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.
