SALVATION
FROM
Man
needs
saving from so many things,
But
here
are some of the things
That
theocratic
Centrism
Will
endeavour
to save him from:
Democracy,
Christianity,
the State,
Nationalism,
internationalism,
tribalism,
Socialism,
capitalism,
materialism,
Nature,
marriage,
sex, disease,
Destitution,
unemployment,
poverty, despair,

stockbrokers, banks,
Money,

shares, and millionaires.
Not
a
complete list by any stretch of
The
poetic
imagination,
But
a
slight indication
Of
what
is probably still to come!
THEOCRATIC
CONVOY
Myself,
if
I were the leader of
A
Social
Transcendental Centre,
That
radically-theocratic
And
free-electron
ideological entity,
I
would
prefer to travel about by 'chopper'
Or
motorbike
than by car.
Imagine
a
convoy of black limousines
Heading
from
the leader's headquarters
To
wherever
he wants/has to go.
Isn't
there
something bourgeois
And
starkly
middle-of-the-road about
Such
a
mode of transportation, better suited
To
democratic
prime ministers and presidents
Than
to
theocratic leaders?
Why
should
he be driven about like a bourgeois,
As
though
partial to expensive cars,
When
he
would be more in his ideological element
With
a
motorbike, even if in a sidecar?
Wouldn't
he
be partial to zipper jackets,
Since
beyond
the use of button-up coats,
And
wouldn't
they prove more relevant
To
motorbikes
than to cars?
Yes,
I
dare say they would, since connoting,
Like
bikes,
with a transcendental bias,
Symptomatic
of
a theocratic extremism.
So
for
short trips from, say,
One
part
of town to another,
A
convoy
of motorbikes,
Their
riders
clad in black,
A
kind
of elite bodyguard - booted, helmeted, armed,
The
leader
somewhere in the middle of the convoy,
Well-protected
at
all times.
And
for
long trips, a 'chopper',
Well-protected
in
the air and monitored
From
the
ground - fast and transcendental.
NUCLEAR
FISSION
You
don't
get to a free-electron society
Without
splitting
the atom,
And
if
the world is
to be
brought
Closer
to
a post-atomic status,
Then
the
atom will have to be split,
Since
nuclear
fission
Is
conducive
to such a status
And
can
only be appropriate to an age
In
which
the societal atom has to be split,
An
age
transitional between atomic relativity
And
electron
absolutism.
A
world
in which the societal atom
Had
been split would be very different
From
the
one currently in existence.
It
would
be a much more interiorized world,
In
which
artificial criteria
Considerably
preponderated
over natural criteria.
For
you
don't get to the Supernatural
By
being
dependent on nature!
Willy-nilly,
life
will have to go forwards,
Irrespective
of
whatever
Reactionary
naturalists
and atomists now think.
Man
will
increasingly live off his own oxygen,
Food,
drink,
synthetic resources,
And
thus
become Superman,
Independent
of
nature - Supernatural!
THE
MODERN
DEATH
Literature
is
deep and anguished,
But
pseudo-literature
is shallow and smug.
Literature
allows
one to peer
Into
the
anguished heart
Of
its
principal character,
Pseudo-literature
hinges
upon the smug sociability
Of
its
superficial characters.
There
is
criticism in literature,
A
deep,
penetrating criticism of man and society,
A
'Steppenwolfian' revolt of
The
higher
spirit against the world.
Pseudo-literature
may,
if Marxist,
Criticize
the
bourgeoisie,
But
it
will glorify the proletariat
And
their
social/industrial achievements.
Literature
reveals
what lies hidden beneath
The
veil
of expedient custom and politeness.
Pseudo-literature's
only
concern is with the veil,
The
performance
of everyday society.
If
literature
is akin to
The
soulful
kernel of creative writing,
Then
pseudo-literature
is the materialist husk.
If
literature
is essence,
Then
pseudo-literature
is appearance, reflecting
The
degeneration
of the novel
From
profundity
to superficiality, commensurate with
A
progressively
more commercial tendency.
Literature
is
dead or dying,
But
pseudo-literature
proclaims
Its
base,
automaton-like existence
From
the
rooftops of contemporary publishers,
Like
a
vulture gloating over a carcass.
Pseudo-literature
is
the death-in-life,
The
zombie-like
complacency of commercial man.
HIGHER
VOICE
It
is
no use pretending
That
literature
can fight back
And
re-establish
creative life
At
the
expense of uncreative death.
It
can't! It is vastly
outgunned and, besides,
A
democratic
genre like the novel
Has
no
right to Eternal Life!
Those
who
still write literature
Are
but
the tail-end of
An
old,
predominantly worldly tradition,
And
even
their star shines less brightly
Than
did
that of their predecessors,
Since
exposed
to the fogs of pseudo-literature,
Which
inevitably
invade their works from within
As
well
as from without, smothering them
Beneath
a
welter of complacent claptrap!
No,
literature
cannot live for ever,
And
although
in my less-enlightened youth
I
once
wrote something akin to it,
I
would
not now attempt to write a novel, finding
Even
the
reading of one
An
increasingly
unattractive proposition!
Nor
would
I bring myself to
The
abyss
of an antinovel,
With
its
superficial encomiums
And
satisfaction
in ongoing materialism,
Its
utter
indifference to the inner light,
Its
horror
of genius
And
praise
for the common herd!
Leaving
the
antidemocratic to the left-wing automata
Who
purvey
and peruse it, I proceed
From
literature
to poetry,
Where
the
inner voice can once again be heard,
Only
this
time much clearer
And
more
intensely than before,
The
sole
witness to inner truth.
Not,
then,
the inner voice
Of
philosophical
literature,
Still
less
of philosophy,
But
the
inner voice of poetry,
A
spiritual
rather than an intellectual voice.
This
higher
voice of literary poetry
Speaks
from
the psyche, not the brain,
And
what
it says will always ring true!
