1a. The being of spirit vis-à-vis the feeling of soul.

b. The knowing of intellect vis-à-vis the doing of will.

2a. Spirit is the light of being; soul, by contrast, the heat of feeling.

b. Intellect is the coldness of knowing; will, by contrast, the darkness of doing.

3a. The darkness of doing is contrary to the light of being; for the world is antithetical to Heaven.

b. The coldness of knowing is contrary to the heat of feeling; for purgatory is antithetical to Hell.

4a. Hell is no-less contiguous with Heaven than ... soul with spirit.

b. The world is no-less contiguous with purgatory than ... will with intellect.

b. From the lightness of air to the heaviness of earth via the brightness of fire and the dullness of water.

11a. The light of outer being precedes the lightness of outer air, but the lightness of inner air precedes the light of inner being.

b. The darkness of outer doing precedes the heaviness of outer earth, but the heaviness of inner earth precedes the darkness of inner doing.

12a. The heat of outer feeling precedes the brightness of outer fire, but the brightness of inner fire precedes the heat of inner feeling.

b. The coldness of outer knowing precedes the dullness of outer water, but the dullness of inner water precedes the coldness of inner knowing.

13a. From the spiritual light of the superconscious to the instinctual darkness of the unconscious via the emotional heat of the subconscious and the intellectual coldness of the conscious.

41a. God saves those who, ever beautiful, are bound to the deeds of the world.

b. The Devil damns those who, ever good, are free in the thoughts of purgatory.

42a. God can only save; for God is truth, and truth is blessed.

b. The Devil can only damn; for the Devil is strength, and strength is cursed.

43a. God has no interest in the Good; only in the Beautiful.

b. The Devil has no interest in the Beautiful; only in the Good.

82a. The Father, correlating with strength, is the 'God' of the upper class.

b. The Mother, correlating with beauty, is the 'God(dess)' of the lower class.

83a. The Son, correlating with goodness, is the 'God' of the middle class.

b. The Holy Spirit, correlating with truth, is the God of the classless.

84a. Both the Father and the Mother, as described above, are false gods, since neither strength nor beauty appertains to the divine.

b. The Son, as described above, is also a false god, since goodness does not appertain to the divine, whereas the Holy Spirit is the one true god ... inasmuch as truth, and truth alone, appertains to the divine.

85a. Hence a society which values truth above all else, even to the exclusion of strength, will be classless.

b. In contrast to that society which, valuing strength above all else, even to the exclusion of truth, is upper class.

89a. Classless societies are alone capable, in their transcendentalism, of furthering the truth of God ... the Holy Spirit.

b. Class-bound societies, whether fundamentalist, humanist, or nonconformist, are incapable of furthering the truth of God ... the Holy Spirit; for they are not centred/rooted in God but in something less.

90a. The furthest removed from the truth of God ... the Holy Spirit ... are those societies rooted in strength, and hence the Devil.

b. For the Devil is that which, glorifying strength, is furthest removed from God, and hence the possibility of truth.

91a. The nearest to the truth of God ... the Holy Spirit ... are those societies centred in beauty, and hence woman.

b. For woman is that which, embodying beauty, is nearest to God, and thus to the possibility of truth.

92a. Further removed from the truth of God ... the Holy Spirit ... are those societies rooted in goodness, and hence man.

b. For man is that which, embodying goodness, is further removed (than woman) from God, and hence the possibility of truth.

93a. Those who affirm strength are the enemies of God ... whether their symbol of this affirmation be the Father, Allah, or anything else.

b. Such men are fundamentalist, and they relate, consciously or unconsciously, to upper-class values.

94a. Those who affirm beauty are friends of the world ... whether their symbol of this affirmation be the Blessed Virgin, Venus, or anything else.

b. Such men or, more usually, women are humanist, and they relate, consciously or unconsciously, to lower-class values.

95a. Those who affirm goodness are the enemies of the world ... whether their symbol of this affirmation be the Son, Mohammed, or anything else.

b. Such men are nonconformist, and they relate, consciously or unconsciously, to middle-class values.

96a. Those who affirm truth are the friends of God ... whether their symbol of this affirmation be the Holy Spirit, the Omega Point, or anything else.

b. Such people are transcendentalist, and they relate, consciously or unconsciously, to classless values.

97a. The real enemy of truth is not beauty or goodness but strength, and consequently God need only fear the Devil.

b. The real enemy of beauty is not strength or truth but goodness, and consequently woman need only fear man.

98a. God must accordingly fear the influence of the Devil which, under the banner of strength-affirming fundamentalism, opposes what is divine.

b. Woman must accordingly fear the influence of man who, under the banner of goodness-affirming nonconformism, opposes what is feminine.

99a. To oppose the divine is to affirm fundamentalism at the expense of transcendentalism, and thus to champion strength at truth's expense.

b. To oppose the feminine is to affirm nonconformism at the expense of humanism, and thus to champion goodness at beauty's expense.

100a. Ultimately the Devil can no more defeat God than man can defeat woman.

b. For strength is as ill-qualified to triumph over truth ... as goodness to undermine beauty.
