or another. In contrast to
compact discs and/or floppies, which signify, it seems to me, a superconscious revolt - and resurrection - leading to the Life
Eternal.
74. The dividing line
between the unconscious and the sub-unconscious has the Mother on one side of
it and the Blessed Virgin on the other, the former heathen, the latter
Christian.
75. Strictly speaking, the Blessed Virgin is
commensurate with the pseudo-subunconscious ... such
that leads, via the pseudo-consciousness of the Christ Child, to the pseudo-superconsciousness of the Holy Ghost, this latter situated
in the brain.
76. Hence where the Blessed Virgin epitomizes the
pseudo-subunconscious, the Mary Child, or female
child, epitomizes the sub-unconscious in its genuine, or absolutist,
manifestation. It is vis-à-vis this more
radical manifestation of the sub-unconscious that the quasi-superconsciousness
of the Second Coming will engineer the resurrectional
revolt that will culminate in the superconsciousness
of the Holy Spirit of Heaven in 'Kingdom Come'.
77. The consciousness of
Christ, the Son, leads to the pseudo-subconsciousness
of the Father, who is attracted towards the unconsciousness of the Mother.
78. By comparison with the pseudo-subconsciousness, in cerebral emotions, of the Father, the subconsciousness of Allah, as indeed of his satanic
antithesis, is manifestly genuine; for it is a subconsciousness
not of the brain but of the heart, not of the intellect but of the soul.
79. By contrast to the superconsciousness
of the Holy Spirit of Heaven, the super-unconsciousness of the Clear Light of
the Void is an inception and not a culmination, a beginning and not an end, an
idealism and not a transcendentalism, a mysticism and not a gnosticism,
a vacuum and not a plenum, a root and not a centre.
80. Those who make it through to the superconscious will not only be beyond nature but the
supernatural as well, being the supercultural refutation
of supernature.
They will be free from supernatural law for supercultural
Heaven, free from superfeminine conscience for supermasculine bliss, free from the primal antibeing of the Creator for the supreme being of the
ultimate Creation (of man), free from the Universe for the universal self.
81. One can no more have socialism without
capitalism than ... woman without man.
Socialism is largely concerned with the distribution, on as wide and
equitable a basis as possible, of wealth, but to create wealth in the first
place one must have capitalism. Too much
wealth and too little socialism, or too much socialism and too little wealth
... and one is heading for trouble. The thing is to strike a balance between
capitalism and socialism, so that there will always be wealth to distribute to
as many people as possible. Yet this
does not mean to say that such a balance is the best of all possible
worlds. It is simply the best relative
to the sort of open societies in which most Western countries currently
exist. There are still other
possibilities ... which transcend capitalism and socialism, no less than men
and women.
82. The absence of a workable balance between
capitalism and socialism spells one of two things: either a situation of state capitalism
and therefore Fascism on the one hand, that of a preponderating capitalism, or
a situation of state socialism and therefore Communism on the other hand, that
of a predominating socialism. Too much
capitalism and the likelihood is that one will end-up with a fascist economy
run on state capitalist lines. Too much
socialism, on the other hand, and the likelihood is of a communist economy run
on state socialist lines. Neither
economy can work: the first because it is manifestly unjust; the second because
it will lack the wealth to sustain itself on any but a repressive basis. Hence if the worst is not to come to the
worst, capitalism and socialism must be in balance ... so that there is both
wealth (within reasonable bounds) and the will to distribute it on an equitable
basis.
