CYCLE
TWO
1. The unemployed are the West's
untouchables.
2. Conventional politics wishes to return
(or
send) the unemployed to work.
Revolutionary religion desires nothing less than their elevation
to
properly classless self-realization through the spirit.
3. The Modern Age is so debased ... that it
makes a virtue out of work and a virtuous man out of the worker!
4. After woman
and the
family, work is the next worst obstacle to the attainment of divine
redemption
in and through the spirit.
5. We should look towards a future in which
people do not have to work because there is little or no work for them
to do,
and they are free, in consequence, to dedicate more time to the pursuit
of
spiritual excellence.
6. The ultimate
society
would not be one in which men worked for their families but, on the
contrary,
one in which, saved from families by true religion, they were free to
cultivate
the spirit.
7. Families are a dying breed which, in
'Kingdom
Come', will be given the coup
de
grace and consigned to the 'rubbish
heap' of worldly history.
8. Reproduction in the future will be
increasingly artificial and orientated towards the development of a
superhuman
race such that transcends both man and (especially) woman.
Such a race will be One
with God.
9. The ultimate
election
will determine whether the People go forward, under Messianic auspices,
to God
(the Holy Spirit of Heaven), or remain 'bogged down' in republican
'sin' and
the perpetuation, in consequence, of democracy.
10. An election which legally exploited the
democratic
process in the name of religious sovereignty would only be possible
once the
People had, through enlightened persuasion, accepted the desirability
of such
sovereignty as an end-in-itself.
11. Such an acceptance presupposes the official
recognition,
through his truth, of the Second Coming, since it is his will to free
the
People from 'worldly sin' in the interests of 'heavenly grace'.
12. As above, so below
... to the extent that both Heaven and the World (here conceived with a
religious overtone) are contexts of subjectivity. The
crucial
distinction, however, is that
whereas the World's subjectivity is phenomenal, the subjectivity of
Heaven is
noumenal - all the difference, in short, between woman and God.
13. The World by itself would not lead to Heaven
(since no woman has any desire to transform herself into God). On the contrary, it is only because and to
the extent that the World is affiliated, through Christ, with a
purgatorial
Overworld, so to speak, that there is any possibility of heavenly
redemption.
14. The purgatorial
Overworld, like the World, is phenomenal, albeit of a phenomenality
which is
culturally rooted in lunar objectivity and incapable, by itself, of
achieving
Heaven.
15. Isolated from the World, the culture of
purgatorial
Overworldliness succumbs to the dominance of lunar materialism and its
phenomenal objectivity, with Antichristic implications for all -
usually
Nonconformists - concerned.
16. Parliamentarianism is a mode of political
Antichrist which tends to dominate overly purgatorial adherence to
Christ
through World-defying nonconformism.
17. Being phenomenally
objective, it is easy for parliamentarianism to seek an accommodation
with the
noumenal objectivity of monarchism in its defiance of the World or,
more
correctly, republicanism.
18. Parliamentarianism does
not automatically lead to monarchism, any more, from a religious
standpoint,
than nonconformism leads to Freemasonry. There is, rather, an understanding and
partnership between what are fundamentally two different class points
of view -
the former middle class and the latter upper class.
19. Both the upper and middle classes are
fundamentally aligned with the objectivity of the sun and the moon
respectively
- the former noumenal and the latter phenomenal, as between naturalism
and
materialism.
20. One could
distinguish, more pedantically, between ruling-class naturalism
(monarchism)
and upper-class fundamentalism (freemasonry) on the one hand, and
between
governing-class materialism (parliamentarianism) and middle-class
nonconformism
(puritanism) on the other hand.
21. Whereas with regard to naturalism the ruling
class (monarchic royals) would be aligned with the sun, with regard to
fundamentalism, by contrast, the upper-class (masonic peers) alignment
would be
to the blood.
22. Likewise whereas with regard to materialism
the governing class (representative parliamentarians) would be aligned
with the
moon, with regard to nonconformism, by contrast, the middle-class
(professional
puritans) alignment would be to the brain.
23. However that may be, both the governing/middle
class and the ruling/upper class conspire together against the working/
lower
class in defence of their objective interests.
Such a conspiracy of the Antichrist with Satan or,
alternatively, of
Christ with the Father ... usually has the effect of preventing the
Antimother/Mother from achieving freedom from objective oppression.
24. Yet such freedom is a precondition not only of
the development of phenomenal subjectivity but, more significantly, of
noumenal
subjectivity through the Second Coming, when the World, and hence the
lower
class, is ready to democratically exchange its 'worldly sins' for
'heavenly
grace' ... in the classless paradise of religious sovereignty, and
hence the
Social Transcendentalist Centre.
25. For Social Transcendentalism is the
ideological framework of the 'Kingdom of Heaven', and the Centre is the
context
of religious sovereignty that would replace political sovereignty, in
the event
of a majority vote for it.
26. Social Transcendentalism is the
politico-religious manifestation of the Holy Spirit of Heaven wherein,
under
Messianic auspices, the '
27. Religious sovereignty would confer upon the
People the right to self-realization, as the Holy Spirit of Heaven,
within
centres built and staffed for the purpose of enabling them to develop
their
spirituality in an ongoing process destined to culminate in a
transcendent
Omega Point, set in space at some time in the distant future.
28.
Such a spiritual development would initially
imply the use of certain drugs (carefully monitored and regulated) as a
precondition of a much purer and truer spirituality premised on the
basis of
transcendental meditation.
29. It is my belief that, at this juncture in
time, meditation by itself would be inadequate to enable a
religiously-sovereign people to defeat and transcend the
spiritually-debilitating
effects of cinema and television/video-viewing, and consequently that a
phase
of internal artificial visionary experience would be necessary to pave
the way
for pure essence in the transcendental long-term.
30. Such a contention accepts that Anglo-American
civilization is analogous, in its light-worshipping idolatry, to the
pagan
civilization of classical antiquity, and that feminism and socialism
are
symptomatic of a Dark Age out of which Social Transcendentalism must
lead the
People into a sort of supercatholic civilization the precondition of a
superpuritan futurity.
CYCLE
THREE
1. The God of the Old Testament is Jehovah,
whereas the God of the New Testament is Jesus Christ.
2. Jesus Christ is the Son of God the
Father,
but the Father is not Jehovah!
3. Jehovah could no more
have a Son, in the sense of Christ, than the Father could have a moon.
4. The Son, in
the
sense of Christ, is only possible to the Father on the basis of a
loving
relationship with the Mother; for all three deities are necessarily
omega
postulates.
5. It would of course be possible for the
Antison, or Antichrist, to stem from the Antifather, or Satan, on the
basis of
a lustful relationship with the Antimother, or Cursed Whore; for all
three
antideities would be alpha postulates.
6. Yet such an Antifather, corresponding to
solar naturalism, would not be Jehovah, since the God of the Old
Testament is
an antispirit or, more correctly, the Antispirit roughly corresponding,
in its
stellar idealism, to the Hindu Clear Light of the Void.
7. What particularly distinguishes Jehovah
from
the Clear Light of the Void ... is the anthropomorphic distance which
exists
between Hindu idealism and Judaic realism in view of the later
development of
the latter religion.
8. One might be forgiven for equating the
Clear
Light of the Void with the central star of the Galaxy; but no such
literal
derivation could apply to any figurative extrapolation from such a
primal
source of cosmic energy.
9. Platonic idealism is a Greek version of
cosmic idealism ... to the extent that it allows for an anterior realm
of 'pure
ideas', of which the visible embodiments in the material world are but
'pale
copies', like 'Maya' in relation to the Clear Light.
10. If philosophy is rooted in cosmic or
scientific idealism, then philosophy is a profoundly anti-religious
discipline
which must necessarily fight shy of transcendentalism.
11. Such a contention would allow for a
distinction, indeed an antithesis, between philosophical idealism and
theosophical
transcendentalism - the former objective and the latter subjective.
12. Logically, one could also draw a distinction
between psychological naturalism and theological fundamentalism - the
former
objective and the latter subjective.
13. These alpha/omega distinctions simply confirm
the dichotomy which exists between science and religion on the basis of
an
objective/subjective antithesis.
14. Science is about Doing in relation to the
Given; religion, by contrast, about Being
in relation
to the Becoming.
15. Television is a realistic Antihell, video a
humanistic Hell; radio is a realistic Antiworld, audio a humanistic
World;
record players are a realistic Antipurgatory, compact discs a
humanistic
Purgatory; computers are a realistic Antiheaven, CD-ROMs a humanistic
Heaven.
16. Possible correlation between double audio-tape
decks and lesbianism on the one hand, and double video-tape decks and
homosexuality on the other hand.
17. Schizophrenic oscillation of Christians
between the Jehovahesque idealism of the Old Testament and the
Fatheresque
fundamentalism of the New Testament, the latter alone
having
any relationship to Christ.
18. Neither Jehovah nor the Father is literally
God; for Jehovah corresponds to cosmic idealism and the Father to
blood-based
fundamentalism - the former a sort of Antigod along the lines of the
Clear
Light of the Void, the latter a positive, or omega, Devil corresponding
to the
Holy Soul of Hell. Only the Holy Spirit
of Heaven is truly divine.
19. Even Allah is not truly divine in the sense of
being the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
Although originally deriving from Jehovah, Allah developed,
within
Islam, a fundamentalist status analogous to the Father.
In fact, one could paradoxically argue that
Allah is the Father minus the Trinity, which is to say, an unequivocal
manifestation of fundamentalist strength.
For strength is the quality of 'the Almighty', a quality
antithetical to
the weakness of Satan.
20. The quality of Jehovah or indeed of any
creator-deity (necessarily cosmic) is illusion, the negative antithesis
of
truth, and thus something having reference to the Clear Light of the
Void, as
opposed to the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
21. Illusion is the alpha antithesis of truth no
less than weakness the alpha antithesis of strength.
Allah is 'great' not because He is illusory,
but precisely by dint of His correlation with strength.
22. Strength is rooted neither in the illusion of
light nor in the truth of air, but in the blood, against which the
weakness of
fire is a naturalistic threat.
CYCLE
FOUR
1. Because strength is rooted in the blood,
it
could be said that Allah corresponds to the Western or, at any rate,
Christian
concept of the vampire, since, unlike the Father, Allah is a hard-line
fundamentalist deity whose image of strength has its fountainhead in
the soul.
2. Thus whereas the fundamentalism of the
Father
is tempered by His relationship to both the Son and the Holy Spirit,
the
fundamentalism of Allah is absolutist in its correlation with the blood.
3. The Father might be accused of 'hogging
Heaven' to Himself by sucking air out of (presumably) the Mother's
lungs in due
process of loving her, but He could not be accused of sucking blood
from her veins
in the manner of one who has no relationship, not even tangentially,
with the
Holy Ghost.
4. Count Dracula may well be, in his
peer-like
fundamentalism, the Christian concept of Allah, for whom the pursuit of
strength through blood is a matter of (diabolical) life and death which
amounts
to nothing short of a 'Holy War'.
5. Were Jehovah, Allah, the Father, etc.,
simply
different terms for the same God ... there would be no friction,
neither now
nor historically, between the different so-called world religions. It is, however, precisely because such names
relate to different
concepts of God ... that frictions arise.
6. Thus although all traditional religions
relate, through various names, to the concept of God, they vary in
their
interpretation of that concept.
7. The reasons
for this
are many and complex, but climatic and environmental factors are
inevitably
responsible for such a variety of interpretations to the notion of God.
8. Unless we can establish a 'level playing
field'
of climatic and environmental conditions for the whole world, it is
difficult
to foresee a situation arising whereby universal unanimity as to what
constitutes God could be anticipated.
9. Such a 'level playing field' ... of an
equal
and morally-advantageous climate ... may well, besides the more obvious
factor
of standardized indoor conditions, require the siting of large
'blocking' or
'filtering' devices in space to reduce the sun's influence, especially
in
relation to overly hot climates or countries.
10. Viewed from the standpoint of the sort of
grey, temperate climate which is conducive to the development, up to a
point,
of genuine spirituality, it becomes sadly apparent that most of the
world (in
the global sense) is at a distinct spiritual disadvantage to countries
like
Ireland with regard to climate, since a majority of countries tend to
have hot
dry weather which has the effect of impeding true spirituality.
11. In fact the hotter the country the harder it
will be to go against the sun's pagan influence and adopt anything like
a
transcendental attitude to life.
12. Even Britain is at a spiritual disadvantage to
Ireland with regard to the greater amount, comparatively speaking, of
sunshine
it experiences vis-à-vis its island neighbour - a factor which is
doubtless at
the roots of the age-old friction and distrust between the two islands.
13. Irish immigrants to Britain differ from most
of their coloured counterparts by coming from a climate which, in its
preponderating greyness and dampness, was largely responsible for
creating that
transvaluated culture which reflects a Christian 'rebirth'.
14. By contrast to Irish immigrants in Britain,
most of the coloured immigrants come from countries that are hotter and
sunnier
than Britain in the summer and even throughout the year, thereby
sharing with
the British a pagan bias which is simply, if anything, more intensive
than that
of the British themselves.
15. Thus, unlike the Irish, they do not generally
find themselves at cross-purposes with the British, but blend-in with
them on
rather more intensively heathen terms.
16. The importance of
climate and environment in conditioning, over the centuries, ethnic
identities
... cannot and should not be underestimated!
CYCLE
FIVE
1. A so-called parliamentary democracy
(which is
not even a genuine, or republican, democracy but a 'bovaryization' of
democracy
relevant to an economic hegemony) is an anti-nonconformist democracy in
which,
due to materialistic factors, the tongue governs the brain.
2. A republican democracy (which is a
genuine
democracy relevant to a political hegemony) is an anti-humanist
democracy in
which, due to realistic factors, the flesh represents the womb.
3. A so-called People's democracy (which is
not
a genuine democracy but a 'bovaryization' of democracy relevant to a
scientific
hegemony) is an anti-fundamentalist democracy in which, due to
naturalistic
factors, the ears rule the heart.
4. A so-called clerical democracy (which is
not
a genuine democracy but a 'bovaryization' of democracy relevant to a
religious
hegemony) is an anti-transcendentalist democracy in which, due to
idealistic
factors, the eyes lead the lungs.
5. Democracy, whether genuine or pseudo,
phenomenal or noumenal, relativistic or absolutist, pluralist or
totalitarian,
etc., etc., is a creature of the alpha which retains a particle basis,
in
keeping with its collectivistic nature.
6. No democracy, whether rooted in
religion,
science, economics, or politics, encourages a moral outlook on life. On the contrary, democracy militates against
morality by encouraging a collectivistic mentality relevant to its
particle
basis.
7. Hence a vote for democracy is
effectively a
vote against the wavicle responsibility of a moral resolve, since it
elects a particle
candidate and thereby restricts one to immoral criteria.
8. Democracy is, literally, bad for the
electorate's morals, since it confirms a particle dominance, which is
an
implicit refutation of wavicle alternatives.
9. A so-called clerical democracy, rooted
in the
photon particles of a religious leadership, confirms the domination of
the
Antispirit.
10. A so-called People's democracy, rooted in the
proton particles of a scientific rulership, confirms the domination of
the
Antifather.
11. A so-called parliamentary democracy, rooted in
the neutron particles of an economic
governance,
confirms the domination of the Antichrist.
12. A republican democracy, rooted in the electron
particles of a political representation, confirms the domination of the
Antimother.
13. In all four cases,
the domination of the particle is confirmed, with negative consequences
for the
electorate, who then have to live with the elected antiwavicles in a
predominantly immoral society.
14. The only way out of
this unfortunate situation is through a vote, via Social
Transcendentalism, for
religious sovereignty, once the opportunity of such a paradoxical
election
eventually comes to pass.
15. Such a vote presupposes a genuine democracy in
which the electorate are free to choose between a number
of alternative parties within a broadly republican framework. It cannot happen within either a
parliamentary democracy/constitutional monarchy or a one-party state.
16. The consequence of
a
majority vote for religious sovereignty, through Social
Transcendentalism,
would be deliverance from democracy and salvation in God ... the Holy
Spirit of
Heaven.
CYCLE
SIX
1. European civilized decadence begins and
ends
with photographic books; American barbarism begins and ends with film.
2. Asian cultural decadence begins and ends
with
mystical yoga; African naturism begins and ends with sex.
3. One should distinguish between the
idealistic
meditation of light-based mysticism and the transcendental meditation
of
air-centred gnosticism.
4. Mysticism accepts the Universe as the
source
of Revelation; gnosticism rejects the
Universe (as
evil) in favour of Divine Revelation.
5. Divinity is never found without,
e.g.
in the Cosmos, but always within, e.g. in the self that is at
one with
the spirit which fuels it.
6. That which is without, e.g. the
Cosmos, is mysterious to the self and the subject, in consequence, of
mystical
hypotheses.
7. Unlike the Mystic, the Gnostic does not
pay
too much attention to the Cosmos, since he has no desire to reach an
accommodation with it, but desires only to identify, as far as
possible, with
his self.
8. In a sense, the Cosmos holds no mystery
for
the Gnostic, since he is one who has seen through it (to its absolute
evil) and
rejected it in favour of absolute good.
9. The Mystic
succumbs,
through moral blindness, to the idealistic meditation of the light. The Gnostic adheres, through moral insight,
to the transcendental meditation of the air.
10. The Mystic is a
scientific Idealist, the Gnostic ... a religious Transcendentalist.
11. The Old Testament,
rooted in the Cosmos, is mystical; the New Testament, centred in
Christ, is
gnostical.
12. The Gnostic is one
who, having been spiritually reborn through Christ, has elected to turn
his
back on mysticism. Hence his adherence
to true religion as opposed to the pseudo-religion of the
cosmic-oriented
Mystic.
13. The 'Kingdom Within' can only be developed at
the expense of the 'Kingdom Without'; for where the Holy Spirit of
Heaven
prevails, there can be no place for the Clear Light of the Void.
14. The Mystic, being a
devotee of the Clear Light of the Void, can have little notion of what
it means
to be One with the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
His idealism debars him from that transcendentalism which is the
Gnostic's true home.
15. The Mystic is the 'religious' (philosophical)
form of the scientist, whereas the Gnostic is the 'scientific'
(theosophical)
form of the priest.
CYCLE
SEVEN
1. The eyes (particularly the so-called
'Third
Eye') of mystical philosophy vis-à-vis the lungs of gnostical theosophy.
2. The ears (necessarily large) of
scientific
psychology vis-à-vis the heart of religious theology.
3. The psychiatrist, or practising
psychologist,
listens intently to his client and endeavours to interpret his dreams,
mental
phobias, neuroses, etc., in the light of psychoanalysis.
4. Psychiatry is rooted in the backbrain,
and
extends towards the subconscious in due process of psychoanalysis.
5. Such an extension parallels, on the
cultural
plane, the threat to vampirism posed by sunlight.
6. The subconscious is home to religious
archetypes of the sort favoured by theologians and all who are centred,
if not
rooted, in the Father, viz. the heart and its blood.
7. The
correlation
between the subconscious and the heart parallels, on the theological
plane,
that between the backbrain and the ears with regard to the plane of
psychology.
8. One might argue, in crude terms, that
the
investigation and analysis of the subconscious by psychiatrists is akin
to an
attack by Satan upon the Father, and that the motive for such an attack
is to
defeat the subconscious and render it accountable to the backbrain.
9. Once tamed by psychiatry, the
subconscious
becomes the plaything of science; for the client has 'sold his soul' to
the
psychologist, and therefore ceased to be theologically independent.
10. It could be argued that most if not all
psychiatric clients who pay to be psychoanalysed have a subconscious
desire to
be delivered from theology, and thus from their religious archetypes.
11. Even dream interpretation is a mode of
theological deliverance which, seemingly, renders the dream contents
accountable, via aural assimilation, to backbrain analysis.
12. Whether the 'soul' is Pagan or Christian,
dream-based or theological, the result is its loss to psychology, and
the
growth and entrenchment of scientific values at religion's expense.
13. Such a loss of religion to science is the
worst possible form of damnation, and contrasts with the salvation that
would
be offered by the Second Coming to those who elected to be saved from
the soul
to the spirit, thereby passing from the Father to the Holy Spirit of
Heaven, as
the subconscious was first neutralized and then transcended by the
superconscious.
14. To neutralize the dream subconscious
(unconscious) through recourse, in the superconscious, to
hallucinogenic
visionary experience such as vouchsafed by LSD, and to transcend the
theological subconscious, or subconscious-proper, through
transcendental
meditation - such would be the stratagems by which the Second Coming
sought to
save the Faithful from both pagan and Christian modes of subconscious
domination.
15. The correlation
between the superconscious and the lungs parallels, on the theosophical
plane,
that between the forebrain and the eyes (including, more particularly,
the
so-called 'Third Eye') with regard to the plane of philosophy.
16. Just as the ears are rooted in the backbrain,
so the subconscious is rooted in the heart, which directs its psychic
activity.
17. And just as the eyes - though the 'Third Eye'
in particular - are centred in the forebrain, so the superconscious is
centred
in the lungs, which are its true home.
18. This means that whereas the ears stem from the
backbrain, the subconscious stems from the heart, which, as everyone
knows, is
the 'seat of the soul'.
19. Yet, with regard to the centred entities, it
means that whereas the forebrain stems from the eyes, the lungs stem,
by
contrast, from the superconscious, or air.
20. That which is idealist and/or
transcendentalist, like light and spirit respectively, is centred,
whereas
that
which is naturalist and/or fundamentalist, like fire and soul
respectively, is rooted.
21. I would contend that the development of the
forebrain owed much if not everything to the eyes, as an objective
vehicle for
pulling it out of the backbrain.
22. Likewise I would argue that the development of
the lungs owed much if not everything to the air, as a subjective
vehicle for
filling-out and ultimately transmuting the gills.
23. The light is never so centred in the forebrain
than when the mystical 'Third Eye' of philosophical 'enlightenment'
eclipses
the optical eyes and brings its devotee to 'oneness' with, effectively,
the
central star of the Galaxy.
24. The backbrain may
have created ears to enable it to liaise with the external environment,
but it
seems to me that the eyes were largely responsible for creating the
forebrain.
25. That which is materialist and/or
nonconformist, like ice and mind respectively, is rooted,
whereas that
which is realist and/or humanist, like earth and will respectively, is centred.
26. This is in confirmation of the fact that
whereas the rooted spectra, viz. naturalist/fundamentalist and
materialist/
nonconformist, are predominantly objective, the centred spectra, viz.
idealist/transcendentalist and realist/humanist, are preponderantly
subjective.
27. The rootedness of the
materialist/nonconformist spectrum differs from that of the
naturalist/fundamentalist one, as phenomenal relativity from noumenal
absolutism.
28.
Likewise, the centredness of the
realist/humanist spectrum differs from that of the
idealist/transcendentalist
one, as phenomenal relativity from noumenal absolutism.
CYCLE
EIGHT
1. Even though the sphericity of the earth
can
be inferred from the sphericity of both the sun and the moon, the fact
remains
that the earth is both round and flat - absolutely round and
relatively
flat.
2. From an overview, the earth is of course
round; but from the viewpoint of those living on it, there is a
relative
flatness about the distance from point A to B, as from one part of town
to
another. Anyone who simply claims that
the earth is round, because spherical overall, misses this point
completely!
3. Interracial sexual relationships are
more
typical of the alpha than the omega of society,
granted that they reflect a certain looseness wherein the heterogeneous
preponderates over the homogeneous. A
multiracial
society is rather more likely to be under the star than under the cross.
4. Even multiracial societies can become
effectively monoracial in the course of time, once interbreeding has
gone so
far that a coloured mean is the eventual result.
5. The more
omega
orientated the society the more strict will it be in regard to
so-called racial
purity, since the attraction of like to like, say white to white or
black to
black, is reflective of the homogeneous essence of a moral society.
6. In a fundamentally immoral society, on
the
other hand, anything goes, and therefore even the most disparate
interracial
relationships are both possible and indeed desirable, whether as a
reflection
of the existing barbarism or as a valiant attempt to diminish it
through
miscegenation.
7. Ultimately a coloured mean is preferable
to a
black/white or, for that matter, a yellow/red antithesis, given the
homogeneous
essence of such a mean.
8. Yet such a contention is
only relative to societies in which there exist racial distinctions of
the
above-mentioned order, not to societies which are predominantly white
or black,
as the case may be.
9. It is incontrovertible that,
fundamentally,
skin pigmentation is relative to environmental and climatic factors
whose
influence, over the millennia, has conduced towards the development of
one
colour or another.
10. There is nothing arbitrary about skin
pigmentation, or any need to suppose that it signifies anything much
beyond the
influence of climate on a given people.
11. It is not by mere coincidence that darker
peoples tend to originate in hot lands, where the sun's influence is so
much
stronger in terms of its effects upon pigmentation.
12. It may even be that skin pigmentation partly
evolved as a form of camouflage, to enable peoples to blend-in with
their
natural environment, and so avoid detection by predators.
13. Personally I hold that it is more fortunate to
be white than black or coloured, given the historical association of
fair-skinned
peoples with wet and windy climates, the sort of climates in which it
was
possible to develop Christianity at the expense of Paganism.
14. There is no real justification, however, in
discriminating against those who would appear, at face-value, to be at
an
environmental or moral disadvantage to oneself; rather, one should
strive,
having understood their ancestral conditioning, to help and encourage
them
towards a better, e.g. less pagan and more Christian, future.
15. Hot lands exist whether or not we approve of
the fact; the sun's influence is greater in some parts of the world
than in
others, and therefore there are bound to be cultural and other
inequalities
which militate against the development of a uniform higher culture. This is regrettable in the short term, but
there is no reason to suppose that, with the introduction of
revolutionary
changes in environment if not, ultimately, climate, we cannot do
something to
bring the world to a more uniform culture eventually.
16. Black and coloured women are, I have long
believed, at a distinct advantage to white women where sexual seduction
is
concerned, given their more sensuous natures (the product, in large
part, of a
long racial historicity of association with hot or sultry climates).
17. Given the enhanced sensuality of black and
coloured women over their white counterparts, it is virtually
inevitable that,
within a generation or two, most Britons, for example, will be
coloured, the
white males having fallen for black and/or coloured women, and their
black
counterparts having opted, through enhanced sexuality coupled to
prestige
factors, for white females.
18. One might speak of the dialectics of racial
interbreeding leading from a black thesis through a white antithesis to
a
coloured synthesis, the homogeneous mean of a future civilization.

