SUPER
AND
SUPRA
Just
as
one can distinguish between
The
supernatural
and the supra-natural,
As
between
two kinds or degrees
Of
theocratic
indulgence, viz. a bodily and a mental,
An
apparent
and an essential,
So
one
should distinguish between
Supermen
and
the Supra-men
Of
the
coming Centrist civilization,
The
former
disposed to hallucinogenic enlightenment,
The
latter
... to transcendental meditation;
The
one
preceding the other.
Then,
with
regard to a similar apparent/essential division
In
the
succeeding millennium, one should
Also
distinguish
between Superbeings and
the Supra-beings,
As
between
hypertripping brain-collectivizations
Artificially
supported
and sustained on the one hand,
And
...
hypermeditating new-brain collectivizations
No-less
artificially
supported and sustained
On
the
other hand, a distinction which
Would
confirm
the evolution of millennial life
Towards
the
ultrabeingful spiritual
transcendences
Of
the
heavenly Beyond.
Whereas
post-humanist
life is connected with man,
Post-human
life
completely transcends him
In
the
free-electron life forms
Of
Superbeings and Supra-beings
respectively.
SCIENCE
AND
THEOLOGY
The
Creator
is a fairly neutral term
That
can
be bent in either
A
scientific
or a theological direction,
With
regard
to the First Cause or Jehovah.
It
seems
to hang between these two extremes,
Though
with
a bias towards the latter,
As
when
it is employed theologically,
As
though
synonymous with an old, grey-bearded figure
Who
rules
over the Cosmos.
Personally,
I
don't believe in any such Creator-God,
And
few
but the very backward or simpleminded
Have
any
use, these days, for the concept
Of
a
Creator-God, preferring not to think
Anthropomorphically
or
metaphorically about
The
origins
and/or originator of the Universe,
Or
a
particular part of it, like the Galaxy.
If
Jehovah
is an abstraction
From
some
primal root-creative force,
As
I
have little doubt He is, then
What
really
exists out there, in the starry cosmos,
Isn't
Jehovah
but the First Cause,
And
what
can that be if not
The
central
star of each galaxy?
Yes,
there
is a big, powerful, ruling star
At
the
heart of the Galaxy,
A
god-king
or tree-trunk equivalent,
And
that
is the source, knowingly or unknowingly,
From
which
the theological metaphor
Of
the
Creator, the Ancient of Days, the Maker,
The
Almighty,
etc., was extrapolated,
Just
as
the Fallen Angel closest to us,
Namely
the
Sun, is the source
From
which
Satan was extrapolated,
Theology
being
entitled to regard him
As
the
source of all evil in the world
By
dint
of the closer proximity, cosmically speaking,
Of
the
Sun to it, a proximity
That
leaves
the central star of the Galaxy
Comparatively
free-of-blame
And
therefore
entitled, in theological logic,
To
preferential
interpretation and greater respect,
Just
as
monarchs, no matter how evil or incompetent,
Have
always
been accorded a higher status,
And
therefore
greater respect, than nobles,
Particularly
barons
- the rank of nobleman
Most
closely
approximating to the Sun
And
thus,
by theological implication, to the Devil.
For
the
Sun is a very minor star
On
the
edge of the Galaxy,
And
a
baron is a very minor aristocrat,
A
mere
thin-branch equivalent
In
that
mirror of the galactic order
And
blueprint
for the feudal order - a tree.
TREES
The
more
I look at and think about trees,
The
more
disgusted I become!
Trees
may
appear beautiful and noble to some people,
Mostly
country-dwellers,
But
to
me they are ugly and ignoble
Because
indicative
of tyranny and exploitation,
The
leaves
so many slaves of the trunk and branches
Of
the
tree-proper, feeding it
With
energy
from the sun and moisture from the air,
Leaves
sucked
dry by the rapacious tree.
No,
I
don't like trees, for I see in them
The
prototype
of the feudal-world-order
Of
peasants
exploited by aristocrats,
Whether
high-
or low-ranking,
And
the
Few accordingly thriving
At
the
Many's expense
In
a
thoroughly diabolical, subnatural
system -
One
sanctioned
not only by trees but,
Originally
and
primarily, by the stellar roots
Of
evolution
in the Cosmos.
What
were
the peasantry
In
relation
to their aristocratic lords -
Good,
bad,
less bad?
Probably
'less
bad' is
The
most
objective description
Of
a
class implicated in a pagan absolutism
And
corresponding,
in their subjection,
To
planets
and leaves.
One
might
say demons as opposed to devils,
And
to
anyone who looks at a tree objectively,
Rather
than
through the distorting lens
Of
a
feudal sympathy, leaves must appear demonic
And
branches
positively devilish.
As
to
the trunk, 'divine' could only
Be
applied
to it in the very relative,
Spiritually
fundamentalist
sense of Creator,
As
when
one distinguishes Jehovah from Satan
Or
king
from peers.
So
anyone
with the least shred
Of
spiritual
subjectivity would have no option
But
to
perceive in it
The
theocratic
autocracy
That
gets
the lion's share of the booty,
Since
bigger
and stronger than everything else.
LESS
GOOD
BUT STILL GOOD
Just
as
peasants in a traditional feudal system
Were
less
bad than the aristocracy
But
still
bad, so, conversely, the meritocracy
In
a
revolutionary Centrist system would be
Less
good
than the superfolk but still
good,
And
therefore
not identifiable with tyranny
Or
its attenuated bourgeois successor
In
...
parliamentary government.
Rather,
they
would be as angels to gods,
And
one
could speak of guidance or administration
In
connection
with their serving duties
Vis-à-vis
the
saved majority.
Of
course,
the Leader would be
No-less
distinct
from the meritocracy
Than
(was)
the Ruler from the aristocracy,
Since
entitled
to a separate divine status,
Only
one
whose derivation
Is
subjective
rather than objective,
Corresponding
to
the Holy Spirit
Rather
than
to the Father,
Since
devolving
upon the Second Coming,
And
hence
constituting a Messianic sovereignty
More
good,
if anything, than 'the Good'.
And
yet,
it is the People, not the Leader
Or
his
closest followers,
Who
must
evolve towards pure spirit;
For
the
Leader will be complete in himself.
LOVES
Brotherly
love
is the ideal
Of
the
A
positive
emotionality diffused
Throughout
Christian
humanity
And
thereby
rendered impersonal.
Love
for
another person
In
a
non-diffused positive emotionality
Is,
by
contrast, the reality
Of
the
An
impure
love of the sexes,
Possessive
and
selective,
Attractive
and
reactive.
Free
love,
however, is the reality
Of
the
And
it
signifies a 'fall' from
The
non-diffused
emotional love for another person
Of
the
neutron-wavicle Church
To
the
diffused bodily love
Of
sexual
promiscuity
In
a
love of other selves which, at the level
Of
the
electron-
A
non-diffused
love of phenomenal self.
Spiritual
love
is, by contrast,
The
ideal
of the electron-wavicle
Centre,
A
love
of noumenal self
That
yet
transcends the individual
In
the
collective consciousness of pure mind.
If
love
for another
Is
the
neutron-wavicle relativity,
Then
love
of noumenal self
Is
the
electron-wavicle absolutism,
With
the
neutron-particle relativity
Of
free-loving
phenomenalism
And
the
electron-particle absolutism
Of
love
of phenomenal self coming in-between.
SUPERFICIAL
PARALLEL
It
is
tempting to see a parallel,
In
the
Irish and Spanish Civil Wars,
Between
Nationalism
and Republicanism,
But
such
a parallel would be, at best,
Superficial,
at
worst downright misleading!
Whereas
the
Irish Nationalists
Were
also
republicans
And
the
Republicans also nationalists,
The
Spanish
Republicans weren't nationalists
Nor
the
Nationalists republicans.
Unlike
the
Spanish Civil War,
The
Irish
Civil War didn't signify
A
fascist/communist
dichotomy but, rather,
Two
shades
of republican Nationalism -
Soft
and
hard, gradual and immediate,
Evolutionary
and
revolutionary.
The
split
in Sinn Fein over the Treaty
Led
to
fratricidal strife between
Pro-Treaty
Free
Staters
And
Anti-Treaty
Irregulars,
And
although
the former eventually triumphed,
Leaving
Within
the
The
proclamation
of a republic
Was
later
engineered by descendants
Of
the
Free Staters who,
Unlike
hard-line
republicans,
Were
resigned,
under Costello, to
A
twenty-six
county republic.
