Aphoristic Philosophy

_____________
1. No two writers
are further apart than the poet and the philosopher - the former as Devil and
the latter as God.
2. The poet is a
writer of time and the philosopher, by contrast, a writer of space.
3. Musically
speaking, the poet is rooted in rhythm, while the philosopher aspires, through
thought, towards pitch.
4. The negative, or
alpha-stemming, poet is a writer of weakness, whose time (metre) is sequential.
5. The positive, or
omega-oriented, poet is a writer of strength, whose time (metre) is repetitive.
6. The Satanic poet
is rooted in fire, while the fundamentalist poet is centred in the blood.
7. The negative, or
alpha-stemming, philosopher is a writer of illusion, whose space (aphoristic)
is spatial.
8. The positive, or
omega-oriented, philosopher (theosopher) is a writer of truth, whose space
(aphoristic) is spaced.
9. The Creatoresque
philosopher is rooted in light, while the transcendentalist philosopher is
centred in air.
10. A man is
destined to be either a poet or a philosopher, diabolic or divine, rather than
both.
11. The paradoxical
phenomenon of the philosophical poet owes not a little to the debasement and
even eradication of the Divine through the so-called space-time continuum of
modern science.
12. In reality, the
decadent vagaries of modern science notwithstanding, no two absolutes could be
less reconcilable than space and time, the Devil and God.
13. The true
philosopher may occasionally dabble in literature, or even drama, but he will
never be a poet.
14. For poets and
philosophers stand at opposite noumenal extremes - the former objective and the
latter subjective.
15. Novelists and
dramatists also stand in a contrary relationship, albeit one that is phenomenal
rather than noumenal.
16. To contrast the
phenomenal objectivity of the novelist with the phenomenal subjectivity of the
dramatist, the former effectively masculine and the latter feminine.
17. The dramatist is
a doer of mass and the novelist, by contrast, a knower of volume.
18. Musically
speaking, the dramatist is rooted in harmony while the novelist aspires,
through narrative, towards melody.
19. The negative, or
alpha-stemming, dramatist is a writer of ugliness, whose mass is massed.
20. The positive, or
omega-oriented, dramatist is a writer of beauty, whose mass is massive.
21. The antivirginal
dramatist is rooted in earth, while the humanistic dramatist is centred in the
flesh.
22. The negative, or
alpha-stemming, novelist is a writer of evil, whose volume is volumetric.
23. The positive, or
omega-oriented, novelist is a writer of good, whose volume is voluminous.
24. The antichristic
novelist is rooted in water, while the nonconformistic novelist is centred in
the brain.
25. A man is
generally destined to be either a dramatist or a novelist, mundane or
purgatorial, rather than both.
26. The paradoxical
phenomenon of the dramatic novelist owes not a little to the debasement and
even eradication of the mundane through what might be called the mass-volume
continuum of contemporary liberal civilization.
27. In reality, the hegemonic
predominance of liberal civilization notwithstanding, no two relativities could
be less reconcilable than volume and mass, or man and woman.
28. The real
dramatist may occasionally dabble in poetry, but he will never be a novelist.
29. If the novelist,
to speak rather colloquially, is a 'prick' and the dramatist a 'cunt', then the
philosopher is a 'superprick' and the poet a 'supercunt'.
30. If the novelist
is nonconformistic and the dramatist, by contrast, humanistic, then the
philosopher is transcendentalistic and the poet, by contrast, fundamentalistic.
31. Despite the late
twentieth-century collapse of so-called Communism in Eastern Europe, Marxism
remains, in some degree, a valid touchstone for future progress towards a
classless millennium.
32. The so-called
Communism, for example, of Eastern Europe was really quasi-fascist, and thus
hardly Communism by Marxist criteria!
33. True Communism,
by which is meant Social Transcendentalism, has yet to come about; but when it
does, it will be infinitely superior to the quasi-fascist tradition of false
Communism.
34. Unlike false
Communism, which was allegedly scientific, true Communism will be religious,
and thus the inevitable precondition of millennial salvation.
35. Thus true
Communism will stem from real Socialism, as Social Democracy is superseded by
Social Theocracy.
36. Where Socialism
is republican, Democratic Socialism is parliamentary, and thus an accommodation
of Socialism to Capital Democracy.
37. Democratic
Socialism is the 'socialism' of a proletariat who are less affiliated to the
World than to the Purgatorial Overworld, so to speak, of Parliamentary
Democracy.
38. Such a
proletariat are necessarily Protestant and industrial/urban, aligned with the
Protestant bourgeoisie against the World and its Catholic humanism.
39. The struggle for
genuine Socialism follows from a sort of Catholic premise; for only Catholic
peoples are sufficiently of the World to be in favour of bureaucratic as
opposed to democratic Socialism.
40. Yet Socialism is
a 'sin' from which the People must be delivered, if they are to experience the
spiritual salvation of true Communism.
41. Such deliverance
can only happen democratically, with the express consent of the People
themselves.
42. For to be delivered
from 'sins of the World' is to enter into the heavenly Beyond, with the
transvaluated criteria that such an entry presupposes.
43. Only a deluded
fool would imagine that, in any ultimate sense, the heavenly Beyond comes after
death. In reality, it comes within life
beyond the World, since it is an ultimate social system and not an imaginary
posthumous realm.
44. Yet it is an
afterlife to the extent that it implies a type of life, necessarily eternal,
beyond life as we know it in the World, as it is today and has been for several
centuries.
45. The failure of
Liberalism is its tolerance of evil.
46. Liberalism sits
on the fence between the Devil and God, content to remain in an amoral position
which enables it to have 'the best of both worlds'.
47. Not to go
against the Devil to the extent that one has sided with God, but to be worldly
or, more specifically, purgatorial - such is the liberal 'ideal'.
48. He who is
against the Devil cannot be for Liberalism, with its hypocritical tolerance of
evil.
49. The Liberal is a
morally weak creature who, because of his acquiescence in evil, does no real
good.
50. When Social
Theocracy, the ideology of God, comes democratically to pass, both Liberalism
and Fascism will be cast down upon the 'rubbish heap of history'.
51. Most Western
countries are liberal and republican, capitalist and socialist, in different
degrees.
52. Countries
balanced between Liberalism and Republicanism are effectively heterosexual.
53. Countries biased
on the side of Liberalism are effectively homosexual.
54. Countries biased
on the side of Republicanism are effectively lesbian.
55. A country biased
on the side of Republicanism, like Eire, has a greater chance of achieving
Social Theocracy than one balanced, like France, between Liberalism and
Republicanism.
56. A country biased
on the side of Liberalism, like Britain, has virtually no chance of achieving
Social Theocracy.
57. Ultimately,
Social Theocracy can only be achieved through the Second Coming, who would not
waste his time on countries with an overly liberal, or parliamentary, bias.
58. A country must,
like Eire, be largely of the World and effectively humanist before it can hope
to qualify for Social Theocratic salvation.
59. Provided that Liberalism
and/or Republicanism are not the ruling trends, there is a fair chance that
Humanism will be free enough to democratically opt for Transcendentalism, and
thus salvation from the World.
60. For the World
may be feminine, and phenomenally subjective, but the Social Theocratic Beyond
is divine, and hence noumenally subjective - focused, through spirit, on air
rather than, through will, on the flesh.
61. To abandon the
feminine 'fleshpot' of the Holy Will of the World for the divine 'airhead' of
the Holy Spirit of Heaven - such is the nature of salvation.
62. No man, or
country, attains to salvation (from the World) except through the Second
Coming, who is the bridge to the Beyond.
63. Noumenal
subjectivity (subjectivism) is the absolute introversion of the heavenly.
64. Noumenal
objectivity (objectivism) is the absolute extroversion of the hellish.
65. Phenomenal
objectivity is the relative extroversion of the purgatorial.
66. Phenomenal
subjectivity is the relative introversion of the mundane.
67. The noumenal
subjectivity (wind) of Jazz contrasts with the noumenal objectivity (singing)
of Soul.
68. The phenomenal
subjectivity (dance) of Pop contrasts with the phenomenal objectivity
(instrument-based song) of Rock.
69. Jazz, being
noumenally subjective, is divine, whereas Soul, being noumenally objective, is
diabolic.
70. Pop, being
phenomenally subjective, is feminine, whereas Rock, being phenomenally
objective, is masculine.
71. Since salvation
is from the World to Heaven, one might speak of the salvation of Pop by Jazz,
or of phenomenal subjectivity (dance) by noumenal subjectivity (wind).
72. Since damnation
is from Purgatory to Hell, one might speak of the damnation of Rock by Soul, or
of phenomenal objectivity (instrument-based song) by noumenal objectivity (free
singing).
73. The purgatorial
'First' shall be hellishly Last, and the mundane 'Last' shall be heavenly
First.
74. Jazz is the
music of spirit, and could alternatively be termed spirit music.
75. Soul is indeed
the music of soul, and is rightly termed soul music.
76. Rock is the
music of intellect, and could alternatively be termed intellect music.
77. Pop is the music
of will, and could alternatively be termed will music.
78. Broadly, Jazz,
Soul, Rock, and Pop are all modern, and therefore electric, forms of music.
79. Classical music
stands to popular music as a kind of bourgeois omega to a proletarian alpha,
the former acoustic and the latter electric.
80. Classical music is
'contemporary' only in the sense that Christian bourgeois criteria co-exist
with and often overlap the more-or-less heathen proletarian criteria of the
modern age.
81. In this sense, a
more naturalistic omega co-exists with an artificial alpha, the essence of
which is cruder, albeit more evolved.
82. Suits and ties
co-exist, on the above basis, with jeans and T-shirts.
83. Books co-exist,
on the above basis, with films.
84. Classical music
co-exists, on the above basis, with popular music.
85. The concerto is
the classical equivalent of Jazz, that most idealistic of the popular art
forms.
86. Opera is the
classical equivalent of Soul, that most naturalistic of the popular art forms.
87. The symphony is
the classical equivalent of Rock, that most materialistic of the popular art
forms.
88. Ballet is the
classical equivalent of Pop, that most realistic of the popular art forms.
89. The fulcrum of
classical music, which is a bourgeois art form, is the symphony.
90. The fulcrum of
popular music, which is a proletarian art form, is Pop.
91. Classical music
is the civilized music of a materialistic class, the middle class.
92. Popular music is
the barbarous music of a realistic class, the working class.
93. The future lies not
in the barbarism of working-class music, but in the culture of classless music.
94. Classless music
will be like Jazz, but more electronic.
95. To distinguish,
on an alpha/omega basis, between the 'republicanism' of Hard Pop and the
'humanism' of Soft Pop.
96. Similarly, to
distinguish between the 'parliamentarianism' of Hard Rock and the
'nonconformism' of Soft Rock.
97. Likewise, to
distinguish between the 'fascism' of Hard Soul and the 'fundamentalism' of Soft
Soul.
98. To distinguish,
finally, between the 'communism' of Hard Jazz and the 'transcendentalism' of
Soft Jazz.
99. Hard music
differs from soft music by being both more reactive and aggressive.
100. Soft music
differs from hard music by being both more attractive and passive.
101. Where hard music
is generally reactive and aggressive, soft music, by contrast, is generally
attractive and passive (gentle).
102. Not only Hard
Rock, but Hard Pop, Hard Soul, and Hard Jazz are all more aggressive than their
soft-pole counterparts.
103. Most people
alternate between hard and soft options, as between particles and wavicles, the
former secular and the latter religious.
104. Some people are
more biased towards hard music, others towards soft music, but they tend to be
a minority overall.
105. A hard-line
Communist, whose musical equivalence is Hard Jazz, may be identified with a
leading-class status.
106. A hard-line
Transcendentalist, whose musical equivalence is Soft Jazz, may be identified
with a classless status.
107. Hence a
leading-class/classless distinction between the alpha and omega of the Jazz
spectrum.
108. A hard-line
Fascist, whose musical equivalence is Hard Soul, may be identified with a
ruling-class status.
109. A hard-line
Fundamentalist, whose musical equivalence is Soft Soul, may be identified with
an upper-class status.
110. Hence a
ruling-class/upper-class distinction between the alpha and omega of the Soul
spectrum.
111. A hard-line
Parliamentarian, whose musical equivalence is Hard Rock, may be identified with
a governmental and/or managerial class status.
112. A hard-line
Nonconformist, whose musical equivalence is Soft Rock, may be identified with a
middle-class status.
113. Hence a
governing-class/middle-class distinction between the alpha and omega of the
Rock spectrum.
114. A hard-line
Republican, whose musical equivalence is Hard Pop, may be identified with a
working-class status.
115. A hard-line
Humanist, whose musical equivalence is Soft Pop, may be identified with a
lower-class status.
116. Hence a working-class/lower-class
distinction between the alpha and omega of the Pop spectrum.
117. The lower class,
including soft-line lower-class people, are the only class that can be saved to
hard-line Transcendentalism, which is classless.
118. This is because
the lower class are of the humanist World (as against the republican World or,
more correctly, Antiworld), and are therefore in a moral position to be saved
by and in the transcendentalist Heaven.
119. Their moral
position is one of wavicle-biased (attractive) phenomenal subjectivity, which
is an effective denial of the will through the Blessed Virgin, and which can
therefore be transcended, via the Second Coming, in the wavicle-biased
(attractive) noumenal subjectivity of the transcendental Beyond.
120. To distinguish
the positively relative morality of denial of the will from the negatively
relative morality of affirmation of the will, thereby effectively
distinguishing Humanism from its republican antithesis.
121. To distinguish
the positively relative immorality of denial of the intellect from the
negatively relative immorality of affirmation of the intellect, thereby
effectively distinguishing Nonconformism from its parliamentary antithesis.
122. To distinguish
the positively absolute immorality of denial of the soul from the negatively
absolute immorality of affirmation of the soul, thereby effectively
distinguishing Fundamentalism from its fascist antithesis.
123. To distinguish
the positively absolute morality of denial of the spirit from the negatively
absolute morality of affirmation of the spirit, thereby effectively
distinguishing Transcendentalism from its communist antithesis.
124. Denial of the
will through the Blessed Virgin, as opposed to affirmation of the will through
the Cursed Whore.
125. Denial of the
intellect through Christ, as opposed to affirmation of the intellect through
the Antichrist.
126. Denial of the
soul through the Father, as opposed to affirmation of the soul through the
Antifather (Satan).
127. Denial of the
spirit through the Holy Spirit, as opposed to affirmation of the spirit through
the Antispirit (Jehovah).
128. Flesh is the
human equivalent of earth, the denial of which paves the way to Heaven.
129. Mind is the human
equivalent of water, the denial of which paves the way to Hell.
130. Soul is the human
equivalent of fire, the denial of which is Hell.
131. Spirit is the
human equivalent of light, the denial of which is Heaven.
132. To deny the flesh
is to affirm beauty.
133. To deny the mind is
to affirm goodness.
134. To deny the soul
is to affirm strength.
135. To deny the
spirit is to affirm truth.
136. To affirm the
flesh is to deny beauty, and thus to revel in ugliness.
137. To affirm the
mind is to deny goodness, and thus to revel in evil.
138. To affirm the
soul is to deny strength, and thus to revel in weakness.
139. To affirm the
spirit is to deny truth, and thus to revel in illusion.
140. Ugliness, being
planar (planetary), is of earth.
141. Evil, being
lunar, is of water.
142. Weakness, being
solar, is of fire.
143. Illusion, being
stellar, is of light.
144. Beauty, being
mundane, is of the World.
145. Goodness, being
purgatorial, is of the Overworld.
146. Strength, being
diabolic, is of Hell.
147. Truth, being divine,
is of Heaven.
148. To deny the
alpha, which is apparent, is to affirm the omega, which is essential.
149. To deny light
(spirit) in order to affirm truth (air).
150. To deny fire
(soul) in order to affirm strength (race).
151. To deny water (intellect)
in order to affirm goodness (the Bible).
152. To deny earth
(flesh) in order to affirm beauty (art).
153. Truth is affirmed
through the sublimated spirit of air.
154. Strength is
affirmed through the sublimated soul of blood.
155. Goodness is affirmed
through the sublimated intellect of the Word (New Testament).
156. Beauty is
affirmed through the sublimated flesh of art.
157. To deny the
personal spirit of light (optics) in order to affirm the universal spirit of
air, thereby passing from illusion (the Clear Light of the Void) to truth (the
Holy Spirit of Heaven).
158. To deny the
personal soul of fire (emotions) in order to affirm the universal soul of blood
(race), thereby passing from weakness (the Clear Heat of Time) to strength (the
Holy Soul of Hell).
159. To deny the
personal mind of water (thoughts) in order to affirm the universal mind of the
Bible (New Testament), thereby passing from evil (the Clear Coldness of Volume)
to goodness (the Holy Mind of Purgatory).
160. To deny the
personal will of earth (fleshy sensations) in order to affirm the universal
will of art (paintings), thereby passing from ugliness (the Clear Darkness of
Mass) to beauty (the Holy Will of the World).
161. That which is
universal, on whichever spectrum, is shared by all, and brings people together.
162. That which is
personal, on whichever spectrum, is germane to the person, and tends to drive
people apart.
163. The universal
enhances collectivity/collectivism, whereas the personal enhances individuality/individualism.
164. Whether one's
universality is phenomenal or noumenal, the end result can only be virtuous.
165. Whether one's
personality is phenomenal or noumenal, the consequence can only be vicious.
166. Phenomenal
universality, being positive, is relatively immoral in the context of goodness,
and relatively moral in the context of beauty.
167. Noumenal
universality, being positive, is absolutely immoral in the context of strength,
and absolutely moral in the context of truth.
168. Phenomenal personality,
being negative, is relatively immoral in the context of evil, and relatively
moral in the context of ugliness.
169. Noumenal
personality, being negative, is absolutely immoral in the context of weakness,
and absolutely moral in the context of illusion.
170. Individuality/individualism
is the curse of personality, whereas collectivity/collectivism is the blessing
of universality.
171. The personality
of the Devil, which (being absolutist) is hellish, contrasts absolutely with
the universality of God.
172. The personality
of Man, which (being relativistic) is purgatorial, contrasts relatively with
the universality of Woman.