LITERARY
AND
PURE
The
genuinely
transcendental society of
A
radical
theocracy will be partial
Neither
to
novels nor to antinovels
And/or
philosophical
novels, but only to poems.
Since
I
equate this radically theocratic society
With
Social
Transcendentalism, it is logical
For
me
to equate such literary poems
As
I
now write with the 'social' aspect
Of
this
relativistic absolutism,
While
reserving
purely abstract poems
For
equation
with its 'transcendental' aspect,
Which
would
be meritocratic
Rather
than
bureaucratic, and which
Would
eventually
become the sole aspect of
A
super-transcendental
absolutism.
Yet,
in
the short term, literary poems
Will
still
be justified, since serving
To
mould
and clarify ideological allegiance
Along
the
most appropriate theocratic lines.
And
I
call 'literary' whatever is written in
A
meaningful,
non-abstract,
And
expressive
kind of way, thereby maintaining
A
sort
of bureaucratic, and hence 'social', atomicity
Between
grammar
and words
For
the
sake of metaphysical intelligibility.
By
contrast,
pure poetry will be
Above
the
intellect, a kind of theocratic
And
hence
'transcendental' equivalent ...
Of
non-expressive
word groupings.
I
would
be less than
A
true
Social Transcendentalist
If,
at
other times, I didn't also write like that!
IDEOLOGICAL
DISTINCTIONS
One
shouldn't
imagine that religious politics
And
political
religion are identical!
They
appertain
to different
Spectra
of
ideological evolution,
The
one
... tail-ending a democratic spectrum,
The
other
... at the inception
Of
a
truly theocratic one.
Religious
politics
is still political,
Whereas
the
essence of political religion
Is
of
course religious.
We
are
dealing, then, with a distinction between
Fundamentalist
socialism,
or Soviet Communism,
And
Social
Transcendentalism, or theocratic Centrism,
And
while
fundamentalist socialism
Is
fundamentally
autocratic (if somewhat theocratically
so,
to
the
extent that it derives from Marx), it is
Pseudo-democratic
in
that it champions
A
People's
Democracy from a totalitarian base
In
which,
as in liberal republicanism, both
Prime
ministers
and presidents fulfil
Their
'democratic'
offices of state.
By
contrast,
Social Transcendentalism
Would
be
'democratic' to the extent
That
it
upheld a bureaucracy,
But
theocratic
in everything else,
Not
least
of all in its adherence to
The
Leader-principle
and consequent avoidance of
Prime
ministerial
and/or presidential associations.
The
President
of a People's Republic signifies the Antichrist,
The
Leader
of a Social Transcendental Centre
Will
signify
the Second Coming.
There
lies
the principal distinction between
Religious
politics
and political religion!
GODLESS
STATE
Whereas
Christianity
signifies
A
compromise
between the proton Father
And
the
electron Holy Ghost ...
In
the
atomic 'person' of Christ,
Antichristianity,
or
Communism, upholds
No
such
compromise, since
Partial
to
electrons alone,
Albeit
on
the materialist level of
The
particle
proletariat rather than - as with Centrism -
On
the
idealistic level of the wavicle superfolk.
Hence
a
communist democracy can have
No
truck
with the bourgeoisie, who signify
A
neutron
connotation, as though
Appertaining,
along
with aristocracy, to the Father.
In
actual
fact, the bourgeoisie
Appertain
to
what might be called
The
fundamentalist
aspect of Christ,
Whereas
the
proletariat appertain, by contrast,
To
His
transcendentalist aspect ...
Without,
however,
being of
the Holy
Ghost.
That
can
only apply to the superfolk,
Who,
in
a Centrist society, will stand in
An
antithetical
context to the feudal aristocracy,
That
class
approximating to the Father.
(I
say
nothing of relative antitheses,
as
between
superfolk and peasantry
or,
alternatively,
meritocracy and aristocracy.)
So
a
bourgeois/proletarian compromise
Inheres
to
both democracy and
Its
religious
concomitance ... in Protestantism,
Christ
signifying
a compromise
Between
church
and state.... Unlike Marx
Who,
as
the Antichrist, upholds
A
proletarian
exclusivity in accordance with
The
anti-democratic
essence of Communism,
An
essence
which nevertheless still makes for
A
so-called
'People's Democracy' in
The
godless
state of the proletariat!
CLASS
EVOLUTION
Just
as
atomic evolution proceeds, through man, from
A
proton-
and/or atomic-particle Kingdom to
An
the
rise
of a
A
neutron-
and/or
An
electron-wavicle Centre,
So
class
evolution mirrors a similar progression,
Beginning
with
the proton- and/or atomic-particle
Aristocracy/peasantry,
continuing
with
The
atomic-wavicle plutocracy/workers,
beginning afresh
With
the
neutron- and/or electron-particle
Bureaucracy/proletariat,
and
culminating with
The
electron-wavicle
meritocracy/superfolk.
During
the
proton and atomic stages of evolution,
The
minority
classes - namely aristocracy
And
plutocracy
- exploit the majority classes
Of
the
peasantry and workers.
During
the
neutron and/or electron
Stages
of
evolution, however, the majority classes -
Namely
proletariat
and superfolk - are
served
By
the
minority classes
Of
the
bureaucracy and meritocracy.
An
overlap
from one class-stage to another
Does
of
course obtain, though
The
emergence
of a third class-stage
Renders
the
first untenable.
The
distinction,
furthermore,
Between
particle
and wavicle stages
Is
in
regard to manual and intellectual work,
As
befitting
their respective natures.
Thus
whereas
the peasantry and proletariat
Are
both
engaged, according to
Their
particle
biases, in manual work
(the
first
naturally, through toil in fields,
the
second
artificially, through toil in factories),
The
workers
and superfolk, by contrast,
Are
engaged,
according to their wavicle
biases, in
Brain
work
(the former naturally,
through
clerical
work, the latter supernaturally,
through
the
use, in research, of computers,
calculators,
cassette
recorders, and so on).
From
field
to factory, and from office to laboratory.