Imagine,
if
you can, Franco proclaiming a republic,
And
one
sees how far apart
The
antagonists
of the Spanish Civil War
Were
from
those of the Irish one!
HISTORICAL
VALUE
Being
neither
nationalist nor republican,
I
have
little sympathy for either side
In
the
Irish Civil War; though I believe
That,
under
the prevailing circumstances,
The
Free
Staters were effectively right,
Since
an
Irish republic embracing
The
whole
of
Of
a
pipe dream now than it was then,
And,
besides,
the British were implacably opposed
To
the
32-county Republican ideal.
To
me,
both republican Nationalism
And
nationalist
Republicanism
Are
inadequate
for solving the
Which
demands
not a democratic
But
a
radically theocratic approach,
Commensurate
with
Social Transcendentalism
And
the
establishment in Eire
Of
an
Irish Social Transcendental Centre,
The
first
of a number of such Centres
That
would
eventually form a world-wide federation
Of
supra-national
peoples.
Nationalism,
like
Republicanism, is limited
To
a
given span of evolutionary time, corresponding
To
an
atomic age, and it has to be
admitted that,
Due
to
historical circumstances, the Irish came late
To
both
Nationalism and Republicanism -
At
the
tail-end, so to speak, of the nationalist age.
Consequently,
to
regard either Nationalism
Or
Republicanism
as ideals worthy of eternal sanction
Is
a
serious mistake since, in effect,
They
are
distinctly temporal.
Better
to
regard them as means to a higher end -
Namely
the
attainment of
The
most
radically theocratic absolutism -
Than
to
treat them as ends in themselves.
Better
not
to unduly compromise
With
democratic
procedure and tradition -
More
suited,
in any case, to peoples
Like
the
British and the Americans - than
To
take
them to heart and/or
Seek
to
push democracy in a more radical direction.
Better
the
minimum compromise
That
permits
one the maximum theocratic freedom,
And
thus
facilitates progress towards
A
truly
Irish ideological integrity ...
Albeit
one
capable of wider global application.
The
modicum
of political freedom
In
which
to manoeuvre and subsequently engineer
The
higher
end - therein, it seems to me, lies
The
historical
value of the
ULTIMATE
CLASS
The
upper
class are inherently autocratic,
The
middle
class inherently democratic,
And
the
lower class inherently bureaucratic.
Evolution
proceeds
from the first to the last,
Who
are
only 'lower' in relation to the others,
Since,
objectively
considered, potentially
If
not
actually superior to them ...
On
account
of their environmentally
And
socially
more-evolved constitutions.
The
upper
class stem from the Father,
The
middle
class acknowledge the Son,
While
the
lower class aspire -
If
intermittently
and rather indirectly ...
In
terms
of the Virgin Mary - towards
the Holy Spirit.
Now
because
in the future there should be
Neither
autocratic
nor democratic classes,
The
lower
class will be the only class
And,
consequently,
not lower at all
But
an
ultimate class, germane to
The
theocratic
absolutism of a transcendental age.
When
the
people ultimately triumph over
Both
the
aristocracy and the bourgeoisie,
The
age
of theocracy will be upon us.
Thus
will
humanity attain to its zenith,
Though
less
in the guise
Of
the
bureaucratic proletariat than
In
that
of the theocratic superfolk -
The
ultimate
manifestation of the People.
SMOKING
POLITICS
It
is
well-known that smoking
Isn't
good
for the health,
But
it
may not be generally appreciated
That
smoking,
no less than politics, is divisible
Into
left-
and right-wing manifestations,
With
the
corollary of subnatural,
natural,
Antinatural,
and supernatural distinctions,
A
corollary
presupposing
Roll-ups
and
cigarettes on the one hand,
But
cigars
and pipes on the other,
The
former
left wing, the latter right.
Yes,
there
is a communist equivalent
To
the
smoking of a roll-up,
And
if
this is subnaturalistic,
Then
the
smoking of a cigarette is naturalistic,
And
thus
rather more liberal.
By
contrast
to cigarettes, cigars suggest
A
conservative
equivalent,
A
moderate
antinaturalism which is
transcended
In
the
supernaturalism of a pipe,
That
fascist
equivalent.
DOPE
SMOKING
Fundamentally
the
smoking of roll-ups
Is
an
autocratic habit,
Cigarette
smoking
a bureaucratic habit,
Cigar
smoking
a democratic habit,
And
pipe
smoking a theocratic habit.
Smoking
'joints',
on the other hand,
Is
fundamentally
a quasi-theocratic habit,
On
account
of the anti-supernatural status
Of
'joints'
as extended roll-ups with dope,
Whereas
the
smoking of dope in a pipe
Confers
a
supernatural status
Commensurate
with
a pseudo-theocratic habit.
DRINKING
AND
SMOKING
There
is
something bourgeois about
A
drink/smoke
dichotomy, as though
Indulgence
of
both alcohol and
tobacco
confirmed
An
antinatural/subnatural
relativity,
Applicable
to
an atomic age.
Those
who
are not subnatural
But
antinatural ... will only drink.
Those
who
are not antinatural
But
subnatural ... will only smoke.
The
first
category will drink canned beer,
The
second
category … roll their own
cigarettes,
With
or
without dope.
In
between
will come the beer/tobacco compromise
Of
antinatural/subnatural atomists,
A
compromise
never more democratic
Than
when
the beer is in pint glasses
And
the
tobacco in cigars,
Though
still
existing
On
the
relatively bureaucratic level
Of
bottled
beer and cigarettes.
Anyway,
if
drinking is antinatural
And
smoking
subnatural,
The
one
corresponding to a wavicle
equivalent,
The
other
to a particle equivalent,
Then
we
need not hesitate
To
equate
eating with a natural absolutism
And
sniffing,
by contrast,
With
a
supernatural absolutism,
The
one
preceding alcohol
In
the
atomic-particle age of the Kingdom,
The
other
destined to succeed tobacco
In
the
electron-wavicle age of the
Centre,
Eating
as
confirmation
Of
a
kind of atomic relativity
Between
eater
and eaten,
Sniffing
as
confirmation
Of
a
kind of electron absolutism
Between
sniffer and thing sniffed.
SMOKING
AND
SNIFFING
If
eating
to get high
Pertains
to
the bureaucratic Kingdom,
And
drinking
to get high
Pertains
to
the democratic Church,
Then
smoking
to get high
Pertains
to
the autocratic State
And
sniffing
to get high
Pertains
to
the theocratic Centre.
Eating
and
drinking
Are
natural
and antinatural,
Whereas
smoking
and sniffing
Are
subnatural and supernatural.
If
eating
is barbarous and drinking civilized,
Then
smoking
is uncivilized
And
sniffing
supercivilized.
Human
evolution
proceeds, we needn't doubt,
From
the
first to the last,
With
all
due compromises coming in-between,
And
should
eventually culminate
In
a
kind of sniffing absolutism,
With
eating,
drinking, and smoking
Beneath
the
pale of its future theocratic integrity.
People
of
the Centrist civilization
Won't
eat
and/or drink as freely
As
people
do in a bureaucratic/democratic society,
But
will
become increasingly partial
To
the
use of vitamin tablets and/or capsules
...
As
appropriate
to an age of sniffing,
An
alternative
rather than supplement
To
natural
foods and drinks.
Smoking
tobacco
will be no less irrelevant
Than
drinking
alcohol,
And
if
any smoking were to be permitted
During
the
lower phase of a Centrist age ...
It
could
only be in the guise
Of
dope-smoking
through pipes,
As
symptomatic
of a pseudo-theocratic bias.
DUAL
CELEBRATION
Just
as
Roman Catholicism celebrates Mass
With
the
body and blood of Christ
Duly
transmuted
into the wafer and wine,
So
Social
Transcendentalism should celebrate,
In
officially
coming to pass,
The
dual
sides of its spiritual integrity
Through
recourse
to both 'acid' and 'coke',
Or
some
harmless derivative thereof,
The
one
symptomatic of its 'social' (bureaucratic) side,
The
other
symptomatic
Of
its
'transcendental' (theocratic) side -
The
former
preponderant over the latter ...
As
is
the wafer over the wine
In
the
celebration of Mass.
