PRIVATE OBSERVATIONS
(Personal and Universal)
Cyclic Philosophy
Copyright © 2001–12 John O'Loughlin
________________
CYCLE ONE
1. Listening to Ponty, one is made painfully conscious
of the deplorable extent to which an excess of technique fails to compensate
for a lack of soul.
2. Rock never went away, because the record
shops never allowed it to....
3. Spectacles can do more damage to eyes than
opticians or eye doctors would be prepared to admit.
4. Recording one's thoughts is a form of
vanity, but it is not the worst kind.
5. Nowadays thoughts are censured more
vigorously than ever before - largely because the age abhors truth.
6. They have made a god out of beauty and a
heaven out of love, but they are the ones who have to live with the
consequences!
7. Self-delusion is the key to populism, for
the populist is one who can't or won't face up to his self.
8. The world thrives on self-deception and
self-delusion, for it is the public face of things that counts, and he who is
most removed from his self is least strange to the other.
9. They have divided the world between evil and
good, never imagining, for a moment, that folly and wisdom are just as much a
part of the overall equation.
10. Most people are not interested in saving
their souls but only in saving their money.
In fact, the more one is into saving money, the less appeal will the
salvation of the soul have ...
11. Strictly speaking, the soul is not saved; it
is achieved as a redemption of the ego, and never more so than in relation to
the context of sensible, or inner, metaphysics.
12. But, then, the redemption of the self from
ego to soul in inner metaphysics is only for those who, as a certain type of higher
male, would be capable of such a metaphysical redemption anyway.
CYCLE TWO
1. Truth is not for everybody - as the world
constantly demonstrates by its refusal to acknowledge it and/or subversive
arrogation of it by the Lie.
2. 'Beauty is Truth, Truth ... Beauty' (Keats);
what could be less true than that? But,
then, the poet, especially in the West, has always felt entitled to play God!
3. As I have often said, poets and philosophers
are, if genuine, like Devils and Gods towering over the men and women of
fiction and drama, viz. novels and plays.
4. Of course, the world won't take any notice
or pay much heed to what I say, because it is a lie that fights shy of truth,
including the 'truth' about a variety of literary and similar cultural alternatives,
in the interests of its own commercial aggrandisement.
5. I don't expect anything from the world, nor
do I allow the world to expect very much - excepting truth - from me.
6. For I have judged the world, both in its
phenomenal and noumenal, lower class and upper class, manifestations, and those
whom I have judged would know whether they were destined for salvation or
damnation in relation to the projected three-tier structure of 'Kingdom Come'
and its administrative aside which characterizes my best works.
7. Thus in one sense Judgement has already come
to pass, whilst in another sense - the actual coming of the 'Kingdom' attendant
upon a democratically expressed majority mandate for religious sovereignty - it
has still to come.
8. Some people, I know, will think me mad. But what does that prove? Great things always encounter opposition from
the small-minded.
CYCLE THREE
1. Philosophers (if genuine) deal with truth, poets,
by contrast, with illusion, while playwrights and novelists respectively deal -
or should deal - with fact and fiction.
2. Disillusioned by illusion, i.e. beauty, a
certain poet gravitated towards truth but was unable, through delusion, to
achieve it.
3. Our age revels in the beauties of illusion
and the illusions of beauty, being afraid, or unwilling, to approach truth (for
which one must first become disillusioned with beauty and willing to undergo
any amount of delusion).
4. For delusion seems to stand in between
illusion and truth, beauty and wisdom (of a divine order), like an amoral
half-way house between the one and the other.
5. Disillusionment with illusion may lead to
truth, but does disillusionment with fiction lead to fact? Yes, I guess you could say it does, albeit
one would be going backwards from phenomenal subjectivity to phenomenal
objectivity, as from lower-class male to female, instead of forwards, as it
were, from noumenal objectivity to noumenal subjectivity, as from upper-class
female to male.
6. Thus it seems that illusion and fact
appertain no less to the female side of life than ...fiction and truth to its
male side, and that you cannot expect to understand or comprehend the one, in
either context, without due reference to the other, since what is truth without
illusion or fiction without fact?
7. Certainly, truth and illusion, corresponding
to wisdom and beauty, are upper-class alternatives germane to Gods and Devils,
whereas fiction and fact, corresponding to knowledge and strength, are their
lower-class counterparts, as germane to men and women.
8. To contrast the appearance of illusion
(beauty) with the essence of truth (wisdom), as one would contrast the quantity
of fact (strength) with the quality of fiction (knowledge).
9. Just as illusion has especially intimate
connections with the will, and truth, its noumenal antithesis, no-less intimate
connections with the soul, so fact has especially intimate connections with the
spirit, and fiction, its phenomenal antithesis, no-less intimate connections
with the ego.
10. The power of illusion and the contentment of
truth stand noumenally above the glory of fact and the form of fiction, which
is to say, the will of beauty and the soul of wisdom stand noumenally above the
spirit of strength and the ego of knowledge.
11. In such fashion, the Devil of Hell and the
God of Heaven stand above the woman of purgatory and the man of (the) earth.
12. Note how the above absolutes are accorded
initial capitals and the relativities not, given their phenomenal rather than
noumenal status. For it is normal - is
it not? - to write of the Devil and God (with the aid of initial capitals) but
of woman and man (in lower case), as of Hell and Heaven, but of purgatory and
the earth.
13. Be that as it may, all such terms are equally
applicable to their respective contexts and equally important, since he who
dismisses the relevance of terms like God and the Devil to their respective
contexts might just as well write off men and women as well. Or write off purgatory and the earth if he
chooses, somewhat arbitrarily, and as the fruit of ignorance, to dismiss Heaven
and Hell.
14. Frankly there is nothing fanciful here. All these terms have intimate associations
with the Elements - the Devil and Hell with fire, God and Heaven with air,
woman and purgatory with water, and man and the earth with vegetation
(earth). But shallow-pates will persist
in maintaining the contrary, in denying such associations, and shallow-pates
there have and always will be!
15. The shallowest of all professional or
vocational men are, of course, scientists, who are normally among the first to
deny God and/or Heaven, since they generally operate under the aegis of the
Devil and/or Hell.
16. Of course, one can be very shallow, or
superficial, and uphold a shallow - and usually primitive - concept or notion
of God. This, unfortunately, is all too
prevalent these days, in our media-besotted age.
CYCLE FOUR
1. All higher art, by which is meant Art (with
a capital A) is done not because of the People, but in spite of them!
2. The People care nothing for genius but tend,
on account of their ignorance, to hold it against any person so inclined.
3. The genius, if he is to survive, has need of
an ability to defy the People's opposition and/or indifference to what he
signifies. He must be able to continue,
willy-nilly, irrespective of any obstacles, verbal or otherwise, the People may
choose to place in his way.
4. The artist-genius is not like the People -
he is a case apart who lives according to his own rules rather than by the
rules which the majority of people who live in society abide by.
5. This is not to say that he is a criminal or
scoundrel but, rather, one who thinks for himself and lives, more often than
not, by himself, since other people would be more of a hindrance than an aid to
his art.
6. All the best work is done in solitude, never
in company or with the multitude.
Rather, the artist-genius is one who flees from the multitude in fear
that his art should be vitiated by social custom.
7. In like manner, he distrusts and avoids the
religions of the multitude, which are not the religions of self-belief but,
rather, of self-sacrifice and other-worship.
In short, of spiritual prostitution and intellectual idolatry.
CYCLE FIVE
1. Man has made a god out of himself, and the
deplorable result has been the humanistic stultification of religion and its
reduction to the lowest-common-denominator of prayerful superstition.
2. Take the 'Lord's Prayer', with its 'give us
this day our daily bread' (hardly the stuff of religion, much less of God!) and
'lead us not into temptation' (as if 'the Lord' would do such a thing!), 'but
deliver us from evil' (not to mention folly as well!), 'for Thine is the
Kingdom, the power and the glory' (but evidently not the form and the
contentment!) 'for ever and ever....'
3. The only part of the 'Lord's Prayer' that I
really like is 'Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done ...' (which, however,
remains to be seen) 'in Heaven as it is on earth' (which latter, alas, I am
still not altogether convinced about, though I live in hope).
4. As for the concept of a 'living God' (not
associated with the above prayer), it is incontestably the case that the only
God to fit that description is 'the Father', and not so much as the Sun (which
in any case is more of a Satanic parallel as 'fallen angel') as of the ears,
the order of God which accords with 'supreme being', albeit in relation to
folly and unholiness rather than to those aspects of godhead which accord with
such being in relation to wisdom and holiness, since of the lungs and the
breath as opposed to the ears and the airwaves, and therefore having reference
to salvation from metaphysical sensuality to metaphysical sensibility, as from
the aforementioned Father to the Son or, at any rate, to a Son commensurate
with the Second Coming, and having more reference, metaphysically, to the Self
than to the Not-Self.
5. Thus not so much lungs and breath, sensibly
metaphysical will and spirit, as germane to a secondary God and Heaven, as ego
and soul of, in sensibly metaphysical terms, a primary order of God and Heaven
- namely, the Wise Ego of God-the-Son and the Holy Soul of Sensible Heaven.
6. For the Wise Will of God-the-Father and the
Holy Spirit of Sensible Heaven, the lungs and the breath, are there to be
utilized by the Wise Ego of God-the-Son, the sensibly metaphysical ego, in the
interests of His 'resurrection', on the recoil from self-annihilation at the
hands, so to speak, of the out-breath ... of the Holy Spirit of Sensible Heaven
... to and as the Holy Soul of Sensible Heaven, the redemption of a primary God
in a primary Heaven, which is the raison d'être of transcendental meditation
and justification of ultimate Godhead.
7. Thus in broad sensual/sensible metaphysical
terms, one can distinguish Father from Son and Son from Father, but in specific
terms both contexts can be thought of in relation to a Father and a Son, not to
mention a Spirit and a Soul, except that in sensual metaphysics Godhead
(whether primary or secondary) is characterized by folly, and Heaven (whether
in primary or secondary terms) by unholiness, whereas in sensible metaphysics
both orders of Godhead are wise and both orders of Heaven holy.
8. Consequently the latter are constitutive of
salvation from the former, and such a salvation is germane to the Second
Coming, Who is the Son, or egoistic order of Godhead (primary), Whose
consciousness is attuned to the will of the lungs to breathe and Who, in
meditating, effectively utilizes this will, the Wise Will of God-the-Father, to
be borne-up on the out-breath wings of the Holy Spirit of Sensible Heaven, only
to recoil, in self-preservation, to self more profoundly ... than would
otherwise have been the case ... as the Holy Soul of Sensible Heaven, the
redemptive primary Heaven of a primary God whose release from ego, no matter
how temporary or intermittently, is blissful.
9. Thus there is a Father here (the lungs) and
a Son here (the metaphysical ego), together with a Spirit (the breath) and a
Soul (the innermost self), but all of this inner metaphysical reality can be
subsumed under the general rubric of the Son, the Second Coming, Who in broad
terms is no secondary Son to a primary Father, like the First Coming (Christ)
or, in not-self terms, brain to phallus, secondary grace to primary sin, but,
on the contrary, very much a primary Son to a secondary Father, as, in not-self
terms, lungs to ears, primary grace to secondary sin.
10. Thus, with the Second Coming, grace moves to
the fore as the primary aspect of things due to transcendental meditation,
whereas with the First Coming - as, indeed, the Catholic Church - it is merely
secondary, in prayerful contrition and/or verbal absolution, to a sinful
fulcrum in the phallus (or focus of the flesh), which can be anthropomorphized
as the Father per se, which is to say, a primary manifestation of this order
of Godhead or, rather, man (since godliness attaches neither to the sensual nor
to the sensible manifestations of physics, but only to those manifestations of
metaphysics, as already discussed).
11. Thus Father and Son are merely manly, or of man,
with the physical religion of humanism, viz. Christianity, whereas with the
metaphysical religion of transcendentalism, by contrast, they are godly, or of
God, and this whether on foolish or wise terms, according to whether sensuality
or sensibility is the prevailing orientation.
12. Social Transcendentalism, as taught by me, is
primarily the religion of metaphysical sensibility, and thus of wise orders of
God (Father and Son) and holy orders of Heaven (Spirit and Soul). It is also the religion, lower down its
pluralistic hierarchy, of wise orders of man (father and son) and holy orders
of the earth (spirit and soul), as well, in relation to the bottom tier of my
projected triadic Beyond, as good orders of woman (mother and daughter) and
unclear orders of purgatory (spirit and soul).