POST-ATOMIC
AND
FREE-ELECTRON
Republics
are
synonymous
With
neutron
and electron particles,
Whether
the
liberal republic
That
shares
power between
The
wavicle-biased bourgeoisie
And
the
particle-biased proletariat,
Or
the
so-called People's Republic
Which
transfers
power to
The
particle-biased
proletariat
And
does
away with the bourgeoisie.
In
the
first case, an atomic compromise
Between
church
and state.
In
the
second case, a post-atomic state exclusivity.
In
other
words, a progression
From
relativity
to absolutism.
But
also,
in some sense, a regression
From
wavicle relativity to particle
absolutism.
Certainly
one
should carefully distinguish
Between
this
post-atomic democratic materialism
And
a
free-electron theocratic spirituality,
As
appertaining
to the Centre which,
In
contrast
to the republican state,
Will
reflect
a wavicle bias in
accordance
With
an
aspiration towards pure spirit.
The
post-atomic
status is
An
extension
of the democratic spectrum,
The
free-electron
status ... the inception of
A
truly
theocratic spectrum,
In
which
sovereignty is vested in the Leader ...
As
embodied
Holy Ghost. The
Centre, then,
Is
above
all democratic sovereignty, whether
Of
the
liberal or socialist republican kinds, and is
Thus
beyond
both Christianity and Antichristianity
In
what
is potentially if not, at this point in time,
Actually
the
true world religion
Of
theocratic
Centrism,
As
conceived
of and introduced by
He
who,
in his own logically grounded estimation,
Regards
himself
as loosely corresponding
To
a
Second Coming.
REPUBLIC
AND
CENTRE
The
A
compromise
between the Catholic Church
And
the
The
wavicle aspect of the atom
And
the
particle aspect of
The
neutron
and/or electron.
There
are
those, I know, who would
Like
to
do away with this compromise
And
bring
about a state absolutism,
In
what
would be a hard-line People's Republic.
But
they
misunderstand
That
an
electron-particle materialism
Would
be
acceptable to it!
For,
in
complete contrast to
Ireland
is
ever the land where, at least as far as
The
majority
population is concerned, a
Wavicle
bias prevails, and such
Will
doubtless
continue to be the case in future,
Even
if,
in deference to historical evolution, that
Bias
is
transferred from the atomic Church
To
the
electron Centre, and thus established
On
the
highest possible terms,
Terms
which
less signify a stemming from the Father
Than
an
aspiration towards the Holy Spirit,
Irrespective,
initially,
of whether such
An
aspiration
is indirect rather than direct,
And
thus
involving recourse,
Through
Social
Transcendentalism,
To
hallucinogenic
stimulants like LSD
As
the
necessary prelude to the hypermeditation
Of
a
super-transcendental age.
But
theocratic
Centrism,
Whether
in
its first or second stages,
Cannot
exist
within a republic,
Like
Christianity
within a kingdom.
You
cannot
speak of a Centrist state,
Still
less
of a republican state with
A
Centrist
culture and 'church'.
The
Centre,
no less than
The
Kingdom
of pre-Christian times,
Would
be
absolutist, and while the
Kingdom
incorporated
its own pagan religion
And
later
went on to accommodate Christianity,
So
the
Centre would incorporate
Its
own
transcendental politics,
With
particular
reference to the bureaucracy.
One
could
therefore speak of
A
state-based
Centre, but Centre it would be,
If
political
sovereignty resided in the Leader,
And
not,
as with republican states, in the masses,
Whether
bourgeois
and proletarian, or only proletarian,
Neutron
and
electron, or only electron.
LEADER'S
THEOCRACY
The
State
independent of the Church is
A
communist
ideal,
But
the
Centre independent of the State is
A
Centrist
one, and differs from the former
To
the
extent that leader's sovereignty
Differs
from
proletarian sovereignty.
A
People's
Republic, no matter
How
dictatorial
it may appear to the cynical eye,
Is
still
a democratic phenomenon
In
which
the proletariat,
In
whom
sovereignty resides,
Are
represented
by People's Representatives,
Including
prime
minister, president, and so on,
Who
are
accountable to the electorate.
A
Social
Transcendental Centre, by contrast,
Would
be
a theocratic entity,
Since
totalitarian
on account of
Political
sovereignty
residing in the Leader,
Who
would
be no-less independent of the State
Than
People's
Representatives in
A
Communist
Democracy are independent of the Church.
Whereas
in
a People's Republic the proletariat
Are
an
end in themselves,
In
a
Social Transcendental Centre, by contrast,
The
Leader
would be the means to a higher end -
Namely
the
introduction and development
Of
Social
Transcendentalism
In
the
People's moral interests,
Who
will
of course be its chief beneficiaries,
Since
they
are the ones who, if they so choose,
Will
be
religiously sovereign
And
thus
entitled to develop
Their
spiritual
potential
To
the
greater glory of their saved selves.
FREE
THOUGHT
Communal
prayer
is endemic to Christianity,
Because
thought
appertains to
The
wavicle aspect of the neutron,
With
particular
reference to the midbrain.
If
Christianity
has hitherto stressed prayer
Instead
of
meditation, it is because -
Particularly
in
its Protestant manifestation -
Christianity
has
to do with
The
wavicle aspect of the neutron, being
more
A
religion
of the intellect, or Word made Flesh,
Than
of
the spirit.
Meditation,
by
contrast, appertains to
The
wavicle aspect of the electron,
And
is
accordingly a spiritual indulgence,
Awareness
being
cultivated for its own sake
Rather
than
used, as will,
To
condition
and order thoughts.
In
recited
prayer, there is very little
Use
of
the will, since what has been learnt,
And
consigned
to memory, attests
To
a
neutron-wavicle approach stemming
From
the
Son and reflecting the enslavement of
The
supplicant/worshipper
to natural determinism.
Free
thought,
on the other hand,
Is
thought
regulated by the will,
Or
particle
aspect of the electron,
And
it
is indicative of
A
state
freedom from natural determinism,
So
dear
to republican democratic sentiment.
