SEASONAL
ARTS
1. Just as one might think, on a noumenal/phenomenal basis, of summer as the
season of fire,
winter as the season of water, spring as the season of vegetation
(earth), and
autumn as the season of air, so one could think of art as the art form
of fire
(paint), literature as the art form of water (ink), sculpture as the
art form
of vegetation (clay), and music as the art form of air (airwaves).
2. On such a noumenal/phenomenal
basis,
it
should
be
possible to conceive of summer as the season of art, and
hence of painters par
excellence; winter as the season of literature, and hence
of writers par excellence; spring as the season of sculpture,
and hence
of sculptors par excellence; and autumn as the season of music,
and
hence of musicians par excellence.
3. For an elemental correspondence surely
exists
between summer and art in relation to fire; winter and literature in
relation
to water; spring and sculpture in relation to vegetation; and autumn
and music
in relation to air.
4. Considering that fire is diabolic (superfeminine to subfeminine
in
space-time devolution), water feminine, vegetation masculine, and air
divine (submasculine to supermasculine in
time-space evolution), I hold art to be the diabolic art form par
excellence, literature to be the feminine art form par
excellence,
sculpture the masculine art form par excellence, and music the
divine
art form par excellence.
5. This is equivalent to saying that, like
summer and art, fire is apparent; that, like winter and literature,
water is
quantitative; that, like spring and sculpture, vegetation is
qualitative; and
that, like autumn and music, air is essential.
6. For the apparent is diabolic, the
quantitative feminine, the qualitative masculine, and the essential
divine,
which is to say, male in a noumenal as
opposed to a
phenomenal way, as applicable to time and space rather than to mass and
volume.
7. Likewise, that which is diabolic is
female in
a noumenal as opposed to a phenomenal way,
which is
to say, as applicable to space and time rather than to volume and mass.
8. There is consequently a sense in which
summer
is noumenal in a female way (diabolic),
winter
phenomenal in a female way (feminine), spring phenomenal in a male way
(masculine), and autumn noumenal in a male
way
(divine).
9. Likewise art will be noumenal
in a female way (diabolic), literature phenomenal in a female way
(feminine),
sculpture phenomenal in a male way (masculine), and music noumenal
in a male way (divine).
10. Now whereas that which
is female will be objective, whether noumenal
(in
space and time) or phenomenal (in volume and mass), that which is male,
by
contrast, will be subjective, whether phenomenal (in mass and volume)
or noumenal (in time and space).
11. As a rule,
objectivity corresponds to that which is straight or rectilinear,
whereas
subjectivity corresponds to whatever is round or curvilinear.
12. Hence there is about objectivity a certain
straightness, which contrasts with the roundness of subjectivity pretty
much as
the rectilinear straightness of the majority of paintings and books
contrasts
with the curvilinear roundness of the majority of sculptures and
records
(including compact discs), the majority of which are used for the
storage of
recorded sound, especially music.
13. Thus to contrast the objective nature of art
and literature, viz. paintings and books, with the subjective nature of
sculpture and music, viz. figure sculptures and records, as one could
contrast
summer and winter with spring and autumn, the former seasons female,
the latter
ones male.
14. For this is equivalent to contrasting fire and
water, the objective elements par
excellence, with vegetation
and air, the latter of which are not only subjective, but male as
opposed to
female on both phenomenal and noumenal
terms.
PRINTING
VIS-À-VIS
WRITING
1. There is likewise an
objective/subjective distinction,
it seems to me, between printing and writing, since that which is
objective
remains free or separate, whereas the subjective reflects a tendency
towards
binding and, hence, unity.
2. Hence it could be argued that printing
corresponds to the female side of life in what amounts to an objective
tendency
of characters to remain separate, or disjunctive, whereas writing
corresponds
to the male side of life in what amounts to the subjective bias of
joined
characters, which thereby bind into a writerly
whole.
3. It would also follow that whereas
printing is
largely public, or suited to literary products in the public domain,
writing,
by contrast, is largely private, and therefore more suited to literary
exchanges, or whatever, of a private or secretive nature.
4. I happen to think that the deepest and
truest
writings, which are more likely to be philosophical than, say,
fictional,
require to be written rather than printed, and that only on such a
subjective
basis could justice be done to them, insofar as the profoundest
writings will
be those which are the most subjective, and hence male-orientated.
5. Doubtless fiction and philosophy are the
two
kinds of literature which most conform to a subjective bias, with
fiction
arguably more masculine and phenomenal than - at any rate,
comparatively -
divine and noumenal, given its vegetative
bias within
the broadly feminine, or fluidal, parameters of literature generally.
6. This would contrast with poetry and
drama as
the two kinds of literary production which most conform to an objective
bias,
with poetry arguably more diabolic and noumenal,
comparatively
speaking,
than
feminine
or phenomenal, given its fiery bias
within the broadly feminine, or fluidal, parameters of literature
generally.
7. Yet, paradoxes of this sort
notwithstanding,
it does seem that the more subjective literature becomes, as in the
best
philosophy, the less applicability does it have to the public domain,
and the
more irrelevant printing accordingly becomes to it.
8. In fact, one might be forgiven for
wondering
whether print could ever do justice to works of a deeply subjective and
hence
truth-oriented order, insofar as printed matter betrays what is,
after all, an objective tendency in which separateness rather
than joinedness is the (female) norm.
9. And such a
norm,
being demonstrably superficial, can hardly be expected to do justice to
works
of literary profundity, least of all those which advocate, through
philosophical wisdom, greater binding to self as the solution, for
males, to
life's manifold perplexities.
10. There is definitely no basis for supposing
that printed works will give any great encouragement to males to
cultivate
subjectivity at the expense of objectivity, particularly in view of the
fact
that printing reflects an objective disposition such that 'flies in the
face'
of subjective binding.
11. On the contrary, printed material is a
reflection of freedom, and the growth of printing at the expense of
writing in
the modern world was not achieved without the correlative shrinkage of
binding,
and thus of male-oriented moral values.
12. For there would seem to be a connection
between printing and secular freedom on the one hand, and between
writing and
ecclesiastic binding on the other hand, with the former very much the
prevailing norm not only in so-called 'free societies', but in the
public
domain generally.
13. So much so that one cannot conceive of a
deeply subjective or moralistic text being published in book form,
since books
send out the wrong signals, in their printed-character formats, as far
as any
possibility of religious binding is concerned.
14. Not only would it be a contradiction in terms
for deeply subjective work to be published in book form, but it is
almost
inconceivable that publishers would encourage the dissemination of such
writings anyway, bearing in mind their irrelevance to the printed norms
to
which books invariably subscribe.
15. The only medium likely to do justice to highly
philosophical texts of a deeply subjective nature, such that go beyond
even
Christian binding in their transcendentalist aspirations, would be
compact
discs, specifically with the use of a writerly,
or
joined-character,
typeface
...
such that could only prove more
technically
suited to the theoretical exemplification of what may well amount to a Superchristian binding, the binding-of-bindings
and
truth-of-truths.
16. For binding is not only beyond freedom, as wavicles lie beyond particles, but is that which
comes to
pass when the male of the species takes responsibility for his own
destiny and
rejects secular objectivity as a matter of principle.
17. Thus it is theoretically possible to restore,
on suitably artificial terms, writing to its moral pre-eminence in the
vanguard
of binding to subjective values, and anyone who does so will have
passed beyond
the secular freedoms of the world and the dominion, in consequence, of
female
objectivity.
18. Anyone who seeks
for
truth not in himself or, rather, his self, but in the print-based
publications
of secular modernity ... is searching in the wrong place and
effectively
wasting his time!
SELF
VIS-À-VIS
BRAIN
1. It is easy to confound the self with the
brain, for the brain is the arena in which the ego strives for symbolic
definition as 'I' or 'me'. In actuality,
however, the brain is merely a tool of the self.
2. That which thinks is not the brain as
such,
though the brain is certainly capable of spontaneously generating
thoughts from
time to time, but the self which uses the brain for purposes of
thinking either
about itself or others, not to mention about things or situations in
general. I call this self the central
nervous system, for it is that which, composed of innumerable nerve
fibres,
locks into the base of the brain and stretches down the length of the
spine.
3. Thus when the brain thinks or, more
usually,
is encouraged to think, it is the self, the central nervous system,
which is
responsible, and it is in response to a variety of sensual and sensible
stimuli
that the self utilizes the verbal capacity of the brain for purposes of
thinking.
4. Yet it is less the brain thinking ...
than
the self thinking through the brain; for the central nervous system has
the
capacity to formulate thoughts according to its requirements, and what
is
thought follows from its manipulation of verbal and even non-verbal
concepts,
including images.
5. Now although the brain occasionally
seems to
think by itself, it is by and large under the control of the self, and
therefore
only thinks or, rather, is used for thinking when the self ordains it. A brain, on the other hand, that was not
under the self's control would be deranged, whether because of damage
to the
brain or damage to the central nervous system, or both.
6. For most people most of the time,
however,
thought happens when one wants it to happen, because it is oneself or,
rather,
one's self, the central nervous system, which is responsible for making
it
happen, since the brain is simply a tool and verbal storehouse of the
self,
which manifests itself to it as ego, the fulcrum of thought.
7. Therefore the 'I' that thinks these
thoughts
is not the brain but the egocentric manifestation of the self which
uses the
symbol 'I' to define itself in relation to thought, and which only
thinks when
it wants to think.
8. Hence that which pertains to the brain,
viz.
verbal concepts, and that which actually thinks by manipulating those
concepts
in a rational and meaningful way, viz. the ego, are two quite separate
entities,
as separate or distinctive, in fact, as the phenomenally sensible
not-self, or
brain, and the transpersonal self, or central nervous system.
9. For the brain is merely one of a number
of
not-selves, or organic foci of willpower, which range from sensuality
to
sensibility on both phenomenal and noumenal
planes,
whereas the central nervous system is transpersonal in its ability to
manipulate all organs of sensuality and sensibility, whether directly
or via
the brain, and yet remain distinct from them at the same time.
10. In this respect, the transpersonal self, or
central nervous system, contrasts with the personal self, or bodily
form in
general, which is simply the outer manifestation, or concretization, of
the
inner self ... to the extent that it reflects, in greater or lesser
degrees,
either an objective or a subjective disposition - the former female and
the
latter male.
11. Hence whereas the personal self, or bodily
form, is what is apparent to perception, the transpersonal self, or
central
nervous system, is hidden from view as that which is behind or central
to the
body generally, and compared to which the latter is simply a concrete
manifestation.
12. Now whether the body is an objective
concretization of the self or a subjective concretization of it ...
will depend
on the gender of the central nervous system, since the outer
distinctions
between female and male derive from the inner distinctions between what
are
fundamentally two different kinds of nervous system - the objective, or
selfless, kind of the female self, and the subjective, or selfish, kind
of the
male self.
13. Hence there is a basic conflict of the seeds,
or selves, long before they achieve concretization in one of two
principal ways
- either objectively in the case of the female body, with its salient
protuberances, or subjectively in the case of the male body, which is
more
classically reflective, in its vegetative subjectivity, of perfect form.
14. This conflict of the seeds may be traced back
to the cosmic distinction, at the roots of life, between the stellar
plane and
the solar plane, the latter having emerged from the former in the
course of
evolutionary progress from objectivity to subjectivity, superfeminine
to submasculine, vacuum to plenum, spatial
space to
sequential time.
15. In the Bible, this emergence is of course
interpreted as a 'fall', the 'fall' of Satan from 'Heaven', which is
identified
with the Creatoresque 'First Mover'
(Jehovah). But, in truth, such a 'fall' is
commensurate
with evolutionary progress from female objectivity to male
subjectivity, and
thus from selflessness to selfishness, the precondition, on any plane,
not only
of egocentric but, more importantly, of psychocentric,
and
hence
soulful,
self-realization.
16. For the self is divisible, after all, into
egocentric and psychocentric
manifestations, the
former appertaining to form and the latter, subdivisible
into spiritual and emotional aspects, respectively appertaining to
content and
to contentment, and only that self which, being subjective to begin
with, is
sufficiently selfish ... will be able to cultivate the soul to any
appreciable
extent, an extent commensurate, I mean, with soul per
se,
rather than with some 'bovaryization' of
soul more
germane to a hegemonic will and/or spirit.
17. Hence it takes a male self to develop selfness, or selfhood, to any appreciable
extent; for the
self cannot be developed where there is no genetic predisposition to
subjectivity but, rather, a predisposition to objectivity on the basis
of a
secondary order of self such that, being selfless, defers to power and
glory,
will and spirit, at the expense of form and content(ment),
ego
and
soul.
18. It is this capacity for enhanced selfhood
which
sets males apart from females, and guarantees that the development of
ego and
soul to their logical conclusions will only be possible on the basis of
an
intensely subjective orientation ... such that requires a more evolved
central
nervous system than that to which the generality of females are heir.
SUBDIVISIONS
OF
THE
SELF
1. Besides having a physiological
correlation
with the central nervous system, the self can be psychologically and
psychically divided, as I hinted above, into ego on the one hand, and
mind and
soul on the other hand, so that there is, over and above its
physiological
basis (in the central nervous system), a three-way subdivision between
ego,
mind, and soul, as, in other words, between conscious, superconscious,
and subconscious, the latter being the emotional core of the self.
2. Thus the self, considered
psychologically and
psychically, is divisible between a conscious ego, a superconscious
mind, and a subconscious soul, with the ego situated in-between what
are in
effect the psychocentric extremes of the
self -
namely, the superconscious mind and the
subconscious
soul.
3. Unlike the mind and soul, the ego has
intellectual connotations by dint of its ability, in consciousness, to
manipulate thoughts, as already discussed, whereas the mind should only
be
associated with the spirit (while still remaining distinct from what
is, after
all, a manifestation of what I am apt to think of as psychesomatic
selflessness) and the soul, by contrast, only be associated with the
emotional
core of the self.
4. In fact, it is the soul which is truly
of the
self psychocentrically, because it
strictly pertains
to the self and not to either the self involved with the not-self
intellectually, viz. thoughts, or the self conditioned by selflessness
as
spirituality, viz. sensational awareness.
5. Thus while the ego utilizes the not-self
and
is transmuted into mind by selflessness, the self can only tolerate so
much
selflessness before it opts to rebound from it and
psycho-concentrically
gravitate to what we call the soul, or kernel of the self, which is its
emotional resolution.
6. Thus the self progresses, in overall
terms,
from its physiological mean in the central nervous system to its
psycho-concentric core in the soul via its egocentric and
psycho-eccentric
compromises with the will of the not-self on the one hand and with the
spirit
of selflessness on the other hand - the former appertaining to power
and the
latter to glory.
7. It progresses, if you prefer, from id to
soul
via ego and mind, as from its instinctual basis in the central nervous
system
to its emotional core in the soul via intellectual and spiritual
intermediate
positions in conjunction with the will and the spirit, neither of which
directly appertain to the self but, rather, to that which stands apart
from it
as not-self and selflessness.
8. For whereas the not-self is an
illustration
of somatic power, selflessness is an illustration of psychesomatic
glory, neither of which should be confused with the physiological
structure of
the self as central nervous system, the psychological form of the self
as ego,
the psycho-eccentric content of the self as mind, or the
psycho-concentric
contentment of the self as soul.
9. But if the not-self and selflessness
come in
a variety of different guises, from metachemical
and
chemical with the objective elements of fire and water ... to physical
and
metaphysical with the subjective elements of vegetation and air, so
too, I
contend, does the self, since not only is there a gender divide between
the objective
and subjective manifestations of the central nervous system, but the
nervous
system, corresponding to the transpersonal self, can be phenomenal or noumenal, lower class or upper class, depending
on whether
it is of volume and mass or of time and space.
THE
LIE
OF
EQUALITY
1. It would be as foolish to imagine that
there
is only one kind of self, one kind of central nervous system, as to
imagine
that there was only one kind of not-self, say phenomenally subjective,
like the
brain or even, in sensual terms, the
phallus.
2. There is certainly only one self per
person,
one central nervous system to each body, but that self can be primarily
objective (and secondarily subjective) or primarily subjective (and
secondarily
objective), depending on one's gender, as well as either phenomenal or noumenal in the overall composition of its
elements.
3. Thus not only should we distinguish the
female self, or central nervous system, from the male self, but one
should also
allow, on a planar basis (the basis of elemental planes considered
individually), for distinctions between nervous systems which,
depending on the
gender, are predominantly or preponderantly phenomenal, and those, up
above,
which are predominantly or preponderantly noumenal.
4. Hence we should distinguish between the
phenomenal objectivity of chemical nervous systems in relation to
volume-mass
femininity, and the phenomenal subjectivity of physical nervous systems
in
relation to mass-volume masculinity - the former affiliated to the
phenomenal
element of water, the latter to the phenomenal element of vegetation.
5. Likewise, we should distinguish between
the noumenal objectivity of metachemical
nervous systems in relation to space-time devility,
and
the
noumenal subjectivity of metaphysical
nervous
systems in relation to time-space divinity - the former affiliated to
the noumenal element of fire, the latter
to the noumenal element of air.
6. Now if the transpersonal self, or
central
nervous system, comes in a variety of guises ... from noumenal
objectivity in space-time devility to noumenal subjectivity in time-space divinity via
phenomenal
objectivity in volume-mass femininity and phenomenal subjectivity in
mass-volume masculinity, then so do its psychological and psychical
extrapolations, which accrue to it as ego, mind and soul.
7. Thus no more than we can limit life to
one
kind of central nervous system, and hence id, can it be limited to only
one
kind of ego or mind or soul, since there are as many egos, minds, and
souls as
there are different kinds of id, or nervous systems in general.
8. Hence to speak of an 'equality of all
souls',
as Christianity does, is not only untrue, it is a religious lie that
'flies in
the face' of actuality on both gender and, for want of a better word,
class
terms.
9. Unfortunately the consequences of the
adoption of this untruth by the Christian Church have been not only
contrary to
the will of Christ, who effectively taught the segregation of men from
women on
the basis of the Cross, but contrary to the truth of the 'friction of
the
seeds', as understood by the Jews and documented in the Old Testament.
10. For once you go down the road of upholding a
doctrine like the 'equality of all souls', you part company with gender
segregation through what amounts to a liberal equalitarianism which has
the
effect of creating mud where there might otherwise, in phenomenal
actuality,
have been water on the one hand, and earth on the other.
11. Thus instead of a harder or firmer earth in
relation to the salvation of men to the Cross, i.e. to Christ, the
Church
produces, through equalitarian delusion, a bog of mud for 'the
faithful', women
as well as men, to bog down in, thereby perpetuating the world.
12. Now such a 'bog' may call itself Christian,
but, in actuality, it is a liberal rejection of Christ and the notion
that, to
follow him, one should (as a man) leave women behind and 'take up the
cross' of
'earthly rebirth', the 'rebirth' that has less to do with perfect
contentment
(in metaphysical joy) than with perfect form (in physical knowledge),
to which,
due to subjective factors, the male of the species more perfectly
corresponds.
13. Of course, here we enter into another
criticism
of the Church, and hence of institutional Christianity; for 'earthly
rebirth',
even were it properly to occur on the basis of gender segregation, is a
couple
of planes short, in voluminous volume, of 'heavenly rebirth', the
'rebirth' not
merely of the brain in relation to the phallus, but of the lungs in
relation to
the ears - in short, of respiratory sensibility in spaced space.