For
the
wine is transmuted paganism,
The
'Roman'
side of Roman Catholicism,
Whereas
the
wafer is properly Catholic,
Corresponding
more
universally
To
the
Mother than to the Father.
It
is
the wafer rather than the wine
That
confers
a truly Catholic bias.
Likewise
it
should be the 'acid'
Rather
than
the 'coke' (mainly reserved,
in
any case, for spiritual leaders ...
as
a symbolic intimation
of
properly meditative futurity
within
a drug-based culture)
That
confers
a truly social one.
INTIMATION
In
the
late-twentieth century, the nearest thing
To
a
meditation centre and, by implication,
The
Social
Transcendentalist culture
That
could
be associated with it ...
Was
a
Rock concert, particularly when indoors
And
associated
with light shows and synthetic drugs.
Such
concerts
were especially prevalent during
The
late
1960s and early 1970s,
Before
Rock
succumbed to Punk,
But
some
Rock still prevailed in the 1990s,
And
there
was also Jazz to serve the same
purpose -
Essentially
one
of religious aspiration
And
cultural
self-realization.
One
could
argue that these psychedelic concerts
Intimated
of
future meditation centres,
Much
as
though they were unofficial manifestations
Of
theocratic
Centrism in a state age,
The
participants
effectively outsiders
Within
the
existing civilization,
Their
penchant
for synthetic drugs illegal
From
a
state point-of-view,
Their
culture
unofficial,
Caught
between
two ages,
Tail-ending
the
democratic and intimating
Of
the
future theocratic,
Somewhat
in
the position of early Christians
Vis-à-vis
the
pagan status quo,
Frowned
upon
by the Establishment,
All
those
'straights' who related to democratic,
Not
to
say autocratic, tradition,
The
great
middle-class masses of Western civilization,
Who
would
never 'trip' or 'snort' or do anything -
Sexually,
socially,
or otherwise - that wasn't
Psychically
middle-of-the-road
And
hence
broadly intellectual.
How
they
loathed those who were morally better
And
more
spiritually courageous than themselves,
All
those
'freaks' that they preferred,
In
their
democratic ignorance of higher criteria,
To
regard
as socially worse and less intelligent -
The
evil
'lower class' of an alternative culture,
A
counter-culture
to which they remained
Both
deaf
and blind, imprisoned within
The
inner
darkness of their purgatorial lunacy,
Shut
off,
like Dante's damned in blocks of ice, from
The
liberating
spirituality of the inner light!
FREAKS
No-one
would
pretend that 'freaks'
Were
in
a majority in the lower class;
For
they
are conspicuously a tiny minority
Compared
with
that great mass of philistines
Who
constitute
the proletarian generality.
Undoubtedly
the
most culturally precocious members
Of
their
class, they are the type
From
whom
a future leadership could be drawn,
A
type
who are civilized ...
On
their
own outsider's terms
In
advance
of the generality
And
who,
once in power,
Would
transmit
their culture to the masses
And
thus
make them more civilized in due turn,
Having
first
pioneered the way
In
an
unofficial capacity
Within
the
church/state civilization
And
acquired
a knowledge of and allegiance to
The
transcendental
culture to-come.
But
by
a curious paradox
Their
future
role would place them
Outside
the
mainstream culture of the People.
For
you
cannot transmit culture
And
be
civilized at the same time.
What
you
gain on the unofficial roundabout
You
must
lose on the official swings.
Civilized
in
advance of the masses,
You
cannot
be civilized with
them.
DISCS
AND
TAPES
Whereas
long-playing
records correspond,
In
the
outer darkness of their stylus naturalism,
To
a
centrist political equivalent,
Video
tapes
correspond, in the outer light
Of
their
filmic subnaturalism,
To
a
left-wing political equivalent,
Whilst
audio
tapes correspond, in the inner darkness
Of
their
intellectual antinaturalism,
To
a
right-wing political equivalent.
Hence
'liberal'
albums,
'Social
democratic'
video tapes,
And
'conservative'
audio tapes.
But
as
alternatives to these democratic media
Of
sound
reproduction are the bureaucratic media
Of
outer-darkness
singles,
Inner-darkness
tape
recorders,
And
inner-light
compact discs,
With
left-wing,
centrist, and right-wing implications
Corresponding
to
socialist, ecologist,
And
feminist
positions that contrast (disc with tape
and
tape with disc) to the democratic positions
above,
As
though
in a particle/wavicle
antagonism
Between
hard
and soft options,
Singles
naturalistically
hard
Whereas
video
tapes are subnaturalistically
soft,
Tape
recorders
anti-naturalistically soft
Whereas
LPs
are naturalistically hard,
Compact
discs
supernaturalistically hard
Whereas
audio
tapes are anti-naturalistically soft.
CENTRIST
EVOLUTION
As
appearance
gives way to essence
In
the
overall evolution of human life,
So
must
Social Transcendentalism eventually
Be
superseded
by Super-transcendentalism,
In
order
that the second and higher phase
Of
Centrist
civilization may come to pass
And
bring
Centrism to maturity,
Through
the
purest meditation,
In
the
ripe wisdom of a beingful essence.
This
meditation
of the noumenal self
upon itself
Will
supersede
contemplation of the other in the self,
Pure
transcendentalism
superseding
The
impure
transcendentalism of the hallucinogenic trip,
Just
as,
in the Christian West, puritanical Protestantism
Superseded
visionary
Catholicism
In
the
evolution of Christianity
From
appearance
to essence, doing to being.
Phases
cannot
be escaped, and if the second phase
Of
Centrism
must wait until the first phase
Has
properly
run its course, then so be it!
GIVE
AND
TAKE
Are
you
a giving or a taking man, one with
A
bias
for the Father or for the Holy Spirit,
Or
are
you both giving and taking
In
approximately
equal degrees,
Somewhere
in
between the absolutes
In
a
Christian relativity?
The
sun
gives light and trees bear fruit,
But
pure
spirit would only partake
Of
its
own blissful being,
As
would
the supra-beings
Of
the
preceding post-Human Millennium.
The
further
man evolves the less he gives
And
the
more he takes, thereby
Approximating
to
the goal of evolution
In
passive
self-containment.
Doing,
by
contrast, is more connected
With
giving
than taking,
And
the
active are usually those who give the most.
If
to
give is your bias, know that there is
A
higher
ideal in taking, especially in partaking of the self,
And
that
the taking man is potentially, if not actually,
A
morally
superior and more evolved type of being,
Not
the
good-for-nothing rogue he may at first appear!
Eventually,
there
will be no giving but only taking
Or,
rather,
partaking of pure mind.
TELEVISION
AND
VIDEO
As
discs
to tapes, so television to video,
The
one
autocratic and the other democratic,
Extreme
and
moderate left-wing alternatives,
With
the
former corresponding
To
a
communist equivalent, and the latter ...
To
a
social democratic one,
Television
the
outer-light subnaturalism,
Relative
to
autocracy, of the communist State;
Video
the
outer-light subnaturalism,
Relative
to
democracy, of the social democratic State.
SEASONS
Spring
and
autumn are Christian seasons,
The
one
corresponding to the instinctual side of Christ,
The
other
to His spiritual side,
Spring
a
kind of diluted summer,
Autumn
...
a diluted winter,
Semi-pagan
and
semi-transcendental respectively.
Summer
and
winter, however, are the pagan
And
transcendental
seasons, corresponding
To
the
Father and to the Holy Ghost.
Summer
draws
one closer to Hell,
The
burning
heat of the sun scorching the flesh
And
stultifying
the mind.
Winter,
by
contrast, draws one closer to Heaven,
The
sun
at too great a distance to be of any real menace,
The
icy
air freezing the flesh and quickening the mind.
Which
is
better - to burn or to freeze?
The
flesh
prefers the former,
And
most
people regret the passing of summer,
Their
bodies
attuned to its heathen warmth
And
their
senses gratified by nature's pagan show,
The
season
a holiday from transcendental morals
And
puritanical
obligations.
Winter,
then,
is a negative thing,
The
bitter
inclemencies unmoved by human
woe,
Indifferent
to
human want.
Rare
is
the man who is grateful for
winter,
Who
sees
in the gentler sun
A
reprieve
from pagan tyranny,
Whose
mind
dominates the flesh
And
can
regard its revolt
With
icy
contempt or indifference,
Preferring
the
season of the mind.
