401. Metaphysical naturalism,
centred in molecular proton/protino wavicles, contrasts with the metachemical
naturalism of molecular photon/photino wavicles.
402. Since science is
materialist, we should distinguish the metachemical
materialism of cosmology from the metaphysical materialism of ontology, further
distinguishing each of these from the chemical materialism of chemistry and the
physical materialism of physics.
403. Since religion is
idealist, we should distinguish the metaphysical idealism of transcendentalism
from the metachemical idealism of fundamentalism,
further distinguishing each of these from the physical idealism of nonconformism and the chemical idealism of humanism.
404. Since politics is
realist, we should distinguish the chemical realism of parliamentarianism from
the physical realism of republicanism, further distinguishing each of these
from the metachemical realism of authoritarianism and
the metaphysical realism of totalitarianism.
405. Since economics is
naturalist, we should distinguish the physical naturalism of capitalism from
the chemical naturalism of socialism, further distinguishing each of these from
the metaphysical naturalism of corporatism and the metachemical
naturalism of feudalism.
406. Science is always associated, in its subatomic
basis, with elemental particles, whereas religion can only be subatomically associated with elemental wavicles.
407. Politics is always associated, in its subatomic
basis, with molecular particles, whereas economics can only be subatomically associated with molecular wavicles.
408. From the most
genuinely materialist science of cosmology to the least genuinely materialist
science of ontology via the more (relative to most) genuinely materialist
science of chemistry and the less (relative to least) genuinely materialist
science of physics.
409. From the most genuinely idealist religion of
transcendentalism to the least genuinely idealist religion of fundamentalism
via the more (relative to most) genuinely idealist religion of nonconformism and the less (relative to least) genuinely
idealist religion of humanism.
410. From the most genuinely realist politics of
parliamentarianism to the least genuinely realist politics of republicanism via
the more (relative to most) genuinely realist politics of authoritarianism and
the less (relative to least) genuinely realist politics of totalitarianism.
411. From the most genuinely naturalist economics of
capitalism to the least genuinely naturalist economics of socialism via the
more (relative to most) genuinely naturalist economics of corporatism and the
less (relative to least) genuinely naturalist economics of feudalism.
412. To metachemically
descend, along the space-time continuum of 'falling fire', from the materialism
of cosmology to the idealism of fundamentalism via the realism of
authoritarianism and the naturalism of feudalism.
413. To metaphysically ascend, along the time-space
continuum of 'rising air', from the materialism of ontology to the idealism of
transcendentalism via the realism of totalitarianism and the naturalism of
corporatism.
414. To chemically descend, along the volume-mass
continuum of 'falling water', from the materialism of chemistry to the idealism
of humanism via the realism of parliamentarianism and the naturalism of
socialism.
415. To physically ascend, along the mass-volume
continuum of 'rising vegetation', from the materialism of physics to the
idealism of nonconformism via the realism of
republicanism and the naturalism of capitalism.
416. To metachemically
descend, in spatial space, from the materialism of elemental photon particles
to the idealism of elemental photon wavicles via the
realism of molecular photon particles and the naturalism of molecular photon wavicles.
417. To metachemically
descend, in repetitive time, from the materialism of elemental photino particles to the idealism of elemental photino wavicles via the realism
of molecular photino particles and the naturalism of
molecular photino wavicles.
418. To metaphysically
ascend, in sequential time, from the materialism of elemental proton particles
to the idealism of elemental proton wavicles via the
realism of molecular proton particles and the naturalism of molecular proton wavicles.
419. To metaphysically ascend, in spaced space, from
the materialism of elemental protino particles to the
idealism of elemental protino wavicles
via the realism of molecular protino particles and
the naturalism of molecular protino wavicles.
420. To chemically descend,
in volumetric volume, from the materialism of elemental electron particles to
the idealism of elemental electron wavicles via the
realism of molecular electron particles and the naturalism of molecular
electron wavicles.
421. To chemically descend, in massed mass, from the
materialism of elemental electrino particles to the
idealism of elemental electrino wavicles
via the realism of molecular electrino particles and
the naturalism of molecular electrino wavicles.