173. From the
standpoint of subjective universality, objective universality is a damnation - whether
relatively vis-à-vis the phenomenal or absolutely vis-à-vis the noumenal.
174. Denial of the
will (sexuality) through art paves the way for salvation in and through air.
175. Denial of the
mind (intellectuality) through the Bible (New Testament) paves the way for
damnation in and through the blood.
176. The noumenal lies
in wait to take over from phenomenal denial, since the noumenal is absolute,
and hence ultimate.
177. Art has no other
business than to encourage worldly denial, i.e. denial of the will.
178. That which
encourages the will is not art but anti-art.
179. Traditionally,
the Blessed Virgin is the principal symbol of worldly denial, since beauty
makes for the finest art.
180. From the male
standpoint, the Crucifixion remains the most enduring symbol of worldly denial
- a denial of the will through love.
181. Christian love
paves the way for the Resurrection, and hence the attainment of transcendent
joy through the affirmation of universal spirit, or air.
182. Until a man has
died to the flesh, he cannot be reborn into the eternity of the universal self
and thereby become the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
183. The lightness of
air can only deliver that man from the heaviness of the flesh who has already
rejected the World and effectively become an artist.
184. For the artist is
the quintessential embodiment of worldly rejection, who both rejects and is
rejected by the World.
185. Those who are of
the World, and hence the flesh, cannot be saved; for they are too sunk in heaviness
to appreciate art.
186. It is not the
Blessed Virgin but the Cursed Whore who presides over the wilful affirmations
of these sinners, the ugliness of whose anti-art is rooted in pain.
187. Traditionally,
the Christian West has known two Heavens and two Hells - the Heaven and Hell of
the Old Testament on the one hand, and the Heaven and Hell of the New Testament
on the other hand.
188. The Heaven of the
Old Testament is the cosmic abode of Jehovah, whereas its Hell is the solar
(fiery) abode of Satan.
189. The Heaven of the
New Testament is the airy abode of Christ, whereas its Hell is effectively the
fleshy abode of the Magdalene.
190. Hence Western
civilization was torn between the cosmic dichotomy of Old-Testament Judaism and
its own rather more worldly dichotomy of New-Testament Christianity -
superimposing upon oriental tradition an occidental modernism which, for most
Western people, is still the touchstone of damnation and salvation.
191. The ultimate
Christian Hell is of course the fiery core of the Earth which, as the centre of
earthly gravity, contrasts with the airy lightness of the stratosphere.
192. Between the
Christian absolutes of fiery Hell and airy Heaven, Western man runs his diurnal
course, torn rather more between the breath of 'Heaven on Earth' and the flesh
(sex) of 'Hell on Earth'.
193. The Romantic may
affirm the fleshy 'Hell on Earth' of sexual will, but the Classicist denies it
in the name of beauty, and hence art.
194. Classicism
remains on the aesthetic surface, whereas Romanticism delves beneath the
surface in pursuit of fiery depths, thereby disinterring Hell.
195. The Romanticist,
who is an anti-artist, can never be saved; for he is sunk too deeply in the
heaviness of fleshy and/or fiery pain to have any inkling of worldly rejection.
196. The Romanticist
is a republican phenomenon whose hellish activity contrasts with the will-less
passivity of the (Catholic) Classicist.
197. Both Romanticism
and Classicism are New Testament phenomena, with particular reference to the
World.
198. Expressionism and
Impressionism, by contrast, are effectively Old Testament noumena, since they
are rooted in the emotions (heat) and in the spirit (light) respectively.
199. There is thus
something Neo-Oriental or Neo-Judaic about Expressionism and Impressionism,
albeit relative to the decadence of Western civilization.
200. The Expressionist
is aligned with the Romanticist, and the Impressionist with the Classicist.
201. In eclipsing
Romanticism and Classicism, Expressionism and Impressionism paved the way for
the eclipse of Western civilization by universal barbarism, viz. light art.
202. The modern age is
presided over not by the god of worldly or, indeed, any other denial, but by
the devil of worldly, and other, affirmations.
203. Everywhere the
alpha of immoral folly unashamedly proclaims itself, to the detriment of moral
wisdom!
204. There are those
for whom denial of the will through art is an end-in-itself, without reference
to the possibility of divine salvation.
205. Generally, those
for whom worldly denial is an end-in-itself are artists and hard-line
Catholics, for whom worldly salvation is sufficient.
206. Feudalism,
Capitalism, and Socialism are simply different class approaches to the same
goal - namely the pursuit of materialism, and hence power.
207. Feudalism is the
naturalistic approach to power of the ruling class.
208. Capitalism is the
materialistic approach to power of the middle class.
209. Socialism is the
realistic approach to power of the working class.
210. Feudalism,
Capitalism, and Socialism can never provide a solution to the problem of power,
but only perpetuate it according to different class interests.
211. The only way that
power will ever be overcome is through the rejection of class in and by a
classless society whose economic base is communist (with regard to Centre
trusteeship).
212. Such a base
cannot be maintained without due reference to a revolutionary religious or moral
superstructure which it is intended to serve.
213. Such a
superstructure can only be transcendentalist, concerned with the advancement of
the Holy Spirit of Heaven through spiritual self-denial.
214. The less people
own materially, the more eligible they will be for divine salvation in and
through the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
215. State Socialism,
or Bolshevism/Stalinism, is a quasi-fascist approach to Socialism, and has
little or nothing to do with Marx.
216. State Socialism
is simply the proletarian equivalent of State Capitalism, or Fascism, as
reflecting the economic dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.
217. Such a
dictatorship may well be in alliance with State Feudalism, the neo-royalist
Fascism of the aristocracy, which was the more genuine mode of Fascism in the
twentieth century.
218. State tyranny was
the twentieth-century equivalent of monarchic tyranny, or unbridled Royalism,
and it took the quasi-fascist form of State Socialism (Bolshevism), the
pseudo-fascist form of State Capitalism (Nazism), and the genuinely fascist
form of State Feudalism (Neo-Royalism).
219. Whether
dictatorship be of the aristocracy, the bourgeoisie, or the proletariat, State
tyranny is its inevitable corollary.
220. It is not enough
to overcome tyranny; ultimately the State itself must be (democratically)
overcome in the interests of an expansion of the Church towards the absolutist
salvation of the (Social Theocratic) 'Kingdom of Heaven'.
221. The least
objectionable form of the State is a People's Republic, because that is the
only State which is subjectively of the World.
222. Both the
bourgeois (parliamentary) and aristocratic (royalist) forms of the State are
objective, and therefore ranged against the World from contrary standpoints -
the standpoints, respectively, of Purgatory and Hell.
223. The tyrannical
forms of the State are all, in their different ways, fiery (fundamentalist)
manifestations of Hell on Earth.
224. Not until the
Church triumphs, through the Social Theocratic ideology of the Second Coming,
over the State ... will the airy (transcendentalist) manifestation of Heaven on
Earth finally come to pass.
225. Such a Heaven,
necessarily communist, will be at the furthest possible ideological remove from
the fascist hells of State tyranny.
226. Where the fascist
State is diabolical in its noumenal objectivity, the communist Church, or
Centre, will be divine in its noumenal subjectivity.
227. Thus true
Communism (Centrism, pronounced Center-ism) has nothing whatsoever to do with
either the false (alpha) Communism of Marx (a sort of Neo-Jehovahesque
idealism) or the quasi-fascist State Socialism of Lenin, Stalin, et al, but is beyond the State in what I
have termed a Social Theocratic Centre.
228. True Communism is
the economic support, germane to a Christ-like sacrifice on the part of the
Second Coming of bearing 'sins of the World', for the religious development of
Transcendentalism.
229. Such a sacrifice
would amount to an acceptance of economic, judicial, and political
sovereignties by the Second Coming in the interests of the People's freedom
from such 'sins of the (republican) World'.
230. One could speak
of a deal being struck between the People and the Second Coming whereby the
former receive religious sovereignty from the latter (in the event of their
voting for it, following his official recognition as Messiah), who agrees to
take their 'worldly sins' upon his shoulders in their own moral interests.
231. Thus the Second
Coming offers the People the opportunity of deliverance from 'worldly sins'
through the agency of religious sovereignty - the ultimate sovereignty in the
evolution of sovereignties from secular to divine levels, and no small aspect
of Messianic credibility!
232. Without such an
ultimate sovereignty the People not only remain enslaved to their own 'worldly
sins' within the republican contexts, but remain worshipfully subject to the
more authoritarian aspects of ecclesiastical tradition, including subjection to
the Father.
233. It could be said
that religious sovereignty confers the 'right' to spiritual self-determination
within the institutional framework of a Social Theocratic Centre.
234. With religious
sovereignty, the 'Kingdom of Heaven' literally comes to pass, and the People
accordingly gain the right to become, officially and eternally, the Holy Spirit
of Heaven.
235. The Holy Spirit
of Heaven contrasts absolutely with the Clear Light of the Void, and is thus at
the farthest possible remove from cosmic mysticism.
236. There is nothing
mysterious about the Holy Spirit of Heaven, which is consciousness of the
(lightness of) air.
237. God the Holy
Spirit of Heaven is thus a composite of two factors - the factor of
consciousness on the one hand, and the factor of the air of which it is internally
conscious on the other.
238. God the Holy
Spirit of Heaven is neither consciousness nor air, but internal consciousness
of the air.
239. Hence God, in any
ultimate sense, is dependent on the connection of consciousness with air, and is
only possible on the basis that air is being consciously inhaled, thereby
becoming heavenly.
240. Air is not Heaven
by itself, but only in relation to its conscious inhalation by a consciousness
focused, at the 'crown centre', on the air that is being inhaled.
241. Similarly,
consciousness is not holy spirit by itself, but only in relation to the air of
which it is internally conscious.
242. Such holy spirit
contrasts with unholy, or profane, spirit, which is rooted in the Clear Light
of the Void and enters human consciousness in the form of light energy.
243. A consciousness
given over to optical appreciation of phenomena exists more in terms of profane
spirit than of holy spirit.
244. That man has not
died to the spirit who is overly curious in regard to the phenomenal world.
245. To die to the
spirit in order to be reborn into the Holy Spirit, substituting the inner
noumenal for the outer phenomenal as, transvaluated, one's consciousness
becomes focused on the lightness of air.
246. To live in the
spirit is to suffer the curse of Original Sin which, by making the phenomenal
world a focus of (optical) consciousness, perpetuates the World.
247. The World, being
phenomenal, is merely temporal, and accordingly phenomenal life is subject to
death.
248. Only by rejecting
the World, and hence the Original Sin which perpetuates it, can man live the
Eternal Life of the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
249. By contrast to
Original Sin, such Eternal Life is an Ultimate Grace, for it leads not to
suffering, but to bliss.
250. The bliss of
being at one with the universal self of the air is the bliss of salvation in
and through the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
251. What began in the
light will end in the air, whether this air be natural or, more probably,
supernatural, and hence chemically manufactured.
252. Consciousness is
a slave to perceptions when heathen, a slave to conceptions when Christian, and
free from both perceptions and conceptions when transcendent, and hence purely
receptive of the air.
253. Transcendental consciousness,
stretching beyond things and words, knows nothing but the bliss of its own joy
from being at one with the lightness of air.
254. Whatever holds
men back from experiencing this ultimate consciousness is damnable, and
deserves to perish, whether gradually or presently.
255. Only a Liberal
would have God share the world with the Devil, Man, and Woman for ever.
256. The will of the
Second Coming is to bring the World to God the Holy Spirit of Heaven by saving
those who can be saved from the Devil, Man, and Woman.
257. To be saved from
the Devil of upper-class Fundamentalism, from the Man of middle-class
Nonconformism, and from the Woman of lower-class Humanism for the God of
classless Transcendentalism.
258. To be saved from
the Devil of upper-class poetry, from the Man of middle-class fiction, and from
the Woman of lower-class drama for the God of classless philosophy.
259. To be saved from
the Devil of upper-class strength, from the Man of middle-class goodness, and
from the Woman of lower-class beauty for the God of classless truth.
260. To be saved from
the Father of upper-class time, from the Son of middle-class volume, and from
the Mother of lower-class mass for the Holy Spirit of classless space.
261. To be saved from
the Devil of upper-class fire, from the Man of middle-class water, and from the
Woman of lower-class earth for the God of classless air.
262. To be saved from
the naturalism of upper-class soul, from the materialism of middle-class
intellect, and from the realism of lower-class will for the idealism of
classless spirit.
263. To be saved from
the naturalism of upper-class science, from the materialism of middle-class
politics, and from the realism of lower-class economics for the idealism of
classless religion.
264. To be saved from
the authoritarianism of upper-class autocracy, from the parliamentarianism of
middle-class democracy, and from the republicanism of lower-class bureaucracy
for the totalitarianism of classless theocracy.
265. That man who eats
but doesn't defecate soon becomes physically constipated. Likewise, he who reads but doesn't write soon
becomes mentally constipated.
266. To write is
effectively to excrete one's thoughts, which would otherwise pile up and lead
to mental constipation.
267. Writing is of no
value until it has been recycled in book and/or disc format (published) and
made available to be read for mental profit.
268. Sculpture is the
most realistic (worldly) of the Arts, whose basis is the will (earth).
269. Literature is the
most materialistic (purgatorial) of the Arts, whose basis is the intellect
(water).
270. Art is the most
naturalistic (hellish) of the Arts, whose basis is the soul (fire).
271. Music is the most
idealistic (heavenly) of the Arts, whose basis is the spirit (air).
272. The eclipse of
literature by art (photography) is a fact of liberal decadence.
273. Literature is
damned to and by art, whether photographic or otherwise.
274. Sculpture is
saved to and by music, whether phonographic or otherwise.
275. To be saved from
the naturalism of upper-class art, from the materialism of middle-class
literature, and from the realism of lower-class sculpture for the idealism of
classless music.
276. The air is
polluted just as much by electronic emissions as by chemical or industrial
ones.
277. Electronic
pollution of the airwaves is simply less conspicuous than the cruder, because
perceptible, forms of pollution, but potentially no less damaging!
278. Sight is the
sense through which the negative spirit of optical consciousness mediates with
the world.
279. Hearing is the
sense through which the negative soul of aural consciousness mediates with the
world.
280. Smell is the
sense through which the positive spirit of nasal consciousness mediates with
the world.
281. Taste is the
sense through which the negative will of dietary consciousness mediates with
the world.
282. Touch is the
sense through which the positive will of tactile consciousness mediates with
the world.
283. Feeling is the
sense through which the positive soul of racial consciousness mediates with the
world.
284. Feeling, the
sixth sense, is of the blood, and contrasts with hearing, its negative
counterpart.
285. Likewise
smelling, the third sense, is of the air, and contrasts with seeing, its negative
counterpart.
286. Similarly,
touching, the fifth sense, is of the flesh, and contrasts with tasting, its
negative counterpart.
287. Thinking is the
sense through which the positive mind of intellectual consciousness mediates
with the world.
288. Talking is the
sense through which the negative mind of social consciousness mediates with the
world.
289. Hence thinking,
effectively a seventh sense, is of the mind, and contrasts with talking, its
negative counterpart.
290. To see, to hear,
to talk, to taste on the one hand, but to smell, to feel, to think, and to
touch on the other - such is the full gamut of sense distinctions.
291. To be saved,
positively, from touch to smell, but damned, positively, from thought to
feeling.
292. To be saved, negatively,
from taste to sight, but damned, negatively, from talk to hearing.
293. The First World
War was effectively the War of the Father (Kaiser Wilhelm II).
294. The Second World
War was effectively the War of the Son (Hitler).
295. Although there is
unlikely to be a Third World War, logic would suggest that, were it to happen,
it would effectively be a War of the Mother and/or the Holy Spirit (the Second
Coming), assuming one could have such a thing.
296. To be saved from
the supernationalism of the Father, the nationalism of the Son, and the
internationalism of the Mother for the supra-nationalism of the Holy Spirit.
297. Just as,
logically, one should think in terms of the Holy Spirit of Heaven (rather than
of just the Holy Spirit or Heaven), so it would be logical to think in terms of
the Father of Hell, the Son of Purgatory, and the Mother of the World.
298. The deceptions of
the flesh contrast, relatively, with the conceptions of the mind.
299. Likewise, the
receptions of the air (breath) contrast, absolutely, with the perceptions of
the spirit.
300. Like the spirit,
the intellect also makes use of the sense of sight, but it does so at a
conceptual remove from the purely perceptual realm of optical curiosity.
301. The intellect's
use of sight resembles the moon, which shines with a borrowed, or indirect,
light, whereas the spirit's use of sight is akin to the sun in its fiery
directness.
302. Intellectuals can
usually be distinguished from spirituals (as we may call those whose use of
sight is primary rather than secondary) by their dependence on spectacles,
which confer an indirect light.
303. Spectacle-wearers
are usually, though not invariably, middle class, the class, par excellence, of the intellect.
304. Logic should allow
for the establishment of a correlation between long-sightedness and perceptual
consciousness on the one hand, and short-sightedness and conceptual
consciousness on the other hand - the former spiritual and the latter
intellectual.
305. A long-sighted
intellectual would strike this thinker (himself distinctly short-sighted) as
being as improbable as a short-sighted spiritual.
306. Just as there are
two ways of being objective, viz. a perceptual and a conceptual, so there are
two ways of being subjective, viz. a perceptual and a conceptual.
307. To contrast the
perceptual extroversion of absolute objective consciousness with the conceptual
introversion of absolute subjective consciousness.
308. To contrast the conceptual
extroversion of relative objective consciousness with the perceptual
introversion of relative subjective consciousness.
309. Absolute
objective consciousness, being perceptual, is of the Devil, whereas absolute
subjective consciousness, being conceptual, is of God.
310. Relative
objective consciousness, being conceptual, is of Man, whereas relative
subjective consciousness, being perceptual, is of Woman.
311. Objective
consciousness, whether perceptual or conceptual, absolute or relative, is free,
whereas subjective consciousness, whether perceptual or conceptual, relative or
absolute, is bound.
312. To contrast the
absolute freedom of perceptual extroversion with the absolute boundness of
conceptual introversion.
313. To contrast the
relative freedom of conceptual extroversion with the relative boundness of
perceptual introversion.
