CYCLE TWENTY-THREE
1. From a cultural standpoint,
whether sensual (evil) or sensible (wise), the racial are likely to appear
philistine, whether as males (sensual/foolish) or as females (sensible/good).
2. From a civilized
standpoint, whether sensual (evil) or sensible (wise), the generative are
likely to seem barbarous, whether as males (sensual/foolish) or as females
(sensible/good).
3. Thus philistinism can be viewed as the
underside, so to speak, of a noumenal dichotomy
between culture and race, while barbarism can likewise qualify as the underside
of a phenomenal dichotomy between civilization and generation.
4. The cultural are no
less superior to the civilized with whom they share either a sensual or a
sensible bias ... than, conversely, the racial are inferior to the generative
of a similar sensual or sensible disposition.
5. Thus just as Devils are objectively superior,
in sensuality, to women, so Gods are subjectively inferior there to men.
6. And just as Gods are
subjectively superior, in sensibility, to men, so Devils are objectively
inferior there to women.
7. The noumenal daughter is objectively superior, in sensuality,
to the phenomenal daughter, whereas the noumenal
mother is objectively inferior, in sensibility, to the phenomenal mother.
8. This is because the noumenal
daughter, corresponding to the eyes, is the per se mode of the
Daughter, whereas the phenomenal daughter, corresponding to the tongue, is a
secondary mode of the Daughter.
Conversely, the phenomenal mother, corresponding to the womb, is the per
se mode of the Mother, whereas the noumenal
mother, corresponding to the heart, is a secondary mode of the Mother.
9. The noumenal father is subjectively inferior, in sensuality, to
the phenomenal father, whereas the noumenal son is
subjectively superior, in sensibility, to the phenomenal son.
10. This is because the noumenal
father, corresponding to the ears, is a secondary mode of the Father, whereas
the phenomenal father, corresponding to the phallus (flesh), is the per se
mode of the Father. Conversely, the
phenomenal son, corresponding to the brain, is a secondary mode of the Son,
whereas the noumenal son, corresponding to the lungs,
is the per se mode of the Son.
11. Thus while the cultural are always superior to
the civilized, the racial are always inferior to the generative.
12. To contrast the sensual superiority of the noumenal daughter (eyes) vis-à-vis the phenomenal daughter
(tongue) with the sensual inferiority of the noumenal
father (ears) vis-à-vis the phenomenal father (phallus).
13. To contrast the sensible inferiority of the noumenal mother (heart) vis-à-vis the phenomenal mother
(womb) with the sensible superiority of the noumenal
son (lungs) vis-à-vis the phenomenal son (brain).
14. Just as there is no objective sensuality like
that of the noumenal daughter, the
Daughter-of-Daughters, and no subjective sensuality like that of the phenomenal
father, the Father-of-Fathers, so there is no objective sensibility like that
of the phenomenal mother, the Mother-of-Mothers, and no subjective sensibility
like that of the noumenal son, the Son-of-Sons.
15. From the per se Daughter of the metachemically Blessed to the per se Son of the
metaphysically Saved via the per se Father of the physically Cursed and
the per se Mother of the chemically Damned.
16. From the Risen Virgin to the Second Coming via
the Father and the Mother of Christian tradition, as from metachemical
crime to metaphysical grace via physical sin and chemical punishment - from
alpha to omega via the world ... of the mass-oriented masses.