83. As capitalism draws closer to the People, and
thus further from the possibility of Fascism, it becomes populist, and thus a
reflection, in terms of the wider distribution and availability of shares, of
the social collectivism obtaining among those who are the principal recipients
of the wealth-creating process, namely the People themselves. A society, on the contrary, in which not the
social collective but the capitalist individual ... is the principal
beneficiary of wealth creation ... may well spark a social revolt resulting, if
crushed, in Fascism, and thus in even greater oppression of the People by an
economic elite who then control the State to protect their capitalist
gains. For if the self-serving
Capitalist can gain control of the State, he will use it as a tool of social
oppression, and this may lead, in due course of reactionary time, to a
communist backlash, such that will strive to take over the State in the
People's name and with a view to eradicating capitalism. Hence the one extreme may lead to the other,
and both are inherently fallible. Only
when the State is an arbiter between Industry and the People, the Few and the
Many, rather than on the side of either the Few (Fascism) or the Many
(Communism), is it doing what it should be doing, which is to say, serving the
interests of all!
84. Obviously, for the State to be an arbitrator
between Industry and the People it must be democratic, and thus reflective of
the sort of class divisions which characterize a vibrant and productive
society. Such a State may exhibit,
within the liberal parameters of its democratic pluralism, fascistic and/or
communistic tendencies (as when industry, services, etc., are nationalized on either
a state capitalist or a state socialist basis - the former by the Conservative
Party and the latter by Labour), but it will never succumb to the evils of
Fascism or of Communism per se.
85. In sexual terms, one
could say that whereas the liberal State, balanced between capitalism and socialism,
is heterosexual, the fascist State, by contrast, is homosexual and the
communist State comparatively lesbian.
For whereas the liberal State reflects both male and female
characteristics, the fascist State, centred in capitalism, is overly masculine,
while the communist State, rooted in socialism, is no-less overly feminine, and
neither of the latter can expect to reproduce, much less produce, anything
worthwhile.
86. Repression of the feminine element by the
masculine ... is characteristic of the fascist State's will to survive, while,
conversely, repression of the masculine element by the feminine ... typifies
the communist State's will to survive.
Sooner or later, however, what has been systematically repressed will
rise-up with a vengeance and wreak revolutionary justice on the system
responsible for its repression. The
result will be either a swing from one extreme to the other or, failing that,
the establishment of something approaching a balance between the masculine and
feminine elements in what one would call a liberal democracy. Hence the heterosexual nature of liberal
democracy contrasts with both the homosexual nature of 'capital democracy' (or
Fascism) and the lesbian nature of 'social democracy' (or Communism).
87. Whereas the relationship between, say, the
Conservative Party and the Labour Party in Britain is effectively heterosexual,
reflecting masculine (capitalist) and feminine (socialist) interests, the
Liberal Party (latterly Liberal Democrats) is effectively androgynous, since combining
both capitalist and socialist, masculine and feminine elements within itself in
what is, I would guess, the quintessence of Liberalism. Thus unlike both the Conservative and Labour
parties, the Liberal Democrats can alternate between capitalism and socialism,
even to the extent of nationalizing industry, services, etc., on either a
fascistic or a communistic basis, depending on the context. For centrism allows for both right- and
left-wing alternatives, even though the chances are that, being centrist, the
Liberal Party will be less inclined to nationalize (and thus embrace contrary
extremes) than to maintain, as far as possible, a laissez-faire approach to
both capitalism and socialism, seeking neither an overly masculine nor an
overly feminine bias (such that would prove too politically divisive), but
adhering to the androgynous middle-ground.
88. Since the division between the unconscious
and the conscious is effectively between sensuality and spirituality, or nature
and culture, one can argue, as I shall, for the equation of the unconscious
with Hell and of the conscious with Heaven or, at any rate, for an equivalent
designation, depending on the nature of the unconscious/conscious dichotomy.
89. More specifically, it seems to me that if the
heathen unconscious, the unconscious of the Mother, is of the World, then the
World is a kind of 'good Hell', and thus a sphere of unconscious sensuality
which contrasts with the 'bad Heaven', so to speak, of the heathen conscious,
the conscious of the Son, whose writerly
intellectuality leads back towards the heathen subconscious, the subconscious
of the Father in what is, I suppose, a 'bad Subheaven',
given the emotional connotations which accrue to the readerly
context in question.