314. Perceptual
extroversion, being objective, is of the free star, whereas conceptual
introversion, being subjective, is of the bound cross.
315. Conceptual extroversion,
being objective, is of the free cross, whereas perceptual introversion, being
subjective, is of the bound star.
316. Considered
objectively, freedom is bad, because objective, and hence diabolic/masculine.
317. The only freedom
that is good is the 'freedom' from objectivity which implies a binding to
subjectivity, and hence to feminine/divine criteria.
318. Hence it is
freedom from Freedom which makes binding to perceptual introversion (the bound
star) or conceptual introversion (the bound cross) possible.
319. Freedom is a
curse of the Western world, which is dominated by the twin objectivities of
perceptual (solar) extroversion and conceptual (lunar) extroversion.
320. Not until Freedom
is overcome will the World be safe for subjective binding, progressing from the
mundane plane of perceptual introversion to the transcendent plane of
conceptual introversion, as from the Blessed Virgin to the Holy Spirit.
321. Freedom is just
another word for Heathen/Protestant anarchy, chaos, tyranny, oppression, etc.,
which dresses itself up as autocracy, democracy, free enterprise, Liberalism,
freedom of the press, free speech, etc.
322. An open, or
objective, society is always run by the Few against the Many, whether the Few
be autocratic (and upper class) or democratic (and middle class).
323. A closed, or
subjective, society can only be run for the Many by the Few, whether the Many
be bureaucratic (and lower class) or theocratic (and classless).
324. All open
societies are conspiracies of upper- and/or middle-class self-interest against
the Many, who are simply 'kept in their place' the better to be exploited.
325. A shepherd is
akin to a sun who utilizes the moon (sheepdog) to keep the world (of sheep) in
their subordinate place.
326. Such an
arrangement is rather akin to an open, or free, society, in which the masses
are governed by an elite of politicians (whether autocratic or democratic),
whose resemblance to both shepherds and sheepdogs is more than superficial.
327. The main
distinction between an autocratic and a democratic society (apart from the fact
that the one is effectively run by shepherds and the other by sheepdogs) is
that whereas the former utilizes soldiers to protect upper-class interests, the
latter utilizes police primarily in the protection of middle-class interests.
328. Soldiers stand to
the police pretty much as the sun to the moon, or Royals to Parliamentarians.
329. Soldiers are
traditionally servants of the upper class, whereas the police are effectively
servants of the middle class.
330. Hence where
soldiers are ideologically extreme right, the police are ideologically moderate
right.
331. The police are
only extreme right in the pseudo-fascist context (Nazi) of military police.
332. Thus whereas the
police can have, or be seen to parallel, a Nazi affinity, soldiers are
naturally and more genuinely fascist.
333. 'People's
soldiers' are simply quasi-fascist (Bolshevik) by dint of their adherence to
Marxism-Leninism.
334. Such
quasi-fascist soldiers stand in-between fascist soldiers and pseudo-fascist
military police.
335. Of course,
soldiers can be effectively of the World, but the only soldiers who are
genuinely such tend to be female.
336. Hence a socialist
People's army would be effectively, if not literally, female, in contrast to a
so-called communist People's army.
337. A socialist
People's army, being properly of the World, will be more disposed to
peace-keeping than to war-making, since it is effectively a policing military.
338. The only thing
beyond a socialist People's army is a communist (Social Theocratic) People's
police.
339. Such a police,
necessarily secret, would be duty-bound to protect the People from violent
subversion.
340. It would be unrealistic
to suppose that human society could manage without either military or police
bodies, although the nature of each body will change according to the type of
society in existence.
341. In a civil
society, the military and the police will always keep a low profile, leaving
civilians to get on with their lives according to the nature of the society in
question.
342. This is no less
true of a People's civilian society than of a bourgeois and/or pluralist
society balanced between bourgeois and proletarian interests.
343. Guerrillas and
vigilantes are unofficial manifestations of People's military and police within
a context, necessarily open-society, dominated by upper-class and/or
middle-class powers.
344. To contrast the
Fascism of a public army with the Communism of a secret police.
345. To contrast the
Socialism of a policing military with the Nazism of a military police.
346. To contrast the
Republicanism of a People's militia with the Liberalism of a public police.
347. Broadly, it can be
said that whereas soldiers are of the star, whether absolute or relative,
police are of the cross, whether relative or absolute.
348. Generally, long
hair on women (as on men) affirms the heaviness of the World, and thus
contrasts with the lightness-affirming significance of very short or shaved
hair.
349. Beards are
fundamentalist, and contrast with the transcendentalism of pigtails.
350. Sideboards are
nonconformist, and contrast with the humanism of moustaches.
351. Beards are
absolutely objective in their centrifugal appearance, whereas pigtails are
absolutely subjective in their centripetal essence.
352. Sideboards are
relatively objective in their centrifugal appearance, whereas moustaches are
relatively subjective in their centripetal essence.
353. To be damned from
sideboards to beards, but saved from moustaches to pigtails.
354. Hence it could be
said that whereas there is something extrinsically diabolical about beards,
there is something intrinsically divine about pigtails.
355. Beards that are
trimmed to a point are rather more intrinsically diabolical than extrinsically
so.
356. Ponytails are
less intrinsically divine (like pigtails) than intrinsically mundane.
357. The ponytail is
the salvation of the World (denial of the will), but the pigtail is the
salvation of Heaven (denial of the spirit).
358. The ponytail
contrasts with the pudding-basin hairstyle of World-affirming will.
359. The pigtail
contrasts with the Mohawk hairstyle of space-affirming spirit.
360. Cropped hair is
the 'salvation' of Hell (denial of the soul), but back-combed hair is the
'salvation' of Purgatory (denial of the intellect).
361. Cropped hair
contrasts with the (everywhichway) punk hair of Hell-affirming soul.
362. Back-combed hair contrasts
with the parted hair of Purgatory-affirming intellect.
363. To contrast the
naturalism of frizzy hair with the idealism of straight hair.
364. To contrast the
materialism of curly hair with the realism of wavy hair.
365. In football,
netted posts (the goal) confirm an omega orientation, whereas unnetted posts
confirm an alpha one.
366. To contrast the
subjectivity of netted posts with the objectivity of unnetted posts.
367. Football is
divisible between the subjectivity of Association Football/Gaelic Football
netted posts, and the objectivity of Rugby League/Rugby Union unnetted posts.
368. To contrast the
open (unnetted) posts of Rugby Union/Rugby League with the closed (netted)
posts of Association Football/Gaelic Football.
369. To contrast the
alpha-stemming openness of Rugby Union/Rugby League with the omega-oriented
closedness of Association Football/ Gaelic Football.
370. To perceive an
immoral/moral distinction between Rugby (Union and League) on the one hand
(immoral), and Football (Association and Gaelic) on the other hand (moral) -
the former objective and the latter subjective.
371. Hence whereas
Rugby Union and Rugby League are objective modes of football, Association
Football and Gaelic Football are its subjective modes.
372. It could be said
that whereas Association Football is of the World in its phenomenal
subjectivity, Gaelic Football tends, in its noumenal subjectivity, to intimate
of the transcendental Beyond.
373. To contrast the
phenomenal subjectivity of the Association Football goal, which is limited by
its crossbar, with the noumenal subjectivity of that part of the Gaelic
Football goal which is open, in its vertical posts, to the sky.
374. The Association Football
goal, being phenomenally subjective, has an elemental parallel with earth,
whereas the Gaelic Football goal, being noumenally subjective, has an elemental
parallel with air.
375. Thus whereas
Association Football is essentially a working-class game in its earthiness,
Gaelic Football stretches towards the classless in its elemental affinity with
air.
376. It could be said
that whereas Rugby League is of the nonconformist Overworld in its phenomenal
objectivity, Rugby Union tends, in its noumenal objectivity, towards the
fundamentalist Behind.
377. To contrast the
phenomenal objectivity of Rugby League posts, whose focus of play (tries) is
beneath the bar, with the noumenal objectivity of Rugby Union posts, which tend
to become the focus of play (spot-kicks) above the bar.
378. Rugby League
posts, being phenomenally objective, have an elemental parallel with water
(mud), whereas Rugby Union posts, being noumenally objective, have an elemental
parallel with fire (spot-kicking into the sun).
379. Generally
speaking, Rugby League is more partial to tries than to spot-kicks, on account
of its phenomenally objective bias, whereas Rugby Union is more partial to
spot-kicks than to tries, on account of its noumenally objective bias.
380. Thus whereas Rugby
League is essentially a middle-class game, Rugby Union is comparatively upper
class, favouring the noumenal objectivity of those who esteem fire (the sun)
above water (mud).
381. Generally
speaking, Gaelic Football is more partial to scores above the bar/between the
posts, on account of its noumenally subjective bias, whereas Association
Football, being phenomenally subjective, is limited to scores beneath the
crossbar.
382. To contrast the
noumenal objectivity of Rugby Union with the noumenal subjectivity of Gaelic
Football - the former absolutely immoral (fire) and the latter absolutely moral
(air).
383. To contrast the
phenomenal objectivity of Rugby League with the phenomenal subjectivity of
Association Football - the former relatively immoral (water) and the latter
relatively moral (earth).
384. To contrast the
fundamentalism of upper-class Rugby Union with the transcendentalism of
classless Gaelic Football.
385. To contrast the
nonconformism of middle-class Rugby League with the humanism of lower-class
Association Football.
386. The salvation of
Association Football is in Gaelic Football, the ultimate, because absolute,
kind of football.
387. The damnation of
Rugby League is in Rugby Union, the ultimate, because absolute, kind of rugby.
388. A post-liberal
society, centred in Transcendentalism, would not encourage the playing of Rugby
- neither League nor (especially) Union.
389. A transcendental
society, commensurate with the Social Theocratic 'Kingdom of Heaven', would
maintain a bias for Gaelic Football over Association Football, deeming the
latter symptomatic of worldly sin.
390. It is debatable
whether Association Football would long continue to be played in a
transcendental society, in which earth had been transcended by air, and the Blessed
Virgin by the Holy Spirit.
391. American Football
(so-called) stands to Gaelic Football as alpha to omega, or light to air, on
account of the openness of its posts stemming, on a horizontal bar, from a
single upright confirming a noumenal objectivity or, more correctly,
'subjectivity' (especially when used in conjunction with a stand-off containing
net) which is nevertheless higher than and anterior to the noumenal objectivity
of Rugby Union posts.
392. Hence American
Football is less an upper-class fundamentalist game than a leading-class
transcendentalist one, in which scores above the crossbar confirm an alpha
orientation towards the light rather than, like Rugby Union, into the fire.
393. American Football
is consequently more cosmic than solar in its scoring orientation, although the
bias of play tends to favour earth-affirming 'touch downs' more than
space-affirming spot kicks, thereby suggesting the possibility that it is less
cosmic than worldly, albeit of a hard-line orientation which reflects
republican values.
394. It is not the
Blessed Virgin but the Cursed Whore who is the worldly parallel which leaps to
mind when considering the 'Gridiron' method of scoring points through 'touch
downs'.
395. Compared to
American Football, Association Football is less republican than Anglican in its
ideological orientation, suggesting a compromise between the Son (headed goals)
and the Mother (kicked goals) which is more specifically of the World than,
like Gaelic Football, capable of transcending it towards the Holy Ghost.
396. Did Association
Football not have nets, we would be unable to infer an omega orientation, and
thus the probability of an Anglican parallel, but would have to settle for a
republican parallel, after the fashion of 'Gridiron'.
397. The twentieth
century was, by and large, a light age, a superheathen time dominated by
Anglo-American civilization.
398. The most obvious
historical parallel to the Anglo-American classicism of the twentieth century
would be the Graeco-Roman classicism of pagan antiquity.
399. Just as pagan
civilization was eclipsed by the barbarism of the Dark Ages, so Anglo-American
civilization will be/has been eclipsed by the barbarism of a second Dark Ages.
400. Without the
darkness to eclipse the light, there could be no progress to a Superchristic
civilization focused upon the inner light of the spirit.
401. Just as the
Christian civilization arose from out the barbarism of the Dark Ages, so the
Superchristian civilization of the Social Theocratic future should arise from
out the barbarism of the second Dark Ages.
402. The light of
superheathen civilization is now so deeply entrenched and all-pervasive that
there could be no question of the World evolving towards a Superchristic
civilization without the coming of an intervening darkness, the darkness of a
superbarbarism.
403. Film is a major
facet of the superheathen light which blinds the greater part of mankind to the
possibility of the 'light within'.
404. Until the 'light
without' is largely eclipsed by a second darkness, there can be no possibility
of the inner light, and thus no hope for the Holy Spirit of Heaven thereafter.
405. The inner light
of hallucinogenic enlightenment would pave the way, in Supercatholic fashion,
for the Holy Spirit of Heaven, the ultimate salvation of oneness with oxygen.
406. The superheathen
devotees of the external light may be civilized, but they are no better than
the pagans of classical antiquity.
407. Only that man who
wants to 'go within' is Superchristic, and for him the darkness is not
something to prevent but an historical wedge through which one must pass in
order to grasp the inner light of true civilization.
408. Where the outer
is alpha-stemming and false, the inner is omega-orientated and true.
409. To distinguish
the evil, or negative, civilization rooted in the light from the good, or
positive, civilization centred in the spirit.
410. Likewise to
distinguish between evil barbarism and good barbarism on the basis of a
republican/socialist dichotomy - the former against Christian civilization and
the latter against the superheathen civilization of the Anglo-American West.
411. Hence where evil
barbarism is opposed to good civilization, good barbarism opposes evil
civilization.
412. Just as
Republicanism snuffed out Christian civilization, so superheathen civilization
will be/has been extinguished by Socialism.
413. But Socialism
will pave the way for Communism, which is to say, the Superchristic (Social
Theocratic) civilization of the artificial inner light/spirit in the 'Kingdom
of Heaven' to come.
414. By comparison
with the Social Theocratic 'Kingdom of Heaven' to come, the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a 'Kingdom of Hell', as are all States
rooted in monarchism.
415. For monarchism,
being autocratic, is a thing of the Devil, and the Devil glories in strength.
416. God, by contrast,
glories in truth, and truthful will be the Social Theocratic 'Kingdom of
Heaven' that the Second Coming wishes to establish in the wake of worldly
darkness, viz. Socialism/Feminism.
417. The Second Coming
could not save the British Monarch; for autocracy, rooted in strength (power)
is outside the pale of what can be saved.
418. A rich man/woman
cannot be saved, any more than the Devil could be saved by God ... the Second
Coming.
419. That which is
upper class is absolutely outside the pale of what can be saved.
420. That which is
middle class is relatively outside the pale of what can be saved.
421. That which is
working class is relatively inside the pale of what can be saved.
422. That which is
classless is absolutely inside the pale of what can be saved, being, in truth,
that which is of salvation.
423. The essence of
'God save the King/Queen', the British National Anthem, is not salvation in the
messianic sense (for how can a monarch be saved?), but preservation, long to
reign over his/her subjects.
424. Hence the British
National Anthem is about preservation of the reigning monarch vis-à-vis the
Creator, the cosmic guarantor (Dieu et
mon Droit) of monarchic 'right', rather than the salvation of the reigning
monarch, whichever monarch that may happen to be, vis-à-vis the Second Coming.
425. Christ said
something to the effect that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye
of a needle than for a rich man to enter the 'Kingdom of Heaven', and this
applies just as much to royal rich men as to any other category of the rich.
426. A rich man would
have to abandon power and wealth before he could hope to be saved by the Second
Coming. Yet, even then, there would be
no guarantee of salvation for him.
427. God the Second
Coming is prepared to save worldly sinners, i.e. sinners of the World, but this
should not be misconstrued as applying to sinners against the World, whether
lunar (and relative) or solar (and absolute).
428. For sinners
against the World, there can be only damnation, the damnation, at the very
least, of being refused entry into and/or kicked out of the 'Kingdom of
Heaven'.
429. If Gaelic Football
is superior to Association Football because it goes beyond the World in terms
of its upper posts being open to the sky, then so must Gaelic be superior to
English in the degree to which it transcends the World.
430. When and where
people cannot 'speak their mind' and write freely, there is invariably some
anti-worldly and/or anti-heavenly tyranny which binds them to lies.
431. To be bound to
lies is to both deny and be denied the truth.
432. Poetry and
fiction are the two main literary lies which bind men to falsity, and thus
prevent their realization of the truth.
433. Ultimately, truth
can only be pursued and captured through philosophy; though it helps if one has
experienced the beauty of drama and opted, thereafter, to deny the will.
434. Denial of the
will is only possible, ultimately, through the artificial beauty of art, not
through natural beauty, which rather encourages it towards propagation.
435. It is by
contemplating the artificial beauty of art that Man is enabled to transcend the
natural will and acquire an intimation, thereby, of heavenly salvation.
436. But transcendence
of the will through art is still a long way short of heavenly salvation, given
its worldly limitations.
437. He who
contemplates the artificial beauty of art sublimates the will along the mundane
lines of the universality of the World.
438. Such
universality, while it may make for a Catholic Heaven, or salvation, is still
at a considerable remove from the universality of Heaven, which is the airy
goal of all moral striving.
439. Broadly,
Schopenhauer was a much wiser philosopher than Nietzsche, whose power-affirming
philistinism bordered on the obscene.
440. Nietzsche was
really the antithesis of a philosopher, a sort of poetic 'wolf in sheep's
[philosophical] clothing' who tore morality to shreds in his insane hatred of
Christianity.
441. Nietzsche's
hatred of Schopenhauer was no less perverse than his hatred of morality, and
stemmed from a similar source.
442. Schopenhauer
taught denial of the will, and Nietzsche taught affirmation of the spirit - the
one was wise after a Catholic fashion and the other foolishly fundamentalist.
443. By and large, the
twentieth century followed Nietzsche rather than Schopenhauer, with morally
catastrophic results (Fascism).
444. Compared to
Schopenhauer, Nietzsche was if not overly barbarous, then certainly less than
truly civilized!
445. Barbarism rides
out on the triumph of the will and perishes with its denial.
446. Civilization is
born when barbarism dies, and it affirms not nature but art, which is
artificial.