13. It is even, in relation to the administrative
aside to the triadic Beyond, a context of good orders of Devil (Mother and
Daughter) and unclear orders of Hell (Spirit and Soul). For you cannot have Heaven without Hell, nor
the earth without purgatory, any more than you can have God without the Devil,
or man without woman.
14. If this is 'Kingdom Come', as I believe, then
'Kingdom Come' is very much a combination of administrative aside and triadic
Beyond, with all four Elements duly accounted for and reasonably integrated.
CYCLE SIX
1. Just as, in broad evolutionary terms, fire
precedes water, and water precedes vegetation (earth), and vegetation precedes
air, so the Devil precedes woman, and woman precedes man, and man precedes God.
2. Equivalently, one could speak of doing
preceding giving, giving preceding taking, and taking preceding being, like
appearance preceding quantity, quantity preceding quality, and quality
preceding essence.
3. Which is equivalent to power preceding
glory, glory preceding form, and form preceding contentment, as will precedes
spirit, spirit precedes ego, and ego precedes soul - at any rate, as far as
their main, or per se, manifestations are concerned.
4. Be that as it may, life is ever a
combination, in varying degrees, of all four Elements, and such it will remain,
as evil, good, folly, and wisdom stake their respective claims on life from the
standpoints, in general terms, of fire, water, vegetation, and air.
5. Yet people are capable of sensibility, even
though grounded in sensuality, and consequently of abandoning folly for wisdom,
and evil for goodness, as they achieve salvation (if male) and/or damnation (if
female) for as long as sensibility obtains - only to return to evil and folly
as the blessed (female) and cursed (male) norms of sensuality dictate.
6. Wisdom without folly would be as meaningless
as goodness without evil, just as grace without sin would be as meaningless as
punishment without crime.
CYCLE SEVEN
1. The Church regards man as sinful because it
is grounded, through physics, in a primary Father and a secondary Son, the one
approximating to the penis (as focus of the flesh) and the other to the
brain. Such a view, however, betrays a
lower-class bias which, though correct in itself, fails to do justice to the
upper-class context, commensurate with metaphysics, in which sensual Godhead is
secondary to sensible Godhead, say Father to Son, as ears to lungs, and
consequently those who are capable of a graceful fulcrum in transcendental
meditation will reject the Church's view of mankind as irrelevant to
themselves, since applicable only to men, not Gods.
2. The Church speaks for the Many, not the Few,
and consequently its view of mankind is limited by and to physical criteria
which give no consolation to the metaphysically inclined. Sin is its fulcrum, and grace only an
exception to the general rule.
3. For things to be otherwise, one needs more
than prayerful contrition and/or verbal absolution; one needs transcendental
meditation, but that is strictly for those who are 'up to' and capable of a
metaphysical disposition, not for the broad masses.
4. Yet even there, sin is less relevant to
women than crime and/or punishment, and so a sinful view of mankind is apt,
quite apart from its lower-class or physical limitations, to do a disservice to
females, both as women and, in upper-class terms, as Devils - the objective, or
metachemical, counterpart to Gods.
5. The Father may have his fulcrum in the
lower-class context of massive mass (phallus) rather than in the upper-class
context of sequential time (ears), but the Mother has her fulcrum in the
lower-class context of massed mass (womb) rather than in the upper-class
context of repetitive time (heart).
6. Hence whereas a lower-class religious
institution will emphasize sin as opposed to grace, a lower-class political
institution, like the democratic state, will or should emphasize punishment as
opposed to crime, since crime and punishment would seem to be as germane to the
State as ... sin and grace to the Church, enabling one to infer a female bias
to the one and a male bias to the other.
7. Now, contrary to the above, the Son may have
his fulcrum in the upper-class context of spaced space (lungs) rather than in
the lower-class context of voluminous volume (brain), but the Daughter has her
fulcrum in the upper-class context of spatial space (eyes) rather than in the
lower-class context of volumetric volume (tongue).
8. Hence whereas an upper-class religious institution,
like the meritocratic context of 'Kingdom Come' or, at any rate, the top tier
of our projected triadic Beyond, will emphasize grace as opposed to sin, an
upper-class political institution, like the autocratic state, will emphasize
crime as opposed to punishment, bearing in mind that in metachemistry crime is
primary and punishment secondary, whereas in metaphysics grace is primary and
sin secondary.
9. Either way, the State, whether autocratic or
democratic, is more concerned with crime and punishment than with sin and
grace, and this is because the State is a female institution that is most true
to itself in metachemistry and chemistry.
10. More correctly, the State is most true to
itself in chemistry, the context of a punishing fulcrum; more (relative to
most) true to itself in metachemistry, the context of a criminal fulcrum; less
(relative to least) true to itself in metaphysics, the context of a graceful
fulcrum; and least true to itself in physics, the context of a sinful fulcrum.
11. As regards the Church, using that term in a
parallel fashion to 'State', it could be said that the Church is most true to
itself in metaphysics, the context of a graceful fulcrum; more (relative to
most) true to itself in physics, the context of a sinful fulcrum; less
(relative to least) true to itself in chemistry, the context of a punishing
fulcrum; and least true to itself in metachemistry, the context of a criminal
fulcrum.
12. Both the State and the Church can, however, be
sensual or sensible; for it would be an oversimplification to suppose that
states were always sensual and churches sensible. Certainly, the Anglican Church is less
physically sensible than the Roman Catholic Church, and therefore more deeply
mired in sin, while the so-called free, or nonconformist, churches are less
sinful than criminal in their chemical sensuality, a sensuality that accords
with a forked-tongue hegemony over the comparatively phallic, or bodily (Christ
on the Cross), bias of the Anglican Church in the inverted triangle of
so-called Protestant solidarity, as germane, by and large, to the
'heathenistic' integrity of British 'civilization'.
13. Hence we can speak of sensual humanism and
nonconformism, those denominational divisions of the overall lower-class Church
which accord with its more (relative to most) and less (relative to least) true
manifestations, whereas their sensible counterparts are more usually and even
traditionally to be found within the Roman Catholic Church, where brain over
womb, rather than tongue over phallus, has tended to be the physical/chemical
mean in strictly Christic/Marian terms.
14. As for fundamentalism and transcendentalism,
or that which is least true and/or most true to the Church, Anglicanism
embraces the one through the Blood Royal, the reigning monarch as head of the
Anglican Church, and Roman Catholicism embraces the other through the Papacy,
the pontifical head of the R.C. Church, as in the one case metachemical
sensibility and in the other case metaphysical sensuality, secondary Mother and
secondary Father, anchor both mass and volume to time, albeit with a different
emphasis in each case, as befitting their fundamentalist (repetitive time) and
transcendentalist (sequential time) natures.
15. But the 'big' or independent orders of
Fundamentalism and Transcendentalism are, of course, extraneous to the
Christian Church or, more correctly, Churches (whether strictly Christian or
not) - like Hinduism and Mohammedanism (Islam) in relation to the sensuality
and sensibility of Fundamentalism, or Judaism and Buddhism in relation to the
sensuality and sensibility of Transcendentalism - the former alternatives
broadly metachemical, and the latter ones no-less broadly metaphysical.
16. Thus that which is least true to the Church,
or religion, is fundamentalist, while that which is most true to religion, as
to the Church, is transcendentalist - whether in terms of sensuality or
sensibility; which is to say, whether in terms of crime and punishment in the
case of Fundamentalism, or of sin and grace in the case of
Transcendentalism. A primary crime and a
secondary punishment vis-à-vis a secondary sin and a primary grace. Absolute religious Evil and Good vis-à-vis
absolute religious folly and wisdom.
Absolute Daughter and Mother vis-à-vis absolute Father and Son.
CYCLE EIGHT
1. Evolving life embraces, in mankind, a drive
towards unity and the overcoming of divisive frictions. Such frictions - different religions,
cultures, ideologies, etc. - derive in no small part from diverse environments,
the sorts of climatically and topographically diverse environments which the
Earth has been prone to for several millennia.
2. I am not alluding here to gender and class,
which are pretty constant factors irrespective of environment, but to those
varieties of religion and culture which remain a source of human conflict and
division.
3. Only a more uniform environment can provide
the basis for a universal civilization/culture complex, the sort of
universality that, while acknowledging the lower values of strength and
knowledge, does justice to the higher values of beauty and, especially, truth.
4. Such an environment obviously has to be
artificial, and that is why the city, considered as a man-made entity, is such
an important aspect of the development of civilization and culture towards a
universal peak. For the city is the
means whereby living environments become artificially standardized irrespective
of climatic differences, and in such urban standardization lies the key to
cultural universality.
5. But the city itself can be modified in
keeping with new ideological insights, and thus transmuted from alpha to omega,
so to speak, as curvilinear architecture, for example, increasingly ensues -
where applicable - upon the more rectilinear styles so typifying the female
bias (objective) of city development in the late-twentieth and early
twenty-first centuries.
6. Thus it is not the city as such which is bad
and morally or otherwise undesirable, as from a naturalistic perspective, but
rather the prevalence of certain styles of architecture which signify a
beginning rather than an end, as though in heathenistic defiance of traditional
or conventional Christian-type criteria.
7. If we judge or deem certain architectural
styles to be irrelevant or undesirable from a more omega-oriented and
progressive standpoint, that is not the same as condemning the city outright,
as though a sin or crime against Nature (whatever, according to climatic and
topographical conditioning, we may consider that to be). On the contrary, the almost infinite
transmutability of the city allows for the progressive overcoming of Nature as
a divisive influence in human affairs and for the possibility - indeed, almost
certain inevitability - of universal ideological uniformity, not, be it noted,
in relation to economics (still less politics and science) but, ultimately, in
relation to religion, the ne plus ultra of things when genuine, and a
religion, moreover, the likes of which the world has never seen before.
8. But this religion, which I equate with
Social Transcendentalism, would not be so fatuous as to fly in the face of
either gender or class, since two genders (male and female) and two classes
(upper and lower) give us that elemental comprehensiveness which is of the
essence of reality, and which permits structural stability on both upper and
lower manifestations of an objective and a subjective basis, the only basis
upon which justice can be done to reality and mankind be guaranteed the
avoidance of utopian partisanships of the sort which, in their advocacy of this
or that gender's and/or class's interests, so plagued and characterized the
twentieth century.
9. Anyone who adopts Social Transcendentalism
will not be interested in building 'castles in the air' or having 'pie in the
sky', for the simple reason that he will know that all the
Elements - from fire and water to vegetation (earth) and air - have their
place, even if with an emphasis, necessarily in relation to civilization and
culture, on sensibility as opposed to sensuality.
10. Thus religion, not economics, becomes the
nature and guarantor of ultimate universal unity within the framework of an
ideological structure which, while acknowledging gender and class distinctions,
can only really be maintained on the basis of extensive and/or intensive
transmutable urbanization.
11. Opposing global capitalism and consumerism is
certainly an understandable stance for those who either feel threatened by it
or left out in the cold, but it is only really valid from the standpoint of
religion, and that new religion, in particular, which, through the Second
Coming, does ultimate justice to truth - something which no previous or
traditional religion - with the partial exception of Buddhism in certain of its
manifestations - has ever done.
12. However, disillusionment with traditional
religion does not justify, in my view, the assumption that the only solution to
an economic hegemony, as signified by global capitalism, lies in politics, as
though socialism - to the extent one identifies it with a political dimension -
were a viable alternative to capitalism!
Frankly, it is not, and no-one in their right minds would seriously
espouse a socialistic alternative to capitalism in this day and age, as if a
feminine approach to economics, akin to wealth being maternally dispensed to
individual members of a family, were somehow intrinsically superior to its male
approach, which is responsible for the initial generation of wealth through the
profit system.
13. Neither is nature conservationism and global
ecology necessarily a viable alternative to capitalism, bearing in mind that
Nature is responsible, in no small degree, for the different ideologies and
cultures which can be found to conform, in many respects, to the type of
natural environment in which they exist, be it temperate or otherwise, and that
more emphasis on Nature will only reverse progress towards universal unity.
14. The city is an important factor, not the sole
one by any means, but nonetheless of considerable significance in ensuring the
development of environmental uniformity and the overcoming, in consequence, of
natural disparities, and for this reason its development should take precedence,
wherever reasonably possible, over naturalistic concerns, including undue
conservationist reaction to industrial and/or urban expansion.