422. To physically ascend,
in massive mass, from the materialism of elemental neutron particles to the
idealism of elemental neutron wavicles via the
realism of molecular neutron particles and the naturalism of molecular neutron wavicles.
423. To physically ascend,
in voluminous volume, from the materialism of elemental neutrino particles to
the idealism of elemental neutrino wavicles via the
realism of molecular neutrino particles and the naturalism of molecular
neutrino wavicles.
424. Just as the space-time continuum of 'falling
fire' is from photon sensuality to photino
sensibility, as from eyes to heart, so the time-space continuum of 'rising air'
is from proton sensuality to protino sensibility, as
from ears to lungs.
425. Just as the volume-mass continuum of 'falling
water' is from electron sensuality to electrino
sensibility, as from tongue to womb, so the mass-volume continuum of 'rising
vegetation' is from neutron sensuality to neutrino sensibility, as from phallus
to brain.
426. One could distinguish the sensual part of the
space-time continuum from its sensible part on the basis of an
autocratic/aristocratic divide.
427. One could distinguish the sensual part of the
time-space continuum from its sensible part on the basis of a theocratic/meritocratic divide.
428. One could distinguish the sensual part of the
volume-mass continuum from its sensible part on the basis of a
democratic/bureaucratic divide.
429. One could distinguish the sensual part of the
mass-volume continuum from its sensible part on the basis of a
technocratic/plutocratic divide.
430. To contrast the
spatial space of autocracy with the repetitive time of aristocracy, as one
would contrast photons with photinos in the barbarism
of 'falling fire'.
431. To contrast the
sequential time of theocracy with the spaced space of meritocracy, as one would
contrast protons with protinos in the culture of
'rising air'.
432. To contrast the
volumetric volume of democracy with the massed mass of bureaucracy, as one
would contrast electrons with electrinos in the
civilization of 'falling water'.
433. To contrast the
massive mass of technocracy with the voluminous volume of plutocracy, as one
would contrast neutrons with neutrinos in the nature of 'rising vegetation'.
434. One could say that whereas autocracy embraces
'falling fire' through the eyes, aristocracy embraces it through the heart.
435. One could say that whereas theocracy embraces
'rising air' through the ears, meritocracy embraces it through the lungs.
436. One could say that whereas democracy embraces
'falling water' through the tongue, bureaucracy embraces it through the womb.
437. One could say that whereas technocracy embraces
'rising vegetation' through the phallus, plutocracy embraces it through the
brain.
438. To descend, along the
space-time continuum, from the diabolical sensuality of autocracy to the
diabolical sensibility of aristocracy.
439. To ascend, along the
time-space continuum, from the divine sensuality of theocracy to the divine
sensibility of meritocracy.
440. To descend, along the
volume-mass continuum, from the feminine sensuality of democracy to the
feminine sensibility of bureaucracy.
441. To ascend, along the
mass-volume continuum, from the masculine sensuality of technocracy to the
masculine sensibility of plutocracy.
442. To distinguish the ruling-class nature, in
photons/photinos, of autocracy/aristocracy from the
leading-class nature, in protons/protinos, of
theocracy/meritocracy.
443. To distinguish the governing-class nature, in
electrons/electrinos, of democracy/bureaucracy from
the representing-class nature, in neutrons/neutrinos, of
technocracy/plutocracy.
444. The ruling-class nature of 'falling fire'
contrasts with the leading-class nature of 'rising air', as the Devil with God,
or Hell with Heaven.
445. The governing-class nature of 'falling water'
contrasts with the representing-class nature of 'rising vegetation', as woman
with man, or the world with purgatory.
446. To distinguish the rule of barbarism along the
space-time continuum from the leadership of culture along the time-space
continuum, as one would distinguish fire from air, first from last.
447. To distinguish the governance of civilization
along the volume-mass continuum from the representation of nature along the
mass-volume continuum, as one would distinguish water from vegetation, second
from third.
448. In relation to time and space, on whichever
axis, both the ruling and leading classes are upper.
449. In relation to volume and mass, on whichever
axis, both the governing and representing classes are lower.
450. Strictly speaking, upper class equals upper
case, whereas lower class equals lower case, though in the interests of
stylistic accessibility I will persist with a more conventional usage
throughout the remainder of this text.