14. For Christianity,
despite its professed zeal for salvation, doesn't really extend beyond
Christ
except to the extent that cerebral sensibility diagonally 'backs on' to
aural
sensuality in the metaphysical 'kingdom without' of the Father. There is no prospect of metaphysical
salvation, the salvation-of-salvations, with Christianity, but only a
physical
salvation, through the word of Christ, which brings men of a certain
phenomenal
and effectively lower-class stamp to physical sensibility in the brain,
a
sensibility which then finds itself vulnerable to Subchristian
pressures from the metaphysical sensuality of the Father in the
properly
theocratic realm beyond.
15. Yet Christianity, for all its deference to
aural sensuality in the theocratic transcendentalism of the Subchristian
Father, remains centred, by and large, in Christ, even when, through
gender
equalitarianism, it manifestly fails to 'come up to' his relative level
of
salvation. For it believes, remember, in
the 'equality of all souls', and such an equality takes rather more of
a
phenomenal turn than a noumenal one, even
with a
peripheral noumenal deference, as it were,
to
theocracy.
16. Hence not only is it difficult, if not
impossible, to achieve a genuinely Christian 'rebirth', through
Christ's
doctrine of the Cross, when gender equalitarianism creates mud out of
water and
earth, feminine and masculine elements, but it is impossible to the
point of
inconceivable to imagine people going beyond Christianity, and hence
the
phenomenal realm of cerebral sensibility, other than through a
peripheral
deference to the Father, in due Subchristian
vein.
17. For if there is one thing that Christianity is
against, in its equalitarianism of the souls, it is the prospect of a Superchristian soul such that transcends the
phenomenal
parameters of the Christian Church by upholding a metaphysical 'kingdom
within'
and the need, in consequence, for noumenal
salvation
from aural sensuality to respiratory sensibility, as from theocracy to
meritocracy or, in conventional Christian terminology, the Father to
the Holy
Spirit (of Heaven).
18. The Church has always opposed that which goes
sensibly beyond the phenomenal parameters of Christ; for the Church is
rooted
in the lie of the 'equality of all souls', and those souls, or selves,
must
needs be phenomenal, and hence lower class, in their relationship to
volume and
mass.
19. Thus the Church has denied religious
fulfilment to the higher man, call him superman or Superchristian
or Messianic Leader, whose soul, far from being equal to that of the
phenomenal
masses, is as superior to it as joy to pleasure or, in egocentrically
formal
terms, truth to knowledge.
20. That man for whom transcendental meditation
rather than prayer is the mode of sensibility to which he relates in
his
rejection of phenomenal limitations ... has never been given any
encouragement
by the Church, but is one for whom the Christian notion of the
'equality of all
souls' is, at best, a sick joke, at worst ... a brazen lie!
THE
LIE
OF
THE
HEART
1. If the reduction of life to phenomenal
terms
fails to do anything like adequate justice to its noumenal
dimensions, particularly to those dimensions in time and space which,
being
metaphysical, owe more to air than to fire, then the reduction of the
soul to
the heart, or the notion, in other words, that the heart is the 'seat
of the
soul', which is always widely prevalent in the West, does a grave
injustice to
the soul.
2. For the heart is not the self, neither
in
physiological nor in psychological and/or psychical terms, but one of
the
principal not-selves which the self, and the metachemically-biased
self
in
particular,
uses
for purposes of expressing metachemical
will.
3. The heart is, in fact, that not-self
which
corresponds to repetitive time on the space-time axis of noumenal
objectivity, and is thus the sensible mode of metachemical
not-self, the mode at the opposite extreme from its sensual
manifestation in
the eyes.
4. Thus if the heart and the self,
conceived as
the central nervous system, are not one and the same thing but really
quite
distinct entities, how has the soul, which psychically pertains to the
self, come
to be identified with the heart?
5. Surely the short answer to this
seemingly
impossible question is that people have treated the heart as a metaphor
for the
soul, as when the soul is understood to lie 'at the heart of', i.e. the
core,
of the self, and have then taken the metaphor too literally, so that
the core
of the self was thought to be the heart.
6. Hence they have substituted the heart
for the
metaphorical reference which the word 'heart' was intended to convey,
and have
then accepted the false conclusion that the heart and the 'heart of the
self',
viz. the soul, are one and the same.
7. Frankly, it is better to refer to the
soul as
the 'core of the self', if one is not to risk following in the fallible
footsteps of those who have substituted the heart for the metaphor it
was
intended to convey. For the 'core of the
self', the soul, is most certainly not
the heart,
even if the soul 'lies at the heart', so to speak, of the self.
8. Now the core of the self can be an
expression
of soul, a compression of soul, a depression of soul, or an impression
of soul,
depending on the self to which it is affiliated as its psychical
extrapolation.
9. That is to say, the soul can be
emotional on
either a loving, a proud, a pleasurable, or a joyful basis, depending
whether
the self to which it is affiliated has a metachemical,
and
hence
fiery,
temperament;
a chemical, and hence watery, temperament; a
physical, and hence earthy, temperament; or a metaphysical, and hence
airy,
temperament - at any rate, predominantly and/or preponderantly,
according to
both the gender of the person concerned and his/her prevailing class in
relation to either the phenomenal, and lower, planes or to the noumenal, and upper, planes.
10. Thus not all people are equally disposed to
love,
pride, pleasure, or joy, any more than to the negative converse of
those
emotions, and this is because, despite contingencies and fluctuating
circumstances, people differ from one another on the basis of the four
main
categories of self, as outlined above.
11. Even to look at people, and thus perceive the
outer manifestation, the concretization, of their inner self, is to
know that
they differ from one another not only on a gender basis, but in terms
of their
builds and heights, which, genetically speaking, are a rough guide to
their
prevailing class, be it phenomenal, and lower, or noumenal,
and
upper.
12. Thus we can distinguish 'the tall' from 'the
short', with those in the noumenal
categories (of
space and time) generally tall, and those in the phenomenal categories
(of
volume and mass) generally short, whether or not we then proceed to
differentiate 'the thick' from 'the thin' in each category, as between
fire and
air 'up above', and water and vegetation 'down below'.
13. Certainly build owes not a little to genetic
factors, which can be traced back to the transpersonal self, or central
nervous
system, and it would indeed be strange if ruling types, governing
types,
representing types, and leading types, to take a politically-biased
paradigm,
differed not at all in their physiological profiles.
14. For it generally transpires that the most
suitable height and build for a ruling disposition is tall and thick,
or
muscular, whereas the most suitable height and build for a leading
disposition,
at the other extreme of the noumenal
spectrum, will
more usually be tall and thin, i.e. gangular
(of
ganglia and/or gangly).
15. Likewise it generally transpires that the most
suitable height and build for a governing disposition is short and
thick, i.e.
glandular, whereas the most suitable height and build for a
representing
disposition, at the other extreme of the phenomenal spectrum, will more
usually
be short and thin, i.e. vascular.
16. Whatever the exact case, people differ just as
much in their emotional experiences as in their physiologies, and while
some
will be especially capable of and disposed to the emotional per
se
of joy in relation to a metaphysical disposition, others will be
further
removed from airy soul in what amount to pleasurable, proud, and loving
'bovaryizations' of soul in relation to
physical, chemical,
and metachemical dispositions
respectively, so that
one might be forgiven for describing their prevailing emotional
experiences as
second-, third-, and fourth-rate, as the case may be, compared to
and/or
contrasted with what is, by any logical reckoning, the first-rate
emotional
experience of joy in the soul-of-souls.
17. For the soul is only in its per
se
manifestation in association with the noumenal
element of air, not in association with the phenomenal element of earth
(vegetation), the phenomenal element of water, or the noumenal
element of fire, which are respectively egocentric, spiritual, and
instinctual
elements in which soul is accordingly 'bovaryized',
or
exemplified,
in
other
words, on terms which fall short, in
retrogressive
degrees, of its per se manifestation in joy.
18. Thus the self which is into the heart will be
at the furthest possible remove from joyful sensibility in the loving
sensibility
which tends to characterize the emotional experience of a metachemical
disposition, a disposition in which only a fourth-rate order of soul
can exist.
19. For the heart is a metachemical
type of not-self that tends to exemplify a first-rate, or expressive,
order of
power, affiliated to which will be found a second-rate, or fiery, order
of
glory, a third-rate, or repetitive, order of form, and a fourth-rate,
or
photonic, order of contentment - the contentment, as has been argued,
of
emotional love.
20. Emotional love correlates with fundamentalism,
whether in scientific, political, economic, or religious terms, and it
tends to
be the case that societies rooted in fundamentalism identify the soul
with
love, and hence the heart, to the detriment if not exclusion of pride,
pleasure, and, most especially, joy.
A
BROTHERHOOD
OF
MAN
1. Christ not only taught his disciples
that the
'Kingdom of Heaven' lay within, but that it would only come to pass
when there
was a 'brotherhood of man' on earth, and that to achieve such a
'brotherhood'
one would have to follow him, thereby abandoning mothers, sisters,
wives,
girlfriends, etc. in loyalty to the Cross.
2. Thus the concept of a 'brotherhood of
man'
conveys a deeply Christian notion, insofar as one imagines men
existing, in
Christ-like vein, independently of women, not as their husbands or
boyfriends
or lovers or toadies or dupes or whatever, but as men who have opted,
disdaining the heathenistic norms of
female dominion,
to reject the world ... of heterosexual relationships ... in the
interests of
their souls or, at any rate, the salvation of the self from the
domination of
the not-self and selflessness, such that would otherwise be the
prevailing
norm.
3. For women, with their more objective
central
nervous systems, are not, like men, creatures in whom the self comes
first but,
on the contrary, creatures who are primarily disposed to the not-self
and to
selflessness, and only secondarily disposed to the self, whether in
terms of
ego or of soul.
4. Thus any compromise by men with women
invariably leads to a situation, necessarily Heathen, in which the self
is
confronted, at every turn, by the domination of the not-self and
selflessness,
if not directly, as in the case of women themselves, then at any rate
indirectly, via association with them.
5. Therefore the self cannot be saved from
such
a domination unless one opts to live independently of women in
Christ-like
vein, which is the way of the Cross and path to the 'Kingdom of
Heaven', viz.
the saved soul.
6. Thus not only is a 'brotherhood of man'
(or
of men) a precondition of salvation, but one cannot even envisage the
'Kingdom
of Heaven' except
in relation to such a 'brotherhood', that is
to say, to men who have opted to 'turn their back' on that which
divides them
from one another - namely women.
7. For so long as they continue to enter
into
sexual relations with women, they will not only be vulnerable to the
domination
of the self by the not-self and selflessness, of form by power and
glory, but
will be divided from one another by women, who thereby preclude the
possibility
of a 'brotherhood of man' from coming to pass.
8. Thus the '
9. One could
substitute
Superman, Supercross, Superchristian,
and
Superchurch for all the Christian
references made
above, but that would simply be to take a phenomenal premise to its noumenal conclusion, and thereby improve upon
the Christian
tradition.
10. For the Christian tradition is one thing in
theory but quite another in practice, and few if any churches inspire
confidence in the notion that a 'brotherhood of man' is close at hand,
not
least of all on account of their manifest refusal to entertain gender
segregation.
11. For churches are,
after all, institutional frameworks in which people congregate together
to
worship Christ, and it is evident, to judge by the composition of their
congregations, that women are as entitled to congregate in them as men,
thereby
precluding the possibility of a 'brotherhood of man'.
12. In fact, considerations as to the composition
of church congregations return us, once again, to that metaphorical
analogue
wherein the indiscriminate mixing of feminine and masculine, of water
and
earth, creates mud, and mud it is in which these so-called Christians
'bog
down', to the detriment of their souls or, at any rate, to the
disadvantage of
men, who are thereby precluded from attaining to that firmer earth upon
which
the authentic Cross stands as a symbol of worldly rejection and
Christ-like
resolve, the resolve of men to depart the company of women and aspire
to living
in the Saviour's footsteps.
13. Unfortunately, while it may symbolize
Christian salvation, the Cross does little to inspire confidence in the
metaphysical salvation, to which I alluded some pages ago, because it
is phenomenal,
and if one rejects the bodily, or phallic, mode of earthiness, as
illustrated
by the Crucifixion, it is only in order to affirm, via the word of
Christ, its
cerebral mode, the 'reborn' earthiness, so to speak, of vegetative
sensibility.
14. Thus the Cross always stands as a symbol for
the substitution of one mode of earthly phenomenality
for another, the sensible for the sensual, which is nothing more than
the
salvation of man conceived in masculine, or phenomenal, terms ... from
the
phallus to the brain within the necessarily restricted parameters of
mass-volume evolution.
15. In fact, compared to time-space evolution, the
noumenal axis of metaphysics in which there
is the
possibility of salvation from the aural sensuality of the ears to the
respiratory
sensibility of the lungs, this phenomenal salvation of Christianity
within
mass-volume evolution, exemplified by the written-off body on the
Cross, is
merely lower class, since obtaining within the phenomenal planes of
mass and
volume, specifically with reference to their masculine, or vegetative,
manifestations.
16. Thus the Cross does nothing for the man
capable, in his noumenal bias, of both
achieving and
proclaiming metaphysical salvation, and has accordingly always failed
to
inspire or appeal to such a man, necessarily upper class and supermasculine, in consequence.
17. Rather has he been obliged to admit to himself
of the lower-class nature of Christianity which, because it is
incapable of
rising above earthly sensibility, has always fallen short of heavenly
sensibility (though not, be it said again, of heavenly sensuality), and
hence
of that which is more genuinely religious.
18. It may have been that in the far-off days of
authoritarian monarchy, Christianity was correspondingly less lower
class than
it has subsequently become, but it would still have been far from
genuinely
upper class in its adherence to that perennial symbol of Christianity,
the
Cross.
19. In fact, such enhanced affiliations with time
and space as Christianity would then have had ... could only have made
it more
biased towards the Father than the Holy Spirit, in view of the
autocratic
pressures, including authoritarian monarchy, that would have been
brought to
bear on it, whether for better (the Father) or for worse (Jehovah).
20. For autocratic pressures are not commensurate
with or identical to theocracy, since owing more to space-time
devolution than
to time-space evolution, and thus they would have engendered or
necessitated
constant interchanges between the Father and Christ of the New
Testament, and
Jehovah and Satan of the Old Testament, as Church was reconciled to
Kingdom,
and Kingdom to Church.
21. Be that as it may, the development of
authoritarian accountability, leading up to and following the
Reformation,
undoubtedly paved the way for representative government and, as a
corollary of
this, the further lowering of Christianity to the more familiar
parameters,
from a modernist standpoint, of volume and mass, whether as volume-mass
devolution (Protestantism) or as mass-volume evolution (Catholicism),
and has
thus brought the Church firmly down to water and/or earth (though also
to both
water and
earth) on a bedrock owing less to the Father and the Holy Spirit
than to the Mother and the Son of Marianism
and Christism.
22. Thus the Church became even more accountable
to lower-class wishes and limitations than before, when such things
were still
hindered, if not stifled, by upper-class control of society, and it
inevitably
followed that lower-class politics would emerge from under the reformed
Church
in the guise of democracy, to replace the autocratic politics of
authoritarian
tradition.
23. Thus democracy arose as an expression or
manifestation of lower-class politics in the Western world, with a
secular
extrapolation from the 'equality of all souls' of ecclesiastical
precedent
which took the form of the equality of all men (and subsequently
women),
regardless of their background, perceived class, genetic disposition,
heights
and/or builds, etc.
24. And just as the reformed Church had 'bogged
down' in the ecclesiastical mud of volume and mass, so the democratic
State
would 'bog down' in the secular mud of volume and mass, with due
pluralistic
relativity between water and earth, whether as water and earth or as a
muddy
(and centrist) combination of each.
25. And that is where the Western world still
finds itself after several decades, and even centuries in some
countries, of
lower-class politics, of politics that, though it may have put a stop
to the
autocratic excesses of authoritarianism, did as little to further the
cause of
a 'brotherhood of man' as the Church, and all because the 'liberty,
equality,
and fraternity' to which it generally subscribed, whether informally or
formally, inevitably played into the hands of women, and duly gave them
political encouragement to 'turn the tables' on men through Feminism.
26. Thus the same equalitarian delusion that
tripped up the Church, and upon which it subsequently foundered, has
since
proved to the detriment of the State, insofar as the latter's secular
delusions
have paved the way, in virtually every Western country, for the
dominance of
Feminism under cover of 'political correctness'.
27. For people are not
equal, neither class-wise nor gender-wise, and even when you treat them
as
though they were, the inequalities still persist and condition society
accordingly.
28. Thus men end-up being dominated by women both
on phenomenal and noumenal planes, since
the genders are
not equal but as distinct as subjectivity and objectivity.
29. In such a heathenistic
situation, the actuality of all 'free societies', the prospect of a
'brotherhood of man' is further removed than ever before, because men
find
themselves divided between themselves and dominated by a 'sisterhood of
woman'.
30. This 'sisterhood of woman' is presided over by
Feminism, and Feminism it is that, whether in the phenomenal guise of
'Britannia' or in the noumenal guise of
'the Liberty
Belle', ensures that the interests of women or, at any rate, females
take
precedence over those of men, irrespective of any pretence at equality.
THE
BROTHERHOOD
OF
SUPERMEN
1. Unlike Christ - but not as a heathenistic Antichrist - I teach a 'brotherhood
of
supermen', for I believe that such a 'brotherhood' can be brought
about, and
that it is the only basis upon which the 'Kingdom of Heaven' can truly
come to
pass.
2. Yet a 'brotherhood of supermen' would
not
exclude the possibility of a 'brotherhood of men' for those males who
were not
'up to' a properly metaphysical sensibility, nor, for that matter,
would it
exclude the possibility of a sort of 'sisterhood of women' for those
females
whose rightful gender entitlement, in 'Kingdom Come', was more chemical
than
either physical or metaphysical.
3. In fact, such a 'brotherhood of
supermen'
would only be possible in relation to what, in previous texts, I have
called a
triadic Beyond, the triadic Beyond, more specifically, of the Centre in
the 'Kingdom
Come' of a Gaelic federation (prospectively) of Ireland, Scotland, and
Wales,
wherein the Gaels would be united under what has been termed religious
sovereignty.
4. For only in such a triadic Beyond would
it be
possible to have a 'brotherhood of supermen', and thus do proper
justice to
metaphysical sensibility in what would amount to the top tier of the
Centre, a
tier dedicated, despite subdivisions characteristic of all tiers of the
triadic
Beyond, to transcendental meditation, wherein the soul would experience
that
inner joy which is its ultimate fulfilment.
5. But the triadic
Beyond
presupposes Social Transcendentalism, and thus an end to Christianity,
whether
Catholic or Protestant, sensible or sensual.
Yet Social Transcendentalism is only possible on the basis that
the
People, as electorate, are granted the opportunity to vote for
religious
sovereignty, the ultimate sovereignty, so far as I am concerned, and
thus elect
to abandon what I have elsewhere called 'sins and/or punishments of the
world'
for salvation from it to the Other World of 'Kingdom Come' in which,
under
Social Transcendental Centrism, the triadic Beyond would have its
institutional
place.