15. Certainly it would be wrong to assume that
economics and the city were synonymous, and that global capitalism was simply a
product of city development. It may be
that the development of the city goes through an economic phase, a capitalist
phase, as formerly it arguably went through a political and even scientific one
(as with the Industrial Revolution), but that development can itself be
transmuted in relation to new criteria which, steeped in revolutionary
religion, aim to supersede such an economic parallel.
16. For the ultimate city - the celestial city,
to employ a Bunyan-like term - must be of a religious orientation, having
intimate associations with 'Kingdom Come', and for such a city to arise there
must first have been the economic development of the city, a development which
acts as the catalyst for subsequent development of the kind in which economics,
duly subordinated to religion, is effectively transcended, and religion - and
therefore God - becomes the final arbiter of right and wrong, the ultimate
moral standard and guide.
17. Such a new religion presupposes a new God,
and such a new God - equivalent to a
Second Coming Who provides for the possibility of a democratically-achieved empowerment of the
People with religious sovereignty - would require and enable not only man but
woman to be put in her rightful or, rather, righteous place - righteous, that
is, in relation to sensibility and the reintroduction of civilization as the
necessary servant, both on phenomenal and noumenal, lower- and upper-class
terms, of culture.
18. At present, however, it is man who, with his
economic humanism, 'calls the shots', and not altogether without the
institutionalized sanction, one might almost say, of the First Coming, viz.
Christ, in certain of his denominational manifestations, so to speak. But a time will come when the ultimate
criterion of truth, morality, justice, culture, etc., will reside with God, as
with godly humans, and then global unity and uniformity, or unity in
uniformity, will take an increasingly, though not exclusively, religious turn,
as germane to its consummation on the basis of the subjectively-oriented
transmutation of the city, and in keeping with the will of a socially
responsible transcendentalism - the will, in short, of Social
Transcendentalism.
CYCLE NINE
1. In music, as in life, sensibility
is 'up-tempo' and sensuality 'laid back'.
2. All the best music is
'up-tempo', which is to say quick or fast.
3. Rhythm is the will of music, but only when
music is metachemical, or fiery, is rhythm properly rhythmic.
4. When music is chemical, or watery, rhythm is
quasi-harmonic and therefore 'once bovaryized'.
5. When music is physical, or vegetative,
rhythm is quasi-melodic and therefore 'twice bovaryized'.
6. When music is metaphysical, or airy, rhythm
is quasi-pitchful and therefore 'thrice bovaryized'.
7. Harmony is the spirit of music, but only
when music is chemical, or watery, is harmony properly harmonic.
8. When music is metachemical, or fiery,
harmony is quasi-rhythmic and therefore 'once bovaryized'.
9. When music is metaphysical, or airy, harmony
is quasi-pitchful and therefore 'twice bovaryized'.
10. When music is physical, or vegetative,
harmony is quasi-melodic and therefore 'thrice bovaryized'.
11. Melody is the ego of music, but only when music
is physical, or vegetative, is melody properly melodic.
12. When music is metaphysical, or airy, melody
is quasi-pitchful and therefore 'once bovaryized'.
13. When music is metachemical, or fiery, melody
is quasi-rhythmic and therefore 'twice bovaryized'.
14. When music is chemical, or watery, melody is
quasi-harmonic and therefore 'thrice bovaryized'.
15. Pitch is the soul of music, but only when
music is metaphysical, or airy, is pitch properly pitchful.
16. When music is physical, or vegetative, pitch
is quasi-melodic and therefore 'once bovaryized'.
17. When music is chemical, or watery, pitch is
quasi-harmonic and therefore 'twice bovaryized'.
18. When music is metachemical, or fiery, pitch
is quasi-rhythmic and therefore 'thrice bovaryized'.
19. As the art form of air rather than of
vegetation (literature), water (sculpture), or fire (painting), music is most
true to itself in metaphysics, more (relative to most) true to itself in
physics, less (relative to least) true to itself in chemistry, and least true
to itself in metachemistry.
20. Therefore music that is properly musical will
be of the soul; music that is quasi-literary, and 'once bovaryized', will be of
the ego; music that is quasi-sculptural, and 'twice bovaryized', will be of the
spirit; and music that is quasi-painterly, and 'thrice bovaryized', will be of
the will.
21. Thus the most soulful music will be essential
in its concern with contentment; the more (relative to most) soulful music
(egocentric, or intellectual) will be qualitative in its concern with form; the
less (relative to least) soulful music (spiritual) will be quantitative in its
concern with glory; and the least soulful music (wilful, or instinctual) will
be apparent in its concern with power.
22. Rhythm, harmony, melody, and pitch - the
will, spirit, ego, and soul of music, whether in relation to metachemistry,
chemistry, physics, or metaphysics.
23. Music, to repeat, is the metaphysical art
form par excellence, essentially centred in the attainment of soul.
24. Literature, on the other hand, is the
physical art form par excellence, qualitatively centred in the form of ego.
25. Sculpture, by contrast, is the chemical art
form par excellence, quantitatively rooted in the glory of spirit.
26. Painting, on the other hand, is the
metachemical art form par excellence, apparently rooted in the
power of will.
27. In general terms, it could be said that
painting and sculpture stand objectively aloof, on the female side of the
gender fence, from literature and music, their subjective, and therefore male,
counterparts.
28. Music and literature overlap in song; music
and sculpture overlap in dance; music and painting overlap in opera, i.e.
musical theatre.
29. Music and meditation are antithetical modes
of metaphysics. The more music the less
meditation, and vice versa.
30. Piping is as much the sensibility of music as
chanting the sensuality of meditation.
31. Therefore piping is a much the exception to
the musical rule as chanting the exception to the meditative rule.
32. To contrast the fundamentalism of painting
with the transcendentalism of music, and the nonconformism of sculpture with
the humanism of literature.
33. To contrast the materialism of antipainting
with the idealism of antimusic, and the realism of antisculpture with the
naturalism of anti-literature.
34. It is easier to be an artist or a sculptor
than both an artist and a sculptor, for the simple reason
that it is easier or more logical to be upper class or lower class than both
upper and lower class on the female side of the gender fence (objective).
35. It is easier to be a writer or a musician
than both a writer and a musician, for the simple reason
that it is easier or more logical to be lower class or upper class than both
lower and upper class on the male side of the gender fence (subjective).
36. Nevertheless, people who are both painters
and sculptors are no less possible than people who are both writers and
musicians - even if more an exception to the general rule (of class
partisanship).
37. Of course, only per se
orders of painting and music can be regarded as upper class, just as only per
se orders of sculpture and literature can be regarded as lower class. - A
complex subject which I shall not enlarge upon here ... except to say that in
literature, for instance, poetry and philosophy are quasi-upper class compared
to drama and fiction, but that only a certain approach to poetry and philosophy
could be properly so described, an approach, that is, involving rhymed stanzas
on the one hand and spaced aphorisms on the other.
CYCLE TEN
1. There are Western people who get no closer
to meditation than piping; conversely, there are Eastern people who get no
closer to music than chanting.
2. Art and religion - a big sensuality and a small
sensibility vis-à-vis a small sensuality and a big sensibility.
3. Art is no substitute for religion from a
male standpoint, but, then again, one could equally argue that religion is no
substitute for art from a female standpoint, the standpoint, more usually, of a
stronger sensual disposition.
4. Females have more to gain from sensuality
than sensibility, and males, by contrast, more to gain from sensibility than
sensuality - not least of all a hegemonic position in relation to the opposite
sex.
5. The idea that God blesses is a fanciful
delusion attendant upon the mistaken conception of a godly First Mover. In reality, it is the Devil who blesses or
who is blessed (with over-plane freedom of not-self action in sensuality) and
God who is cursed and/or who curses (with under-plane freedom from self in
sensuality).
6. To be saved by a sensible God, like the
Second Coming, from a sensual God, like the Father, is the male equivalent of
being damned, as a female, from a sensual Devil, like the 'Risen Virgin'
(Daughter), to a sensible Devil, like the, so to speak, 'Fallen Virgin'
(Mother), or, in equivalent organic terms, to be saved from ears to lungs is
the male equivalent of being damned, as a female, from eyes to heart.
7. But who is it who damns? Precisely the God who saves what can be saved
from the curse of under-plane subservience, in sensuality, to the over-plane
hegemony of what is blessed - namely, the sensual First Mover, or Risen Virgin
(the Catholic equivalent, in effect, of King Saul, Moses, Jehovah, the Liberty
Belle, etc.)
8. To be damned, as a metachemical female, from
a sensual hegemony to a sensible subservience is the noumenal counterpart of
being saved, as a metaphysical male, from a sensual subservience to a sensible
hegemony - saved by a sensible God who, in consequence of His actions,
indirectly damns (females) to a sensible Devil - at least all or most of those
who are upper class and entitled to such an absolutist damnation as the female
counterpart to an absolutist, and effectively upper-class male, salvation.
9. No more than one can be blessed, as a
sensual female, without having a cursed 'fall guy' beneath one in lower-plane
subservience ... can one be damned, as a female, without having a saved 'wise
guy' above one in higher-plane hegemony, and this whether in the noumenal
contexts of space and time or in the phenomenal contexts of volume and mass -
the former upper class and the latter lower.
10. Gods need Devils and, conversely, Devils need
Gods no less than men need women and, conversely, women need men, for otherwise
there can be neither the one nor the other.
11. Gods and Devils are simply the upper-class
equivalents of men and women, since germane to space and time as opposed to volume
and mass, whether in relation to space-time objectivity (Devils) or time-space
subjectivity (Gods), not to mention volume-mass objectivity (women) or
mass-volume subjectivity (men), with sensual and sensible distinctions between
each factor in any axial dichotomy.
12. Being objective, Devils are always primary
and Gods secondary, for God is secondary, in his subjectivity, to the
Devil. Likewise, women are always
primary and men secondary, for man is secondary, in his subjectivity, to woman.
13. The idea of having God or Godliness without
the Devil or Devility is as preposterous as would be the idea of having man or
masculinity without woman or femininity.
14. God owes his existence to the Devil no less
than man owes his existence to woman.
15. The male side of life is no less secondary to
the female side of it than vegetation (earth) and air to water and fire.
16. Life is rooted in barbarism and philistinism,
evil and folly, but it achieves something like an 'icing on the cake', a
luxurious blossoming (which is, frankly, an exception to the rule) with culture
and civilization, wisdom and goodness - premised, as they are, upon
sensibility, which is generally less prevalent than sensuality.
17. In the distinction between elements and
elementinos, sensual particles and sensible particles, the former tend, in
whatever elemental guise, to be larger than the latter. This is replicated with human beings, and
testifies to the human condition, a condition rooted in sensuality and only
capable of a limited and intermittent degree - subject to
climatically-conditioned ethnic variations - of sensibility.
18. Any standardized universal enhancement of
sensibility at the expense of sensuality presupposes the artificial
transmutation not only of environment, e.g. from rural to urban, but of human
life also, so that ultimately it ceases to be governed by naturalistic criteria
and becomes increasingly subject to synthetic transmutation - even beyond the
cyborgization, as it were, of human beings to what would eventually become
identifiable with a fully-fledged post-human condition (man, in Nietzsche's
memorable phrase, being 'something that should be overcome').
19. But this could only happen following the
eclipse of humanism by transcendentalism and the gradual downgrading of
humanist and nonconformist criteria under the leadership of a transcendentalist
hegemony, as germane to a context, akin to 'Kingdom Come', in which divine
criteria were paramount, and paramount, needless to say, in relation to the
ultimate religious truth of Social Transcendentalism, as taught by the Second
Coming.
20. Such truth, it need hardly be re-emphasized,
places transcendental meditation at the top of the hierarchy of religious
praxis, as envisaged in the concept of a triadic Beyond duly served by an
administrative aside that was as the pro-religious spur, in inner beauty, to
the sensible advancement, within synthetic parameters, of strength, knowledge,
and, above all, truth, as germane to woman, man, and God, or mass, volume, and
space, duly constitutive of Eternity in relation to their service by Time from
the standpoint of the most good, or devolved, Devil ... of sensible
fundamentalism in the administrative aside to the Beyond in question.