447. Just as nature is
the essence of barbarism, so culture is the essence of civilization; for
culture can only develop where nature is not.
448. The cultivated
barbarian tames and cultivates nature, but is unable to transcend it through
culture.
449. Without
civilization there can be no culture, and thus no art, but only the natural
wilfulness of barbarism.
450. One can be
civilized on a number of levels, but the highest civilization of all is that
which denies the spirit and thus makes possible the art of self-cultivation
through meditation.
451. Such
self-cultivation - which is not to be identified with the personal spiritual
self - brings forward the Holy Spirit of Heaven in the ultimate culture - one transcending
the World, and hence all art.
452. Not only
aesthetic culture, but both ethical and ethnic culture are also transcended by
the theistic culture of the 'Kingdom of Heaven', wherein culture obtains to its
apotheosis.
453. Whereas aesthetic
culture affirms beauty through art, theistic culture affirms truth through air.
454. Where ethical
culture affirms goodness through the prayer book, ethnic culture affirms
strength through race.
455. Compared to aesthetic
culture, which is of the World, ethical culture is of Purgatory.
456. Compared to
theistic culture, which is of Heaven, ethnic culture is of Hell.
457. The aesthetic
culture of the Mother contrasts with the ethical culture of the Son, as Humanism
with Nonconformism.
458. The ethnic
culture of the Father contrasts with the theistic culture of the Holy Spirit,
as Fundamentalism with Transcendentalism.
459. To contrast the
phenomenal subjectivity of aesthetic culture with the phenomenal objectivity of
ethical culture.
460. To contrast the
noumenal objectivity of ethnic culture with the noumenal subjectivity of
theistic culture.
461. Aesthetic
culture, being of the Mother, is mundane, whereas ethical culture, being of the
Son, is purgatorial.
462. Ethnic culture,
being of the Father, is hellish, whereas theistic culture, being of the Holy
Spirit, is heavenly.
463. He who creates
God the Holy Spirit of Heaven by bringing his consciousness into focus with the
air he breathes is beyond belief in a Creator God, such as Jehovah or the Clear
Light of the Void.
464. God as Creator of
the Universe is not only the most primitive and primal concept of God; it is
the most false, because alpha rather than omega.
465. To regard God
from a cosmic viewpoint as Creator of the Universe, is to take what might be
termed a scientist's view of religion, which, because it is rooted in the given
rather than the becoming, is the most spurious of all religious affiliations.
466. One has not begun
to live religion until one has turned one's back on the barbarism of cosmic
Godhead and thereby denied the spirit of creation!
467. Denial of the
Clear Light of the Void is a prerequisite of theistic culture in the Holy
Spirit of Heaven.
468. It could be said
of acoustic music that it is a neutron equivalence vis-à-vis the electron
equivalence of electric music.
469. Thus it could
broadly be said that acoustic music is bourgeois and masculine, whereas
electric music is proletarian and feminine.
470. This would not apply,
however, to Jazz, which, when acoustic and traditional, is rather more of a
proton than neutron equivalence, given its intensive rhythms and centrifugal
wind.
471. Jazz would
therefore stand to, say, classical acoustic music as the sun to the moon, or
protons to neutrons.
472. Thus it could be
argued that the relationship of Jazz to Classical is akin to the relationship
of America to Europe, the 'New World' to the 'Old World', with the former
largely diabolic and the latter largely masculine, e.g. solar and lunar, or
fundamentalist and nonconformist.
473. The eclipse of
Classical by Jazz is equivalent to the eclipse of the 'Old World' by the 'New
World', or neutron Nonconformism by proton Fundamentalism.
474. Hence one could
speak of the damnation of Classical by and through Jazz, with the former
broadly middle class and the latter broadly upper class.
475. To contrast the
Classical Purgatory with the Jazz Hell, or intellectual music with soulful
music, the former cold and the latter hot.
476. If Jazz
corresponds to a musical Hell and Classical to a musical Purgatory, then Pop
(including Rock) must correspond to the World, being a working-class music.
477. Pop music is
largely electric and therefore electron(ic), which makes it phenomenally subjective
(will-based) where Classical is phenomenally objective (intellect-based) and
Jazz noumenally objective (soul-based).
478. Jazz-Rock is a
sort of 'Bolshevik' paradox whereby Rock is advanced from a Jazz perspective,
contrasting with the 'fascism' of Trad Jazz and the 'nazism' of Jazz-Classical.
479. If Rock, as a
form of Pop, is of the World, then the only thing which is beyond it is Folk,
conceived as a classless music with noumenally subjective overtones.
480. Since noumenal
subjectivity correlates with the spirit, it could be said that Folk is the
classless music of a spirit-biased photon equivalence.
481. Hence one would
have an absolute distinction between Jazz and Folk, soul and spirit, with the
former diabolic and the latter divine.
482. By contrast, the
distinction between Classical and Pop would be relative, since intellect and
will are phenomenal, and therefore less extreme than soul and spirit.
483. Hence a
purgatorial/mundane distinction between Classical (including Romantic) and Pop
(including Rock), with Romantic being a mundane approach to Classical and Rock,
by contrast, a purgatorial approach to Pop.
484. Thus it could be
said that whereas Romantic is 'Catholic' Classical, Rock, by contrast, is
'Protestant' Pop, since the one is more instinctual than intellectual, and the
other more intellectual than instinctual.
485. Blues is a folksy
approach to Jazz, whereas Gospel is a jazzy approach to Folk.
486. Broadly, each
type of music is divisible into an alpha and an omega pole on the basis of a
vocal/instrumental dichotomy.
487. Of the four main
kinds of music, viz. Jazz, Pop, Classical, and Folk, Classical is the only
'dead' music, since it is affiliated, through the intellect, with the lunar,
and thus is dependent on scores.
488. Jazz, Pop, and
Folk are 'live' kinds of music which, whether extrinsically or intrinsically,
are independent of scores.
489. Jazz, being
affiliated to the solar, is extrinsically emotional, whereas Folk, with its
stellar affiliation, is intrinsically spiritual.
490. Pop, being
affiliated to the worldly (planar), is intrinsically instinctual.
491. Even though Rock
is a 'Protestant', and therefore purgatorial, approach to Pop, it is still a
working-class form of music.
492. Likewise,
Romantic is still middle class even though it is a 'Catholic', and hence
mundane, approach to Classical.
493. To contrast the
aesthetics of Pop (including Rock) with the ethics of Classical (including
Romantic).
494. To contrast the
ethnicity of Jazz (including the Blues) with the theism of Folk (including
Gospel).
495. Because Folk is
arguably the ultimate music, it is likely that only Folk would be given active
encouragement in the (Social Theocratic) 'Kingdom of Heaven', where noumenal
subjectivity would be the prevailing norm.
496. Where there is
Folk, as in Ireland, there can be very little Jazz, and vice versa.
497. The intrinsic
pitch of Folk contrasts absolutely with the extrinsic rhythms of Jazz.
498. The intrinsic harmonies
of Pop contrast relatively with the extrinsic melodies of Classical.
499. The salvation of
the Pop World in and by the Folk Heaven.
500. The damnation of
the Classical Overworld (purgatorial) in and by the Jazz Hell.
501. God stands behind
Folk as the Devil behind Jazz, Man behind Classical, and Woman behind Pop.
502. The Folk of the
Holy Spirit (God), as opposed to the Jazz of the Father (Devil).
503. The Classical of
the Son (Man), as opposed to the Pop of the Mother (Woman).
504. The older I get,
the more convinced I become that there exists a correlation between soil and
sex, and that natural sexual relations are only possible on the basis of a
harmonious relationship between the two.
505. That man who
lives exiled from his ancestral soil is unlikely to have respectful, or indeed
any, sexual relations with women.
506. When one is
alienated from the soil (if any) on which one lives, the chances of one's
sexuality being unaffected will be correspondingly remote.
507. The soil is not
just a historicity of blood and toil; it is a feminine parallel (Mother Earth)
to woman, and hence the womb.
508. He who does not
respect the soil upon which he lives is unlikely to have much sexual respect
for its women.
509. The frivolous man
who lives exiled from his native soil may be able to 'fuck around' with women,
but the serious man is more likely, scorning homosexuality, to remain celibate.
510. Homosexuality is,
I think, conditioned more by the artificial essence (antinatural) of the urban
environment than by natural proclivities alone.
511. The city, being
an intensely artificial phenomenon, has a lunar, and therefore masculine,
parallel which conduces towards the growth of homosexuality.
512. Viewed
objectively, in connection with its relationship to urban artificiality,
homosexuality is a middle-class sexuality with markedly liberal overtones.
513. Homosexuality
contrasts with lesbianism as Purgatory with the World, or masculinity with
femininity.
514. If homosexuality
is purgatorial and lesbianism mundane, then heterosexuality must signify a
compromise between the two, as though in strict reflection of a
masculine/feminine dualism.
515. Such a dualism
would have its political parallel in a Liberal Republic, as a compromise between
parliamentary and socialist alternatives, the former effectively homosexual and
the latter lesbian.
516. It could also be
said that heterosexuality is analogous to a Classical/Pop or Pop/Classical
compromise, whereby the intellect and the will (of masculine and feminine
genders) seek a sexual accommodation with each other.
517. The only
sexuality beyond the World is the airy sexuality of intercourse with plastic
inflatables, or the use, for sexual gratification, of so-called 'sex dolls'.
518. Inflatable
intercourse, as one might call it, is the ultimate kind of sex, which should
correspond to a spiritual bias, given the not inconsiderable part played by
air.
519. If inflatable
intercourse is the divine mode of sex, then pornography must be the diabolic
mode, the mode associated with the noumenal objectivity of masturbation.
520. Photographic
light is not in itself diabolic, but pornography easily becomes an inducement
to masturbation, particularly in connection with film (the mode of photography
most paralleling fire).
521. Pornographic sex
contrasts with inflatable sex as Jazz with Folk, or the Devil with God.
522. Homosexuality
contrasts with lesbianism as Classical with Pop, or Man with Woman.
523. Because there is a
correlation between environment and sexuality, it should largely be possible to
equate a given type of sexuality with a given environment, whether or not such
an equation invariably bears practical fruit.
524. The town stands
between the village and the city as heterosexuality between lesbianism and
homosexuality.
525. The town is thus
the environment most correlative with a heterosexual compromise between
masculine and feminine extremes, since the town exists, in scale and
environment, between the city and the village.
526. To contrast the
'homosexuality' of city environments with the 'lesbianism' of village
environments, as one would contrast the masculine with the feminine, or
Purgatory with the World.
527. The city is an
intensely artificial and materialistic environment which contrasts with the
naturalism of village life.
528. Compared to the
village, the city is a dead thing, wherein the intellect erects its throne.
529. The town is less
a compromise between city and village than an environment at one remove from
the village which has the (negative) potential to become a city.
530. The town is in
touch with nature, as the Catholic Christ with the Mother, whereas the city is
transcendentally aloof from it in a kind of nonconformist Purgatory.
531. Beyond the
village is the commune, which brings the People to God.
532. Behind the city
is the urban wasteland, which brings the Devil to people.
533. The urban
wasteland is the contemporary abode of Hell for those who inhabit it.
534. The commune is
the contemporary abode of Heaven for those who inhabit it.
535. The garden-city
concept is effectively a Nazi delusion, which seeks to save the city.
536. One can no more
save the city than damn the village.
537. The universality of
the artist contrasts, as the World to Purgatory, with the universality of the
scholar.
538. The universality
of the genius contrasts, as Hell to Heaven, with the universality of the saint.
539. The artist denies
the will through the artificial beauty of art.
540. The scholar
denies the intellect through the artificial goodness of politics.
541. The genius denies
the soul through the artificial strength of science.
542. The saint denies
the spirit through the artificial truth of religion.
543. The genius and
the saint are as antithetical as the Devil and God, whereas the artist and the
scholar are only as antithetical as Woman and
544. The artist-saint
is the paradoxical equivalent of the political-genius.
545. One can no more
save the scholar than damn the artist; the scholar can only be damned and the
artist saved.
546. Salvation for the
artist is in the saint, including the philosopher.
547. Damnation for the
scholar is in the genius, including the inventor.
548. Traditionally,
the artist is a phenomenon of the village and the scholar a phenomenon of the
town, though, these days, the former is more apt to live in a town and the
latter in a city.
549. By contrast, the
saint is a noumenon of the religious commune (monastery) and the genius a
noumenon of the castle (country house).
550. The phenomenal
subjectivity of the artist contrasts relatively with the phenomenal objectivity
of the scholar.
551. The noumenal
subjectivity of the saint contrasts absolutely with the noumenal objectivity of
the genius.
552. Genius is even
more abhorrent to the saint than scholarship to the artist.
553. It is because
they are both subjective that the artist and the saint are feminine/divine
ideals.
554. By contrast, the
scholar and the genius are masculine/diabolic ideals.
555. It could be
argued that whereas the ideal of a nonconformist society will be the scholar,
the ideal of a humanist society, by contrast, will be the artist.
556. Likewise, the
ideal of a fundamentalist society will be the genius, in contrast to the
saintly ideal of a transcendentalist society.
557. The Pop artist
stands in a phenomenally antithetical relationship to the Classical scholar.
558. The Folk saint
stands in a noumenally antithetical relationship to the Jazz genius.
559. Because music is
essentially a heavenly art form, it follows that the most musical kind of music
will be that which most approximates to the divine, viz. pitch, while the least
musical kind of music will be that, by contrast, which most approximates to the
diabolic, viz. rhythm.
560. Since the above
distinction is one between the musical and the unmusical, it could be argued
that whereas Folk is, in its bias towards pitch, an absolutely musical kind of
music, Jazz, in its rhythmic basis (swing), is absolutely unmusical.
561. A similar, albeit
more relative, distinction could be drawn between Classical and Pop - the
former relatively musical in its melodic bias, the latter relatively unmusical
in its bias for harmony.
562. Thus whereas Folk
and Classical are musical kinds of music, the former absolutely and the latter
relatively, Pop and Jazz are comparatively unmusical kinds of music, the former
relatively and the latter absolutely.
563. Put metaphysically,
we are distinguishing between the absolute musicality of pitch (the divine
element in music) and the relative musicality of melody (the masculine element
in music).
564. Likewise, where
Pop and Jazz are concerned, we are distinguishing between the relative
unmusicality, so to speak, of harmony (the feminine element in music) and the
absolute unmusicality of rhythm (the diabolic element in music).
565. Whereas Folk,
Jazz, Classical, and Pop are primary musical art forms, Blues, Soul, Romantic,
and Rock are secondary musical art forms.
566. The primary
musical art forms stand to the secondary ones as the psychological to the
physiological, or as elements to molecules.
567. Hence whereas
Folk, the heavenly kind of music, is of the superconscious, Blues is of the
forebrain.
568. Hence whereas
Jazz, the hellish kind of music, is of the subconscious, Soul is of the
backbrain.
569. Hence whereas
Classical, the purgatorial kind of music, is of the conscious, Romantic is of
the right midbrain.
570. Hence whereas
Pop, the mundane kind of music, is of the unconscious, Rock is of the left
midbrain.
571. Such
distinctions, as between the primary and the secondary, apply equally well to
the alpha or to the omega, particles or wavicles, within any given musical
spectrum.
572. Hence a
particle/wavicle distinction between vocal Folk and instrumental Folk with
regard to the photon elements of the superconscious, but a particle/wavicle
distinction between vocal Blues and instrumental Blues with regard to the
photon molecules of the forebrain.
573. Hence a
particle/wavicle distinction between vocal Jazz and instrumental Jazz with
regard to the proton elements of the subconscious, but a particle/wavicle
distinction between vocal Soul and instrumental Soul with regard to the proton
molecules of the backbrain.
574. Hence a
particle/wavicle distinction between vocal Classical and instrumental Classical
with regard to the neutron elements of the conscious, but a particle/wavicle
distinction between vocal Romantic and instrumental Romantic with regard to the
neutron molecules of the right midbrain.
575. Hence a
particle/wavicle distinction between vocal Pop and instrumental Pop with regard
to the electron elements of the unconscious, but a particle/wavicle distinction
between vocal Rock and instrumental Rock with regard to the electron molecules
of the left midbrain.
576. Folk, being
pitch-orientated, is the music of space, as, from a cruder standpoint, is the
Blues.
577. Jazz, being rhythmic,
is the music of time, as, from a cruder standpoint, is Soul.
578. Classical, being
melodic, is the music of volume, as, from a cruder standpoint, is Romantic.
579. Pop, being
harmonic, is the music of mass, as, from a cruder standpoint, is Rock.
580. Since space can
be either spatial or spaced, alpha or omega, we should distinguish Folk space
from Blues space on the basis of a spaced/spatial dichotomy.
581. Since time can be
either sequential or repetitive, alpha or omega, we should distinguish Jazz
time from Soul time on the basis of a repetitive/sequential dichotomy.
582. Since volume can
be either volumetric or voluminous, alpha or omega, we should distinguish
Classical volume from Romantic volume on the basis of a voluminous/volumetric
dichotomy.
583. Since mass can be
either massed or massive, alpha or omega, we should distinguish Pop mass from
Rock mass on the basis of a massive/massed dichotomy.
584. Vocal Blues is
alpha spatial space, whereas instrumental Blues is alpha-in-the-omega spatial
space.
585. Vocal Folk is
omega-in-the-alpha spaced space, whereas instrumental Folk is omega spaced
space.
586. Vocal Jazz is
alpha sequential time, whereas instrumental Jazz is alpha-in-the-omega
sequential time.
587. Vocal Soul is
omega-in-the-alpha repetitive time, whereas instrumental Soul is omega
repetitive time.
588. Vocal Classical
is alpha volumetric volume, whereas instrumental Classical is
alpha-in-the-omega volumetric volume.
589. Vocal Romantic is
omega-in-the-alpha voluminous volume, whereas instrumental Romantic is omega
voluminous volume.
590. Vocal Rock is
alpha massed mass, whereas instrumental Rock is alpha-in-the-omega massed mass.
591. Vocal Pop is
omega-in-the-alpha massive mass, whereas instrumental Pop is omega massive mass.