6. For unless the People do
vote for
religious sovereignty, they will continue to be the playthings and
victims of
secular sovereignties which bind them to the world and prevent not only
the
possibility of a 'brotherhood of men' coupled, down below, to a
'sisterhood of
women', but, more importantly, the possibility of a 'brotherhood of
supermen',
such that would encourage the best and highest elements of the People
to
cultivate metaphysical salvation on the basis of respiratory
sensibility, and
thus achieve the ultimate 'kingdom within', a 'kingdom' of Superchristian
deliverance from both Subchristian
sensuality and
Christian sensibility alike.
7. For only in respiratory sensibility does
religion achieve metaphysical resolution, the resolution of salvation
from
aural sensuality, and the maximization, in consequence, of soulful, or psychocentric, fulfilment.
8. Cerebral sensibility, on the other hand,
only
maximizes egocentric fulfilment, thereby keeping men pegged down, in
phenomenal
vein, to the sinful fulcrum of perfect form, wherein contentment,
manifesting
in sensible pleasure, is decidedly second-rate and no more, in
consequence,
than a 'bovaryization' of soul, the soul
not of
superman but of man, not of (spaced) space but of (voluminous) volume.
9. Better than the first-rate form of
sensible
knowledge is the first-rate contentment of sensible joy, the
contentment of the
soul per
se, which is only possible on the basis of a second-rate
order of form - namely, the graceful form of metaphysical truth.
10. For metaphysical truth it is that paves the
way for metaphysical joy, and such truth must be in harmony with the
impressive
power of God and the Holy Spirit of Heaven, if the egocentric self is
to plunge
into the somatic not-self of the lungs and be borne on the wings of
selfless
out-breath towards its psycho-eccentric transmutation in superconscious
mind, before opting, in a split second, to psychoconcentrically
rebound to its psychocentric core in the
soul of
subconscious mind, whose being, being essential, is joy.
11. Only in metaphysical truth can the egocentric
self enter into direct relations with the impressive power of
God-as-Lungs and
the Holy Spirit of Heaven-as-(Out)Breath,
thereby
achieving psychocentric transmutation for
itself on
both a spiritual and, more importantly, an emotional basis.
12. For the soul is the ultimate redemption of the
ego, as the profane is superseded by the sacred, and one achieves
joyful
enlightenment in the most blessed contentment known to man, the
contentment,
more specifically, of the superman, who is or would be as Superchristian
as man is Christian and, hence, a phenomenal shortfall from noumenal
salvation.
13. That which embraces physical knowledge in a
phenomenal shortfall from metaphysical truth ... does not lead to joy
but
entails, almost as an emotional aside to itself, the acquirement of
pleasure,
which is only made possible via the unholy spirit of the earth, the
spirit that
issues from the phenomenal not-self of the brain, as its thought.
14. For thought is to the brain what breath is to
the lungs, only it is an unholy spirit by dint of its vegetative
associations
in connection with cerebral sensibility, the sensibility of 'reborn'
man as
opposed to the sensibility of superman, who is the 'reborn' noumenal
man, the higher man, who towers above the sensible earth and the
meaning
thereof as sensible joy above sensible pleasure, or as sensible truth
above
sensible knowledge.
15. Even the subman,
the
'once-born' noumenal man of aural
sensuality, towers
above the earth, albeit the sensual earth and the meaning thereof ...
as
sensual joy above sensual pleasure or as sensual truth above sensual
knowledge,
the carnal knowledge that owes as much to the phallus as sensual truth
owes to
the ears which the subman utilizes for
purposes of
listening, via the holy spirit of the airwaves, to music, and so on.
16. But the superman is the salvation of the subman, the beneficiary of that sensible order
of wisdom
that owes more to the breath than to the airwaves, and which delivers
to the
soul its deepest joy, the joy-of-joys in the soul-of-souls. Verily, a 'brotherhood of supermen' would be
the best and highest 'brotherhood' one could ever hope to be part of,
and it
would exist on the top tier of the triadic Beyond within the
truth-oriented
framework of 'Kingdom Come'.
PROFANE
AND
SACRED
1. Ordinarily the egocentric self is
profane in
its dealings with or orientations towards the not-selves which
constitute
organic manifestations of will, whether in terms of metachemistry,
chemistry, physics, or metaphysics - fire, water, vegetation (earth),
or air.
2. But the egocentric self can be redeemed
in
the sacredness of its psychocentric
transmutation, as
and when the soul ensues upon the ego via the mind, and one is
conscious of
experiencing one's self emotionally, in and for itself.
3. Thus unlike the profane, or egocentric,
aspect of the self, its sacred, or psychocentric,
aspect
is
purely
of
the self, being the profoundest manifestation of selfhood
it is possible to experience.
4. Now, of course, it cannot be maintained
with
any conviction that the self is always torn between one kind and degree
of
profanity and a corresponding kind and degree of sanctity, as between
one kind
and degree of ego or soul.
5. Not only do variations of one kind and
degree
of profanity and sanctity occur within any given individual, but people
differ
as to the kind and degree of self to which they primarily or generally
relate,
as much on a gender basis as on a genetic (class) one.
6. Thus we can differentiate the most
profane
egocentricity of the metachemical self
from the least
profane egocentricity of the metaphysical self, and further
differentiate each
of these noumenal extremes from the
intermediate
positions of what, in their phenomenality,
can be
called the more (relative to most) profane egocentricity of the
chemical self
and the less (relative to least) profane egocentricity of the physical
self.
7. Hence egocentricity offers us, in both
sensuality and sensibility, 'once-born' and 'reborn' contexts, a
descending
scale of profanity ... from the most profane ego of metachemical
selfhood to the least profane ego of metaphysical selfhood via the more
(relative to most) profane ego of chemical selfhood and the less
(relative to
least) profane ego of physical selfhood.
8. Likewise, if conversely, we can
differentiate
the least sacred psychocentricity of the metachemical self from the most sacred psychocentricity
of the metaphysical self, and further differentiate each of these noumenal extremes from the intermediate
positions of what,
in their phenomenality, can be called the
less
(relative to least) sacred psychocentricity
of the
chemical self and the more (relative to most) sacred psychocentricity
of the physical self.
9. Hence psychocentricity
offers us, in both sensuality and sensibility, 'once-born' and 'reborn'
contexts, an ascending scale of sanctity from the least sacred soul of metachemical selfhood to the most sacred soul of
metaphysical selfhood via the less (relative to least) sacred soul of
chemical
selfhood and the more (relative to most) sacred soul of physical
selfhood.
10. Whereas profanity descends from beauty to
truth via strength and knowledge as we pass, in form, from fire to air
via
water and vegetation, sanctity ascends from love to joy via pride and
pleasure
as we pass, in contentment, from fire to air via water and vegetation.
11. Either way, beauty is redeemed by love,
strength is redeemed by pride, knowledge is redeemed by pleasure, and
truth is
redeemed by joy - the contented proof, so to speak, of a formal pudding.
12. In each case, the redemption is of the profane
self, or ego, in the sacred self, or soul, as of form in contentment,
and thus
of psychology in psyche.
13. Contrary to what may be termed the primary
manifestations of profanity and sanctity in relation to the self, both
egocentric and psychocentric, come what I
shall call
the secondary manifestations of profanity and sanctity in relation to
the
not-self and selflessness, to somatic will and, for want of a better
term, psychesomatic spirit, whether the
will and spirit be metachemical, chemical,
physical, or metaphysical.
14. As with the 'primary' orders of profanity and
sanctity, these 'secondary' orders, owing more to power and glory than
to form
and content(ment),
can
be
graded
from
the most profane to the least profane via intermediate
levels of
profanity, and from the least sacred to the most sacred via
intermediate levels
of sanctity.
15. Hence we can differentiate the most profane
will of the metachemical not-self from the
least
profane will of the metaphysical not-self, and further differentiate
each of
these noumenal extremes from the
intermediate
positions of what, in their phenomenality,
can be
called the more (relative to most) profane will of the chemical
not-self and
the less (relative to least) profane will of the physical not-self.
16. Thus willpower offers us, in organs of both
sensuality and sensibility, 'once-born' and 'reborn' contexts, a
descending
scale of secondary profanity ... from the most profane will of metachemical not-selfhood to the least profane
will of
metaphysical not-selfhood via the more (relative to most) profane will
of
chemical not-selfhood and the less (relative to least) profane will of
physical
not-selfhood.
17. Likewise, if conversely, we can differentiate
the least sacred spirituality of metachemical
selflessness from the most sacred spirituality of metaphysical
selflessness,
and further differentiate each of these noumenal
extremes from the intermediate positions of what, in their phenomenality,
can be called the less (relative to least) sacred spirituality of
chemical
selflessness and the more (relative to most) sacred spirituality of
physical
selflessness.
18. Hence spirituality offers us, in psychesomatic emanations of both sensuality and
sensibility, 'once-born' and 'reborn' contexts, an ascending scale of
'secondary' sanctity ... from the least sacred spirit of metachemical
selflessness to the most sacred spirit of metaphysical selflessness via
the
less (relative to least) sacred spirit of chemical selflessness and the
more
(relative to most) sacred spirit of physical selflessness.
19. Whereas secondary profanity descends from the
Devil to God via woman and man as we pass, in power, from fire to air
via water
and vegetation (earth), secondary sanctity ascends from Hell to Heaven
via
purgatory and the earth as we pass, in glory, from fire to air via
water and
vegetation.
20. To descend, in secondary profanity, from the
diabolic power (expressive) of noumenal
objectivity
to the divine power (impressive) of noumenal
subjectivity
via the feminine power (compressive) of phenomenal objectivity and the
masculine power (depressive) of phenomenal subjectivity, as from the
eyes
and/or heart to the ears and/or lungs via the tongue and/or womb and
the
phallus and/or brain.
21. To ascend, in secondary sanctity, from the
unclear glory (fiery) of metachemical
selectivity to
the holy glory (airy) of metaphysical electivity via the clear glory
(watery)
of chemical deflectivity and the unholy
glory
(earthy) of physical reflectivity, as from sight-light and/or blood to
the
airwaves and/or breath via saliva and/or amniotic fluid and sperm
and/or
thought.
22. Corresponding to what have been called
'secondary' and 'primary' orders of profanity and sanctity, the profane
has
reference to the not-self and to the self in its egocentric mode,
whereas the
sacred has reference to the selfless and to the self in its psychocentric
mode.
23. Sanctity is always a redemption of that which
is profane, the will being eclipsed by the spirit in the secondary
contexts of
the not-self and selflessness, but the ego being eclipsed by the soul
in the
primary contexts of the self, wherein sanctity attains to its
apotheosis.
24. Of all modes of sanctity ... from the metachemical and chemical to the physical and
metaphysical
... there is none more sacred than the joyful being that accrues to the
soul in
its metaphysical mode; for this is the being of essence, the
being-of-beings,
or supreme being, of the profoundest self.
FROM
APPEARANCE
TO
ESSENCE
1. Whereas the being of metachemistry is apparent, the being of
metaphysics is
essential, the being of chemistry quantitative, and the being of
physics
qualitative.
2. Thus we can distinguish love from joy on
the noumenal planes of space and time, but
pride from pleasure
on the phenomenal planes of volume and mass.
3. Love is the apparent manifestation of
being,
pride the quantitative manifestation of being, pleasure the qualitative
manifestation of being, and joy the essential manifestation of being,
the being-of-beings
and soul-of-souls.
4. To ascend from the fourth-rate being
(apparent) of love to the first-rate being (essential) of joy via the
third-rate being (quantitative) of pride and the second-rate being
(qualitative) of pleasure.
5. Whereas the doing of metachemistry is apparent, the doing of
metaphysics is
essential, the doing of chemistry quantitative, and the doing of
physics
qualitative.
6. Thus we can distinguish
expression from impression on the noumenal
planes of
space and time, but compression from depression on the phenomenal
planes of
volume and mass.
7. Expression is the apparent manifestation
of
doing, the doing-of-doings and will-of-wills; compression is the
quantitative
manifestation of doing, depression the qualitative manifestation of
doing, and
impression the essential manifestation of doing.
8. To descend from the first-rate doing
(apparent) of expression to the fourth-rate doing (essential) of
impression via
the second-rate doing (quantitative) of compression and the third-rate
doing
(qualitative) of depression.
9. Whereas the taking of metachemistry is apparent, the taking of
metaphysics is
essential, the taking of chemistry quantitative, and the taking of
physics
qualitative.
10. Thus we can distinguish
beauty from truth on the noumenal planes
of space and
time, but strength from knowledge on the phenomenal planes of volume
and mass.
11. Beauty is the apparent
manifestation of taking, strength the quantitative manifestation of
taking,
knowledge the qualitative manifestation of taking, the
taking-of-takings and
ego-of-egos; and truth the essential manifestation of taking.
12. To ascend from the fourth-rate taking
(quantitative) of strength to the first-rate taking (qualitative) of
knowledge via
the third-rate taking (apparent) of beauty and the second-rate taking
(essential) of truth.
13. Whereas the giving of metachemistry
is apparent, the giving of metaphysics is
essential, the giving of chemistry quantitative, and the giving of
physics qualitative.
14. Thus we can distinguish
unclearness from holiness on the noumenal
planes of
space and time, but clearness from unholiness
on the
phenomenal planes of volume and mass.
15. Unclearness is the apparent manifestation of
giving, clearness the quantitative manifestation of giving, the
giving-of-givings and spirit-of-spirits; unholiness
is the qualitative manifestation of giving, and holiness the essential
manifestation of giving.
16. To descend from the first-rate giving
(quantitative) of clearness to the fourth-rate giving (qualitative) of unholiness via the second-rate giving (apparent)
of
unclearness and the third-rate giving (essential) of holiness.
17. Hence metachemistry
affords us evidence of an elemental context (fiery) in which, due to
its
apparent bias, doing is first-rate, giving second-rate, taking
third-rate, and
being fourth-rate, as regards expression, unclearness, beauty, and love.
18. Hence chemistry affords us evidence of an
elemental context (watery) in which, due to its quantitative bias,
giving is
first-rate, doing second-rate, being third-rate, and taking
fourth-rate, as
regards clearness, compression, pride, and strength.
19. Hence physics affords us evidence of an
elemental context (earthy) in which, due to its qualitative bias,
taking is
first-rate, being second-rate, doing third-rate, and giving
fourth-rate, as
regards knowledge, pleasure, depression, and unholiness.
20. Hence metaphysics affords us evidence of an
elemental context (airy) in which, due to its essential bias, being is
first-rate, taking second-rate, giving third-rate, and doing
fourth-rate, as
regards joy, truth, holiness, and impression.
21. In metachemistry
the
will is in its per
se, or apparent, mode and
everything else, viz. spirit, ego, and soul, is 'bovaryized',
whereas
in
chemistry
the
spirit is in its per se, or quantitative, mode
and everything else, viz. will, soul, and ego, is 'bovaryized'.
22. In physics the ego is in its per
se,
or qualitative, mode and everything else, viz. soul, will, and spirit,
is 'bovaryized', whereas in metaphysics the
soul is in its per
se, or essential, mode and everything else, viz. ego, spirit, and
will, is 'bovaryized'.
23. Metachemistry
signifies the rule of power over glory, form and contentment, whereas
chemistry
signifies the governance of power, contentment, and form by glory.
24. Physics signifies the
representation of contentment, power, and glory to form, whereas
metaphysics
signifies the lead of form, glory, and power by contentment.
25. The appearances of metachemistry
contrast with the essences of metaphysics, as fire with air, while the
quantities of chemistry contrast with the qualities of physics, as
water with
vegetation.
26. Metachemistry,
being
apparent, is the context par
excellence of science, in which science
is in its per se mode, while
politics,
economics, and religion are accordingly scientific.
27. Chemistry, being quantitative, is the context par
excellence of politics, in which politics is in its
per se mode, while science, religion, and economics are
accordingly
political.
28. Physics, being qualitative, is the context par
excellence of economics, in which economics is in its
per se mode, while religion, science, and politics are
accordingly
economic.
29. Metaphysics, being essential, is the context par
excellence of religion, in which religion is in its
per se mode, while economics, politics, and science are
accordingly
religious.
30. The power of
science
contrasts absolutely, in noumenal terms,
with the
contentment of religion, while the glory of politics contrasts
relatively, in
phenomenal terms, with the form of economics.
LIFE
AFTER
DEATH
1. The 'life' after death is the life of
the
self as central nervous system brought 'face to face' with itself as
soul.
2. For when the self, considered
physiologically, has nothing further to do in relation to the
not-selves and/or
complementary manifestations of selflessness to which, in psychological
mode,
it is ordinarily committed, it can only turn inwards, as to what is
most germane
to itself.
3. Thus when there is no need of or cause
for
the ego to concern itself with the functioning of bodily organs and
their psychesomatic extrapolations, the
ego ceases to exist, and
one is left with the self in and of itself, not so much impulsively,
through
instinctual physiology, as soulfully, through emotional psyche.
4. For the soul is as far removed from the
id,
the self as impulsive physiology, as it is possible to be, and thus is
that
which is omega-most in the self, the centre or core of the self
conceived psychocentrically.
5. Ordinarily one only achieves an
accommodation
with the soul, with emotional psychocentricity,
on
an
intermittent
and
therefore imperfect basis, since the central nervous
system is
primarily concerned with the body and its various organs, as already
noted.
6. In death, however, the accommodation
with the
soul is permanent and therefore perfect, insofar as there are no longer
any
bodily distractions for the self to concern itself with either
impulsively,
through the self as id, or consciously, through the self as ego.
7. Thus there is a sense in which death
brings
one 'face to face' with the self-as-soul to such an extent that it is
feasible
to equate this permanent condition with a sort of Eternity, even though
the
actual condition of self-absorption only lasts for a specific duration
...
commensurate with the absence of extensive and/or intensive
decomposition of
one's corpse.
8. For extensive
and/or
intensive decomposition would ultimately effect the central nervous
system no
less than the bodily organs in general, thereby eroding such
self-absorption as
death had made possible.
9. Therefore the 'life-in-death' of the
grave is
not eternal in the sense of lasting for ever, beyond the decay of the
corpse,
but is perfect only in the somewhat narrower sense of being a permanent
condition rather than an intermittent one.
10. Yet even in death there would surely be a
gender-based distinction between how the central nervous system is
experienced
by female corpses and how it is experienced by male corpses, with due
objective
vis-à-vis subjective implications respectively.
11. Even genetic factors have to be taken into
account with death, since it is unlikely that people normally
accustomed to metachemical and/or chemical
manifestations of the soul in
life would experience the self in exactly the same way as those for
whom
physical and/or metaphysical manifestations of soul were or had been
the
habitual norm.
12. I fancy that as one had lived in life, so one
would 'live again' in death, with positive distinctions, where
applicable,
between a loving relationship to self (noumenal),
a
proud
relationship
to
self (phenomenal), a pleasurable relationship to
self
(phenomenal), and a joyful relationship to self (noumenal).
13. Hence when both gender and genetics have been
taken into account, it would seem that the Afterlife is no more
reflective of
an 'equality of all souls' than life itself, insofar as there are
different
types of central nervous system with correspondingly different kinds of
emotional experience as a prevailing norm.
14. Yet even those kinds of emotional experience
which are less than holy, whether because they were earthy or
purgatorial or
hellish, would be of an altogether purer and finer order in the grave
than ever
they had been in life, when the soul had to contend with competition
from the
ego and the ego, in turn, had to contend with competition from the id,
which is
the self's impulsive approach to bodily management.
