301. Moral
people always strive to fill-up a vacuum with a plenum, whether relatively or
absolutely, depending on the kind of morality to which they relate.
302. The
Devil can be no-less moral than God, though not in the same way or with effect
to the same ends.
303. Man
can be no-less moral than woman, though not in the same way or with effect to
the same ends.
304. If
morality is the omega-most pole of any given spectrum, then its alpha-most pole
must be immoral.
305. Positions
on any given spectrum that are neither alpha nor omega but somewhere in-between
are amoral, whether negatively in the alpha-stemming case or positively in the
omega-oriented one.
306. Association
football is immoral and rugby union moral, whereas Gaelic football is
negatively amoral and rugby league positively amoral.
307. Tennis
is immoral and squash moral, whereas table tennis is negatively amoral and
badminton positively amoral.
308. Kickboxing is immoral and armwrestling
moral, whereas boxing is negatively amoral and wrestling positively amoral.
309. Rounders is immoral and netball moral, whereas baseball is
negatively amoral and basketball positively amoral.
310. Militarism, fascism, and communism are the
barbarous alternatives to and/or preconditions of royalism,
liberalism, and socialism.
311. Militarism
barbarously protects the interests of the upper class, fascism barbarously
protects the interests of the middle class, and communism barbarously protects
the interests of the lower class.
312. When
upper-class, middle-class, and lower-class interests are being advanced in a
civilized framework, we get royalism, liberalism, and
socialism.
313. Fundamentalism
barbarously protects the interests of the classless, whereas transcendentalism
advances their interests within a civilized framework.
314. Fundamentalism stands to transcendentalism as
militarism to royalism, fascism to liberalism, and
communism to socialism.
315. Fundamentalism
is rooted in the tribe and the idols of the tribe.
316. Transcendentalism
is centred in God and the Heaven of God.
317. If women were to become Catholic priests, they would not be
'fathers' but 'mothers'.
318. Whereas
'fathers' are rooted in the Father, 'mothers' would be centred in the Mother,
viz. the Virgin Mary.
319. The
concept of female priest as 'mother' is relatively humanist, and hence
bureaucratic, i.e. of the world.
320. The
concept of male priest as 'father' is fundamentalist, and hence autocratic,
i.e. of Hell.
321. Roman
Catholicism is traditionally rooted in the autocratic and patriarchal
power-base of the Father.
322. A Catholicism with 'mothers' would presumably reflect the
triumph of the people over autocratic power and their deliverance from
patriarchal control.
323. A Catholicism with 'mothers' would be humanistic and
politically suited to a people who had achieved republican freedom.
324. Were
Catholicism to become purely humanistic, female priests would be the bureaucratic
rule and male ones the autocratic exception!
325. The Second Coming, knowing no father, would rather do divine
business with 'mothers' than with 'fathers'.
326. It is
unlikely that the institution of the confessional would long survive the ordination
of female priests!
327. Confession
is rooted in the Father, and entails subservience to autocratic control.
328. He
who confesses is like a penitent son before a stern father, whose only hope of
forgiveness lies with the intercession of his mother.
329. If
the 'mother' were priest, then forgiveness would be virtually automatic and
confession a mere formality.
330. It
could be argued that confession of sins would be less credible vis-à-vis a
female priest than vis-à-vis a male one, and that, this being the case, both
sin and confession would quickly die a natural (heathen) death.
331. Ultimately,
it is not commensurate with the dignity of free men to confess to sins before
an autocratic father-figure.
332. When
there are neither 'fathers' nor 'mothers', nor even 'sons' and 'daughters', but
only brethren of the free spirit - then, and only then, will the 'Kingdom of
Heaven' be at-hand!
333. The
celebration of the Mass divides Christ's body (wafer) and blood (wine) between
the Mother (laity) and the Father (priest), with worldly and hellish overtones
respectively.
334. Blood
is the diabolic omega and flesh the mundane omega -
the one of Hell and the other of the world.
335. Those
who are of the Father gorge themselves on blood (or its symbolic surrogate),
whereas those who are of the Mother feast on the flesh (or its symbolic
surrogate).
336. In the Mass, Christ's intellect is sundered by and
transcended in the will and soul of His body and blood.
337. By receiving
the wafer-symbolism of Christ's body, the faithful affirm their connection with
and ongoing loyalty to the world.
338. The
act of receiving the wafer both confirms and preserves the phenomenal
subjectivity of the world.
339. Were
there no phenomenal subjectivity, there could be no noumenal
subjectivity beyond the world.
340. As a vehicle for the preservation of phenomenal subjectivity
... pending the Second Coming, the Mass more than justifies its retention.
341. With the Second Coming, the Mass, together with confession,
will cease to be viable and therefore acceptable.
342. Folly
is an attribute of the Antidevil/Devil and wisdom an
attribute of the Antigod/God.