451. A society ruled by the ruling class will tend
to exclude the leading class, whereas a society lead by the leading class will
tend to exclude the ruling class.
452. Man and woman can live with either the Devil or
God, but the Devil and God cannot, as a rule, live
with each other.
453. The triadic Beyond would be a society in which
there was a place, on separate tiers of sensible deliverance, for bureaucrats,
plutocrats, and meritocrats, but no place for
aristocrats.
454. Put differently, this means that whereas there
would be a place for two kinds of sensible lower class, there could only be
room for one kind of sensible upper class - namely, the meritocracy.
455. I do not envisage the triadic Beyond as a
context of classlessness, since classlessness is a term which now strikes me as
having an anarchic connotation, unworthy of structured societies.
456. I distinguish between a bureaucratic lower
class of the 'new earth', a plutocratic lower class of the 'new purgatory', and
a meritocratic upper class of the 'new heaven'.
457. To envisage a
governing class brought low, a representative class raised up, and a leading
class raised upon the latter's shoulders, as woman, man, and superman achieve
their respective standings in the New Order of the triadic Beyond.
458. Is this not commensurate with a left brought
low, a right raised up, and an extreme right raised upon the latter's shoulders
... as mass, volume, and space go forward into Eternity on the most sensible terms,
and at the expense, needless to say, of time?
459. One thing it is not
commensurate with is fascism, or the extreme right-wing bias of 'rising air'
alone.
460. Nor, of course, is it
commensurate with feudalism, or the extreme left-wing bias of 'falling fire'
alone.
461. Rather, it is commensurate with Social
Transcendentalism, or the simultaneous existence, within a triadic framework,
of humanist left-wing, nonconformist right-wing, and transcendentalist extreme
right-wing idealistic alternatives.
462. This contrasts with the sort of British
pluralism which allows for the simultaneous existence of extreme left-wing,
left-wing, and right-wing alternatives, in whatever context, but effectively
excludes the Extreme Right, especially in religion.
463. Such a system constrains woman and man to the
Devil, and thus precludes their alliance, in an alternative framework, with
God, in what I am wont to regard as 'Kingdom Come', the Social
Transcendentalist 'Kingdom' (Centre) of
the Triadic Beyond.
464. It is for the People
to decide whether or not they want to realign themselves, as men and women,
with God, or remain enslaved to the Devil.
465. Such a decision can only be made
democratically, in accordance with the will of the self-appointed champion and prophet
of the Social Transcendentalist Beyond, who regards himself as effectively
corresponding to a Second Coming/True World Messiah.
466. From the metachemical
devility of fiery doing to the metaphysical divinity
of airy being via the chemical femininity of watery giving and the physical
masculinity of vegetative taking.
467. From the diabolic doing of metachemistry
to the divine being of metaphysics via the feminine giving of chemistry and the
masculine taking of physics.
468. From the metachemistry of art to the metaphysics of music via the
chemistry of dance and the physics of sculpture.
469. To contrast the metachemical fieriness of art with the metaphysical
airiness of music, further contrasting each of these with the chemical fluidity
of dance and the physical solidity of sculpture.
470. To distinguish, within
a metachemical/metaphysical antithesis, the noumenal objectivity of dresses (cassocks, gowns, etc.)
from the noumenal subjectivity of boilersuits
and/or zippersuits.
471. To distinguish, within
a chemical/physical antithesis, the phenomenal objectivity of skirts from the
phenomenal subjectivity of trousers (denims, cords, etc.).
472. To fall from dresses to skirts within the metachemical/chemical axes of 'falling fire/water', but to
rise from trousers to zippersuits within the
physical/metaphysical axes of 'rising vegetation/air'.
473. To devolve, within the
space-time continuum of metachemistry, from flounced
dresses to tapered dresses, as from divergence to convergence in noumenal objectivity.
474. To evolve, within the
time-space continuum of metaphysics, from boilersuits
to zippersuits, as from divergence to convergence in noumenal subjectivity.
475. To devolve, within the
volume-mass continuum of chemistry, from flounced skirts to tapered skirts, as
from divergence to convergence in phenomenal objectivity.
476. To evolve, within the
mass-volume continuum of physics, from flared trousers to tapered trousers, as
from divergence to convergence in phenomenal subjectivity.