1. For every
good
thinker, a bad one. For every Gnostic, a
Mystic - Aristotle vis-à-vis Plato, Hegel vis-à-vis Marx, Nietzsche
vis-à-vis
Schopenhauer - as transcendentalism and idealism stake their respective
claims
on the intellect, and the battle between spirit and light continues
apace.
2. The folly of philosophy vis-à-vis the
wisdom
of theosophy, which is to say, the mysticism of the alpha vis-à-vis the
gnosticism of the omega.
3. English civilization was eclipsed by
British
barbarism back in the seventeenth century,
and the
result was the Empire upon which the sun never set - the glorious
imperialistic
triumph of
4. Even now, when the glorious
5. Such will doubtless continue to be the
case until,
through Divine Intervention, free Englishmen, Scotsmen, and Welshmen
step forth
from the slavery of monarchic barbarism and declare their independence
in
unequivocally republican terms.
6. Only when they are no longer subjects of
a
reigning monarch ... will Englishmen, Scotsmen, and Welshmen cease to
be first
and foremost British barbarians, but become, instead, free citizens of
their
respective countries.
7. England, Scotland, and Wales will then
be
able to join the community of free nations that, like Ireland, are entitled to salvation from the World on the
basis of
religious sovereignty.
8. But before
this can
happen, the British dragon must be democratically slain by a resurgent
St
George, if freedom from barbarism is to become a lasting reality!
9. Hopefully,
10. Freedom from slavery is one thing; freedom
from sin quite another! Such a freedom
can only be guaranteed on the basis of identity, through the Second
Coming,
with the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
11. There are besides 'freedoms from', what might
be called 'freedoms of', such as the freedom of the Rich and Powerful
to
exploit the Poor and Weak in their own immoral interests, or the
freedom of
Nonconformists to trample the Established Church underfoot.
12. Such 'freedoms of' are really manifestations
of enslavement to materialist and/or nonconformist and naturalist
and/or
fundamentalist powers by those who, for whatever reasons, identify with
them,
to the People's detriment.
13. Hence the exploiters and tramplers are
themselves enslaved, although, unlike those whom they exploit or
trample upon,
they take their enslavement for granted and paradoxically regard it as
freedom,
much as cosmic-oriented Mystics will regard themselves as religious, or
consider as 'religion' that which, in reality, is really science.
14. One might say that the not-self has eclipsed
the self (in both its phenomenal and noumenal manifestations) of the
exploiters
and bigots to such an extent ... that they identify with the not-self
(whether
phenomenal or noumenal) at the self's expense, thereby acquiring an
illusion of
freedom.
15. Such 'freedom', however, is a far-cry from the
genuine freedom of those who, while rejecting exploitation and bigotry,
are
free from enslavement to the exploiters and bigots, but not yet free
for the
binding to God (the Holy Spirit of Heaven) in the ultimate self.
16. Genuine freedom
paves
the way for the true binding in God, which is voluntarily entered into,
whereas
pseudo-freedom (the 'freedom of') is bound to the false binding of
enslavement
to the Cosmos, which is deterministic.
CYCLE
TEN
1. There is no
one type
of good and evil, whether relatively or absolutely; rather, there is
good and
evil in religion (not to mention politics) and science (not to mention
economics).
2. The Trinity
is no more
good ... than, say, the Blessed Virgin evil; the Trinity is both good and
evil,
with
evil
predominating over good.
3. One should contrast, within the Trinity,
the
absolute evil of the Father with the absolute good of the Holy Spirit,
on the
basis of an antithesis between the noumenal objectivity of the heart
and the
noumenal subjectivity of the lungs, the former corresponding to the
Father and
the latter to the Holy Spirit.
4. One should also contrast the relative
evil of
the Son with the relative good of the Mother, on the basis of an
antithesis
between the phenomenal objectivity of the brain and the phenomenal
subjectivity
of the womb, the former corresponding to the Son and the latter to the
Mother.
5. Hence the Christian religion provides us
with
a contrast between absolute good and evil with regard to the Holy
Spirit and
the Father, but relative good and evil with regard to the Mother and
the Son.
6. The absolute evil (noumenal objectivity
with
regard to soul) of the Father imposes upon the relative good
(phenomenal
subjectivity with regard to will) of the Mother, while the relative
evil
(phenomenal objectivity with regard to mind) of the Son aspires towards
the
absolute good (noumenal subjectivity with regard to spirit) of the Holy
Ghost.
7. Now let us examine good and evil with
regard
to science, and therefore distinguish the absolute good (noumenal
subjectivity
with regard to light) of the Antispirit from the absolute evil
(noumenal
objectivity with regard to fire) of the Antifather, while reserving for
the
distinction between relative good and evil the relative good
(phenomenal
subjectivity with regard to earth) of the Antimother and the relative
evil
(phenomenal objectivity with regard to ice) of the Antichrist.
8. One could speak, echoing religion, of
the
absolute good of the eyes in noumenal contrast to the absolute evil of
the
ears, so far as sensual parallels to light and heat were concerned, but
of the
relative good of the flesh in phenomenal contrast to the relative evil
of the
tongue, so far as sensual parallels to earth and ice were concerned.
9. The distinction between scientific good
and
evil (whether noumenal or phenomenal) and religious good and evil
(likewise
whether noumenal or phenomenal) is one of negativity and positivity on
the
basis of a particle/wavicle, external/internal, centrifugal/centripetal
dichotomy.
10. Were one to make a trinitarian-type
distinction - which I would not normally wish to do - between religion
as
'good' and science as 'evil', one could speak of Gods the Father
(soul), the
Son (mind), and the Holy Ghost (spirit) vis-à-vis (presumably) Devils
the
Antifather (fire), the Antison (ice), and the Antispirit (light). Yet, in reality, one would be deceiving
oneself as to the applicability of such a religious term as Devil(s) to
the
scientific alpha, as well as overlooking the amorality implicit in a
unitary
concept of the Trinity, which conveniently subsumes the absolute evil
(noumenal
objectivity with regard to soul) of the Father under the rubric of God,
thereby
completely subverting the divine!
11. No, let us not kid ourselves that the 'Three
in One' squares with true divinity, and is therefore worthy of being
contrasted, as God, with an Unholy Trinity of Devils or, rather, an
anti-'Three
in One' - say, ice and fire in light, or tongue and ears in eyes! An antithetical contrast can of course be
made, not, however, as God vis-à-vis the Devil, but as religion
vis-à-vis
science, or omega vis-à-vis alpha, with three (four, if we include the
mundane)
different spectra to bear in mind.
12. The trinitarian concept of 'Three in One',
viz. the Son and the Holy Ghost in the Father, is a gross insult to
true
divinity, since it subsumes both spirit and mind into soul, or lungs
and brain
into heart, or even air and thoughts into the blood!
Thus must truth and knowledge bow to
strength!
13. Clearly, such a capitulation to absolute
religious evil is precisely what prevents true divinity, in absolute
religious
good, from coming to pass. For as long as
the Holy Ghost is subsumed, along with Christ, into the Father, the
true devil
of religious evil will continue to rule the roost, to the detriment of
religious good. Verily, not until the
Holy Ghost is set free from the Father through the Second Coming ...
will the
absolute religious good of the Holy Spirit of Heaven come to pass, and,
with
it, the salvation of mankind from evil.
CYCLE
ELEVEN
1. If religion contains both good and evil
in
relation to itself, as I happen to believe, then it also contains both
salvation and damnation in relation to itself - whether absolutely
(with regard
to the noumenal) or relatively (with regard to the phenomenal).
2. Salvation for religious people is
therefore
from the damnation of the Father (absolutely) and Christ (relatively)
to either
the Mother (relatively) or the Holy Ghost (absolutely).
Roman Catholicism offers the former, Social
Transcendentalism will, I believe, offer
the latter.
3. Whereas Roman Catholics are relatively
saved
(from the Son to the Mother), Social Transcendentalists will be
absolutely
saved (from the Father to the Holy Ghost).
4. Nonconformists are relatively damned to
the
Son of an overly purgatorial Overworld, whereas Freemasons are
absolutely
damned to the Father of an overly fundamental Netherworld, so to speak.
5. The Orange Lodges in Northern Ireland
are a
manifestation of Masonic damnation (absolute) which tends back, in due
process
of noumenally objective dominion, towards the monarchic alpha ('King
Billy'),
and thus towards the Antifather of an overly scientific naturalism (of
which
the Lambeg Drum is a 'cultural' paradigm).
6. The nonconformist damnation (relative)
tends
back, in due process of phenomenally objective dominion, towards the
parliamentary alpha (Cromwell), and thus to Antichristic materialism
(of which
capitalism is the economic manifestation).
7. Although religion specifically contains
its
own damnation and salvation (as we have seen), it is of course possible
to
differentiate, more generally, between the 'salvation' of religion and
the
'damnation' of science, to the extent that anyone rooted in science is
automatically 'beneath the pale' of religious salvation, and therefore
fated to
remain cut-off from the possibility of divine deliverance due to the
objectivity of his scientific isolation.
8. The Second
Coming
can only save those who, being religious, are in a position to be saved
(from
the Father) through the Holy Spirit of Heaven, never those who are not
even
relatively religious but relatively and/or absolutely scientific.
9. A religious people will cling to the
phenomenal subjectivity of the Mother pending the possibility of
noumenal
subjectivity through the Second Coming.
A non-religious, or scientific, people will reject such a subjectivity in the interests of their
objective bent,
affirming an overly purgatorial and/or hellish religiosity in response
to their
scientific promptings.
10. The Christ of
Catholicism always remains closer to the Mother, e.g. to the context of
phenomenal
subjectivity; for only in the subjective is religion genuine, whether
relatively (as here) or absolutely ... in the Holy Spirit of Heaven to
come.
11. The Catholic Christ is effectively a Son of
the Mother, whereas the Protestant Christ is more literally a Son of
the
Father, living, through His Father, the objectivity of purgatorial
isolation
from the World.
12. Within the context of phenomenal religion it
follows that a relatively good religious people will affirm the Mother
above
all else, whilst a relatively evil religious people (who are not
genuinely
religious anyway) will affirm the Son above all else.
13. Likewise, within the context of noumenal
religion it follows that an absolutely good religious people (a truly
religious
people) will affirm the Holy Spirit of Heaven above all else or,
rather,
instead of everything else, whilst an absolutely evil religious people
(who are
not genuinely religious in any case) will affirm the Father above all
else and
even, in really extreme cases, instead of everything else.
14. Good religious peoples are saved (to
subjectivity), whether relatively or absolutely, whereas bad religious
peoples
are damned (to objectivity), whether relatively or absolutely,
according to the
predominance of either phenomenal or noumenal factors.
CYCLE
TWELVE
1. To examine good and evil in relation to
politics is to distinguish the absolute good (noumenal subjectivity
with regard
to outer spirit) of the outer Holy Ghost from the absolute evil
(noumenal
objectivity with regard to outer soul) of the outer Father, while
distinguishing the relative good (phenomenal subjectivity with regard
to outer
will) of the outer Mother from the relative evil (phenomenal
objectivity with
regard to outer mind) of the outer Son.
2. Hence one is
distinguishing, in the noumenal contexts, totalitarianism from
authoritarianism, and, in the phenomenal contexts, republicanism from
parliamentarianism.
3. Likewise, to examine good and evil in
relation to economics is to distinguish the absolute good (noumenal
subjectivity with regard to inner light) of the inner Antispirit from
the
absolute evil (noumenal objectivity with regard to inner fire) of the
inner
Antifather, while distinguishing the relative good (phenomenal
subjectivity
with regard to inner earth) of the inner Antimother from the relative
evil
(phenomenal objectivity with regard to inner ice) of the inner Antison.
4. Hence one is
distinguishing, in the noumenal contexts, corporatism (Centre
trusteeship) from
communism (state socialism), and, in the phenomenal contexts, socialism
from
capitalism.
5. The Space of religion vis-à-vis the Time
of
science with regard to the noumenal planes, but the Mass of politics
vis-à-vis
the Volume of economics with regard to the phenomenal planes. Always allowing, however,
for distinctions, within any given quadruplicity, between the genuine,
or per se, and 'bovaryized',
or pseudo, modes of
the contexts in question.
6. Religion is most true to itself in
absolute
good, whereas science is most 'true' to itself in absolute evil. Politics is most true to itself in relative
good, whereas economics is most 'true' to itself in relative evil. This is because, while religion and science
are
essentially noumenal contexts, politics and economics are basically
phenomenal.
7. When religion is paramount ... in
maximum
Space (transcendentalism), science, politics, and economics are in
their
'bovaryized' modes of quasi-Space.
8. When science is paramount ... in maximum
Time
(naturalism), religion, politics, and economics are in their
'bovaryized' modes
of quasi-Time.
9. When politics is paramount ... in
maximum
Mass (republicanism), economics, religion, and science are in their
'bovaryized' modes of quasi-Mass.
10. When economics is paramount ... in maximum
Volume (capitalism), politics, religion, and science are in their
'bovaryized'
modes of quasi-Volume.
11. When religion is paramount, as in maximum
Space, we have the '
12. When science is paramount, as in maximum Time,
we have the 'Kingdom of the Devil', which is absolutely evil (hellish).
13. When politics is paramount, as in maximum
Mass, we have the '

Volume, we have the '
15. The Second Coming is about the establishment
of a society in which religion is paramount ... in maximum Space
(transcendentalism), thereby necessitating 'bovaryized' modes of
science,
politics, and economics which will effectively harmonize with it in the
service
and development of the '
16. Such a religious transcendentalism requires
nothing less than idealistic science, totalitarian politics, and
corporate
economics, all of which will be dovetailed into its overall ideological
structure, just as religious humanism, realist science, and socialist
economics
are dovetailed into the overall ideological structure of political
republicanism; or religious nonconformism, materialist science, and
parliamentary politics dovetailed into the overall ideological
structure of
economic capitalism; or religious fundamentalism, authoritarian
politics, and
communist economics dovetailed into the overall ideological structure
of
scientific naturalism.
CYCLE
THIRTEEN
1. What one perceives through one's senses
is
not the concept of an object but the object itself; the concept follows
from
the application of mind.
2. I do not see a computer in front of me,
but
an object which my mind recognizes as a computer. Likewise,
I
do not hear a car in the street
but a sound which my mind interprets as a car.
3. Mind is both subjective and objective,
and
therefore while my computer exists in my mind to the extent that the
latter has
recognized the object corresponding to it, the computer also exists
where it is
in my room by dint of the mind's ability to project itself into space
and, as
it were, conceptualize externally. Were
the
computer only in my head, it would not also exist in my room, but would
be an
imaginative projection or fantasy on my part.
Thus as far as my mind is concerned, the computer is both
internal (as
conceptualized image) and external (as conceptualized object). It is only an object (and not a computer) to
my eyes, which do not have the ability to conceptualize.
Of course, this applies to the senses in
general, which are scientific instruments dependent upon the ability of
mind to
interpret a wide variety of phenomena - at any rate, such would be the
case
from a scientific viewpoint. For the
converse situation of that in which the senses serve the mind would be
rather
more economic in character, while mind independent of the senses smacks
of a
religious standpoint.
4. We are habituated to conceiving of the
mind
as being in the brain and encompassing, besides consciousness, both
subconscious and superconscious, not to mention unconscious, dimensions. In fact, it is self-evident that mind is both
more and less than simple consciousness.
But while we should allow for dimensions within the brain which
correspond to the above-mentioned psychic distinctions, it should be
understood
that while mind per
se, or consciousness, is indeed situated within the brain as
a sort of psychic attribute of brain activity, both the subconscious per
se
and the superconscious per se, not to forget the unconscious per
se,
correspond to attributes which have nothing whatsoever to do with the
brain
but, on the contrary, everything to do with other organs - namely the
subconscious per se with the heart, the
superconscious per
se with the lungs, and the unconscious per se with the womb
(and, by
implication, the sex organs generally).
Hence the subconscious per se, corresponding to the
'psychic'
attribute of the heart, namely the soul, should be carefully
distinguished from
the cerebral subconscious, which is, rather, a subdivision of the mind
(consciousness). Likewise the
superconscious per se, corresponding to the 'psychic' attribute
of the
lungs, namely the spirit, should be carefully distinguished from the
cerebral
superconscious, which is simply a subdivision of the mind.
Similarly, the unconscious per se,
corresponding to the 'psychic' attribute of the womb, namely the will,
should
be carefully distinguished from the cerebral unconscious, which, again,
is
merely a subdivision of the mind.
5. Hence while consciousness per
se
is indeed of the mind or, rather, of the mind in relation to the brain
(with
particular reference, I contend, to the right midbrain, the dominant
part of
the brain), the subconscious per se is of the heart, the
superconscious per
se of the lungs, and the unconscious per se of the womb. Doubtless a further correlation exists
between the subconscious per se and the cerebral subconscious
(situated
in the backbrain), the superconscious per se and the cerebral
superconscious (situated in the forebrain), and the unconscious per
se
and the cerebral unconscious (situated in the left midbrain).
CYCLE
FOURTEEN
1. It is necessary to have a self, and
therefore
to be developing the mind in a superconscious direction, before one can
lose
that self in the universal self which is the superconscious per
se. It is necessary to pass through
Purgatory, as
it were, before one can get to Heaven.
2. For those who are too cerebral to find
the
superconscious per
se particularly attractive, the cerebral superconscious,
with its artificial visionary experience, is the next best thing,
providing it
is regarded as a means to a higher end rather than as an end-in-itself.
3. Even the cerebral quasi-superconscious
... of
mind emptied of thought ... can be of avail in the development of
spirituality
by reducing the degree of (intellectual) mind, and thus bringing one
closer to
the possibility of the superconscious per
se.
4. Unfortunately, thoughtful mind is not
the
self but the intellectual not-self which, on the border with fantasies,
can tip
over into the soulful not-self of the cerebral subconscious, as one
slips, via
sleep, into dreams, thereby passing from the phenomenal to the noumenal
realm
of psychic activity.
5. An LSD trip, or experience of artificial
visionary enlightenment, is really to the self what dreams are to the
not-self,
which is to say, an experience on the border with a different order of
consciousness altogether.
6. Just as the cerebral superconscious (of
LSD
trips) can lead to the superconscious per
se, situated in the lungs,
so, by a contrary tendency, the cerebral subconscious (of dreams) can
lead to
the subconscious per se, situated in the heart, and even, by a
curious
paradox, to the unconscious per se, as in the event of a
so-called 'wet
dream', wherein the body is erotically involved.
7. Whereas the cerebral subconscious revels
in dreams,
the cerebral unconscious is responsible for all those subliminal
processes
which take place in the body independently of conscious volition. It is also the 'storehouse' of concepts and
images which both the cerebral conscious and subconscious minds make
use of as
and when directed, pretty much as exploiters, whether economic or
scientific,
make use of people to further their own ends.
8. The cerebral unconscious is a
'storehouse'
which, like the unconscious per se, manifests the will in its various
subliminal permutations, a will which, as in society, can be exploited
by both
the intellect and the soul to conscious or subconscious ends.
9. Like the
unconscious, both cerebral and physical, people are regularly
exploited, in
open societies, by elements corresponding to both the conscious/right
midbrain
and the subconscious/backbrain, whom we identify as bourgeoisie and
aristocracy.
10. Such exploiters tend to co-operate with one
another to their mutual benefit, the economic exploiters liaising with
their
scientific counterparts on a sort of lunar-to-solar basis.
11. Broadly, free enterprise, which is nothing
more nor less than the freedom of individuals driven by their not-self
to
exploit the masses, works best when economics combines with science to
technologically achieve the maximum approximation to and emulation of
solar
fission, so that the reactive and explosive result, be it in film or
music or
sport or pornography or computer games, induces a correlative
quasi-heliotropic
'sucking-up' from the heathen masses below which, if sufficiently
intense (and
therefore populist), can only maximize the financial dividends, and
thus enable
the exploiters to reap their capitalist harvest of maximum profit. Such, basically, is the rationale of free
enterprise, and it is the most cynically immoral system that has ever
been
devised for debasing society and enslaving the mass man to diabolical
criteria.
12. It is not the People who create a market
demand for such evil products, but their diabolical exploiters who,
through
cunning and ruthless advertising, foist these products upon them ... to
the
detriment of the People's moral wellbeing.
Thus enslaved to market forces beyond their control, the People
writhe
tortuously in the grip of immoral devils who know how to make them
dance to
their diabolical tune, while cunningly pretending that it is the People
themselves who lead the dance and whose will they humbly respect. In reality, these unscrupulous exploiters
have no more respect for the People's will than the cerebral
subconscious has
for the will of the unconscious when it wrenches concepts and images
from it in
pursuit of its own phantasmagoric ends.
13. Free enterprise is not only the enemy of the
People; it is the enemy, more particularly, of God.
For by constraining them to the Devil, it
prevents the People from aspiring towards God.
They remain the realistic playthings of materialistic and
naturalistic
powers that, like the moon and the sun in relation to the earth, keep
them in
subjection to their immoral ends. Only
when the People are saved from exploitation will the World be ready for
God,
but not before! Only Socialism can
liberate them from capitalist exploitation.
Only Socialism can prepare them for Social Transcendentalism!
CYCLE
FIFTEEN
1. Pornography is a scientific perversion
of sex
which enslaves women to the heathen light ... of a photographic
reproduction. In fact, pornography
reverses the usual roles of the sexes by placing woman-as-model in the
'starry
firmament' of photographic images which, by dint of their glossy
nature, induce
a quasi-heliotropic 'sucking-up' of men (more likely to be effeminate)
from
below!
2. One might say that pornography is to
lustful
promiscuity what Marx was to Bolshevism, or even Jehovah to Satan - the
cosmic
backdrop, as it were, to a solar 'fall'.
3. Pornography is basically more a thing of
the
light (photography) than of the fire (lust).
Nevertheless it is inconceivable that promiscuity would exist to
anything like the same extent without a pornographic precondition.
4. There are two main kinds of promiscuity:
the
first kind exists in direct relation to pornography itself, as a
masturbatory
deference to the photographic image; and the second kind exists in an
indirect relation
to pornography, as a sexual imposition upon woman-as-nature. Thus it could be argued that where the first
is Bolshevik, the second is effectively Soviet (taking that word in its
post-Bolshevik but pre-Socialist sense).
The first is absolutely Satanic, the second relatively so.
5. Beyond the quasi-heliotropic
'sucking-up' of
the Cursed Whore to promiscuous males ... is the socialistic lesbianism
of what
may be called 'republican woman', which contrasts with the capitalistic
homosexuality of 'parliamentary man'.
Hence where lesbianism is the sexuality of the Antimother,
homosexuality
is the sexuality of the Antichrist.
6. 'Socialist sex', viz. lesbianism,
contrasts
with 'Soviet sex', viz. heterosexual promiscuity, as Pop with Rock 'n'
Roll -
the former basically feminine, the latter both masculine and feminine.
7. 'Capitalist sex', viz. homosexuality,
contrasts with 'Bolshevik sex', viz. masturbatory promiscuity, as Rap
with Jazz
- the former exclusively masculine, the latter submasculine.
8. At the back of 'Bolshevik sex' is the
Marxism
of pornography, which stands to masturbation, in its photographic
voyeurism, as
the Blues to Jazz.
9. The Bolshevism of Trad Jazz, or acoustic
Jazz
(a proton equivalence), is ideologically antecedent to the Sovietism of
Modern
Jazz and/or Fusion music, which, employing one or more electric
instruments, is
contiguous with the Socialist Sovietism (male-dominated) of Rock 'n'
Roll and
the Soviet Socialism (female-dominated) of Rock-Pop.
CYCLE
SIXTEEN
1. The Time of the heart vis-à-vis the
Space of
the lungs, with regard to the absolutism of noumenal distinctions. But the Volume of the
brain
vis-à-vis the Mass of the body (womb), with regard to the relativity of
phenomenal distinctions.
2. I would never claim to be on the side of
'evil religion' against, say, 'good science', the Father vis-à-vis the
Jehovahesque Clear Light of the Void, but I could not side with the
latter.
3. Even Nazism was a sort of 'evil
religion'
which, rooted in Fatherland fundamentalism, saw itself fighting a kind
of Holy
War against the scientific 'evils' of Marxism, Bolshevism, Judaism, etc.
4. I have long believed that Hitler was the
Germanic manifestation of the Second Coming, and that the Holocaust was
effectively a Nazi version of the Last Judgement.
5. Nazism was no friend of economics or
politics, capitalism or republicanism, but an 'evil religion' which,
following
the defeat of the economic and political middle-grounds,
swung into action against its real enemy - the 'evil science' of
Bolshevism.
6. As a
basically evil,
or fundamentalist, manifestation of religion, Islam has also launched
so-called
Holy Wars against its scientific antithesis, principally Soviet
Communism.
7. Unlike
Fundamentalism,
which is rooted in the Father or some such embodiment of pride and
strength,
Transcendentalism could never launch a 'Holy War'.
Nothing defies the concept of war more than a
religion centred in the Holy Spirit of Heaven, a religion which, being
true, is
beyond war ... in the 'peace that surpasses all understanding'.
8. Social Transcendentalism will never seek
to
advance the Holy Spirit of Heaven through war.
Rather will it seek to deliver religious peoples from the
Father, and
thus from the possibility of raging 'Holy Wars'.
9. The only instance in which it might
be
relatively permissible for Social Transcendentalist peoples to offer
armed
resistance ... would be in the defence of Social Transcendentalism from
outside
interference, but even then only as a last resort!
Yet such a defence would not amount to a
'Holy War', since the Father wouldn't be at stake, but, rather, to a
sort of
'Unholy Peace'.
10. Thus if the worst came to the worst, it would
be better to wage an 'Unholy Peace' ... of propaganda and other
(police-centred) struggle against outside interference ... than simply
capitulate and allow evil to triumph over good.
11. Such an 'Unholy Peace', however, would be very
much the exception to the rule; for the rule of 'Holy Peace' is alone
commensurate with the aims and intentions of Social Transcendentalism -
the
ideology of what is effectively if not literally, at this point in
time, a true
world religion ... of the Holy Spirit of Heaven.