21. For the administrative aside to the triadic
Beyond would indeed be a context of the most good, or devolved, Devil, the
Devil whose elemental-wavicle bias in sensible fundamentalism permitted of a
religious priority, but who had been formally recognized as God ... the Second
Coming ... by dint of His teachings and gift to mankind, should they
democratically sanction it, of religious sovereignty, a sovereignty which, in
offering it to them, He would be personally forfeiting and sacrificing in order
that they could be delivered to the triadic Beyond, as He took upon Himself
their worldly sins and/or crimes in the process of shouldering - and duly
transmuting - the mundane sovereignties that they would be exchanging for the
right to religious self-determination only made possible by religious sovereignty.
22. Thus He Who was most wise God becomes a most
good Devil as He takes the mundane sovereignties from the People should they
vote for religious sovereignty and deliverance, in consequence, from sins
and/or crimes of the world. He who was
theoretically First would become practically Last, but Last so that the
religiously sovereign People, should they so elect, may be served from the
administrative aside to the triadic Beyond in the totality of 'Kingdom Come'.
23. He Who was theoretically most wise God would
have to become practically most good Devil, for only from a basis in Time can
the mass, volume, and space of Eternity be served, and therefore woman, man,
and God develop more sensibly towards the culmination of all such development
in the omega points of the ultimate 'Kingdom', of the 'Kingdom of God' at its
ultimate point of evolutionary development.
But even then an administrative aside would still exist to serve the
ultimate triadic Beyond, albeit one that was no less ultimate in the nature of
its refined fundamentalism and transmuted Devility.
CYCLE ELEVEN
1. Women, or rather females (women and devils)
are generally more relaxed than males (men and gods) because they are more
sensual and less sensible.
2. Males are more inclined, on account of their
greater capacity for sensibility, to be 'uptight' than females, who are
comparatively 'laid back'.
3. It is the fact of a primary not-self and a
secondary self which ensures that females, whether upper or lower class, are
generally more 'laid back', or relaxed, than males.
4. With a primary self and a secondary
not-self, males are more prone to 'uptightness', not to mention being musically
'up-tempo', than females, who know this to their cost.
5. Males can get so
'screwed up' that only females can 'unscrew' them.
6. No-one in his right mind would chose to be
born male, for females, being the primary sex, have all the main advantages,
including beauty and strength, not to mention a more direct - or objective - disposition.
7. Truth, believe it or not, is secondary to
beauty, as is knowledge to strength.
8. Males do everything they can to compensate
for a feeling of inferiority vis-à-vis females.
Ultimately, however, nothing they do will convince females that they are
superior.
9. I don't myself believe, however, that
females are superior to males or males superior to females. Appearance is not superior to essence, nor is
quantity superior to quality. Rather, it
can be said that appearance is superior to quantity, and essence superior to
quality.
10. Therefore while some females are superior (in
terms of looks) to other females, some males are superior (in terms of
insights) to other males. This is
roughly commensurate with appearance being superior to quantity, as beauty to
strength, and essence being superior to quality, as truth to knowledge.
11. In other words, the Devil is no less superior
to woman than God is superior to man.
Or, conversely, woman is no less inferior to the Devil than man to
God. For both the Devil and God are
noumenal and therefore upper class, whereas both woman and man are phenomenal,
and hence lower class.
12. Thus while metachemistry is superior to
chemistry, as a higher order of objectivity to a lower order of objectivity, metaphysics
is superior to physics, as a higher order of subjectivity to a lower order of
subjectivity.
13. In elemental terms, this would translate into
fire being superior to water, and air being superior to vegetation (earth).
14. But air is not inferior to fire, nor
vegetation to water. The secondary
elements, viz. air and vegetation, are not inferior to the primary elements,
viz. fire and water. They are simply
subjective as opposed to objective.
15. Therefore God is not inferior to the Devil
just because He corresponds to a higher order of subjectivity (noumenal) and
the Devil to a higher order of objectivity (noumenal). He is simply subjective as opposed to
objective, and thus germane to being as opposed to doing - in short, to truth
as opposed to beauty.
16. Likewise man is not inferior to woman just
because he corresponds to a lower order of subjectivity (phenomenal) and woman
to a lower order of objectivity (phenomenal).
He is simply subjective as opposed to objective, and thus germane to taking
as opposed to giving - in short, to knowledge as opposed to strength.
17. Therefore no more than one can say that doing
is better (superior) or worse (inferior) than being, can one logically argue
that giving is better (superior) or worse (inferior) than taking. The one is simply contrary to the other in
each of these class contexts, and therefore incapable of being compared on the
basis of superiority or inferiority.
18. Only that which is alike or akin can be
compared on such a basis, and that brings us back to the distinction between
noumenal and phenomenal modes of objectivity on the one hand, and
phenomenal and noumenal modes of subjectivity on the other hand, with
the noumenal being superior to the phenomenal with which it is akin, i.e.
objectively or subjectively.
19. The Devil, then, is no less superior to woman
than God is superior to man, since both the Devil and God, corresponding to
metachemical and metaphysical realities, are noumenal, whereas both man and
woman, corresponding to physical and chemical realities, are phenomenal, which
is to say, of mass and volume rather than of time and space.
20. But Devils can be evil or good, depending
whether they are sensual or sensible, blessed with freedom or damned with
constraints upon freedom, and women likewise, which permits us to further
distinguish between what is superior and what is inferior in relation to
different manifestations of the same kind of phenomenon - in this case Devils
on the one hand, and women on the other.
21. I shall not argue, however, that damned
females are superior to blessed females, but rather that, from a female
standpoint, blessed females are superior to damned females, since the sensually
free stand on a higher plane than the sensibly damned, as eyes in space to heart
in time (noumenal) or, alternatively, as tongue in volume to womb in mass
(phenomenal).
22. Similarly, Gods can be foolish or wise,
depending whether they are sensual or sensible, cursed with freedom or saved to
binding, and men likewise, which permits us to further distinguish between what
is superior and what is inferior in relation, once again, to different
manifestations of the same kind of phenomenon - in this case Gods on the one
hand, and men on the other.
23. I shall, of course, argue that saved males
are superior to cursed males, since the sensibly bound stand on a higher plane
than the sensually free, as brain in volume to phallus in mass (phenomenal) or,
alternatively, as lungs in space to ears in time (noumenal).
24. Hence while it is incontestably the case that
blessed females are superior to damned females, it is not true that cursed
males, their sensual counterparts, are superior to saved males but, rather, the
other way around, so that the superiority of male salvation requires the
inferiority (from a female standpoint) of female damnation.
25. But, contrary to morality, evil is not
inferior to goodness from a female standpoint, and therefore the goodness of
females is only something that can be justified in relation to male wisdom,
which is that which, from a male standpoint, is superior to folly.
26. How, then, can a creature, be he man or god,
whose moral advantage lies in sensibility, which makes him superior to his
sensual fellows, sustain a situation in which women or devils are required to
live on an inferior basis, in sensibility, to those of their own kind who
persist in remaining sensually free.
27. Obviously it can be done, else we would know
nothing of civilization and culture, those female and male manifestations of
sensibility, but not without what some would regard as the oppression of
females.
28. For the female will not naturally remain in a
context for long which is inferior not to the male context above but to a
sensual hegemony for her kind, be it feminine or diabolic.
29. She will return, as often as possible, to her
own higher plane, thereby dragging such males who have anything to do with her
back to their lower plane, whether as time under space or as mass under volume,
which is equivalent to saying whether as ears under eyes or as phallus under
tongue.
30. You cannot have a society or nation or
whatever in which only moral criteria obtain, for if we identify morality with
sensibility, as seems logically plausible, we are faced with the dilemma that
while sensibility works to the hegemonic advantage of males, it only results in
subservient disadvantage to females.
31. Conversely, while sensuality - and hence
immorality - works to the hegemonic advantage of females it only results in
subservient disadvantage to males, who are then so many fools under an evil
spell being cast by free females, and the direct freedom, moreover, of the
relevant female not-self.
32. The seeds, or genders, are (sex-change
exceptions to the rule notwithstanding) immutably what they are - female (and
objective) or male (and subjective), and therefore what best suits the one
gender, whether on phenomenal or noumenal terms, will prove less than suitable
to the other - indeed, something to revolt against in the interests of a
hegemonic advantage.
33. Goodness may be indirectly morally desirable
from the standpoint of wisdom, or the Wise, but it is not - and never has been
- superior to evil. It is no less
inferior to evil than wisdom is superior to folly.
34. Therefore goodness, conceived in its proper
female context, will always succumb, sooner or later, to the superiority of
evil, in which the female is directly free rather than indirectly bound.
35. Goodness cannot defeat evil, for evil is ever
that which is more advantageous, in its higher-plane position, from a female
standpoint. Evil is not defeated by
goodness; it is simply marginalized and/or put on hold by the prevalence of
goodness in relation to the hegemony of wisdom as a male solution (in
salvation) to the inferiority of folly.
36. Therefore the more wisdom, the more goodness;
the more goodness, the less evil; the less evil, the less folly; the less
folly, the more wisdom. The more wisdom
and goodness, in short, the less folly and evil.
37. But, as human experience and history well
attest, wisdom and goodness, male and female sensibilities, are more the
exception to the rule, and cannot be sustained beyond a certain limited
point. Sooner or later evil and folly
will come back into the frame, and the struggle of the one against the other
begin afresh. For barbarism and
philistinism are at the roots of civilization and culture.
38. But just as folly and evil struggle with each
other as free agents, the one indirectly free in self and the other directly free
in not-self, so goodness and wisdom are engaged in a perpetual struggle as
bound agents, the one indirectly bound in not-self and the other directly bound
in self, else goodness would not succumb to evil, or wisdom to folly.
39. Life is a perpetual struggle of the genders
which results in a cyclical recurrence on both phenomenal and noumenal levels
that both evolves and devolves in perpetuity.
This dialectic can be transmuted and modified, but it cannot be eradicated.
CYCLE TWELVE
1. God is always metaphysical, whether in the
negative context of idealism or in the positive context of transcendentalism,
which is to say, whether in relation to the sensuality or sensibility of
inorganic primacy on the one hand, or in relation to the sensuality or sensibility
of organic supremacy on the other hand.
2. Metaphysics has reference to the time-space
axis of noumenal subjectivity, whether in relation to the Sun and Saturn in
inorganic primacy or to the ears and the lungs in organic supremacy.
3. Folly can be negative or positive, wisdom
likewise. Let us therefore distinguish
the foolish God from the wise God on the following comprehensive basis: the
most foolish God of an elemental-particle subatomic disposition (scientific) in
metaphysical sensuality; the more (relative to most) foolish God of a
molecular-particle subatomic disposition (political) in metaphysical
sensuality; the less (relative to least) foolish God of a molecular-wavicle
subatomic disposition (economic) in metaphysical sensuality; and the least
foolish God of an elemental-wavicle subatomic disposition (religious) in
metaphysical sensuality: as against the least wise God of an elemental-particle
subatomic disposition (scientific) in metaphysical sensibility; the less
(relative to least) wise God of a molecular-particle subatomic disposition
(political) in metaphysical sensibility; the more (relative to most) wise God
of a molecular-wavicle subatomic disposition (economic) in metaphysical
sensibility; and the most wise God of an elemental-wavicle subatomic
disposition (religious) in metaphysical sensibility.
4. Since metaphysical sensuality is the basis
of divine folly and metaphysical sensibility, by contrast, the basis of divine
wisdom, it should be evident that folly is the alpha and wisdom the omega of
metaphysics, as, in general terms, with reference to metaphysical
manifestations of the Father (a secondary God) and the Son (a primary God).
5. Thinking in subatomic terms, I happen to
believe that the element of divine folly is the proton, whereas the element, or
rather elementino, of divine wisdom is the protino.
6. For it seems to me that if the noumenal
objectivity of space-time is divisible between the photon and the photino of
metachemical sensuality and sensibility, then the noumenal subjectivity of
time-space is divisible between the proton and the protino of metaphysical
sensuality and sensibility.
7. Hence foolish Godhead would descend, as it
were, from elemental-particle protons to elemental-wavicle protons via
molecular-particle protons and molecular-wavicle protons, as from most to least
via more and less foolish, whereas wise Godhead would ascend, so to speak, from
elemental-particle protinos to elemental-wavicle protinos via
molecular-particle protinos and molecular-wavicle protinos, as from least to
most via less and more wisdom.