592. From the
foregoing maxims, it can be deduced that whereas the physiological parallel
precedes the psychological parallel in the cases of Blues/Folk and Rock/Pop,
the converse happens in the cases of Jazz/Soul and Classical/Romantic.
593. This is because
both Blues/Folk and Rock/Pop appertain to spectra which, being subjective, are
by definition evolutionary, whereas Jazz/Soul and Classical/Romantic appertain
to spectra which, being objective, are by definition devolutionary.
594. Hence where subjective
spectra are concerned, we have an evolution from the physiological to the
psychological, as from molecules to elements.
595. Where objective
spectra are concerned, however, we have devolution from the psychological to
the physiological, as from elements to molecules.
596. Hence the
evolution of the space spectrum from Blues to Folk, as from the forebrain to
the superconscious.
597. Hence, too, the
evolution of the mass spectrum from Rock to Pop, as from the left midbrain to
the unconscious.
598. But the
devolution of the time spectrum from Jazz to Soul, as from the subconscious to
the backbrain.
599. And the
devolution of the volume spectrum from Classical to Romantic, as from the
conscious to the right midbrain.
600. The evolution of
heavenly subjectivity from the spatial space of vocal Blues to the spaced space
of instrumental Folk via the spaced space of vocal Folk and the spatial space
of instrumental Blues.
601. Likewise the
evolution of mundane subjectivity from the massed mass of vocal Rock to the
massive mass of instrumental Pop via the massive mass of vocal Pop and the
massed mass of instrumental Rock.
602. But the
devolution of hellish objectivity from the sequential time of vocal Jazz to the
repetitive time of instrumental Soul via the repetitive time of vocal Soul and
the sequential time of instrumental Jazz.
603. And the
devolution of purgatorial objectivity from the volumetric volume of vocal
Classical to the voluminous volume of instrumental Romantic via the voluminous
volume of vocal Romantic and the volumetric volume of instrumental Classical.
604. From the
molecular photon particles of alpha spatial space to the elemental photon
wavicles of omega spaced space via the elemental photon particles of
omega-in-the-alpha spaced space and the molecular photon wavicles of
alpha-in-the-omega spatial space.
605. From the Clear
Light of the (vocal Blues) Void to the Holy Spirit of (instrumental Folk)
Heaven via the Unholy Spirit of the (vocal Folk) Void and the Unclear Light of
(instrumental Blues) Heaven.
606. Likewise from the
molecular electron particles of alpha massed mass to the elemental electron
wavicles of omega massive mass via the elemental electron particles of
omega-in-the-alpha massive mass and the molecular electron wavicles of
alpha-in-the-omega massed mass.
607. From the Clear
Darkness of (vocal Rock) Mass to the Holy Will of the (instrumental Pop) World
via the Unholy Will of (vocal Pop) Mass and the Unclear Darkness of the (instrumental
Rock) World.
608. But from the
elemental proton particles of alpha sequential time to the molecular proton
wavicles of omega repetitive time via the elemental proton wavicles of
omega-in-the-alpha repetitive time and the molecular proton particles of
alpha-in-the-omega sequential time.
609. As from the Clear
Heat of (vocal Jazz) Time to the Holy Soul of (instrumental Soul) Hell via the
Unholy Soul of (vocal Soul) Time and the Unclear Heat of (instrumental Jazz)
Hell.
610. And from the
elemental neutron particles of alpha volumetric volume to the molecular neutron
wavicles of omega voluminous volume via the elemental neutron wavicles of
omega-in-the-alpha voluminous volume and the molecular neutron particles of
alpha-in-the-omega volumetric volume.
611. From the Clear
Coldness of (vocal Classical) Volume to the Holy Intellect of (instrumental
Romantic) Purgatory via the Unholy Intellect of (vocal Romantic) Volume and the
Unclear Coldness of (instrumental Classical) Purgatory.
612. A heavenly evolution
from molecular photon particles to elemental photon wavicles, as from the
forebrain to the superconscious.
613. Likewise a
mundane evolution from molecular electron particles to elemental electron
wavicles, as from the left midbrain to the unconscious.
614. But a hellish
devolution from elemental proton particles to molecular proton wavicles, as
from the subconscious to the backbrain.
615. And a purgatorial
devolution from elemental neutron particles to molecular neutron wavicles, as
from the conscious to the right midbrain.
616. The devolutionary
objectivity of protons/neutrons vis-à-vis the evolutionary subjectivity of
electrons/photons.
617. The
diabolic/masculine contracts and diverges, while the feminine/divine expands
and converges.
618. The devolutionary
objectivity of time/volume vis-à-vis the evolutionary subjectivity of
mass/space.
619. Volume contracts
into time, whereas mass expands into space.
620. Volume diverges
from mass into the damnation of time, whereas mass, freed from volume,
converges towards space, wherein it is saved.
621. Saved from
massive mass for spaced space, wherein Heaven has its airy throne.
622. The strength of
time diverges from the truth of space.
623. The goodness of
volume diverges from the beauty of mass.
624. The beauty of
mass converges towards the truth of space.
625. The truth of
space is the Holy Spirit of Heaven, which transcends the Holy Will of the
World, as air transcends art.
626. The beauty of art
is the salvation of the World, viz. denial of the will.
627. But the truth of
air is the salvation of Heaven, viz. denial of the spirit.
628. It is in the
truth of air that Heaven is revealed to the spirit that is consciously at one
with it and accordingly holy - the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
629. The man of the
Holy Spirit of Heaven will loathe the upper class, dislike the middle class,
like the working class, and love the classless, who are the 'children of
Heaven'.
630. Art begins where
affirmation of the will leaves off, and ends with the 'Kingdom of Heaven'.
631. There can be no
art in the 'Kingdom of Heaven', which is beyond denial of the will.
632. There can be no
true and final peace which is not that of 'Kingdom Come'.
633. He who uses the Devil
to further peace is deceiving himself and paving the way for war, i.e. Hell on
Earth.
634. Peace that is
true and lasting is not created by armies or weapons, but by the Holy Spirit of
Heaven, which transcends the World.
635. The peace which
is not of God the Holy Spirit of Heaven is false and transient.
636. The Devil may
give the appearance of maintaining the peace, but only God can deliver the
essential peace of eternity.
637. Peace through
strength is a doctrine of fools and evil people, whose pact with the Devil is
the surest guarantee of war.
638. It is not the
Holy Spirit, nor even the Son, whose name is evoked by the false pacifists of
strength, but Almighty God the Father, in whose powerful name they amass arms.
639. If the Father may
be identified with peace through strength (arms), then the Son can be
identified with peace through goodness (diplomacy).
640. Whereas peace
through strength is absolutely false, peace through goodness is relatively
false, the falsity of politics as opposed to science.
641. If the Mother may
be identified with peace through beauty, then the Holy Spirit can be identified
with peace through truth.
642. Whereas peace
through beauty is relatively genuine, peace through truth is absolutely
genuine, the genuineness of religion as opposed to art.
643. The objective man
may proclaim his desire for peace, but only the subjective man will truly
uphold it.
644. Ultimately, peace
can only be advanced and secured on the basis of subjective pacifism.
645. Peace is not
advanced through war; only war advances.
646. Like the State,
war can only wither in and through the people, whose struggles against
oppression are the final form of war.
647. When the People
are free from tyrannous or governmental oppression, then and only then will war
wither to a point where universal peace can reign on the basis of truth.
648. The People cannot
cease to struggle while they are yet enslaved by tyrannous and/or governmental
oppressors whose martial essence prevents the peace which springs from truth.
649. Even the peace
which springs from beauty can be thwarted by strength- and/or
goodness-affirming 'pacifists'.
650. While
superficially appearing peaceful, the essence of all strength- and
goodness-affirming 'pacifists' is, in reality, martial - whether absolutely or,
as in the latter case, relatively.
651. Whereas the
ancient Greeks had gods, who dwelt on Olympus, the modern Americans have
'stars', who dwell in Hollywood.
652. Whereas the
ancient Romans had gladiators, who fought in arenas, the modern Britons have
sportsmen, who compete in stadia.
653. No less than
America is in many respects the modern equivalent of ancient Greece, so Britain
is likewise the modern equivalent of ancient Rome.
654. That society
which is most democratic will be least bureaucratic, while, conversely, the
more bureaucratic the society the less democratic will it be.
655. Similarly, that
society which is most autocratic will be least theocratic, while, conversely,
the more theocratic the society the less autocratic will it be.
656. Just as autocracy
is the damnation of democratic societies, so theocracy is the salvation of
bureaucratic ones.
657. Autocracy is the
Mr Hyde that lies in wait for Dr Jekyll's democracy, a 'Steppenwolfian'
transformation from man to beast (devil).
658. The palace is the
focus of autocracy, no less than the Church the focus of theocracy.
659. Parliament is the
focus of democracy, no less than the town hall the focus of bureaucracy.
660. The monarch is the
symbol of autocracy, no less than the pope the symbol of theocracy.
661. The prime
minister/president is the symbol of democracy, no less than the mayor the
symbol of bureaucracy.
662. From the 'outer
darkness' of the hardback comes the 'outer light' of film.
663. From the 'inner
darkness' of the softback comes the 'inner light' of literature on compact
disc.
664. Whereas the
hardback corresponds to the 'outer darkness' of bad barbarism, the softback, by
comparison, corresponds to the 'inner darkness' of good barbarism.
665. Whereas bad
barbarism is republican and anti-Christian, good barbarism is socialist and
anti-heathen.
666. The hardback is
effectively anterior to film, while the softback is effectively posterior to
it.
667. That which is
effectively anterior to film can be (and often is) damned to it.
668. That which is
effectively posterior to film can be saved to compact disc.
669. The damnation of
the bad barbarism of hardback literature to the bad civilization of film is a
sort of insurrection.
670. The salvation of
the good barbarism of softback literature to the good civilization of CD-Rom
literature is a sort of resurrection.
671. When softbacks
become 'packaged' with CD-Rom options, the resurrection of literature from the
death of 'inner-darkness' barbarism to the eternal life of 'inner-light'
civilization will be manifest.
672. Eventually the
compact disc will completely supersede the softback, as literary Heaven
'eclipses' the World.
673. The unconscious
stands to the conscious as the core of the earth to the moon, or as the
(Western) Devil to the (Western) God.
674. We speak of the
subconscious, the conscious, and the superconscious as though they were
entirely different minds, but, in reality, they are three degrees of
consciousness.
675. The only 'mind'
that stands against consciousness, whether in its subconscious, conscious, or
superconscious manifestations, is the unconscious.
676. It is the
unconscious that dreams and consciousness which apperceives the dream.
677. Sleep puts the
conscious mind to sleep and awakens the unconscious, which is akin to the core
of the earth.
678. Consciousness
becomes subconscious through sleep, and thus the passive witness of dream
activity by the unconscious.
679. Consciousness,
which is the self, is disposed, as subconscious, to witness the dreaming
not-self of the unconscious.
680. There is a
spectrum of self which stretches from the subconscious to the superconscious
via the conscious.
681. There is also, it
could be said, a spectrum of not-self, which stretches from the unconscious in
the backbrain to the unconscious in the forebrain via the unconscious in both
the left and right midbrains.
682. As consciousness
ascends from the subconscious to the superconscious it becomes stronger.
683. As the
unconscious descends from the backbrain to the forebrain via the left and right
midbrains it becomes weaker.
684. The fulcrum of consciousness
is the conscious mind, situated in the right midbrain.
685. The fulcrum of
unconsciousness is the collective unconscious, situated in the left midbrain.
686. The conscious
mind and the collective unconscious constitute a polarity analogous to that
between the moon and the core of the earth.
687. Television is a
realistic mode of artificial unconsciousness which parallels the rather more
naturalistic unconscious of dreams.
688. As a material
entity, television corresponds, in its screen and casing, to the core and crust
of the earth.
689. Similarly,
computers correspond, in their screen and casing, to the core and crust of the
moon.
690. For computers are
materialistic modes of unconsciousness which parallel the rather more
idealistic unconscious of, for example, LSD trips.
691. If the
naturalistic unconscious of dreams exists in the backbrain, then the realistic
unconscious of television corresponds to the left midbrain.
692. If the
materialistic unconscious of computers corresponds to the right midbrain, then
the idealistic unconscious of LSD trips exists in the forebrain.
693. Both dreams and
LSD trips, corresponding to naturalistic and idealistic modes of unconscious
behaviour, are noumenal.
694. Both televisions
and computers, corresponding to realistic and materialistic modes of
unconscious behaviour, are phenomenal.
695. Our relationship
to television is analogous to that of our relationship to dreams.
696. Our relationship
to computers is analogous to that of our relationship to LSD trips.
697. If consciousness
is only subconscious in its relation to dreams, then we may contend that only
in its relation to LSD trips does it become superconscious.
698. One should
distinguish, therefore, between the genuine superconsciousness of consciousness
vis-à-vis LSD trips and the quasi-superconsciousness of consciousness which has
simply suspended thought in the interests of a quasi-meditative purism.
699. Furthermore, one
could distinguish this quasi-superconscious consciousness from what may be
called pseudo-superconsciousness, as when one contemplates holograms in a sort
of 'external trip'.
700. If consciousness
is most itself when aware of external phenomena and given to thought, then it
could be argued that consciousness which is absorbed in fantasies, day-dreams,
and the like is quasi-subconscious.
701. Such
quasi-subconscious consciousness would contrast with the genuine
subconsciousness of consciousness vis-à-vis dreams.
702. Analogous to the
pseudo-superconsciousness of external supernatural visionary experience through
holograms, we could speak of consciousness of apparitions, or external
subnatural visionary experience, as constituting a pseudo-subconsciousness.
703. Consciousness of
thoughts, or words, on computer screens is antithetical to consciousness of
deeds, or actions, on television, and corresponds to consciousness vis-à-vis
thoughts and fantasies respectively.
704. Beyond the
superconscious consciousness of, say, LSD trips stands the supra-conscious
consciousness of the universal self, or air as the focus of meditative
attention.
705. Such a
supra-consciousness is One with the Holy Spirit of Heaven, and contrasts,
absolutely, with what may be called the supra-unconsciousness of the Clear
Light of the Void.
706. Hence where alpha
God is supra-unconscious, omega God is supra-conscious: all the difference
between the creative central star of the Galaxy and the coming
transcendentalism of the ultimate Creation.
707. By contrast to
the central star of the Galaxy, the sun corresponds to noumenal
unconsciousness, the 'Satanic' personal unconscious of absolute Hell.
708. By comparison
with the sun, the core of the earth corresponds to phenomenal unconsciousness,
the collective unconscious of relative Hell.
709. If television
corresponds to the collective unconscious of relative, or worldly, Hell, then
cinema corresponds to the personal unconscious of absolute, or cosmic, Hell.
710. Cinema precedes
television as the 'Fall of Satan' precedes the 'Fall of Man'.
711. Contrasted to
cinema, we shall find the 'Jehovah-like' medium of film slides, which
correspond, in their static translucency, to the supra-unconsciousness of
primal Heaven.
712. Video is a sort
of omega pole to cinema, a more centripetal formatting (through cassettes) of
the personal unconscious.
713. Radio is a sort
of omega pole to television, a more centripetal formatting (through concepts)
of the collective unconscious.
714. Compact disc is a
sort of omega pole to personal computers, a more centripetal formatting
(through laser discs) of the personal conscious.
715. Virtual Reality
is a sort of omega pole to film slides, a more centripetal formatting (through
interiorized space) of universal consciousness.
716. Yet all such
materialistic and technological parallels to the unconscious/conscious, being
phenomenal, are a far cry from the literal, or noumenal, extremes of the
unconscious and conscious which constitute the beginnings and endings of life,
the universe, evolution, etc.
717. The unconscious
is devolutionary, whereas the conscious is evolutionary.
718. The unconscious
devolves from the supra-unconscious, whereas the conscious evolves towards the
supra-conscious.
719. Thus between the
Clear Light of the Void and the Holy Spirit of Heaven are to be found various
degrees and kinds of unconscious devolution and conscious evolution.
720. That which is
unconscious is under the star - whether absolutely or relatively, personally or
collectively.
721. That which is
conscious is on the side of the cross - whether relatively or absolutely,
personally or universally.
722. That which is
unconscious corresponds to the not-self, whether absolutely or relatively,
noumenally or phenomenally.
723. That which is
conscious corresponds to the self - whether relatively or absolutely,
phenomenally or noumenally.
724. As in the
beginning so in the end - the devolution (fall) from the supra-unconscious to
the unconscious (both personal and collective) will be superseded by the
evolution (resurrection) of the conscious (via the superconscious) to the
supra-conscious.
725. Just as the
unconscious can be spoken of as the soul, so the conscious can be regarded as
the spirit.
726. Hence the
unconscious stands to the conscious as soul to spirit.
727. The supra-unconscious
is a sort of oversoul (Emerson), which contrasts with the overspirit, so to
speak, of the supra-conscious.
728. The essence of
the oversoul, or supra-unconscious, is conscience, which is the 'Thou shalt
not' of negative spirit, or light.
729. The essence of
the overspirit, or supra-conscious, is joy, which is the 'Thou art that' of
positive spirit, or air.
730. Just as one must
deny the soul in order to achieve the spirit, so must the spirit be denied,
through the universal self (of air), in order to achieve salvation in and by
the overspirit, viz. the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
731. The rejection of
conscience by the personal unconscious is the curse of the Devil.
732. The personal
unconscious is without conscience and is thus purely, or noumenally, evil.
733. The collective
unconscious is impurely, or phenomenally, evil, being a thing of the World.
734. The conscious is
impurely, or phenomenally, good, being a thing of the Overworld.
735. The
superconscious is purely, or noumenally, good, being of the Beyond.
736. Generally, women
are biased towards the unconscious and men, by contrast, towards the conscious.
737. Hence whereas
women are impurely evil, men are impurely good - a distinction between the
flesh and the mind.
738. Women are not,
with their unconscious dispositions, morally suited to spiritual leadership.
739. Women do not
generally relate to spiritual transcendence of the World, but are of the World
in their fleshy dispositions.
740. A creature of the
World cannot symbolize rejection of the World through Christ (consciousness)
and, ultimately, its transcendence in and by the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
741. Women keep the
World going, while men endeavour, if moral, to reject it as a precondition of
transcendence.