Such
a
man is not Christian, still less pagan,
But
transcendental,
transvaluated within
himself
And
living
not in the mind for the body,
But
in
the body for the mind.
If,
at
present, this man is the exception,
In
the
future he will become the rule -
Unafraid
of
winter, contemptuous of the sun!
THEOCRACY
FULL-BLOWN
Supertheocracy
is no mere Christian theocracy,
As
applying
to the spiritual side of Christ,
But
the
full-blown transcendental theocracy
Of
the
Second Coming, the theocracy
Not
of
the Church but of the Centre.
Supertheocracy
appertains to the Supermen,
Those
hypertripping Supernaturalists
In
the
Social Transcendentalist phase
Of
the
Centrist civilization to come.
Supra-theocracy
appertains
to the Supra-men,
Those
hypermeditating Supra-naturalists
In
the
purely transcendental phase
Of
the
Centrist civilization, antithetically
Equivalent
to
the puritanical phase
Of
the
Christian civilization.
For
whereas
Puritanism signified
A
neutron-wavicle equivalent,
Pure
transcendentalism
will signify
An
electron-wavicle equivalent,
Eventually
leading
to the first
Of
two
ultimate life forms - namely
The
Superbeings of the post-Human
Millennium.
Supertheocracy
in the Centrist civilization
Has
its
parallel in the succeeding millennium,
And
so,
likewise, does Supra-theocracy.
The
cultivation
of pure spirit proceeds
From
an
indirect to a direct approach,
As
from
appearance to essence.
Supertheocracy
will be contemplative,
Albeit
on
the most artificial terms.
Supra-theocracy
will
be meditative on the purest terms,
The
wavicle absolutism of the mind
aware.
Awareness
and
ever greater awareness - that is
The
air-stimulated
challenge of evolution!
LITERARY
PROGRESS
Playwright,
novelist,
philosopher, poet -
The
secular
playwright more prevalent
In
the
alpha of civilized evolution
Than
in
the age of Christianity,
When
the
Catholic playwright came into his own
And,
superseding
the Roman Catholic scholastics,
With
their
attenuated philosophy and medieval theosophy,
Brought
atomic
writing to its wavicle
climax,
Before
the
Protestant playwright attenuated the genre
Through
secularization,
permitting emergence
Of
the
liberal novel, with its dualistic integrity,
A
dramatic/philosophic
compromise
Soon
to
be challenged, and transcended, by
The
philosophical
absolutism
Of
the
socialist novel, or antinovel,
Preparatory
to
the eclipse of the novel
By
practical
philosophy,
Beyond
which
only the anti-supernovel
Of
a
poetic bias can apply, before,
Last
but
scarcely least, the pure poet emerges
With
the
omega of civilized evolution,
To
bring
electron writing to its wavicle
climax
In
the
purest poetry of a theocratic impression,
An
intimation
of the Holy Spirit
In
the
contemplative peace that surpasses all intellectuality.
CENTRIST
FREEDOM
Socialism,
whether
democratic or totalitarian,
May
constitute
an antithetical equivalent to
The
aristocratic
enslavement of feudal autocracy,
Being
the
electron-particle counterpart
To
proton-particle
materialism,
But
it
isn't the end, in economic terms, of
The
evolutionary
road.
For
no
less than an atomic-wavicle
equivalent
Is
entitled
to its economic freedom,
So
an
electron-wavicle equivalent
Is
entitled
to its
economic
freedom
In
meritocratic Centrism,
Which
pertains
to the Second Coming
And
to
the Centrist ideology
Of
Social
Transcendentalism,
In
what
could be described as Centre guidance,
Whereby
the
meritocracy decide how money
Is
to
be spent and/or raised
In
the
interests of supertheocratic
freedom.
ECONOMIC
DISTINCTIONS
The
main
economic distinction is between
Particle
enslavement
and wavicle
freedom,
Or
aristocratic
feudalism
And
bureaucratic
socialism on the one hand,
But
plutocratic
capitalism
And
meritocratic centrism on the other
hand,
The
bureaucratic
leading to the meritocratic
No
less
than the aristocratic led to the plutocratic,
Albeit
not,
in each case, without a struggle,
Nor,
indeed,
without intermediate compromises.
If
a
proton-particle equivalent
Is
aristocratic
in relation to
An
atomic-wavicle equivalent, its
plutocratic successor,
Then
an
electron-particle equivalent
Will
be
bureaucratic in relation to
An
electron-wavicle equivalent, its meritocratic successor.
Only
the
wavicle equivalent, whether
moderate or extreme,
Plutocratic
or
meritocratic, represents
economic freedom.
But
only
an extreme wavicle equivalent
Can
represent
the highest freedom ...
Of
a
meritocratic Centrism.
ULTIMATE
CENTRIST
FREEDOM
Social
Transcendentalism
is intended to signify
A
compromise
between bureaucracy and meritocracy,
State
planning
and Centre guidance,
With
an
emphasis on the latter ...
In
accordance
with the wavicle bias
Of
this
supertheocratic ideology,
Which
necessarily
transcends socialism in
The
name
of Centrist freedom,
In
order
that the way may be prepared
For
the
ultimate Centrist freedom
Of
the
absolutely wavicle age to follow
-
The
supra-theocratic
age of pure Centrism.
PROTONS
AND
ELECTRONS
Protons
are
self-assertive,
Electrons
self-transcending.
Protons
are
autocratic, electrons theocratic.
Protons
are
centrifugal, electrons centripetal.
Protons
are
subnatural, electrons
supernatural.
Protons
are
the Kingdom, electrons the Centre.
Protons
are
fundamentally particles,
Electrons
essentially
wavicles.
Protons
precede
electrons,
Then
protons
and electrons coexist,
With
the
help of neutrons,
In
an
atomic compromise,
After
which
electrons supersede protons.
Electron
particles
are less materialistic
Than
proton
particles.
Electron
wavicles are more
spiritualistic
Than
proton
wavicles.
Proton
materialism
is natural
But
electron
materialism is antinatural.
Proton
spirituality
is subnatural
But
electron
spirituality is supernatural.
Proton
spirituality
is pseudo because apparent,
Electron
materialism
is pseudo because synthetic.
The
genuine
is at the beginning of materialism
And
at
the end of spirituality,
Alpha
of
the world and omega of the spirit.
OVERCOMING
MAN
Man's
Final
End isn't in God ...
As
unified
pure spirit set in space,
But
in
the Superbeings of millennial
futurity,
That
post-human
epoch in time
Which
more
accords with Eternity.
Man's
Final
Overcoming is in the first
Of
our
two projected post-human life forms -
The
artificially-supported
and sustained
Brain
collectivizations of the Superbeings,
Who
will
be as much above transcendental man
As
tree-living
apes were beneath pagan man,
Being
a
completely separate species of life,
Not
beastly
but divine, not animals but gods,
Knowing
little
of and caring nothing for
The
world
of man, that passing show
In
between
pre- and post-human life forms,
Never
more
strictly itself than
In
a
Christian, humanist stage
Of
its
painful evolution, when man
Was
the
relative measure of all things relatively.
Even
the
Supermen in the first stage
Of
ultimate
human civilization,
The
Centrist
civilization of a transcendental age,
Will
attest
to man's overcoming
To
the
relative degree of post-humanist affiliation,
An
affiliation
that will become
More
radically
post-humanist with the second stage
Of
Centrist
evolution in hypermeditating
Supra-men,
A
pre-millennial
stage that will lead
To
the
Millennium-proper, and so
To
man's
ultimate overcoming
In
hypertripping Superbeings,
who
in
turn
Will
be
overcome and superseded
By
hypermeditating Supra-beings
In
the
second stage of the post-Human Millennium,
The
pre-heavenly
stage leading directly
To
the
Beyond of spaced-up pure spirit.
ALLEGIANCES
It
makes
a lot of difference whether
You
are
for the Father, the Son, or the Holy Ghost.
Some
people,
even now, are for the Father,
And
are
thus effectively neo-pagan.
Some
people
are still for the Son, being
Of
that
diehard core of genuine Christians.
Some
people
are neither for the Father
Nor
for
the Son but ... the Antichrist,
And
are
thus effectively communistic, favouring
The
abandonment
of all religious traditions.