15. In fact, I happen to believe that, although
both the id and the ego play a part in managing the body, females are
more
disposed to id-based impulsiveness than males, and accordingly tend to
rely on
the id to manipulate bodily organs to a greater extent than their male
counterparts,
who prefer, as a rule, the gentler or more indirect path of ...
psychological
manipulation through egocentric consciousness.
16. Although I have no doubt that females
sometimes use the ego and males the id, I incline to the view that
females
prefer, when possible, the direct path of manipulation in which nervous
physiology is instinctively applied to somatic physiology, with greater
emphasis, as a rule, on the objective organs of sensuality and
sensibility than
on their subjective counterparts.
17. For it is the objective organs which, being
female, are more attuned to impulsive manipulation by the id, the
physiological
instinct of the central nervous system, than their subjective
counterparts, and
therefore it is feasible for females to by-pass the ego - much less
subjective
as theirs happens to be anyway - in order to maximize the effectiveness
with
which they are able to manipulate the, in particular, objective organs
of
sensuality and sensibility to their powerful and/or glorious advantage.
18. However, even if males are more disposed to
consciously rather than impulsively manipulate the various not-selves
to which
they relate, and all because that which, being subjective and male,
tends to
work better when consciously manipulated or to require conscious
manipulation,
as the case may be, they still find themselves in a position whereby
the very
fact of having to manipulate bodily organs detracts from the calibre of
mind
and/or soul to which, in superconscious
and
subconscious terms, all egocentricity ultimately leads, and leads, be
it
remembered, on an intermittent, as opposed to a permanent, basis.
19. More consciously rational and correspondingly
less unconsciously instinctual than females they may be, but even males
do not
obtain in life the sort of soulful purity which only death can bring to
light,
and therefore it must be said that, so far as the life of the soul is
concerned, it is death which grants to the self its maximum
self-realization.
20. All life can do, on the other hand, is enable
one, within certain predetermined gender and/or genetic boundaries, to
cultivate one kind of soul rather than another, and thereby condition
oneself,
in advance, for the type of afterlife experience which most corresponds
to that
particular kind of soul, be it metachemical,
chemical,
physical,
or
metaphysical. For
as one had lived in life, so shall one live again in death, albeit on a
purer
and more permanent (eternal) basis.
'GIVING
UP
THE
GHOST'
1. The cessation of cardiac functioning at
death
causes the lungs to stop breathing, and in breathing one's last breath
it could
be said that one had 'given up the ghost'.
2. But this 'ghost', one's last breath, is
commensurate with the spirit or, more specifically, with the Holy
Spirit of
Heaven, which is spirit that is affiliated to the air, whether
externally, as
airwaves, or internally, as breath.
3. Hence, at death, one ceases to breathe,
and
the breath, or holy order of spirit, returns to the air, the
surrounding
atmosphere, wherein it is duly absorbed and dissipated.
4. But this 'giving up the ghost' is not
commensurate with the soul, since the self is still intact, but only
with the
departure of metaphysical selflessness, that third-rate order of spirit
which
has been identified with the breath.
5. Thus although the Holy Spirit ... has
departed, the soul remains or, more correctly, the self remains in
situ
as central nervous system, albeit without three of its principal
ingredients,
viz. the physiological id, the psychological ego and (in relation to
the
breath) the psycho-eccentric mind, the quantified self of superconsciousness.
6. In short, death takes away the necessity
of
both unconscious and conscious/superconscious
manipulation of bodily organs, and without either an id or an ego/mind
... the
self is reduced to that which is most germane to itself, viz. the soul.
7. Thus one comes, at death, 'face to face'
with
the core of the self, since there is no longer, to all intents and
purposes, an
id, an ego, or a mind in existence vis-à-vis the somatic not-selves and
their psychesomatic complements in the
various manifestations of
spirit.
8. Now this accommodation with the core of
the
self may well seem like an inner light, since the central nervous
system is
composed of a myriad nerve fibres which, as the centre of nervous
impulses,
would be likely to incandesce as they coalesced in the process of
withdrawing
from bodily concerns.
9. But this inner light would not be
something
taking place in the brain, which is simply one of a number of
not-selves, but
within the self, so that as one withdrew from the body into the central
nervous
system, one would become increasingly aware of it precisely because it
was
inseparable from oneself as self.
10. In other words, there would be no distinction
or differentiation between the self and the inner light, because the
inner
light is the self in its most essential mode, the mode of the
soul.
11. But not all souls are the same, any more than
all
central nervous systems are equal, and therefore it is likely that the
inner
light would have a tone or tint peculiar to itself as a particular kind
of
soul, be it metachemical and loving,
chemical and
proud, physical and pleasurable, or metaphysical and joyful.
12. Thus the colour, to put it crudely, of the
inner light, the soul, would differ according to the type of self to
which it
was affiliated, be that self objective and female or subjective and
male,
whether in noumenal or in phenomenal terms.
13. I tend to the view that the metachemical axis of space-time devolution
descends from
silver to red, as from the eyes to the heart, whereas the metaphysical
axis of
time-space evolution ascends from gold (or yellow) to purple, as from
the ears
to the lungs.
14. Likewise I incline to the view that the
chemical axis of volume-mass devolution descends from orange to blue,
as from
the tongue to the womb, whereas the physical axis of mass-volume
evolution
ascends from brown to green, as from the flesh to the brain.
15. I do not, of course, intend to suggest an
exact colour correlation between the aforementioned noumenal
and phenomenal axes and the organs of sensuality and/or sensibility to
which I
have referred, but am simply interested in reaffirming the axial
parallels
which I hold to exist on such a basis.
16. Even on a planar basis, the basis of each
elemental plane considered separately, one could distinguish, within an
objective/subjective antithesis, the alpha and omega of silver and
purple with
regard to space and of orange and green with regard to volume from the
omega
and alpha, within a subjective/objective antithesis, of brown and blue
with
regard to mass and of gold and red with regard to time.
17. However that may be, I do not doubt that the
female central nervous system would be partial, in its objectivity, to
tints of
soul in both sensuality and sensibility which differed from those of
the male
nervous system, so that neither on a gender nor on a genetic basis
would it be
likely that a uniform tint was applicable to all
central
nervous
systems,
irrespective
of
these factors.
18. Thus it could only be that, even with their
negative counterparts excluded from consideration at this point,
different
types of positive afterlife experience would have a corresponding tint
or tone
relevant to the type of central nervous system responsible for them,
and that
no 'equality of souls' could therefore be inferred.
19. In fact, even in positive contexts, some souls
would be in the Hell of metachemical space
or time,
some souls in the purgatory of chemical volume or mass, some souls in
the earth
of physical mass or volume, and some souls in the Heaven of
metaphysical time
or space, depending, in each case, on whether sensuality or sensibility
was
most characteristic of each type of central nervous system.
20. And, in terms of
colour, this does mean that whereas silver or red would characterize metachemical soul and orange or blue its
chemical
counterpart, brown or green would characterize physical soul and gold
or purple
its metaphysical counterpart.
21. Thus the Afterlife would give one
confirmation, if ever one needed it, of the type of soul experience
peculiar to
one's particular type of self, or central nervous system, so that one
would
automatically 'know' whether one was in Heaven, Hell, purgatory, or the
earth.
22. And, knowing such,
one would be experiencing, as soul, a corresponding degree of joy,
love, pride,
or pleasure, as the case may be, though on a more refined basis than
anything
one could have known in life.
23. And be experiencing
it permanently, as a consistent condition, rather than intermittently,
as in
life, until such time as advanced decomposition of the self, as of the
body in
general, put a halt to such 'Eternal Life' by effectively reducing
everything
to 'dust and ashes'.
24. Yet there are those who, fearing that the
negativity of their modernist lifestyles would not conduce toward
anything
overly positive in the grave in any case, would be only too literally
partial
to 'dust and ashes', through recourse to cremation, as if to shorten or
pre-empt the negative experiences of their heathenistic
souls or to prove to themselves that the Afterlife was a Christian
redundancy
and/or superstition anyway, since, so far as they were concerned, loss
of
consciousness was all there is to dying.
25. Such 'modern-all-too-modern' people usually
tend not to believe in an Afterlife anyway, largely because they are
less
positive than negative, less supreme than primal, given, in typically
twentieth-century
fashion, to the worship of the inorganic rather than to the worship of
the
organic.
26. It is as though they were more cosmic or
geologic, depending on their class, than universal or personal, more
creatures
of the various orders of antiself
vis-à-vis not-antiself and antiselflessness, so
to speak, than of self vis-à-vis not-self and selflessness.
27. Where metachemistry
is concerned, space-time devolution is for them more stellar to Venusian in the negativity of inorganic primacy
than eyes
to heart in the positivity of organic
supremacy, and
consequently life is correspondingly more ugliness and hatred than
beauty and
love.
28. Where chemistry is concerned, volume-mass
devolution is for them more lunar to oceanic in the negativity of
inorganic
primacy than tongue to womb in the positivity
of
organic supremacy, and consequently life is correspondingly more
weakness and
humility, if not humiliation, than strength and pride.
29. Where physics is concerned, mass-volume
evolution is for them more terrestrial to Martian in the negativity of
inorganic primacy than phallus to brain in the positivity
of organic supremacy, and consequently life is correspondingly more
ignorance
and pain than knowledge and pleasure.
30. Where metaphysics is concerned, time-space
evolution is for them more solar to Saturnian
in
the negativity of inorganic primacy than ears to lungs in the positivity of organic supremacy, and
consequently life is
correspondingly more falsity and woe than truth and joy.
31. I do not envy these 'modern people', these
anti-religious zealots of science and politics, for they die as they
had lived,
as so much heathenistic trash with
disposable corpses
and disposable souls!
32. But even if time
cannot be reversed, evolution presses on, and one day, I am confident,
supremacy will be back on the agenda, but with a Superchristian
vengeance, a resolve, I mean, to encourage and indefinitely prolong
afterlife
experiences through extensive and/or intensive recourse to advanced
technology.
33. For an Afterlife that didn't cease, like the
Christian 'life in death' of the grave, but continued for ever ... is
only
possible, it seems to me, on the basis of the artificial transmutation
of
mankind in the centuries to come, so that not only are the Heathen and Superheathen 'Afterdeaths',
the
afterdeaths of cryogenic freezing and
of crematorial burning, overhauled and
consigned to the
'rubbish heap of Antichristian history', but the Christian Afterlife is
itself
eclipsed by that which would be truly eternal - the Superchristian
Afterlife of 'Kingdom Come'.
PROFANITY
AND
SANCTITY
REVISITED
1. I distinguished, several cycles ago,
between
the ego as profane and the soul as sacred in relation to the self, and
between
the will as profane and the spirit as sacred in relation to the
not-self and to
selflessness.
2. I also suggested that, in contrast to
the noumenal self, both the noumenal
not-self and noumenal selflessness could
be
identified with God and Heaven on the metaphysical axis of time-space
evolution
or with the Devil and Hell on the metachemical
axis
of space-time devolution.
3. Likewise I suggested that, in contrast
to the
phenomenal self, both the phenomenal not-self and phenomenal
selflessness could
be identified with woman and purgatory on the chemical axis of
volume-mass
devolution or with man and the earth on the physical axis of
mass-volume
evolution.
4. Thus, whatever the elemental axis, the noumenal self was never identified with either
God and
Heaven or the Devil and Hell, any more than the phenomenal self with
woman and
purgatory or man and the earth, but was always considered independently
of what
were conceived to be definitions of will and spirit, power and glory,
in
relation to profanity and sanctity.
5. Since then I
have
had cause to reconsider my position on this issue, and have finally
come to the
conclusion that it was too narrow and partial.
For if profanity and sanctity can be equated with, say, God and
Heaven
in one context, the context of metaphysical power and glory, should it
not be
possible to identify them with God and Heaven in the context of
metaphysical
form and contentment, as germane to the self.
6. Thus if metaphysical will and spirit can
be
identified with God and Heaven, why shouldn't metaphysical ego and soul
likewise be identified with God and Heaven, albeit on a different basis
to will
and spirit.
7. For if will and spirit are secondary but
ego
and soul primary on the subjective axis of metaphysics, then any
definition of
God and Heaven in relation to will and spirit would have to be
secondary
compared to the primary nature of definitions of God and Heaven that
took their
cue from ego and soul, as germane to the noumenal
self.
8. Hence metaphysics would afford one
confirmation of an axis in which God and Heaven were primary in
relation to the
ego and soul of the noumenal self, but
secondary in
relation to the will of the noumenal
not-self and to
the spirit of noumenal selflessness.
9. Hence truth and joy, the profane and
sacred
attributes of metaphysical ego and soul, would accord with a primary
definition
of God and Heaven, whereas impression and holiness, the profane and
sacred
attributes of metaphysical will and spirit, would accord with a
secondary
definition of God and Heaven.
10. For metaphysics is the only elemental context,
in both outer and inner, sensual and sensible terms, which accords with
the
existence of God and Heaven, whether primarily ... in relation to the subdivisible noumenal
self or
secondarily ... in relation to the noumenal
not-self
and its selfless complement of metaphysical spirit.
11. Dropping from metaphysics to physics, which is
also a subjective context due to its vegetative mean, we would likewise
have to
distinguish between a primary concept of man and the earth in relation
to the
ego and soul of the physical self and a secondary concept of man and
the earth
in relation to the will and spirit of the physical not-self and
physical
selflessness.
12. Hence knowledge and pleasure, the profane and
sacred attributes of physical ego and soul, would accord with a primary
definition of man and the earth, whereas depression and unholiness,
the profane and sacred attributes of physical will and spirit, would
accord
with a secondary definition of man and the earth.
13. For physics is the only elemental context, in
both outer and inner, sensual and sensible terms, which accords with
the
existence of man and the earth, whether primarily ... in relation to
the subdivisible phenomenal self or
secondarily ... in relation
to the phenomenal not-self and its selfless complement of physical
spirit.
14. Crossing from physics to chemistry, as from
masculine to feminine, we enter an objective context in which, due to
its
fluidal mean, self is secondary and the not-self and selflessness
primary,
since it is in the scheme of things for the objective self to defer to
the more
objective dispositions of the chemical not-self and chemical
selflessness, and
so we must distinguish, in contrast to male subjectivity, between a
primary
concept of woman and purgatory in relation to the will and spirit of
the
chemical not-self and its selfless complement, and a secondary concept
of woman
and purgatory in relation to the ego and soul of the chemical self.
15. Hence compression and clearness, the profane
and sacred attributes of chemical will and spirit, would accord with a
primary
definition of woman and purgatory, whereas strength and pride, the
profane and
sacred attributes of the chemical ego and soul, would accord with a
secondary
definition of woman and purgatory.
16. For chemistry is the only elemental context,
in both outer and inner, sensual and sensible terms, which accords with
the
existence of woman and purgatory, whether primarily ... in relation to
the
phenomenal not-self and its selfless complement of chemical spirit or
secondarily ... in relation to the subdivisible
phenomenal self.
17. Climbing (backwards and upwards) from
chemistry to metachemistry, which is also
an
objective context due to its fiery mean, one would likewise have to
distinguish
between a primary concept of the Devil and Hell in relation to the will
and
spirit of the metachemical not-self and
selflessness,
and a secondary concept of the Devil and Hell in relation to the ego
and soul
of the metachemical self.
18. Hence expression and unclearness, the profane
and sacred attributes of metachemical will
and
spirit, would accord with a primary definition of the Devil and Hell,
whereas
beauty and love, the profane and sacred attributes of metachemical
ego and soul, would accord with a secondary definition of the Devil and
Hell.
19. For metachemistry
is
the only elemental context, in both outer and inner, sensual and
sensible
terms, which accords with the existence of the Devil and Hell, whether
primarily ... in relation to the noumenal
not-self
and its selfless complement of metachemical
spirit or
secondarily ... in relation to the subdivisible
noumenal self.
20. Thus whether profanity and sanctity are
primary or secondary in the self will depend on the gender orientation
of the
axis to which they pertain, with the objective axes of metachemistry
and chemistry affording one examples of a secondary order of profanity
and
sanctity in the self (as against a primary order of profanity and
sanctity in
the not-self and its selfless complement), but the subjective axes of
physics
and metaphysics affording one examples of a primary order of profanity
and
sanctity in the self (as against a secondary order of profanity and
sanctity in
the not-self and its selfless complement).
VARIOUS
TRINITIES
1. In metaphysics the noumenal
self can be identified with the Son, while the noumenal
not-self and selflessness should be identified with the Father and the
Holy
Spirit respectively.
2. Thus the divisibility of the
metaphysical
self into ego and soul, primary profanity and sanctity, affords one a
contrast
between the Son as primary God and the Son (duly resurrected from ego
to soul)
as primary Heaven, whereas the distinction between the metaphysical
not-self as
will and metaphysical selflessness as spirit, secondary profanity and
sanctity,
affords one a contrast between the Father as secondary God and the Holy
Spirit
as secondary Heaven.
3. Hence, in metaphysics, the Son
corresponds to
a primary God and Heaven, while the Father and the Holy Ghost
correspond to a
secondary God and Heaven, the God of impressive power and the Heaven of
a holy
order of spirit ... as opposed to the God of truthful form and the
Heaven of
joyful contentment.
4. In physics
the phenomenal
self can be identified with the son, while the phenomenal not-self and
selflessness should be identified with the father and the unholy spirit.
5. Thus the divisibility of the physical
self
into ego and soul, primary profanity and sanctity, affords one a
contrast
between the son as primary man and the son (duly resurrected from ego
to soul)
as primary earth, whereas the distinction between the physical not-self
as will
and physical selflessness as spirit, secondary profanity and sanctity,
affords one
a contrast between the father as secondary man and the unholy spirit as
secondary earth.
6. Hence, in physics, the son corresponds
to a
primary man and earth, while the father and the unholy spirit
correspond to a
secondary man and earth, the man of depressive power and the earth of
an unholy
order of spirit ... as opposed to the man of knowledgeable form and the
earth
of pleasurable contentment.
7. In chemistry
the
phenomenal self should be identified with the daughter, while the
phenomenal
not-self and selflessness can be identified with the mother and the
clear
spirit.
8. Thus the divisibility of the chemical
self
into ego and soul, secondary profanity and sanctity, affords one a
contrast
between the daughter as secondary woman and the daughter (duly
resurrected from
ego to soul) as secondary purgatory, whereas the distinction between
the
chemical not-self as will and chemical selflessness as spirit, primary
profanity and sanctity, affords one a contrast between the mother as
primary
woman and the clear spirit as primary purgatory.
9. Hence, in chemistry, the daughter
corresponds
to a secondary woman and purgatory, while the mother and the clear
spirit
correspond to a primary woman and purgatory, the woman of compressive
power and
the purgatory of a clear order of spirit ... as opposed to the woman of
strong
form and the purgatory of proud contentment.
10. In metachemistry the noumenal
self
should be identified with the Daughter, while the noumenal
not-self and selflessness can be identified with the Mother and the
Unclear
Spirit.
11. Thus the divisibility of the metachemical self into ego and soul, secondary
profanity
and sanctity, affords one a contrast between the Daughter as secondary
Devil
and the Daughter (duly resurrected from ego to soul) as secondary Hell,
whereas
the distinction between the metachemical
not-self as
will and metachemical selflessness as
spirit, primary
profanity and sanctity, affords one a contrast between the Mother as
primary
Devil and the Unclear Spirit as primary Hell.