90. Be that as it may (and although there is a
sense in which, from its own point of view, the distinction between the
unconscious and the conscious is akin to Hell and Heaven), we have to confess
that, strictly speaking, such a distinction connotes with the World and Purgatory,
since both Hell and Heaven are Christian designations which can therefore only
be applied loosely and, as it were, figuratively to the heathen contexts in
question, including, be it noted, to the Mother and to the Son/Father.
91. No, if the unconscious and the conscious
respectively connote with the World and Purgatory, then whatever connotes with
Hell and Heaven has to be properly Christian and thus reflective not of an
unconscious/conscious division ... but of a sub-unconscious/superconscious
division such that calls to mind the more Catholic deities of the Blessed
Virgin and the Holy Ghost, the one leading to the other via the Christ Child,
the Christic per se of Catholicism. Perhaps, in view of our more extreme
terminology, the use of equivalent extremes like 'Subhell'
and 'Superheaven' is more appropriate here, since we
are dealing in more absolutist contexts which, unlike the World and Purgatory,
are evil and good through and through.
For, after all, the Blessed Virgin is a vacuum of virginity, and thus a
World-denying refutation of the heathen plenum of fecund motherhood which, as
we have argued, corresponds to a 'good Hell', a paradoxical and notably
relative description. Now the Virgin, or
the context of adult virginity, is no 'good Hell' but a 'bad Hell', a Subhell of Christian vacuity, and thus the guarantor of resurrectional revolt, via the Christ Child, towards the
Holy Ghost, the spiritual plenum of prayerful contemplation and visionary
transcendence such that contrasts, in the most superheavenly
terms, with the vacuous chatter, no matter how prayerful, of those who remain
moored to the Blessed Virgin. So the
real Christian Hell and Heaven, viz. the Blessed Virgin and the Holy Ghost, are
very much pertinent to Catholicism, wherein the sub-unconscious is the
foundation of superconscious transcendence, both
anterior to (as prayer, meditation) and posterior to (as chemically-induced
visionary experience) the grave. There
could be no greater distinction, in Christianity, than that between the Blessed
Virgin and the Holy Ghost, the 'Subhell' of the one a
precondition of the 'Superheaven' (relative to the
Trinity) of the other.
92. Yet this same distinction is even more
characteristic of Social Transcendentalism, my own contribution to religious evolution,
wherein we would have to contemplate a more radical, because even more
absolutist, distinction between the sub-unconscious of the Mary Child, or
female child, and the superconscious of the Holy
Spirit of Heaven, the former leading, via the Second Coming, to the latter, as
we move beyond the outer limits of World-denying virginity to the
inner-parameters of Heaven-affirming spirituality, a spirituality not centred
in the brain but in the lungs, and thus reflective of an airy plenum such that
correlates with 'Kingdom Come' and its promise of 'Eternal Life', a life
ultimately implying the overcoming of man and his supersession,
gradually and methodically, by ever-more transcendent post-human life
forms. It is with the Holy Spirit of
Heaven, however, that Heaven finally attains to its superconscious
peak, a peak at once supermasculine, supercultural, and superdivine. This is no Christian (Roman Catholic) Heaven,
but the long-awaited Social Transcendentalist Superheaven
that is both a refutation of and revolt against the socialistic Subhell of feminist subnature and
sub-unconscious evil. This definitive
Heaven is the ultimate good, and if it is at the farthest possible dichotomous
remove from the Subhell of the Mary Child, it is
antithetical, as omega vis-à-vis alpha, to the superfeminine
Clear Light of the Void with which, so we believe, the Universe began. Hence a joyful culmination
to evolution, as opposed to the woeful (horror vacui) inception of evolution or, more probably,
devolution ... in the cosmic light.