8. Be that as it may - and this is of course
speculative philosophy rather than science - it needs to be re-emphasized that
since metaphysics is divisible, like any other elemental context, between science,
politics, economics, and religion, so it is divisible on both sensual and
sensible, as well as both negative and positive, terms.
9. I prefer to distinguish negative metaphysics
from its positive counterpart, inorganic primacy from organic supremacy, on the
basis of Antigods in both sensual and sensible contexts from Gods in such
contexts, with those in the negative modes of time-space having intimate
associations with the Sun and Saturn, the arguably most metaphysical bodies of
the Solar System, but those in the positive modes of time-space having no-less
intimate associations with the ears and the lungs - the Antigods as idealists
and the Gods as transcendentalists, whether foolishly or wisely so, depending
on the context.
10. Likewise one can distinguish negative Devils
from positive Devils, Antidevils from Devils, on the basis of materialism and
fundamentalism, with a like-distinction between inorganic primacy and organic
supremacy, cosmic and universal noumenal factors on both naturalistic and
artificial, or synthetic, terms.
11. But one cannot speak of Devils as foolish or
wise according to whether of a predominantly sensual or sensible disposition;
only as evil or good on that basis, as germane to the noumenal objectivity of
space-time, which is ever metachemical and therefore fiery.
12. If protons and protinos are the alpha and
omega of metaphysics, whether inorganically (negative) or organically
(positive), then photons and photinos are arguably the alpha and omega of
metachemistry, with a like-distinction between the inorganic (cosmic) and
organic (universal) manifestations of each.
13. As with Gods, one can distinguish between
sensual and sensible Devils on the following comprehensive basis: the most evil
Devil of an elemental-particle subatomic disposition (scientific) in
metachemical sensuality; the more (relative to most) evil Devil of a
molecular-particle subatomic disposition (political) in metachemical
sensuality; the less (relative to least) evil Devil of a molecular-wavicle
subatomic disposition (economic) in metachemical sensuality; and the least evil
Devil of an elemental-wavicle subatomic disposition (religious) in metachemical
sensuality: as against the least good Devil of an elemental-particle subatomic
disposition (scientific) in metachemical sensibility; the less (relative to
least) good Devil of a molecular-particle subatomic disposition (political) in
metachemical sensibility; the more (relative to most) good Devil of a
molecular-wavicle subatomic disposition (economic) in metachemical sensibility;
and the most good Devil of an elemental-wavicle subatomic disposition
(religious) in metachemical sensibility.
14. Evil Devils are always sensual and good
Devils sensible, whether on the negative terms of inorganic primacy, in which
case we are alluding to Antidevils, or on the positive terms of organic
supremacy, in which case we are alluding to Devils proper.
15. A distinction, in other words, between a
stellar-Venusian axis, as between the central star of the Galaxy and the planet
Venus, on the one hand, and an eyes-heart axis on the other hand, the hand of
positive as opposed to negative types of evil and good, which, of course,
revolve around beauty and love rather than ugliness and hate.
16. As with metaphysics, one has to distinguish,
in metachemistry, between the inorganic photons and photinos of negative Devils
(Antidevils) and the organic photons and photinos of positive Devils, or those
Who have intimate associations with either the eyes or the heart in pursuance,
through noumenal objectivity, of some specifically metachemical design.
17. In the subjective/objective distinction
between Gods and Devils, we may say that Gods are generally upper-class males
and Devils generally upper-class females - at least where organic supremacy is
concerned. But then even organic
creatures are capable of succumbing, under negative pressures, to inorganic
primacy, even if this is usually the exception to the rule.
18. Yet the distinction between materialism and
fundamentalism, the negative and positive modes of metachemistry, would
suggest, as much as the metaphysical distinction between idealism and
transcendentalism, that an opposition between the one and the other can develop
in society, as in the world at large, with some people identifiable with
materialism and others more identifiable with fundamentalism, not to mention,
in relation to metaphysics, with idealism or transcendentalism, as the case may
be.
19. It is also possible - and probably preferable
- to regard such a distinction in evolutionary or chronological terms, so that
the one may be said to lead to the other, whether in metachemistry or in
metaphysics, as in the case of a gradual progression from inorganic primacy to
organic supremacy and a general amelioration of society in consequence.
20. But this is probably a delusion, since the
contemporary growth of an organic alternative to inorganic factors owes not a
little to the influence of the East on Western civilization, and would suggest
that the coming together of East and West into one universal civilization
entails not a complete victory by the East over the West, still less by the
West over the East, but a compromise between the inorganic primacy, largely
artificial, of the West and the organic supremacy of the East, so that what
finally emerges is more a synthetic transmutation of the East/West dialectic
than an outright victory for either inorganic primacy or organic supremacy.
21. And what applies to the noumenal alternatives
in time and space applies no less, it seems to me, to their phenomenal
counterparts in volume and mass, viz. the chemical distinction between realism
and nonconformism on the one hand, and the physical distinction between naturalism
and humanism on the other hand, with, in all likelihood, subatomic distinctions
between electrons and electrinos in relation to volume-mass objectivity, and
neutrons and neutrinos in relation to mass-volume subjectivity, whether in
inorganic or organic terms.
22. Western history has also shown us, however,
that things can lead from the positivity of organic supremacy to the negativity
of inorganic primacy, as societies degenerate from personal and universal
values to geologic and cosmic ones in the process of secularization.
23. Although environmental standardization is
crucial to global ideological uniformity, steps should be taken to ensure that
organic supremacy is protected and advanced through recourse to organic methodologies,
including both 'garden-city' concepts and the actual interiorization of nature,
i.e. trees, flowers, shrubs, etc., within buildings, so that the advantages to
sensibility accruing to the environmental interiorization of life are not
undermined by negative values stemming from undue artificiality.
CYCLE THIRTEEN
1. East and West draw together to form global
civilization - not as East over West or vice versa, but as a compromise between
and combination of both, whereby the dynamic artificiality of the West is put
to the service of the preponderant transcendentalism, and even fundamentalism,
duly modified, of the East.
2. I say 'duly modified' because Eastern
religion is premised upon a naturalistic base, and no such base can prevail -
whether inorganically or especially organically - in relation to Western
artificiality, i.e. industrialization, urbanization, secularization,
modernization, and so on.
3. Social Transcendentalism takes
transcendentalism, specifically with reference to meditation, and
fundamentalism, specifically with reference to a metachemical basis, in Time,
for Eternity, and transforms them relative to its concept of a triadic Beyond
(also composed of transmuted forms of humanism and nonconformism) and an
administrative aside, as properly germane to 'Kingdom Come'.
4. It is this combination of Western technology
and Eastern religiosity which makes it virtually inevitable that, in the
development of a global civilization from the coming together of East and West
(not to mention, in a narrower sense, North and South), the evolutionary
dynamic of the West, largely founded on artificial modes of inorganic primacy,
will impact upon the religiosity of the East, with its noumenal biases for both
naturalistic, or cosmic, forms of inorganic primacy and in particular
naturalistic, or universal, forms of organic supremacy, and in such a way as to
drive transcendentalism beyond man or mankind, and not simply in the sense of a
transcendentalist hegemony over humanism and nonconformism, but with
evolutionary implications that point towards a post-human culmination of life
in a variety of omega points, so to speak, having their basis in cyborgization.
5. For no more than the extensively urbanized
and industrialized West can be reduced to religious naturalism by the East, can
the East be reduced to secular artificiality by the West, since both traditions
are too deeply entrenched to permit of anything but the artificial service, and
synthetic transmutation, of Eastern religiosity principally with regard to the
noumenal alternatives of fundamentalism and transcendentalism, both of which
are traditionally premised upon naturalistic forms of organic supremacy.
6. Eastern religious traditions could only
really thrive in the West among Western peoples on the basis of a naturalistic
precondition. Such a precondition,
whether inorganic or organic, is however largely absent by dint of the West's
cultural commitment to the artificial transmutation of life, both environmentally
and technologically, which means that the West escapes simply being
Easternized, as it were, and effectively subsumed into the East on a largely
transcendentalist or fundamentalist basis.
7. Neither, by a converse token, can the East
be simply subsumed into the West, even if extensively Westernized in certain
key areas, including technology. But its
higher religious traditions, both diabolic and divine, metachemical and
metaphysical, can only be affected by Western influence, and therefore become
part, whether under Social Transcendentalism or otherwise, of an evolutionary
dynamic marching ever onwards towards some, as yet, unglimpsed omega point in
the distant future - the culmination, in effect, of all civilization and
culture.
8. We have seen, particularly with the
Americans and the Russians, the achievement of artificial alpha points, so to
speak, in space, as rocketry and space stations have blazed a trail of
exploration and study. This objective
approach to space effectively parallels, on an artificial basis, those sensual
aspects of the Cosmos which, like the sun and stars, are directed outwards in
'once born' fashion.
9. We have yet to see or, rather, achieve the
'reborn' and sensible counterpart to that, as and when a parallel with those
sensible manifestations of the Cosmos, like Venus and Saturn, is established,
and established on a no-less artificial basis than the basis with which
rocketry and research stations are currently sent out into space.
10. But these artificial vessels to which I allude,
whatever their size and eventual scope, will be as omega points to the Cosmos,
and therefore not simply parallel to the sensible cosmos but also antithetical
to the alpha points of secular space endeavour, scientifically rooted, as it
invariably is, in exploration and other such objective concerns.
11. Our projected omega points, on the other
hand, will be largely if not solely subjective, concerned to enable a higher
life form, avowedly post-humanist, if not post-human, to live to the maximum of
its religious potential in contexts sufficiently removed from earthly gravity
as to permit of unprecedented degrees not simply of transmuted
transcendentalism, but of modified forms of humanism, nonconformism, and even
fundamentalism, within the pluralistic totality of the ideologically uniform
contexts in question.
CYCLE FOURTEEN
1. Some people might think me poetically
fanciful, but I have come to regard blue-eyed people as, in some sense, the
flower of humanity, or the human race, with green-eyed people akin to the stalk
and brown-eyed people akin to the soil - always more soil than stalks or
flowers in any garden.
2. It may be that some people, whether of grey
or almond eye coloration, are akin to compost in the soil of humanity. But, whatever the truth might be, they would
seem not to be akin to the soil itself.
3. I am a kind of eye snob, for I can never
bring myself to regard the brown-eyed as equal to either the green-eyed or the
blue-eyed.
4. I do not, as a rule, sexually admire
brown-eyed women. For me, brown-eyed
women are an almost inevitable 'turn off'.
I would not have romantic designs, were I capable of such designs, upon
brown-eyed females.
5. I do not 'look up to' the brown-eyed. As an artist I much prefer green- or
blue-eyed people.
6. It would appear that brown-eyed people more
easily and even happily crowd together than persons with blue or green
eyes. In fact, since most people have
brown eyes of one degree or another, they tend to form the bulk of crowds
anyway.
7. I have always disliked crowds, because there
are so many cowardly creeps of a snide disposition hiding away in them that it
becomes unpleasant and uncomfortable to have to mix with the crowd.
8. Even stalks to flowers or plants have to
remember that they are not of the soil but above it. But the flower is above the stalk, and
therefore that which is furthest removed from the soil - not least of all in
the case of our human analogue.
9. Am I a racist? Yes, in a certain physical sense of course I
am, but, then, why on earth shouldn't a person with blue eyes or even green
eyes, not to mention brown or any other colour eyes, be so?
10. I detest racial equalitarianism! It stinks to heaven of lies and filth! It is an aspect of the levelling mediocrity and
mendacity at large in the contemporary world, and should be exposed by the
artist and independent-thinking individual - in short, the intellectual.
11. In general terms the British - especially the
English - are more brown eyed than the Irish, and it is probably on that
account that there are so many brown-eyed foreigners and non-white 'Britons' in
England. For a people who were overly
blue-eyed, or even green-eyed, would have found it unattractive to venture to
the far corners of the globe and involve themselves with largely brown-eyed
peoples in the course of developing a massive overseas Empire. Certainly the Gaelic Irish would not have
gone out of their way, voluntarily, to involve themselves with the well-being
or otherwise of brown-eyed foreigners!
12. Britain - and England in particular - has
sunk into the mud, and the deplorable result is the democratic equalitarianism
of which racial equality is but an aspect.