477. In all the four main
sartorial contexts named above, the passage from divergence to convergence is
akin to a deliverance from sensuality to sensibility, vice to virtue, sin to
grace.
478. To be delivered from the metachemical
sensuality of that which is objectively divergent in spatial space to the metachemical sensibility of that which is objectively
convergent in repetitive time, as from the eyes to the heart.
479. To be delivered from the metaphysical
sensuality of that which is subjectively divergent in sequential time to the
metaphysical sensibility of that which is subjectively convergent in spaced
space, as from the ears to the lungs.
480. To be delivered from the chemical sensuality of
that which is objectively divergent in volumetric volume to the chemical
sensibility of that which is objectively convergent in massed mass, as from the
tongue to the womb.
481. To be delivered from the physical sensuality of
that which is subjectively divergent in massive mass to the physical
sensibility of that which is subjectively convergent in voluminous volume, as
from the phallus to the brain.
482. To descend, in sensuality, from the barbarity
of objective divergence through metachemistry to the
civility of objective divergence through chemistry, as from super-unnature to outer unnature, but
to descend, in sensibility, from the barbarity of objective convergence through
metachemistry to the civility of objective
convergence through chemistry, as from sub-unnature
to inner unnature.
483. To ascend, in sensuality, from the nature (mundaneness) of subjective divergence through physics to
the culture of subjective divergence through metaphysics, as from outer nature
to subnature, but to ascend, in sensibility, from the
nature of subjective convergence through physics to the culture of subjective
convergence through metaphysics, as from inner nature to supernature.
484. Barbarity can lead to civility, as the Devil to
woman, but both alike are objective, and therefore opposed to the subjectivity
of nature and culture.
485. Nature can lead to culture, as man to God, but
both alike are subjective, and therefore beyond the objectivity of barbarism
and civilization.
486. Barbarism is against culture, as the Devil against
God, while civilization is against nature, as woman against man.
487. Man is more pro-God, whether in sensuality or
sensibility, than against woman, while God is more pro-Himself, whether in
sensuality or sensibility, than against the Devil.
488. Only that which is primarily objective, like
fire and water, can be against anything, the former against air, the latter
against vegetation.
489. Vegetation is masculine whether it strives, in
sensuality, towards the sun or, in sensibility, towards the air.
490. In the first instance,
we have outer nature striving towards subnature;
while, in the second instance, we have inner nature striving towards supernature.
491. Water is feminine whether it falls, in
sensuality, towards the sea or, in sensibility, towards the earth.
492. In the first instance,
we have outer unnature paradoxically falling towards
super-unnature (reflected stars); while, in the
second instance, we have inner unnature paradoxically
falling towards sub-unnature (planetary core).
493. To equate the space-time axis of 'falling fire'
with the Behind, whether in sensuality (space) or in sensibility (time).
494. To equate the time-space axis of 'rising air'
with the Beyond, whether in sensuality (time) or in sensibility (space).
495. Hence space-time is behind volume-mass, as fire
is behind water, whereas time-space is beyond mass-volume, as air is beyond
vegetation.
496. Both volume-mass and mass-volume are akin to
limbos in between the hell of space-time and the heaven of time-space.
497. Volume-mass is a feminine limbo and mass-volume
a masculine limbo, the former appertaining to the world of 'falling water' and
the latter appertaining to the purgatory of 'rising vegetation'.
498. Really, one might be forgiven for reversing the
above parallels, so that the volume-mass continuum of 'falling water' is
identified with Purgatory and the mass-volume continuum of 'rising vegetation'
with the World; though this would not be consistent with my habitual
identification of purgatory with man and of the world with woman.
499. Nevertheless, a rational consideration of the
matter would suggest that water was more purgatorial than worldly, and
vegetation, by contrast, more worldly than purgatorial.
500. In which case, one would be inclined to identify
the feminine with Purgatory and the masculine with the World, the former
appertaining to the 'falling water' of volume-mass chemistry and the latter to
the 'rising vegetation' of mass-volume physics.
501. Both Purgatory and the World would, however, be
contexts of limbo in between Hell and Heaven, the former appertaining to the
'falling fire' of space-time metachemistry, and the
latter appertaining to the 'rising air' of time-space metaphysics.