Free
thought
is fundamentally anti-Church,
But
it
can also become pro-Centre,
As
when
used to advocate
The
electron-wavicle freedom of pure
contemplation.
If
free
thought is antinatural,
Then
freedom
from thought is Supernatural,
The
antithesis
to bound thought,
And
thus
to wavicle-biased neutrons.
EMOTION
AND
WILL
Emotion
appertains
to the particle aspect
Of
the
proton, the stuff of which passions,
Both
transient
and lasting, are made.
Emotion
is
thus a thing of the old brain,
Antithetical,
in
character, to will,
Which
stems
from the particle electrons
Of
the
new brain.
In
between
one finds thought,
That
neutron-wavicle noumenon
Of
the
conscious mind, and thought can be
Either
bound
to emotion in superstition,
Or
free
from emotion in reason, depending
On
the
person or context/epoch in question.
Whereas
emotions
are perceptual, thoughts are
Conceptual,
not
felt but nevertheless known
By
the
apparent essence of the will,
Which
both
evokes and regulates thought according
To
its
electron-particle integrity.
Beyond
thought,
however, is the pure awareness
Of
an
electron-wavicle essence,
Antithetical
in
every respect to emotion.
One
could
speak of emotion
As
fundamental
to the
Thought
as
inhering to the Christian Church,
Will
as
fundamental to the
And
awareness
as inhering to
The
Social
Transcendental Centre.
Emotion
is
soulful, but awareness spiritual.
Will
is
superior to emotion,
As
reason
to superstition,
But
inferior
to awareness.
BRAIN
AND
MIND
The
penetration
of thought by will makes for memory,
Which
is
an atomic phenomenon reflecting
A
compromise
between brain and mind,
The
electron
particles of the new brain
And
the
neutron wavicles of the
conscious mind.
Thoughts
reside
in the latter,
But
their
realization or recollection
Depends
upon
the degree to which
The
former
is exercised.
A
strong
will should induce a strong memory,
A
weak
will ... a weak memory.
In
distinguishing
between brain and mind,
One
has
a particle/wavicle dichotomy,
The
neutron
particles of the midbrain
Contrasting,
through
read literature, with
The
neutron
wavicles, or thoughts, of
The
conscious
mind; the electron particles
Of
the
new brain contrasting, as will, with
The
electron
wavicles, or awareness, of
The
superconscious; not to mention
The
proton
particles of the old brain
Contrasting,
as
emotion, with
The
proton
wavicles, or dreams, of
The
subconscious
mind.
Just
as
the Church stems from the Kingdom,
So,
in
a manner of speaking, does the conscious mind
Stem
from
the old brain.
By
contrast
with the conscious mind,
The
new
brain signifies a 'fall' (forwards)
From
church
to state or, at any rate, from
The
Neutron
wavicles to neutron and/or
electron particles.
But
out
of the particle Republic
Should
arise
the wavicle Centre,
As
the
new brain leads to the superconscious,
And
thus
a return to mind - only this time
To
mind
of the spirit rather than
To
mind
of either the soul or the intellect.
RACIAL
DICHOTOMY
Whether
the
materialism be of old brain or new brain,
Imagination
or
will, subnatural or antinatural,
it must
Ever
contrast
with the naturalism and supernaturalism,
Thought
and
awareness, of the intellectual conscious
And
the
spiritual superconscious, which alone
Appertain
to
the wavicle aspects of the
atom.
Whether
one
has a bias for the particle
Or
the
wavicle aspect of a particular
element ...
Will,
to
a large extent, depend upon one's race,
And
we
need not doubt that whilst
Anglo-Saxons
generally
favour the particle aspect
Of
each
element, Celts, particularly when Irish,
Generally
favour
its wavicle aspect.
Thus
whereas
the English progressed
From
imagination
to will,
As
from
Shakespeare to Empire,
The
Irish
are in the process
Of
progressing
from thought to awareness,
As
from
prayer to contemplation.
In
the
case of the English a materialist progression
From
the
Kingdom to the State;
In
the
case of the Irish a spiritual progression
From
the
Church to the Centre.
Of
course,
neither people are absolute,
An
atomic
compromise being endemic
To
humanity
over a given period of time.
But
few
would deny that a bias
One
way
or the other has long existed,
And
certainly,
as far as the Irish are concerned,
Such
a
bias will continue to exist into the future,
Irish
people
becoming more spiritual,
English
people,
with external encouragement,
Less
materialist,
until eventually,
Following
decades
of interbreeding
Between
blacks
and whites,
The
Anglo-Saxon
race effectively ceases to exist,
And
the
majority of the inhabitants
Of
what
is now mainland Britain
Become
no
less spiritual than
Their
Celtic
neighbours across the
IDEOLOGUES
While
thinking
in terms of racial roots
Is
permissible
within an open society
Of
democratic
provenance,
It
would
be taboo within a closed society
Of
theocratic
persuasion, such as
A
Social
Transcendental Centre, where neither Celts
Nor
Anglo-Saxons
and Jews would exist,
But
only
free-electron ideologues
Partial
to
a supra-national designation.
If
nationals
can also be tribalists -
Englishmen
Anglo-Saxons
or Irishmen Celts -
Then
supra-nationals
will only be transcendentalists,
Even
if
Irish and Israeli or Iranian ones,
Depending
on
their national background.
Thus
an
Irish Social Transcendentalist
Would
be
first and foremost an ideologue,
Albeit
one
of Irish descent.
He
won't
be an Irishman, still less a Celt,
Since
both
national and subnational
ascriptions
Will
cease
to be relevant
In
a
Social Transcendental Centre.
If
The
first
ideological component in
A
sort
of federation
Of
Social
Transcendental Centres,
Then
it
will have to cease being Eire
And
instead
become
An
Irish
Social Transcendental Centre,
Elevated
to
the supra-national status
Of
a
full-blown theocracy under
The
Messianic
guidance of he who, for a
Variety
of
reasons, most corresponds to
A
Second
Coming and intends to establish
His
heavenly
'kingdom', the Centre, on earth ...