1. The cerebral superconscious stands to
the
superconscious per
se as LSD (or some equivalent synthetic hallucinogen) to
transcendental meditation or, in sexual terms, CD-ROM erotica to
plastic
inflatables.
2. Unity with the superconscious lifts one
above
consciousness to a supra-conscious level of spiritual beatitude,
wherein the
self is one with the universal self.
Such a oneness is the Supreme Being
... of the
Holy Spirit of Heaven.
3. The truth of the Holy Spirit of Heaven
is as
far removed from the illusion of the Clear Light of the Void ... as it
is
possible to be - the gnostical truth of air as opposed to the mystical
illusion
of light.
4. Since light
is
everywhere the main enemy of spirit, it will be necessary for Social
Transcendentalism to devise stratagems for curtailing and reducing its
influence, in order that the truth of spirit may develop more fully.
5. Those who are rooted in the light must
pass
through the 'Black Hole' of democratic darkness before there can be any
possibility
of them emerging, reborn, into the spirit, following a vote for
religious
sovereignty.
6. Those who
are saved
to the spirit can never be damned to the light; for illusion is beneath
the
pale of truth.
7. The intellectual not-self is antinatural
(conscious) and contrasts with the naturalism (unconsciousness) of the
sensual
self, whereas the soulful not-self is subnatural (subconscious) and
contrasts
with the supernaturalism (superconsciousness) of the spiritual self.
8. The
supernatural is
beyond nature, like a superman beyond woman, whereas the subnatural is
behind
nature, like a subman behind man.
9. The
supernatural is
idealist and/or transcendentalist, depending whether (relative to alpha
or
omega, negative or positive distinctions) it is illusory or truthful,
whereas
the subnatural is naturalist and/or fundamentalist, depending whether
(again
relative to antithetical distinctions) it is weak or strong.
10. The antinatural is
materialist and/or nonconformist, depending whether (relative to alpha
or
omega, negative or positive distinctions) it is ignorant or
knowledgeable,
whereas the natural is realist and/or humanist, depending whether
(again
relative to antithetical distinctions) it is ugly or beautiful.
11. The ancient Hebrews
were forbidden, in their Old Testament Bible, the 'tree of knowledge',
and
subsequently rejected Christ, who corresponds, in his purgatorial
antinaturalism, to a knowledgeable nonconformism.
12. Knowledge for its own sake, rather than in
regard to the self, breeds Nonconformism, which runs contrary to the
World and
the Jehovahesque injunction placed upon the ancient Hebrews to
'increase and
multiply'. Christian celibacy would have
been anathema to the Jews.
13. If knowledge for its own sake, or knowledge of
knowledge within the intellectual not-self, breeds Nonconformism, then
ignorance breeds Parliamentarianism and a sort of inverted celibacy,
whereby
carnal pressures are released homosexually ... in due Antichristic
fashion.
14. Thus while the antinaturalism of Christian
nonconformism is in celibacy vis-à-vis woman (though not, however, in
pederasty
vis-à-vis children in what is patently a decadent mode of nonconformist
antinaturalism), the antinaturalism of Antichristian materialism is in
sodomy,
the iceman's answer to the mind.
CYCLE
EIGHTEEN
1. The tragedy of the Holy Ghost is that it
cannot become the Holy Spirit of Heaven while Heaven (air) is hogged by
the
Father.
2. The tragedy of the Mother is that she
cannot be
saved to the Holy Spirit of Heaven while her breasts are giving suck to
the
Son.
3. Heaven is likely to continue being
hogged by
fathers while they are free to enter into carnal relations with women,
and thus
stand to their partners as the Father to the Mother, subverting air to
the
service of love's passion by using it as a vehicle with which to fan
the
inflamed heart to greater emotional heights.
4. If Heaven is to become a reality, a time
must
surely come when, with a view to developing artificial reproductive
methods,
males are subject to vasectomy more or less as a matter of ideological
principle.
5. Likewise, if women are not to remain the
victims of their breasts, a time must come when females are subject to
mastectomy as a matter of ideological course.
6. Saved from their testicles, men will be
less
disposed to imposing themselves upon women, and therefore cease to
behave in
the manner of fathers.
7. Saved from their breasts, women will be
more
disposed to taking the Holy Spirit of Heaven seriously, and will
therefore
cease to behave in the manner of mothers.
8. Reproduction and nurturing will
increasingly
devolve upon science, which will be pledged to the development of
artificial
alternatives to those natural processes which have traditionally
characterized
the animal foundations of human life.
9. Eventually, science will supplant nature
as
the means by which life is reproduced and nurtured, leading,
ultimately,
towards post-human life forms in the Millennium, the coming period of
'heaven
on earth'.
10. In such fashion,
life
will be removed from the shackles of humanism and handed over to the
care of
methods which will advance the cause of transcendentalism.
11. We have only just begun to enter upon this
alternative course to natural reproduction,
and have
yet to make it a matter of ideological principle.
12. Many of the alternatives which are now
optional will become mandatory in the course of our future progression
towards
higher stages of evolution.
13. In this respect, we
have only just begun to scratch the surface of a whole New World, which
will
bear no resemblance to the one humanity has been accustomed to
inhabiting since
time immemorial.
CYCLE
NINETEEN
1. The British
do not like
snobs because, being mostly slobs and yobs, they are accustomed to
'sucking up'
to nobs, and, climatic factors notwithstanding, are not prepared to do
violence
to themselves, after the manner of the 'born-again' saint.
2. To be a snob,
one
has to have both the ability and courage to go against the grain of the
philistine majority, and think for oneself.
3. Slobs do not think for themselves, yobs
allow
others to think for them, and nobs rely on their instincts to avoid
thought as
much as possible.
4. Thinking is only dangerous to the man
who
cannot control it; to the man who can, it is merely a tool.
5. The best thought is a key which unlocks
the
door into truth.
6. Ultimately, truth liberates one from
thinking; for it transcends thought, as Heaven transcends Purgatory. Yet, when all's said and done, one cannot get
to truth except through thought.
7. The man who thinks he has the truth
without
ever having thought deeply and systematically about it ... is a
self-deceiving
liar!
8. Those who cannot think
their way to the truth are more likely to discover something - though
not all -
about it either through writing, reading, or talking.
9. The best thinkers are generally the
worst
readers (for the former occupation tends to exclude the latter), while,
conversely, the worst writers are generally the best talkers (for the
latter
occupation tends to exclude the former).
10. You can focus meditative breath at the
so-called 'crown centre' in the brain but, ultimately, such breath will
only be
properly focused in the lungs, the seat of the spirit.
11. Focusing meditative breath at the 'crown
centre' is, I believe, a 'bovaryization' of spirituality relevant to
the brain,
and thus to an intellectual person.
12. Focusing meditative
breath at the throat is, I believe, a 'bovaryization' of spirituality
relevant
to the heart, and thus to a soulful person.
13. Focusing meditative
breath at the stomach is, I believe, a 'bovaryization' of spirituality
relevant
to the womb, and thus to a sensual person.
14. One can focus meditative breath at one or a
number of different places but, ultimately, meditation will be most
centred in
the lungs, the 'temple of the Holy Spirit'.
15. He whose meditative breath is most comfortably
and naturally focused on the lungs is truly a spiritual person, not one
whose
approach to spirituality is necessarily constrained by some other - and
possibly contrary - allegiance.
16. The soulful person (rooted in the heart), the
intellectual person (rooted in the brain), and the sensual person
(centred in
the body) will all 'bovaryize' spirituality from their respective
standpoints,
but it is still better that they should approach spirituality in such
paradoxical fashions than not be spiritual at all!
CYCLE
TWENTY
1. The 'sign of the cross', as made by
Catholics, confirms a subjective tendency, in keeping with the nature
of
genuine religion (even in its phenomenal guise). Protestants,
on
the other hand, are
comparatively bereft of religious subjectivity.
2. The very word 'Protestant' suggests a
negative mentality, a mentality of protesting
against
something or, more specifically, of being rooted in a protest
against
Catholic universality, and hence by implication the
3. The
Protestant is
therefore a rather negative and demonstrative individual who, due to an
incapacity to live or understand religious subjectivity, rejects
Catholicism
and its promise and hope of a better world (Heaven) to come. For such a 'better world' can only be
established on the basis of a higher order (noumenal rather than
phenomenal) of
subjectivity.
4. I have elsewhere effectively argued that
there is no moral justification for Protestantism, since its
purgatorial
rejection of the World inevitably leads (given the objective nature of
the
plane in question) to lunar materialism, and therefore I resolutely
maintain
that the Reformation was an heretical aberration which paved the way
for the
worst excesses of materialism and naturalism such that, in the
twentieth
century, came to damnable fruition.
5. In fact, so little can Protestantism be
morally justified, in view of its objective nature, that one is led to
infer a
class and/or racial disposition of certain people(s) towards an
economic, if
not a scientific, hegemony, with the rejection of religion as its
logical
corollary.
6. Even Catholicism may only be - as I in
fact
happen to believe - a 'bovaryization' of religion relevant to a
political
hegemony, whether in terms, traditionally, of Catholic monarchism or,
subsequently, of republicanism.
7. Certainly, Catholicism is less than true
religion in relation to the Social Transcendentalism which the
Messianic
equivalent of a Second Coming would establish on the basis of mass
religious sovereignty,
and the concomitant acceptance, by the People, of the Holy Spirit of
Heaven as
the One True God.
8. One could describe Catholicism as
beautiful
religion, given the importance of the Blessed Virgin as the focal-point
of
phenomenal subjectivity in relation to the World. Yet,
even
then, this beautiful religion is
diluted, if not vitiated, by Old-Testament influences which hark back
towards
scientific illusion and the correlative subversion of religious truth.
9. There is, within Christianity, a
terrible
struggle and tension between, on the one hand, the scientific illusions
of the
mystical Old Testament and, on the other hand, the religious truths of
the
gnostical New Testament (as in the case of an 'eye-for-an-eye'
vis-à-vis
'turning the other cheek'), with the further complication that the
Father in
relation to Christ is not Jehovah, but a much more personal Creator who
stands
at a fundamentalist remove from the transpersonal 'Creator of the
Universe' and
His cosmic idealism.
10. What condemns Christianity, in the final
analysis, is not the shortcomings of the New Testament in relation to
Christ,
nor even the cult of the Blessed Virgin, but the hopeless muddle and
ambivalence which result from its accommodation, through the Old
Testament, of scientific
illusion. The cosmic idealism of Jehovah
acts as a brake and effective block on the development of religious
truth to
its optimum level in the gnostical transcendentalism of the Holy Spirit
of
Heaven. Only when mankind are freed,
through Messianic deliverance, from the scientific tyranny of the Bible
...
will religion come truly into its own, consigning the Hebraic Clear
Light of
the Void to the 'rubbish tip' of cosmic idealism.
11. Despite the triumph of science in the
twentieth century, including the victory of the Anglo-American/Soviet
alliance
against Nazi Germany, religion still survives on a basis, relative to
the
Catholic New Testament, which remains open to and hopeful of the
Truth,
and thus the establishment, in due Messianic course, of 'Kingdom Come'.
12. It could be argued that the more decadent and
even barbarous the Protestant-dominated West has become, the more the
Old
Testament has eclipsed the New Testament in effective usage, until,
with the
triumph of Anglo-American scientific neo-paganism, even the Old
Testament has
had to make way for older and more idealistic texts of the sort
favoured by
devotees of the Clear Light of the Void.

1. Protestantism led to democracy, as
protests
against the Church were followed, in due course, by demonstrations
against the
State.
2. The Church exorcised demons from
demented

Protest-ants, or Protestants who no longer protest against the

whereas the
8. It is impossible to reconcile the
Protestant
State with the Catholic Church or, conversely, the
9. Wealth for some as opposed to justice
for all
... is the heretical line which divides Protestant economics from
Catholic
politics, ensuring that the Protestant State and the Catholic Church
remain
forever apart.
10. The relationship between Catholic State and
Church is akin to a man who hands over his earnings to his wife's
keeping in
order that they may be evenly distributed throughout his family, while
the
relationship between Protestant Church and State is akin to a woman who
gives
her body to her husband's keeping in order that he may shower clothes
and
jewels upon it in confirmation of his wealth.
The former relationship exists to exemplify the political will
of the
Church, the latter relationship ... to glorify the economic power of
the State.
11. The Protestant
State
is less a vehicle for political administration than a framework of
economic
exploitation, in contrast to the overriding political concerns - and
objectives
- of the
12. Just as the Catholic Church, with its
political concerns of freedom and justice for all, is more genuine than
the
Protestant Church, so, by a converse token, the Protestant State is,
given its
economic elitism, more genuine than the Catholic State.
13. Behind the (economic) State is the diabolic
Kingdom of a scientific hegemony, while beyond the (political) Church
is the
divine 'Kingdom' (Centre) of a religious hegemony.
14. Where the State per
se
is phenomenally objective, the Kingdom is (or was) noumenally objective. And where the Church per se is
phenomenally subjective, the Centre is (or will be) noumenally
subjective.
15. The Centre, or context of religious
sovereignty, will arise, phoenix-like, from the political ashes of the
Catholic
Church and its Republican State when the time comes for the
Resurrection (from
the living death) to the Life Eternal.

1. The Word is not only a tool to enable
one to
express truth (or a specific ideology); it is also a weapon to strike
fear into
the hearts and minds of pharisees!
2. Although relatively good for their
practitioners, the Arts tend to be bad for the general public, the
reason being
that they force people back upon their senses, thereby enslaving them
to
appearances.
3. It is much less rewarding to view a
painting
than to paint one; much less rewarding to listen to music than to
compose it;
much less rewarding to develop a taste for literature than to write it;
much
less rewarding to touch sculpture than to sculpt it.
In fact, if truth be told, it is effectively
self-defeating.
4. While there may be some
moral justification for people actively to pursue some art form, there
is
little or no moral justification for selling the resultant product on a
commercial basis, and thereby inducing people to 'suck-up' in an orgy
of
sensual self-immolation.
5. The more commercialized art products
become
the less bearing they have on the service and/or development of beauty
(much
less truth), in consequence of which the public are degraded by the
paradoxical
spectacle of science posing as art.
6. There is no art in commercially ripping
people off; rather, it is a science which panders to the senses and
reaps its
due material rewards.
7. Just as the Arts are corrupted by
commerce
and reduced, despite all the glare of publicity, to a mere shadow of
their
genuine manifestations, so religion is likewise corrupted by it and
transformed
into a mystical science.
8. 'God' for the average heliotropic
devotee of
commercial religion is not 'in the self', but most assuredly 'out
there' ... in
the celluloid and platinum 'stars'.
9. 'God', too, has been 'brought low' by
commerce and transformed into a concept that hides behind films, like a
director pulling strings.
10. Basically, there is nothing Christian about
the Anglo-American West; Christ died before the birth of
11. In celluloid terms,
cinematic monotheism is monochromatic and cinematic polytheism ...
polychromatic.
12. Preaching Christianity through film is a
contradiction in terms which simply results in the Christian message of
spiritual rebirth (from light to air) being subverted and subsumed
within the
overall neo-pagan culture of light-dominated media.
13. Television evangelism, so prevalent in the
USA, is a form of Christian paganism which testifies to the moral
bankruptcy of
religion in the modern age.
14. Even churches are now run as a business, with
strict financial accountability (to the State) with regard, for
instance, to
tourism and trade in religious artefacts!
15. Not the least sacrilegious of modern trends is
the increasing prevalence with which cameras of one kind or another are
free to
poke their lenses around the interiors of churches and record, for the
cultural
bewitchment of the occult-slavering masses, a variety of ungodly
goings-on -
from vandalism and theft to outright murder.
16. There is nothing, I repeat nothing,
Christian
about
the contemporary Anglo-American West.
Only a rampant commercial neo-paganism which
holds the
masses in thrall to its 'star'-worshipping idolatry.
17. A product is worth as much, or as little, as
the price that is attached to it, and no more!
18. Any intrinsic value a product may have is soon
compromised, and even eclipsed, by the commercial value which is
attached to
it, like a millstone around its moral neck.

tag that is attached to them; most are killed off by it as a matter of
commercial necessity.

TWENTY-NINE
1. What puts cricket beneath the Gaelic
Irish
pale, morally speaking, is the centrifugal freedom which permits the
batsman to
strike the ball at any angle around the ground.
2. It is precisely because of its
centrifugal
freedom in regard to batting strokes ... that cricket could never be an
Irish
game, but, on the contrary, one reflecting the British, and in
particular English,
openness to alpha-stemming aggression.
3. If cricket is fundamentally immoral on
account of its openness to alpha-stemming aggression of an overly
objective and
centrifugal character, it is arguably less immoral than, say, baseball,
which
is bereft of stumps and therefore effectively more naturalistic than
materialistic, reflecting the American tendency, in particular, towards
stellar
and/or solar rather than lunar criteria.
4. Baseball is thus, in a sense,
more extreme than cricket, just as the sun is more extreme than the
moon, and
barbarism more extreme than civilization.
5. Baseball, in which the ball can be hit
in
virtually any frontal direction, would be no-less morally unattractive
from,
say, a Catholic Irish standpoint than cricket, given its centrifugal
freedoms.
6. When the Irish use a bat or, rather,
stick,
as in Hurling, it is in the focused manner of one who aims to score
pints
between the posts of a goal.
7. There is a sense in which sport is a
feminine
form of war no less than dance a feminine form of sex.
8. War and sex are
masculine activities, sport and dance, by contrast, feminine ones.
9. It is tempting to see America as
barbarous
where Britain is simply civilized decadence; but, in point of fact,
10. It was perhaps the fact of its cosmic
civilization, so often characterized by Neo-Orientalism, which made -
and I
would guess continues to make - America especially sensitive to
Bolshevik
barbarism, as though in Jehovahesque recoil
from a
Satanic 'fall'.
11. The 'light' of America feared the 'fire' of
Bolshevism/Sovietism, even given the considerable amount of its own
fiery
culture and the threat to pagan civilization which this necessarily
poses.
12. Television against
computers would be a realistic equivalent of the Satanic threat to
Jehovah,
whereas the naturalistic one is probably cinema against virtual reality.
13. Magazines against comic books would be a
materialistic equivalent of the satanic threat to Jehovah, whereas the
idealistic one is probably cocaine, or other such chemical drugs,
against
light-centred meditation.
14. My hunch is that the idealistic context ... of
cocaine against meditation is what most accords with a barbarous threat
to
American civilization from within itself, since naturalism,
materialism, and
realism are effectively peripheral to cosmic civilization.
15. Sovietism will always be the sun from which
the American stars recoiled in horror of a 'fall' into barbarism, just
as
Socialism is the earth from which the lunar civilization of Britain
recoils in
fear of a 'fall' into nature.
16. It is as though sport fears war and sex fears
dance ... where these two dominating types of Western civilization are
concerned.
17. For, of course,
barbarism is a threat to culture, even negative culture, no less than
nature to
civilization.
CYCLE
THIRTY
1. The dance of nature contrasts no less
with the
sex of civilization ... than the war of barbarism with the sport of
culture.
2. Nature is the framework in which the
dance of
mundane life is celebrated, while civilization is the framework in
which the
sex of overworldly death is conducted.
3. Barbarism is the framework in which the
war
of netherworldly death is conducted, while culture is the framework in
which
the spirit of Eternal Life is celebrated.
4. The Devil
rules war
as man governs sex, woman represents dance, and God leads sport.
5. The more
sport, the
less war; the more dance, the less sex; conversely the less dance, the
more
sex; the less sport, the more war.