502. If Purgatory is feminine, then it would be closer
to Hell than to Heaven, bearing in mind the objective connection between water
and fire.
503. If the World is masculine, then it would be
closer to Heaven than to Hell, bearing in mind the subjective connection
between vegetation and air.
504. Purgatory is the limbo that, being feminine,
borders on Hell, whereas the World is the limbo that, being masculine, borders
on Heaven.
505. There is a sense in which the molecular
contexts of realism and naturalism correspond to alternative kinds of limbo in
between the elemental contexts of materialism and idealism.
506. This would be in
relation to any given axis, whether in sensuality or in sensibility, rather
than with regard to dissimilar axes, continuums, or whatever.
507. In such fashion, it could be maintained that
politics and economics are as alternative kinds of limbo in between science and
religion, the former effectively hellish and the latter heavenly.
508. Certainly science corresponds to the objective
first thing and religion to the subjective last thing, with an elemental
particle/wavicle distinction between the two extremes
on whatever plane.
509. To distinguish the
photon metachemistry of primal doing from the photino metachemistry of supreme
doing, as one descends through the elemental/molecular subdivisions of spatial
space to the elemental/molecular subdivisions of repetitive time on the basis
of barbarous (hellish) manifestations of materialism, realism, naturalism, and
idealism.
510. To distinguish the
proton metaphysics of primal being from the protino
metaphysics of supreme being, as one ascends through the elemental/molecular
subdivisions of sequential time to the elemental/molecular subdivisions of
spaced space on the basis of cultural (heavenly) manifestations of materialism,
realism, naturalism, and idealism.
511. To distinguish the electron chemistry of primal
giving from the electrino chemistry of supreme
giving, as one descends through the elemental/molecular subdivisions of
volumetric volume to the elemental/molecular subdivisions of massed mass on the
basis of civilized (purgatorial) manifestations of materialism, realism,
naturalism, and idealism.
512. To distinguish the
neutron physics of primal taking from the neutrino physics of supreme taking,
as one ascends through the elemental/molecular subdivisions of massive mass to
the elemental/molecular subdivisions of voluminous volume on the basis of
natural (worldly) manifestations of materialism, realism, naturalism, and
idealism.
513. To devolve, within the superfemininity
of sensual metachemistry, from the materialism of
elemental photon particles to the idealism of elemental photon wavicles via the realism of molecular photon particles and
the naturalism of molecular photon wavicles, as from
alpha-most to alpha-least via alpha-more (relative to most) and alpha-less
(relative to least) manifestations of spatial space.
514. To devolve, within the subfemininity
of sensible metachemistry, from the materialism of
elemental photino particles to the idealism of
elemental photino wavicles
via the realism of molecular photino particles and
the naturalism of molecular photino wavicles, as from omega-least to omega-most via omega-less
(relative to least) and omega-more (relative to most) manifestations of
repetitive time.
515. To evolve, within the submasculinity
of sensual metaphysics, from the materialism of elemental proton particles to
the idealism of elemental proton wavicles via the
realism of molecular proton particles and the naturalism of molecular proton wavicles, as from alpha-most to alpha-least via alpha-more
(relative to most) and alpha-less (relative to least) manifestations of
sequential time.
516. To evolve, within the supermasculinity
of sensible metaphysics, from the materialism of elemental protino
particles to the idealism of elemental protino wavicles via the realism of molecular protino
particles and the naturalism of molecular protino wavicles, as from omega-least to omega-most via omega-less
(relative to least) and omega-more (relative to most) manifestations of spaced
space.
517. To devolve, within the anti-femininity of
sensual chemistry, from the materialism of elemental electron particles to the
idealism of elemental electron wavicles via the
realism of molecular electron particles and the naturalism of molecular
electron wavicles, as from alpha-most to alpha-least
via alpha-more (relative to most) and alpha-less (relative to least)
manifestations of volumetric volume.
518. To devolve, within the pro-femininity of
sensible chemistry, from the materialism of elemental electrino
particles to the idealism of elemental electrino wavicles via the realism of molecular electrino
particles and the naturalism of molecular electrino wavicles, as from omega-least to omega-most via omega-less
(relative to least) and omega-more (relative to most) manifestations of massed
mass.