742. Ultimately, men
will have to reject the World totally, if they seriously intend to attain to
the heavenly Beyond.
743. Such a total
rejection may well entail completely artificial methods of propagation coupled
to selective genetics of a kind intended to favour spirit at the expense of
soul.
744. In music, wind
pitch corresponds to the supra-unconscious and vocal pitch to the
supra-conscious.
745. Likewise rhythm
corresponds to the personal unconscious and harmony to the collective
unconscious.
746. By contrast,
melody corresponds to the conscious and instrumental pitch to the
superconscious.
747. Whereas drums are
the instruments, par excellence, of the personal
unconscious, the collective unconscious is best served by guitars and other
such stringed instruments.
748. Whereas keyboard
instruments like the piano are the principal means through which the conscious
seeks musical expression, the superconscious calls for synthesizers, which are
the most pitch-orientated of keyboard instruments.
749. Yet if the
superconscious seeks musical expression through synthesizers, then it seems not
improbable that xylophones, vibraphones, and other percussive keyboards are the
principal means through which the subconscious seeks musical expression.
750. For the subconscious
is the lowest manifestation of the self, and stands at the farthest psychic
remove from the superconscious.
751. Thus from
xylophones to synthesizers via pianos - a range of keyboard instruments
paralleling the ascension of the self from subconscious to superconscious via
conscious manifestations.
752. Beyond the
superconscious, however, is the supra-conscious pitch of pipes, which stand in
an antithetical relationship to wind.
753. Self does not necessarily
lead to supra-self, or divinity, although it is of course necessary to have a
self before its denial becomes possible.
754. Thus it is
necessary, in religious terms, to affirm Christ before the Holy Spirit of
Heaven becomes possible.
755. Traditionally,
Christ has been affirmed in subconscious (Catholic) and conscious (Protestant)
terms, though not, as yet, in terms of the superconscious (Social Theocratic),
such as portend a Second Coming.
756. It is from the
superconscious affirmation of the Second Coming that the supra-conscious
affirmation of the Holy Spirit of Heaven will duly come to pass, as the highest
manifestation of the self embraces, through self-denial, the universal self,
and is accordingly saved.
757. Salvation of the
self from the unconscious paves the way for universal self, and hence the Holy
Spirit of Heaven.
758. The highest
unconscious from which the highest self, of the superconscious, can be saved
... is the forebrain unconscious of hallucinogenic contemplation, viz. LSD
trips.
759. Self does not
exist in a vacuum or void, like the supra-unconscious, but in relation to
unconsciousness of one degree/kind or another.
760. Before the self
can be saved from the unconscious, it must achieve a superconscious pitch
vis-à-vis the synthetic unconscious of forebrain visionary experience.
761. Men are generally
more selfish, because conscious, than women, whose selflessness derives from a
bias towards the unconscious.
762. The collective
unconscious, corresponding to the feminine, is rather more sensational than
emotional, whereas the personal unconscious is primarily emotional, in
accordance with its soulful essence.
763. The
supra-unconscious is spiritually rather than soulfully emotional, which is to
say, given to conscience-based feelings which stand to the cruder emotions of
the personal unconscious as light to fire.
764. The personal
conscious, corresponding to the masculine, is rather more intellectual than
spiritual, whereas the superconscious is primarily spiritual, in accordance
with its visionary essence.
765. The
supra-conscious is transcendentally rather than visionarily spiritual, which is
to say, given to breath-based feelings which stand to the cruder spirituality
of the superconscious (the collective conscious) as air to ice.
766. In air, the
spirit is saved from its icy self for the joyful purity of the heavenly Beyond.
767. A true and
ultimate 'transvaluation' or 'rebirth' is not possible without the utmost
attenuation of the unconscious through evolutionary progress.
768. Such attenuation,
centred in the forebrain, is not only beyond the backbrain but beyond the left
and right midbrains as well.
769. The
supra-conscious is as much beyond good and evil, in regard to the
conscious/unconscious dichotomy, as the supra-unconscious is behind it.
770. The good and evil
dichotomy of the personal conscious/collective unconscious is necessarily
phenomenal, and contrasts with the absolutism of both anterior and posterior
noumenal extremes.
771. If the
supra-unconscious is behind good and evil, then it is neither good nor evil but
negatively divine.
772. If the
supra-conscious is beyond good and evil, then it is neither good nor evil but
positively divine.
773. The negative
divinity of conscience contrasts with the positive divinity of truth.
774. If good and evil
are relative in the phenomenal modes of the personal conscious and collective
unconscious, then it could be argued that only in the noumenal modes of the
personal unconscious and collective conscious (superconscious) are they
absolute.
775. Such an absolute
dichotomy contrasts with the relative dichotomy of phenomenal good and evil, as
the Devil (Satan) and God (the Second Coming) with Man (the Son) and Woman (the
Mother).
776. Absolute good and
evil may flank relative (phenomenal) good and evil, but do not transcend it for
the realms of divinity, which, as we have seen, are either behind or beyond
good and evil.
777. He who is beyond
good and evil, in both its relative and absolute manifestations, is no longer
Man but God ... the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
778. He who is behind
good and evil, in both its absolute and relative manifestations, is not yet Man
but God ... the Clear Light of the Void.
779. The Clear Light of
the Void is no less incapable of joy, than the Holy Spirit of Heaven would be
incapable of woe.
780. That which is
behind good and evil is deaf to truth, whereas that which is beyond good and
evil is blind to illusion.
781. Conscience calls
forth the illusion of light (law), whereas salvation brings forth the truth of
air (Heaven).
782. The lawyer and
the saint stand at opposite poles of the divine spectrum, like the Clear Light
of the Void and the Holy Spirit of Heaven - the one behind good and evil, the
other beyond it.
783. That man who is
beyond good and evil is yet closer to good (the collective conscious) than to
evil (the collective unconscious).
784. That man who is
behind good and evil is yet closer to evil (the personal unconscious) than to
good (the personal conscious).
785. Musically
speaking, the solo wind-instrumentalist, who is behind good and evil, is akin
to the lawyer in his identification with the supra-unconscious.
786. Conversely, the
piper, who is beyond good and evil, is akin to the saint in his identification
with the supra-conscious.
787. In between and
lower than the two divine extremes of solo wind-instrumentalists and solo
pipers come the various grades of singers/instrumentalists and
instrumentalists/synthesists.
788. The man who is
musically saved, and therefore given to piping, can have no truck with wind
instruments, and hence wind compositions.
789. The man who
oscillates between wind and pipes is not saved but torn, in dynamically amoral
fashion, between alpha and omega.
790. Guitar/violin
instrumentality is a sort of barbarous darkness in between the 'outer light' of
wind and the 'inner spirit' of pipes - the former appertaining to bad
civilization, and the latter to good civilization.
791. Alternatively one
could speak of guitar/violin instrumentality as a sort of barbarous darkness
(particle/wavicle respectively) in between the 'outer light/heat' of percussion
and the 'inner heat/light' of synthesizer instrumentality - the former
appertaining to a more devolved phase of bad civilization, and the latter to
good civilization in its inceptive phase.
792. The twentieth
century was, by and large, an age of 'liberal' compromise between a variety of different
instrumental and vocal combinations, which conform to its amoral
permissiveness.
793. Not until the
Last Judgement will such permissiveness be superseded by a moral directive
relating to the (Social Theocratic) 'Kingdom of Heaven'.
794. Whereas the
supra-unconscious, rooted in the negative spirit of what is behind good
and evil (but closer to evil), takes a 'Thou-shalt-not' line in moral
judgements, the supra-conscious, centred in the positive spirit of what is beyond
good and evil (but closer to good), takes a 'Thou-shall' line in regard to
morally desirable objectives.
795. Hence whereas the
Mosaic Law focuses its negative spirit on what is not morally
desirable, the judgements of the Second Coming will focus, through positive
spirit, on what is morally desirable, thereby leading from the front rather
than prohibiting from the rear.
796. It is the
positive spirit of the Second Coming which says: 'You shall do this' if you are
to be saved.
797. The Mosaic
transmutation of the negative spirit of Jehovah, the Judaic Clear Light of the
Void, could only say: 'You shall not do this' if you are to avoid being damned
or, rather, cursed.
798. There is no
salvation in Jehovah or other variations on the Clear Light of the Void, for
the simple reason that salvation is from the World to the Beyond, not from the
World to the Behind.
799. The Behind,
rooted in lawful conscience, is simply a cosmic backdrop to a succession of
falls which, culminating in the World, open out to the possibility, following a
Christian rebirth, of the Beyond, the heavenly redemption of sin.
800. The Beyond offers
man the benefits of joy in relation to the lightness of air, whereas the Behind
could offer nothing more than woe in relation to the speed of light.
801. Further to my theories
of musical parallels to divine alpha and omega, viz. wind and pipes, I should
like to add the two intermediate categories of singing and whistle-playing,
classifying the former as commensurate with omega-in-the-alpha and the latter
as commensurate with alpha-in-the-omega.
802. Hence the
distinction between singing and whistle-playing is less extreme than that
between wind instrumentality and piping.
803. Whereas wind
instrumentality is musically equivalent to the Clear Light of the Void,
singing, by contrast, is musically equivalent to the Unholy Spirit of the Void.
804. And whereas
piping is musically equivalent to the Holy Spirit of Heaven, whistle-playing,
by contrast, is musically equivalent to the Unclear Light of Heaven.
805. What truly distinguishes
alpha from omega in divine musical terms is the fact of a vacuum vis-à-vis the
truth of a plenum.
806. Because alpha is
light and omega spirit, we are therefore distinguishing what passes, as wind, through
a vacuum from what issues, as air, from a plenum.
807. The vacuum is
characterized, in instrumental terms, by wind instruments like the saxophone
and the trumpet, together with tin whistles and harmonicas.
808. The plenum is
characterized, in musical/instrumental terms, by what issues, as air, from
either lungs (singing) or the bag of pipes.
809. Where there is a
tubular vacuum, as in wind instruments, one has a musical parallel with light,
and therefore the alpha.
810. Where there is an
air-filled plenum, as in the bag of pipes and in lungs, one has a musical
parallel with spirit, and therefore the omega.
811. The distinction
between alpha and alpha-in-the-omega, the Clear Light of the Void and the
Unclear Light of Heaven, is between the centrifugal and the centripetal, outer
and inner.
812. Likewise the
distinction between omega-in-the-alpha and omega, the Unholy Spirit of the Void
and the Holy Spirit of Heaven, is between the centrifugal and the centripetal,
outer and inner.
813. Wind instruments,
like saxophones, are centrifugal by comparison with tin whistles and even
harmonicas, and therefore correspond to the outer as opposed to the inner
light.
814. Singing, rooted
in the lungs, is centrifugal by comparison with piping, and therefore corresponds
to the outer as opposed to the inner spirit.
815. Hence from the
outer light of wind instrumentality to the inner spirit of pipes via the outer
spirit of songs and the inner light of whistles/harmonicas.
816. For a
civilization centred in the inner, whether in light or spirit, that which was
outer would be beneath the pale.
817. For a
civilization rooted in the outer, whether in light or spirit, that which was
inner would be beyond the pale.
818. A civilization
centred in the inner is a good civilization.
819. A civilization
rooted in the outer is a bad civilization.
820. Both the outer
light of wind and the inner light of whistles are rooted in the
supra-unconscious.
821. Both the outer spirit
of songs and the inner spirit of pipes are centred in the supra-conscious.
822. If the conscious
is masculine and the unconscious feminine, then the supra-conscious is
supra-masculine and the supra-unconscious supra-feminine.
823. The improvisational
character of much jazzy wind-playing confirms the fundamentalist essence of
Jazz as an art form rooted in the supra-unconscious.
824. To distinguish
the 'spatial' essence of wind/whistle playing from the 'spaced' essence of
singing/piping, as between fundamentalist and transcendentalist approaches to
divinity, the former supra-unconscious and the latter supra-conscious, both
outer and inner.
825. A woman blows her
conscious credibility from the moment she becomes pregnant and enters
motherhood.
826. Motherhood
confirms woman in her femininity, as a creature for whom the unconscious takes
precedence over the conscious.
827. There are so many
aspects of motherhood which are of the unconscious, from gestation to
lactation, that active mothers can only be regarded as conscious in a
subordinate and secondary way.
828. A woman who
wishes to affirm the conscious self over the unconscious not-self has to
disavow motherhood and either remain celibate or take every precaution against
becoming pregnant.
829. It should be the
inalienable right of every woman to avoid pregnancy and even to terminate
pregnancy, if it is her sincere wish to develop the conscious self at the
expense of the unconscious not-self.
830. Without such a
right, women will remain the slaves of nature, virtual creatures of nature,
with no real prospects of conscious self-determination.
831. Making a god out
of nature and natural processes is an unchristian failing which simply enslaves
women to the World, making for natural reproduction world-without-heathen-end.
832. That woman who
succumbs, through pregnancy, to the World parts company with the Blessed Virgin
and effectively damns herself to the unconscious Hell of the Cursed Whore.
833. The objective of moral
progress is to overcome and transcend the World, moving, via artificial
alternatives, to a supra-natural salvation in God ... the Holy Spirit of
Heaven.
834. Women who wish to
defend worldly power can have no place in building God's Kingdom, which will
only come properly to pass when the World has been democratically overcome and
mankind elects to substitute, under religious sovereignty, artificial for
natural methods of reproduction, increasingly entering life via science rather
than sex.
835. Every gain that
consciousness makes at the expense of the unconscious hastens the day when the
supra-conscious will come to pass, ushering in the salvation of the self in and
by the universal self, consciousness at one with the air upon which it is
internally focused.
836. The divine Father
(Creator) is commensurate with the Clear Light of the Void.
837. The divine Son,
who sits on the right-hand side of the Father, so to speak, in the spectrum of
divine alternatives, is commensurate with the Unholy Spirit of the Void.
838. The divine
Mother, who ascended into Heaven, is commensurate with the Unclear Light of
Heaven.
839. The Divine per se is commensurate with the Holy Spirit of Heaven,
which is beyond all else and alone the one, true, and ultimate God, of which I
am but a servant.
840. Those who side
with the unconscious tend to a comic view of life, which contrasts with the
tragic view of those who, following in Christ's moral footsteps, side with the
conscious.
841. Like Jazz,
classical music is generally rooted in the supra-unconscious, from which
starting-point everything beyond wind stems.
842. It could
generally be said of Jazz and Classical alike that they are rooted in wind and
are thus, at best, negatively divine.
843. The sun is both
supermasculine and superfeminine - the former when rising and the latter when
setting.
844. Likewise the moon
is both masculine and feminine - the former in its waxing and the latter in its
waning.
845. If the
supra-unconscious is supra-feminine, then the personal unconscious is
superfeminine, and hence absolutely immoral.
846. If the
supra-conscious is supra-masculine, then the collective conscious
(superconscious) is supermasculine, and hence absolutely moral.
847. In between the absolutely
immoral personal unconscious and the absolutely moral collective conscious come
the relatively immoral collective unconscious and the relatively moral personal
conscious - the former feminine and the latter masculine.
848. The road back
leads from the collective unconscious to the personal unconscious and, finally,
to the supra-unconscious of primal divinity.
849. The road forward
leads from the personal conscious to the collective conscious and, finally, to
the supra-conscious of ultimate divinity.
850. To be relatively
damned is to pass from the personal conscious to the collective unconscious,
which is phenomenally evil.
851. To be relatively
saved is to pass from the collective unconscious to the personal conscious,
which is phenomenally good.
852. To be absolutely
damned is to pass from the collective unconscious to the personal unconscious,
which is noumenally evil.
853. To be absolutely
saved is to pass from the personal conscious to the collective conscious, which
is noumenally good.
854. To pass from the
personal unconscious to the supra-unconscious is to become negatively divine.
855. To pass from the
collective conscious to the supra-conscious is to become positively divine.
856. Negative divinity
is behind good and evil, salvation and damnation, and is therefore
supra-immoral.
857. Positive divinity
is beyond good and evil, salvation and damnation, and is therefore supra-moral.
858. There is nothing
anterior to the negative divinity of the supra-unconscious Clear Light of the Void.
859. There is nothing
posterior to the positive divinity of the supra-conscious Holy Spirit of
Heaven.
860. It is on account
of its inherently unsatisfactory, because woeful, nature that there were a series
of ever-more devolved falls from the Clear Light of the Void, viz. spatial
illusion.
861. It is on account
of its intrinsically satisfactory, because joyful, nature that there will be a
series of ever-more evolved rises to the Holy Spirit of Heaven, viz. spaced
truth.
862. The feminine
devolves from what is or was supra-feminine, whereas the masculine evolves
towards what is or will be supra-masculine - the former everlastingly woeful
and the latter eternally joyful.
863. To distinguish
the phenomenal selfishness of the personal conscious from the phenomenal
selflessness of the collective unconscious.
864. Likewise to
distinguish the noumenal selfishness of the collective conscious
(superconscious) from the noumenal selflessness of the personal unconscious.
865. Finally, to
distinguish the supra-selfishness of the supra-conscious from the
supra-selflessness of the supra-unconscious.
866. The personal
conscious does not transcend the collective unconscious, but exists in relation
to it, as man to woman.
867. Only the
superconscious transcends the collective unconscious, since there can be no
relationship between the collective conscious and the collective unconscious.
868. The
superconscious paves the way, as already noted, for the supra-conscious, and
hence salvation from the self in and through the universal self of airy Heaven.
869. The
superconscious ties-in with all that is synthetic, including LSD, synthesizers,
and computer erotica, whereas the supra-conscious transcends the synthetic in and
through the air, whether manifesting in meditation, uilleann pipes, or plastic
inflatables.
870. Alpha-stemming
people tend to wear duffel coats, overcoats, and raincoats, whereas
omega-aspiring people favour zipper jackets taken-in at the waist in a closed-society
opposition to open-society 'untransvaluated' norms.
871. The man who is
'born again', or 'transvaluated', will not be one to wear duffel coats,
overcoats, or raincoats, but may well prefer short zipper-jackets such that
begin in the World and open towards Eternity.