Other
people,
who vary in numbers
From
country
to country, are for the Second Coming,
Being
of
the opinion that only he can lead the way
For
the
rebirth of religion
In
an
aspiration towards the Holy Ghost.
Some
people,
even now, are for the Holy Ghost,
And
are thus effectively
proto-transcendentalist,
Consciously
dedicated
to tripping
And/or
meditating
in hope
Of
an
approximation to pure mind.
These
alone
aspire towards the truly divine,
And,
in
time, they will be joined by many more!
CHURCH
AND
STATE
A
liberal
democracy, such as exists in
Is
effectively
a compromise between church and state,
The
Conservatives
aligned with the
Left-wing
parties
aligned with the socialist State,
A
kind
of political tug-of-war ensuing
Between
the
two which, however, is never resolved,
There
being
no will on the Left for a state absolutism,
All
parties
implicated in the atomic relativity
Of
a
liberal democracy.
The
Labour
Party may be anti-democratic in essence,
But
only
within the relative context of liberalism,
Not
on
any absolute basis.
Conversely,
the
Liberal Democrats, while being
In
essence
democratic, are more radically so
Than
their
Liberal forerunners.
Being
democratic
does of course imply
One's
favouring
a mixed, and hence relative, economy,
Whether
in
terms of a balance between
The
private
and public sectors, as in Liberalism,
Or
in
terms of an oscillation between the private
And
public
sectors, as in Liberal Democracy,
Whereas
the
'anti-democratic' Labour Party
Have
traditionally
favoured the public sector alone,
And
thus
endeavoured to nationalize
As
much
as possible whilst in office,
In
contrast
to the privatizing Tories,
With
whom
they were in bitter conflict.
If
capitalism
and Protestantism slot together,
Then
so
do socialism and communism,
But
the
democratic socialists aren't nearly
As
communist
as left-wing Marxists, who are
Outside
the
pale of the liberal compromise -
Upholders
of
a state absolutism.
CHURCH
ABSOLUTISM
The
Extreme
Right have no more in common
With
the
Conservatives than
The
Extreme
Left ... with the Liberals.
Both
fascism
and communism are outside the pale
Of
a
church/state compromise,
The
one
tending to signify a church absolutism,
The
other
... a state absolutism,
Albeit,
in
both cases, very different churches
And
states
from those pertaining to liberal civilization.
If
fascism
falls short of conceiving
The
religious
successor to the Church ... in the Centre,
It
at
least undermines the State
And
intimates,
in its paradoxical way, of
A
higher
possibility.
Hitler's
Reich
wasn't so much a state (which
in
any case is implicated in republicanism) as a
Crude
and
bogus Centre,
One
opposed
to all republicanism
And,
by
implication, democratic sovereignty.
A
'Centre'
without the truth, fascism
An
extreme
right-wing antithesis to communism
Which,
in
its Marxist purism, is without
The
Leninist
'State' or, more correctly,
As
formerly
applying to Soviet Communism.
No
less
than Bolshevism was beyond Marxism ...
Social
Transcendentalism
is beyond fascism,
Being
the
ideology of the Second Coming,
The
logical
successor to Christianity.
And
no
less than Soviet Communism weakened
The
totalitarian
State, or Bolshevik pseudo-Kingdom,
Through
the
infusion of pseudo-democracy,
So
Social
Transcendentalism would
Strengthen
the
Centre, until, ultimately,
Nothing
but
the Centre remained,
Transcendentalism
having
eclipsed
Even
the
'social' side, or transmuted state-aspect,
Of
Social
Transcendentalism.
SPORT
If
medieval
Christians could be raised
From
the
dead and then confronted
By
the
amount of sporting activity which
The
contemporary
world takes for granted,
They
would
probably be horrified
And
quickly
elect to return to their graves again!
For
such
Christians would surely think
They
had
been returned, in time, to
An
age
of pagan physicality,
When
bodily
strength counted for everything
And
the
spirit, by contrast, for next-to-nothing!
For
what
is
this recrudescence
Of
physical
competition to which
The
modern
world is especially partial
If
not
a kind of neo-pagan materialism,
Symptomatic
of
an intensive decadence
Peculiar
to
the age of the State?
Anyone
who
knew anything about the atom
Could
be
left in no doubt
That
neutron
and electron particles
Had
conclusively
triumphed over neutron wavicles
In
the
establishment of an anti-natural athleticism,
The
antithetical
equivalent to proton subnaturalism.
Yes,
artificial
physicality has triumphed,
Whether
on
the racing track or on the football field,
The
golf
course or the cricket pitch,
The
The
gym
floor or the ice-skating rink,
In
the
swimming pool or in the boxing ring.
While
some
sport is still predominantly subnatural,
And
thus
literally neo-pagan, most of it
Is
artificial,
and thus strictly contemporary.
But
it
is all somehow symptomatic of state decadence,
And
sometimes
it is no less fatalistic
Than
in
the gladiatorial age of the barbaric ancients.
Mostly,
however,
it is relatively harmless
From
the
physical point-of-view, since
Electron
equivalents
are more disposed
To
attraction
than to reaction, and they
Tend
to
preponderate over anachronisms.
But,
still,
it all leaves something
To
be
desired from a spiritual point-of-view,
And
you
can take it from me
That
if
the state-oriented present is ever overcome,
And
a
new civilization duly developed,
There
will
be far less sporting activity around
In
the
future, such little as remains
Being
largely,
if not exclusively, sedentary and artificial,
Requiring
no
more than one player,
And
he
mainly a spectator.
OMEGA
MILLENNIUM
The
Millennium
for me is a period in time
Beyond
man
and before ... Heaven,
A
post-human
period that succeeds
The
last
stage of human civilization
In
the
free-electron absolutism of Centrism,
As
applying
to the Supermen and Supra-men
Of
the
coming transcendental age.
Since
these
are earmarked to succeed
The
Catholic
and Protestant men
Of
the
Christian age, so will they be superseded
By
the
Superbeings and Supra-beings
Of
the
post-Human Millennium,
Who
will
in turn be superseded
By
the
Spiritual Globes
Of
the
post-Millennial Beyond.
Prior
to
Christian men, we find the submen
In
the
pagan age of proton absolutism,
And
they
signified a 'fall' from the moral innocence
Of
tree-living
apes in 'the Garden'
Of
the
pre-human period in time,
Which
we
can classify as the Alpha Millennium,
A
truly
subnatural absolutism
Of
apes
in branches and, prior to that,
Leaves
on
trees, which were preceded
By
the
Instinctual Globes of stars,
Whether
large,
medium, or small,
Unregenerate
or
cooling.
So
just
as transcendental men will be
Antithetical
to
the men of pagan antiquity,
So
the
Superbeings of the Omega
Millennium
Will
be
antithetical to the apes, or submen,
Of
the
Alpha Millennium, and the Supra-beings thereof
Likewise
antithetical
to its trees or, rather, leaves,
Which
we
can classify as sub-beings,
If
only
to distinguish them from apes.
However,
it
is towards the Omega Millennium
Instead
of
back towards the Alpha Millennium
That
man
is slowly advancing,
And
when
he eventually gets there
His
final
overcoming will be for real,
With
only
a comparatively small number
Of
men
remaining to engineer the creation
And
supervise
the physical and spiritual wellbeing,
Of
his
god-like successors.
BEHIND
AND
BEYOND
Stages
in
the Behind leading
From
the
first-cause central star
Of
any
particular galaxy to sun-type
Peripheral
stars,
and from there to planets,
As
from
the Alpha Absolute ...
Of
a
universal instinctual globe
To
galactic
and planetary instinctual globes -
Creators,
devils,
and demons,
In
decreasing
sizes proportionately.
Contrast
this
to stages
In
our
projected Beyond, leading
From
planetary
and galactic spiritual globes
To
the
universal spiritual globe ...
Of
the
Omega Absolute -
As
from
the Many and Few to the One,
With
increases
in size proportionately,
As
convergence
and expansion take
Their
divinely-ordained
course in the depths of space,
From
planetary
spiritual globes,
Each
one
arising from a Supra-being
In
the
second stage of millennial evolution,
To
the
larger galactic spiritual globes,
Antithetical
to
suns, until culmination
Is
achieved
in the universal spiritual globe ...