519. To evolve, within the anti-masculinity of
sensual physics, from the materialism of elemental neutron particles to the
idealism of elemental neutron wavicles via the
realism of molecular neutron particles and the
naturalism of molecular neutron wavicles, as
from alpha-most to alpha-least via alpha-more (relative to most) and alpha-less
(relative to least) manifestations of massive mass.
520. To evolve, within the pro-masculinity of
sensible physics, from the materialism of elemental neutrino particles to the
idealism of elemental neutrino wavicles via the
realism of molecular neutrino particles and the naturalism of molecular
neutrino wavicles, as from omega-least to omega-most
via omega-less (relative to least) and omega-more (relative to most) manifestations of voluminous volume.
521. To contrast the alpha of sensuality with the
omega of sensibility, as one would contrast evil with good, or virtue with
vice, or sin with grace, or freedom with devotion.
522. To fall from the eyes
to the heart on the space-time continuum of metachemical
barbarity, but to rise from the ears to the lungs on the time-space continuum
of metaphysical culture.
523. To fall from the tongue to the womb on the
volume-mass continuum of chemical civility, but to rise from the phallus to the
brain on the mass-volume continuum of physical nature.
524. To contrast the
spatial space of the eyes with the repetitive time of the heart, but the
sequential time of the ears with the spaced space of the lungs.
525. To contrast the
volumetric volume of the tongue with the massed mass of the womb, but the
massive mass of the phallus with the voluminous volume of the brain.
526. To fall in the
objectivity of unconsciousness, but to rise in the subjectivity of
consciousness, whether with regard to the noumenal or
phenomenal manifestations thereof.
527. The objectivity of
unconsciousness, or of the unconscious in one or another of its manifestations,
makes for a selfless disposition, as in the cases of the diabolic and the
feminine.
528. The subjectivity of
consciousness, or of the conscious in one or another of its manifestations,
makes for a selfish disposition, as in the cases of the masculine and the
divine.
529. The selflessness,
through unconscious objectivity, of fire and water contrasts with the
selfishness, through conscious subjectivity, of vegetation and air.
530. To fall, in the
space-time continuum of metachemistry, from the
sensual selflessness of the eyes to the sensible selflessness of the heart, as
from superfeminine to subfeminine.
531. To rise, in the
time-space continuum of metaphysics, from the sensual selfishness of the ears
to the sensible selfishness of the lungs, as from submasculine
to supermasculine.
532. To fall, in the
volume-mass continuum of chemistry, from the sensual selflessness of the tongue
to the sensible selflessness of the womb, as from anti-feminine to
pro-feminine.
533. To rise, in the
mass-volume continuum of physics, from the sensual selfishness of the phallus
to the sensible selfishness of the brain, as from anti-masculine to
pro-masculine.
534. It is not that the selfless is bad or the
selfish good; on the contrary, both attributes appertain to either sensuality
or sensibility.
535. The selfless is either
of Hell or purgatory, the Devil or woman, whereas the selfish is either of the
world or Heaven, man or God.
536. The selfishness of God (the Holy Spirit of
Heaven) is alone commensurate with supreme being, for
it is the superconscious subjectivity of unity
between the universal self, or lungs, and the universal medium, or air.
537. The superman is alone divinely selfish, and
thus the most subjective of beings.
538. The superman's subjectivity derives from the superconsciousness which is established through unity of
his universal self with the universal medium.
539. Ultimately, our spiritual consciousness derives
from the air we breathe, since that alone is superconscious.
540. The brain is only intellectually conscious.
541. Thought is the 'spirit' (mind) of the brain,
and contrasts with both the emotional consciousness (soul) of the blood and the
spiritual consciousness (spirit) of the air.
542. Since both blood and
air pass through the brain, the latter is also subject to emotional and
spiritual manifestations of consciousness.
543. Such emotional and spiritual manifestations of
consciousness are akin to the Father and the Holy Spirit either side of the
Son, Who is of course commensurate with intellectual consciousness, or mind.
544. It is because the brain is host to two marginal
types of consciousness as well as to its own capacity for intellect ... that it
is the one of which the three deities, or manifestations of consciousness, are
pertinent.