872. By contrast to
zipper jackets, which are closed (taken-in) at the waist and effectively open
to Eternity (at the neck), duffel coats, overcoats, and raincoats are open at
the hem and effectively closed (buttoned-up) at the neck, as though open to the
Cosmos but closed to the Beyond.
873. Duffel coats
precede overcoats as the central star of the Galaxy precedes the sun - their
hood an indication of alpha-divine allegiance.
874. This contrasts with
the omega-oriented allegiance of hooded zipper-jackets, whereby a convergence
towards ultimate divinity is symbolized in and by the hood.
875. Hence where
duffel coats may be said, in their openness, to reflect a tending away from the
hood (of primal divinity), hooded zippers reflect (in their closed
construction) a convergence towards the hood (of ultimate divinity).
876. There is thus all
the difference in regard to the Clear Light of the Void and the Holy Spirit of
Heaven between the person who wears a duffel coat and the one dressed in a
waist-length hooded-zipper: the former open society and the latter closed.
877. Whereas short
zipper-jackets are 'beyond the pale' of those who dress in open-society
fashion, duffel coats, overcoats, and raincoats tend to be 'beneath the pale',
so to speak, of those whose sartorial preference is closed society.
878. One might cite a
Heathen/Christian or, rather, Heathen/Superchristian distinction between the
alpha stemming and the omega orientated, the 'untransvaluated' and the
'transvaluated'.
879. Such an
antithesis as exists, for example, between duffel coats and hooded zippers is
paralleled, in musical-instrument terms, by that between, say, the saxophone
and uilleann pipes - the one alpha and the other omega, vacuum and plenum of
instrumental extremes.
880. One would have to
be into duffel coats to take wind-based music seriously - at any rate, this is
the logical inference that can be made when we seek to establish parallels
between the contexts in question.
881. From the alpha of
chanting to the omega of humming via the relative omega (omega-in-the-alpha) of
singing and the relative alpha (alpha-in-the-omega) of whistling.
882. Belief in a
universal Creator, or Creator of the Universe, is only credible during an
objective age, when the majority of people pay deference to authoritarian
power.
883. Anyone who is in
any degree evolved enough to have a subjective view of life will tend to regard
the Universe and everything in it as being self-creating, with God (the Holy
Spirit of Heaven) as the ultimate Creation rather than, as in the past, primal
Creator.
884. In fact, being
able to distinguish between the Universe as alpha and Heaven as omega will only
be possible to a person who is evolved enough to have a subjective view of
life, so that God (the Holy Spirit of Heaven) is apperceived as being at the
opposite extreme from the Cosmos (the Clear Light of the Void).
885. Hence where the
Universe is devolutionary because objective, Heaven is evolutionary because
subjective - all the difference between science and religion, or philosophy and
theosophy.
886. Whereas science
and religion are practical, philosophy and theosophy are theoretical, the
theoretical bases, respectively, of science and religion.
887. That man who is
saved will be no less beyond philosophy than beyond science; he lives for
religion (God) based on sound theosophical speculations (doctrine).
888. As illogical to
speak of philosophy as scientific theosophy, as to regard theosophy as religious
philosophy.
889. Scientific
theosophy is to theosophy-proper what religious philosophy is to
philosophy-proper: a paradoxical relativity found in-between the philosophical
and theosophical extremes.
890. If
philosophy-proper corresponds to the Clear Light of the Void, then religious
philosophy (theology) corresponds to the Unholy Spirit of the Void.
891. If
theosophy-proper corresponds to the Holy Spirit of Heaven, then scientific
theosophy (philology) corresponds to the Unclear Light of Heaven.
892. Philosophy and
philology are two sides of the same objective coin - the one corresponding to
the outer light, the other to the inner light.
893. Theology and
theosophy are two sides of the same subjective coin - the one corresponding to
the outer spirit, the other to the inner spirit.
894. From the outer
light of philosophy to the inner spirit of theosophy via the outer spirit of
theology and the inner light of philology.
895. Whereas the outer
light (the Clear Light of the Void) is centrifugally objective, the inner light
(the Unclear Light of Heaven) is centripetally objective.
896. Whereas the outer
spirit (the Unholy Spirit of the Void) is centrifugally subjective, the inner
spirit (the Holy Spirit of Heaven) is centripetally subjective.
897. The centrifugal
objectivity of the outer light is explosive, while the centripetal objectivity
of the inner light is implosive.
898. The centrifugal
subjectivity of the outer spirit is expressive, while the centripetal
subjectivity of the inner spirit is impressive.
899. Outer light,
being explosive, is evil light, whereas inner light, being implosive, is good
light.
900. Outer spirit,
being expressive, is evil spirit, whereas inner spirit, being impressive, is
good spirit.
901. Hence whereas evil,
whether objective or subjective, is centrifugal, goodness, whether objective or
subjective, is centripetal.
902. The outer light
stands to the inner light as the barbarous to the civilized, since civilization
is implosive whereas barbarism is explosive.
903. The outer spirit
stands to the inner spirit as the natural to the cultural, since culture is
impressive whereas nature is expressive.
904. Hence science is
barbarous when explosive, as in the outer light, but civilized when implosive,
as in the inner light.
905. Likewise religion
is natural when expressive, as in the outer spirit, but cultural when
impressive, as in the inner spirit.
906. Strictly
speaking, religion can no more be barbarous or civilized than science natural
or cultural.
907. Similarly,
theosophy can no more be explosive or implosive than philosophy expressive or
impressive.
908. Civilization may
be the redemption of barbarism, but it cannot lead to the cultural; for the
light is an end-in-itself, not a means to the spirit.
909. Light thrives in
a vacuum, whether that vacuum is explosive or implosive, whereas spirit can
only thrive in a plenum, whether that plenum be expressive or impressive.
910. Civilization is
thus an end-in-itself and not a means to cultural salvation, an end that will
erect fences around itself to protect the inner light from its barbarous and/or
natural enemies.
911. Because light and
spirit are antithetical, the one objective and the other subjective, they must
remain forever apart, incapable of being reconciled to the same goal.
912. In fact, light is
a beginning and spirit an ending, the outer light a barbarous beginning and the
inner light a civilized end-of-the-beginning, in contrast to which the outer
spirit is a natural beginning-of-the-end and the inner spirit a cultural
ending.
913. Only the natural
can be redeemed in and by the cultural, passing from outer to inner spirit as
the plenum evolves from collective expression to individual impression.
914. By contrast, the vacuum
of light devolves from public explosion to private implosion, as it passes from
barbarism to civilization.
915. Civilization is
thus, paradoxically, the 'salvation' of the light from public to private,
noumenal to phenomenal; culture, by contrast, the salvation of the spirit from
collective to individual, phenomenal to noumenal.
916. Whereas the outer
light is superheathen and the inner light heathen, the outer spirit is
Christian and the inner spirit Superchristian.
917. Thus from the
noumenal objectivity of the outer light (explosive) to the phenomenal
objectivity of the inner light (implosive), as from elemental to molecular
photon particles.
918. Thus from the
phenomenal subjectivity of the outer spirit (expressive) to the noumenal
subjectivity of the inner spirit (impressive), as from molecular to elemental
photon wavicles.
919. To devolve from
wind instruments, e.g. saxophones, to whistles, as from barbarism to
civilization, but to evolve from singing to piping, e.g. uilleann pipes, as
from nature to culture.
920. Impression is the
spirit's quest and ultimate goal, the journey's end which will only come fully
to pass when the light has been eclipsed and spirit can turn from expression to
its own impressive Heaven in the classless salvation of a centripetal
subjectivity, enrapt in the inner supra-selfish beatitude of the Holy Spirit of
Heaven for all Eternity.
921. Poetry, being a
discipline of the spirit, can be expressionistic or impressionistic, expressive
or impressive, but the best and most evolved poetry will always be
impressionistic, seeking to create an impression of the Divine.
922. The highest
poetry can only be spiritual, not emotional, intellectual, or instinctual,
since the spirit is closer to the Divine than are the soul, the intellect, or
the will.
923. When poetry is
truly spiritual it is abstract, corresponding to the noumenal
subjectivity/subjectivism of Heaven.
924. When abstract
poetry is readerly it is expressive, and therefore subjective in a relative
way, though when such poetry is non-readerly, e.g. when it can only be
contemplated (as a patterned entity), it is impressive, and therefore
absolutely subjective.
925. Relative abstract
poetry is the poetry of noumenal individuality, whilst absolute abstract poetry
is the poetry of noumenal individualism.
926. When poetry is
emotional it is lyrical, corresponding to the noumenal objectivity/objectivism
of Hell.
927. When lyric poetry
is rhymed it is expressive, and therefore objective in a relative way, though when
such poetry is non-rhymed it is impressive, and therefore absolutely objective.
928. Relative lyric
poetry is the poetry of noumenal collectivity, whilst absolute lyric poetry is
the poetry of noumenal collectivism.
929. When poetry is
intellectual it is narrative, corresponding to the phenomenal
objectivity/objectivism of Purgatory.
930. When narrative
poetry is rhymed it is expressive, and therefore objective in a relative way,
though when such poetry is non-rhymed it is impressive, and therefore absolutely
objective.
931. Relative
narrative poetry is the poetry of phenomenal individuality, whilst absolute
narrative poetry is the poetry of phenomenal individualism.
932. When poetry is
instinctual it is dramatic, corresponding to the phenomenal subjectivity/subjectivism
of the World.
933. When dramatic
poetry is rhymed it is expressive, and therefore subjective in a relative way,
though when such poetry is non-rhymed it is impressive, and therefore
absolutely subjective.
934. Relative dramatic
poetry is the poetry of phenomenal collectivity, whilst absolute dramatic
poetry is the poetry of phenomenal collectivism.
935. Just as abstract
poetry is intended to be contemplated, so dramatic poetry is intended to be
acted.
936. Just as lyric
poetry is intended to be sung, so narrative poetry is intended to be narrated.
937. The heavenly
poetry of the contemplator/thinker contrasts with the hellish poetry of the
singer/hearer.
938. The purgatorial
poetry of the narrator/reader contrasts with the mundane poetry of the
actor/speaker.
939. Both dramatic and
abstract poetry are, as we have seen, subjective kinds of poetry - the former
of the World and the latter of Heaven.
940. Both lyric and
narrative poetry are, as we have seen, objective kinds of poetry - the former
of Hell and the latter of Purgatory.
941. When prayer is
sung we get hymns.
942. When lyric poetry
is sung we get songs.
943. When narrative
poetry is sung we get musicals.
944. When dramatic
poetry is sung we get operas.
945. Civilization
stands to barbarism as a good Devil to an evil Devil, or as phenomenal
objectivity to noumenal objectivism.
946. Culture stands to
nature as a good God to an evil God, or as noumenal subjectivism to phenomenal
subjectivity.
947. Better an evil
God than a good Devil, since an evil God can at least be saved to and by a good
God, whereas a good Devil can only be damned to and by an evil Devil.
948. The outer spirit
of an evil God can only be superseded by the inner spirit of a good God, as
nature is saved by culture.
949. The inner light
of a good Devil can only be eclipsed by the outer light of an evil Devil, as
civilization is damned by barbarism.
950. Purgatory is a
good Hell, which contrasts with the evil Heaven of the World.
951. Hell is evil when
absolute (noumenal) but good when relative (phenomenal), while Heaven is evil
when relative (phenomenal) but good when absolute (noumenal).
952. Christ contrasts
with the Mother as the 'God' of good Hell (Purgatory) with the God(dess) of
evil Heaven (the World).
953. The Holy Spirit
contrasts with the Father as the God of good Heaven (air) with the 'God' of
evil Hell (blood).
954. The only
difference between Christ (the Son) and the Antichrist is that whereas the
former is a positive (neutron-wavicle) 'God' of good Hell, the latter is a
negative (neutron-particle) 'God' of good Antihell.
955. The only
difference between the Mother (the Blessed Virgin) and the Antimother (the
Cursed Whore) is that whereas the former is a positive (electron-wavicle)
God(dess) of evil Heaven, the latter is a negative (electron-particle)
God(dess) of evil Antiheaven.
956. The only
difference between the Holy Spirit and the Antispirit (Jehovah/Clear Light of
the Void) is that whereas the former is a positive (photon-wavicle) God of good
Heaven, the latter is a negative (photon-particle) God of good Antiheaven.
957. The only
difference between the Father and the Antifather (Satan) is that whereas the
former is a positive (proton-wavicle) 'God' of evil Hell, the latter is a
negative (proton-particle) 'God' of evil Antihell.
958. The coldness of
water (antimind) contrasts with the dullness of mind (intellect).
959. The darkness of
earth (antiwill) contrasts with the heaviness of flesh (will).
960. The light of
space (cosmic antispirit) contrasts with the lightness of air (universal
spirit).
961. The heat of fire
(antisoul) contrasts with the brightness of blood (soul).
962. All spirit,
whether outer or inner, is positive, i.e. subjective, while all light, whether
outer or inner, is negative, i.e. objective.
963. The inner light
of classical music contrasts with the outer spirit of pop music.
964. The inner spirit
of folk music contrasts with the outer light of jazz music.
965. The inner light
of Classical is damned to and by the outer light of Jazz.
966. The outer spirit
of Pop is saved to and by the inner spirit of Folk.
967. The inner light
of Classical is confirmed by the use of comparatively (in relation to Jazz)
centripetal wind instruments like oboes, flutes, clarinets, etc.
968. The outer light
of Jazz is confirmed by the use of comparatively (in relation to Classical)
centrifugal wind instruments like saxophones, trumpets, trombones, etc.
969. The inner spirit of
Folk is confirmed by recourse to centripetal instruments like harmoniums,
uilleann pipes, accordions, etc.
970. The outer spirit
of Pop is confirmed by recourse to the human voice, in song.
971. The instrumental
light is a tubular vacuum and the instrumental spirit an air-filled plenum.
972. Classical
civilization is damned by Jazz barbarism, whereas Pop nature is saved by Folk
culture.
973. From the outer
light - relative to materialism - of television to the inner spirit of
computers via the outer spirit of radio and the inner light of video.
974. From the outer
light - relative to realism - of magazines to the inner spirit of books (i.e.
paperbacks) via the outer spirit of newspapers and the inner light of co-mags
(comic books).
975. From the outer
light - relative to naturalism - of cinema to the inner spirit of games
machines via the outer spirit of jukeboxes and the inner light of film slides.
976. From the outer
light - relative to idealism - of dreams to the inner spirit of LSD trips via
the outer spirit of visions and the inner light of fantasies.
977. Terrestrial
television is a sort of realistic outer light which was destined to be
partially eclipsed by the materialistic inner light of video - barbarism,
losing ground to civilization.
978. But barbarism
fights back in the naturalistic guise of satellite television, a more absolute
outer light which is the effective damnation of video - civilization losing
ground to superbarbarism.
979. Were satellite
television the end of the story, there would be no hope for video; but,
inevitably, the emergence of video from the shadows of satellite TV presupposes
the development of computer-accessed videos, thereby bringing video to the
idealistic inner light of a multi-option accessibility - superbarbarism losing
ground, in all probability, to supercivilization.
980. From the
realistic barbarism of a natural age to the idealistic civilization of a
cultural age via the materialistic civilization of a civilized age and the
naturalistic barbarism of a barbarous age - Man against Woman, the Devil
against Man, and, finally, God against the Devil, with God ultimately destined
to triumph.
981. The backbrain and
the right midbrain appertain to the old brain, while the left midbrain and the
forebrain appertain to the new brain.
982. A humanist
society, rooted in the World, is effectively of the left midbrain, whereas that
which, as a transcendentalist society, goes beyond the World is effectively of
the forebrain.
983. A nonconformist
society, centred in Purgatory, is effectively of the right midbrain, whereas
that which, as a fundamentalist society, goes behind Purgatory is effectively
of the backbrain.
984. When 'the
subjective' are sovereign, whether politically (republican) or religiously
(transcendentalist), the new brain is free of the old brain.
985. When 'the
objective' are sovereign, whether politically (parliamentary) or religiously
(fundamentalist), the old brain is bound to oppress the new brain.
986. The backbrain is
akin to the sun and the right midbrain to the moon, the former given to the
outer light and the latter to the inner light.
987. By contrast, the
left midbrain is akin to the earth and the forebrain to the airy Beyond, the
former given to the outer spirit and the latter to the inner spirit.
988. The new brain
stretches, in its subjectivity, beyond the old brain in much the same way that
the World and Heaven stretch beyond the objectivity of Hell and Purgatory.
989. A secret society
is no less the shadow side of a public lifestyle than a debating society the
bright side of a private lifestyle.
990. Since public
lifestyles tend to be upper class and private ones middle class, it need not
surprise us that secret societies and debating societies are especially
favoured by the upper and middle classes respectively.
991. Whereas the
public lifestyle is Satanic, the secret society is effectively of the Father.
992. Whereas the
private lifestyle is Antichristic, the debating society is effectively of the
Son.
993. Hence the
fundamentalist nature of Freemasonry, as compared with the nonconformist nature
of Puritanism.
994. If Freemasonry is
an upper-class approach (of the Father) to religion, then Puritanism is
arguably its middle-class counterpart - the former noumenally objective and the
latter phenomenally objective.
995. A humanist
society can only be free of both secret and debating societies in the interests
of impersonal/transpersonal subjectivity.
996. An impersonal service
is no less the converse side of a collective lifestyle than a transpersonal
service the converse side of an individual lifestyle.
997. Since collective
lifestyles tend to be working class and individual ones classless, it won't
surprise us that impersonal services and transpersonal services are especially
favoured by the working class and the classless respectively.
998. Whereas the
collective lifestyle is of the Antimother, the impersonal service is
effectively of the Mother.
999. Whereas the individual
lifestyle is of the Antispirit, the transpersonal service is effectively of the
Holy Spirit.
1000. Hence the
humanist nature of Catholicism, as compared with the transcendentalist nature
of Social Theocracy.
1001. If Catholicism
is a working-class approach (of the Mother) to religion, then Social Theocracy
is its classless counterpart - the former phenomenally subjective (the Mass)
and the latter noumenally subjective (meditation).