Of
the
Omega Absolute,
As
the
end-product of all previous
Convergences
and
expansions,
The
complete
antithesis to the Alpha Absolute
At
the
centre of each galaxy,
The
Creator-equivalent
with
Its
wavicle proton-proton reactions, not
one but ...
Thousands
of
them all over the Universe,
The
source
from which smaller stars 'fell',
To
diverge
and contract
In
diabolic
apartness of particle friction,
The
infernal
Behind of cosmic devolution,
Competition
cosmos-without-end.
Astronomy
and
astrology are
Of
this
diabolic cosmos, the one physical
Or,
rather,
subphysical, and the other
occult,
Concerned
with
interpreting
The
instinctual
effects upon the human psyche
Of
stars
and planets, reflecting
Enslavement
to
subnatural determinism.
Higher
man,
closer to the Beyond than
To
the
Behind, scorns these diabolic disciplines,
Won't
have
anything to do with them.
He
knows
that the future won't have
Anything
to
do with them either,
Preferring
its
closed-society absolutism
Of
an
aspiration towards the Beyond,
Dedicated,
through
Centrism, to the cultivation
Of
pure
spirit in free-electron attractions
Of
mind
to mind, a microcosmic approximation
To
subsequent
macrocosmic unification.
MARRIAGE
Marriage
is
a liberal bond
Between
church
and kingdom,
The
Virgin
and the Father transmuted,
Through
Christian
realism.
Woman
as
atomic-wavicle equivalent
And
man
as atomic-particle equivalent
During
the
act of procreation.
Soft
and
hard, hard into soft growing softer
Until
climax
eclipses both
In
the
most ecstatic sensation of physical soul!
Fear
of
descent into state promiscuity
At
the
heart of natural conservatism,
Its
roots
somewhere down in allegiance to nature.
No
divorce
if that encourages a split
Between
church
and state, and ...
Fans
the
flames of a state absolutism,
Antinaturalism
growing to the point
Of
exclusion
of woman from sex,
A
particle
materialism of homosexual males.
All
very
bad from the standpoint
Of
the
Catholic Church, sexual decadence
A
confirmation
of moral decline.
So
what's
to be done?
Stay
atomic
for ever, keeping people married
In
a
liberal compromise?
No,
evolution
demands its way,
Else
life
will perish in deathly stasis!
For
wavicle-biased peoples,
The
answer
is a new and higher wavicle
bias,
A
supernatural
sexuality that
Transcends
marriage,
being above atomic dualism
In
the
free-electron absolutism
Of
artificial
individual sex, as germane
To
a
Social Transcendentalist ideological integrity,
Each
person,
whether male or female,
Independent
of
the opposite sex,
Since
not
recognizing a sexual dichotomy,
A
plastic
inflatable or vibrator
The
physical
concomitant
Of
the
'social' side of the ideology,
A
refined
pornographic extremism, appertaining
To
computers,
the spiritual concomitant
Of
the
'transcendental' side
Of
this
relativistic absolutism,
The
supernatural
successors to both
Coital
and
oral sex - the pornographic
More
supra-natural
than supernatural. And babies?
Conceived,
as
before, by women, except that
The
seed
comes from sperm banks
And
is
artificially inseminated into
The
prospective
mother,
Thereby
transcending
the need for sexual materialism,
That
church/state
compromise, in a Centrist absolutism.
Oppose
the
antinatural if you will,
But
don't
regard the natural as worthy of eternal sanction,
World-without-coital-end.
The
true
evolutionist is a Supernaturalist,
Aligned
with
free-electron divinity.
He
who
is for the Holy Spirit is above marriage.
He
who
is for supertheocracy cannot be
bureaucratic
Or
democratic,
still less autocratic!
MONEY
WEALTH
Bank
notes
are to the State
What
gold
was to the Kingdom - confirmation
Of
a
materialist bias, a kind of focal-point
And
raison
d'être of business activity,
Attesting
to
the ideological stranglehold
Of
contemporary
economics over life,
Making
money
an ideal of the State
No
less
than finding gold was an ideal
Of
the
more materialistic Kingdom.
Have
you
ever noticed how obsessed
The
contemporary
world is with money,
Or
are
you too obsessed by it yourself
To
be
conscious of the world's obsession,
Taking
it
all for granted?
Speaking
as
a poet, I can only say that I have
noticed
The
contemporary
world's obsession with money
And
feel
truly disgusted by it!
Not
a
day passes without some media news
About
the
state of the pound
Against
foreign
currency (particularly the dollar),
News
of
stock-exchange values,
The
state
of the economy,
Wage
demands
or price controls,
Inflation
and
recession,
Bank
robberies
or pools jackpots,
Liquidations
and
amalgamations,
Savings
deposits
and interest rates,
Losses
and
profits,
Public
expenditure
or private investment,
Taxes
and
fines,
Budgets
and
price increases,
The
sinking
value of this
Against
the
rising value of that, and so on ...
To
the
greater material glory of the State,
That
modern
Moloch which devours the
spirit
In
the
name of the flesh,
The
poor
in the interests of the rich,
Making
wealth
the contemporary ideal,
Whether
hogged
by the Few
Or
shared
between the Many,
All
struggling
for more, no end in sight
To
the
darkness of economic slavery,
The
age
of the living dead,
Both
bourgeois
and proletarian,
Capitalist
and
socialist.
LIVING
DEATH
Whether
through
the adulterated wealth
Of
capitalism
or the purer wealth of socialism,
Private
hoarding
or public sharing,
Economics
rules
the contemporary roost,
The
electron
bird of the people
Shorn
of
its feathers and unable to fly,
Angrily
hugging
the ground.
Who
but
the Messiah can save this bird
From
its
living death ... through the Resurrection,
The
rebirth
of civilization
On
the
highest wavicle terms
Of
electron
freedom and spirit?
Marx
is
no saviour but, rather, an Antichrist
Of
the
materialist death, Das
Kapital
The
pseudo-Bible
of the radical State,
Wealth
to
be shared, instead of abolished,
In
the
interests of social progress,
The
socialistic
'best of a bad (economic) job',
The
evil
collectivism of socialist dispensation opposing
The
evil
individualism of capitalist exploitation.
How
inadequate
from the standpoint
Of
the
Second Coming! He
who wishes
To
lift
electron man above
The
economic
strangulation of state existence
And
free
him for
the
Centre,
The
true
revolutionary who despises
Mere
bureaucratic
rebellion against
The
plutocrats,
estimating revolution
On
the
meritocratic terms of a wavicle progression,
The
positivity of the Centre
Rather
than
the negativity of the State.
He
knows
that man won't live fully
Until
the
living death is overcome
By
the
resurrection of religion
On
the
purest wavicle terms.
The
Second
Coming isn't of the Church
But
of
the Centre,
Isn't
of
Roman Catholicism
But
of
Social Transcendentalism,
Isn't
of
the Blessed Will
But
of
the Blessed Spirit,
Which
alone
portends a Life Eternal.
SPENGLER
Spengler
distinguished between
'Culture'
and
'Civilization', as regarding
Church
and
state or, more correctly,
The
period
of religious man
And
the
period of social man, corresponding
To
my
distinction between atomic wavicles
And
neutron
and/or electron particles,
Blessed
being
and cursed doing.
Before
'Culture'
there is only
'Historyless Chaos', or barbarism, and
After
the
decline of 'Civilization' ...
The
possibility
of what Spengler calls
'Second
Religiousness',
corresponding
To
the
flowering of a new culture,
Which
I
equate with the Second Coming,
The
resurrection
of religion
On
the
highest wavicle terms
Of
the
free-electron Centre,
Not
a
matter of confession and prayer,
But
of
contemplation and meditation,
With
a
superconscious rather than a
conscious bias,
A
religion
beyond mid-brain materialism
And
the
consequent worship of man by man
In
the
'Civilization', a kind of Second Culture
Which
should
lead straight into the Millennium,
And
thus
to the overcoming of man
Through
the
post-human life forms
Of
the
Superbeings and Supra-beings
respectively,
There
no
longer being any possibility
Of
a
'Culture/Civilization' dichotomy ...
Since
that
only applies to the world of atomic man,
With
particular
reference to Christians,
Who
would
seem, in Spenglerian terminology,
To
have
superseded pagan civilization
While
being
destined for supersession
By
transcendental
culture, their atomicity flanked
By
proton
particles and electron wavicles
-
Alpha
and
omega of human evolution.