13. England is not a good place for flowers and
stalks, for it constantly makes war on the artist and the intellectual from the
viewpoint of the masses, reducing everything to the
lowest-commonest-denominator of worldly uniformity, in which independent
thought is suffocated or driven out of what is increasingly becoming a barren
and godless wilderness.
14. Sometimes even a man of truth, a god, has
beautiful thoughts, which bring him closer to the poet.
CYCLE FIFTEEN
1. There is an ugly three-letter word which
derives from what used to be the perfectly innocent 'golliwog', a black-faced
doll which, since the coming of racist paranoia and sensitivity to countries
like Britain, has tended to be softened and shortened to 'golly'.
2. One hears of 'golly', but not of 'golliwog',
though the ugly three-letter word deriving from the suffix to the original name
for the black-faced doll long associated with a well-known brand of marmalade,
is anything but obsolescent or redundant, despite the anti-racist rhetoric of
multiracial bigots and the thought-censure which sensitive or self-respecting persons
- usually white - impose upon themselves in the interests of racial harmony and
cultural uniformity.
3. But sometimes thought control of this nature
is impossible or, at any rate, extremely difficult to maintain, and the ugly
word pops out of the mind like a jack-in-the-golliwog-box of repressed
archetypes and racial prejudices.
Sometimes the would-be butt of this sad term of abuse even encourages it
- knowingly or unknowingly - by doubting one's ability or inclination, as a
white person, to refrain from some degree of stereotypical racial abuse.
4. However, even in the worst-case scenario,
like the above, it is still, as a rule, merely a thought, not a spoken or,
worse still, shouted word. Yet, even so,
some people display a remarkable sensitivity, these days, to mere
thoughts! The thought, any thought, in
private is one thing; the thought in public - say in supermarkets or crowed
shopping malls - quite another! The latter,
one feels, is expected to be banished without a trace.
5. However, even if 'gollies' are more
prevalent these days than 'golliwogs', there are still some of us - doubtless
an unfortunate older generation in some people's estimation - old enough to
remember 'golliwogs', and I myself was the proud or, rather, puzzled owner of one
such black-faced doll as a young boy, exiled from his native Galway, in
Aldershot who, one day, to the consternation of his mother, decided that the
frizzy-haired doll in question needed a wash, and accordingly flushed him down
the toilet.
6. Actually, he was too big to disappear, which
is how my mother came upon him and, with obvious consternation and not a little
disgust, felt obliged to fish him out of his waterlogged predicament in the
toilet bowl and subsequently set about having him dried-out by the window or
whatever. But the 'golliwog', much to my
dismay, remained black, or 'dirty', and I must have felt pretty disillusioned
with him thereafter and less than happy in his company.
7. This was also true of the black-skinned West
Indian who subsequently became my stepfather when my mother remarried - though
she hadn't really acquired a divorce from the Irish courts over her first
husband, my father, but merely an annulment - while I was resident in a
Protestant Children's Home in Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, following the demise
of her mother, who, being staunchly Catholic, had evidently protected me from
any such fate while still alive! She did
the 'dirty' behind my back, so to speak, because I was never taken with the
idea of having a black stepfather (any more than I had previously taken with
the move from a Catholic upbringing in Aldershot to a Protestant one in
Carshalton) and found that the use of the term 'uncle' in relation to him was,
by common consent with my mother, more feasible than 'dad' or 'father' or 'sir'
or anything of the kind.
8. 'Uncle Augustine', more usually abbreviated
to plain 'Gus', occasionally paid me a visit with my mother while I was in the
Home, but he never said very much, nor did I say very much to him. In fact, we hardly ever spoke even in the
years after I left the Home and paid occasional visits to my 'parents' flat in
Finsbury Park, north London (they having, in the meantime, moved from
Aldershot), even staying there for a few months - to the manifest chagrin of my
stepfather - at one point, after life in the Clapham hostel, to which I had
been callously dispatched from Carshalton Beeches, quickly proved less than
congenial.
9. Be that as it may, 'Uncle Gus', as he
continued to be known, was, in any case, probably because he resented my
presence, fairly laconic, even taciturn, and I, for myself, was hardly the most
fulsome or outgoing of conversationalists, having developed a knack, over the
years, in both Aldershot and Carshalton, of keeping my thoughts - some of which
only a person of Irish descent could have had - to myself. We hardly said a word to each other, and when
their marriage eventually broke up, as it was bound to do sooner or later, I
was more relieved than I realized at the time!
10. Fortunately for me, my surname had remained
unaffected (not that I like it much, in any case, but that's another story, one
connected with the burden of bearing the name of a man - and an Irishman at
that - without ever having had the benefit of his presence or companionship as
a father), throughout the painful duration of their marriage, but I did not
relish the one my mother had been obliged to adopt, and sought, as far as
possible, to distance myself from it and its colonial associations. Frankly, she brought shame upon me by the
nature of her second marriage, and I have still not forgiven her for it to this
day, even though I am aware that her life wasn't easy and that she was badly
let down by my father, as, incidentally, was I.
11. And I am still sensitive to blacks in a way
that owes more than a little to my lengthy experience of having - and silently
enduring - a black stepfather who not
only had culturally little in common with me, but resented my existence as a stepson
and the obligations this occasionally imposed upon him. Nothing could be further from my desire than
to date, never mind marry, a black woman, and this quite apart from - or maybe
tied-up with - the above-mentioned negative attitude to brown eyes which
characterizes my estimation of females.
CYCLE SIXTEEN
1. Race and culture stand above nation and
civilization like, I guess, fire and air above water and vegetation, or rhythm
and pitch above harmony and melody, or Devils and Gods above women and men, and
so on.
2. That is not to say, however, that Social
Transcendentalism is solely about race and culture, even though they would
figure prominently as the noumenal aspects of 'Kingdom Come', but rather that
it recognizes the significance of both race and culture as upper-class
parallels to nation and civilization, pretty much as time and space to mass and
volume.
3. One of the great ironies of history on these
islands is that the Celtic Irish, who effectively escaped the Romanization of
Western Europe and its catastrophic effects upon race and culture, subsequently
succumbed to Roman Catholicism and were culturally pegged, in Irish nationhood,
to mass and volume, viz. Mary and Christ, womb and brain.
4. As Celts they traditionally related, more
usually, to Celtic Christianity, with its greater emphasis on personal
attainment of grace through individual effort, but as Irish nationhood
developed from the combination and cross-fertilization of Celtic and
Anglo-Norman traditions or factors, they gradually fell under the influence of
Roman Catholicism and succumbed to nation and civilization, those phenomenal
shortfalls from and oppositions to race and culture such as their less
mongrelized Celtic ancestors, in particular, had escaped, albeit in a largely
naturalistic and even paganistic context.
5. Yet race and culture are higher than nation
and civilization, as percussion and wind are higher, in musical instrument
terms, than keyboards and guitars and/or strings, like fire and air above water
and vegetation.
6. Paradoxically, the classical music of
Western civilization stands on a lower plane or, rather, on lower planes to the
best traditional and folk music of the Celtic fringe, as, in effect, a worldly
and lower-class type of music vis-à-vis an otherworldly and effectively
upper-class type of music, a music not of volume and mass so much as of time
and space, with more rhythm and pitch, particularly in percussion and wind or
pipes, than harmony and melody, particularly in keyboards and strings.
7. Surprisingly, Celtic culture partly survived
the Romanization of Ireland by civilized nationhood and tended to co-exist with
it as a noumenal, or abstract, alternative to phenomenal, and concrete, Western
norms, and pretty much on the paradoxical terms of a west/east divide on the
island of Ireland as a whole.
8. But under the prevailing influence of Roman
Catholicism it ceased to be anything but peripheral to the worldly norm, which
ever tends to a mundane reduction of life, in mass and volume, to Marian and
Christic, national and civilized, means.
9. To the civilized, the racial/cultural
integrity of the Otherworldly appears as a mark of backwardness and even
barbarism, whereas to the cultured, the national/civil integrity of the Worldly
seems base and even philistine.
10. Yet, in reality, the cultured should not be
judged by civilized standards, any more than the civilized should be judged by
cultural ones!
11. The racial/cultural integrity, or noumenal
dichotomy in time and space, is largely divisible between beauty and truth,
whereas the national/civil integrity, or phenomenal dichotomy in volume and
mass, is largely divisible between strength and knowledge.
12. Beauty without reference to truth is
philistine, and philistine are they who emphasize race to the virtual exclusion
of culture.
13. Strength without reference to knowledge is
barbarous, and barbarous are they who emphasize nationhood without reference to
civilization.
14. In 'Kingdom Come', however, beauty would
serve not only the truth of culture but the strength of nationhood and the
knowledge of civilization, since the beauty of race would be akin to the
administrative aside to the triadic Beyond, and the Beyond in question would be
composed of nation, civilization, and culture, viz. strength, knowledge, and
truth.
15. Social Transcendentalism is primarily
concerned with race and culture, beauty and truth, and only secondarily with
nation and civilization, strength and knowledge. For the noumenal must take precedence over
the phenomenal if the world is to be overcome and otherworldly values, germane
to 'Kingdom Come', predominantly prevail, in keeping with the hegemonic
positions of time and space over volume and mass.
16. Yet both race and culture, no less than
nation and civilization, will be more artificial than naturalistic, as
befitting the overhaul of naturalistic traditions by artificial modernity, and
the almost infinite transmutability of both environment and society which such
artificiality portends.
17. Western civilization is, by and large,
already artificial, since the naturalistic forms of nation and civilization
were superseded by their artificial counterparts quite some time ago. What will distinguish 'Kingdom Come' from
this will be the addition of artificial manifestations of race and culture to
form a superstructure in which nation and civilization will undergo further
modifications in line with the general advancement of artificial criteria.
18. National Socialism in Hitlerian Germany did
much to highlight and revive the significance of race and culture vis-à-vis
nation and civilization, albeit from a largely sensual perspective in which
race took precedence over culture, and to a virtually philistine degree.
19. Social Transcendentalism must ensure that the
omega rather than the alpha of race and culture is emphasized, so that one has
less of an artistic and more of a religious perspective in which culture is
big, so to speak, and race small.
20. Likewise, civilization should be big and
nation, or nationhood, small, and this contrary to the triumph of nationhood at
the expense of civilization which tended to characterize those Western nations
in the twentieth century which fell into barbarism, or fascism.
21. Mature democracies, on the other hand, tended
to remain more civilized than nationalistic, the omega-oriented counterpart to
those theocracies, for want of a better term, which remained more cultural than
racial, if, in Roman Catholicism, with a mainly worldly emphasis.
22. Thus, in general terms, the mature
democracies, being of the State, tended to be more of the Mother than the
Daughter, while their theocratic counterparts, being of the Church, tended to
emphasize the Son rather than the Father.
But this wasn't so much on a noumenal as on a phenomenal, and therefore
lower-class, basis, as befitting the mundane integrities of both parliamentary
liberalism and Roman Catholicism.
23. I speak rather of a new civilization and a
new culture, a new earth and a new heaven, as germane to 'Kingdom Come'.
CYCLE SEVENTEEN
1. To conceive of the plane of space - and this
contrary to how I had formerly thought - as the plane of culture par
excellence, and the plane of time as the plane of race par excellence.
2. Therefore to conceive of salvation for
noumenal males (upper class) from metaphysical race to metaphysical culture, as
from sequential sensuality to spaced sensibility in time-space subjectivity,
and of damnation for noumenal females (upper class) from metachemical culture
to metachemical race, as from spatial sensuality to repetitive sensibility in
space-time objectivity.
3. Thus from metachemical culture over
metaphysical race in the sensuality of space and time to metaphysical culture
over metachemical race in the sensibility of space and time. A rise in time-space subjectivity from ears
to lungs for metaphysical males, and a fall in space-time objectivity from eyes
to heart for metachemical females.
4. To conceive of the plane of volume - and
this contrary to how I had formerly thought - as the plane of civilization par
excellence, and the plane of mass as the plane of nationhood par
excellence.
5. Therefore to conceive of salvation for
phenomenal males (lower class) from physical nationhood to physical
civilization, as from massive sensuality to voluminous sensibility in
mass-volume subjectivity, and of damnation for phenomenal females (lower class)
from chemical civilization to chemical nationhood, as from volumetric
sensuality to massed sensibility in volume-mass objectivity.
6. Thus from chemical civilization over
physical nationhood in the sensuality of volume and mass to physical
civilization over chemical nationhood in the sensibility of volume and
mass. A rise in mass-volume subjectivity
from phallus to brain for physical males, and a fall in volume-mass objectivity
from tongue to womb for chemical females.