In
order
that all worldly kingdoms
May
be
overcome and the world brought to
A
theocratic
unity in transcendental Centrism,
As
the
necessary precondition
Of
subsequent,
or millennial, evolution.
MILLENNIAL
EVOLUTION
Millennial
evolution
does of course imply
The
creation,
by qualified technicians, of
The
life
forms destined to supersede
The
superhuman/superbeingful 'men'
Of
the
Centrist civilization - namely
The
artificially-supported
and sustained
Brain
collectivizations of the Supermen,
Followed,
some
time later, by
The
new-brain
collectivizations
Of
the
Superbeings; the first post-human
life form
Antithetical
to
apes,
The
second
one antithetical to trees;
The
former
engaged in hypertripping,
Or
undergoing
hallucinogenic enlightenment
More
extensively
and intensively
Than
would
be possible on the human plane;
The
latter
engaged in hypermeditating,
Or
meditating
more extensively and intensively
Than
would
be possible on the human plane;
The
distinction
between them amounting
To
a
more radical duplication of
The
preceding
superhuman/superbeingful
stages
Of
Centrist
civilization, leading
(via
the
Superbeings) to transcendence,
And
thus
to the attainment of pure spirit
To
the
spatial Beyond where, in conjunction
With
numerous
other spiritual transcendences, it will
Proceed
on
its heavenly journey towards
The
culmination
of all evolution in
The
definitive
spiritual unity of the Omega Absolute -
The
ultimate,
or universal, globe ... of pure spirit,
The
blessed being of
The
Holy
Spirit in the bliss of Eternity.
Yet
before
the spatial Beyond of ... Heaven,
The
heavenly
millennium of ...
The
post-human
life forms,
The
first
stage set on earth,
The
second
... in space,
Each
stage
a full-blown version
Of
the
coming civilization, which will be
A
millennium
of post-humanist endeavour,
As
championed
and led by Social Transcendentalism.
A
PROTOTYPE
To
pretend
that the Greater German Reich
Was
At
worst
political naiveté.
Hitler
created,
at first
And
then
A
supra-national
entity distinct from
And
owing
nothing to republican precedent.
In
the
Greater German Reich we perceive
The
rudiments
of a theocratic union,
Which
was
subsequently extended at
And
was
originally designed to embrace
The
racial
folk community of the Teutonic peoples,
Who,
in
Hitler's estimation, were alone qualified
To
receive
the (false) theocracy of National Socialism,
And
thus,
in comparison with surrounding
Democratic
peoples
(both liberal and communist), become
A
'master
race', living in a superior, or theocratic, system
In
which
sovereignty was vested in Hitler
Who,
as
Führer, approximated,
No
matter
how crudely, to a Second Coming,
The
saviour
of his people, meaning
Those
capable
of being thus theocratized,
Who
acknowledged
the Leader
And
were
obligated to obey him.
Being
a
false theocracy, National Socialism
Assuredly
deserved
to fail, but I would be a hypocrite
Not
to
perceive in it the crude prototype
Of
a
higher order, an intimation of things to come ...
With
the
rebirth of theocracy in Centrism,
And
consequent
emergence of Social Transcendentalism
As
the
ideology destined to complete what Nazism,
In
its
socialistic imperfection,
Ultimately
failed
to achieve - namely
The
overcoming
of all democracy and
Advancement,
throughout
the world,
Of
genuine
theocracy, albeit by degrees
And
according
to ethnic suitability.
What
National
Socialism inevitably failed to do,
Social
Transcendentalism
must succeed in doing,
To
the
greater glory of world-historical progress!
WORK
AND
PLAY
The
atomic
dichotomy between work and play
Is
gradually
being superseded
By
a
bias for play ... that may yet turn into
An
exclusive
concern with play, or recreation,
At
the
expense of work.
If
the
pagan age was partial to work,
And
the
Christian age to a compromise
Between
work
and play, then we needn't doubt
That
the
coming transcendental age
Will
be
partial to play, as was already the case
In
the
late-twentieth century where
Large
numbers
of people were concerned,
Not
least
among those who had no work
Because
they
were unemployed, and consequently
Read
books
and/or magazines,
Listened
to
music and/or voice recordings,
Watched
television
and/or video,
Played
slot
machines and/or computer games.
Play
is
no bad thing if it brings one closer to being,
Takes
one
further away from
The
historical
curse of work.
The
work/play
dichotomy is, after all, equivalent
To
an
atomic/neutron distinction,
And
whilst
a compromise between the two
Will
be
relevant to an atomic age,
It
can
only become increasingly irrelevant
As
time
advances towards a free-electron age
In
which
not worldly compromise
But
heavenly
absolutism is the social norm,
In
deference
to theocratic criteria.
Beingful
play, then, will be the future
norm -
At
least
as far as the masses are concerned.
For
not
all men are the same,
And
while
the majority may prefer to play,
A
minority
will favour work, if of a beingful
nature.
These
are,
of course, the leaders,
The
shepherds
to the flock,
And
while
they are largely responsible
For
the
creation of new 'promised lands'
Of
the
spirit, they don't care or dare
To
enter
them personally, leaving
Their
enjoyment
to the people.
FROM
BALLOONS
TO 'CHOPPERS'
If
air
balloons are natural,
Then
the
earliest planes, open to the air,
Were
moderately
antinatural,
With
double
wings on either side.
Then
came
the single-wing closed cockpit planes,
Suggestive
of
a radical antinaturalism,
Which
were
followed, in due course, by
The
more
radically anti-natural jet planes,
With
shorter
wings set aslant the body,
As
if
drawn back in horror of relativity.
But
even
they seem moderate
Compared
with
the extreme antinaturalism
Of
those
jets, often smaller, whose wings
Are
so
close to the body as to appear a part of it,
An
extension
of the body rather than an independent wing,
Near
absolute
in expansive tail, more fish than bird.