12. Hence, in metachemistry,
the
Daughter
corresponds
to
a secondary Devil and Hell, while the Mother
and
the Unclear Spirit correspond to a primary Devil and Hell, the Devil of
expressive power and the Hell of an unclear order of spirit ... as
opposed to
the Devil of beautiful form and the Hell of loving contentment.
13. From the secondary Devil and Hell of the metachemical self to the primary God and Heaven
of the
metaphysical self via the secondary woman and purgatory of the chemical
self
and the primary man and earth of the physical self, as from beauty and
love to
truth and joy via strength and pride and knowledge and pleasure.
14. From the primary Devil and Hell of the metachemical not-self and selflessness to the
secondary God
and Heaven of the metaphysical not-self and selflessness via the
primary woman
and purgatory of the chemical not-self and selflessness and the
secondary man
and earth of the physical not-self and selflessness, as from expression
and
unclearness to impression and holiness via compression and clearness
and
depression and unholiness.
15. In the objective contexts of metachemistry and chemistry, corresponding on
the female
side of life to fire and water, that which corresponds to power and
glory takes
precedence over whatever corresponds to form and contentment, so that
profanity
and sanctity are primarily conceived of as having their existence
outside the
self.
16. In the subjective contexts of physics and
metaphysics, corresponding on the male side of life to vegetation and
air, that
which corresponds to form and contentment takes precedence over
whatever
corresponds to power and glory, so that profanity and sanctity are
primarily
conceived of as existing inside the self.
17. The Son takes
precedence over both the Father and the Holy Spirit in metaphysics,
whilst, in
physics, the son takes precedence over both the father and the unholy
spirit.
18. Conversely, both the mother and the clear
spirit take precedence over the daughter in chemistry, whilst, in metachemistry, both the Mother and the Unclear
Spirit take
precedence over the Daughter.
ATOMIC
AND
SUBATOMIC
MEANS
1. Subatomically,
the
ego
is
always
centred in a molecular-wavicle
mean,
whatever the overall element to which it is affiliated, whereas the
soul is
centred in an elemental-wavicle mean, that
of
subatomic essence as distinct from subatomic quality.
2. By contrast to the ego and soul, the
will is
always based in an elemental-particle mean, whereas the spirit is
always based
in a molecular-particle mean, that of subatomic quantity as distinct
from
subatomic appearance.
3. Thus the appearance of the will and the
quantity of the spirit, subatomically
corresponding
to elemental and to molecular particles, ever contrast with the quality
of the
ego and the essence of the soul, subatomically
corresponding to molecular and to elemental wavicles.
4. In fact, the appearance of the will and
the
quantity of the spirit contrast with the quality of the ego and the
essence of
the soul ... as power and glory contrast with form and contentment,
since the
power of the will is ever apparent, the glory of the spirit is ever
quantitative, the form of the ego is ever qualitative, and the
contentment of
the soul is ever essential, whether in per
se or 'quasi' manifestations
in each case.
5. The ego that
is
quantified, as superconscious mind, will
invariably
rebound from selflessness to the core of the self, wherein only essence
prevails.
6. For the ego cannot cease being selfish
or,
rather, of the self even when it is quantified by spiritual
selflessness to an
extent which transmutes it into superconscious
mind
and causes it to rebound from such an extreme position to what is more
deeply
and essentially of itself - namely, the soul of subconscious mind.
7. Thus that which, in the ego, corresponds
to a
molecular-wavicle mean goes 'back and down'
via the
elemental-particle mean of the will and the molecular-particle mean of
the
spirit until, duly transmuted by the latter, it elects to react from
the
selfless quantification of itself (in molecular particles) to its
elemental-wavicle core in the subconscious,
wherein it is redeemed by
the sanctity of soul.
8. But such a redemption is transient,
because
the self must again return to ego, and hence to its molecular-wavicle mean, in order to plunge anew from
qualitative form
(ego) into the apparent power (will) of the not-self and be transmuted
by the
quantitative glory (spirit) of selflessness, as before.
9. The realization of soul between the
breaths,
the out-breath of the spirit and the in-breath of the will, happens in
a split
second, and therefore so fast that one cannot keep conscious track of
it, but
nevertheless it is during that infinitesimally brief period of time
that the
self-as-mind psychoconcentrically rebounds
from
spiritual selflessness to the self-as-soul, prior to a return to
self-as-ego.
10. This realization or redemption or
enlightenment ... happens in the split-second between the breaths,
wherein one
makes contact with the deepest part of the self, the soul, and
experiences
being, whether joyfully in metaphysics, pleasurably in physics, proudly
in
chemistry, or lovingly in metachemistry,
depending on
the kind of self to which one relates and the corresponding orders of
not-self
and selflessness which it consciously exploits.
11. For the being of metaphysics, being
essential, is joyful, whereas the being of physics, being only
quasi-essential from a qualitative centre, is pleasurable, the being
of
chemistry, being only quasi-essential (if not, in its phenomenal
objectivity,
pseudo-essential) from a quantitative base, is proud, and the being
of metachemistry, being only
quasi-essential (if not, in its noumenal
objectivity, pseudo-essential) from an apparent
base, is loving.
12. Now although the soul is always found in the
elemental wavicles of being, it is
not found
on the same basis or to the same extent in every element, being
first-rate in
the protons and/or protinos of
metaphysical
sensuality and/or sensibility, second-rate in the neutrons and/or
neutrinos
(not to mention the deuterons and/or deuterinos
of
the more radical masculine subatomicity)
of physical
sensuality and/or sensibility, third-rate in the electrons and/or electrinos (not to mention the positrons and/or positrinos of the more radical feminine subatomicity)
of chemical sensuality and/or sensibility, and fourth-rate in the
photons
and/or photinos of metachemical
sensuality and/or sensibility.
13. Only when being is genuinely essential is it
truly soulful, and hence heavenly. In
the quasi-essential quality of physics, by comparison, it is simply earthly, whereas in the quasi-essential quantity
of
chemistry and in the quasi-essential appearance of metachemistry,
by
contrast,
it
is
respectively purgatorial and hellish.
14. If being is only in its per
se
manifestation in essence, then taking, the attribute of ego, is only in
its per
se manifestation in quality; giving, the attribute of spirit, only
in its per
se manifestation in quantity; and doing, the attribute of will, only
in its per
se manifestation in appearance.
15. To contrast the photon and/or photino elemental particles of metachemical
will with the proton and/or protino
elemental
particles of metaphysical will, and each of these noumenal
orders of sensual and/or sensible willpower with the electron and/or electrino elemental particles of chemical will
and the
neutron and/or neutrino elemental particles of physical will, as one
would
contrast expression with impression (noumenal)
and
compression
with
depression
(phenomenal).
16. To contrast the photon and/or photino molecular particles of metachemical
spirit with the proton and/or protino
molecular
particles of metaphysical spirit, and each of these noumenal
orders of sensual and/or sensible spirit with the electron and/or electrino molecular particles of chemical spirit
and the
neutron and/or neutrino molecular particles of physical spirit, as one
would
contrast unclearness with holiness (noumenal)
and
clearness
with
unholiness (phenomenal).
17. To contrast the photon and/or photino molecular wavicles
of metachemical ego with the proton and/or
protino
molecular wavicles of metaphysical ego,
and each of
these noumenal orders of sensual and/or
sensible ego
with the electron and/or electrino
molecular wavicles of chemical ego and the
neutron and/or neutrino
molecular wavicles of physical ego, as one
would
contrast beauty with truth (noumenal) and
strength
with knowledge (phenomenal).
18. To contrast the photon and/or photino elemental wavicles
of metachemical soul with the proton
and/or protino elemental wavicles of
metaphysical soul, and each of these noumenal
orders
of sensual and/or sensible soul with the electron and/or electrino
elemental wavicles of chemical soul and
the neutron
and/or neutrino elemental wavicles of
physical soul,
as one would contrast love with joy (noumenal)
and
pride
with
pleasure
(phenomenal).
19. To descend from the first-rate doing of metachemical will to the fourth-rate doing of
metaphysical
will via the second-rate doing of chemical will and the third-rate
doing of
physical will, as from the expressive power of photon and/or photino elemental particles to the impressive
power of
proton and/or protino elemental particles
via the
compressive power of electron and/or electrino
elemental particles and the depressive power of neutron and/or neutrino
elemental particles.
20. To descend from the first-rate giving of
chemical spirit to the fourth-rate giving of physical spirit via the
second-rate giving of metachemical spirit
and the
third-rate giving of metaphysical spirit, as from the clear glory of
electron
and/or electrino molecular particles to
the unholy
glory of neutron and/or neutrino molecular particles via the unclear
glory of
photon and/or photino molecular particles
and the
holy glory of proton and/or protino
molecular
particles.
21. To ascend from the fourth-rate taking of
chemical ego to the first-rate taking of physical ego via the
third-rate taking
of metachemical ego and the second-rate
taking of
metaphysical ego, as from the strong form of electron and/or electrino molecular wavicles
to
the knowledgeable form of neutron and/or neutrino molecular wavicles
via the beautiful form of photon and/or photino
molecular wavicles and the true form of
proton and/or
protino molecular wavicles.
22. To ascend from the fourth-rate being of metachemical soul to the first-rate being of
metaphysical
soul via the third-rate being of chemical soul and the second-rate
being of physical
soul, as from the loving contentment of photon and/or photino
elemental wavicles to the joyful
contentment of
proton and/or protino elemental wavicles
via the proud contentment of electron and/or electrino
elemental wavicles and the pleasurable
contentment of
neutron and/or neutrino elemental wavicles.
23. Whatever their individual standings, will,
spirit, ego, and soul are always either based or centred, depending on
the
context, in subatomic elements and/or elementinos,
whereas
the
id,
by
contrast, is ever based in the atomicity of the central
nervous system and reflects, in consequence, a physiological
disposition to
instinctively impose upon organs of sensuality and/or sensibility which
is not
only distinct from the wilful, spiritual, intellectual, and emotional
dispositions of power, glory, form, and contentment, as noted above,
but
independent of doing, giving, taking, and being in what may be called
the
informality of acting and/or reacting.
24. Yet even the id is conditioned by the type of
central nervous system to which it pertains as instinctive impulse, and
is in
no sense uniformly identical with itself in all elemental contexts,
irrespective of gender or of genetics.
25. The objective id of a metachemical
and/or a chemical bias is more disposed to acting instinctively than to
reacting, whereas the subjective id of a physical and/or a metaphysical
bias is
more disposed to instinctively reacting (to instinctive actions) than
to
acting.
26. One could plot a descent of instinctual acting
from the most instinctual acting of the metachemical
id to the least instinctual acting of the metaphysical id via the more
(relative to most) instinctual acting of the chemical id and the less
(relative
to least) instinctual acting of the physical id.
27. Conversely, one could plot an ascent of
instinctual reacting from the least instinctual reacting of the metachemical id to the most instinctual reacting
of the
metaphysical id via the less (relative to least) instinctual reacting
of the
chemical id and the more (relative to most) instinctual reacting of the
physical id.
28. Whatever the bias of any particular id, as of
the central nervous system which is its physiological base, the
impulsive
actions and/or reactions of the id should also be distinguished from
the
apparent doing of the will, the quantitative giving of the spirit, the
qualitative taking of the ego, and the essential being of the soul.
EXTREMES
OF
THE
SELF
1. The self is divisible not merely between
the
unconscious impulses of the id and the conscious directives of the ego,
as
regards physiological and psychological manifestations of the central
nervous
system, but also between the superconscious
sensations of the mind and the subconscious emotions of the soul, both
of which
are psychical.
2. Hence there exists for the self a
distinction
between id and ego on the one hand, that of the unconscious and the
conscious,
and between mind and soul on the other hand, that of the superconscious
and the subconscious, the former arguably primary and the latter
secondary,
since both the superconscious and the
subconscious
derive from conscious pressures which impinge upon what has been called
the
somatic not-self and psychesomatic
selflessness, the
will and the spirit.
3. For the soul tends to lie dormant or,
rather,
to exist only as a potentiality so long as there has not been a
commitment by
the self-as-ego to the not-self and a rebound, in consequence, of the
self-as-mind from selflessness to the resolution of the self-as-soul,
the superconscious extreme duly leading to
the subconscious
one.
4. But the self-as-soul will always have to
return to the self-as-ego, which is the primary or principal
manifestation of
the self for a creature trapped, as all men are, in form, and thus the
human
body.
5. On the other hand, the self-as-id, or
active
impulse, is much less inclined, particularly in the female contexts of metachemical and chemical objectivity, to
embrace the soul
than the self-as-ego, and for the simple reason that it is at the
furthest
possible remove from such a psychical position in the nerve-driven
impulses of
its physiology, which reflects a more basic relationship to the
not-self and to
selflessness than is to be found in the ego.
6. Unconscious impulse may be a quicker way
of
manipulating the not-self than conscious ratiocination, but it is only
via the
conscious self that superconsciousness can
be
cultivated to any appreciable extent, and duly result in the rebound of
the
self to subconsciousness which one would
associate
with the soul.
7. For both the superconscious
and subconscious derive, in no small degree, from the conscious self
engaged in
manipulative dialogue with the somatic not-self and psychesomatic
selflessness, and where there is no such dialogue because the conscious
self
has been substituted by the unconscious self of the id, then no superconsciousness or subconsciousness,
corresponding
to
mind
and
to soul, emerges, but only a behavioural
relationship, based in instinct, of the self-as-id to the not-self and
its
selfless complement of spirit, whatever the elemental context.
8. Thus the soul is denied by individuals
and/or
societies that place the emphasis on unconscious impulse at the expense
of
conscious definition, since the id is not the precondition of the soul
but its
physiological antithesis, and where acting is paramount, there can be
very
little scope for being.
9. Not only is there a struggle between the
id
and the ego, the unconscious and the conscious, for control of the
not-self and
selflessness, but the distinction between the superconscious
and the subconscious, the mind and the soul, is only possible on the
basis of
the ego, or conscious, and will cease to have any applicability or
relevance
whenever the ego is denied, in anti-male and/or Antichristian vein, by
people
or peoples for whom the impulsive activity of the id takes precedence.
10. Therefore in the division of the self between
id and ego, either the ego replaces the id, in due conscious vein, or
the
unconscious takes charge of the self and becomes the principal
determinant of
will and spirit in the not-self and selflessness, to the detriment of
the soul,
and hence of psychic fulfilment.
11. Needless to say, the id will only take charge
in individuals or societies that are overly objective, and hence of a
female
disposition, since it is in the nature of females to use instinct to
by-pass
the conscious whenever they can, bearing in mind that egocentricity is
less
subjective than objective with them anyway, and that they have a
reduced
capacity, in consequence, for the kind of conscious ratiocination that
requires
a subjective precondition either in vegetation or air, the male
elements par
excellence.
12. Although females can only achieve third-
and/or
fourth-rate orders of soul, depending on the context, via the ego, or
conscious
mind, to which they more objectively relate, they nonetheless have a
greater
tendency than males to rely on the id for impulsive manipulation of the
not-self, since not only is it quicker to by-pass the ego in this way
(and thus
get ahead of the competition, so to speak), but it enables them to
avoid
emotional entanglements where none were desired, and acts as
compensation,
moreover, for egocentric shortcomings.
13. This enhanced tendency of females to rely on
the id also causes males to impulsively react from the standpoint of
their own
id, thereby temporarily sacrificing ego to the more basic mode of the
self
which stems from and relates to a physiological disposition.
14. Nevertheless the id, whilst it may be of
unquestionable significance to the self as a starting-point for its
relationship to the world, cannot become a permanent substitute for the
ego,
since the instinctual bias of the unconscious is no match for the
intellectual
bias of the conscious when it comes to developing the self beyond the
selfishness of nervous impulse to the deeper and more lasting
experiences of
the soul.
15. A life in which the id is granted too much
prominence ceases to be meaningful, but becomes akin to that of a
soulless
automaton, or ghoul, for whom impulsive acting and/or reacting is the
instinctual mean.
16. Hope springs unconsciously from the id, as, in
negative terms, does fear, since both alike are aspects of active
impulse, but
hope for love or pride or pleasure or joy, and fear of hatred or
humiliation or
pain or woe ... are what drives the self in search of or away from the
actuality of such experiences, which can only be achieved or avoided,
as the
case may be, via the ego.
17. Hence the instinctive impulses of the id give
rise to hope or to fear, which the ego can then seize upon as it consciously determines the appropriate response
and
behaviour pattern for the self to follow.
18. In death, however, there is no longer a
dialectic
between id and ego on the one hand, and mind and soul on the other
hand, but
simply a confrontation between the id and the soul, the physiological
and
psychical extremes of the self, which either the id will win or the
soul,
depending on how one had lived.
19. Such a coming to accounts with the extremes of
the self, as the ego and the mind slip away, may well suggest a
struggle
between damnation and salvation, unconscious activity and subconscious
passivity, but the outcome would, in any case, have been predetermined
by the
pattern of one's life, and one would have no doubt as to whether one
was in the
'hell of the id' or in the 'heaven of the soul', the alpha or the omega
of the
self.
20. For the 'heaven of the soul', whether
literally heavenly or of some alternative order of positive experience,
only
comes to those who have cultivated the soul in life and thus prepared
themselves for death, not to those whose physiological obsession with
the id
precluded all but a mechanistic frenzy of impulsive superficiality, the
sort of
impulsive superficiality upon which the subsequent superimposition of crematorial damnation would be the Superheathen
corollary.
OF
IDIOTS
AND
EGOISTS
1. Returning from the physiological and
psychical
extremes of the self to the primary distinction between the id and the
ego, it
comes as no surprise for me to discover that the struggle here is
effectively
one between idiocy and egoism for control of the self in its
relationship to
the not-self and to selflessness.
2. Now just as the ego, or conscious mind,
is
responsible for the rational manipulation of verbal conceptions, or
thoughts,
so the id, or unconscious mind, is responsible for the irrational, or
impulsive, manipulation of non-verbal perceptions, or images.
3. Thus, broadly speaking, it transpires
that
while the ego is paramount during the day or, at any rate, the period
of one's
being awake, the id becomes paramount, over and above instinctual
activity,
during the time, more usually at night, when one is asleep, since the
id is
just as disposed, in its physiological activity, to manipulating mental
perceptions as the ego ... to manipulating mental conceptions.
4. But just as there are different ways of
manipulating verbal conceptions ... from reading to thinking (noumenal) via speaking and writing (phenomenal),
so there
are different ways of manipulating non-verbal perceptions ... from
hallucinating to dreaming (noumenal) via
fantasizing
and daydreaming (phenomenal).
5. Certainly, it is not invariably the case
that
the id only comes to light, so to speak, at night, during sleep; for
dreaming
is only one mode of unconscious activity, if generally the most
prevalent and
persistent mode.
6. Nor,
conversely, can
it be said that the ego only functions during the day, when one is
awake; for
there are actually times when it manages or contrives to subvert the
dream
process in the interests of verbal conceptions.
7. Nevertheless, the distinction between
dreams
and thoughts or, rather, between the manipulation of non-verbal
perceptions by
the id and the manipulation of verbal conceptions by the ego, the
former
largely unconscious and the latter usually conscious, is a very
definite and,
in most cases, clear-cut one, with corresponding distinctions between
idiocy on
the one hand, and egoism on the other.