93. But if this Clear Light, this 'Judaic
Creator', was superfeminine or supernatural, then it
was, as we earlier argued, super-unconscious, and thus not heavenly (contrary
to what Biblical tradition has taught), but effectively superhellish,
i.e. the superhellish inception of the cosmos from
which, in solar revolt, came in due course of time the 'Satanic Fall' ... of
the numerous stars/suns that characterize, for instance, the Galaxy. But this fall of Satan from Jehovah, of the
'Clear Fire' from the 'Clear Light', was into the subconscious and thus, as we
have seen, something submasculine, subcultural, and, above all, subheavenly. It was the beginnings, in proton positivity, of Heaven, albeit, given the cosmic context, in
scientific (and therefore outer and pseudo) terms. It was not the Devil that fell from God, but
God from the Devil or, more specifically, the Satanic Subgod
from the Jehovahesque Superdevil,
a subconscious Subheaven from a super-unconscious Superhell! And it is
vis-à-vis this Superhell that the Holy Spirit of
Heaven is an absolute antithesis - supermasculine to superfeminine, supercultural to
supernatural, superconscious to super-unconscious, superdivine to superdiabolic! Verily, the fact is that in the Beginning was
not God but the Superdevil, and that this first
revolt against vacuous negativity was not a rise (heathen), still less a
resurrection (Christian), but a fall (pagan), the fall of the Satanic Subgod into Subheaven!
94. Doubtless, the fact that we are accustomed,
through Biblical conditioning, to thinking in terms of the fall of Satan (and
his angels, viz. other peripheral stars) from Jehovah ... has contributed
towards the belief that the fallen state is hellish and the original primal one
alone heavenly. Yet it is no less
characteristic of this Satanic Fall that it reflects a revolt against an
original vacuum ... than of the resurrectional revolt
of the Holy Ghost vis-à-vis the Blessed Virgin.
The only difference, apart from the scientific/religious distinction
which exists between the contexts in question, is that whereas the fall is from
a supernatural plane to a subcultural (barbarous)
one, the Resurrection is from a subnatural plane to a
supercultural one.
In other words, we are accustomed to equating deliverance, and thus
divinity, with the 'super' plane, whereas anything prefixed by a 'sub'
automatically puts us on our guard against diabolical possibilities. Yet while the supernatural may be 'higher
than', because anterior to, the subcultural, its
association with the super-unconscious should leave one in little doubt that it
corresponds to a superhellish and therefore superdiabolic reality, the very reality that led to the
Satanic Revolt, and thus to the establishment, in solar positivity,
of the subdivine.
Such a level of subdivinity, corresponding to
the subconscious, was the first manifestation of free will over natural
determinism, and the resurrectional revolt of the
Holy Spirit of Heaven will be the last!
95. Considering that the Satanic 'Fallen Angel'
corresponds to a scientific Subheaven of
approximately solar constitution, then it need not surprise us if Allah
corresponds to a religious Subheaven, in subconsciousness, of soulful constitution, the Subheaven of the heart and its religious fundamentalism. For it seems to me that, contrary to my
customary evaluations, Allah is less the Holy Soul of Hell than the Holy Soul
of Subheaven, and thus the religious antithesis to
the Clear Fire of Time (or scientific Subheaven) in
which Satan has his throne. Now this
fundamentalist Subheaven of Allah is to the Christian
Subheaven of the Father what the transcendentalist Superheaven of the Holy Spirit (of Heaven) is to the
Christian Superheaven of the Holy Ghost, viz. the
more extreme, and thus genuine, manifestation of the Heaven in question. For the poles of the Christian Heaven
appertain to the brain, wherein the purgatorial intellect has its Christic throne, whereas the fundamentalist Heaven of Allah
appertains to the heart, and the transcendentalist Heaven of the Holy Spirit
(of Heaven) to the lungs, the former genuinely subheavenly
and the latter no less genuinely superheavenly. Now just as the transcendentalist Heaven is
antithetical, as we argued, to the Jehovahesque Superhell of the Clear Light of Space (the Void), so the
fundamentalist Heaven is antithetical to the Satanic Subheaven
of the Clear Fire of Time, pretty much as a vampire, say Count Dracula, to the
sun. In fact, one cannot conceive of a
fundamentalist afterlife, or eternity, except in relation
to vampires, since the heart cannot survive death like, to some extent, the
brain, and therefore no survival of death is possible to Fundamentalists within
strictly fundamentalist terms except in relation
to the morally dubious realm of vampirism, wherein the vampire sustains an
occult life beyond the grave by gorging himself on the blood of his chosen
victims. Doubtless, the
transcendentalist eternity, when it comes to pass, will be much less occult and
far more utopian, given the moral distinction which indubitably exists between
the supercultural and the subcultural,
the spirit and the soul. And it will
outlast, by far, the Christian afterlife of cerebral transmutations in the
grave!