VISUAL
ARTS
Strictly
speaking,
sculpture is
An
aristocratic
art, painting a plutocratic art,
Light
sculpture
a technocratic art,
And
holography
a meritocratic art.
The
sculptor
is the first and lowest kind
Of
atomic
artist, corresponding to
An
atomic-particle
equivalent
In
his
phenomenal appearances.
The
holographer is the second and
highest kind
Of
electron
artist, corresponding to
An
electron-wavicle equivalent
In
his
noumenal essences.
Hence
autocracy
and theocracy.
The
painter
is the second and highest kind
Of
atomic
artist, corresponding to
An
atomic-wavicle equivalent
In
his
noumenal appearances.
The
light
sculptor is the first and lowest kind
Of
electron
artist, corresponding to
An
electron-particle
equivalent
In
his
phenomenal essences.
Hence
bureaucracy
and democracy.
Painting
was
an evolutionary 'rise'
From
stone
sculpture, light sculpture
An
evolutionary
'fall' from painting.
Holography
is
an evolutionary 'rise'
From
light
sculpture, an art of the spirit
Instead
of
the intellect or body,
And,
through
it, art will attain
To
its
evolutionary climax.
If
sculpture-proper
was an inherently pagan mode
Of
visual
art, necessarily tactile,
Then
painting
was its Christian (and specifically
Roman
Catholic)
successor.
If
light
sculpture is an inherently Marxist mode
Of
visual
art, the electron bombardment
Of
phosphor
metaphorically suggestive
Of
the
militant proletariat, then holography
Will
be
its transcendental (and specifically
Social
Transcendentalist)
successor,
Bringing
visual
art to its wavicle
culmination
In
the
purest visions.
SOCIAL
THEOCRACY
Social
Transcendentalism
may also be regarded
As,
in
some special sense, Social Theocracy,
The
supertheocratic ideology that stems
From
Catholic
fascism but largely transcends it.
Unlike
Social
Democracy, that
Radically
democratic
ideology, a superdemocratic
As
opposed
to an anti-democratic or
An
anti-superdemocratic politics,
Social
Theocracy
couldn't indefinitely
Coexist
with
alternative parties
But,
in
attaining to power, would insist on
Its
own
exclusive and absolutist right to serve,
A
right
inherent in the supersession
Of
democracy
and the establishment
Of
a
Social Transcendental Centre -
A
necessarily
totalitarian affair
In
which
the party of the Second Coming
Would
be
obligated to bear the 'sins of the world'
In
a
sacrificial aside to the religious sovereignty
Of
the
saved masses, all those who had
Democratically
opted
for the ultimate sovereignty
In
order
that the 'Kingdom of Heaven'
Could
officially
come to pass and
The
People
thereby secure the right
To
noumenal self-realization
In
accordance
with their newly-achieved status
As
the
Holy Spirit.
ANTI-LIFE
Since
life
is evolution,
So
a
life must be evolutionary,
Else
condemned
to rot in stasis,
Which
is
the only true corruption,
The
anti-life
corruption
Of
death-in-life,
opposing change,
Whether
on
class or political grounds.
Anti-life
isn't
the taking of life in the womb,
Subhuman
foetal
life, so much as
The
opposing
of evolutionary progress
In
deference
to natural determinism.
The
further
life evolves, the more nature is overcome
And
superseded
by the Supernatural,
As
free-electron
criteria discredit all atomic compromises,
Bringing
men
closer to the ultimate Supernaturalism
Of
the
heavenly Beyond.
MEANS
TO
ENDS
The
sun
isn't natural but subnatural,
The
pre-atomic
absolutism of protons preceding
The
atomic
compromises of the natural world,
From
which,
in the guise of man,
Further
evolutionary
progress
Leads
to
the post-atomic absolutism
Of
free
electrons in the Supernatural.
The
antinatural and/or artificial
Stands
to
the Supernatural
As
the
subnatural to the natural -
A
means
to a higher end, not an end-in-itself.
As
the
subnatural Kingdom led to the
natural Church,
Balanced
between
protons and electrons,
So
the
anti-natural State will lead
To
the
supernatural Centre, and thus
To
the
spiritual realization of free-electron ends.
CIVILIZED
AND
BARBARIC
Germane
to
civilization is the concept
Of
an
Eternal Life to-come,
An
aspiration
towards a condition superior to
And
distinct
from human reality - in short, a divine End.
A
civilized
period is one in which concern with the Beyond
Preponderates
over
the here-and-now, or mere survival;
In
which
the spiritual good of the Many
Is
put
before the material interests of the Few.
A
barbarous
period, by contrast, focuses
On
the
world and the individual's stake in it.
It
is
the difference between wavicles
and particles,
Cohesion
and
differentiation,
Spirituality
and
materialism.
A
civilized
barbarity, however, will focus
On
the
Many and the future,
Like
a
genuine civilization,
Albeit
on
down-to-earth, materialist terms,
Suggestive
of
world socialism,
The
millennial
concomitant of which
Would
be
a kind of Spartan consumer society
Broadly
commensurate
with
The
utmost
contraction of materialism.
CENTRIST
ART/SEX
As
Church
art-proper signified
An
atomic-wavicle equivalent
In
the
spreading of paint on canvas,
So
Centre
art-proper will signify
An
electron-wavicle equivalent
In
the
projection of holograms into space,
As
appropriate
to a supertheocratic
ideological integrity.
Doubtless
some
light art,
Particularly
in
the guise of lasers,
Will
continue
to exist, albeit subordinate
To
the
main holographic trend.
Light
sculpture,
on the other hand,
Will
have
been discredited
As
an
overly secular type of art, and nothing
Remotely
resembling
sculpture will survive.
Likewise,
in
sex, nothing
Overtly
homosexual
will be encouraged,
Centrist
sex
signifying elevation
To
an
electron-wavicle equivalent
In
the
Supernaturalism
Of
computer-generated
erotica -
The
omega
antithesis to filmic hard-core
And,
hence,
to the outer light of the State.
SAVED
FROM
THINKING
Artificial
intelligence
is superseding
Natural
intelligence,
calculators and computers
...
The
human
brain, and while some people,
Mostly
of
the Puritan Church, see this as a loss,
Most
people,
being of the liberal State,
Regard
it
as an inestimable gain.
For
artificial
intelligence saves them from thinking,
Which
is,
after all, a neutron indulgence,
More
suited
to a naturalistic age.
And
to
be saved from thinking
Allows
for
the possibility
Of
one's
giving oneself to awareness,
With
the
dawn of a Centrist commitment
To
electron
purism of the highest
Contemplative
and
meditative kinds.
ROBOT
REVOLUTION
Now
that
fully automated factories
Are
beginning
to appear, staffed by robots,
The
way
is open for the overcoming
Of
the
industrial proletariat
And
their
transformation into superfolk
-
The
higher,
wavicle manifestation of the
People
That
must
eventually supersede all electron particles.
Being
delivered
from
factory
work by robots
Creates
the
possibility of the proletariat's
Being
saved
for
spiritual
play, provided that
Those
who
are made redundant are encouraged
And
willing
to play passively
Rather
than,
as in factories, to passively work.
For
the
fewer workers
And
the
more players there are in society,
The
closer
it will be to heavenly salvation.
Damned
in
work, the proletariat will be saved by play
And
become
the classless superfolk of a
truly spiritual age.
DEMOCRACY
AND
DICTATORSHIP
One
should
distinguish
Between
a
dictatorial democracy,
Or
a
democracy imposed upon the people
And
run
on a totalitarian basis,
And
a
democratic dictatorship,
Or
a
dictatorship that is voted into power
By
popular
consent.
Dictatorial
democracy
pertains to right-wing communism,
Democratic
dictatorship
to left-wing fascism,
The
difference,
traditionally, between
Soviet
Communism
and National Socialism.
But
neither
of these should be confounded
With
a
dictatorship, purely and simply,
That
is
imposed upon the people without their consent.
Such
dictatorships
aren't fascist but military,
And
thus
a form of attenuated autocracy,
Beneath
the
pale of a genuine ideology.
Whatever
one
may think of Nazism,
It
was
no military dictatorship,
But
a
democratic dictatorship
Established
by
popular consent.