1. Behind, and
therefore anterior to, Christian 'good and evil' is the absolute evil
... of
pagan strength.
2. Beyond, and
therefore posterior to, Christian 'good and evil' is the absolute good
... of
transcendental truth.
3. Christian 'good and evil' is divisible
between nonconformist knowledge and humanist beauty, the former 'evil'
from a
Catholic standpoint but 'good' from a Protestant one, the latter 'evil'
from a
Protestant standpoint but 'good' from a Catholic one.
4. The Catholic concept of 'good and evil',
which, being Christian, is necessarily phenomenal, was a humanist
revolt
against the absolute evil of pagan strength, rooted in the Father (or,
more
correctly, His pagan equivalent), which made the phenomenal
subjectivity of the
Mother, identifiable with beauty, symbolic of goodness, thereby
elevating the
worldly 'Meek' at the expense of the netherworldly 'Proud', in
deference to a
Christian 'rebirth' and effective transvaluation of values.
5. With
Catholicism,
the womb replaces the heart as the focus of moral virtue - virtue being
phenomenally good as opposed, in pagan contexts, to noumenally evil.
6. Hence, for Catholicism, the Christic
context
of Purgatory, identifiable with knowledge, is phenomenally evil, given
the
'objective' nature of the purgatorial plane, and Christ must
accordingly stay
close to the World, and hence the Mother, if He is to pass muster
as a moral exemplar and champion of the Meek.
7. Protestantism reverses the Christian
concept
of 'good and evil' by conceiving, erroneously, of knowledge as 'good'
and
beauty as 'evil', thereby making a moral virtue out of phenomenal evil
(knowledge)
in an unequivocally purgatorial allegiance which isolates Christ from
the
Mother and effectively condemns the latter to a false identification
with evil,
the consequences of which can only be oppressive for the World.
8. With
Protestantism,
the brain becomes the focus of moral virtue while the womb is
castigated, along
with sex, as moral vice, and this contrary to the fact that it is
knowledge
rather than beauty which is phenomenally evil, given its correlation
with
purgatorial 'objectivity'.
9. The consequence of the Protestant heresy
of
conceiving of knowledge, contrary to Biblical teachings with regard to
the
'forbidden tree', as 'good' and beauty as 'evil' ... is a puritanical
recoil
from and persecution of sex from the false perspective of its own
purgatorial
isolation from the World.
10. Since the phenomenal subjectivity of the womb,
and hence the Mother, is considered 'evil' from a Protestant
standpoint, Hell
for Protestants is 'down below' with, as often as not, the heaviness of
the
World, viz. sex, the flesh, the womb, etc.
11. In reality, the
World
is a phenomenal heaven in its phenomenal subjectivity and fleshy
heaviness
which is less an evil than a lesser (in relation to airy lightness)
good. It is the overly purgatorial realm
of
knowledge which is relatively evil and thus a phenomenal hell which, in
the
attractive fatality of damnation, tends, with time, towards the
noumenal hell
of absolute evil, the heart eclipsing the brain as the Father replaces
Christ
in the drift of phenomenal objectivity towards its noumenal counterpart.
12. It has been said, not without reason, that
knowledge is power, and certainly this is so to the extent that
knowledge tends
towards strength when used independently and in defiance of beauty, and
thus
the possibility of truth.
13. Analogous to knowledge being power, one could
of course argue, echoing Keats, that beauty is truth, though only to
the extent
that we acknowledge a parallel drift of phenomenal subjectivity towards
its
noumenal counterpart as, tempered by the right kind of (Messianic)
knowledge,
the Holy Spirit supersedes the Mother, and the noumenal heaven, centred
in the
lungs, of absolute good replaces the phenomenal heaven, centred in the
womb, of
relative good - the 'good' as upheld and practised by Catholic
Christianity.
CYCLE
THIRTY-TWO
1. To be 'beyond good and evil' is not to
be
indifferent to either good or evil, but to be given, instead, to the
noumenal
subjectivity, through truth, of absolute good.
It is to have abandoned Christian relativity for transcendental
absolutism.
2. The man who is 'beyond good and evil' is
no
longer human, still less inhuman and/or subhuman, but effectively
superhuman,
and thus divine.
3. Protestant inhumanism contrasts with
Catholic
humanism as the phenomenal objectivity of knowledge with the phenomenal
subjectivity of beauty, while fundamentalist subhumanism contrasts with
transcendentalist superhumanism as the noumenal objectivity of strength
with
the noumenal subjectivity of truth.
4. The relative evil, germane to knowledge,
of
Protestant inhumanism contrasts with the relative good, germane to
beauty, of
Catholic humanism, while the absolute evil, germane to strength, of
fundamentalist subhumanism contrasts with the absolute good, germane to
truth,
of transcendentalist superhumanism.
5. The
distinction
between objectivity and subjectivity, whether noumenal or phenomenal,
is
effectively one of freedom and binding, the former evil, the latter
good.
6. When economics and science are 'free',
and
not constrained by moral considerations of either a political
(phenomenal) or a
religious (noumenal) order, we have the freedom so dear to the
Anglo-American
dominated so-called 'Free World', with its economic (capitalist
free-trade) and
scientific (technological and chemical) hegemonies.
7. The traditional revolt of Protestants in
8. Both political and religious hegemonies,
as
represented by republicanism in the former context and by
transcendentalism in
the latter one, reject the sort of objective freedoms so dear to the
Protestant
(nonconformist) and fundamentalist (Masonic) traditions, and do so,
moreover,
from subjective, and therefore moral, points of view - the former
phenomenal,
the latter noumenal.
9. Neither Protestantism nor Catholicism
are
religiously hegemonic, but 'bovaryizations' of religion relevant to
economic
(capitalist) and political (republican) hegemonies respectively. Protestantism, as we have seen, focuses upon
knowledge, and Catholicism, by contrast, upon beauty, neither of which
are
truly spiritual but, rather, accommodations of religion to the
intellect and
the will, the former germane to the purgatorial Overworld, the latter
to the
mundane World.
10. As a worldly mode of religion, Catholicism is
first and foremost concerned with beauty, as personified by the Blessed
Virgin,
and only secondarily with political or social concerns.
11. As an overworldly
mode of religion, Protestantism is first and foremost concerned with
knowledge,
as exemplified in the Gospels, and only secondarily with economic
concerns.
12. As a netherworldly mode of religion,
Fundamentalism is first and foremost concerned with strength, as
exemplified in
soulful ritual, and only secondarily with scientific concerns.
13. As a supra-worldly (heavenly) mode of
religion, Transcendentalism is exclusively concerned with truth, as
exemplified
in spiritual devotions, and not at all with scientific, economic, or
political
concerns ... except insofar as these lower disciplines pander, along
appropriately 'bovaryized' lines, to its advancement.
CYCLE
THIRTY-THREE
1. Just as we distinguished between
religious
'good and evil', so we should distinguish between scientific 'anti-good
and
anti-evil', viz. negative good and evil; economic 'inner anti-good and
inner anti-evil',
viz. inner negative good and evil; and political 'outer good and outer
evil',
viz. outer positive good and evil; always remembering, however, that
such
distinctions are subject to both absolute and relative, or noumenal and
phenomenal, evaluations.
2. If, in religion,
absolute evil is strength and absolute good arguably truth, then, in
science,
absolute anti-evil is anti-strength, viz. weakness, and absolute
anti-good
arguably anti-truth, viz. illusion.
3. If, in religion,
relative evil is knowledge and relative good arguably beauty, then, in
science,
relative anti-evil is anti-knowledge, viz. ignorance, and relative
anti-good
arguably anti-beauty, viz. ugliness.
4. Just as, in religion, absolute evil
appertains to fundamentalism and
absolute good to transcendentalism,
so, in science, absolute anti-evil appertains to naturalism and
absolute
anti-good to idealism.
5. Just as, in religion, relative evil
appertains to nonconformism and relative good to humanism, so, in
science,
relative anti-evil appertains to materialism and relative anti-good to
realism.
6. If, in politics, absolute outer evil is
outer
strength and absolute outer good arguably outer truth, then, in
economics,
absolute inner anti-evil is inner anti-strength, viz. inner weakness,
and
absolute inner anti-good arguably inner anti-truth, viz. inner illusion.
7. If, in politics, relative outer evil is
outer
knowledge and relative outer good arguably outer beauty, then, in
economics,
relative inner anti-evil is inner anti-knowledge, viz. inner ignorance,
and
relative inner anti-good arguably inner anti-beauty, viz. inner
ugliness.
8. Just as, in politics, absolute outer
evil
appertains to authoritarianism and absolute outer good to
totalitarianism, so,
in economics, absolute inner anti-evil appertains to communism and
absolute
inner anti-good to corporatism.
9. Just as, in politics, relative outer
evil
appertains to parliamentarianism and relative outer good to
republicanism, so,
in economics, relative inner anti-evil appertains to capitalism and
relative
inner anti-good to socialism.
10. With regard to the scientific and religious
quadruplicities, the negative good and evil alternatives of the former
are
implicitly outer, while the positive good
and evil
alternatives of the latter are implicitly inner.
11. Hence scientific anti-good and anti-evil are
really outer anti-good and anti-evil (in both phenomenal and noumenal
contexts)
in relation to the inner negative alternatives of economic anti-good
and
anti-evil, while religious good and evil are really inner good and evil
(in
both phenomenal and noumenal contexts) in relation to the outer
positive
alternatives of political good and evil.
12. In the negative, or objective, quadruplicities
the outer is clear and the inner ... unclear, viz. the Clear Light of
Space
(the Void), and the Unclear Light of Heaven, whereas in the positive,
or
subjective, quadruplicities, by contrast, the outer is unholy and the
inner ...
holy, viz. the Unholy Spirit of Space and the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
13. We may thus distinguish the scientific
idealism of the Clear Light of Space, which is absolute anti-good, from
the
economic corporatism of the Unclear Light of Heaven, which is absolute
inner
anti-good, while likewise distinguishing the political totalitarianism
of the
Unholy Spirit of Space, which is absolute outer good, from the
religious
transcendentalism of the Holy Spirit of Heaven, which is absolute good.
14. Similarly we may distinguish the scientific
naturalism of the Clear Fire of Time, which is absolute anti-evil, from
the
economic communism of the Unclear Fire of Hell, which is absolute inner
anti-evil, while likewise distinguishing the political authoritarianism
of the
Unholy Soul of Time, which is absolute outer evil, from the religious
fundamentalism
of the Holy Soul of Hell, which is absolute evil.
15. Likewise we may distinguish the scientific
realism of the Clear Earth of Mass, which is relative anti-good, from
the
economic socialism of the Unclear Earth of the World, which is relative
inner
anti-good, while similarly distinguishing the political republicanism
of the
Unholy Will of Mass, which is relative outer good, from the religious
humanism
of the Holy Will of the World, which is relative good.
16. Finally we may distinguish the scientific
materialism of the Clear Water of Volume, which is relative anti-evil,
from the
economic capitalism of the Unclear Water of Purgatory, which is
relative inner
anti-evil, while likewise distinguishing the political liberalism of
the Unholy
Mind of Volume, which is relative outer evil, from the religious
nonconformism
of the Holy Mind of Purgatory, which is relative evil.

1. The private person has about as much
chance
of getting published ... as the public person of receiving privacy. In fact, publication and publicity are as
germane to the public domain ... as privacy and privatization to the
private
one.
2. To publish
philosophy, especially when of the highest metaphysical order
(theosophical),
is really a sort of contradiction in terms, since so intensely private
a
pursuit can only be understood and appreciated by a comparatively small
minority of persons at the best of times, who lead, for the most part,
intensely private lives.
3. No-one writes philosophy for money;
together
with fame and power, money is the last thing in the philosopher's mind.
4. One writes philosophy in order the
better to
understand both oneself and the world in general, and to establish, as
far as
is humanly possible, a new criterion of truth.
5. One doesn't write philosophy in order to
start a revolution or found a new type of society.
Such events are rather more a by-product of
philosophy than a conscious philosophical aim.
6. The poet, who is virtually as far
removed
from the philosopher as the artist from the musician, is the worst of
writers
whose sympathy is, or should be, rather more with the Father than with
the Holy
Spirit. In fact, so much is the poet a
creature of the heart ... that he is unable to escape from time.
7. So-called 'free verse' is rather more
the
'poetry' of prose writers than of genuine poets.
8. If subjectivity is feminine and
objectivity
... masculine, then subjectivity is left wing and objectivity ... right
wing.
9. To conceive of a left-wing/right-wing
dichotomy between femininity and masculinity is to distinguish between
the
phenomenal subjective as left wing and the phenomenal objective as
right wing,
since subjectivity is feminine and objectivity ... masculine.
10. Just as we distinguish between phenomenal and
noumenal with regard to subjectivity, so we can distinguish the Left
from the
Extreme Left on the basis of a phenomenal/noumenal subjective
distinction.
11. Whatever is left wing
will be phenomenally subjective, whereas that which is extreme left
wing will
be noumenally subjective - a distinction, in effect, between the World
and
Heaven, or beauty and truth.
12. Just as we distinguish between phenomenal and
noumenal with regard to objectivity, so we can distinguish the Right
from the
Extreme Right on the basis of a phenomenal/noumenal objective
distinction.
13. Whatever is right wing
will be phenomenally objective, whereas that which is extreme right
wing will
be noumenally objective - a distinction, in effect, between Purgatory
and Hell,
or knowledge and power (strength).
14. Just as beauty leads towards truth, so can the
Left lead to the Extreme Left, as from phenomenal subjectivity to its
noumenal
counterpart.
15. And just as
knowledge
leads towards power, so can the Right lead to the Extreme Right, as
from
phenomenal objectivity to its noumenal counterpart.
16. The progression of
beauty to truth, the Left to the Extreme Left, is akin to salvation -
the
salvation of the World to Heaven.
17. The progression or,
rather, regression of knowledge to power, the Right to the Extreme
Right, is
akin to damnation - the damnation of Purgatory to Hell.
18. There are different ways of being left or
right wing, extreme left or right wing,
corresponding to the distinctions, for example, between science,
economics,
politics, and religion.
19. Broadly, and in general terms, science is
extreme right wing, economics right wing, politics left wing, and
religion
extreme left wing; though this is relative to the per
se
positions in any given quadruplicity.
20. One could speak, in scientific terms, of the
extreme right-wing nature of the ears (hearing) as against the extreme
left-wing nature of the eyes (sight); as, indeed, of the right-wing
nature of
the tongue (taste) against the left-wing nature of the skin (touch).
21. Similarly one could speak of the extreme
right-wing nature of naturalist fire as against the extreme left-wing
nature of
idealist light; as, indeed, of the right-wing nature of materialist
water (ice)
against the left-wing nature of realist earth.
22. By contrast, one could speak, in religious
terms, of the extreme right-wing nature of fundamentalist soul as
against the
extreme left-wing nature of transcendentalist spirit; as, indeed, of
the
right-wing nature of nonconformist intellect against the left-wing
nature of
humanist will.
23. Likewise one could speak of the extreme
right-wing nature of the heart as against the extreme left-wing nature
of the
lungs; as, indeed, of the religious right-wing nature of the brain
against the
left-wing nature of the womb.
24. By contrast, one could speak, in economic
terms, of the extreme right-wing nature of communist time as against
the
extreme left-wing nature of corporate space; as, indeed, of the
right-wing nature
of capitalist volume against the left-wing nature of socialist mass.
25. Similarly one could speak of the extreme
right-wing nature of the backbrain as against the extreme left-wing
nature of
the forebrain; as, indeed, of the economic right-wing nature of the
right
midbrain against the left-wing nature of the left midbrain.
26. By contrast, one could speak, in political
terms, of the political extreme right-wing nature of authoritarian
blood as
against the extreme left-wing nature of totalitarian air; as, indeed,
of the
right-wing nature of parliamentary saliva against the left-wing nature
of
republican flesh.
27. Similarly one could speak of the extreme
right-wing nature of the subconscious as against the extreme left-wing
nature
of the superconscious; as, indeed, of the right-wing nature of the
conscious
against the left-wing nature of the unconscious.
28. In noumenal
religion, extreme right-wing fundamentalism contrasts with extreme
left-wing
transcendentalism ... as, in noumenal science, naturalism contrasts
with
idealism; as, in noumenal politics, authoritarianism contrasts with
totalitarianism; and as, in noumenal economics, communism contrasts
with
corporatism.
29. In phenomenal
religion, left-wing humanism contrasts with right-wing nonconformism
... as, in
phenomenal science, realism contrasts with materialism; as, in
phenomenal
politics, republicanism contrasts with parliamentarianism; and as, in
phenomenal economics, socialism contrasts with capitalism.
30. The religious salvation of humanism to
transcendentalism is paralleled by the scientific 'salvation' of
realism to
idealism; the political salvation of republicanism to totalitarianism;
and the
economic 'salvation' of socialism to corporatism.
31. The religious damnation of nonconformism to
fundamentalism is paralleled by the scientific 'damnation' of
materialism to
naturalism; the political damnation of parliamentarianism to
authoritarianism;
and the economic 'damnation' of capitalism to communism.
32. The salvation of beautiful religion (inner)
and politics (outer) to truthful religion (inner) and politics (outer)
is
accompanied - or should be - by the 'salvation' of ugly science
(anti-outer)
and economics (anti-inner) to illusory science (anti-outer) and
economics
(anti-inner).
33.
The damnation of knowledgeable religion (inner)
and politics (outer) to strong religion (inner) and politics (outer) is
accompanied - or should be - by the 'damnation' of ignorant science
(anti-outer) and economics (anti-inner) to weak science (anti-outer)
and
economics (anti-inner).
CYCLE
THIRTY-FIVE
1. Extreme left-wing science (idealism),
economics (Centre trusteeship), and politics (totalitarianism) are only
viable
in relation to the extreme left-wing religion per
se
of transcendentalism. In isolation from
transcendentalism, they can only, as 'bovaryized' entities, fail; for
no
'bovaryized' entity, be it scientific, economic, political, or even
religious,
has a right to independent existence, and few if any modes of
ideological
'bovaryization' are genuine or authentic manifestations of the
discipline in
question.
2. To me, the
extreme
left-wing mode of economics is inseparable from what I would call
Centre
trusteeship (of the means of production, etc.), as germane to Social
Transcendentalism and an end, in consequence, to both private
enterprise and
state control. When there is neither
state nor church but only the Centre, then the time will be ripe for
extreme
left-wing economics, politics, science, and, above all, religion, viz.
corporatism, totalitarianism, idealism, and transcendentalism.
3. As inconceivable that, in the extreme
right-wing contexts, communism, authoritarianism, and fundamentalism
could
succeed independently of naturalism, the extreme right-wing context per
se,
as that, in the right-wing contexts, parliamentarianism, nonconformism,
and
materialism could succeed independently of capitalism, the right-wing
context per
se, or that, in the left-wing contexts, humanism, realism, and
socialism
could succeed independently of republicanism, the left-wing context per
se.
4. Without
naturalism,
communist economics, authoritarian politics, and fundamentalist
religion are
but demons without a Devil to serve.
5. Without
capitalism,
liberal politics (parliamentarianism), nonconformist religion
(puritanism), and
materialist science (technology) are but boys without a man to serve.
6. Without
republicanism, humanist religion (catholicism), realist science, and
socialist
economics are but girls without a woman to serve.
7. Without
transcendentalism,
corporate economics, totalitarian politics, and idealist science are
but angels
without a God to serve.
8. Demons can no more succeed without the
rulership of a Devil, who symbolizes the extreme right-wing context per
se,
than boys succeed without the governance of a man, who symbolizes the
right-wing context per se.
9. Girls can no more succeed without the
representation of a woman, who symbolizes the left-wing context per
se,
than angels succeed without the leadership of a God, who symbolizes the
extreme
left-wing context per se.
10. Just as the Devil gives meaning to demons, so
man gives meaning to boys, woman gives meaning to girls, and God gives meaning to angels.
11. A society which strives to succeed on the
basis of demons or boys or girls or angels alone ... is basically
meaningless,
like a body without a head.

1. Civilization can both devolve from and
revert
to barbarism, just as culture can evolve from and revert to nature.
2. It would be no less difficult to imagine
civilization without some form of barbarism than ... culture without
some form
of nature.
3. Barbarism is more absolutist than
civilization, just as culture is more absolutist than nature.
4. The Devil is no less a symbol for
barbarism
... than God a symbol for culture, man a symbol for civilization, and
woman a
symbol for nature.
5. The extreme right-wing status of hellish
barbarism contrasts, on an absolute basis, with the extreme left-wing
status of
heavenly culture, while the right-wing status of purgatorial
civilization
contrasts, on a relative basis, with the left-wing status of mundane
nature.
6. The religious
barbarism of fundamentalism is affiliated to the scientific barbarism
of
naturalism, as are the economic barbarism of communism and the
political
barbarism of authoritarianism.
7. The
scientific
culture of idealism is affiliated to the religious culture of
transcendentalism, as are the economic culture of corporatism and the
political
culture of totalitarianism.
8. The political
civilization of parliamentarianism is affiliated to the economic
civilization
of capitalism, as are the scientific civilization of materialism and
the
religious civilization of nonconformism.
9. The economic
nature
of socialism is affiliated to the political nature of republicanism, as
are the
scientific nature of realism and the religious nature of humanism.
10. To contrast the extreme right-wing status of
noumenal objectivity, which is of the Devil, with the extreme left-wing
status
of noumenal subjectivity, which is of God - the former barbarous and
the latter
cultural.
11. Likewise to contrast the right-wing status of
phenomenal objectivity, which is of man, with the left-wing status of
phenomenal subjectivity, which is of woman - the former civilized and
the
latter natural.
12. Barbarism makes war not on civilization but on
culture, its noumenal antithesis, while civilization makes war not on
barbarism
but on nature, its phenomenal antithesis.
13. The objective alone makes war on the
subjective, whether in terms of noumenal absolutism or of phenomenal
relativity.
14. Objectivity is the lion that must 'lie down'
with the lamb (of subjectivity), and thus become a lamb itself, if
there is to
be any peace, whether mundane (and phenomenal) or divine (and noumenal).
15. So long as
barbarism
exists, there can be no peace for culture; so long as civilization
exists,
there can be no peace for nature.
16. Nature can only be saved to culture
(relatively speaking) when it is no longer being made war upon by
civilization.
17. Barbarism can only be
vanquished when the great majority of people want culture, and thus God.
18. Nature will only be free from being made war
upon by civilization when civilization accepts nature and effectively
becomes
one with it or, spurning that, is eclipsed by barbarism, and thus
negated.
19. Just as there are pockets of communal culture
within a barbarous society, so there will be pockets of concentrated
barbarism
within a cultural one.
20. Just as there are pockets of recreational
nature within a civilized society, so there will be pockets of
residential
civilization within a natural one.

shackles of British barbarism was achieved through republican nature,

in
step with Scotland and Wales, as the (hypothetical) former British
countries
joined
6. While Scotland and Wales would, I
believe, be
capable of culture along with Ireland, given their Gaelic traditions,
it is
altogether doubtful whether England would be capable of gravitating
from nature
to culture or even of embracing nature beforehand ... were it not for
the
considerable potential for racial transmutation which, compliments of
its
imperial legacy, characterizes contemporary England.

the Irish, subjected to, first, the encroachments of English
civilization and,

CYCLE
THIRTY-EIGHT
1. It could be said that,
traditionally, Gaelic culture embraced a rudimentary idealism,
corporatism,
totalitarianism, and transcendentalism. A return or, rather, progression to
superculture would entail the development of idealism, corporatism,
totalitarianism, and transcendentalism to unprecedented levels of
cultural
perfection.
2. Transcendentalism will be the 'pied
piper'
which leads idealism, corporatism, and totalitarianism a merry dance
within
'Kingdom Come'.
3. To contrast the culture of the
forebrain/superconscious with the barbarism of the
backbrain/subconscious.
4. Idealism appertains to the elemental forebrain, and corporatism to the molecular
forebrain. Conversely, totalitarianism
appertains to the
molecular superconscious, and transcendentalism to the elemental
superconscious.
5. Naturalism appertains to the elemental backbrain, and communism to the molecular
backbrain. Conversely, authoritarianism
appertains to
the molecular subconscious, and fundamentalism to the elemental
subconscious.
6. To contrast the civilization of the
right
midbrain/conscious with the nature of the left midbrain/unconscious.
7. Materialism appertains to the elemental
right-midbrain, and capitalism to the molecular right-midbrain. Conversely, liberalism (parliamentarianism)
appertains to the molecular conscious, and nonconformism to the
elemental
conscious.
8. Realism appertains to the elemental
left-midbrain, and socialism to the molecular left-midbrain. Conversely, republicanism appertains to the
molecular unconscious, and humanism to the elemental unconscious.
9. The brain/mind in its totality embraces
science, economics, politics, and religion on every
level
...
from
barbarism to culture via civilization and nature.
Thus the brain/mind is effectively an
open-ended entity in the scope and comprehensiveness of its capacities.
10. If one divides the brain/mind into objective
and subjective categories, and calls the objective category the old
brain/mind
and the subjective category the new brain/mind, then the old brain/mind
would
be composed of the noumenal objectivity of the backbrain/subconscious
and the
phenomenal objectivity of the right midbrain/conscious, while the new
brain/mind would be composed of the phenomenal subjectivity of the left
midbrain/ unconscious and the noumenal subjectivity of the forebrain/
superconscious.
11. If we allow for an objective/subjective
distinction between the old brain/mind and the new brain/mind, then it
follows
that the one category is broadly masculine and the other category
broadly
feminine, since the masculine is objective and the feminine subjective. It would also follow that the category of the
old brain/mind was aligned with fire and water, sun and moon, blood and
saliva,
soul and intellect, while the category of the new brain/mind was
aligned with
soil and light, Earth and Saturn, flesh and air, will and spirit.
12. Indeed, we could argue for a distinction
between the power/pride and knowledge/wisdom of the old brain/mind, and
the
beauty/pleasure and truth/joy of the new brain/mind, while not
forgetting the
antivirtues, or vices, of weakness/humiliation and ignorance/folly with
regard
to the first category, and of ugliness/pain and illusion/sorrow with
regard to
the second category - the quantitative attributes correlating with the
physiological subdivisions of old/new brain, and the qualitative
attributes
correlating with the psychological subdivisions of old/new mind.