Similar
to
them but capable of vertical take-off
Are
the
anti-supernatural jets, with fold-up wings,
And
reminiscent
of balloons but powered by engine ...
Are
the
supernatural 'choppers',
Their
blades
revolving atop the body
Or,
rather,
head - a vertical take-off
Confirming
a
transcendental essence.
SHIRTS
Button-up
shirts
with collars and cuffs
Aren't
for
Social Transcendentalists,
Since
they
pertain to a bourgeois tradition,
A
kind
of atomic compromise
Between
(neutron)
buttons and (atomic) holes,
Not
to
mention between shirt and tie.
Only
T-shirts
and vests should be worn by them,
Since
all-of-a-piece
in a button-free absolutism
Of
electron
transcendentalism.
SHAM
OR
GENUINE
As
a
writer, are you a subnaturalist,
A
naturalist,
an antinaturalist,
Or
a
supernaturalist, viz. dramatist,
Novelist,
philosopher,
or poet?
Are
you
of the Father or the Mother,
Of
Christ
or the Holy Ghost?
Is
your
work aristocratic or plutocratic,
Technocratic
or
meritocratic?
Do
you
write it on its own true level -
Philosophy
in
aphorisms, poetry in free verse -
Or
on
some higher or lower level,
Depending
on
the genre?
And
is
what you write applicable to
The
genre
in question,
Like
worldly
appearances to literature
And
heavenly
essences to poetry?
Are
you
a muddlehead or a genius,
Sham
or
genuine?
SPIRITUAL
WEALTH
You
may
become rich by writing novels,
That
naturalistic
genre,
But
few
poets become wealthy,
And
those
who do are often false -
Bureaucrats
or
democrats in disguise,
Not
genuinely
theocratic.
Commercializers
and vulgarizers
of poetry,
Bastardizing
the
genre through their worldly sentiments.
But
a
genuine theocrat, serving the cause
Of
the
Holy Spirit, writes genuine poetry,
Whether
literary
or pure, expressive or impressive,
And
he
has no desire to become rich,
Preferring
his
own spiritual wealth
To
the
material poverty of money.
TRANSCENDENTALLY
CLASSLESS
A
genuine
poet isn't bourgeois,
Still
less
proletarian,
But
transcendentally
classless,
Identifying
with
the supernatural,
Not
the
natural or the antinatural.
Proletarian
intellectuals
are usually novelists,
Bourgeois
intellectuals
... philosophers.
Neither
of
which can write genuine poetry,
Though
they
may attempt something above themselves.
The
genuine
poet, however, won't
Attempt
anything
beneath himself.
It
would
be less than genuine - a supernatural
Novel
or
philosophy the paradoxical outcome!
CLASS
ART
To
extend
bourgeois art into a proletarian age,
One
has
only to paint in an abstract manner.
To
create
a genuinely proletarian art,
Commensurate
with
the age of the State,
One
must
be a light artist.
To
go
beyond this into holography
Is
to
become a transcendentalist,
And
the
age of the Centre is just around the corner.
ART
EVOLUTION
If
kingdom
leads to church, and state to centre,
Then
so
must sculpture lead to painting,
And
light
art to holography, as from
Atomic
particles
to wavicles (with a
'fall' from
the
church/painting
to the state/light art), and
From
electron
particles to wavicles.
Thus
whereas
painting signifies
A
Christian
'rise' from pagan sculpture,
So
should
holography signify
A
transcendental
'rise' from secular light art.
PARADOXICAL
'FALL'
The
degeneration
of church art
From
the
heights of Catholic religiosity
To
the
depths of Protestant secularity
Was
paralleled
by the elevation of state art
From
the
depths of Romantic secularity
To
the
heights of Classical light artistry.
By
contrast
to painting, light art most definitely
Signifies
a
'fall', as from wavicle
realism
To
particle
materialism, but one significant of
A
progression
from atoms to electrons,
And
thus
commensurate with the proletariat
Rather
than
the bourgeoisie.
HYBRID
ARTS
Parallel
to
a progression in church art
From
Catholic
representation
To
theosophical
abstraction,
We
find
a degeneration of state art
From
Romantic
representation
To
Expressionist
abstraction,
Preparatory
to
the more extreme
Marxist
purism
of materialist light art.
And
yet,
just as the State began by using
Church
means,
viz. painting, in a secular context,
So
one
can perceive the beginnings
Of
Centrist
art via the use of state means, viz. light art,
In
a
religious context of non-material pure abstraction -
A
distinction
between Expressionism and Impressionism.
What
may
appear a contradiction
Is
often
the extension of a viewpoint
From
the
main perspective to a subordinate
And
tangential
one, or vice versa,
So
that,
whilst a general trend
Is
discernible
in the historical evolution
Of
the
subject in question,
Subordinate
or
peripheral trends
Are
also
to be discerned, if one has
The
desire
or ability to change one's viewpoint.
There
is
a particle aspect to every electron,
A
wavicle aspect to every proton,
And
although
these may be subordinate
To
the
main aspects, or general perspective,
Nevertheless
they
exist and should be
Taken
into
account if a comprehensive picture,
Necessarily
paradoxical,
is ultimately to emerge.
One
cannot
presume that all artists follow
A
rigorously
logical course.
There
are
always anarchic and arbitrary
Employments
of
any given medium,
Be
it
paint, light, stone, or whatever.
But,
as
a rule, they won't preponderate!
TRUE
AND
FALSE
State
art
employing the medium of paint
Is
inherently
inferior
Not
only
to state art employing light,
But
to
church art employing paint,
Since
that
more accords
With
an
atomic-wavicle bias than ...
Either
a
neutron- or an electron-particle one.
Similarly
church
art using the medium of stone,
Which
accords
with an atomic-particle bias,
Is
inherently
inferior to church art-proper,
And
we
needn't doubt that Centrist art using
The
medium
of light is inherently inferior
To
what
is - or will be - Centrist art-proper,
Which
will
use holograms as the medium
Most
suited
to an electron-wavicle bias.