APPENDIX/CODA
1002. The artist is of
the inner spirit and is, by definition, classless.
1003. The critic is of
the outer spirit and is, by definition, working class.
1004. The agent is of
the inner light and is, by definition, middle class.
1005. The publisher is
of the outer light and is, by definition, upper class.
1006. The artist who
submits his work for publication inevitably falls prey to the vicious circle of
agent - publisher - critic, as class-bound humanity read, disseminate, and
write about his work from their respective open-society points of view.
1007. The free artist
is beyond publication by publishers, being too much of a God to wish to do
business with the Devil.
1008. The true artist
is only going to remain true to his self by publishing himself, since only thus
can the inner spirit be protected from the claims and demands of the outer
light.
1009. The artist
thinks his work into being through inner spirit, and then, in the class-bound
framework of open-society compromise, it is handed over to the agents,
publishers, and critics to do with as they consider best, irrespective of his
original intentions.
1010. In such
open-society fashion the inner spirit is passed through the filter of the inner
light (agent), the outer light (publisher), and the outer spirit (critic), and
what results bears little resemblance to the original conception!
1011. To publishers,
the artist is a 'bum' (classless person) who must be seduced from his spiritual
idealism and brought into the fold of commercial respectability.
1012. To this end, the
publisher has need of middle men (agents) who liaise between artist and
publisher, always with a view to selling the former down river to the latter.
1013. Thus the artist
falls victim to a conspiracy between publisher and agent, who war on him from their
own necessarily philistine points of view.
1014. No true artist
can survive unscathed the war which agents and publishers wage against him in
the name of philistine, i.e. commercial, interests.
1015. All published
artists sooner or later - and most sooner than later - succumb to commercial
pressures and cease being artists in all but name.
1016. If the agent and
publisher conspiracy doesn't get to him, then the pointed barbs of critics
eventually will; for these latter creatures are generally in the pay of
publishers, their own journalistic ones not excepted.
1017. Ultimately, the
only way that art can survive as a vehicle for the truths of inner spirit is by
turning its back on the World and the World's paymasters, and doing its own
thing independently of them.
1018. Thus, liberated
from both the lights (inner and outer) and the outer spirit, art can be true to itself and
unequivocally serve the inner spirit, to the greater glory of God.
1019. In the Social
Theocratic 'Kingdom of Heaven' there would be neither agents, publishers, nor
critics, but only self-publishing artists, classlessly beyond the class-bound
loyalties (and tyrannies) of open societies.
1020. Neither
civilization (agents), barbarism (publishers), nor nature (critics) would ever again
threaten, dominate, and vitiate culture, according to their respective bents.
1021. The victory of
culture over civilization, barbarism, and nature will only come following its
self-publication by the Second Coming.
1022. The Second
Coming, who is entirely independent of the Father (outer light) and beyond the
Mother (outer spirit), will not be one to seek publication via agents, but one
who transcends the class-bound vicious circle by publishing himself.
1023. Thus will the
Second Coming save culture from the damnation that would otherwise befall it,
were he indisposed to self-publication.
1024. Being the most
classless of artists, he knows, however, that no publisher or agent would
seriously consider his work anyway; for he was always too much 'beyond the
pale' of their lights to satisfy their commercial designs.
1025. It is precisely
because he was the most classless of artists that the Second Coming feels
obliged to save culture from the clutches of the uncultured, in order that it
may serve as a guide to that ultimate freedom of spirit which will only come to
pass with the 'Kingdom of Heaven'.
1026. Where the
perceptual is objective, the conceptual is subjective.
1027. To contrast the
noumenal objectivity of reading with the noumenal subjectivity of thinking -
the absolute perceptual with the absolute conceptual.
1028. To contrast the
phenomenal objectivity of writing with the phenomenal subjectivity of speaking
- the relative perceptual with the relative conceptual.
1029. Both reading and
writing are rooted in the perceptual - the former noumenally and the latter
phenomenally.
1030. Both speaking
and thinking are centred in the conceptual - the former phenomenally and the
latter noumenally.
1031. The poet is the
literary artist who most conforms to the category of reader.
1032. The novelist is
the literary artist who most conforms to the category of writer.
1033. The dramatist is
the literary artist who most conforms to the category of speaker.
1034. The philosopher
is the literary artist who most conforms to the category of thinker.
1035. The phenomenal
objectivity of the novelist can only be damned by the noumenal objectivity of
the poet, as from writing to reading.
1036. The phenomenal
subjectivity of the dramatist can only be saved by the noumenal subjectivity of
the philosopher, as from speaking to thinking.
1037. It could be said
that whereas the poet is of the Father, the novelist, by comparison, is of the
Son.
1038. Similarly, it
could be said that whereas the dramatist is of the Mother, the philosopher, by
comparison, is of the Holy Spirit.
1039. In a People's
society that was properly of the World, e.g. humanist, the reader and the
writer, viz. poet and novelist, would be on the rubbish heap of history.
1040. In a divine
society that was properly beyond the World, e.g. transcendentalist, even the
dramatist would be on the rubbish heap of history or, which amounts to the
same, beneath the pale of the philosophical ideal.
1041. When the 'true
philosopher', or theosophist, 'sits on the throne', there will be no literary
place for readers, writers, or speakers, but only for thinkers; for his
'throne' will be part of the 'Kingdom of Heaven', and in the 'heavenly Kingdom'
only contemplatives will prevail - for all Eternity.
1042. The ultimate
literary artist, who is a man of the inner spirit of thought, is beyond the
pale of readers, writers, and speakers in the 'contemplative Heaven' of the
ultimate thoughts.
1043. For the
absolutely true artist, the philosopher-king, the 'art' of the dramatist is a
beautiful half-truth, while the 'art' of the novelist is a good half-lie, and
the 'art' of the poet a strong absolute lie.
1044. The lie must
perish if the truth is to live, and live in the cultural fullness of the Holy
Spirit of Heaven.
1045. By contrast to
the true philosopher, the poet, or reader, is a literary philistine whose
noumenal objectivity places him in a completely devilish light - the outer
light of his poetic perceptions.
1046. Whereas the
thinker writes after he has thought, the poet thinks after he has written.
1047. Because the poet
is the most false, i.e. philistine, of literary artists, he is also the most
sought-after (commissioned) by publishers.
1048. Absolute
falsities hang together, and the outer-light falsity of publishers and poets
corresponds to an upper-class conspiracy against the World.
1049. Because the
novelist is the least false, i.e. most civilized, of literary artists, he is
closest in practice to agents.
1050. Relative
falsities hang together, and the inner-light falsity of agents and novelists
corresponds to a middle-class conspiracy against the World.
1051. Because the
dramatist is the least true (in relation to philosophers) i.e. most natural, of
literary artists, he is also the most keenly watched by critics.
1052. Relative truths
hang together, and the outer-spirit truths of critics and dramatists correspond
to a working-class reflection of the World.
1053. Beyond the relative
truths, however, of critics and dramatists is the absolute truth of the
philosopher-king, the literary artist who is most true and therefore truly
cultural in his classless affirmation of the Divine.
1054. Such a man,
knowing only the absolute truth of his noumenal subjectivity, can never be
published by others (for God and the Devil are incommensurate), but must seek
his own classless solution to the dilemma of cultural vitiation, and thereby
proclaim himself!
1055. He who proclaims
himself or, rather, his self cannot be published by others; for he is of the
inner spirit, and is thus beyond the outer light and everything that stems, in
open-society fashion, from the publishing Hell of the Father.
1056. Only the Second
Coming can be self-proclaiming to the extent that he is 'beyond the pale' of
what can be published, and therefore an implicit refutation of publishers,
agents, and critics.
1057. In truth,
publishers, agents, and critics (not to mention poets/readers,
novelists/writers, and dramatists/speakers) are 'beneath the pale'; for he is
neither of the World nor of that which precedes and dominates it, but
distinctly beyond the World in the classless Heaven of his philosophical truth.
1058. The particle is
extrinsically centrifugal, while the wavicle is intrinsically centripetal - the
one stemming from alpha and the other aspiring towards omega.
1059. Marxism stands
to Transcendentalism as alpha divine to omega divine.
1060. Lenin stands to
Marx as Moses to Jehovah - the law-giving figure of an alpha-stemming ideology.
1061. As Royalism to
the upper class, so Liberalism to the middle class - the objective in its
noumenal and phenomenal manifestations.
1062. As Socialism to
the working class, so (Social Theocratic) Communism to the classless - the
subjective in its phenomenal and noumenal manifestations.
1063. Whereas Royalism
is fundamentalist, Liberalism is nonconformist - the light in its outer and
inner manifestations.
1064. Whereas
Socialism is humanist, Communism is transcendentalist - the spirit in its outer
and inner manifestations.
1065. Socialism and
Communism are not symptomatic of the Devil and God, but of the World and God.
1066. Royalism and
Liberalism are not symptomatic of the World and Purgatory, but of the Devil and
Purgatory.
1067. God has his
throne in Communism, and the Devil in Royalism.
1068. Man has his
throne in Liberalism, and Woman in Socialism.
1069. Whereas
Communism is corporate and Royalism feudal, Liberalism is capitalist and
Socialism syndicalist.
1070. From the feudal
public to the corporate individual via the capitalist private and the
syndicalist collective.
1071. Royalism strives
to maintain Fundamentalism (the Father), Liberalism to maintain Nonconformism
(the Son).
1072. Socialism
strives to advance Humanism (the Mother), Communism to advance
Transcendentalism (the Holy Ghost).
1073. The historical
struggle between Monarchism/Royalism and Parliamentarianism/Liberalism was
superseded, in the twentieth century, by a struggle between
Republicanism/Socialism and Millenniumism/Communism.
1074. The former
struggle is analogous to one between the Devil and Man (or the sun and the
moon), while the latter struggle is analogous to one between Woman and God (or
the earth and the Beyond).
1075. Just as
Parliamentarianism eventually got the better of Monarchism, so Millenniumism
must eventually triumph over Republicanism, if God is to save the World from
its collective sin, in the name of individual grace.
1076. To go beyond the
corporeal World to the ethereal Heaven, leaving socialist Humanism for the
blessed pastures of a heavenly future which leads, via Social
Transcendentalism, to the (post-human) Millennium.
1077. Man is indeed,
as Nietzsche taught, 'Something that should be overcome', though not merely in
terms of the Superman (of the coming Social Transcendentalist culture) but,
more radically, in terms of the Superbeings, Supra-beings, and, finally,
Ultra-beings of the millennial Beyond which will follow the Superman,
Supra-man, and, finally, Ultra-man (cyborg) stages of the culture to come.
1078. From
contemplating Supermen to meditating Supra-men, with a cyborg transition
leading to the hypercontemplative Superbeings and to the hypermeditative Supra-beings
of the Millennium-proper, followed, thereafter, by the completely saved
Ultra-beings of the transcendent Beyond.
1079. From brain
collectivizations to new-brain collectivizations, followed, with the
transcendence of the left midbrain, by the forebrain collectivizations of the
ultra-beingful Beyond, a true classlessness set in space centres.
1080. Transcend the
old brain (of backbrain and right midbrain) and one has a supra-beingful
context of relative transcendence.
1081. Transcend the
new brain (of left midbrain and forebrain) and one has an ultra-beingful
context of absolute transcendence.
1082. This
ultra-beingful context of absolute transcendence, set in space centres, will
signify the maximum 'Christogenesis' (de Chardin) of which evolving post-human
life is capable, and thereby bring it to the Omega Point - the definitive
manifestation of Eternal Life in the forebrain collectivizations of the Holy
Spirit of Heaven's final end.
1083. The 'art' of
Royalism, as of the upper class, is painting.
1084. The 'art' of
Liberalism, as of the middle class, is literature.
1085. The 'art' of
Socialism, as of the working class, is sculpture.
1086. The 'art' of
Communism, as of the classless, is music.
1087. Where Royalism
is militarist, Liberalism is imperialist.
1088. Where Socialism
is police-ist, Communism is pacifist.
1089. Royalism is the
ideology of doing, Liberalism the ideology of taking.
1090. Socialism is the
ideology of giving, Communism the ideology of being.
1091. To contrast the absolute
devility of doing with the absolute divinity of being, thereby effectively
contrasting Royalism with Communism.
1092. To contrast the
relative devility (purgatorial) of taking with the relative divinity (worldly)
of giving, thereby effectively contrasting Liberalism with Socialism.
1093. Man takes and
Woman gives, but the Devil does and God is.
1094. Taking can only
be overcome (damned) by doing, as Hell eclipses Purgatory.
1095. Giving can only
be overcome (saved) by being, as Heaven redeems the World.
1096. When the atom is
ripped asunder, the neutron is damned by the proton and the electron saved by
the photon.
1097. When the
phenomenal is ripped asunder, the intellect is damned to soul and the will
saved to spirit.
1098. The phenomenal
First shall be noumenal Last, and the phenomenal Last shall be noumenal First,
as the relative is claimed by the absolute, and Hell and Heaven replace
Purgatory and the World.
1099. So long as the
Father continues to hog Heaven, the Holy Spirit (of Heaven) will remain
peripheral to the class-bound dominating God(s) of Christian tradition.
1100. Only when,
through the Second Coming, the Father is cast upon the rubbish heap of
ecclesiastical history ... will the Holy Spirit of Heaven reign supreme.
1101. There is a sense
in which Dracula corresponds to the Father, inasmuch as he is a blood-sucking
diabolic omega rather than a fire-belching diabolic alpha, like Satan.
1102. In fact, the
strength which Dracula acquires through sucking blood is logically vitiated by
sunlight, as the weakness of flame detracts from his soulful essence, hogging
the diabolic 'limelight' at his expense.
1103. When the
diabolic alpha is to the fore, then the diabolic omega must withdraw, else risk
being undermined and even destroyed by that which, as flame, is contrary to the
blood.
1104. It could
therefore be said that, in the mythology of twentieth-century paganism, the
Father walked abroad in the person of Count Dracula, personification of
emotional strength.
1105. With its Orthodox
traditions, Eastern Europe is better qualified to do justice to the Father than
the more Mother-oriented (Catholic) and Son-oriented (Protestant) West, which
is why, I suppose, Count Dracula is a creature of the East, viz. Transylvania.
1106. As, from a more
hard-line standpoint, is Allah, who is no more consanguineous with Jehovah than
(is) the Father, since relative to a diabolic omega (in strength) rather than
to a divine alpha (in illusion) - all the difference between the Holy Soul of
Hell and the Clear Light of the Void.
1107. Woman is
essentially a critic by nature, whereas Man is an agent of civilization.
1108. God, in his
cultural richness, is essentially an artist, while the Devil is fundamentally a
publisher of barbarism.
1109. The being of God
can be either positive or negative, depending whether we are concerned with God
the Holy Spirit of Heaven (the true spirit of the omega) or God the Clear Light
of the Void (the illusory, or false, spirit [antispirit] of alpha, viz.
Jehovah).
1110. The doing of the
Devil can be either positive or negative, depending whether we are dealing with
Devil the Holy Soul of Hell (the Father) or Devil the Clear Heat of Time (the
antisoul of Satan).
1111. The taking of
Man can be either positive or negative, depending whether we are considering
Man the Holy Mind of Purgatory (Christ) or Man the Clear Coldness of Volume
(Antichrist).
1112. The giving of
Woman can be either positive or negative, depending whether we are concerned
with Woman the Holy Will of the World (the Blessed Virgin) or Woman the Clear
Darkness of Mass (the Cursed Whore).
1113. What applies to
the above-listed alpha/omega extremes also applies to the intermediate
positions of omega-in-the-alpha and alpha-in-the-omega.
1114. Hence a distinction
between the outer negative being of the Clear Light of the Void and the inner
negative being of the Unclear Light of Heaven.
1115. Likewise a
distinction between the outer positive being of the Unholy Spirit of the Void
and the inner positive being of the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
1116. Whereas outer
negative being is an elemental photon particle, inner negative being is its
molecular counterpart.
1117. Whereas outer
positive being is a molecular photon wavicle, inner positive being is its
elemental counterpart.
1118. To distinguish,
similarly, between the outer negative doing of the Clear Heat of Time and the
inner negative doing of the Unclear Heat of Hell.
1119. Likewise a
distinction between the outer positive doing of the Unholy Soul of Time and the
inner positive doing of the Holy Soul of Hell.
1120. Whereas outer
negative doing is an elemental proton particle, inner negative doing is its
molecular counterpart.
1121. Whereas outer
positive doing is a molecular proton wavicle, inner positive doing is its
elemental counterpart.
1122. Similarly, to
distinguish between the outer negative taking of the Clear Coldness of Volume
and the inner negative taking of the Unclear Coldness of Purgatory.
1123. Likewise, a distinction
between the outer positive taking of the Unholy Mind of Volume and the inner
positive taking of the Holy Mind of Purgatory.
1124. Whereas outer
negative taking is an elemental neutron particle, inner negative taking is its
molecular counterpart.
1125. Whereas outer
positive taking is a molecular neutron wavicle, inner positive taking is its
elemental counterpart.
1126. To distinguish,
finally, between the outer negative giving of the Clear Darkness of Mass and
the inner negative giving of the Unclear Darkness of the World.
1127. Likewise a
distinction between the outer positive giving of the Unholy Will of Mass and
the inner positive giving of the Holy Will of the World.
1128. Whereas outer
negative giving is an elemental electron particle, inner negative giving is its
molecular counterpart.
1129. Whereas outer
positive giving is a molecular electron wavicle, inner positive giving is its
elemental counterpart.
1130. When both doing and
taking are effectively on the rubbish heap of history, then and only then will
giving be ripe for beingful salvation.
1131. The salvation of
giving by being is the end of the World and the true beginning of the 'Kingdom
of Heaven', which is its joyful reward.
1132. The being of the
Holy Spirit of Heaven, which is joy, will last for ever in ever-more refined
contexts, becoming progressively purer the further Eternal Life evolves.
1133. Such an
evolution, from the inceptive level of Supermen to the final level of
Ultra-beings, will pass through six stages before it culminates, like this
aphoristic project, in the ultimate purity of the most beingful essence - the
pure essence of ultra-beingful forebrain collectivizations in the definitive
salvation of the omega Beyond.