545. Dreams are what happen when the intellectual
cynosure of the brain withdraws from the scene, leaving the two extreme
protagonists to 'fight it out' in a tussle between soul and spirit, the former
animated, in seemingly anarchic or haphazard fashion, by the latter.
546. Thus it could be said that, with the withdrawal
of the Son from consciousness with sleep, the Holy Spirit animates the Father,
thereby giving rise to dreams, the psychic fieriness fanned by the spirit.
547. Thus dreams are no more strictly of the brain
than emotions or awareness. On the
contrary, the brain becomes, with sleep, the arena in which the soul and the
spirit enter into immortal struggle.
548. The cynosure of the
soul is not the brain but the heart, from which organ blood is pumped around
the body (including the brain).
549. Likewise, the cynosure of the spirit is not the
brain but the lungs, through which organ air enters the body (including the
brain).
550. The heart and the
lungs are akin, in sensibility, to the Devil and God, whereas the blood and the
air are akin, in sensibility, to Hell and Heaven.
551. The brain is akin to the man (Christ) of
sensibility, whereas thought is akin to the world in sensibility.
552. The womb is akin to the woman (Mother) of
sensibility, whereas children are akin to purgatory in sensibility.
553. Children are only purgatorial so long as they
are in the womb, where they are enveloped by fluid.
554. Outside the womb,
children regress towards Hell, which is to say, the space-time continuum of
'falling fire', wherein the eyes and the heart are the principal organs, the
former in relation to optical curiosity vis-à-vis the world generally, the
latter in relation to familial love.
555. The space-time
continuum is the principal axis of childhood, one to which women are drawn, as
to their metachemical source in the Devil.
556. Men are much less suited to looking after
children than women, given their mass-volume disposition, in the world, towards
'rising vegetation'.
557. The attraction of Hell
over purgatory, or of the Devil over woman, will always be stronger than the
contrasting attraction of the world and/or man, given the objective
correlations which exist between the metachemical and
the chemical, viz. fire and water.
558. I have spoken of the barbarism of metachemistry, or of metachemical
barbarity, but one could just as logically gravitate from the general to the
particular and speak of barbarous metachemistry in
connection with the materialism of elemental photon/photino
particles.
559. Thus to distinguish the barbarous metachemistry of elemental photon/photino
particles from civilized, natural, and cultural manifestations of metachemistry in connection with realist, naturalist, and
idealist subdivisions of space-time.
560. Likewise, to distinguish the barbarous
metaphysics of elemental proton/protino particles
from civilized, natural, and cultural manifestations of metaphysics in
connection with realist, naturalist, and idealist subdivisions of time-space.
561. Similarly, to distinguish the barbarous
chemistry of elemental electron/electrino particles
from civilized, natural, and cultural manifestations of chemistry in connection
with realist, naturalist, and idealist subdivisions of volume-mass.
562. Finally, to distinguish the barbarous physics
of elemental neutron/neutrino particles from civilized, natural, and cultural
manifestations of physics in connection with realist, naturalist, and idealist
subdivisions of mass-volume.
563. Clearly, the barbarous subdivision of any given
axis, or continuum, is always materialist, and hence scientific; whereas the
civilized subdivision thereof is always realist, and hence political; the
natural subdivision thereof always naturalist, and hence economic; and the
cultural subdivision thereof always idealist, and hence religious.
564. Thus to devolve metachemically
from the barbarity of cosmology to the culture of fundamentalism via the
civility of authoritarianism and the nature of feudalism.
565. Thus to evolve metaphysically from the
barbarity of ontology to the culture of transcendentalism via the civility of
totalitarianism and the nature of corporatism.
566. Thus to devolve chemically from the barbarity of
chemistry to the culture of humanism via the civility of parliamentarianism and
the nature of socialism.
567. Thus to evolve physically from the barbarity of
physics to the culture of nonconformism via the
civility of republicanism and the nature of capitalism.
568. The materialism of
barbarous metachemistry, metaphysics, chemistry, and
physics ... is premised upon the elemental element/elementino
particle.
569. The realism of
civilized metachemistry, metaphysics, chemistry, and
physics ... is premised upon the molecular element/elementino
particle.