1. To contrast
the
Space of the forebrain, both elemental and molecular, with the Heaven
of the
superconscious, both molecular and elemental.
2. Thus to contrast the Outer Space of the
elemental forebrain and the Inner Space of the molecular forebrain with
the
Outer Heaven of the molecular superconscious and the Inner Heaven of
the
elemental superconscious.
3. To contrast
the Time
of the backbrain, both elemental and molecular, with the Hell of the
subconscious, both molecular and elemental.
4. Thus to contrast the Outer Time of the
elemental backbrain and the Inner Time of the molecular backbrain with
the
Outer Hell of the molecular subconscious and the Inner Hell of the
elemental
subconscious.
5. To contrast
the
Volume of the right midbrain, both elemental and molecular, with the
Purgatory
of the conscious, both molecular and elemental.
6. Thus to contrast the Outer Volume of the
elemental right-midbrain and the Inner Volume of the molecular
right-midbrain
with the Outer Purgatory of the molecular conscious and the Inner
Purgatory of
the elemental conscious.
7. To contrast
the Mass
of the left midbrain, both elemental and molecular, with the World of
the
unconscious, both molecular and elemental.
8. Thus to contrast the Outer Mass of the
elemental left-midbrain and the Inner Mass of the molecular
left-midbrain with
the Outer World of the molecular unconscious and the Inner World of the
elemental unconscious.
9. Broadly, then, Space, Time, Volume, and
Mass
are correlative with the objectivity, both noumenal and phenomenal, of
the
old/new brain (in their fourfold physiological subdivisions), while
Heaven,
Hell, Purgatory, and the World are correlative with the subjectivity,
both
phenomenal and noumenal, of the old/new mind (in their fourfold
psychological
subdivisions).
10. Such a division, as between objectivity and
subjectivity, would place science and economics on the one side, that
of the
physiologically objective, and politics and religion on the other side,
that of
the psychologically subjective, confirming an alpha/omega antithesis
between
the noumenal positions, and an alpha-in-the-omega/omega-in-the-alpha
antithesis
between the phenomenal positions.
11. Thus one could speak of the Outer Space (of
idealist science) and the Inner Heaven (of transcendentalist religion)
as
constituting an alpha/omega antithesis within noumenal culture, with
the Inner
Space (of corporate economics) and the Outer Heaven (of totalitarian
politics)
constituting an alpha-in-the-omega/omega-in-the-alpha antithesis within
phenomenal culture.
12. Likewise, one could speak of the Outer Time
(of naturalist science) and the Inner Hell (of fundamentalist religion)
as
constituting an alpha/omega antithesis within noumenal barbarism, with
the
Inner Time (of communist economics) and the Outer Hell (of
authoritarian
politics) constituting an alpha-in-the-omega/omega-in-the-alpha
antithesis within
phenomenal barbarism.
13. Similarly, one could speak of the Outer Volume
(of materialist science) and the Inner Purgatory (of nonconformist
religion) as
constituting an alpha/omega antithesis within noumenal civilization,
with the
Inner Volume (of capitalist economics) and the Outer Purgatory (of
parliamentary politics) constituting an
alpha-in-the-omega/omega-in-the-alpha
antithesis within phenomenal civilization.
14. Finally, one could speak of the Outer Mass (of
realist science) and the Inner World (of humanist religion) as
constituting an
alpha/omega antithesis within noumenal nature, with the Inner Mass (of
socialist economics) and the Outer World (of republican politics)
constituting
an alpha-in-the-omega/ omega-in-the-alpha antithesis within phenomenal
nature.

5. The Holy Will of the World is as far
removed from
the Holy Spirit of Heaven ... as beauty from truth, or pleasure from
joy, which
is to say, as the humanist 'bovaryization' of religion from divine
religion, as
germane to 'Kingdom Come'.
6. The love of joy in the goodness of truth
...
is what characterizes transcendentalist religion from the love of
pleasure in
the goodness of beauty within humanist religion, the 'love' of wisdom
in the
'goodness' of knowledge within nonconformist religion, and the 'love'
of pride
in the 'goodness' of strength within fundamentalist religion.
7. The 'hatred' of sorrow in the 'badness'
of
illusion ... is what characterizes idealist science from the 'hatred'
of pain
in the 'badness' of ugliness within realist science, the hatred of
folly in the
badness of ignorance within materialist science, and the hatred of
humiliation
in the badness of weakness within naturalist science.
8. The 'hatred' of inner sorrow in the
'badness'
of inner illusion ... is what characterizes corporate economics from
the
'hatred' of inner pain in the 'badness' of inner ugliness within
socialist
economics, the hatred of inner folly in the badness of inner ignorance
within
capitalist economics, and the hatred of inner humiliation in the
badness of
inner weakness within communist economics.
9. The love of outer joy in the goodness of
outer truth ... is what characterizes totalitarian politics from the
love of
outer pleasure in the goodness of outer beauty within republican
politics, the
'love' of outer wisdom in the 'goodness' of outer knowledge within
parliamentary politics, and the 'love' of outer pride in the 'goodness'
of
outer strength within authoritarian politics.
10. Knowledge and strength are only 'good' in
relation to or, rather, contrast with ignorance and weakness, while
ugliness
and illusion are only 'bad' in contrast with beauty and truth.
11. The 'love' of wisdom easily becomes, within
hard-line nonconformism, a hatred of pleasure in the 'evil' of beauty,
while
the 'love' of pride easily becomes, within hard-line fundamentalism, a
hatred

12. Conversely, the 'hatred' of sorrow easily
becomes, within hard-line idealism, a love of humiliation in the
'goodness' of
weakness, while the 'hatred' of pain easily becomes, within hard-line
realism,
a love of folly in the 'goodness' of ignorance.
13. What applies to the noumenal contexts of
religion and science applies no less to the phenomenal contexts of
economics
and politics, where we also have 'inner' and 'outer' distinctions
respectively.

opposed to the extreme left-wing status of the thinker with regard to
poets and
philosophers - the former comparatively barbarous in Hell and the

comparatively cultural in Heaven.
15. The right-wing status of the writer as opposed
to the left-wing status of the speaker with regard to novelists and
dramatists
- the former comparatively civilized in Purgatory and the latter
comparatively
natural in the World.
16. If genuine poets and philosophers are
respectively barbarous in Hell and cultural in Heaven, then those who
are
barbarous in Time and cultural in Space are antipoets and
antiphilosophers - a
'pseudo'-noumenon closer to science (outer) and economics (inner) than,
as with
the genuine articles, to politics (outer) and religion (inner).
17. If genuine novelists and dramatists are
respectively civilized in Purgatory and natural in the World, then
those who
are civilized in Volume and natural in Mass are antinovelists and
antidramatists - a 'pseudo'-phenomenon
closer to science (outer) and economics (inner) than, as with the
genuine
articles, to politics (outer) and religion (inner).
18. It of course follows that where poets and
philosophers relate, when genuine, to noumenal politics and religion,
their
fictional and dramatic counterparts relate to phenomenal politics and
religion.

1. The decadence
of
abstract art, the art style par
excellence of the twentieth
century, inexorably led to the 'cosmic paganism' of light art ... as
phenomenal
materialism was eclipsed by noumenal naturalism, and even by idealism.
2. One could argue that whereas noumenal
naturalism is, by and large, encased in transparent bulbs and/or tubes,
noumenal idealism is free of casing in the 'cosmic' purism of laser
beams.
3. It could also be argued that whereas
phenomenal realism is encased in picture frames, phenomenal
materialism, its
representational and even non-representational antithesis, is largely
free from
casing in the painterly purism of canvas.
4. There is about picture frames a
sculptural connotation
which harmonizes with the phenomenal realism of figurative sculpture.
5. Like painting, sculpture also became
abstract, or non-figurative, prior to being eclipsed by the noumenal
naturalism
and even idealism of light sculpture - the former encased in tubes and
the
latter free-standing in either laser or holographic configurations.
6. Since phenomenal materialism inevitably
tends
back, if it doesn't stagnate in the pseudo-noumenal mode ... of
non-representational painting, towards noumenal naturalism, it should
follow
that phenomenal realism will tend towards noumenal idealism, as in the
context
of holography, most of which, to-date, is comparatively figurative.
7. It seems paradoxical to speak of
humanism,
nonconformism, fundamentalism, and transcendentalism in connection with
art,
and yet art can be subjective as well as objective, gravitating from
phenomenal
nonconformism to noumenal fundamentalism on the one hand, and from
phenomenal
humanism to noumenal transcendentalism on the other hand.
8. One could speak of a progression or,
rather,
positive regression from representational knowledge, in phenomenal
nonconformism, to non-representational power, in noumenal
fundamentalism, and
of a progression from figurative beauty, in phenomenal humanism, to
non-figurative truth, in noumenal transcendentalism.
9. Just as light replaces paint in the
supersession of materialism by naturalism and of realism by idealism,
so air
replaces hair in the supersession of nonconformism by fundamentalism
and of
humanism by transcendentalism. For with
the former contexts, which are usually scientific or economic, it is
the
objectivity of the medium used in the execution of the art work which
is
paramount, whereas with the latter contexts, which are usually
political or
religious, it is the subjectivity of the means used in the execution of
the art
work which is paramount.
10. Hence for the subjective artist it is not
paint or light which is the governing factor, but his use of brush
and/or
airbrush, which is an extension of his self, whether phenomenally, as
in
humanism and (to a lesser extent) nonconformism, or noumenally, as in
fundamentalism and (to a greater extent) transcendentalism.
11. Nonconformism and fundamentalism, being less
genuinely subjective than their political and religious counterparts,
tend to
emphasize, in their respective ways, content at the expense of form,
whereas
humanism and transcendentalism emphasize, in their
respective
ways, form at the expense of content - the former pair on
representational/non-representational
terms, and the latter pair on figurative/non-figurative terms.
12. This same dichotomy between form and content
also applies to objective art, with realism and idealism emphasizing,
on
account of their less genuinely objective status, form at the expense
of
content, but materialism and naturalism emphasizing content at the
expense of
form, albeit, in each case, 'form' and 'content' are rather more
negative than
positive, thereby correlating with the 'antiforms' and 'anticontents'
of
'anti-art' - the scientific and/or economic basis of which panders, in
particles, to aggressive individualism.

1. The content
of any
given discipline is always of an objective character, whereas the form
is subjective
- the subjectivity of wavicle essences as opposed to the objectivity of
particle appearances.
2. Whether the content and form of any
given
discipline be primarily or secondarily objective or
subjective
... will depend on the nature of the discipline itself - science and
economics
generally tending towards the objective, but politics and religion
tending, by
contrast, towards the subjective.
3. More specifically,
naturalist/materialist
science and communist/capitalist economics will be primarily objective,
whereas
fundamentalist/nonconformist religion and authoritarian/parliamentary
politics
will be secondarily objective.
4. Likewise, republican/totalitarian
politics
and humanist/ transcendentalist religion will be primarily subjective,
whereas realist/idealist
science and socialist/corporate economics will be secondarily
subjective.
5. Form follows from content in the
objective
disciplines, whereas content follows from form in the subjective ones.
6. The more objective content ... the less
subjective
form, and, conversely, the more subjective form ... the less objective
content,
as content and form tend ever farther apart towards the noumenal
extremes of
fundamentalism and transcendentalism with regard to religion, and of
naturalism
and idealism with regard to science, not to mention of authoritarianism
and
totalitarianism with regard to politics, and of corporatism and
communism with
regard to economics.
7. Content and form can never be literally
equal, i.e. the same, else one would have all content or all form,
which is
impossible. Rather is it that the more
perfect, or subjective, the form ... the less imperfect, or objective,
the
content and, conversely, the more imperfect, or objective, the content
... the
less perfect, or subjective, the form.
8. The notion of 'imperfect form' is as
illogical as would be the notion of 'perfect content'.
Form can no more desert perfection without
ceasing to be form ... than content can escape imperfection and remain
content.
9. 'Pure form' and 'pure content' are
simply
abstractions of the mind which have no basis in fact, whether
phenomenal or
noumenal, whatsoever!
10. Hence even the Devil has some form and God
some content, albeit the form of the one is so dominated by content as
to be
least perfect, whereas the content of the other is so subsumed into
form as to
be least imperfect.
11. With man and woman,
by contrast, form and content are more balanced between subjective and
objective, wavicle and particle, albeit with a contrary bias in each
case.
12. Thus there is generally more content than form
in man, who is correspondingly more imperfect, while there is more form
than
content in woman, who is correspondingly more perfect.
13. The content in man
is
generally drawn towards the more perfect form of woman, who offers him
a
compensatory release from greater imperfection.
14. The Devil has no
such
desire with regard to God, since his conceptual imperfection is too
great ...
to make him capable of aspiring towards perfect form.
15. One should distinguish, subjectively, between
the (in relation to man) more perfect form of woman and the (in
relation to
woman) most perfect form of God, whilst also distinguishing, likewise,
between
the (in relation to woman) less perfect form of man and the (in
relation to
God) least perfect form of the Devil.
16. One should distinguish, objectively, between
the (in relation to woman) more imperfect content of man and the (in
relation
to man) most imperfect content of the Devil, whilst also
distinguishing,
likewise, between the (in relation to man) less imperfect content of
woman and
the (in relation to the Devil) least imperfect content of God.

1. Classical music (in the strict sense of
that
term) signified form over content, and thus adhered, within a broadly
religious
framework, to cultural norms. Romantic
music, by contrast, signified content over form, and thus adhered,
within a
broadly secular framework, to increasingly barbarous norms which, in
the twentieth
century, were to culminate in the atonal cacophony which is the
hallmark of
modernism.
2. If Classical music aspired towards God,
then
Romantic music plunged humanity back towards the Devil and the
cacophonous Hell
of content-dominated modernism.
3. Most twentieth-century music, including
Jazz
and Rock, was content-dominated to a degree which made it virtually
dependent
upon drums and/or a variety of percussion instruments, and thus
synonymous with
cultural barbarism.
4. Folk music, the traditional ally and
source
of inspiration behind much of the better Classical music, is much less
prone to
the domination of content than, say, the musical avant-garde or Modern
Jazz,
and for this reason it remains in the
vanguard,
paradoxically, of cultural progress.
5. It is difficult to imagine a more
cultural
type of music than that which utilizes, in the best Irish traditions,
uilleann
pipes - not even Classical music, which, despite its adherence to form
at the
expense of content, remains suspiciously 'civilized', and hence middle
class.
6. Urban civilization is at such an
artificial
remove from nature, these days, that it is inconceivable how a person
of
Catholic sensibility, for whom nature is the bedrock of phenomenal
subjectivity, could possibly be at home there ... in what is, to all
intents
and purposes, an environmental manifestation of the Protestant heresy.
7. If there is blasphemy in the modern age,
then
it must surely take the forms of the industrial and traffic pollution
that we
witness about us in the smoke-choked streets of our major cities -
living proof
of contemporary man's lack of spiritual self-respect!
8. Crime, as generally understood and
portrayed
in the Western world, is to some extent a crude reflection of the legal
crime
upon which contemporary civilization is built, a proletarian mirror, as
it
were, to the bourgeois face of commercial exploitation which worships
power and
wealth.
9. So long as people can be commercially
exploited by morally unscrupulous predators, crime will continue to
exist as a
mirror image, so to speak, of the legal criminality which makes a God
out of
power and a false Heaven out of wealth.
10. One cannot solve 'proletarian' crime while the
self-righteous commercialism of 'bourgeois' criminality remains legal. So long as we continue to live in an immoral
society, a society in the grip of commercial exploitation, 'populist'
crime
will persist in the face of all attempts by the Establishment to
eradicate
it. In order to tackle crime properly,
one should first of all put an end to the bad examples 'from above'
which, in
temples of Mammon, directly or indirectly perpetuate it.
Social measures alone are hardly adequate!
11. Just as, from a divine standpoint, nature/the
world is a context of 'sin', the phenomenal subjectivity which hinders
the
development, through culture, of noumenal subjectivity in God, so, from
a
diabolic viewpoint, civilization/purgatory is a context of 'crime', the
phenomenal objectivity of which militates against the development,
through
barbarism, of noumenal objectivity in the Devil. Yet
both
'sin' and 'crime', being phenomenal,
are subject to constraint and correction, the former through the grace
of God,
and the latter through the punishment of the Devil.
For rest assured that where God is very
firmly behind the salvation of sinners to grace, the Devil is just as
firmly
behind the damnation of criminals to punishment, since 'crime and
punishment'
are no less complementary, in their respectively objective fashions,
than 'sin
and grace' complement each other in their respectively subjective
fashions -
the former category in each pair phenomenal and the latter category
noumenal.
12. Hence while sinners, who are of nature, can be
saved to the heaven of grace by God, criminals, in their civilization,
can only
be damned to the hell of punishment by the Devil. The former in culture, the
latter in barbarism.
13. One should speak, echoing the above
contentions, rather more of the criminality of Protestants with regard
to
civilization than of their 'sinfulness' with regard to nature, which,
by
contrast, is the traditional failing of Catholics.
Protestants may not be as guilty of sin as
their Catholic counterparts, but they are far guiltier of crime, the
crime of
commercial materialism and its exploitation, and even desecration, of
nature
and the world.

phenomenal, are guilty, from a noumenal standpoint, of 'sin' and

noumenal,

6. Just as Being is only possible in
perfect
cultural form, so Doing is only possible in imperfect barbarous
content, Taking
only possible in imperfect civilized content, and Giving
only possible in perfect natural form.
7. Giving is no more 'phenomenal Being'
than
beauty is 'phenomenal truth'. Giving is

1. The metaphysical association of Being
with
the photon enables us to distinguish the Primal Being, both elemental

molecular, of particle photons from the Supreme Being, both molecular

association of Doing with the proton enables us to distinguish the
Primal
Doing, both elemental and molecular, of particle protons from the

4. The
metaphysical
association of Giving with the electron enables us to distinguish the
Primal
Giving, both elemental and molecular, of particle electrons from the
Supreme Giving,
both molecular and elemental, of wavicle electrons.
5. One should distinguish, across the
cultural
spectrum of the Be-er, seeing from reading, and hallucinating from
meditating,
as between idealism and corporatism on the one hand, and
totalitarianism and
transcendentalism on the other hand.
6. Likewise one should distinguish, across
the
barbarous spectrum of the Doer, hearing from thinking, and dreaming
from
acting, as between naturalism and communism on the one hand, and
authoritarianism and fundamentalism on the other hand.
7. Similarly, one should distinguish,
across the
civilized spectrum of the Taker, tasting from writing, and daydreaming
from
praying, as between materialism and capitalism on the one hand, and
parliamentarianism and nonconformism on the other hand.
8. Finally, one should distinguish, across
the
natural spectrum of the Giver, touching from talking, and imagining
from
dancing, as between realism and socialism on the one hand, and
republicanism
and humanism on the other hand.
9. Seeing, or Sensual Being, corresponds to
the
least perfect cultural form and reading, or Intellectual Being, to the
less
(relative to least) perfect cultural form, while hallucinating, or
Visionary
or, better, Visual Being, corresponds to the more (relative to most)
perfect
cultural form and meditating, or Spiritual Being, to the most perfect
cultural
form.
10. Hearing, or Sensual Doing, corresponds to the
most imperfect barbarous content and thinking, or Intellectual Doing,
to the
more (relative to most) imperfect barbarous content, while dreaming, or
Visual
Doing, corresponds to the less (relative to least) imperfect barbarous
content
and acting, or Spiritual Doing, to the least imperfect barbarous
content.
11. Tasting, or Sensual Taking, corresponds to the
most imperfect civilized content and writing, or Intellectual Taking,
to the
more (relative to most) imperfect civilized content, while daydreaming,
or
Visual Taking, corresponds to the less (relative to least) imperfect
civilized
content and praying, or Spiritual Taking, to the least imperfect
civilized
content.
12. Touching, or Sensual Giving, corresponds to
the least perfect natural form and talking, or Intellectual Giving, to
the less
(relative to least) perfect natural form, whilst imagining, or Visual
Giving,
corresponds to the more (relative to most) perfect natural form, and
dancing,
or Spiritual Giving, to the most perfect natural form.
13. Hence the distinction
between seeing and reading corresponds to Primal Being, the former
elemental
and the latter molecular, while the distinction between hallucinating
and
meditating corresponds to Supreme Being, the former molecular and the
latter
elemental.
14. Hence the distinction between hearing and
thinking corresponds to Primal Doing, the former elemental and the

15. Hence the distinction between tasting and
writing corresponds to Primal Taking, the former elemental and the

Supreme Taking, the former molecular and the latter elemental.
16. Hence the distinction between touching and
talking corresponds to Primal Giving, the former elemental and the

of the eyes to the elemental Supreme Being of the lungs via the

Primal Being of the forebrain and the molecular Supreme Being of the

ears
to the elemental Supreme Doing of the heart via the molecular Primal

the backbrain and the molecular Supreme Doing of the subconscious.
3. From the elemental Primal Taking of the

4. From the elemental Primal Giving of the

5. There is not one self but two selves -
the
phenomenal self and the noumenal self; nor one not-self but two
not-selves -
the phenomenal not-self and the noumenal not-self.
6. Thus every individual is a combination
of two
selves or, more correctly, of two selves and two not-selves.
7. A self is not elemental, still less
molecular, but the product of a cohesive fusion of the various elements
and
molecules which combine together into atomic structures.
Such is also the case for a not-self.
8. A self has two sides or aspects to it,
viz.
an objective, or particle, side, and a subjective, or wavicle, side -
the
former content and the latter form. Such
is also the case for a not-self.
9. Both the phenomenal and noumenal selves
are
more subjective than objective, with a preponderating wavicle form,
while both
the phenomenal and noumenal not-selves, by contrast, are more objective
than
subjective, with a preponderating particle content.
10. Thus the not-selves are contexts in which
content preponderates, in particle objectivity, over form, whereas the
selves
are contexts, by contrast, in which form preponderates, in wavicle
subjectivity, over content.
11. Since selves/not-selves are divisible into
objective and subjective sides respectively, we may term the objective
side the
will and, by contrast, the subjective side the soul, being careful to
distinguish each of these from the elements, or faculties, which go to
make up
a self/not-self.
12. It should follow that the not-selves, both
noumenal and phenomenal, will be contexts in which, given their
objective bias,
will predominates over soul (or, more correctly, not-will over
not-soul), in
contrast to the predominance of soul over will in the more subjective
contexts
of both the phenomenal and noumenal selves.
13. Hence it should also follow that a
preponderating not-self will tend to rule over and oppress the self,
and hence
the soul, from the vantage-point of a predominating will.
Such an oppressive situation is characteristic
of traditional gender relations, whereby the more objective male has
tended to
oppress the more subjective female, who has, of necessity, been obliged
to
accommodate her soul to the masculine will.
14. Yet if, in contexts of the not-self, the will
is always dominant over the soul (both phenomenal and noumenal), then
in
contexts of the self, by contrast, it is the soul which remains the
dominant
or, at any rate, preponderant factor ... as testimony to the subjective
nature
of the self in both its phenomenal and noumenal manifestations.
15. Speaking metaphorically, one could say that
science and economics, being objective, are contexts in which will
predominates
over soul (though this will only apply, as a rule, to their more
objective
modes), whereas politics and religion are contexts in which, by
contrast, soul
predominates over will (though this will only apply, as a rule, to
their more
subjective modes).
16. The will of any given self/not-self, being
objective, enables that self/not-self to select, from the available
range of
elemental and/or molecular options, that option which it most wishes to
develop
at any given time, be it sensual, intellectual, visual, or spiritual,
and the
emotional response to the selected option is then experienced by the
soul, or
subjective aspect, of whichever self/not-self happens to be in the
ascendant.
17. Hence the will provides any given
self/not-self with a door into its elemental and/or molecular
compartments,
while the experience of one or more of these compartments is registered
by the
soul, which is the emotionally subjective aspect of that self/not-self.
18. Salvation of the soul is not so much from the
will, which in any case is ranged, when preponderant, against the soul
(and
thus against any prospect of salvation), but from the phenomenal
manifestation
of the soul to its noumenal manifestation ... as one passes, through
spirit,
from phenomenal self to noumenal self.
19. Salvation of the soul, and hence of the self
of which it is but a subjective aspect, is therefore from the natural
plane of
molecular Supreme Giving to the cultural plane of elemental Supreme
Being, as
from beauty to truth. It can also be, in
a more circumscribed sense, from the visual culture of molecular
Supreme Being
to the spiritual culture of elemental Supreme Being, thereby
progressing within
the context of noumenal subjectivity rather than, as elsewhere, from
the
phenomenal to the noumenal.
20. The salvation of
the
phenomenal soul from molecular Supreme Giving, in imagination, to
elemental
Supreme Giving, in dance, is relative to the World, and therefore falls
short
of divine salvation ... to the extent
that the World falls short of Heaven. It
is simply to make a heaven of the World by choosing to focus upon its
most
subjective point, the point of the most perfect natural form. Such a salvation, while relatively laudable,
is necessarily an end-in-itself rather than a means to an ultimate end
- the
end, namely, of God the Holy Spirit of Heaven ... in the elemental
Supreme
Being of the most perfect cultural form.
21. When the noumenal self selects, from the range
of cultural options, Spiritual Being through the agency of its divine
will,
then the soul is brought to the peak of its emotional response in the
joy that
is the corollary of the noumenal self's being at one with the most
perfect
cultural form in the airy exercise of transcendental meditation.
22. As soon as the noumenal self embraces
spiritual culture through the exercise of its divine will, the soul is
joyously
saved to the elemental Supreme Being of the most perfect cultural form,
and
passes over into transpersonal unity with the Divine, becoming,
thereby, One
with the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
23. The noumenal self
is
not literally, and never can be, the Holy Spirit of Heaven, but is only
one
with it through the practice of transcendental meditation.
The noumenal self remains an atomic unit and
not an element of cultural Being.
24. But the experience
of
elemental Supreme Being by the divine soul of the noumenal self ensures
that,
providing it continues to exercise its will in the maintenance of
spiritual
relations, the Holy Spirit of Heaven becomes its salvation and
guarantee of
Eternal Life.