7. It may be that we have a distinction, then,
between beautiful culture and true culture in space, but between true race and beautiful
race in time, so that salvation is from true race to true culture, as from the
metaphysical Father to the metaphysical Son in time-space subjectivity, whereas
damnation is from beautiful culture to beautiful race, as from the metachemical
Daughter to the metachemical Mother in space-time objectivity.
8. Likewise, we may have a distinction between
strong civilization and knowledgeable civilization in volume, but between
knowledgeable nationhood and strong nationhood in mass, so that salvation is from
knowledgeable nationhood to knowledgeable civilization, as from the physical
Father to the physical Son in mass-volume subjectivity, whereas damnation is
from strong civilization to strong nationhood, as from the chemical Daughter to
the chemical Mother in volume-mass objectivity.
9. Thus we can distinguish, on the noumenal
planes of space and time, the evil culture and good race of sensual and
sensible Devils in space-time objectivity from the foolish race and wise
culture of sensual and sensible Gods in time-space subjectivity.
10. Likewise we can distinguish, on the
phenomenal planes of volume and mass, the evil civilization and good nationhood
of sensual and sensible women in volume-mass objectivity from the foolish
nationhood and wise civilization of sensual and sensible men in mass-volume
subjectivity.
11. Hence the evil culture of the eyes vis-à-vis
the wise culture of the lungs in space, but the foolish race of the ears
vis-à-vis the good race of the heart in time.
12. Hence the evil civilization of the tongue
vis-à-vis the wise civilization of the brain in volume, but the foolish
nationhood of the phallus vis-à-vis the good nationhood of the womb in mass.
13. One could - and indeed should - substitute
generation, in the sense of propagation, for nationhood, so that the plane of
mass, which embraces the sensuality of the phallus (foolish) and the
sensibility of the womb (good) is identified with generation and this, in turn,
with nationhood - at least as an expression or consequence of generation.
14. However that may be, distinguishing between
race and culture in the one case, and generation (nationhood) and civilization
in the other case on the above basis permits us a more comprehensive
flexibility in contrasting the noumenal planes of space and time with the
phenomenal planes of volume and mass, so that the sensibilities of salvation
remain as distinct, in culture and civilization, as Gods and men, or space and
volume, while the sensibilities of damnation remain as distinct, in race and generation
(nationhood), as Devils and women, or time and mass.
15. Thus good race would line up metachemically,
in 'Kingdom Come', behind good generation, wise civilization, and wise culture,
viz. heart behind womb, brain, and lungs in the mass, volume, and space of
Eternity, as germane to what has been described as the triadic Beyond of
chemical, physical, and metaphysical sensibilities, wherein good strength, wise
knowledge, and wise truth would be served from the administrative aside, in
Time, of good beauty.
16. Therefore whereas sensible race is of the
Devil, sensible generation (nationhood) is of woman, sensible civilization of
man, and sensible culture of God, with metachemical, chemical, physical, and
metaphysical implications that stretch, in Elemental terms, from fire and water
to vegetation (earth) and air.
17. Do not oppose the sensible Devil, the damned
Devil of good race. Indirectly oppose,
if you will, the sensual Devil, the blessed Devil of evil culture, and
precisely by electing, as a metaphysical male, a cursed God of foolish race, to
be saved from ears to lungs in time-space subjectivity, thereby achieving the
sensible Godhead of wise culture and effectively inflicting damnation, in the
process, upon metachemical females, so that they are obliged to turn, or fall,
from evil to good, as from sensual culture to sensible race, descending in
space-time objectivity from eyes to heart, and in the most devolved
manifestation of sensible fundamentalism at that, a manifestation commensurate
in its elemental wavicles, or the religious absolutism of an elemental-wavicle
disposition, with 'Kingdom Come' and the administrative service, in
consequence, of a triadic Beyond, embracing wise Gods, wise men and good women,
the Gods of culture, the men of civilization, and the women of generation, none
of whom can be served without the most good Devil(s) of race.
CYCLE EIGHTEEN
1. When East and West come together into one
effectively global civilization/culture complex, the East will be less bound and
the West less free, for compromise will ensue and duly necessitate that the
world achieves a balance, or fulcrum, in universal centrality.
2. Thus the West will be less scientific and
the East less religious, the one less objective and the other less subjective,
but both together, as two regions joined in global unity, will achieve a fair
and balanced relationship as between equal partners in a marriage of opposites.
3. I believe that Social Transcendentalism will
have a role to play in the blending of East and West into one
civilization/culture, not to mention race/generation, complex. For Social Transcendentalism is not so
fantastic as to advocate sensibility to the total exclusion of sensuality, nor
so immoral as to wish for a world in which sensuality was regarded as the ideal
and anything deeper as an aberration.
4. Sensuality is important
to us, but a world orientated towards wisdom and goodness will ensure that
sensibility is given every encouragement to thrive and develop to its utmost
feasible extent.
5. Of course, that may sound or seem like an
Eastern religious bias and programme which would be out of place in the West,
but I do not see it that way myself.
Rather that the West will, in any case, achieve more sensibility and the
East more sensuality as civilization and culture develop on a more global
basis, even if with an emphasis, necessary for morality, on sensibility.
6. But we must not become too sensibly fanatic;
else there will be a sensual backlash such that will undermine sensibility and
drive people to a cynical dismissal of omega-oriented ideals, with their undue
physical and psychological pressures.
7. Certainly too much sensuality, and therefore
freedom, can drive people towards sensibility, and hence moral binding, if only
out of self-preservation, since one pays for one's sins with pain and
suffering, and is goaded towards righteousness in seeking to atone for and
effectively reduce them.
8. But that is, frankly, a male perspective;
for righteousness for a female is really quite different from what it is for a
male. A male achieves righteousness in
salvation from the sensuality of sin, whether physical or metaphysical, of the
phallus (flesh) or of the ears, to the sensibility of grace, whether physical
or metaphysical, of the brain or of the lungs.
9. In the one case, that of the brain, one can
speak of the wise civilization of sensible knowledge; in the other case, that
of the lungs, one can speak of the wise culture of sensible truth. The former, being lower class in its phenomenal
subjectivity, is presided over by the First Coming (Christ), and hence Roman
Catholicism; the latter, being upper class in its noumenal subjectivity, is or
will be presided over by the Second Coming, and hence the possibility of Social
Transcendentalism.
10. But a female is an altogether different
'kettle of fish' from a male, whether devil or woman, upper class or lower
class, dress or skirt, and does not achieve righteousness in the damnation,
following a male rise to salvation, of either the heart or the womb, the former
metachemical and the latter chemical.
She is brought to goodness, yes, but goodness is not commensurate with
righteousness, for it is correlative neither with culture nor civilization in
sensibility but, rather, with race and generation (nationhood).
11. A male rises, in salvation, from sensuality
to sensibility, from unholiness to holiness, sin to grace, but a female falls,
in damnation, from sensuality to sensibility, as from clearness to unclearness,
crime to punishment, and is accordingly brought low as from a hegemonic
position in sensuality to a subservient position in sensibility.
12. Righteousness for a female is not racial
and/or generative subservience before culture and civilization, like beauty and
strength before truth and knowledge, but, rather, the cultural and/or civil
hegemony, in sensuality, that stands in a blessed relationship to the cursed
under-plane subservience of the male forms of race and generation.
13. In other words, righteousness for a female is
the blessed hegemony of eyes over ears in noumenal sensuality, and of tongue
over phallus in phenomenal sensuality, of fire over air in the one case, and of
water over vegetation in the other case, and in these hegemonic positions she
is affiliated to clearness and the male, in his cursed position as 'fall guy
for slag', to unholiness.
14. Thus culture and civilization are righteous
even when, as here, they are evil, while race and generation (nationhood) are
unrighteous, since unholy in their sensual folly.
15. Sensual evil, being clear, remains righteous,
even though, judged from the standpoint of female sensibility, it is a crime,
while sensual folly, being unholy, remains unrighteous and, judged from the
standpoint of male sensibility, something to be saved from, as from sin to
grace, and this whether in the noumenal sphere of time-space subjectivity,
which has reference to Gods, or in the phenomenal sphere of mass-volume
subjectivity, which has reference to men (and thus rather more, in sartorial
terms, to trousers than to zippersuits).
16. To contrast the upper-class female
righteousness of metachemical clearness, which has reference to the evil
culture of the eyes, with the upper-class female unrighteousness of
metachemical unclearness, which has reference to the good race of the heart.
17. To contrast the lower-class female
righteousness of chemical clearness, which has reference to the evil
civilization of the tongue, with the lower-class female unrighteousness of
chemical unclearness, which has reference to the good generation (nationhood)
of the womb.
18. Either way, whether in the noumenal context
of space-time objectivity or in the phenomenal context of volume-mass
objectivity, in absolutism or relativity, righteousness is clear and
unrighteousness unclear, the former evil and criminal, the latter good and
punishing.
19. So much for the paradoxical relationship of
righteousness to unrighteousness with females, whether as Devils or women.
20. To contrast the upper-class male
unrighteousness of metaphysical unholiness, which has reference to the foolish
race of the ears, with the upper-class male righteousness of metaphysical
holiness, which has reference to the wise culture of the lungs.
21. To contrast the lower-class male
unrighteousness of physical unholiness, which has reference to the foolish
generation of the phallus, with the lower-class male righteousness of physical
holiness, which has reference to the wise civilization of the brain.
22. Either way, whether in the noumenal context
of time-space subjectivity or in the phenomenal context of mass-volume
subjectivity, absolutism or relativity, unrighteousness is unholy and
righteousness holy, the former foolish and sinful, the latter wise and
graceful.
23. There are only two perfections on any given
class level - the perfection of clearness for females, whether cultural or
civilized, and the perfection of holiness for males, whether cultural or
civilized.
24. Life is a gender tug-of-war between evil
righteousness, which is metachemically and/or chemically sensual, and wise
righteousness, which is metaphysically and/or physically sensible.
25. Objectivity tends to get the better of
subjectivity, especially in the West, and therefore females the better of
males; for sensuality corresponds to an element and sensibility to an
elementino, the former having a larger particle threshold than the latter in
whatever Element, be it metachemical, chemical, physical, or metaphysical, viz.
of fire, water, vegetation (earth), or air.
26. Females are, in any case, the primary sex and
males the secondary one, whether as Devils to Gods in space and time, or as
women to men in volume and mass, since objectivity corresponds to the primary
elements of fire and water, and subjectivity, by contrast, to the secondary
elements of vegetation and air, which, being secondary, are centred, like
males, in a plenum rather than rooted, like females, in a vacuum.
27. Male righteousness is always 'up against it'
in this world, for it is akin to swimming against the current or planing
against the grain. wisdom may triumph
over folly with males but, ultimately, evil will triumph over good, which is
simply too punishingly unrighteous, in its sensible unclearness, to be tolerated
for long by those who, as females, have been brought low to it against their
grain, a grain that is both primary and objective, and more disposed, in any
case, to the evil righteousness of clearness.
CYCLE NINETEEN
1. Unlike righteousness, which can be sensual
or sensible, evil or wise, the distinction between immorality and morality,
vice and virtue, adheres to the dichotomy between sensuality and sensibility,
so that we can distinguish immoral righteousness from moral righteousness, the
outer from the inner, on such a basis.
2. Therefore just as the female righteousness
of cultural clearness is immoral in its metachemical sensuality (spatial), so
the male righteousness of cultural holiness at the opposite end of the plane of
space (spaced) is moral in its metaphysical sensibility.
3. Likewise, just as the female righteousness
of civilized clearness is immoral in its chemical sensuality (volumetric), so
the male righteousness of civilized holiness at the opposite end of the plane
of volume (voluminous) is moral in its physical sensibility.
4. Conversely, just as the male unrighteousness
of racial unholiness is immoral in its metaphysical sensuality (sequential), so
the female unrighteousness of racial unclearness at the opposite end of the
plane of time (repetitive) is moral in its metachemical sensibility.
5. And just as the male unrighteousness of
generative unholiness is immoral in its physical sensuality (massive), so the
female unrighteousness of generative unclearness at the opposite end of the
plane of mass (massed) is moral in its chemical sensibility.