96. Where the 'sub' contexts, whether conscious
or unconscious, are immoral, the 'super' contexts, whether conscious or
unconscious, are moral, while the intermediate contexts, both conscious and
unconscious, are amoral, albeit with a contrary bias, so that the conscious,
for example, is amoral with a positive bias (towards the [immoral] subconscious
Father) and the unconscious is amoral with a negative bias (towards the
[immoral] sub-unconscious Virgin). Hence
whereas the super-unconscious corresponds, in its superfemininity,
to a noumenal Hell, the Superhell
of supernature, the unconscious corresponds, in its
femininity, to an amoral Hell, the worldly Hell of nature, and the
sub-unconscious, in its subfemininity, to an immoral
Hell, the Subhell of subnature
(on both Catholic and feminist terms, the former with reference to the Virgin
Mary, and the latter with reference to what I have called the Mary Child). Conversely, whereas the subconscious
corresponds, in its submasculinity, to an immoral
Heaven, the Subheaven of subculture (on both
scientific and religious terms, e.g. Satan and the Father and/or Allah), the
conscious corresponds, in its masculinity, to an amoral Heaven, the purgatorial
Heaven of culture, and the superconscious, in its supermasculinity, to a moral Heaven, the Superheaven of superculture (on
both Catholic and transcendentalist terms, the former with reference to the
Holy Ghost and the latter with reference to the Holy Spirit of Heaven).
97. Politically speaking, that which is of the
unconscious is left wing and that, by contrast, which is of
the conscious ... right wing, whereas that which is of the sub-unconscious is
extreme left-wing and that which is of the superconscious
... extreme right-wing. Now in
the case of the conscious options, things proceed from left to right, as from
the subconscious to the superconscious via the
conscious, whereas in the case of the unconscious options things proceed, by
contrast, from right to left, as from the super-unconscious, which is extreme
right-wing, to the sub-unconscious via the unconscious. This is largely because the conscious, or
masculine, aspect of life evolves, while the unconscious, or feminine, aspect
of it devolves, the former towards the supermasculine
superconscious, and the latter away from the superfeminine super-unconscious. The one tradition converges towards an Omega
Point, while the other tradition diverges from an Alpha Point, the former
transcendentalist and profoundly religious, the latter idealistic and
profoundly scientific. Hence although
the superfeminine super-unconscious has an extreme
right-wing correlation, it is the correlation of a scientific Beginning rather
than, as in the no-less extreme right-wing case of the supermasculine
superconscious, of a religious End.
98. From the Christian Extreme Left of the Virgin
Mary to the Christian Extreme Right of the Holy Ghost via the right-wing
culture of the Christ Child.
99. Similarly, from the socialist/feminist
Extreme Left of the Mary Child to the transcendentalist Extreme Right of the
Holy Spirit of Heaven via the right-wing culture of the Second Coming.
100. Conversely, from the heathen Left of the Mother
to the heathen Extreme Left of the Father via the right-wing culture of the
Son. (Note that in relation to the Trinity, the Father is extreme left-wing,
the Son right wing, and the Holy Ghost extreme right-wing.)