1. Football is effectively the last bastion
of
slavery. Despite the astronomical sums for
which they are bought and sold, players are no better than commodities
... to
be sold on the market to the highest bidder.
2. The shame of
transfer slavery, as one might call the ever-increasing fees with which
the
better players change hands, is the most damning indictment of
professional
football, which reduces people to commodities whose value is determined
by the
marketplace.
3. The
difference
between a commodity and a human being ... is that where the former, as
a thing,
has a price tag, the latter, being sentient, is priceless.
4. The crime of
capitalism is to reduce everything to the status of a commodity, not
excepting
certain categories of persons. Even the
so-called Holy Bible can be bought and sold as a commodity!
5. Capitalism does not spare anything,
least of
all the Arts, which it systematically subverts in the interests of
commerce,
reducing their various productions to a commodity which can be bought
and sold
on the marketplace, like any tube of toothpaste.
6. The subversion of the Arts does not
begin
with a price tag; on the contrary, that is merely the culmination of a
process
which began much earlier ... with the subversion of the artist himself
through
the twin tyranny of commercial and financial pressures, the
consequences of which
are to render his creations more amenable to commercial presentation,
and thus
effect their undoing as 'art'.
7. By the time the so-called 'work of art'
reaches the shops as a commercial product, there is relatively little
about it
which would suggest that it deserves any better fate than that which
the
capitalist bourgeoisie have reserved for it.
Far from being the 'handmaiden of religion', as genuine art
should be,
it is now very firmly the whore of economics, with an equally spurious
content.
8. None of the Arts escapes the curse of
capitalist subversion, but literature, on account of its reliance on
the
printed word, suffers an especially cruel fate at the hands of those
for whom
it is a product to be bought and sold in the marketplace.
9. By reducing
literature to a price tag in the marketplace, the commercial
bourgeoisie have
put it on a par with pizzas, cigarettes, toothpaste, alcohol, jeans,
and other
such products which, despite the criminal rhetoric of commercial
advertising,
one would hesitate to associate with the Arts!
10. Nowadays a novel or a symphony is worth as
little or as much as a pizza, an umbrella, or a pair of jeans! It has no special status, such as was
formerly reserved for creations deemed to have some spiritual
significance,
some connection, in relation to culture, with 'eternal values'. For capitalist criminality has seen to it
that nothing escapes its commercial grasp, not even God, Who, usually
in the
guise of Jesus Christ, must likewise be 'brought low', the better to
fit into
the materialistic scheme of things.
11. Only when the capitalist lion lies down with
the socialist lamb and commercial crime accordingly ceases to prevail
... will
there be any prospect of an economic Heaven in the corporatism of
'Kingdom
Come', the graceful transmutation of socialist sin (from mass ownership
to
Centre trusteeship), following the democratic establishment of
religious
sovereignty under Messianic auspices.
12. Since crime is not rooted in the People but
stems
from the capitalist exploitation of the People by the bourgeoisie,
punishment
is largely directed towards protecting the former from the excesses of
the
latter, since the Devil's role in society is less that of an enemy of
the World
than one of defending the World, and hence the People, from overworldly
encroachments, much as the sun defends the earth from the moon.
13. Hence so long as there is crime, or commercial
exploitation of the World, there will be punishment, since the Devil
cannot
abide the prospect of man getting away with the desecration, for
example, of
'Mother Nature', the People, woman, etc.
Punishment is directed against crime, not against sin, which is
of the
World. Though occasionally the Devil
will punish God if it looks as though the latter is becoming too
influential
with the World at his expense! Such a
paradoxical punishment usually takes the form of a barbarous subversion
of
culture, since the Devil can do no more than to clip or, rather, singe
God's
wings whenever he feels unduly threatened.
14. The Devil's justification for punishing
criminals is premised upon the existence and perpetuation of crime, not
upon
the existence of either sin or grace, and therefore his reign can only
last so
long as there is crime, and hence a lunar/purgatorial Overworld, in
existence
for him to punish.
15. Should the capitalist criminals have cause to
'turn over a new leaf' and renounce their criminality in favour of
worldly
sinfulness, so that the bourgeois lion effectively lies down with the
proletarian
lamb, then the Devil's justification for existing would be called into
question, and the necessity of punishment likewise.
16. Only when there is little or no capitalist
crime and much socialist sin, will society be ready for the possibility
of
corporate (not to mention totalitarian and idealist) grace ... in the
transcendentalism of 'Kingdom Come'.
17. With sin saved to
grace, the Devil would be isolated and in no position to punish anyone,
least
of all the non-existence of criminals, and so his own standing, as
defender of
the World, would be under divine review.
18. Probably, at the last, the Devil will also be
absorbed into God, since what fell, as noumenal objectivity, from alpha
God in
the beginning ... must surely return, in noumenal subjectivity, to
omega God in
the end, as divine justice replaces diabolic justice in the heavenly
Kingdom,
and punishment is accordingly transmuted towards grace.
19. There is no
punishment in God, only grace, and therefore there is no way in which
God can
punish the Devil. Punishment will cease
to be relevant in 'Kingdom Come', and therefore even the Devil will be
encouraged to 'turn over a new leaf' and accept the salvation of grace.
CYCLE
FIFTY-ONE
1. The soul of the heart should not be
confounded with or mistaken for the soul of the self (whether
phenomenal or
noumenal). The former is germane to a
specific organ and theological realm (Hell), whereas the latter cannot
be
defined in relation to a specific organ, but is diffused throughout the
self of
which, in wavicle subjectivity, it is the experiential side.
2. Hence the
Holy Soul
of Hell, which I customarily identify with the Father, has nothing
whatsoever
to do with the soulful, or emotional, aspect of the self, but is
germane to the
heart.
3. Likewise the Holy Will of the World,
which I
customarily identify with the Mother, has nothing whatsoever to do with
the
willing, or selective, aspect of the self, but is germane to the womb
and thus,
by implication, to sex.
4. In fact, by comparison with the will of
the
womb, the will of the self is a sort of overwill or superwill which is
diffused
throughout the self of which, in particle objectivity, it is the
willing
aspect.
5. The soul of the self is likewise a sort
of
oversoul or supersoul in relation to the soul of the heart.
6. Speaking in general terms, it can be
said
that the noumenal self ranges from the eyes on the far right, as it
were, of
the cultural spectrum to the lungs on the far left via the forebrain on
the
right and the superconscious on the left, as from idealism and
corporatism to
totalitarianism and transcendentalism.
7. Likewise it can be said that the
phenomenal
self ranges from the flesh on the far right, as it were, of the natural
spectrum to the womb, or reproductive organs, on the far left via the
left
midbrain on the right and the unconscious on the left, as from realism
and
socialism to republicanism and humanism.
8. Again, speaking in general terms, it can
be
said that the noumenal not-self ranges from the ears on the far right,
as it
were, of the barbarous spectrum to the heart on the far left via the
backbrain
on the right and the subconscious on the left, as from naturalism and
communism
to authoritarianism and fundamentalism.
9. Likewise it can be said that the
phenomenal
not-self ranges from the tongue on the far right, as it were, of the
civilized
spectrum to the brain (corpus callosum) on the far left via the right
midbrain
on the right and the conscious mind on the left, as from materialism
and
capitalism to parliamentarianism and nonconformism.
10. When we consider the self in relation to
religion, then the lungs are the elemental focus of the noumenal self,
while
the womb (or reproductive organs generally) is the elemental focus of
the
phenomenal self.
11. Conversely, when we consider the not-self in
relation to religion, then the heart is the elemental focus of the
noumenal
not-self, while the brain (corpus callosum) is the elemental focus of
the
phenomenal not-self.
12. Likewise when we consider the self in relation
to politics, then the superconscious is the molecular focus of the
noumenal
self, while the unconscious is the molecular focus of the phenomenal
self.
13. Conversely, when we consider the not-self in
relation to politics, then the subconscious is the molecular focus of
the
noumenal not-self, while the conscious is the molecular focus of the
phenomenal
self.
14. Similarly, when we consider the self in
relation to economics, then the forebrain is the molecular focus of the
noumenal self, while the left midbrain is the molecular focus of the
phenomenal
self.
15. Conversely, when we consider the not-self in
relation to economics, then the backbrain is the molecular focus of the
noumenal not-self, while the right midbrain is the molecular focus of
the phenomenal
not-self.
16. Finally, when we consider the self in relation
to science, then the eyes are the elemental focus of the noumenal self,
while
the flesh is the elemental focus of the phenomenal self.
17. Conversely, when we consider the not-self in
relation
to science, then the ears are the elemental focus of the noumenal
not-self,
while the tongue is the elemental focus of the phenomenal not-self.
18. Every self and not-self, whether phenomenal or
noumenal, has both a will and a soul germane to itself - the objective
and
subjective aspects, respectively, of its atomic integrity.
19. I believe that the distinction I customarily
make between the brain in relation to religion (specifically
nonconformism) and
the physiological subdivisions thereof in relation to economics is,
despite the
apparent contradiction, fundamentally correct, though the term 'brain'
is, I
fear, too general to do adequate justice to the religious correlation
in
question. Yet there, it seems to me,
lies the dilemma, since it is rather that organ, or part of the brain,
linking
the two main cerebral hemispheres, viz. the old brain with the new
brain (as
defined by Koestler), which, in its liberal impartiality or
even-handedness, so
to speak, best serves to illustrate the paradox of intellectual
transcendence -
a necessarily bogus mode of transcendence from a spiritual standpoint. That organ is termed the corpus callosum, and
it straddles the brain, and its subdivisions thereof, viz. backbrain,
right
midbrain, left midbrain, and forebrain, pretty much as the ego
straddles the
mind and its subdivisions thereof, viz. subconscious, conscious,
unconscious,
and superconscious.
CYCLE
FIFTY-TWO
1. Just as I have distinguished between
Primal
Being and Supreme Being, so we can distinguish, on both elemental and
molecular
terms, the primal noumenal self from the supreme noumenal self,
associating the
former with the eyes in what we may call the elemental primal noumenal
self and
with the forebrain in the molecular primal noumenal self, whilst
associating
the latter with the superconscious in what may be called the molecular
supreme
noumenal self and with the lungs in the elemental supreme noumenal self.
2. Thus we may distinguish the scientific
essence, in idealism, of the elemental primal noumenal self from the
economic
essence, in corporatism, of the molecular primal noumenal self, while
likewise
distinguishing the political essence, in totalitarianism, of the
molecular
supreme noumenal self from the religious essence, in transcendentalism,
of the
elemental supreme noumenal self.
3. It is my firm contention that the
elemental
and molecular primal noumenal selves, having a passive essence that
corresponds
to sensual and to intellectual culture respectively, are contexts in
which
noumenal will preponderates over noumenal soul, whereas the molecular
and
elemental supreme noumenal selves, having a passive essence that
corresponds to
visual and to spiritual culture respectively, are contexts in which
noumenal
soul preponderates over noumenal will.
4. Thus it can be argued that whereas
noumenal
will preponderates over noumenal soul in the primal noumenal selves,
noumenal
soul preponderates over noumenal will in the supreme noumenal selves,
which are
correspondingly more subjective, and hence of a wavicle bias.
5. Just as I have distinguished between
Primal
Doing and Supreme Doing, so we can distinguish, on both elemental and
molecular
terms, the primal noumenal not-self from the supreme noumenal not-self,
associating the former with the ears in what we may call the elemental
primal
noumenal not-self and with the backbrain in the molecular primal
noumenal
not-self, whilst associating the latter with the subconscious in what
may be
called the molecular supreme noumenal not-self and with the heart in
the
elemental supreme noumenal not-self.
6. Thus we can distinguish the scientific
appearance, in naturalism, of the elemental primal noumenal not-self
from the
economic appearance, in communism, of the molecular primal noumenal
not-self,
while likewise distinguishing the political appearance, in
authoritarianism, of
the molecular supreme noumenal not-self from the religious appearance,
in
fundamentalism, of the elemental supreme noumenal not-self.
7. It is my firm contention that the
elemental
and molecular primal noumenal not-selves, having an active appearance
that
corresponds to sensual and to intellectual barbarism respectively, are
contexts
in which noumenal not-will preponderates over noumenal not-soul,
whereas the
molecular and elemental supreme noumenal not-selves, having an active
appearance that corresponds to visual and to spiritual barbarism
respectively,
are contexts in which noumenal not-soul preponderates over noumenal
not-will.
8. Thus it can be argued that whereas
noumenal not-will
preponderates over noumenal not-soul in the primal noumenal not-selves,
noumenal not-soul preponderates over noumenal not-will in the supreme
noumenal
not-selves, which (in relation to this spectrum) are correspondingly
more
subjective, and hence of a wavicle bias.
9. Just as I have distinguished between
Primal
Taking and Supreme Taking, so we can distinguish, on both elemental and
molecular terms, the primal phenomenal not-self from the supreme
phenomenal
not-self, associating the former with the tongue in what we may call
the
elemental primal phenomenal not-self and with the right midbrain in the
molecular primal phenomenal not-self, whilst associating the latter
with the
conscious in what may be called the molecular supreme phenomenal
not-self and
with the corpus callosum in the elemental supreme phenomenal not-self.
10. Thus we may distinguish the scientific
essence, in materialism, of the elemental primal phenomenal not-self
from the
economic essence, in capitalism, of the molecular primal phenomenal
not-self,
while likewise distinguishing the political essence, in
parliamentarianism, of
the molecular supreme phenomenal not-self from the religious essence,
in
nonconformism, of the elemental supreme phenomenal not-self.
11. It is my firm contention that the elemental
and molecular primal phenomenal not-selves, having a reactive essence
that
corresponds to sensual and to intellectual civilization respectively,
are
contexts in which phenomenal not-will preponderates over phenomenal
not-soul,
whereas the molecular and elemental supreme phenomenal not-selves,
having a
reactive essence that corresponds to visual and to spiritual
civilization
respectively, are contexts in which phenomenal not-soul preponderates
over
phenomenal not-will.
12. Thus it can be argued that whereas phenomenal
not-will preponderates over phenomenal not-soul in the primal
phenomenal
not-selves, phenomenal not-soul preponderates over phenomenal not-will
in the
supreme phenomenal not-selves, which (in relation to this spectrum) are
correspondingly more subjective, and hence of a wavicle bias.
13. Just as I have distinguished between Primal
Giving and Supreme Giving, so we can distinguish, on both elemental and
molecular terms, the primal phenomenal self from the supreme phenomenal
self,
associating the former with the flesh in what we may call the elemental
primal
phenomenal self and with the left midbrain in the molecular primal
phenomenal
self, whilst associating the latter with the unconscious in what may be
called
the molecular supreme phenomenal self and with the womb in the
elemental
supreme phenomenal self.
14. Thus we may distinguish the scientific
appearance, in realism, of the elemental primal phenomenal self from
the
economic appearance, in socialism, of the molecular primal phenomenal
self,
while likewise distinguishing the political appearance, in
republicanism, of
the molecular supreme phenomenal self from the religious appearance, in
humanism, of the elemental supreme phenomenal self.
15. It is my firm contention that the elemental
and molecular primal phenomenal selves, having an attractive appearance
that
corresponds to sensual and to intellectual nature respectively, are
contexts in
which phenomenal will preponderates over phenomenal soul, whereas the
molecular
and elemental supreme phenomenal selves, having an attractive
appearance that
corresponds to visual and to spiritual nature respectively, are
contexts in
which phenomenal soul preponderates over phenomenal will.
16. Thus it can be argued that whereas phenomenal
will preponderates over phenomenal soul in the primal phenomenal
selves,
phenomenal soul preponderates over phenomenal will in the supreme
phenomenal
selves, which are correspondingly more subjective, and hence of a
wavicle bias.
17. Culture is centred, in
conceptual essence, because culture is inner form, whether objective or
subjective, whereas nature, its phenomenal counterpart, is rooted in
perceptual
appearance, because nature is outer form, whether objective or
subjective.
18. Barbarism is rooted in
perceptual appearance, because barbarism is outer content, whether
objective or
subjective, whereas civilization, its phenomenal counterpart, is
centred in
conceptual essence, because civilization is inner content, whether
objective or
subjective.
19. Hence the form of culture is always conceptual
... from the least perfect cultural form of Sensual Being (seeing) to
the most
perfect cultural form of Spiritual Being (meditating) via the less
(relative to
least) perfect cultural form of Intellectual Being (reading) and the
more
(relative to most) perfect cultural form of Visual Being
(hallucinating). The essence of inner form
is culture, while
the essence of culture is Being.
20. Conversely, the form of nature is always
perceptual ... from the least perfect natural form of Sensual Giving
(touching)
to the most perfect natural form of Spiritual Giving (dancing) via the
less
(relative to least) perfect natural form of Intellectual Giving
(talking) and
the more (relative to most) perfect natural form of Visual Giving
(imagining). The appearance of outer
form is nature, while the appearance of nature is Giving.
21. By contrast, the content of civilization is
always conceptual ... from the most imperfect civilized content of
Sensual
Taking (tasting) to the least imperfect civilized content of Spiritual
Taking
(praying) via the more (relative to most) imperfect civilized content
of
Intellectual Taking (writing) and the less (relative to least)
imperfect
civilized content of Visual Taking (daydreaming). The
essence
of inner content is civilization,
while the essence of civilization is Taking.
22. Conversely, the content of barbarism is always
perceptual ... from the most imperfect barbarous content of Sensual
Doing (hearing)
to the least imperfect barbarous content of Spiritual Doing (acting)
via the
more (relative to most) imperfect barbarous content of Intellectual
Doing
(thinking) and the less (relative to least) imperfect barbarous content
of
Visual Doing (dreaming). The appearance
of outer content is barbarism, while the appearance of barbarism is Doing.
CYCLE
FIFTY-THREE
1. Appearance is synonymous
with perception and essence synonymous with conception, so we may
confidently
maintain that the perceptual is always apparent and the conceptual
always
essential, since the one is outer and the other inner. However, as we have seen, both form and
content can be perceptual or conceptual, outer or inner, depending on
their
physical/metaphysical status.
2. There is nothing better, or more divine,
than
conceptual form and nothing worse, or more diabolic, than perceptual
content -
the difference, in short, between culture and barbarism, or Being and
Doing.
3. The conceptual content of civilization
and
the perceptual form of nature constitute phenomenal alternatives which,
as man
and woman, tend to react against and attract each other in terms of
Taking and
Giving.
4. To progress
from the
perceptual form of nature to the conceptual form of culture, as from
beauty to
truth, is to evolve from Giving to Being, which is the salvation of the
World.
5. To regress
from the
conceptual content of civilization to the perceptual content of
barbarism, as
from knowledge to power, is to devolve from Taking to Doing, which is
the damnation
of the Overworld.
6. The conceptual form of culture is never
more
divine than in the Spiritual Being of the elemental supreme noumenal
self whose
will and soul are One, through meditation, with the Holy Spirit of
Heaven.
7. The perceptual content of barbarism is
never
more diabolic than in the Sensual Doing of
the
elemental primal noumenal not-self whose not-will and not-soul are One,
through
hearing, with the Clear Fire of Time.
8. Content, whether perceptual or
conceptual, is
always quantitative, whereas form, whether perceptual or conceptual, is
always
qualitative.
9. Hence both
knowledge
and power are quantitative, as befitting civilization and barbarism,
whereas
both beauty and truth are qualitative, as befitting nature and culture.
10. The quantitative,
which is objective, can be thought of in terms of particles, whereas
the
qualitative, which is subjective, should be thought of in terms of
wavicles.
11. It is on account of its qualitative nature
that sin can be saved by the qualitative culture of grace, passing from
the
realm of outer form to the realm of inner form.
12. Short of converting to qualitative nature, the
quantitative civilization of crime can only be damned by the
quantitative
barbarism of punishment, passing from the realm of inner content to the
realm
of outer content.
13. Damnation to barbarous punishment can only be
avoided by civilized criminals if they convert to natural sin and thus
abandon
their criminality. For
sinners, who are one, in their phenomenal self, with perceptual form,
can be
saved to the grace of conceptual form, whereas criminals, who are one,
in their
phenomenal not-self, with conceptual content, can only be damned to the
punishment of perceptual content.
14. A world of realist and socialist and
republican
and humanist sin ... is more pleasing to God than one dominated by
materialist
and capitalist and parliamentary and nonconformist crime.
God loves sinners because they can be saved
by and to the grace of His idealism and corporatism and totalitarianism
and,
above all, transcendentalism.
15. God's love of sinners is the divine
counterpart to the Devil's hatred of criminals, since criminals, in
their
materialism and capitalism and parliamentarianism and nonconformism,
besmirch
the world that he rules over, and he will damn them to the punishment
of his
fundamentalism and authoritarianism and communism and, above all,
naturalism,
if they persist in their criminal folly.
16. By contrast to the Devil's hatred of
criminals, God's love of sinners is premised upon a comprehension of
the fact
that, in their indulgence of perceptual form, they are wise after a
(phenomenal) fashion and need only accept conceptual form, through Him,
to
become supremely wise in the divine wisdom of supreme noumenal self,
rising from
pleasure through beauty to joy through truth.
CYCLE
FIFTY-FOUR
1. The worldly
wise
know that there is more pleasure in Giving than in Taking, and continue
to give
accordingly.
2. Likewise, the heavenly wise know that
there
is more joy in Being than in Doing, and continue to be
accordingly.
3. It is easier to cultivate culture in a
cult
than by oneself ... in a solitary context that, in its individuality,
owes more
to civilization than to culture.
4. The semantic connection between cult and
culture is no less significant than that between sect and section.
5. One might even go so far as to contend
that
no true culture can be cultivated independently of a cult, which exists
expressly for the purpose of enabling the individuals who form it to
merge
themselves into the communal identity towards which it strives.
6. Unlike a
crowd,
which is a motley collection of individuals, a true community
transcends the
individuals of whom it is composed in the transpersonal unity of the
cult.
7. The cult
member has
no individuality in the way a member of the crowd has; for he has left
his
individuality behind, in pursuance of the transpersonal identity to
which his
cult aspires.
8. The crowd is
always
vulnerable to chaos and violence because the individuals of whom it is
composed
retain their individuality, both physically and mentally, which, under
pressure, can easily burst out of the collective framework in reaction
against
other individuals.
9. A commune differs from a crowd to the
extent
that the individuals who compose it share a common purpose in living
together
as equally and harmoniously as possible.
10. However, unlike a cult, a commune can be
purely secular, and hence socialistic, in its basic structure, with no
transpersonal aspirations beyond the day-to-day management of community
relations in the interests of the physical wellbeing of all its members.
11. In this regard, a commune stands somewhere in
between a crowd and a cult, with potential to devolve or evolve in
either
direction, so to speak.
12. On another level, a
club also stands somewhere in between a crowd and a cult, though its
members
tend to be less communal and correspondingly more individualistic, if
on
phenomenal rather than, like the crowd, noumenal terms.
13. Unlike a commune,
members of a club tend to develop or assert their individuality within
the
confines of the purpose for which the club exists.
14. One might argue that a club is essentially a
bourgeois commune in which the individuals of whom it is composed hone
their
individuality to the greater purpose for which the club exists, while
remaining
free, as individuals, to come and go as they please.
15. The biggest (and worst) clubs tend to allow
their members maximum freedom with regard to the pursuit of individual
goals,
thereby approximating to the crowd.
16. By contrast, the biggest (and best) communes
tend to adopt a cult-like status in pursuance of some cultural or
transcendent
goal.
17. There is nothing particularly evil or vicious,
in this context, about the word 'communism', which is semantically
close to
commune, community, communion, and other such words expressing the
desire of
individuals to lose themselves in a greater whole for purposes of
social and/or
moral self-improvement.
18. There are of course individuals who wish to
lose themselves in the crowd, but that is usually for other than moral
purposes; indeed, it enables them to express their individuality under
cover of
the collective, as in the case of football hooligans and vandals.
19. Such individuals may live a part of their
lives in the collective, but they have nothing whatsoever to do with
community
or cult. They reflect the diabolical
tendency of certain wild beasts to hunt in packs.
20. Indeed, whereas the club individual is largely
a lunar/purgatorial phenomenon, the crowd individual is fundamentally a
solar/diabolical noumenon, a creature who moves more easily and feels
greater
security in the noumenal objectivity of the crowd than in the
phenomenal
objectivity of his specific or chosen individuality.
21. Generally, the commune expresses the secular
collectivity of the World, which is largely socialistic, whereas the
cult
expresses the religious collectivity of those whose
'Kingdom' is not of this world but of the heavenly Beyond.
In the one case, the individual is able to
lose himself within the phenomenal subjectivity of the group, which
functions
on a predominantly mundane basis, whereas in the other case, that of
the cult,
the individual is swallowed up, more completely, within the noumenal
subjectivity of the cultural aspiration, which stands to the commune as
transcendentalism to humanism or, in economic terms, as corporatism to
socialism.
22. Official religions were once cults that
achieved recognition by the State and were, in large part, taken over
by the
State, as in the cases of Christianity and Islam.
23. A cult that is taken over by the State,
becoming its official religion, is fated to splinter into sects which,
backed
by state power, are likely to war on one another in the interests of
their
respective dogmas.
24. For, unlike a cult, a sect reflects the
objectivity of the State with which, completely or in part, it is
aligned, and
will utilize every means, including violence, to serve its dogmatic
interests
at the expense of weaker sects.
25. The history of Christianity affords us a
poignant example of inter-denominational conflict brought about by the
utilization of state power to back its sectarian divisions and advance
a
variety of conflicting dogmas.
26. The revolution in religion will only come when
a cult effectively takes over the State and absorbs it into itself,
thereby
establishing the basis for peace through the gradual 'withering' of
state
responsibility proportionate to the advancement of religious culture.
27. The cult of Social Transcendentalism, to which
I subscribe, has no intentions of allowing itself to be taken-over by
the
State, but desires nothing less than to take over the State,
democratically and
peacefully, in the interests of the Centre, which is my definition of
the
context of mass religious sovereignty that I equate with 'Kingdom Come'.
28.
Thus it is not the will of the self-proclaimed
Messiah of Social Transcendentalism to allow his cult to be hijacked by
the
State, becoming thereafter its official religion, with all the
attendant moral
disadvantages that such a fate entails, including the possibility of
sectarian
schism. The 'Kingdom of Heaven' will
only come universally to pass, in this age of mass sovereignty, when
Social
Transcendentalism is in a position to democratically take over the
State and
thus transmute it towards the Centre, ending, once and for all, the
Devil's
grip on religion and thereby freeing it for culture in the cultivation
of
Visual and/or Spiritual Being.
CYCLE
FIFTY-FIVE
1. Just as there
are
two forms of Primal Being, viz. sensual (or optical) and intellectual,
so there
are two forms of illusion, which correspond to the elemental and
molecular
subdivisions of the culture in question.
2. Just as there are two forms of Supreme
Being,
viz. visual and spiritual, so there are two forms of truth, which
correspond to
the molecular and elemental subdivisions of the culture in question.
3. Thus whereas Primal
Being is a culture of illusion, Supreme Being is a culture of truth,
whether
with regard to the elemental or molecular subdivisions in each case.
4. We can therefore distinguish the
objective
status of illusion from the subjective status of truth - the former
affiliated
to the light (eyes) and the latter to the spirit (air).
5. Hence whereas seeing and reading are
manifestations of cultural illusion, by dint of their association with
the
elemental and molecular modes of Primal Being, hallucinating (tripping)
and
meditating are manifestations of cultural truth, by dint of their
association
with the molecular and elemental modes of Supreme Being.
6. Just as there are two
concepts of Primal Doing, viz. sensual (or aural) and intellectual, so
there
are two concepts of weakness, which correspond to the elemental and
molecular
subdivisions of the barbarism in question.
7. Just as there are two concepts of
Supreme
Doing, viz. visual and spiritual, so there are two concepts of strength
(power), which correspond to the molecular and elemental subdivisions
of the
barbarism in question.
8. Thus whereas Primal
Doing is a barbarism of weakness, Supreme Doing is a barbarism of
strength, whether
with regard to the elemental or molecular subdivisions in each case.
9. We can therefore distinguish the
objective
status of weakness from the subjective status of strength - the former
affiliated to the fire (ears) and the latter to the soul (blood).
10. Hence whereas hearing and thinking are
manifestations of barbarous weakness, by dint of their association with
the
elemental and molecular modes of Primal Doing, dreaming and acting
(ritual) are
manifestations of barbarous strength, by dint of their association with
the
molecular and elemental modes of Supreme Doing.
11. Just as there are two concepts of Primal
Taking, viz. sensual and intellectual, so there are two concepts of
ignorance,
which correspond to the elemental and molecular subdivisions of the
civilization in question.
12. Just as there are two concepts of Supreme
Taking, viz. visual and spiritual, so there are two concepts of
knowledge,
which correspond to the molecular and elemental subdivisions of the
civilization in question.
13. Thus whereas Primal
Taking is a civilization of ignorance, Supreme Taking is a civilization
of
knowledge, whether with regard to the elemental or molecular modes in
each
case.
14. We can therefore distinguish the objective
status of ignorance from the subjective status of knowledge - the
former
affiliated to the water (tongue/ink) and the latter to the mind
(intellect).
15. Hence whereas tasting and writing are
manifestations of civilized ignorance, by dint of their association
with the
elemental and molecular modes of Primal Taking, daydreaming and praying
are
manifestations of civilized knowledge, by dint of their association
with the
molecular and elemental modes of Supreme Taking.
16. Just as there are two forms of Primal Giving,
viz. sensual and intellectual, so there are two forms of ugliness,
which
correspond to the elemental and molecular subdivisions of the nature in
question.
17. Just as there are two forms of Supreme Giving,
viz. visual and spiritual, so there are two forms of beauty, which
correspond
to the molecular and elemental subdivisions of the nature in question.
18. Thus whereas Primal
Giving is a nature of ugliness, Supreme Giving is a nature of beauty,
whether
with regard to the elemental or molecular modes in each case.
19. We can therefore distinguish the objective
status of ugliness from the subjective status of beauty - the former
affiliated
to the earth (skin/flesh) and the latter to the will (womb/sex).
20. Hence whereas touching and talking are
manifestations of natural ugliness, by dint of their association with
the
elemental and molecular modes of Primal Giving, imagining and dancing
are
manifestations of natural beauty, by dint of their association with the
molecular and elemental modes of Supreme Giving.