WAVICLE
PROGRESS
Just
as
church art-proper began
In
a
Catholic representational context
And
gradually
evolved towards pure abstraction,
So
Centrist
art-proper will begin
In
a
representational context
And
gradually
evolve towards pure abstraction,
Commensurate
with
a super-transcendental age,
The
second
phase of Centrist civilization.
COITAL
DICHOTOMY
Heterosexual
sex
reverses the usual condition
Of
male
and female sex organs respectively -
The
penis
becoming hard and the vagina soft.
Ordinarily
the
vagina is hard and the penis soft,
As
though
the former reflected a particle bias
And
the
latter, antithetical to it, a wavicle
one.
However,
with
sex, the vagina is raised to
An
atomic-wavicle equivalent while
The
penis
is lowered to an atomic-particle equivalent,
Thereby
establishing
the coital dichotomy
Of
a
church/kingdom relativity.
MORAL
PARADOX
It
may
be said that whereas men are lowered,
Through
heterosexual
sex,
From
the
atomic-wavicle level of a soft
penis
To
the
atomic-particle level of a hard one,
As
though
from catholic church to bureaucratic kingdom,
Women,
by
contrast, are raised by it
From
the
atomic-particle level of a hard vagina
To
the
atomic-wavicle level of a soft
one,
As
though
from bureaucratic kingdom to catholic church.
Thus,
paradoxically,
while men are morally worsened
By
sex,
it morally elevates women.
TRINITARIAN
PERIODS
One
must
carefully distinguish between
The
autocratic,
the bureaucratic/democratic,
And
the
theocratic, as between three periods
Of
evolutionary
time, corresponding
To
the
Father, the Mother/Son, and the Holy Ghost,
While
not
forgetting the anti-democratic period
Of
the
Antichrist, whose hard-line republican state
Opposes
both
the Father and the Mother/Son
Without
being
in favour of the Holy Ghost.
That
devolves
upon the Second Coming
And
his
Social Transcendental Centrism,
And
he
well knows that
No
true
aspiration towards the Holy Ghost
Can
be
made while both state and church,
Not
to
mention kingdom, are in existence.
As
the
Second Coming, he signifies
A
second
and more omega-oriented wavicle
bias -
That
of
the electron Centre
As
opposed
to the atomic Church.
CIVILIZATION
Periods
of
barbarism alternate
With
periods
of civilization,
And
while
the former are endemic
To
the
particle aspect of the atom,
Whether
as
protons, neutrons, electrons,
Or
a
bureaucratic combination of all three,
The
latter
are endemic to its wavicle
aspect,
Whether
with
regard to the Church (in each of
its
elemental
manifestations), or to the Centre.
Thus
whereas
the barbarous Kingdom preceded
The
civilized
Church, so the latter
Has
been
superseded by the barbarous State,
As
representative
of electron particles.
If
civilization
is to reappear, then the particle State
Must
be
superseded by the wavicle
Centre,
And
the
age of the Second Coming
Replace
that
of the Antichrist.
Proletarian
materialism
should lead
To
transcendental
spirituality,
And
thus
to the rebirth of civilization
On
the
highest electron terms.
PASSING
PHASE
Loneliness,
apartness,
isolation, and alienation
Are
endemic
to the electron particles
Of
the
age of the Antichrist.
Particles
are
not cohesive but separate,
And
if,
on the electron level of the proletariat, they
Aren't
negative,
and hence frictional or reactive (like
the
life-and-death
antagonisms of a proton-particle age),
Still
they
remain independent,
Doing
their
own particle thing
In
the
privacy of their individual homes,
Each
man
isolated from his neighbour
In
artificial
self-indulgence,
A
kind
of media hedonism of electron positivity.
Those
who
are deeply of the State
Take
this
situation for granted,
Others,
who
may be more of the Church,
Complain
of
loneliness and alienation.
Yet
others,
who see ahead
To
an
age of transcendental cohesion, know
That
their
current isolation is but a passing phase,
Symptomatic
of
materialist decadence,
A
state
fragmentariness that will be superseded,
In
due
Messianic time, by a cohesion
Namely,
the
electron-wavicle cohesion
Of
the
Centre in the ultimate civilization.
They,
at
any rate, live in hope!
SIDECAR
If
to
ride pillion on a motorbike would be
Incompatible
with
the dignity and/or safety
Of
a
theocratic leader in a Centrist society,
Then
let
him go sidecar and be driven from place to place
In
the
comparative comfort and safety
Of
a
specially-constructed car, an escort
Of
independent
motorbikes in close attendance.
In
such
fashion, he would be able to continue,
If
desired,
with any pressing business
And
would
be absolutist, isolated from fellow passengers
And
the
motorbike's actual driver, self-contained
In
a
small but strong compartment,
Attesting
to
the contraction of materialism
From
democratic
to theocratic levels.
LESSER
AND
GREATER
Distinguish
carefully
between
The
lesser
'natural' supernaturalism
And
the
greater 'artificial' supernaturalism,
As
between
a democratic
And
a
genuinely theocratic supernaturalism.
But,
above
all, distinguish between
The
supernatural
and the supra-natural,
The
latter
of which is
The
more
radical successor of the former.
RADICAL
ANTITHESIS
Beware
those
muddleheads
Who
confound
omega with alpha,
The
Holy
Spirit with the Creator,
Truth
with
strength!
Only
an
atomic Christian can serve
Two
such
antithetical masters at once ...
In
the
person of Christ, Who corresponds,
In
His
humanity, to the 'Three in One',
And
is
thus intellectual goodness
As
well
as instinctual strength and spiritual truth.
Yet
Puritan
Christianity is a neutron-wavicle
noumenon
Of
the
good Christ alone, just as totalitarian socialism
Is
an
electron-particle phenomenon
Of
the
illusory Antichrist alone,
The
hard-line
Republican State
As
opposed
to the soft-line
But
the
proton-particle phenomenon of
The
Kingdom,
corresponding to the Father, and
The
electron-wavicle noumenon
of the Centre,
Corresponding
to
the Holy Spirit, are radically
Antithetical,
as
between paganism and transcendentalism,
And
no-one
who identifies with the latter
Can
possibly
serve the former.