And
the
same should apply to the future attainment
Of
Social
Transcendentalism to power
In
countries,
hopefully, like Eire,
Except
that,
unlike Nazism, the ideology
Of
what
is potentially a true world (global) religion
Would
only
be dictatorial to the extent
That
its
leader - recognized in advance as
The
most
genuine approximation to the Second Coming
And
duly
granted the freedom to utilize the State
For
theocratic
ends - was bearing such 'sins of the world'
As
the
electorate had fobbed-off onto him
In
return
for religious sovereignty, and hence
The
right
to spiritual self-realization
In
what
would effectively become,
Under
Social
Transcendentalist auspices,
The
'Kingdom
of Heaven' which had been awaited
For
so
long by the faithful in hope of the Resurrection
And
its
promise of Eternal Life - the life of the spirit
Granted
maximum
emphasis and longevity
Through
the
brain's ultimately being artificially supported
And
no-less
artificially sustained in the collectivized
Contexts
of
a post-Human Millennium.
THOUGHTS
Thoughts
correspond
to the wavicle
aspect
Of
the
neutron in the guise of bound thought,
But
to
the particle aspect of the neutron and/or electron
In
the
guise of free thought -
The
one
tending to precede the other ...
In
the
progression of psychic evolution
From
conscious
mind to new-brain dominion
Via
the
midbrain of neutron-particle liberalism.
Thus
bound
thought originates
In
the
conscious mind, free thought appertaining
To
the
midbrain and/or new brain,
The
former
commensurate with the Church,
The
latter
with the State (both liberal and radical),
The
former
inherently theological,
The
latter
... philosophical,
The
bound
noumenal and the free
phenomenal,
Neutron
intellectuality
advancing
In
a
phenomenal anti-natural, and hence 'fallen', guise
In
the
secular context of free thought,
Which
corresponds
to the particle aspect
Of
the
neutron within the parliamentary context,
But
to
the particle aspect of the electron
Within
the
rather more radical context
Of
the
hard-line republican state,
And
which
can only be superseded,
Via
the
soft-line republicanism
Of
an
atomic-particle state, through, firstly,
The
atomic-wavicle transcendentalism
Of
visionary
contemplation, corresponding
To
the
hard inner-light of the Blessed Virgin
In
a
New Earth, and then, secondly,
Through
the
superconscious purism
Of
an
electron-wavicle contemplation
Transcending
the
visionary
In
the
awareness that is beyond all intellectuality,
The
peace
that surpasses all understanding,
The
ultimate
peace of the saved spirit,
Which
is
bound to the soft inner-light of the Holy Ghost
In
the
New Heaven of supertheocratic
bliss.
VISIONS
Visions
correspond
to the wavicle aspect
Of
the
atom, whether in the proton-biased guise
Of
natural
visions or in the electron-biased guise
Of
supernatural
visions,
The
one
tending to precede the other
In
the
progression of the psyche
From
subconscious
to superconscious.
Thus
whereas
natural visions originate
In
the
subconscious as atomic-wavicle noumena
Commensurate
with
the Catholic Church,
Supernatural
visions
appertain
To
the
superconscious as atomic-wavicle noumena
Commensurate
with
the Centre, and particularly
With
the
Social Transcendental Centre,
Both
of
which are inherently theosophical,
Albeit,
in
the case of supernatural visions,
Genuinely
so
... on account of
The
electron
essence of genuine theosophy,
A
noumenon that began in the proton-biased,
And
hence
external, mould of natural visions.
SUPRA-NATURALISM
Beyond
supernatural
visions lie
The
pure
electron equivalent
Of
supra-natural
awareness,
The
meditation
of the noumenal self upon
itself
In
the
pure mind of ultimate selfhood.
This
is
the higher transcendentalism that will supersede
The
predominantly
visionary transcendentalism
Of
a
Social Transcendentalist age,
The
pure
transcendentalism of electron absolutism,
An
essential
rather than an apparent noumenon.
Elevated
above
the contemplation
Of
artificially-induced
supernatural visions,
The
superconscious will become
The
supra-conscious
of spiritual essence,
The
meditative
consciousness of the Supra-men,
Who
are
destined to succeed Supermen
In
the
first phase of Centrism's wavicle evolution.
THEOCRATIC
AND
TRANSCENDENTAL
Social
Transcendentalism
is really
The
religious
face of Centrism,
Social
Theocracy
its political face.
When
speaking
of religion on the Centrist level,
'Transcendental'
is
more appropriate
Than
'theocratic'
on account
Of
its
inherently religious suggestibility.
When
speaking,
however, of politics
On
the
Centrist level, 'theocratic'
Is
more
appropriate than 'transcendental'
On
account
of its phonetic similarity
To
'democratic'
- which is the essence of
politics.
It
also
has a slightly more facile
Syllabic
construction
than 'transcendental'.
A
Social
Theocratic Centre is slightly less of
A
mouthful
than a Social Transcendental Centre,
And
a
Social Theocrat is of easier reference
Than
a
Social Transcendentalist.
POLITICAL
AND
RELIGIOUS
If
the
State-Centre is theocratic,
Then
the
Church-Centre will be transcendental.
The
'political'
leaders and their closest followers
Will
be
Social Theocrats,
But
the
religious guides - those
Priest-equivalents
specially
trained
To
serve
in meditation centres -
Will
be
Social Transcendentalists,
And
so,
by a process of religious association,
Will
the
People be, just as they are identifiable,
Within
the
Christian West,
As
Roman
Catholics and/or Protestants.
PLAYS
If
the
natural play can be described
As
a
proton-biased atomic-particle mode
Of
visual
expression, then its
Supernatural
equivalent,
the television play,
Could
well
be described as an electron-biased
Atomic-particle
mode
of visual expression,
It
being
assumed that plays
Are
confined
to a particle equivalent
In
a
liberal or radical age, and aren't
Susceptible
to
radically theocratic upgrading.
Originally
stemming
from the bureaucratic kingdom,
Plays
have
become progressively more secularized
...
Until
no
longer retaining any ecclesiastical significance,
But
functioning
as a secondary literary form
In
the
utmost particle decadence of the bureaucratic state.
FILMS
Films
are
related not to plays but to dreams,
As
though
signifying a kind of external,
Artificial
'dreaming'
applicable to a materialist age,
The
antithesis
of sleep-dreams, and so
Appertaining
to
an electron-particle equivalent.
If,
in
their proton appearances, dreams correspond
To
the
autocratic kingdom, then films correspond
To
the
democratic state, coming in-between
The
natural
visions of the Catholic Church
And
the
supernatural visions
Of
our
projected Social Transcendental Centre,
Both
of
which are wavicle equivalents,
And
therefore
impressive rather than expressive.
Thus
films
signify a 'fall' from
The
static
internal visions of a church age
To
the
active external visions of a state age,
Albeit,
in
the paradoxical nature of such 'falls', one
That
is
also a progression from the natural
To
the
antinatural and/or artificial,
Which,
in
discrediting the natural, allows for
The
possibility
of a subsequent, if unrelated,
Supernatural
advance
in the guise of 'acid tripping' -
The
static,
artificially-induced visions of a Centrist age.
TRIPS
If
films
are the antithetical equivalent of dreams,
Then
trips
are the antithetical equivalent
Of
natural
visions, an electron-biased
As
opposed
to a proton-biased
Atomic-wavicle equivalent,
Internal
as
opposed to external,
Centripetal
instead
of centrifugal,
An
affair
of the superconscious,
Not
of
the subconscious, a supernatural
Rather
than
a subnatural experience,
requiring
Not
fasting
but ... synthetic hallucinogens like LSD
To
activate
them in a superwakefulness
Of
visionary
contemplation.
Morally
preferable
to the antinatural
film
Of
an
electron-particle equivalent,
And
spiritually
superior to the natural visions
Of
the
Catholic mystic, tripping
Is
the
ultimate form of visionary experience,
Beyond
which
only the pure mind
Of
the
meditating self can lead one higher ...
Towards
the
Beyond of ultimate divinity
And
the
essential inner-light
Of
an
electron-wavicle equivalent,
The
New
Heaven of the Holy Spirit
Instead
of
the New Earth of the Blessed Virgin,
But
a
New Heaven that can only arise
From
the
New Earth, and hence
The
apparent
inner-light of the trip -
Bureaucracy
and
theocracy in
A
Social
Theocratic partnership that will extend into
The
supertheocratic purism of the Holy
Spirit alone!