8. I happen to believe that egoists are an
altogether superior breed to idiots, although the age is not altogether
on my
side in this respect, particularly in view of the extents to which
artificial
modes of idiocy, or id-based activity, including photography, cinema,
video,
and television, have generally prevailed in life, often to the
detriment, if
not effective exclusion, of egoism.
9. For there is arguably a parallel, it
seems to
me, between visionary hallucination and photography, dreams and cinema
films,
fantasies and videos, and, last but not altogether least, between
daydreaming
and television, and the artificial has tended, when it hasn't
altogether
eclipsed the natural ... to at any rate reinforce it, making for an age
in
which id-oriented idiots have been free to explore a variety of
impulsive
activities, with due mechanistic disregard for the soul.
10. Thus whether the bias of the id has been metachemical and vision- and/or
photography-orientated;
chemical and fantasy and/or video-orientated; physical and daydream-
and/or
television-orientated; or metaphysical and dream- and/or
film-orientated, the
idiots have been granted, by a plethora of modern technologies,
virtually a
free hand to do their damnedest in delineating and exaggerating the
significance of instinct and impulsive action in the conduct of life.
11. The results, none too surprisingly, have been
the systematic selfishness and 'up-tightness', together with a
correlative lack
of self-cultivation, which modern life presents to the disinterested
spectator
or philosophical outsider as a lesson in how not
to behave
if you want to reach any sort of gratificatory
accommodation with the soul, whether in life or, more importantly
perhaps, in
death.
12. Yet, despite populist culture and the general
drift of heathenistic modernity, aided and
abetted by
those twin pillars of objective freedom, 'Britannia' and 'the Liberty
Belle',
it hasn't all been just 'one way'. The
egoist may have been a second-class citizen in those countries
especially
besotted with idiocy and in the grip of various kinds of image-obsessed
idiot,
but latterly his predilection for reading or thinking (noumenal)
and/or speaking or writing (phenomenal) has ceased to lag
naturalistically
behind, in book-like vein, the trendy id-mongers of technological
advancement,
but acquired greater artificial definition, not least of all with respect to the growth of personal and/or
universal (Internet-oriented) computing, which surely signifies a writerly if not, in relation to CD-ROMs, a readerly mode of egoism which would suggest that
egoism no
longer languishes in the painful shadows of idiocy, like a Christian
under fire
from communist Godlessness, but is now leading society towards a better
future,
in which the soul will once again become the be-all-and-end-all of
earthly or,
at any rate, post-worldly if not otherworldly
striving.
13. Yes, it seems to me that as the id acquired
artificial
definition in a variety of image-dominated contexts, so the ego has now
acquired something comparable which, whether with regard to computers
and/or
calculators or to telephones (including mobiles) and/or telephone
answering-machines or to midis and/or CD-Players or even to radio
and/or
radio-cassette recorders, should keep it in the vanguard of
contemporary
civilization for some time to come.
14. Thus whether the egocentric medium be
naturalistic or artificial, traditional or modern, it too has been
transmuted
in all elemental contexts, from metachemistry
and
chemistry on the female side of life to physics and metaphysics on its
male
side, and I fancy that whereas reading and CD-ROMing,
or
the
intellectual
utilization
of CD-ROMs, constitute metachemical
alternatives, speaking and voice-recording, writing and typing, and
thinking
and computing are their chemical, physical, and metaphysical
counterparts
within the natural and artificial alternatives of egoism.
SELF
AND
ANTISELF,
ETC.
1. Contrasted to the self, the not-self and
to
selflessness ... are what may be called the antiself,
the
antinot-self or, rather, not-antiself,
and antiselflessness, which stand to self,
not-self,
and selflessness as their negative counterparts.
2. For wherever something is positive (and
supreme), there will be something negative (and primal) lurking in the
background, whether with regard to the self, to the not-self, or to
selflessness, and its negativity will derive from and owe more to
inorganic
sources of a cosmic and/or geologic order than to anything organic, and
hence
personal and/or universal.
3. Just as the self is divisible between an
unconscious id, a conscious ego, a superconscious
mind, and a subconscious soul, so the antiself
is
likewise divisible between an unconscious anti-id, a conscious
anti-ego, a superconscious antimind, and a
subconscious antisoul.
4. One could think, more basically, of
these
several manifestations of antiself in
terms of the
anti-unconscious, the anticonscious, the
anti-superconscious, and the
anti-subconscious, for they are
that which attest to negative modes of the id, the ego, the mind, and
the soul.
5. Likewise the not-antiself
is a negative mode of the will, while antiselflessness
is its negative spiritual counterpart, whether in relation to metachemistry, chemistry, physics, or to
metaphysics.
6. Whereas the metachemical
self has reference to beauty and love, the metachemical
antiself attests to ugliness and hatred,
the negative
form and contentment of primal space-time devolution.
7. Whereas the chemical self has reference
to
strength and pride, the chemical antiself
attests to
weakness and humility, the negative form and contentment of primal
volume-mass
devolution.
8. Whereas the physical self has reference
to
knowledge and pleasure, the physical antiself
attests
to ignorance and pain, the negative form and contentment of primal
mass-volume
evolution.
9. Whereas the metaphysical self has
reference
to truth and joy, the metaphysical antiself
attests
to falsity and woe, the negative form and contentment of primal
time-space
evolution.
10. In all four elemental contexts, the negativity
of the antiself contrasts with the positivity of the self ... as primacy with
supremacy - the
former owing its existence to an inorganic precondition and the latter
to an
organic one.
11. Likewise, in relation to the not-self, one
should contrast the negative expression of metachemical
antipower with the positive expression of metachemical power, the negative compression of
chemical antipower with the positive
compression of chemical power,
the negative depression of physical antipower
with
the positive depression of physical power, and the negative impression
of
metaphysical antipower with the positive
impression
of metaphysical power.
12. Progressing from the antiwill
and will to the antispirit and spirit, one
should
contrast the negative unclearness of metachemical
antiglory with the positive unclearness of metachemical glory, the negative clearness of
chemical antiglory with the positive
clearness of chemical glory,
the negative unholiness of physical antiglory with the positive unholiness
of physical glory, and the negative holiness of metaphysical antiglory with the positive holiness of
metaphysical glory.
13. Just as the id, or unconscious, is concerned
with hope in relation to a variety of supreme, or positive, options
having
reference to the self, so the anti-id is concerned with fear in
relation to a
variety of primal, or negative, unconscious options having reference to
the antiself.
14. For the id is usually optimistic, or hopeful,
about the options open to the self, whereas the anti-id can only be
pessimistic, or fearful, about things in view of its negative basis in
and
reference to the antiself.
15. The id, like the
self
in general, derives from the organic supremacy of the central nervous
system,
whereas the anti-id, like the rest of the antiself,
derives
from
the
inorganic
primacy of the Cosmos and/or its phenomenal
offshoots in certain parts of the Solar System.
16. When the self is identified too closely with
the Cosmos and/or Solar System, it is because primacy prevails over
supremacy
in what amounts to a primitivistic
state-of-affairs
in which negativity is effectively hegemonic, and one defers to what
has been
described as the antiself.
17. For, strictly
speaking, the self cannot be identified with the Cosmos and/or its
geologic
extrapolations in the Solar System, for the self is organic and thus
above and
beyond the pale of inorganic associations.
18. The self is as superior to the antiself and its negativity ... as the personal
and/or
universal to the geologic and/or cosmic, since that which is positive
owes its positivity to the organic, and
the organic stands to the
inorganic as supremacy to primacy.
19. Whether one's particular type of self be
objective and female or subjective and male, personal and phenomenal or
universal and noumenal in either gender,
it is as
superior to the antiself as the not-self
to the not-antiself and as selflessness to antiselflessness,
for that which is supreme is both more devolved (if objective) and more
evolved
(if subjective) than the primal.
20. I have no doubt that, even with an antiself to contend with in relation to cosmic
and/or
geologic influences, the self can triumph over the primitive forces of
negativity and proceed to build the personal and/or universal edifices
of
supremacy on the cosmic and/or geologic foundations of primacy towards
an
ever-more positive futurity. For we are
far superior, in devolutionary and/or evolutionary terms, to whatever
forms a
cosmic and/or geologic backdrop to us!
COMPARISONS
AND
CONTRASTS
IN
CLASS AND GENDER
1. Just as evil and wisdom constitute two
aspects of noumenal actuality, the one metachemical and the other metaphysical, so
there will be
some wisdom in the individual who is most evil or, at any rate, has metachemical associations with evil and,
conversely, some
evil in the individual who has metaphysical associations.
2. Just as goodness and foolishness
constitute
two aspects of phenomenal actuality, the one chemical and the other
physical,
so there will be some foolishness in the individual who is most good
or, at any
rate, has chemical associations with goodness and, conversely, some
goodness in
the individual who has physical associations.
3. Thus whilst evil and wisdom are
demonstrably
upper-class attributes, with more evil than wisdom in the metachemical
context and, conversely, more wisdom than evil in the metaphysical one,
so
goodness and foolishness are lower-class attributes, with more goodness
than
foolishness in the chemical context and, conversely, more foolishness
than
goodness in the physical one.
4. The so-called 'wise man', an upper-class
man
of a markedly metaphysical disposition, will always have to contend
with an
evil 'shadow side' to his particular noumenal
bias,
while, conversely, the so-called 'evil man', an upper-class man or,
more
correctly, woman ... of markedly metachemical
disposition, will always have the benefit of a wise 'shadow side' to
his/her
particular noumenal bias.
5. Likewise, the so-called 'good man', a
lower-class man or, more correctly, woman ... of markedly chemical
disposition,
will always have to contend with a foolish 'shadow side' to his/her
particular
phenomenal bias, while, conversely, the so-called 'foolish man', a
lower-class
man of markedly physical disposition, will always have the benefit of a
good
'shadow side' to his particular phenomenal bias.
6. It is my belief that, class and genetics
being correlative, people do not usually change planes to any
appreciable
extent, but remain recognizably either evil and good (if objective) or
foolish
and wise (if subjective), so that a distinction continues to exist
between 'the
evil' who are sometimes wise and 'the good' who are sometimes foolish
on the
one hand, and between 'the wise' who are sometimes evil and 'the
foolish' who
are sometimes good on the other hand.
7. Were this not so, there would be a
continuous
alternation between evil and goodness on the one hand, and between
foolishness
and wisdom on the other hand, but, generally speaking, goodness
predominates
over evil and foolishness preponderates over wisdom in phenomenal, or
lower-class, societies (democratic/Christian), whereas evil
predominates over
goodness and wisdom preponderates over foolishness in noumenal,
or upper-class, societies (autocratic/Buddhist).
8. In objective,
female-biased societies, evil and goodness are the principal noumenal/phenomenal alternatives at stake,
whereas in
subjective, male-biased societies, by contrast, the principal
phenomenal/noumenal alternatives will be
foolishness and wisdom.
9. A metachemical
society, rooted in noumenal objectivity,
will
emphasize evil - and hence crime, cruelty, and opacity - at the expense
of
goodness, whereas a chemical society, rooted in phenomenal objectivity,
will
put the emphasis on goodness - and hence punishment, adroitness, and
lucidity
and/or transparency - at the expense of evil.
10. A physical society, centred in phenomenal
subjectivity, will emphasize foolishness - and hence sin, stupidity,
and
gravity - at the expense of wisdom, whereas a metaphysical society,
centred in noumenal subjectivity, will put
the emphasis on wisdom -
and hence grace, kindness, and tranquillity - at the expense of
foolishness.
11. Metachemical
societies are at a moral or, rather, immoral disadvantage to chemical
societies, since evil is an immorally inferior alternative to goodness,
whereas
physical societies are at a moral disadvantage to metaphysical
societies, since
foolishness is a morally inferior alternative to wisdom.
12. There can be no moral comparison, however,
between metachemical and metaphysical
societies on
the one hand and chemical and physical societies on the other hand,
since
morality is always subjective, whereas immorality is ever objective,
obliging
one to contrast the evil of the metachemical
with the
wisdom of the metaphysical or, in phenomenal contexts 'down below', the
goodness of the chemical with the foolishness of the physical.
13. Which is simply to contrast the one gender
with the other on both noumenal (upper
class) planes
and phenomenal (lower class) planes, allowing for the fact that, even
though
moral in its phenomenal subjectivity, the physical society will be
vulnerable
to sanction, if not prohibitive discrimination, from the chemical
society,
since whereas goodness is a superior immoral alternative to evil,
foolishness
is an inferior moral alternative to wisdom, and that which is superior
in the
one gender context will tend to feel superior - albeit without
philosophical
justification - to that which is inferior in the other gender context,
even
though no comparison - barring their common adherence to phenomenal
planes -
between the two types of lower-class society is logically sustainable.
14. For you can only compare that which is alike
in respect of sharing a common gender orientation, irrespective of its
class,
and contrast either of those to that which, existing on the opposite
side of
the gender fence, adheres to the opposite disposition, be it moral and
subjective or, in the female case, immoral and objective.
15. Thus although comparisons can be made between
objective and subjective, immoral and moral, with regard to class ...
where
both share a common plane, no such comparisons can be made with regard
to
gender, since that which is female, and hence objective, can only
remain
distinct from whatever is male, and hence subjective.
16. Goodness may be better, or objectively
(immorally)
more desirable from a feminine point of view, than evil, but goodness
is only
different from foolishness, as evil from wisdom.
17. Similarly, wisdom may be better, or
subjectively (morally) more desirable from a divine standpoint, than
folly, but
wisdom is only different from evil, as foolishness from goodness.
18. Thus while woman may be better than the Devil
on the one hand, and God be better than man on the other hand, woman is
only
different from man, and God different from the Devil.
19. But just as every noumenal
actuality has a 'shadow' noumenon and,
likewise,
every phenomenal actuality a 'shadow' phenomenon, as already defined,
so the
godly man, the metaphysically upper-class and most respectable man, is
capable
of evil, just as the feminine woman, the chemically lower-class and
most
respectable woman, is capable of folly.
20. It is doubtless because the metaphysically
upper-class man, though overwhelmingly disposed to wisdom, is capable
of evil
... that one should fear (the wrath of) as well as have faith in (the
wisdom
of) God.
21. Conversely, it is doubtless because the metachemically upper-class man or, more
correctly, woman,
though overwhelmingly disposed to evil, is capable of wisdom ... that
one
should have hope (for clemency from) as well as fear (the evil of) the
Devil.
22. Be that as it may, I have no doubt that God
and Heaven for the metaphysically upper-class man are principally
inside the
self, and that he achieves godliness and heavenliness for himself or,
rather,
the self ... whenever he practises metaphysics, whether sensually, in
aural
terms, or sensibly, in respiratory terms, so that he is God and
Heaven
at such times when specifically committed to metaphysical praxis.
23. But godliness for the metaphysically
upper-class man, the 'wise man', is something continually to be
redeemed in the
heavenliness of essential being; for godliness is profane in its
egocentric qualitativeness (truth) whereas
heavenliness is sacred in
its psychocentric essence (joy), and thus
the raison
d'être
of metaphysical praxis.
24. The metaphysically upper-class man practises
at God for the sake of Heaven, upholds truth in the interests of joy
(bliss),
is metaphysically egocentric for the sake of his psychocentric
self, constantly cycle-shifting, within metaphysics, from taking to
being via
doing and giving, as from quasi-essential form (truthfully qualitative)
to
essential content(ment) via quasi-essential
power
(impressively apparent) and quasi-essential glory (holily
quantitative), the
ego to the soul of primary God and Heaven via the will and the spirit
of
secondary God and Heaven, the God and Heaven of the metaphysical
not-self and
selflessness, both of which subjectively serve the metaphysical self.
25. Not only is there no God and Heaven elsewhere
for the metaphysically upper-class man, be he submasculine
in sensuality or supermasculine in
sensibility, than
in his metaphysical self and, to a secondary extent, in both his
metaphysical
not-self and selflessness, be it sensual or sensible, but claims by
others to
the contrary meet with no approval or endorsement on his part
whatsoever.
26. For there have been fraudulent gods and
heavens elsewhere than in the metaphysical realms (of sensuality and
sensibility in relation to sequential time and spaced space) ever since
the
dawn of religion, or what passes in some quarters for such, and they
are
sometimes not even a masculine or a feminine shortfall - nonetheless
duly hyped
- from divinity and sublimity so much as
their
diabolic and infernal antitheses!
27. Worse than the man and earth or than the woman
and purgatory duly hyped as God and Heaven ... is the Devil and Hell;
for here
one enters the sensual and sensible realms of metachemistry,
with
its
Cupidian axis bisecting space
(spatially)
and time (repetitively), and wherever such an axis passes for God and
Heaven
... there can be no genuine godliness and heavenliness, but only the
Devil and
Hell posing
as God and Heaven.
28. Has not the history of Creator-based
religions,
whether Middle-Eastern or Western, borne ample testimony to the fact
that what
is actually, to all metachemical
appearances of Cupidian devolution, the
Devil and Hell ... has been
worshipped as God and Heaven?
29. Now, strictly speaking, one can only worship
that which is primarily outside the self, not primarily within the
self, and
wherever the worship of 'God and Heaven' has taken a Creator-based metachemical turn, going all the way back to the
Cosmos, it
is because the Devil and Hell, to revert to their literal status, are
primary
in the metachemical not-self and
selflessness but
secondary in the metachemical self, given
the
objectivity which prevails in metachemistry
in due
female terms - terms duly extending down to the chemical realm of woman
and
purgatory.
30. Wherever subjectivity prevails, on the other
hand, then profanity and sanctity are primarily within the self and
only
secondarily without the not-self, as in the physical not-self and
selflessness,
but if the primary realization of man and earth within the physical
self is one
thing, then the primary realization of God and Heaven within the
metaphysical
self is quite another, and while the former would be Christian, the
latter is
most decidedly Subchristian in sensuality
and Superchristian in sensibility, the Superchristian
being the salvation of the Subchristian
and
methodology by means of which the ultimate profanity may be redeemed in
the
ultimate sanctity, the sanctity of the metaphysical 'kingdom within'.
SEXUALITY
AND
THE
ID
1. The
connection
between sexuality, or the fact of one's having sex, and the id is
direct, since
sexuality is rooted, like the id, in unconscious impulse.
2. Not only does sex occur as a
mutually-shared
instinctual response to fleshy temptation of a sufficiently alluring
nature,
but there is an intimate connection between sex and the id during
sleep, as and
when one experiences a nocturnal emission, or 'wet dream', due to
unconscious
impulses associated, more usually, with erotic imagery.
3. Just as the brain is located at one end
of
the central nervous system, so the reproductive organs are located at
its other
end, as separate manifestations of not-self from that which can be
physiologically identified with the self, whose instinctual
manifestation is the
id.
4. The above must be so, to some extent,
even of
females, though the feminine axis of tongue to womb would be more
characteristic of them, in view of their chemical disposition towards
phenomenal objectivity.
5. However that may be (and bearing in mind
that
metachemical and metaphysical modifications
of the
self are also possible due to class and gender influences which owe
more to noumenal than to phenomenal
factors), there can be no
question that for most people the unconscious instinctuality
of sex derives from the id and therefore is not an isolated matter
having
nothing to do with the self.
6. But, then, the instinctual self is the
most
basic manifestation of the self, just as sex is the most basic
manifestation of
self-expression, and will only be unfettered, or 'free', when there is
little
or no prohibitive influence from the ego, that conscious manifestation
of
selfhood which is capable of transcending both the not-self and
selflessness in
the interests of mind and soul, or superconsciousness
and subconsciousness.