A
break
with the Father is also, by implication,
A
break
with the Son.
For
only
through theocratic Centrism can man aspire
Towards
the
goal of evolution in the Holy Spirit -
The
pure
spirit of the Omega Absolute.
BEYOND
MAN
The
fact
that man cannot attain to pure spirit
In
the
Beyond ... of transcendence,
Is
a
cardinal assertion of my truth.
At
best
he can aspire towards it, but no more!
And
this
in the second phase of his Centrist evolution,
The
superbeingful phase of
Hypermeditating
Super-transcendentalists.
As
in
its first phase, man's immediate successor,
The
Superman,
will indulge in
Hallucinogenic
enlightenment
Through
some
form of LSD-tripping,
And
thus
indirectly cultivate awareness
Through
the
medium of
Artificially-induced
visionary
experience.
But,
as
a brain artificially supported
And
sustained
in collectivized contexts, he
Would
trip
more extensively and intensively.
Only
his
successor, the Superbeing of
The
second
phase of the post-human millennium,
Would
attain
to transcendence, and this because,
As
a
new-brain collectivization, it would
Cultivate
pure
mind to a degree inconceivable
On
the
human scale, thereby abandoning
The
remnants
of atomic materialism
For
the
spiritual freedom of the truly divine!
THEORY
AND
PRACTICE
Truth
pertains
to man,
Supertruth
to the Superman,
And
supra-truth
to the Superbeing.
Man
can
know the truth about himself
And
the
future course of evolution,
But
he
has only a limited capacity
For
supertruth and supra-truth, as
applying
To
the
most intensive cultivation of spirit,
Whether
indirectly
through hypercontemplation,
Or
directly
through hypermeditation,
Such
as
could only be experienced and endured
By
his
post-human successors,
The
superhuman
brain collectivizations
And
the
superbeingful new-brain collectivizations
Of
the
post-human millennium
Preceding
the
Beyond ... of Heaven.
Nevertheless,
man
will come to experience
Supertruth
and supra-truth to some extent
During
the
course of this ultimate civilization.
FROM
EVIL
TO GOOD
Whatever
pertains
to proton and/or atomic particles
Is
absolute
evil, such as
The
autocratic/bureaucratic
Kingdom;
Whatever
pertains
to electron wavicles
Is
absolute
good, such as the theocratic Centre.
In
between
comes the relative good
Of
atomic
and/or neutron wavicles,
Whether
in
bureaucratic or democratic Church,
And
the
relative evil
Of
neutron
and/or electron particles,
Whether
in
democratic or pseudo-democratic State.
The
Church-oriented
faithful correspond to
The
relative
good,
The
State-oriented
unfaithful correspond to
The
relative
evil.
The
former
are civilized,
The
latter
uncivilized.
Only
the
Centre-oriented superfaithful
Will
correspond
to absolute good
In
the
electron-wavicle integrity
Of
the
highest civilization,
As
ordained
by the Second Coming.
(Phallic)
FATHER
AND (Vaginal) MOTHER
Strictly
speaking,
proton wavicles
Aren't
of
the Father but of Jehovah and/or Allah
In
the
oriental fundamentalism of a derivation
From
the
central star of the Galaxy -
The
biggest
and therefore purest star there.
By
contrast,
the Father was derived from
Both
the
sun, corresponding in oriental terms
To
the
Devil (Satan), and the earth's core -
That
is,
from a compromise
Between
Eastern
fundamentalism
And
the
phallic-based paganism of Western precedent.
Such
a
Father is less objectively divine, on
The
alpha
plane of divinity, than
A
combination
of diabolic and worldly,
But
He
is crucial to contiguity
With
the
Mother (nature) and thus
With
the
possibility of a Son (lunar Christ),
The
very
things which, from cosmic objectivity
In
relation
to alpha divinity,
Eastern
fundamentalism
has ever rejected.
Should
sex
be motivated by love (identifiable,
through
emotional
extrapolation, with
the
solar
component of the Father), it is deemed
Morally
acceptable
within the Western context.
But
should
it be divorced from emotional commitment
In
a
lustful promiscuity (identifiable,
through
sensual
extrapolation, with
the
planetary
component, viz. the earth's core, of
the
Father
alone), it is deemed
Morally
unacceptable
within that context (since,
by
itself,
the core is therein equivalent to the Devil - who
has
no
alternative reference-point - and so lustful sex
is
accordingly
identifiable with a diabolic bias).
Not
so,
however, in the Eastern context
Where,
by
contrast, emotional commitment
Would
be
morally suspect on account of its derivation
From
the
emotional plane (of the sun) and, hence,
Identification
with
what is objectively diabolic.
Harems
were
a traditional oriental way for the privileged
To
escape
the curse of emotional entanglement
Or
enslavement
(to the Devil), since they functioned
On
the
basis of a worldly promiscuity, and the world
Is
less
threatening (as sensational instinct) than
The
Devil
(as emotional instinct), to what
Is
God
(as spirit), given its greater distance
From
the
divine - like the planetary from the stellar -
And
inability,
in consequence, to subvert
Or
eclipse,
through fiery emotion, the divine light.
Hence
the
Western Father is really the Eastern Devil,
And
because
He is partly derived from the sun
He
cannot
be equated, like Jehovah or Allah,
With
proton
wavicles but only, like
Satan,
With
proton
particles - a solar outer light
Which
is
less strong than weak in relation
To
the
(oriental) Almighty ...
of the stellar 'inner light',
Or
central
star of the Galaxy, and accordingly
A
deity
which, in complete contrast to
The
higher
alpha of oriental fundamentalism,
Has
been
evolved away from, via the successive
'Persons'
of
the Trinity, in due process of worldly time.