343. When wisdom is negative, or spatial, it is an attribute of
the Antigod.
344. When wisdom is positive, or spiritual, it is an attribute of
God.
345. When folly is negative, or sequential, it is an attribute of
the Antidevil.
346. When folly is positive, or emotional, it is an attribute of
the Devil.
347. Spatial
antiwisdom vis-à-vis spiritual wisdom.
348. Sequential
antifolly vis-à-vis emotional folly.
349. Cleverness
is an attribute of the antiman/man and stupidity an
attribute of the antiwoman/woman.
350. When cleverness is negative, or volumetric, it is an
attribute of the antiman.
351. When cleverness is positive, or intellectual, it is an
attribute of man.
352. When stupidity is negative, or massed, it is an attribute of
the antiwoman.
353. When stupidity is positive, or wilful, it is an attribute of
woman.
354. Volumetric
anticleverness vis-à-vis intellectual cleverness.
355. Massed
antistupidity vis-à-vis wilful stupidity.
356. Both antiwisdom/wisdom and antifolly/folly
are noumenal.
357. Both anticleverness/cleverness and antistupidity/stupidity
are phenomenal.
358. The antiwisdom of Antiheaven
contrasts with the wisdom of Heaven.
359. The antifolly of Antihell contrasts
with the folly of Hell.
360. The anticleverness of Antipurgatory
contrasts with the cleverness of Purgatory.
361. The antistupidity of the Antiworld
contrasts with the stupidity of the World.
362. In a regressive salvation, the antistupid
of the Antiworld are brought to the antiwisdom of Antiheaven.
363. In a progressive salvation, the stupid of the World are
brought to the wisdom of Heaven.
364. In a regressive damnation, the anticlever
of Antipurgatory are brought to the antifolly of Antihell.
365. In a progressive damnation, the clever of Purgatory are
brought to the folly of Hell.
366. The anticlever/clever 'First' shall be the antifoolish/foolish
Last.
367. The antistupid/stupid 'Last' shall be the antiwise/wise
First.
368. From a nonconformist cleverness in the Holy Mind (intellect)
of Purgatory ... to a fundamentalist folly in the Holy Soul (blood) of Hell.
369. From
a humanist stupidity in the Holy Will (flesh) of the
World ... to a transcendentalist wisdom in the Holy Spirit (consciousness) of
Heaven.
370. From a parliamentary anticleverness
in the Unholy Mind (water) of Antipurgatory ... to a
fascist antifolly in the Unholy Soul (fire) of Antihell.
371. From
a republican antistupidity in the Unholy Will (earth) of the Antiworld ...
to a communist antiwisdom in the Unholy Spirit
(light) of Antiheaven.
372. The
Unholy diverge externally from a vacuum, whereas the Holy converge internally
upon a plenum.
373. Better,
positively, the joyful wisdom than the pleasurable stupidity!
374. The
wisdom of joy in relation to truth.
375. The
stupidity of pleasure in relation to beauty.
376. The Saved go from good to better, as from the World to
Heaven.
377. The Damned go from bad to worse, as from Purgatory to Hell.
378. Saved
from the phenomenal subjectivity of pleasure to the noumenal
subjectivity of joy.
379. Damned
from the phenomenal objectivity of love to the noumenal
objectivity of pride.
380. Worse,
positively, the proud folly than the loving cleverness!
381. The
folly of pride in relation to strength.
382. The
cleverness of love in relation to goodness.
383. Better,
negatively, the woeful antiwisdom than the painful antistupidity!
384. The antiwisdom of woe in relation to illusion.
385. The antistupidity of pain in relation to ugliness.
386. Worse,
negatively, the humiliating antifolly than the
hateful anticleverness!
387. The antifolly of humility, if not
humiliation, in relation to weakness.
388. The anticleverness of hate in relation to evil.
389. The Antisaved go from anti-good to
anti-better, as from the Antiworld to Antiheaven.
390. The Antidamned go from anti-bad to
anti-worse, as from Antipurgatory to Antihell.
391. Saved,
negatively, from the phenomenal subjectivity of pain to the noumenal
subjectivity of woe.
392. Damned,
negatively, from the phenomenal objectivity of hate to the noumenal
objectivity of humiliation.
393. The feminine
stupid become divine wise.
394. The
masculine clever become diabolic fools.
395. Those
who are inherently foolish, and hence noumenally
objective, are devils rather than the Damned.
396. Those who are inherently wise, and hence noumenally
subjective, are gods rather than the Saved.
397. Devils
torment the Damned, fundamentalizing nonconformists.
398. Gods
redeem the Saved, transcendentalizing humanists.
399. Gods
and devils are sometimes at work in the same society, but more often they
pertain to different kinds of society.
400.
Space
can be either alpha or omega - spatial or spaced.
