CYCLE EIGHTEEN

1. Since positivity is secondary in the objective elements, economics and religion will be secondary disciplines there, compared to the primary standings of science and politics.

2. Since negativity is secondary in the subjective elements, science and politics will be secondary disciplines there, compared to the primary standings of economics and religion.

3. The predominance of negativity over positivity in the objective elements extends from science to politics in primary terms, whereas the predominance of negativity over positivity in the subjective elements extends from science to politics in secondary terms.

4. The preponderance of positivity over negativity in the subjective elements extends from economics to religion in primary terms, whereas the preponderance of positivity over negativity in the objective elements extends from economics to religion in secondary terms.

5. Hence objective elements have a primary individualism/competitiveness and a secondary collectivism/co-operativeness, while subjective elements have a primary collectivism/co-operativeness and a secondary individualism/competitiveness.

6. The secondary individualism/competitiveness of subjective elements exists as a kind of shadow to the primary individualism/competitiveness of objective elements: noumenal subjectivity to noumenal objectivity in Time and Space; phenomenal subjectivity to phenomenal objectivity in Mass and Volume.

7. The secondary collectivism/co-operativeness of objective elements exists as a kind of shadow to the primary collectivism/co-operativeness of subjective elements: phenomenal objectivity to phenomenal subjectivity in Mass and Volume; noumenal objectivity to noumenal subjectivity in Time and Space.

8. Because the particle is primary and the wavicle secondary in objective elements, a 'primary element' is one in which the particle predominates over the wavicle in due extensive fashion.

9. Because the wavicle is primary and the particle secondary in subjective elements, a 'secondary element' is one in which the wavicle preponderates over the particle in due intensive vein.

10. Both vegetation and air are secondary elements, in contrast to fire and water.

11. Thus, in basic atomic terms, both neutrons/neutrinos (and/or deuterons/deuterinos) and protons/protinos are secondary elements/elementinos, in contrast to photons/photinos and electrons/electrinos (and/or positrons/positrinos).

12. Males are likewise a secondary sex in contrast to females, whether in terms of masculine vis-à-vis feminine on the phenomenal planes of Volume and Mass, or in terms of divine vis-à-vis diabolic (sub-masculine-to-supermasculine vis-à-vis superfeminine-to-subfeminine), on the noumenal planes of Time and Space.

13. The secondary has this advantage over the primary: it is capable of evolving, through subjective intensiveness.

14. Morally speaking, the secondary element is alone capable of morality in relation to subjective intensiveness, whether viciously (in the phenomenal) or virtuously (in the noumenal), in both outer and inner contexts.

15. The primary element remains implacably immoral in relation to its objective extensiveness, whether viciously (in the noumenal) or virtuously (in the phenomenal), in both outer and inner contexts.

16. That which is immoral, being objective, is unnatural/unconscious, and hence individual/competitive.

17. That which is moral, being subjective, is natural/conscious, and hence collective/co-operative.

18. Just as unconsciousness stems from an unnatural precondition, so competitiveness requires an individualistic precondition.

19. Just as consciousness stems from a natural precondition, so co-operation requires a collectivistic precondition.

20. Competitiveness, which is chiefly characterized by unconsciousness, is rooted in the free will of individualistic unnaturalism.

21. Co-operation, which is chiefly characterized by consciousness, is centred in the determinism of collectivistic naturalism.

22. An objective, or free, society will grant priority to individualistic competitiveness, and hence to unnatural/unconscious predilections, in due female fashion.

23. A subjective, or bound, society will grant priority to collectivistic co-operativeness, and hence to natural/conscious predilections in due male vein.

24. The baser, or more noumenally objective the society, the more will super-unnatural/super-unconscious and/or sub-unnatural/sub-unconscious predilections prevail over unnatural/unconscious ones in due materialistic fashion.

25. The nobler, or more noumenally subjective the society, the more will subnatural/subconscious and/or supernatural/superconscious predilections prevail over natural/conscious ones in due idealistic vein.

26. All societies are a combination, in different degrees, of various elements, but most societies reflect the predominance and/or preponderance of one elemental predilection over another.

27. Some societies are predominantly characterized by the metachemical materialism (fire) of space-time objectivity, and accordingly more given to a scientific hegemony in which distinctions between 'damnation' and 'salvation' become paramount.

28. Some societies are predominantly characterized by the chemical realism (water) of volume-mass objectivity, and accordingly more given to a political hegemony in which distinctions between 'left' (opposition) and 'right' (governance) become paramount.

29. Some societies are preponderantly characterized by the physical naturalism (vegetation) of mass-volume subjectivity, and accordingly more given to an economic hegemony in which distinctions between 'poor' and 'rich' become paramount.

30. Some societies are preponderantly characterized by the metaphysical idealism (air) of time-space subjectivity, and accordingly more given to a religious hegemony, in which distinctions between 'curses' and 'blesses' become paramount.

31. 'Damnation' and 'salvation' have intimate connections with the soul, and thus with metachemical (emotional) fulfilment, or its denial, through fame.

32. 'Left' and 'right' have intimate connections with the id, and thus with chemical (instinctual) fulfilment, or its denial, through power.

33. 'Rich' and 'poor' have intimate connections with the mind, and thus with physical (intellectual) fulfilment, or its denial, through wealth.

34. 'Blesses' and 'curses' have intimate connections with the spirit, and thus with metaphysical (spiritual) fulfilment, or its denial, through glory.

35. Each of these pursuits, whether evil in connection with the soul, good in connection with the id, foolish in connection with the mind, or wise in connection with the spirit, can become so characteristic of a given type of society ... that they will condition the terms by which each of the other disciplines is perceived.

36. Hence a metachemical society, with a scientific hegemony, will tend to project notions of damnation and salvation in relation to fame upon its 'bovaryized' disciplines, viz. politics, economics, and religion.

37. Hence a chemical society, with a political hegemony, will tend to project notions of left and right in relation to power upon its 'bovaryized' disciplines, viz. science, economics, and religion.

38. Hence a physical society, with an economic hegemony, will tend to project notions of rich and poor in relation to wealth upon its 'bovaryized' disciplines, viz. science, politics, and religion.

39. Hence a metaphysical society, with a religious hegemony, will tend to project notions of blessings and cursings in relation to glory upon its 'bovaryized' disciplines, viz. science, politics, and economics.

40. Be that as it may, the Devil saves the soul from Hell, God blesses the spirit on its way to Heaven, woman governs the id in Purgatory, and man bends his mind to the pursuit of wealth on Earth.