7. Thus 'sexual freedom', or the unfettered
encouragement of the id to seek sexual fulfilment through the
reproductive
organs, is only possible on the basis, no less basic than that of the
id
itself, of a heathenistic norm, since
sexual
fulfilment is to the id what emotional fulfilment is to the ego -
namely its raison
d'être and ne plus ultra.
8. Thus unfettered sexuality is only
conceivable
in a heathenistic context, be it
individual or
societal, and attests to the absence, for whatever reason, of the kind
of
conscious constraints or taboos placed upon sexuality when Christian or
Christian-type criteria obtain.
9. For the difference between a Heathen and
a
Christian society ... is that whereas the one has its starting-point in
the id
and its finishing-point in the gratification of the id through
reproductive
fulfilment (sex), the other has its starting-point in the ego and its
finishing-point in the gratification of the ego through emotional
fulfilment
(soul).
10. Thus a Christian or Christian-type society, of
which my own Superchristian alternative to
Christianity, viz. Social Transcendentalism, is a case in point, can
only be
censorious of sexual freedom and/or unfettered sexuality, since its
conception
of mankind transcends the animal selfishness of reproductive
gratification in
the name of the development of self towards a divine or, at any rate,
soulful
end.
11. When the id is unfettered, on the other hand,
then soulfulness is 'beyond the pale' and, with it, the possibility of
genuine
religion, as temporal concerns, rooted in unconscious impulse, become
the
be-all-and-end-all of human striving, and mankind are reduced to the
survival
level of the animal kingdom, with little or no concept of or respect
for
Eternity ... other than through the mundane satisfaction, where
conception is
actually effected, of generative continuity.
12. A society in which the id has effectively
eclipsed the ego, in which instinctive self-gratification becomes the
mean,
will be mechanistic and magical, falling back, in materialism, upon the
false
religions of cosmic and/or geologic primacy, where fantasy of one
visionary
persuasion or another becomes the principal expression of cultural
self-identity, an identity at once Superheathen/Heathen
and
superfeminine/feminine, with little or
nothing to
commend it to male sensibility.
13. The symbolical effigies of 'Britannia' and
'the Liberty Belle' perfectly illustrate the Heathen/Superheathen
disposition, through primacy, of the Anglo-American West, in which the
feminine
and the superfeminine have come to the
fore at the
expense of male subjectivity and reduced society - and by implication
most of
the individuals of which it is composed - to mechanistic playthings of
magical
spectacles which owe more to the id, in idiotic fashion, than ever they
do to
the ego.
14. So long as 'Britannia' and 'the Liberty Belle'
are enthroned in their respective countries, there will be no
appreciable change
for the better, i.e. for the supersession
of the id
by the ego and, more importantly, of the ego by the soul, but only a
continuance of the Heathen/Superheathen
norms of
female objectivity, as before.
15. Although there is ample evidence, in
contemporary
society, of egocentric alternatives to id-based mechanisms, such
alternatives,
for the most part equally mechanistic, are unlikely to tip the balance
against
the pervasive and influential id-based media in favour of a Christian
or, more
relevantly for the future, Superchristian
alternative.
16. That, it seems to me, could only be done
within the Superchristian context of
'Kingdom Come',
and then largely, though not exclusively, on the basis of legalizing
the use of
drugs which are known to have chemical properties commensurate with the
development of an 'inner light' such that would overhaul and
effectively
eclipse the 'outer lights' germane to photographic and filmic media
generally,
thereby establishing a 'reborn' alternative to them in keeping with the
need
for a 'kingdom within' that, besides according with Superchristian
criteria, would amount to an artificially-contrived 'resurrection of
the dead',
or of afterlife-type experiences in the grave for those who had every
right,
within 'Kingdom Come', to otherworldly fulfilments.
17. Before I proceed to discuss 'Kingdom Come' in
greater detail, however, a word must be said about the id in connection
with an
important distinction, hitherto overlooked, between behaviourism on the
one
hand and mechanism, or mechanistic materialism and/or realism, on the
other
hand.
18. For 'sexual freedom' can be interpreted in two
quite distinct ways, depending on the individual and the society:
either in
terms of the gratification of the id, the instinctive aspect of the
self, or
central nervous system, through reproductive fulfilment (sex) or,
alternatively, in terms of the denial of reproductive commitment
through
recourse to contraceptive means of one kind or another, which is less
sex, as
defined above, than antisex.
19. For where sex is
behaviouristic and a reflection, no matter how selfish, of
self-respect, antisex is mechanistic and
therefore a testimony to the
absence of self-respect even on the arguably pagan terms to which the
behavioural gratification of the id ordinarily pertains.
20. Thus whereas sex is still rooted in the self,
conceived in instinctual terms as id, antisex
is
rooted in the antiself, the negative
unconscious of
that which is less supreme than primal in its cosmic and/or geologic
associations.
21. Where sex is behaviouristic and crudely
mystical, rooted in personal and/or universal concern for generative
continuity
through reproductive fulfilment, antisex,
devoid of
reproductive aspirations, is simply mechanistic and magical, rooted in
geologic
and/or cosmic oppositions to any such fulfilment, since solely
concerned to
garner what pleasure (sic.) can be obtained via the mechanics of
copulation,
etc., in response to magical appearances aided and abetted by realism
and/or
materialism.
22. Not only is antisex
a futility when compared or, rather, contrasted to sex as an incentive
and
reward for reproductive fulfilment, but it requires not a positive but
a
negative precondition such that owes more to female objectivity than to
male
subjectivity, and which accordingly stems from the 'lead', if I may
speak
paradoxically, of objective criteria owing more, through realism and/or
materialism, to the not-antiself and its antiselfless complement, than to the self or,
rather, antiself as such, since the antiself
that acquiesces in antisex is negatively
ranged
against itself in due primal fashion.
23. Thus in considering the distinction between
behaviouristic sex and mechanistic sex, the former crudely mystical and
the latter
all-too-smugly magical, one is drawn to the conclusion that the former
is
deserving of more respect than the latter, since demonstrative of that
which is
in touch with the self as opposed to being negatively ranged against it
in due
realistic and/or materialistic terms.
24. In fact, it seems to me that what may be
called behaviouristic pagans are generally worthy of more respect than
their
mechanistic and effectively heathen counterparts in the West ... where
this
distinction between sex and antisex is
concerned, and
that those who were once Christian 'First' (fallen, more often than
not, into
Protestant heresy) are now heathen 'Last', while those who are pagan
'Last'
(including Subchristians and Subjudaists)
may well be among the Superchristian
'First' in the
generations to come.
25. Be that as it may, I do not doubt that
Protestants, in particular, have paid dearly for their real and/or
material
gains and greater freedoms, not least of all in terms of loss of self,
and
hence self-respect. For not only has the
conscious self been eclipsed by the unconscious self, as ego by id, but
positivity has been overshadowed by
negativity in the march
of Western decadence and decline from sensual supremacy into the
sensual
primacy of mechanistic degeneration, making the primitive positivity
of the Pagan upon whom Western imperialists formerly wiped their
realistic
and/or materialistic boots ... seem much the more desirable of the two
alternative approaches to egocentric self-denial which rule the
contemporary, godless
world.
TOWARDS
A
GAELIC
FEDERATION
1. I hinted above that so long as
'Britannia'
remained enthroned as symbolical illustration of realistic freedom in
the
United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) there would be
no
appreciable change for the better, so far as the continuing dominance
of female
objectivity was concerned, and thus little or no prospect of an end to
sensual
primacy and of a return not merely to sensual supremacy but to sensible
supremacy, particularly with regard to a Superchristian
disposition surpassing anything Christian.
2. Thus a democratically-mandated political
dismemberment of the United Kingdom is crucial, so I contend, to the
achievement of the desired change and to the dethronement, in
consequence, of
'Britannia', since such a symbolical effigy of the realistic mechanism
of
sensual primacy is only meaningful in relation to the existence of
Great
Britain, and thus to the Union of England, Scotland, and Wales
(together, in
the broader context of the United Kingdom, with Northern Ireland, that
greater
part of the province of Ulster).
3. However, such a Union, presided over by
the
monarchy, is not only bad, I shall argue, for Britain, particularly for
the
predominantly Gaelic countries of Scotland and Wales, but is also bad
for
Ireland, both North and South, since the loyalty of Protestant
Ulstermen to the
British throne and/or 'mainland' is - and has long been - an obstacle
to a
united Ireland, and hence to lasting peace within Ireland as a whole.
4. The fact of a divided Ireland can only
continue to bedevil hopes for lasting peace, since those who, as
pro-republican
Catholics, seek unity with the South have to be weighed against (the
falsely-contrived majority within the Ulster statelet
of) those who remain loyal to Britain and whose opposition to Irish
unity is
the principal reason for the island's continuing division.
5. So long as Catholics and Protestants
continue
to exist and to espouse their respective aspirations or loyalties, as
the case
may be, there will not be a solution to Ireland's divided predicament,
a
predicament historically created by the British and maintained, with
British
military support, by their colonial offshoots.
6. Thus any solution to the tragedy of
Irish
partition requires an end to sectarian rivalry and division, and the
adoption,
in its place, of a new religion such that transcends the phenomenal
shortcomings and moral limitations of Christianity, be
these Catholic or Protestant.
7. There can be no unity between Irishmen
in a
united Ireland so long as sectarian divisions exist, and therefore the
religion
which created those divisions and which is responsible for their
continuance
will have to be democratically rejected by the peoples concerned, in
order that
they may opt for unity on the basis of the Superchristian
religion which I have identified, throughout my work, with Social
Transcendentalism, as being that which accords, in its metaphysical
completeness, the completeness of metaphysical sensibility, with the
will of
the (Gaelic) Second Coming or, to all intents and purposes, Messianic Superchrist.
8. But I do not
regard
a united Ireland as possible so long as Britain continues to exist,
since
loyalty by Protestant Ulstermen to
9. Thus I foresee the need to placate that loyalism through the concept and, hopefully,
future
actuality of a Gaelic federation of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, since
if
Ireland is to be united, it should only be on the basis of a compromise
between
Nationalist and Unionist traditions, such that requires acceptance of a
new and
better - from the Gaelic standpoint - Union, in which Irish unity can
officially come to pass.
10. For, even without
sectarian
divisions, the prospects for a united Ireland that ignored Unionist loyalism would be very bleak, bearing in mind
the
inevitability of loyalist opposition to Irish nationality.
11. But a united Ireland that came to pass because
the majority of Unionists, arguably of Scotch and/or Welsh Gaelic
descent, were
prepared to live within a Gaelic federation of Ireland, Scotland, and
Wales,
and because Nationalists were prepared to accept unity on the basis of
Ireland's inclusion within such a federation, would, it seems to me,
prove both
durable and peaceable.
12. For then one has what is best for Irishmen in
general, viz. unity between Gaels of every national persuasion in what
would
effectively be a new country that, with Scotland and Wales, gave
Ireland the
added security of not having the British giant, that superstate
created by Englishmen to control Gaels and enable England to pursue her
civilized goals wherever she might, 'breathing down its neck', as at
present,
but of having 'the old enemy' at a significantly greater remove from
itself in
what would eventually amount, in all probability, to an English
republic, an
English nation that, without territorial claims or responsibilities in
respect
of the United Kingdom, would no longer have need of the monarchy and no
longer
be prevented, in consequence, from drawing closer to Rome via a
disestablished
Church.
13. Yes, I have no doubt that the only 'way out'
of Britain for Scotland and Wales is through the establishment of a
Gaelic
federation with Ireland, and that the only way that Irish unity can be
honourably and lastingly effected is through acceptance of a federal
unity with
Scotland and Wales, so that, for the first time in their turbulent
history,
Gaels may join together into a supra-national federation within the
European
Union and achieve a permanent accommodation with one another on the
basis of
Social Transcendentalism, the Superchristian
successor, so far as I am concerned, to the terrible dichotomy within
Christianity of Catholicism and Protestantism.
14. But to have the chance of so doing, Gaels must
be granted the opportunity, in all three Gaelic countries, of voting
for
religious sovereignty, the ultimate sovereignty in the evolution of
sovereignties, and, by implication, for the right to religious
self-determination within the meritocratic
framework
of Social Transcendentalism, with its concept of a triadic Beyond (the
Centre)
in which persons of Puritan, Anglican, and Roman Catholic
denominational
descent could find a common Superchristian
identity
for themselves, independently of Creator-based worship, not only in
Ireland but
eventually in Scotland and Wales as well.
15. For so long as Christianity persists in
existing, there will be no prospect of religious harmony between the
polarized
denominations, and no prospect, moreover, of Gaelic unity both within
Ireland
and, more generally, within what has been termed a Gaelic Federation,
potentially commensurate, so far as I am concerned, with the principal,
if not
pristine, manifestation of 'Kingdom Come'.
16. For 'Kingdom Come' is no myth or figment of
the imagination, but something that can initially be brought to pass
here on
earth, provided that the will is there and that people are sufficiently
acquainted with the implications and teachings of Social
Transcendentalism to
be able to respond in a positive manner to the prospect of Messianic
deliverance from 'sins and/or punishments of the world', of which their
respective (republican and parliamentary) modes of political
sovereignty are a
case in point.
17. For that which, in religious sovereignty, is
not of the world lies beyond it, and that which lies beyond the world
is
germane, in its otherworldly pursuits, to 'Kingdom Come', particularly
when
conceived in relation to the establishment of a Gaelic Federation whose
Messianic figurehead and effective leader would, in his supreme
metaphysical
bias, be a 'god-king', the 'philosopher-king' long hoped for by 'the
faithful'
to lead them beyond the 'sins and/or punishments of the world' into the
graces
of the Superchristian Other World, wherein
godly
truth and heavenly joy would reign for ever more, and specifically
within the
top tier of the triadic Beyond for those who were most deserving of it.
18. Yet authentic grace through respiratory
sensibility, viz. transcendental meditation, would be a very different
proposition from the inauthentic grace that obtains, through verbal
absolution,
for repentant Catholics, and the fulcrum of religion would accordingly
be
shifted-up from what, in Christianity, is effectively an economic 'bovaryization' in the sin of knowledge to a
religious per
se
in the grace of truth, whose psychocentric
transmutation is not the heaviness of pleasure in physical soul, but
the
lightness of joy in metaphysical soul, the soul-of-souls.
19. Even those who have been earmarked for the
bottom and middle tiers, duly subsectioned,
of
the
triadic
Beyond
... would experience something of this religious per
se,
albeit duly modified in watery (feminine) and vegetative (masculine)
terms to
suit their more purgatorial and earthly overall dispositions.
20. Yet those who, for whatever reasons, had no
desire to become a part of 'Kingdom Come' in either its administrative
or its
religious manifestations would be well advised, in the event of a
majority
mandate for religious sovereignty under Social Transcendentalism, to
take
themselves away, presumably, in most cases, to England, with due
eschatological
implications.
21. For the prospect of a Gaelic Federation would
divide the wheat from the chaff, the Gael from the Brit, and result,
sooner or
later, in the exodus of the latter, whether as Anglo-Irish,
Anglo-Scotch, or
Anglo-Welsh, from those countries which were opting for religious
sovereignty
within a Social Transcendentalist context.
22. Since a Gaelic Federation would have to be
Gaelic in all contexts, intellectual as well as cultural, persons who
could not
abide the supersession of English by
Gaelic as a
first language would have little option, it seems to me, but to remove
themselves from the federation in question.
23. For Gaelic unity cannot be achieved on the
basis of English, but only in relation to the Gaelic language, even if,
initially, Irish Gaelic, Scotch Gaelic, and Welsh Gaelic were obliged
to
co-exist in each of the respective Gaelic countries ... prior to the
creation,
in times to come, of a unitary Gaelic language drawn from, yet also
transcending, each and every Gaelic tradition.
24. Only Gaelic can do proper justice to the
cultural aspirations of Social Transcendentalism, not a genderless
tongue like
English which, even if regarded in a 'civilized' light, would fall as
far short
of the Superchristian mark as woman of
superman or
water of air or ... literature of music, if not altogether antithetical
to it
in terms of its materialistic rejection of gender.
25. And this Gaelic manifestation of 'Kingdom
Come', of a Gaelic federation of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, would
need a
unitary emblem, an emblem transcending the national flags of the
Republic of
Ireland and Great Britain, a banner, I mean, in which the Superchristian
ethos of Social Transcendentalism was granted due emblematic
exemplification in
the guise of what I have elsewhere described as a 'Supercross',
or
inverted
CND
design
upon which both masculine and feminine signs were
granted due prominence in reflection of their harmonious co-option to
the
ideological religion in question.
26. I have occasionally changed my mind as to what
colours would best characterized this Supercross
of
'Kingdom Come', but I believe I have finally settled on a compromise
solution,
from a supra-national standpoint, by opting for a ruby-coloured Supercross upon a turquoise ground, the ruby a
tempering of
Welsh red and the turquoise a combination of Irish green and Scottish
blue,
thereby representative of the blending into one harmonious colour of
the two
principal components of our prospective federation.
27. Be that as it may, I have no doubt whatsoever
that such a unitary emblem, whatever its final colouration, is
absolutely
crucial to the establishment of a Gaelic federation of Ireland,
Scotland, and
Wales (together, if mutually desirable, with the Isle of Man and
certain
offshore islands), since it will be necessary to put all historical
flags,
including those of Scottish and Welsh nationalism, behind it in the
interests
of Gaelic unity and the development of an ultimate culture such that
will do Superchristian justice to each of
the countries in
question, duly blended, following 'Judgement', or the
democratically-mandated
option on religious sovereignty, into one nation within the European
Union.
28. Doubtless England will retain its own national
flag, the Cross of St. George, even if the 'Union Jack' of Great
Britain is
destined to be discarded in the event of Ireland (both North and
South),
Scotland, and Wales opting to join together in the interests not only
of
deliverance from English dominance, but of unity between all
Gaels
in
what
would
amount
to an altogether new type of 'Kingdom', one vastly
different,
in its heavenly orientation, to the old, in which Social
Transcendentalism
would reign supreme in testimony to the transcendence of Catholic and
Protestant divisions through Superchristian
resolution.
29. The Gael, be he Catholic or Protestant,
'Irish' or 'British', has much need of such a transcendence of
dichotomous
Christianity, and only through voting for religious sovereignty via
Social
Transcendentalism can there be any prospect of lasting peace and
reconciliation
coming to pass, since he will never again be politically divided
through
religion.
30. What England initially created, only the Gael
can re-create, for it is in his interests to be delivered from the
republican
world (of Southern Ireland) and/or monarchic netherworld (of the United
Kingdom) to the Messianic otherworldly salvation of 'Kingdom Come', in
which
culture will blossom as never before under the wise guidance of the
'philosopher-king' and effective Second Coming ... of Superchristian
Revelation.
VOICE
OF
THE
SELF
1. In music, the
self
finds articulation through the voice, both instinctually, with the id,
and
intellectually, with the ego, the one arguably Pagan and the other
effectively
Christian.
2. When the id utilizes the voice for
purposes
of self-revelation, one gets chanting, or something analogous, whereas
when the
ego utilizes the voice for such purposes the result is singing, which
will be
less instinctual and correspondingly more intellectual, making use, as
a rule,
of verbal concepts.