570. The naturalism of
natural metachemistry, metaphysics, chemistry, and
physics ... is premised upon the molecular element/elementino
wavicle.
571. The idealism of
cultural metachemistry, metaphysics, chemistry, and
physics ... is premised upon the elemental element/elementino
wavicle.
572. Materialism is barbarous because it appertains
to the most basic/least advanced element/elementino.
573. Realism is civilized because it appertains to
the more (relative to most) basic/less (relative to least) advanced element/elementino.
574. Naturalism is natural because it appertains to
the less (relative to least) basic/more (relative to most) advanced element/elementino.
575. Idealism is cultural because it appertains to
the least basic/most advanced element/elementino.
576. The barbarous does,
the civilized gives, the natural takes, and the cultural is.
577. Nevertheless, despite
these particular subdivisions of any given axis, metachemistry
is chiefly about doing, metaphysics chiefly about being, chemistry chiefly
about giving, and physics chiefly about taking.
578. Hence barbarism is the most characteristic
attribute of metachemistry, which is dominated by fire.
579. Likewise, culture is the most characteristic
attribute of metaphysics, which is liberated by air.
580. Similarly, civilization is the most
characteristic attribute of chemistry, which is governed by water.
581. Finally, nature (mundaneness
and even, in a certain worldly sense, philistinism) is the most characteristic
attribute of physics, which is represented by vegetation.
582. A context such as metachemistry
which, in its fieriness, is overwhelmingly barbarous ... will only have 'quasi' manifestations of civility, nature, and
culture, since these latter alternatives are still conditioned by doing.
583. A context such as metaphysics which, in its
airiness, is overwhelmingly cultural ... will only have
'quasi' manifestations of barbarity, nature, and civility, since these latter
alternatives are still conditioned by being.
584. A context such as chemistry which, in its
fluidity, is overwhelmingly civilized ... will only have 'quasi' manifestations
of nature, barbarity, and culture, since these latter alternatives are still
conditioned by giving.
585. A context such as physics which, in its
solidity, is overwhelmingly natural ... will only have 'quasi' manifestations
of civility, culture, and barbarity, since these latter alternatives are still
conditioned by taking.
586. Just as the scientist is a barbarian, whether
genuinely (in relation to metachemistry) or
spuriously (in relation to some 'bovaryization' of
science), so the priest is a divine, whether genuinely (in relation to
metaphysics) or spuriously (in relation to some 'bovaryization'
of religion).
587. Just as the politician is a civilian, whether
genuinely (in relation to chemistry) or spuriously (in relation to some 'bovaryization' of politics), so the economist is a
philistine, whether genuinely (in relation to physics) or spuriously (in
relation to some 'bovaryization' of economics).
588. From the 'falling fire' of summer to the
'rising air' of autumn via the 'falling water' of winter and the 'rising
vegetation' of spring.
589. From the season of the
Devil to the season of God via the season of woman and the season of man.
590. Words are effectively molecular entities
composed of elemental components called characters.
591. Hence a word is, by definition, less scientific
or religious than political or economic, depending
whether it is printed or written.
592. Printed words correspond to molecular particles
and are therefore political, whereas written words correspond to molecular wavicles and are therefore economic.
593. Printed words are
feminine, whereas written words are masculine, the former objective and the
latter subjective.
594. Normally we think of objects, particularly artificial
ones, as appertaining to materialism or as being materialistic, but, in
reality, this is so only of certain categories of object.
595. Most objects are less
materialist than artificial forms of idealism, realism, and naturalism.
596. A television, for example, is largely an
artificial form of materialism as regards its screen and the contents thereof,
but a radio is more an artificial form of idealism, given its appeal to the
ears as opposed, like TV, to the eyes.
597. A computer is largely an artificial form of
realism as regards its disc and ability to process words/images, but a
compact-disc player is more an artificial form of naturalism, given its
cerebral-like introspection.
598. Thus to categorize
objects in terms of artificial manifestations of materialism, idealism,
realism, and naturalism ... rather than simply as materialistic entities.
599. Some objects, being predominantly materialist
or idealist, are less phenomenal than noumenal, since
they appertain more to space and/or time than to volume and/or mass.
600. Watches are decidedly noumenal
objects in relation to time, whereas light bulbs are noumenal
in relation to space.