1. It is debatable whether any art form
that
panders to the senses, like art to the eyes and music to the ears, can
really
be morally justified. Rather would it
seem that these art forms 'fly in the face' of moral considerations.
2. Whether the reader (of books) is morally
worse than the viewer (of paintings) or the thinker (of free thoughts)
morally
worse than the listener (to music) ... is a debatable, not to say
doubtful,
point!
3. Conversely, anything that panders to the
omega as opposed to the alpha, to truth, say, as opposed to illusion,
has the
grace of moral conviction behind it.
4. Since there
are two
approaches to truth, viz. a visual and a spiritual, corresponding to
the
molecular and elemental subdivisions of Supreme Being, it follows that
whatever
conduces towards either approach is morally justified, and hence
deserving of
cultural encouragement.
5. Hence the use of hallucinogenic
stimulants to
cultivate Visual Being within the framework
of culture
is no less morally justifiable than recourse to transcendental
meditation for
purposes of cultivating Spiritual Being there.
6. Either way, the supreme noumenal self
will be
selecting and experiencing Supreme Being, and thus partaking of
positive
divinity on the basis of either more perfect cultural form (Visual Being) or, ultimately, most perfect cultural form
(Spiritual
Being).
7. By contrast, both viewing and reading
would
constitute modes of Primal Being which are relative to negative
divinity on the
basis of either least perfect cultural form (Sensual Being) or less
perfect
cultural form (Intellectual Being), as selected and experienced by the
primal
noumenal self.
8. Doubtless there is a place, up to a
point,
for illusion as well as truth, but we should never forget that truth,
and hence
hallucinating and meditating, is what brings one to Supreme Being, and
thus
frees one from scientific and economic illusions.
9. Because molecular Supreme Being is
affiliated, through the superconscious psyche, with totalitarian
politics, it
stands to reason that the visual approach to truth will be more
symptomatic of
a political phase or bias in cultural society or the individual ...
than of a
religious one.
10. Hence we could distinguish the Social
Theocratic status of molecular Supreme Being from the Social
Transcendentalist
status of elemental Supreme Being, since the latter, having an
affiliation,
through the lungs, with transcendentalist religion, is of the spirit
and thus
symptomatic of the most perfect approach to Supreme Being ... such that
should
prevail in the properly religious phase and context of cultural society.
11. Of course, I have long distinguished between
Social Theocracy and Social Transcendentalism in such fashion,
conceiving of
the former as the political front for the establishment and development
of the
latter, which is the true aim and goal of cultural striving.
12. Only with a political front, necessarily
totalitarian in character, can a cult, or culture, democratically challenge the State and advance its cause at the
State's
expense. For if the cult does not take
over the State, transmuting it in keeping with its divine essence, then
that
cult risks being taken-over by the State and, if not destroyed, at the
very least
corrupted as a state religion.
13. Should Social Theocracy succeed,
democratically and peacefully, in taking over the republican State,
then, duly
transmuted, the Centre would arise as the resurrectional framework in
which
Social Transcendentalism can flourish, and with it the most perfect
cultural
form of the Holy Spirit of Heaven in the elemental Supreme Being of
'Kingdom
Come'.
CYCLE
FIFTY-SEVEN
1. God as Supreme Being ... is the
culmination
of evolution, not the inception, or beginning, of the Universe.
2. The Universe
began not
in Supreme Being but in Primal Being, the elemental Primal Being, more
correctly, of the Clear Light of Space (the Void).
3. It wouldn't even be true to say that the
Universe evolves from Primal Being to Supreme Being, as though there
was a
straightforward evolutionary progression from A to Z, or alpha to omega. Rather would it be nearer the mark to contend
that it devolves from Primal Being in Space to Primal Giving in Mass,
with
evolution being rather more a question of life evolving from Supreme
Giving in
the World to Supreme Being in the heavenly Beyond.
4. Likewise one could argue, after a
fashion,
that there is devolution from Primal Doing in Time to Primal Taking in
Volume,
with evolution from Supreme Taking in Purgatory to Supreme Doing in
Hell.
5. Hence rather than life or the Universe
reflecting a single pattern of devolution and evolution, we would have
two
modes of devolution and evolution, viz. a subjective mode and an
objective
mode.
6. Subjective devolution would be from the
negative noumenal subjectivity of Primal Being to the negative
phenomenal
subjectivity of Primal Giving, as from photon particles to electron
particles,
whereas subjective evolution would be from the positive phenomenal
subjectivity
of Supreme Giving to the positive noumenal subjectivity of Supreme
Being, as
from electron wavicles to photon wavicles.
7. Objective devolution would be from the
negative noumenal objectivity of Primal Doing to the negative
phenomenal
objectivity of Primal Taking, as from proton particles to neutron
particles,
whereas objective evolution would be from the positive phenomenal
objectivity
of Supreme Taking to the positive noumenal objectivity of Supreme
Doing, as
from neutron wavicles to proton wavicles.
8. One can no more devolve from the
subjective
plane to the objective one ... than evolve from objectivity to
subjectivity. The objective and the
subjective remain opposite realms, subject to separate patterns of
devolution
and evolution.
9. To devolve
from
negative conceptual form to negative perceptual form, as from Space or
Mass, is
to devolve regressively, whereas to evolve from positive perceptual
form to
positive conceptual form, as from the World to Heaven, is to evolve
progressively.
10. To devolve from
negative perceptual content to negative conceptual content, as from
Time to
Volume, is to devolve progressively, whereas to evolve from positive
conceptual
content to positive perceptual content, as from Purgatory to Hell, is
to evolve
regressively.
11. Regressive devolution is a fall and
progressive devolution a rise.
Conversely, regressive evolution is a damnation and progressive
evolution a salvation.
12. Hence whereas regressive devolution is to fall
into sin, the sinfulness of negative phenomenal subjectivity,
progressive evolution
is towards salvation by grace, the grace of positive noumenal
subjectivity.
13. Hence whereas progressive devolution is to
rise into crime, the criminality of negative phenomenal objectivity,
regressive
evolution is towards damnation by punishment, the punishment of
positive
noumenal objectivity.
14. Repentant sinners, who are of the mundane
World, are blessed by divine grace.
15. Arraigned criminals, who are of the
purgatorial Overworld, are cursed by
diabolical
punishment.
16. God saves (admits) sinners to Heaven, while
the Devil damns (condemns) criminals to Hell.
17. To fall,
regressively, from culture to nature, and to rise, progressively, from
barbarism to civilization.
18. Conversely, to be saved, progressively, from
the World to Heaven, and to be damned, regressively, from Purgatory to
Hell.
19. The fallen Last
shall
be the saved First, while the risen First shall be the damned Last.
20. Those who are of Primal Being shall return,
via the World, to Supreme Being, while those who are of Primal Doing
shall
return, via Purgatory, to Supreme Doing.
From dust to dust, and from ashes to ashes.
CYCLE
FIFTY-EIGHT
1. To contrast
the fall
of primal woman, in the Antimother, from Primal God ... with the rise
of primal
man, in the Antison, from Primal Devil.
2. Conversely, to contrast the damnation of
supreme man, in the Son, by Supreme Devil ... with the salvation of
supreme
woman, in the Mother, by Supreme God.
3. Hence to contrast the fall of primal
nature,
in negative perceptual form, from primal culture ... with the rise of
primal
civilization, in negative conceptual content, from primal barbarism.
4. Hence to contrast the damnation of
supreme
civilization, in positive perceptual content, by supreme barbarism ...
with the
salvation of supreme nature, in positive conceptual form, by supreme
culture.
5. It is easier to cultivate conceptual
form in
truth if one has been accustomed to perceptual form in beauty, than if
one has
been accustomed, by contrast, to either conceptual content in knowledge
or
perceptual content in strength.
6. A man must be reborn from conceptual
content
to perceptual form ... if he is to stand any chance of subsequently
being saved
by and to conceptual form. To some
extent, this process is germane to Catholicism, which conduces towards
a sinful
self-identification on the part of both men and women alike.
7. By contrast, the Protestant has little
or no
awareness of sin, because he is accustomed to an objective
self-identification
in conceptual content, which precludes any prospect of a Christian
rebirth. He is more genuinely male, and
hence someone who is steeped in the criminality of the Risen, if not
the
Damned.
8. The criminal is no more aware of sin ...
than
the sinner of criminality. Neither is he
aware of God, although he effectively fears the Devil, and hence the
possibility of diabolical punishment.
9. By contrast, the sinner will have little
or
no fear of the Devil, because he lives in hopeful expectation of God
and the
possibility, in consequence, of being saved by divine grace.
10. To say that all men are sinners would be as
untrue as to claim that all men were criminals.
The fact is that only Catholics are sinners, and hence
confessors of
sin, while their Protestant counterparts are effectively criminals, and
hence
perpetrators of crime, which is to say, of civilized as opposed to
natural
values.
11. It would be as illogical to damn sin as to
save crime. Sin can only be saved by
grace, while crime is damned by punishment.
'Damned sinners' and 'saved criminals' are merely figments of
the
imagination!
12. Whether they commit crime/sin on a regular or
an irregular basis, one thing is certain: sooner or later all criminals
will be
damned and all sinners saved, for there is no escaping the absolutism
of either
punishment or grace!
13. Formerly, people thought of Hell as a realm
where sinners were punished. Really, it
is a realm where criminals are punished!
For the Devil only recognizes crime, and
Hell is his
way of punishing those who perpetrate it - one necessarily apparent and
therefore perceptual (public).
14. Likewise God only recognizes sin, and Heaven is His way of bestowing grace -
one
necessarily essential and therefore conceptual (private).
15. Whether one is fated to be saved to Heaven or
damned to Hell ... will depend, to a large extent, upon one's being
recognizable as either a sinner or a criminal, that is to say, upon
one's being
either Catholic or Protestant, humanist or nonconformist.
16. When the Last Judgement finally comes to pass,
there will be no sitting on the fence.
For the Devil will have as much right to damn criminals ... as
God to
save sinners - the former damning from the Overworld to Hell, and the
latter
saving from the World to Heaven, as knowledge and beauty, corresponding
to
phenomenal evil and good, are respectively rent asunder by power and
truth,
their noumenal counterparts.
17. Before the Last
Judgement,
all criminals will have the option of converting from crime to sin,
from the
purgatorial Overworld to the mundane World, and thus of 'lying down
with the
lamb' in a sort of feminine rebirth.
Those who take this option can subsequently expect to be saved. Those, on the other hand, who scorn it in
loyalty to their criminal traditions ... will be hunted down, like wild
beasts,
by the Devil's henchmen and condemned to everlasting punishment!
18. My hope and conviction is that the great
majority of people will be eligible, as sinners, for salvation, and
thus be
blessed with the air of Heaven rather than cursed by the blood of Hell,
leaving
the religious alpha to fundamentalist fools as they soar Heavenwards,
on wings
of joy, towards the religious omega ... of transcendentalist wisdom -
the
supreme redemption, through grace, of Supreme Mass.
CYCLE
FIFTY-NINE
1. To contrast the 'criminal' essence of
free
verse with the 'sinful' appearance of bound verse - the former
objectively
civilized and the latter subjectively natural.
2. Likewise to contrast the 'punishing'
appearance of what may be called superfree verse with the 'graceful'
essence of
... superbound verse - the former objectively barbarous and the latter
subjectively cultural.
3. Really, bound verse, which rhymes within
certain metric conventions, is figurative, while free verse, its
non-rhyming
antithesis, is representational - the former feminine and the latter
masculine.
4. Similarly, superbound verse, which
rhymes
within a non-readerly framework conducive to pure contemplation, is
non-figurative, while superfree verse, its non-rhyming antithesis, is
non-representational - the former divine and the latter diabolic.
5. The distinction between figurative and
non-figurative is of phenomenal relativity vis-à-vis noumenal
absolutism within
a subjective framework.
6. The distinction between representational
and
non-representational is of phenomenal relativity vis-à-vis noumenal
absolutism
within an objective framework.
7. The most
perfect
poetry can only be non-figurative, since its approximation to Being
through
conceptual form transcends the mundane concerns, through perceptual
form, of
figurative poetry ... pretty much as culture transcends nature.
8. Non-figurative poetry is the poetry of
idealism,
whereas figurative poetry is the poetry of realism.
9. Conversely, non-representational poetry
is
the poetry of naturalism, whereas representational poetry is the poetry
of
materialism.
10. Broadly, poetry is the 'literature' of
science, whereas philosophy is the 'literature' of religion, fiction
the
'literature' of economics, and drama the 'literature' of politics.
11. Hence to distinguish the scientific status of
poetry from the economic status of fiction, as one would distinguish
the clear
elemental from the unclear molecular.
12. Hence to distinguish the
political status of drama from the religious status of philosophy, as
one would
distinguish the unholy molecular from the holy elemental.
13. To distinguish,
within poetry, the naturalism of non-representation from the
materialism of
representation, while likewise distinguishing the realism of figuration
from
the idealism of non-figuration.
14. To distinguish,
within fiction, the communism of allegories from the capitalism of
novels,
while likewise distinguishing the socialism of short stories from the
corporatism of prose poems.
15. To distinguish,
within drama, the authoritarianism of tragedy from the
parliamentarianism of
comedy, while likewise distinguishing the republicanism of social drama
from
the totalitarianism of poetic drama.
16. To distinguish,
within philosophy, the fundamentalism of monologues from the
nonconformism of
essays, while likewise distinguishing the humanism of dialogues from
the
transcendentalism of aphorisms.
17. A barbarous society, rooted in science, would
be one dominated by poetry, specifically in the guise of
non-representation,
the naturalist per se of poetry, and would suffer (if at all) only
'bovaryized'
modes of fiction, drama, and philosophy.
18. A civilized society, rooted in economics,
would be one dominated by fiction, specifically in the guise of novels,
the
capitalist per se of fiction, and would suffer (if at all) only
'bovaryized'
modes of philosophy, poetry, and drama.
19. A natural society, centred in politics, would
be one dedicated to drama, specifically in the guise of social drama,
the
socialist per se of drama, and would suffer (if at all) only
'bovaryized' modes
of poetry, philosophy, and fiction.
20. A cultural society, centred in religion, would
be one dedicated to philosophy, specifically in the guise of aphorisms,
the
transcendentalist per se of philosophy, and would suffer (if at all)
only
'bovaryized' modes of drama, fiction, and poetry.
21. The task of the
supreme literary artist, as I conceive of him, is to help bring about a
cultural society in which philosophy comes to divine fruition in the
most
perfect cultural form. Only then will
philosophy be saved to the grace of aphorisms, becoming a true
reflection of
Supreme Being.

1. The World,
necessarily mundane, is a context where sin is the rule and grace the
exception, whereas Heaven, by contrast, is a context in which grace is
the rule
and sin the exception.
2. The
Overworld,
necessarily purgatorial, is a context in which crime is the rule and
punishment
the exception, whereas Hell, by contrast, is a context in which
punishment is

3. Did the Catholic clergy not adhere to a
rule
of strict celibacy, they would be unable and unqualified to offer
grace, no
matter how provisionally, to sinners, but would become 'bogged down' in
carnal
sin.
4. The Protestant clergy do not need to
maintain
a rule of strict celibacy for the simple reason that their role is less
one of
absolving sinners from sin ... than of warning criminals as to the
likely
consequences of their crime.
5. To
distinguish the
scientific status, in noumenal objectivity, of Jazz/Blues music from
the
economic status, in phenomenal objectivity, of Romantic/Classical music.
6. Likewise to distinguish the political
status,
in phenomenal subjectivity, of Rock/Pop music from the religious
status, in
noumenal subjectivity, of Country/Folk music.
7. It could be argued that,
just as the distinction between Romantic and Classical music is one of
content
and form, or content-over-form vis-à-vis form-over-content, so the
distinction
between Jazz and Blues, Rock and Pop, and Country and Folk ... is
likewise one
of content-over-form vis-à-vis form-over-content, thus suggesting the
likelihood of an objective/subjective division between the respective
musical
pairings.
8. To distinguish, within the framework of
culture, the idealism of Trad Blues from the corporatism of Trad
Classical with
regard to Primal Being, and the totalitarianism of Trad Pop from the
transcendentalism of Trad Folk with regard to Supreme Being.
9. To distinguish, within the framework of
barbarism, the naturalism of Trad Jazz from the communism of Trad
Romantic with
regard to Primal Doing, and the authoritarianism of Trad Rock from the
fundamentalism of Trad Country with regard to Supreme Doing.
10. To distinguish, within the framework of
civilization, the materialism of Modern Jazz from the capitalism of
Modern
Romantic with regard to Primal Taking, and the parliamentarianism of
Modern
Rock from the nonconformism of Modern Country with regard to Supreme
Taking.
11. To distinguish, within the framework of
nature, the realism of Modern Blues from the socialism of Modern
Classical with
regard to Primal Giving, and the republicanism of Modern Pop from the
humanism
of Modern Folk with regard to Supreme Giving.
12. Broadly, it can be seen that the 'modern'
contexts, which are generally electric, correspond to phenomenal
options, while
the 'trad' contexts, which are generally acoustic, correspond to
noumenal
options.

damnation
of Rock from modern to trad, as from molecular Supreme Taking to
molecular

5. Modern Blues (electric) is the musical
paradigm of the fall of man or, more accurately, woman from negative
outer
culture to negative outer nature.
6. The other way
of
falling, that of Classical from trad to modern, is from negative inner

to negative inner nature.
7. Conversely, Modern Jazz is the musical
paradigm of the rise of man from negative outer barbarism to negative
outer
civilization.
8. The other way
of
rising, that of Romantic from trad to modern, is from negative inner

9. Trad Pop (song-based) is the musical

10. The other way of

11. Trad Rock (Rock 'n' Roll) is the musical
paradigm of the damnation of man from positive outer civilization to
positive
outer barbarism.
12. The other way of
being damned, that of Country from modern to trad, is from positive
inner
civilization to positive inner barbarism.
13. Ultimately, the only types of music that can
be saved ... are Modern Pop and Modern Folk - the former to Trad Pop
and the latter
to Trad Folk, which are the molecular and elemental musical
manifestations,
respectively, of Supreme Being.
14. One might liken the totalitarianism of Trad
Pop to Social Theocracy, and the transcendentalism of Trad Folk to
Social
Transcendentalism - the former effectively political and the latter
religious.
15. Doubtless a cultural correlation can be
inferred between Trad Pop and Visual Being (hallucinating) on the one
hand, and
between Trad Folk and Spiritual Being (meditating) on the other hand.