3. The self that finds a musical outlet for
itself
through chanting, being of an animal disposition, is principally
interested in
sexual fulfilment, whereas the self that sings, being more fully human,
is
capable of transmuting ego into soul, albeit providing the will to an
emotional
end is actively there.
4. Thus whereas the unconscious self, or
id,
remains partial to an un-egocentric level of vocals which may not even
attain
to intellectual articulation, the conscious self, or ego, has the
possibility
of transmuting ego into soul via mind, as when the quantified self, or superconscious, rebounds from selflessness to
its emotional
core in the soul, or subconscious.
5. The technique of transmuting ego into
soul
via mind is called vocalizing, and in vocalizing the ego is purged of
intellect
through emotion, which takes hold of verbal concepts and strings them
out
... until they become redeemed by soul,
melody duly superseded by pitch.
6. Obviously, this process of transmuting
ego
into soul through vocalizing can happen at a variety of different
levels ...
from metachemical and chemical to physical
and
metaphysical, since there are as many ways of singing as there are
elements,
and as many types of soul ... from love and pride on the female, or
objective,
side of life ... to pleasure and joy on its male, or subjective, side.
7. Thus whilst one need not doubt that
there are
metachemical, chemical, and physical kinds
of
vocalizing, full justice to the soul will only be done in the
metaphysical
context of religious music, with or without instrumental accompaniment. For, compared with metaphysical joy, physical
pleasure is economic, while, contrasted to physical pleasure, one finds
that
chemical pride is political and, compared with chemical pride and
contrasted to
metaphysical joy, it transpires that metachemical
love is scientific.
8. Often one kind of singing can be
distinguished from another on the basis of pitch, with high pitch at
one end of
the vocal spectrum and low pitch at its other end, the former
superficial and
the latter profound, since female singing extends from soprano to
contralto via
mezzo-soprano, whereas male singing extends from alto to bass via tenor
and
baritone, the bass totally beyond female parallels.
9. Often, too, technique is significant in
enabling one to differentiate a scientific approach to singing from a
religious
approach, the former expressive and the latter impressive, and to
further
differentiate each of these (noumenal)
extremes from
what may, in phenomenal terms, be called a political approach to
singing from
an economic approach, the former compressive and the latter depressive.
10. Thus we are in effect distinguishing rhythm
from pitch on the one hand, that of the noumenal
types of singing, and harmony from melody on the other hand, that of
the
phenomenal types of singing, which owe rather more to volume and mass,
in
lower-class vein, than to time and space, whatever the axial
alternatives one
cares to consider.
11. There are also, of course, instrumental
combinations and preferences which underlie vocals and make it possible
for one
to discern a bias towards either metachemistry,
chemistry,
physics,
or
metaphysics,
as the case may be, with percussion highly
prominent in metachemical, or scientific,
music;
keyboards generally prominent in chemical, or political, music; strings
(including guitars and harps) generally prominent in physical, or
economic,
music; and wind (including pipes) highly prominent in metaphysical, or
religious, music.
12. Doubtless most composers aim to establish a
parallel between the kind of vocal music and the instrumental
accompaniment,
since metachemical music, being
expressive, is
rhythmic, and no instruments can compete with percussion where rhythm
is
concerned; chemical music, being compressive, is harmonic, and no
instruments
can compete with keyboards where harmony is concerned; physical music,
being
depressive, is melodic, and no instruments can compete with strings
where
melody is concerned; and, last but hardly least, metaphysical music,
being
impressive, is pitchful, and no
instruments can
compete with wind where pitch is concerned.
13. Thus we are in effect differentiating the
elemental particles, whether metachemical per
se
or otherwise, of 'scientific music' from the molecular particles,
whether
chemical per se or otherwise, of 'political music', and each of
these
objective kinds of music from the molecular wavicles,
whether
physical
per se or otherwise, of 'economic music', and the
elemental wavicles, whether metaphysical per
se
or otherwise, of 'religious music', as between rhythm and harmony on
the one
hand, and melody and pitch on the other.
14. Of course not all music is vocal, whether
completely or in part, although the best of it arguably is, if one
associates
'the best', in whatever elemental context, with self-realization,
whether
expressively, compressively, depressively, or impressively, and
accordingly
places self-gratification above self-denial through an overly objective
disposition towards the not-self and selflessness, a disposition that
can only
be female even when males follow suit and sacrifice the subjectivity of
self,
whether selfishly in the id or self-enhancingly
in
the ego, to the objectivity of not-self and selflessness either
literally, by
adopting rhythmic and/or harmonic instrumental preferences, or
effectively and
paradoxically, by treating the melodic and pitchful
biases of their own subjective not-self and selflessness, whether
physical or
metaphysical, in a quasi-objective and, hence, primarily instrumental
way, and
presumably due to the continual pressure, within a female-dominated
civilization, of objective values.
15. For it does seem - and Western civilization
provides ample confirmation - that an objective hegemony in society
will tend
to condition music away from the self, and hence vocals, towards the
not-self
and selflessness, and hence instrumentals, whether in rhythm and
harmony or,
less straightforwardly, in melody and pitch, making for an instrumental
bias
over vocal music.
16. Thus people come to identify music, in an
objective society, primarily with instrumentals and only secondarily
with
vocals, even though, as the most subjective of art forms, music is more
suited
to a primary definition with regard to vocals, and hence to
self-realization,
and to a secondary definition with regard to instrumentals, and hence
to
self-denial through affirmation of not-self and selflessness, power and
glory,
will and spirit, at the expense of form and contentment, ego and soul.
17. Of course, vocal music can also be less a
matter
of self-realization through the ego than of self-affirmation through
the id,
where chanting rather than singing is its principal manifestation, and
there is
no question but that this can exist, as a kind of pagan outsider
germane (in
its 'alternative' bias) to some kind of cultural 'underground' or
sub-culture,
within societies which are predominantly objective and hence
mechanistic, with
greater respect for instrumentals, and by implication the materialism
of
musical instruments, than for vocals.
18. But even egocentric vocal music will always be
something of a second-class citizen and comparatively uphill struggle
in
mechanistic societies, where the self counts for less, in the objective
scale
of things, than the not-self and selflessness of a female hegemony.
19. Nevertheless vocal music is still possible in
such societies and continues to be composed and sung, if predominantly
more on
a metachemical (jazz) and chemical (pop)
basis than
in relation to physical (operatic) and metaphysical (ecclesiastical
and/or
traditional) alternatives of arguably a more male-biased, or subjectivistic, persuasion.
20. And the better the vocal music, the more will
ego be transmuted into soul, with an ascending spectrum of emotional
merit ...
from love to joy via pride and pleasure.
21. Although, as a Messianic philosopher, I am not
overly in favour of music, be it instrumental or vocal, on account of
my
metaphysical bias being towards respiratory sensibility, and hence
transcendental meditation conceived as the salvation of metaphysics
from
airwaves to the breath, outer and 'once born' to inner and 'reborn', I
am not
so wildly optimistic as to suppose that, at least for the foreseeable
future,
mankind could live without music, since whilst it may not be the
greatest or
highest 'art', it is arguably the greatest art form, and one that holds
an
irresistible charm for people, whatever their age or sex.
22. What I am
cautiously
hopeful about is that music will become, in the future, less
instrumental and
more vocal, as society becomes less objective and more subjective, less
Superheathen and more Superchristian,
with
a
corresponding
shift
of emphasis in the self from id-based vocals to
ego-centred vocals such that will intimate, no matter how paradoxically
compared to meditative sensibility, of emotional redemption in the soul.
23. And I feel that whereas classical music was -
and still is - largely acoustic and 'naturalistic' in its orchestral
bias, what
may be termed 'superclassical' will be
electric and
synthetic, by which I mean bearing testimony to a
synthetically-modified
abstraction and/or extrapolation from naturalistic precedent, which
will allow
for the emulation and/or transcendence of orchestral sounds - as,
indeed, of
virtually any instruments which owe more to concrete nature than to
abstract supernature.
24. Thus it inevitably follows that comprehensive
synthesizers will figure prominently in the superclassical
overhaul and effective eclipse of classical music, as Superchristian
criteria replace Christian criteria in the advance of civilization
towards its
supernatural peaks, aided and abetted by computers and - crucial to
egocentric
'rebirth' - the availability of various symbols on screen from which
music
and/or text can be read and duly transmuted upwards via such
vocalizing, itself
synthetically modified, as would be requisite to the exemplification of
a
soulful end.
25. If art is the 'handmaiden of religion', then
synthetic vocal music, in particular, will be the art form which most
panders
to the ideological religion of Social Transcendentalism, becoming, at
its
highest level, a pitchful intimation, duly
vocalized,
of meditative praxis for those who would be unable to completely
transcend
music, and hence the airwaves, in the interests of meditation upon the
breath.
26. But pitch needn't necessarily be high, or
fast, since it seems to me that the deepest pitch is the most
impressive,
confirming one in the notion that the 'tieferness',
so
to
speak,
of
things lies in the basso
profundo
of that which exemplifies the most joy in Om-like
vein,
a
joy
at
once metaphysical and male in its calm subjectivity.
27. For just as the male voice stretches beyond
the female one in terms of its depth and profundity, the bass
overhauling not
only the baritone, tenor, and alto of male vocal alternatives, but
leaving the
contrasting female shallowness of soprano, mezzo-soprano, and contralto
in the
wake of its plumbing of the soulful depths, so should the profoundest
music aim
to re-create an impression of profundity through depth, the bass
register
mystically freed from magical or mechanistic subversion, and enabled to
deliver
to the voice that pitchful accompaniment
which would
be at the core of the synthesizer ... pretty much as the bass voice
itself is
at the core of musical soul.
28. But if the bass voice is beyond the range of
most people, men as well as women, then the baritone and the tenor on
the male
side of the gender divide and the mezzo-soprano and the contralto on
its female
side ... would still have a place within the triadic Beyond of 'Kingdom
Come'
which, though less metaphysical than physical or chemical, would enable
melody
and harmony to act as a support for pitch in its plumbing of the utmost
cultural joy, a support largely, if not entirely, beyond rhythmic
expression.
THE
CORE
OF
THE
SELF
1. The utmost religious joy, however, can
only
come via transcendental meditation, since it is that which utilizes the
'air-within' of the breath to achieve both a transmutation of the
egocentric self
and a rejection of its spiritualization thereof, in the interests of
emotional
redemption, the superconscious duly
superseded by the
subconscious as self reacts against the threat of excessive
selflessness to
achieve for itself the enhancement of self which is commensurate with
the soul,
the kernel of its being.
2. Thus only the 'kingdom within' of
metaphysical sensibility can deliver to the self its profoundest joy, a
joy
which goes beyond, or transcends, anything recourse to metaphysical
sensuality via
the airwaves can deliver to the self, albeit even the metaphysical
'kingdom
without', which is rather more theocratic than meritocratic,
can
deliver
joy
to
the self, thereby confirming the presence of
metaphysical
soul.
3. For here, too, one is dealing with being
in relation to essence, soul in relation to breath, self in relation to
air,
albeit it be the 'outer air' of the airwaves, with a joy that is
correspondingly less deep, less lasting, and arguably less fulfilling,
since
more sensual than sensible, and being further compromised by the
anterior
sensuality of love in relation to the metachemical
soul of autocracy.
4. For autocracy precedes theocracy, as the
stellar cosmos precedes the solar cosmos, or as Jehovah precedes Satan,
or as
eyes precede ears, or as Saul precedes
David ... in the sensual alternatives, both primal and supreme,
negative and
positive, to the noumenal 'kingdoms
without', the one
objectively rooted in spatial space and the other subjectively centred
in
sequential time, a metaphysical 'fall guy', in its submasculine
subjectivity, for superfeminine
denigration from the
objectivistic 'on high' of metachemical
precedence.
5. And even the Christian Church came to
reflect, in the course of time, this dichotomous hierarchy in which the
'First
Mover' tended to pull (sensual) rank on the 'Fallen Angel', as stellar
Jehovah
upon solar Satan or optical Saul upon aural David, and autocracy
accordingly
got the better of theocracy, came off better, one might say, in the
struggle
between Church and State, submasculinity
and superfemininity, for control over
men's lives.
6. Such it has always been in the West,
with
alternations between New Testament and Old Testament, the Father
vis-à-vis
Christ and Jehovah vis-à-vis Satan, with theocracy disposed or obliged
to
shuffle between the Father and Satan as the submasculine
was transposed from an ascendant position, in the New Testament Father,
beyond
Christ and over the demonized Pan of a subverted, and hence Satanic,
earth ...
to a dependent and deferential position, in the Old Testament, beneath
Jehovah,
where, correspondingly Satanic, it was duly abandoned in favour of the
autocracy of Jehovah and the concept of God not as 'Father of the Son'
but as
'First Mover' and effective 'Creator of the Universe' (cosmos).
7. Thus the Church itself shifted ground to
suit
the occasion, moving from a quite admirable 'once-born' position in the
Father
to a less than admirably 'once-born' position in Jehovah where, despite
male
terminology, superfemininity was
effectively 'top
dog' over submasculinity, in due
autocratic fashion.
8. But if religion was always on somewhat
shaky
ground in the Christian West, even when Satan had been taken down a
plane or
two from a 'fallen angel' status to a subterranean one to suit a
theocratic
concept of God in the Father ... and one wonders, in consequence, what
basis
for denigration of the latter there could possibly have been for a God
and a
Devil who share the same gender, if with noumenal
and
phenomenal distinctions relative to separate 'kingdoms without', it
could
hardly be said of science that it, too, was always on shaky ground
there,
bearing in mind the authenticity of autocracy in a world where metachemical evil always had the
Bible-sanctioned advantage
over metaphysical wisdom, particularly in view of the latter's almost
chimerical disposition to abandon wisdom for evil, New Testament for
Old
Testament, as and when circumstances deemed fit.
9. An intelligent cynic would certainly
have
solid grounds for doubting the 'rock' upon which the Church was
thematically
built, and for dismissing religion, in consequence, as a lost cause in
the
unequal struggle with evil ... were he disposed to limit his concept of
religion to the West and, more specifically, to the Christian faith, of
which
the Catholic Church has long regarded itself as being the principal, if
not the
sole, exemplar.
10. But if Western religion has never done proper
justice to the doubting cynic, then neither can it be said that the
Christian
Church has done anything like proper justice to religion, since it has
remained, throughout its long history, rooted and/or centred, depending
on the
context, in the concept of God as 'Creator', be that God autocratic and
Old
Testament or theocratic and New Testament, and one cannot imagine
things ever
being substantially different so long as the Bible continues to
function as the
'rock' upon which the thematic foundations of the Church was built,
albeit a
'rock' which presents one face now and a completely different one the
next
moment, as already discussed.
11. No, it seems to me that justice will only be
done to religion when, through effectively Superchristian
teachings such as these, people opt - democratically and peacefully -
to move
beyond the Church and thereby dispense with the Bible, so that instead
of being
held back from metaphysical sensibility by metachemical
and/or metaphysical sensuality, they elect to be saved from it to the
possibility, for those who are 'up to it', of meditative praxis,
thereby
acquiring complete independence, through Social Transcendentalism, from
Creator-based scientific and/or religious primitivity
... for the sake of the optimum development of their selves, with
especial
reference to the soul and, in relation to transcendental meditation,
the
soul-of-souls most especially.
12. For the soul, remember, lies at the core or
'heart' of the self, and one cannot even begin to cultivate the
soul-of-souls,
the metaphysically sensible soul of joyful being, unless one is free
of, or has
been delivered from, religious constraints of the sort that stem from
Biblical
adherence to concepts of God rooted and/or centred in the Cosmos, the
religious
primitivity of which precludes the
possibility of
metaphysical independence.
13. Difficult as metaphysical sensibility would be
when the concept of God was centred in metaphysical sensuality (the
Father), it
is next-to-impossible when such a concept is rooted in metachemical
sensuality (Jehovah), and the objectivity thereof bedevils any attempt
to come
to terms with self-advancement (from ego to soul) by ensuring that the
focus of
religion is always outside
the self ... in either
supreme or, more usually in relation to the Cosmos, primal
manifestations of
not-self and selflessness, will and spirit.
14. Hence the entire tradition of other-based
religion must be rejected in
toto, not just
on the half-measure basis of Christianity, but with intent to 'turning
the
tables' on religious objectivity once and for all, so that the self is
completely
released from the clutches of not-self primacy and/or supremacy and is
able, in
consequence, to develop an unequivocally soul-oriented redemption
through the
lead of metaphysical sensibility.
15. Only Social Transcendentalism, the ideological
religion which I have created and identified with a Superchristian
disposition appropriate to 'Kingdom Come', can provide the People with
the
opportunity to win deliverance from Christian constraints or
limitations and,
more importantly, put the Heathen and Superheathen
freedoms of secular modernity objectively behind them.
16. But if there is to be such a deliverance, then
the People - and the Gaelic electorates above all - will have to seize
the
opportunity, at some future time, of voting for it, since only be
utilizing the
democratic process to vote for
religious
sovereignty can there be any prospect of achieving the right to
self-realization in 'Kingdom Come', which I have provisionally tended
to
identify, all along, with a federation of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales,
together with the Isle of Man and/or various offshore islands, in what
has been
called the Gaelic Federation but could also, and with equal
justification, be
called a Federation of Social Transcendentalist Centres.
17. Thus I am, to all intents and purposes, the
Gaelic Second Coming, and it is my hope and belief that such a Superchristian destiny - not incompatible, so
far as I am
concerned, with the notion of a Superjudaic
one -
does more justice to the concept of a 'Second Coming' than any previous
manifestation of Messianic deliverance has ever done, be it Russian,
German,
Spanish, or whatever.
18. For religious sovereignty, the issue of my
enhanced Messianic credibility, provides the possibility of deliverance
not
only from religious falsehoods of the sort in which the Christian
Church has
always been rooted, but, more contemporaneously and perhaps
significantly, the
possibility of deliverance from 'sins and/or punishments of the world',
including the political (democratic) and economic (capitalist)
shortfalls from
an otherworldly 'Kingdom' whose religion would be truly heavenly.
19. For the world is something that should be
overcome, democratically and peaceably, if man is to stand any chance
not only
of overcoming woman - that heathenistic
obstacle to
enhanced subjectivity - but of overcoming himself through godliness,
and
rejecting the Devil in consequence.
20. Else woman will continue to reign, through the
Devil, over man, and the prospects of a 'brotherhood of men', much less
supermen, can only remain extremely remote.
21. I teach the overcoming of the world through
Social Transcendentalism, and I maintain that only in the otherworldly
context
of 'Kingdom Come', symbolic of the Centre, will there be any reasonable
prospect, through religious sovereignty, of both a 'brotherhood of men'
in
knowledge and pleasure and, more significantly, a 'brotherhood of
supermen' in
truth and joy, these latter manifestations of selfhood alone
commensurate,
primarily and universally, with God and Heaven in their metaphysical
elevation
above the earth.
22. Thus the development of the self from ego to
soul via mind is commensurate with the redemption of the self in the
sacred
transcendence of profanity, whether that profanity be knowledgeable and
masculine in vegetativeness or truthful
and divine (supermasculine) in airiness,
the latter alone capable, with
its noumenal subjectivity, of redemption
in the sublimeness of that sensible being
which, thanks to
mystical essence, lies joyfully at the core of the metaphysical self,
like some
heavenly treasure waiting to be uncovered and, hence, revealed in all
its inner
splendour.