8. Just as grace properly begins with
Supreme
Being, so the proper beginning of sin is with Supreme Giving. For grace adheres rather
more to the subjectivity of Heaven, both outer and inner, than to the
(by
comparison) objectivity of culture, while sin likewise adheres rather
more to
the subjectivity of the World, both outer and inner, than to the (by
comparison) objectivity of nature.
9. Conversely, just as punishment properly
ends
with Primal Doing, so the proper ending of
crime is
with Primal Taking. For
punishment
adheres
rather more to the objectivity of barbarism, both outer and
inner, than to the (by comparison) subjectivity of Hell, while crime
likewise
adheres rather more to the objectivity of civilization, both outer and
inner,
than to the (by comparison) subjectivity of Purgatory.
10. Heterosexuality is a blend of male and female
elements in what is effectively a meeting of crime and sin.
11. There is more crime in homosexuality than in
heterosexuality, and more sin in lesbianism than in heterosexuality,
the reason
being that whereas heterosexuality is both male and female,
homosexuality is
exclusively male and lesbianism exclusively female - the former broadly
appertaining to Volume and the latter to Mass.
12. Masturbation is a sort of absolute
homosexuality and voyeurism, by contrast, a sort of absolute lesbianism.
13. When masturbation and voyeurism blend, as in
the use of pornographic erotica, one can speak of noumenal
heterosexuality, the
abstract equivalent of conventional heterosexuality, which is
phenomenal.
14. Noumenal
heterosexuality is a blend of grace and punishment, rather than of
crime and
sin.
15. There is no crime in masturbation - only
punishment.
16. Conversely, there is no sin in voyeurism -
only grace.
17. To regard masturbation as sinful is as
illogical
as it would be to regard voyeurism as criminal.
Sin appertains to the mundane realm of nature/the world, and
crime to
the lunar realm of civilization/purgatory.
18. Strictly speaking, there are two kinds of
lesbianism, viz. an objective kind involving actual bodies and a
subjective
kind involving recourse to plastic inflatables and/or vibrators.
19. The objective kind of lesbianism stems from
the old-brain side of the left midbrain, and the subjective kind from
the
new-mind side of the unconscious.
20. Strictly speaking, there are two kinds of
homosexuality, viz. an objective kind involving actual bodies and a
subjective
kind involving recourse to plastic inflatables and/or vibrators.
21. The objective kind of homosexuality stems from
the old-brain side of the right midbrain, and the subjective kind from
the
new-mind side of the conscious.
22. Strictly speaking, there are two kinds of
phenomenal heterosexuality, viz. an objective kind involving actual
bodies and
a subjective kind involving recourse to plastic inflatables and/or
vibrators.
23. The objective kind of phenomenal
heterosexuality stems from the old-brain side of the corpus callosum
(linking
right to left midbrains), and the subjective kind from the new-mind
side of the
ego.
24. If we turn, now, from the phenomenal realms of
lesbianism/heterosexuality/homosexuality to the noumenal realms of
voyeurism/heterosexuality/masturbation, we shall find that the latter
are
likewise divisible between an objective and a subjective alternative.
25. Strictly speaking, there are two kinds of
voyeurism, viz. an objective kind involving actual bodies and a
subjective kind
involving (passive) recourse to pornographic erotica.
26. The objective kind of voyeurism stems from the
old-brain side of the forebrain, and the subjective kind from the
new-mind side
of the superconscious.
27. Strictly speaking, there are two kinds of
masturbation, viz. an objective kind involving manual manipulation and
a
subjective kind involving recourse to autonomous devices.
28. The objective kind of masturbation stems from
the old-brain side of the backbrain, and the subjective kind from the
new-mind
side of the subconscious.
29. Strictly speaking, there are two kinds of
noumenal heterosexuality, viz. an objective kind involving oral
practices and a
subjective kind involving (active) recourse to pornographic erotica.
30. The objective kind of noumenal heterosexuality
stems from the old-brain side of the supercallosum (linking forebrain
to
backbrain), and the subjective kind from the new-mind side of the
superego
(linking superconscious to subconscious).
CYCLE
SIXTY-FIVE
1. Unlike the distinction between the old
and
new brains, which divides the left-hand side of the overall brain from
its
right-hand side in terms of a vertical axis, the distinction between
the left
midbrain and the right midbrain appertains to a horizontal axis, so to
speak,
which forms a right-angle with the aforementioned.
Thus the left midbrain is subject, like its
phenomenal counterpart, to both old and new brain divisions.
2. In relation to the left midbrain, which
(being contiguous in its subjectivity with the forebrain) is to the
left of our
horizontal axis dividing the one midbrain from the other, the forebrain
is
effectively extreme left, since to the left of the left midbrain.
3. In relation to the right midbrain, which
(being contiguous in its objectivity with the backbrain) is to the
right of our
horizontal axis dividing the one midbrain from the other,
the backbrain is effectively extreme right, since to the right of the
right
midbrain.
4. Hence whereas the left midbrain connotes
with
anything that is left wing, the forebrain connotes with whatever is
extreme
left wing.
5. And whereas
the
right midbrain connotes with anything that is right wing, the backbrain
connotes with whatever is extreme right wing.
6. From the extreme right-wing Time of the
backbrain to the extreme left-wing Space of the forebrain via the
right-wing
Volume of the right midbrain and the left-wing Mass of the left
midbrain.
7. From the Time-Space of the elemental
forebrain to the Space-Space of the elemental superconscious via the
Volume-Space of the molecular forebrain and the Mass-Space of the
molecular
superconscious.
8. From the Time-Time of the elemental
backbrain
to the Space-Time of the elemental subconscious via the Volume-Time of
the
molecular backbrain and the Mass-Time of the molecular subconscious.
9. From the Time-Volume of the elemental
right-midbrain
to the Space-Volume of the elemental conscious via the Volume-Volume of
the
molecular right-midbrain and the Mass-Volume of the molecular conscious.
10. From the Time-Mass of the elemental
left-midbrain to the Space-Mass of the elemental unconscious via the
Volume-Mass of the molecular left-midbrain and the Mass-Mass of the
molecular
unconscious.
11. In distinguishing between the
elemental/molecular forebrain and the molecular/elemental
superconscious, one
is effectively dividing the objectivity of old-brain Time/Volume from
the
subjectivity of new-mind Mass/Space on the basis of a
physical/psychical
generalization appertaining to culture.
12. Likewise in distinguishing between the
elemental/molecular backbrain and the molecular/elemental subconscious,
one is
effectively dividing the objectivity of old-brain Time/Volume from the
subjectivity of new-mind Mass/Space on the basis of a
physical/psychical
generalization appertaining to barbarism.
13. Similarly, in distinguishing between the
elemental/molecular
right-midbrain and the molecular/elemental conscious, one is
effectively
dividing the objectivity of old-brain Time/Volume from the subjectivity
of
new-mind Mass/Space on the basis of a physical/psychical generalization
appertaining to civilization.
14. Finally, in distinguishing between the
elemental/molecular left-midbrain and the molecular/elemental
unconscious, one
is effectively dividing the objectivity of old-brain Time/Volume from
the
subjectivity of new-mind Mass/Space on the basis of a
physical/psychical
generalization appertaining to nature.
15. More pedantically, one could speak of the
Time-Space of the elemental forebrain vis-à-vis the Volume-Space of the
molecular forebrain in relation to the old brain, and of the Mass-Space
of the
molecular forebrain vis-à-vis the Space-Space of the elemental
forebrain in
relation to the new brain, but such a physical uniformity applied
throughout
the forebrain would hardly do proper justice to the underlining
particle/wavicle distinction which, no matter how interrelated, enables
one to
distinguish, in this cultural context, the objectivity of Time and
Volume from
the subjectivity of Mass and Space.
16. Conversely, a pedantic distinction between the
elemental and molecular superconscious of the old mind vis-à-vis the
molecular
and elemental superconscious of the new mind would not do proper
justice to the
physical/psychical distinction which, no matter how generalized,
enables the
objectivity of Time and Volume to be distinguished, in this cultural
context,
from the subjectivity of Mass and Space.
17. Of course, what applies to the
forebrain/superconscious applies, in varying degrees, to each of the
other
subdivisions of the overall brain and mind, viz.
backbrain/subconscious, right
midbrain/conscious, and left midbrain/unconscious.
18. Thus we should have no hesitation in
contending that whenever objectivity is at stake, be it with regard to
Time or
Volume, the physical, dominated by particles, is to the fore, while,
conversely, whenever subjectivity is the leading quality, be it with
regard to
Mass or Space, the psychical, subject to a wavicle preponderance, will
be to
the fore.
19. However, the degree to which the physical in
the old brain will preponderate over the psychical of the old mind or,
conversely, the psychical in the new mind preponderate over the
physical of the
new brain will vary from subdivision to subdivision of the overall
brain/mind.
20. Thus it is my contention that in the more
objective contexts of the backbrain and the right midbrain, the
old-brain
physical will considerably preponderate over the old-mind psychical,
whereas in
the more subjective contexts of the left midbrain and the forebrain, by
contrast, the new-mind psychical will considerably preponderate over
the new-brain
physical.
21. However, the preponderance of new-mind
psychical over new-brain physical in the backbrain and the right
midbrain will
be considerably less than in the cases of the left midbrain and the
forebrain,
while, conversely, the preponderance of old-brain physical over
old-mind
psychical in the left midbrain and the forebrain will be considerably
less than
in the cases of the backbrain and the right midbrain.
22. Such conclusions entitle one to conceive of
Time-Space
and Volume-Space in the forebrain as superficially objective in
relation to the
profound subjectivity of Mass-Space and Space-Space in the
superconscious, but
of Time-Time and Volume-Time in the backbrain as profoundly objective
in
relation to the superficial subjectivity of Mass-Time and Space-Time in
the
subconscious.
23. Conversely, one is thereby entitled to
conceive of Time-Volume and Volume-Volume in the right midbrain as
profoundly
objective in relation to the superficial subjectivity of Mass-Volume
and
Space-Volume in the conscious, but of Time-Mass and Volume-Mass in the
left
midbrain as superficially objective in relation to the profound
subjectivity of
Mass-Mass and Space-Mass in the unconscious.
CYCLE
SIXTY-SIX
1. If we accept that the subdivisions of
the
overall brain/mind are each divisible into old/new brain and old/new
mind, then
it must follow that those disciplines which are primarily objective,
like
science and economics, will correspond to the old/new-brain part of
this division,
while those disciplines, by contrast, which are primarily subjective,
like
politics and religion, will correspond to the old/new-mind part of the
division
in question.
2. Hence we should be able to distinguish
the
scientific and economic predilections of the old/new brain from the
political
and religious predilections of the old/new mind, irrespective of to
whichever
subdivision of the overall brain/mind.
3. Thus one should distinguish the
scientific
idealism of the elemental forebrain from the economic corporatism of
the
molecular forebrain with regard to the old brain, and the political
totalitarianism of the molecular superconscious from the religious
transcendentalism of the elemental superconscious with regard to the
new mind,
conceiving of the physical definition as germane to elemental Primal
Being/molecular particle photons, and the psychical definition as
germane to
outer positive culture/the Holy Spirit of Heaven - the former options
objective
and the latter ones subjective.
4. Likewise, one should distinguish the
scientific naturalism of the elemental backbrain from the economic
communism of
the molecular backbrain with regard to the old brain, and the political
authoritarianism of the molecular subconscious from the religious
fundamentalism
of the elemental subconscious with regard to the new mind, conceiving
of the
physical definition as germane to elemental Primal Doing/molecular
particle
protons, and the psychical definition as germane to outer positive
barbarism/the Holy Soul of Hell - the former options objective and the
latter
ones subjective.
5. Similarly, one should distinguish the
scientific materialism of the elemental right-midbrain from the
economic
capitalism of the molecular right-midbrain with regard to the old
brain, and
the political parliamentarianism of the molecular conscious from the
religious
nonconformism of the elemental conscious with regard to the new mind,
conceiving of the physical definition as germane to elemental Primal
Taking/molecular particle neutrons, and the psychical definition as
germane to
outer positive civilization/the Holy Mind of Purgatory - the former
options
objective and the latter ones subjective.
6. Finally, one should distinguish the
scientific realism of the elemental left-midbrain from the economic
socialism
of the molecular left-midbrain with regard to the old brain, and the
political
republicanism of the molecular unconscious from the religious humanism
of the
elemental unconscious with regard to the new mind, conceiving of the
physical definition
as germane to elemental Primal Giving/molecular particle electrons, and
the
psychical definition as germane to outer positive nature/the Holy Will
of the
World - the former options objective and the latter ones subjective.
7. Hence whereas science and economics are
rooted, as objective disciplines, in the physical, politics and
religion, by
contrast, are centred, as subjective disciplines, in the psychical, and
never
more so than when in their primary, or genuine, manifestations
respectively (as
above).
8. However, when it comes to the
'bovaryized'
manifestations of each of our four main disciplines, as described
elsewhere, we
are in the paradoxical realm, for example, of the old mind as
secondary, or
shadow, host to politics and religion, and the new brain as secondary,
or
shadow, host to science and economics.
9. The elemental example of the old mind as
secondary host to cultural religion would be in terms of the idealist
transcendentalism of the Clear Light of Space (the Void), whose
correlation
with the elemental superconscious of the old mind constitutes a
quasi-scientific mode of religious 'subjectivity'.
10. The molecular
example
of the old mind as secondary host to cultural religion would be in
terms of the
corporate transcendentalism of the Unclear Light of Inner Space, whose
correlation with the molecular superconscious constitutes a
quasi-economic mode

of the old mind as secondary host to cultural politics would be in

idealist totalitarianism of outer negative culture, whose correlation

elemental superconscious constitutes a quasi-scientific mode of
political

politics and

CYCLE
SIXTY-NINE
1. We can now distinguish not only between
primary and secondary in relation to the old brain vis-à-vis the old
mind and,
conversely, the new mind vis-à-vis the new brain, but also with regard
to the
physical and psychical subdivisions of the overall brain/mind.
2. Hence whereas the forebrain, for
example, is
primary in relation to the old brain and secondary in relation to the
new
brain, the superconscious is secondary in relation to the old mind and
primary
in relation to the new mind.
3. Likewise, the backbrain, while primary
in
relation to the old brain, is secondary in relation to the new brain,
whereas
the subconscious, though secondary in relation to the old mind, is
primary in
relation to the new mind.
4. Such a paradoxical situation applies
equally to
the phenomenal realms of the right midbrain/conscious on the one hand,
and of
the left midbrain/unconscious on the other hand.
5. Hence whereas the right midbrain, for
example, is primary in relation to the old brain and secondary in
relation to
the new brain, the conscious is secondary in relation to the old mind
and
primary in relation to the new mind.
6. Likewise, the left midbrain, while
primary in
relation to the old brain, is secondary in relation to the new brain,
whereas
the unconscious, though secondary in relation to the old mind, is
primary in
relation to the new mind.
7. We can also distinguish the primary
nature
of, say, old-brain Time-Space in relation to the idealist idealism of
absolute
Primal Being from the secondary nature of old-mind Time-Space in
relation to
the idealist transcendentalism of the Clear Light of Space.
8. Conversely, we can distinguish the
secondary
nature of, say, new-brain Space-Space in relation to the
transcendentalist
idealism of absolute Supreme Being from the primary nature of new-mind
Space-Space in relation to the transcendentalist transcendentalism of
the Holy
Spirit of Heaven.
9. The reason
why
religion can so easily ape science and, conversely, science ape
religion in
this primary/secondary fashion ... is that both are alike elemental and
therefore absolutist, whereas economics and politics, being molecular,
are less
likely to ape either religion or science than to ape each other, in
consequence
of their relativistic integrities.
10. Hence we can also distinguish the primary
nature of, say, old-brain Volume-Space in relation to the corporate
corporatism
of molecular particle photons from the secondary nature of old-mind
Volume-Space in relation to the corporate totalitarianism of inner
negative
culture.
11. Conversely, we can distinguish the secondary
nature of, say, new-brain Mass-Space in relation to the totalitarian
corporatism of molecular wavicle photons from the primary nature of
new-mind
Mass-Space in relation to the totalitarian totalitarianism of outer
positive
culture.
12. Such distinctions apply equally throughout all
four spectra of organized life ... from culture and barbarism to
civilization
and nature, and indicate that wherever the primary condition is found
... the
secondary one exists as its shadow self, whether on elemental or
molecular,
physical or psychical, negative or positive, particle or wavicle terms.
13. The secondary
condition of the old mind is the angelic conscience of the primary
condition of
the old brain, whereas the secondary condition of the new brain is the
daemonic
id of the primary condition of the new mind.
14. Every Devil has its angel; every God its
daemon. The old-mind angel of the old
brain is its conscience, which constrains from excessive evil; the
new-brain
daemon of the new mind is its id, which impels to greater good. The one is an inhibitive 'blessing', the
other an inspirational 'curse'.
CYCLE
SEVENTY
1. From the extreme right-wing Time of
barbarism
to the extreme left-wing Space of culture via the right-wing Volume of
civilization and the left-wing Mass of nature.
2. From the
extreme
left-wing cultural science (idealism) of Time-Space to the extreme
left-wing
cultural religion (transcendentalism) of Space-Space via the extreme
left-wing
cultural economics (corporatism) of Volume-Space and the extreme
left-wing
cultural politics (totalitarianism) of Mass-Space.
3. From the
extreme
right-wing barbarous science (naturalism) of Time-Time to the extreme
right-wing barbarous religion (fundamentalism) of Space-Time via the
extreme
right-wing barbarous economics (communism) of Volume-Time and the
extreme
right-wing barbarous politics (authoritarianism) of Mass-Time.
4. From the right-wing civilized science
(materialism) of Time-Volume to the right-wing civilized religion
(nonconformism) of Space-Volume via the right-wing civilized economics
(capitalism) of Volume-Volume and the right-wing civilized politics
(parliamentarianism) of Mass-Volume .
5. From the
left-wing
natural science (realism) of Time-Mass to the left-wing natural
religion
(humanism) of Space-Mass via the left-wing natural economics
(socialism) of
Volume-Mass and the left-wing natural politics (republicanism) of
Mass-Mass.
6. To conceive of the Arts with regard to
Space,
Time, Volume, and Mass ... on the following basis: art as the art form par
excellence of Space, and hence culture; music as the art form par
excellence of Time, and hence barbarism; literature as the art form par
excellence of Volume, and hence civilization; dance as the art form par
excellence of Mass, and hence nature.
7. Thus we could speak of the cultural
art-form
of art in Space; the barbarous art-form of music in Time; the civilized
art-form of literature in Volume; and the natural art-form of dance in
8. To distinguish, with regard to art, the
Time-Space of 'scientific art' and the Volume-Space of 'economic art'
from the
Mass-Space of 'political art' and the Space-Space of 'religious art',
as one
would distinguish, say, carving from painting on the one hand, and
sculpture
from drawing on the other hand.
9. To distinguish, with regard to music,
the
Time-Time of 'scientific music' and the Volume-Time of 'economic music'
from the
Mass-Time of 'political music' and the Space-Time of 'religious music',
as one
would distinguish, say, Jazz from Classical on the one hand, and Pop
from Folk
on the other hand.
10. To distinguish, with regard to literature, the
Time-Volume of 'scientific literature' and the Volume-Volume of
'economic
literature' from the Mass-Volume of 'political literature' and the
Space-Volume
of 'religious literature', as one would distinguish, say, poetry from
fiction
on the one hand, and drama from philosophy on the other hand.
11. To distinguish, with regard to dance, the
Time-Mass of 'scientific dance' and the Volume-Mass of 'economic dance'
from
the Mass-Mass of 'political dance' and the Space-Mass of 'religious
dance', as
one would distinguish, say, set dancing from ballroom dancing on the
one hand,
and disco dancing from belly dancing on the other hand.
12. Dancing is the art form par
excellence of woman and literature the art form par excellence
of
man, whereas music is the art form par excellence of the Devil,
and art
the art form par excellence of God, whether in terms of
science,
economics, politics, or religion.
13. From the 'scientific woman' of choreographic
realism to the 'religious woman' of choreographic humanism via the
'economic
woman' of choreographic socialism and the 'political woman' of
choreographic
republicanism.
14. From the 'scientific man' of literary
materialism to the 'religious man' of literary nonconformism via the
'economic
man' of literary capitalism and the 'political man' of literary
parliamentarianism.
15. From the 'scientific Devil' of musical
naturalism to the 'religious Devil' of musical fundamentalism via the
'economic
Devil' of musical communism and the 'political Devil' of musical
authoritarianism.
16. From the 'scientific God' of plastic idealism
to the 'religious God' of plastic transcendentalism via the 'economic
God' of
plastic corporatism and the 'political God' of plastic totalitarianism.
CYCLE
SEVENTY-ONE
1. From the
Devil's
music to God's art via man's literature and woman's dance, as from the
punishment of music to the grace of art via the criminality of
literature and
the sin of dance.
2. To contrast the fall from
scientific/economic
art to scientific/economic dance with the rise from scientific/economic
music
to scientific/economic literature on the one hand, and the salvation of
political/religious dance to political/religious art with the damnation
of
political/religious literature to political/religious music on the
other hand.
3. That which respectively falls and rises
is
germane, within scientific and economic parameters, to the Fallen and
to the
Risen, whereas that which is respectively saved and damned is germane,
within
political and religious parameters, to salvation and to damnation.
4. One can no more save that which has
fallen
than damn that which has risen ... except that the Fallen pass through
sin and
the Risen pass through crime.
5. Christ Himself was crucified as a common
criminal and rose from the dead into Purgatory, whence He was
effectively
joined, on Earth, by nonconformists.
6. One can no more rise to Heaven than fall
from
Hell. One can only fall from
scientific/economic Heaven to the scientific/economic World, and rise
to
scientific/economic Purgatory from scientific/economic Hell. Damnation and salvation are quite otherwise.
7. He who would save from the
political/religious World to the political/religious Heaven is not of
the
World, still less Purgatory, but a 'Child of Heaven' who has about as
much in
common with the World as Saturn with the earth.
8. One is less of an outsider, in relation
to
the World, as a solar Devil ... than as a Saturnian God, since Saturn
is
eight or nine time farther from the earth than the sun.
9. The World is first and foremost a place
for
worldly people, who reflect the immediacy of the world in a way which
no
outsider ever can, not even the least of outsiders, who are less
diabolical and
solar than purgatorial and lunar.
10. Easier to be a man than
a Devil, but easier to be a Devil than a God vis-à-vis the womanly
World.
11. One could speak of the mundane World as
existing under the purgatorial Overworld, while to either side of this
Overworld, behind and beyond it, are to be found the hellish
Netherworld and
the heavenly Otherworld - the latter considerably harder of attainment
than the
former!
12. If the goal of evolution is Heaven, then it is
indubitably at the World's expense, and hence the prevailing powers
that
condition and dominate the lives of a majority of people, necessarily
worldly,
on Earth. Yet Heaven, with its
Saturn-like distance from the world, is so tangential to mundane life
... that
only the most radical type of outsider (in relation to the World) could
be
expected to champion it.
13. God is such an outsider, for whom the insiders
of this world are fleshy sinners whose mundane lives fall well-short of
divine
grace, just as the earth falls well-short of Saturn.
Verily, salvation is a tremendous leap for
anyone of the World/Mother to make, particularly with crime and
punishment
lurking nearby, like the Moon/Son and the Sun/Father, obstacles, in a
sense, to
the graceful beatitude of Saturn/the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
14. Ultimately, if Saturn/Heaven is to become more
the rule than the exception, then not only the Earth/World, but the
Sun/Hell
and the Moon/Purgatory must be overcome and effectively neutralized, so
that
their influence on humanity is reduced in proportion to the increase of
spiritual influence.
CYCLE
SEVENTY-TWO
1. There is about my midi-system - and, I
would
guess, midis in general - an unpleasantly open-society correlation ...
with
upper-class, middle-class, and working-class parallels with regard to
radio,
record deck, and tape deck respectively, which suggests the sort of
solar-lunar-mundane triplicity that must needs be 'overcome' and
transcended
... if the classless salvation, in relation to this, of compact
disc-players is
to come fully to pass (and not merely as a tangential aside to the
aforementioned powers).
2. L(ong) P(layer)s/record-players doth
make
'pricks' of us all, whether wittingly or unwittingly, and should be
avoided in
the interests of a more sinful adherence to tapes/tape decks as a
precondition
of compact disc salvation in the classless Beyond.
3. That person whose hope is of the Beyond is of the World and its Mass, and can
expect to be
saved from sin to grace through Messianic redemption when the time is
ripe.
4. The salvation of sinners can only be
effected, ultimately, through the People democratically opting, under
Messianic
auspices, for religious sovereignty and the right, thereby, to
spiritual
self-realization in what I am wont to term a Social Transcendentalist
Centre.
5. Social Transcendentalism would bring the
World to the grace of Heaven, if those who are of the World opt for
religious
sovereignty when the opportunity arises - thereby being resurrected
from the
sinful realm of Mass-Mass to the graceful realm of Space-Space, as from
outer
positive nature to inner positive culture.
6. Once saved to the Heaven of religious
sovereignty, the People would never again have to bow down, in
worshipful
subjection, before the false Gods of autocratic, democratic, and even
bureaucratic precedent. They would be
free of such idols for the truth of God within, the one true God, Who
is One with the Holy Spirit of Heaven.
7. Only through the People's opting,
democratically and freely, for religious sovereignty ... can
the '
8. It is my hope and belief that, given
ample
opportunity to comprehend the Truth (as expressed in these and other
pages by
this writer), the People will rally to the cause of Social
Transcendentalism
and thus opt to become religiously sovereign, abandoning the political,
economic, and judicial sovereignties of the republican World to the
safe
keeping of he who would save them from worldly sin in order that they
may enter
the heavenly Kingdom ... wherein only grace prevails - the grace,
through
religious sovereignty, of the Holy Spirit of Heaven, which is One with
true God
now and forever more, eternity without end, as proclaimed by His
foremost
prophet and servant on Earth.
9. All great literary texts, alas, have an
end,
and this one is no exception, even if it is my finest work to-date and
a true
testimony to philosophical genius the likes of which the world has
never known
before and, in all likelihood, will never know again, except it come
from me! I have achieved what I set out to
achieve,
namely the Truth, and it only remains now for the World to accept it
and follow
me into the Beyond ... of divine grace, wherein the joy of Truth will
reveal
the spirit of Heaven.