6. Evil and folly will always be immoral, even
though the one is righteous in its cultural and/or civilized clearness and the
other unrighteous in its racial and/or generative unholiness.
7. Wisdom and goodness will always be moral,
even though the one is righteous in its cultural and/or civilized holiness and
the other unrighteous in its racial and/or generative unclearness.
8. The evil of sensual righteousness, though
immoral, is typified by cultural and/or civilized clearness, whereas the folly
of sensual unrighteousness is typified by racial and/or generative unholiness.
9. The wisdom of sensible righteousness is
typified by cultural and/or civilized holiness, whereas the goodness of
sensible unrighteousness, though moral, is typified by racial and/or generative
unclearness.
10. That which is evil or foolish is
characterizable as vice, whereas that which is wise or good is characterizable
as virtue, and this irrespective of the fact that evil, being clear, is righteous
and good, being unclear, unrighteous.
11. Thus vicious righteousness, which is evil in
its cultural and/or civilized clearness, stands on a higher plane than vicious
unrighteousness, which is foolish in its racial and/or generative
unholiness. Both the noumenal and the
phenomenal modes of sensual righteousness and unrighteousness, however, are
alike immoral in their external predilections, through freedom, for vice.
12. Conversely, virtuous righteousness, which is
wise in its cultural and/or civilized holiness, stands on a higher plane than
virtuous unrighteousness, which is good in its racial and/or generative
unclearness. Both the noumenal and the
phenomenal modes of sensible righteousness and unrighteousness, however, are
alike moral in their internal predilections, through binding, for virtue.
13. No less than immorality is wrong for a male
(who is a creature primarily of the self and secondarily of the not-self,
primarily of binding and secondarily of freedom), so morality is wrong for a female
(who is a creature primarily of the not-self and secondarily of the self,
primarily of freedom and secondarily of binding), because both sexes fight shy
of unrighteousness, even as and when this conflicts with morality and hence
virtue, as it does in the case of females.
14. The triumph of evil is no less a female
necessity than the triumph of wisdom a male one. Neither gender can have things entirely its
own way, even in the best (sensible) or worst (sensual) of societies, which
some may choose to equate, at this point in time, with the East and the West
respectively. But struggle with each
other, whether as Gods with Devils (noumenal) or as men with women
(phenomenal), or vice versa, they most assuredly do, and that struggle is life.
CYCLE TWENTY
1. As creatures of both sensuality and
sensibility we are torn between the alpha and the omega of things and should
not expect or strive to be too much the one at the expense of the other, else
we shall end-up paying the price in terms of ill-health or even death.
2. Our division between sensuality and
sensibility is further complicated by the fact that, left to their own devices,
females tend to be more sensual than sensible and males, by contrast, more
sensible than sensual - at any rate, in relation to the gender interests, so to
speak, of each sex.
3. Righteousness for a male, be he man or god,
may be in sensibility, but for a female, whether woman or devil, it is very
much in sensuality, even though with immoral consequences.
4. Males can and do make a case for moral
righteousness based on sensibility, but, frankly, that applies only to them,
and will inevitably meet with resistance, sooner or later, from females.
5. Therefore the one gender continues,
wittingly or unwittingly, to war on the other, and peace is only established by
the temporary capitulation of the one gender to the other.
6. No matter how morally earnest males may
happen to be, they are up against a female opposition to morality based on the disadvantages
accruing to an unrighteous, or unclear, position and the desirability, in
consequence, for females to return, in counter-devolutionary fashion, to a
hegemonic advantage in sensuality, which, from their standpoint, is not only
righteous in its clearness but blessed (with untrammelled freedom), to boot.
7. Thus the prospects, while gender exists, of
undue sensibility for either gender are pretty slim, and even males have
something to gain from returning, whether or not under female pressures, to a
more sensual position and effectively relaxing from the exigencies of
sensibility.
8. For too much sensibility tends to result in
uptightness, and uptightness, like too much up-tempo music, is bad not only for
the male who is uptight, but for any female who has to endure the consequences,
whether she is, as it were, downtight at the time or not.
9. Then again, drinking to help ease the
pressure of sensibility and effectively 'get loose' is a pretty drastic
solution to the problem of uptightness and can lead to dangerous consequences,
both for the individual and for society in general.
10. In this respect, the Irish experience of
using drink as an antidote to sensible pressures, often fuelled by religion and
climate and/or environment, should remind us that while it may be of some avail
it is not the ideal way to relax, and that steps to address the cause or causes
of uptightness in the first place would probably be of more benefit in the long
term.
11. But we are still under pressure, through
life, to evolve, and it seems unlikely that we will ever be able to establish,
never mind maintain, a non-evolutionary stasis in life or to backtrack, as it
were, from such progress, environmental or otherwise, as we have made and are
still vigorously engaged in making, come what may!
12. Evolution will carry on as a consequence or
symptom of our life struggles, even with the dichotomy between sensuality and
sensibility still very much a factor to be reckoned with and actively embraced
for our own good.
13. Doubtless, even in the hypothetically most
evolved of contexts there would still be a dichotomy of sorts between
sensuality and sensibility, even if with an emphasis upon the latter; for we
cannot cease being sensual without paying some heavy price, and, in any case,
how could we have sensibility without sensuality, or vice versa.
14. We are, in Fulke Greville's oft-quoted words,
'born under one law, to another bound', and such, I dare say, will remain the
case even when and if we depart this planet for some more heavenly realm in
space, whereupon the establishment of omega points will effectively signal the
culmination of evolution and the end of all earthly striving.
15. But by then, should such a scenario
transpire, there will doubtless be recourse to artificial senses, with
corresponding inducements to sensual relaxation, and even sensibility will be
correspondingly more artificial than it had ever been in the past, given the
thrust of progress to superimpose upon the artificial modes of inorganic
primacy, which in particular characterize secular modernity, those artificial
modes of organic supremacy which will increasingly typify global futurity and
the attainment, in consequence, of 'the Garden' on post- rather than pre-modern
terms.
16. Willy-nilly, we are locked-in to an
artificial and synthetic momentum, and whether our fate is to evolve or to
devolve within the parameters of that momentum, advance we no doubt shall, and
the consequences will be a whole lot more omega-orientated and artificial than
we can, as yet, conceive.
CYCLE TWENTY-ONE
1. Perfection of the objective sensualities
(eyes and tongue) for females, or perfection of the subjective sensibilities
(brain and lungs) for males - that is the question!
2. For the one option yields an absolute immoral
righteousness in cultural clearness for blessed Devils and a relative immoral
righteousness in civilized clearness for blessed women ... in the sensualities
of space (spatial) and volume (volumetric), whereas the other option yields a
relative moral righteousness in civilized holiness for saved men and an
absolute moral righteousness in cultural holiness for saved Gods ... in the
sensibilities of volume (voluminous) and space (spaced).
3. One cannot have it both ways without falling
into a moral contradiction, as between heathenistic and Roman Catholic criteria
in volume, and paganistic and Social Transcendentalist, or equivalent, criteria
in space.
4. Neither should one encourage moral
relativism, as though the evil righteousness of cultural clearness and of
civilized clearness for sensual females was entitled to a moral status in
towering over the foolish unrighteousness of racial unholiness and generative
unholiness for sensual males, or males trapped in sensuality.
5. Logically it does not make much sense to
accord a moral standing to evil, no matter how righteous it may be in its
metachemical or chemical clearness, while, contrariwise, penalizing good and
its chemical or metachemical unclearness as immoral, even though it is
assuredly unrighteous in relation to unclearness.
6. Male sensibility has a difficult enough task
in this world without being further hampered by ascriptions of morality to
female sensuality, bearing in mind the uphill struggle of elementinos against
elements, especially in the gender-based guise of male subjectivity against
female objectivity.
7. Moral relativism, in which a theoretical
equal status is accorded to both sensual culture and sensible culture on the
one hand (noumenal) and to sensual civilization and sensible civilization on
the other hand (phenomenal), would simply encourage people to regard Paganism
as equal to, say, Buddhism in its more sensible aspects, or Heathenism as
equal, in phenomenal contexts, to Christianity, assuming an upper-class
distinction between Paganism and Buddhism (not to be confused with Social
Transcendentalism and the class and gender pluralism it signifies, both upper
and lower) on the one hand, and a lower-class distinction between Heathenism
and Christianity on the other hand.
8. Moral relativism allows those who are
especially partial to sensual beauty and/or strength to regard themselves as
just as morally valid as those who are no less partial to sensible truth and/or
knowledge, with disastrous consequences for the latter! For how can cultural truth and civilized
knowledge flourish in a society in which cultural beauty and civilized strength
are adjudged to be just as, if not more, important!
9. How, then, could a Christian or 'reborn'
type of society be encouraged in a country where pagan or heathen criteria were
paramount, as they would become in the event of a sensual hegemony and the rule
of freedom as a female prerogative premised upon the clear forms of cultural
and/or civilized righteousness.
10. Moral relativism, in which sensual
righteousness is effectively judged to be just as moral as sensible
righteousness, paves the way for a moral transvaluation in which, due to the
basic structural advantages accruing to sensuality vis-à-vis sensibility (as
element vis-à-vis elementino), not to mention the hegemonic advantages accruing
to females over males, or objectivity over subjectivity, sensible righteousness
effectively ceases to apply or to be accorded special significance, and society
accordingly becomes reduced to pagan and/or heathen criteria, which, in modern
terms, is equivalent to secularization and the dominance, in consequence, of
freedom.
11. Those who uphold cultural truth and civilized
knowledge have a moral duty, on the contrary, to ensure that such an immoral
predicament either doesn't come to pass or, if it has done, that they have the
courage and will to resist it and stand up for true and knowledgeable morality
on the basis of cultural and/or civilized sensibility.
12. This is what I regard as a moral necessity,
and this is why Social Transcendentalism is conceived by me as the ideology of
'Kingdom Come' and the means whereby, democratically and peaceably, the People of those countries or societies whom I
have adjudged provisionally most suited to salvation and/or damnation ... may
be delivered from the 'sins and/or crimes of the world' to the otherworldly
graces and/or punishments in which, under religious sovereignty, not only
culture and civilization, but race and generation (nationhood) would blossom
anew, to grant a lead to mankind and ensure that ultimate justice lies firstly
with the wisdom of God-the-Son and secondarily with the goodness of
Devil-the-Mother, as germane to the noumenal planes of space and time to which
a majority of Catholics would effectively already relate, complements of the
triangular decadence of the Catholic religion, while mundane justice, on
suitably modified terms, was accorded to those who, as (former) Protestants
delivered from the inverted triangularity of volume and mass, would relate to
man-the-son and woman-the-mother, as germane not to the top tier of the triadic
Beyond nor to its administrative aside, but to the middle and bottom tiers of
the Beyond in question, thereby guaranteeing that sensible justice,
commensurate with morality, was done to everyone, be he/she high or low,
noumenal or phenomenal, upper class or lower class, absolute or relative,
abstract or concrete, immortal or mortal, of race and culture on the one hand
(former Catholics) or of civilization and generation on the other hand (former
Protestants).
CYCLE TWENTY-TWO
1. Western civilization has long been
subject to moral relativism, not simply in terms of Christianity having been
overhauled by secular modernity, like the Church by the State (without, however,
the Church, or Christianity, ceasing to exist and to play at least some role in
religious affairs), but also in terms of the centuries-old schism in the Church
between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, not to mention the mini-schism, as
it were, within Protestantism between Anglicanism and Nonconformism, including
the denominational distinction, in the latter case, between Puritanism and
Presbyterianism.
2. But even the Bible, the scriptural 'holy
book' of Western civilization, is subject to a split which, manifesting in Old
and New testaments, smacks of moral relativism, as between the sensual culture
and civilization, but especially culture, of the Old Testament, and the
sensible civilization and culture, but especially civilization, of the New
Testament, thereby signifying a scriptural dichotomy between cultural beauty
and civilized knowledge, the Creator (Jehovah) and Christ, the so-called Son of
God, Whose father is actually less germane to the Old Testament than to the New
... as a sort of epitome of racial unholiness, or metaphysical unrighteousness.
3. Thus the so-called Holy Bible is divisible
between the cultural clearness of the Old Testament and the civilized holiness
of the New Testament, the alpha-most and, in relative terms, omega-most
extremes of this scriptural justification of and even mirror to moral
relativism.
4. For the cultural clearness of Jehovah, as
First Mover, contrasts with the civilized holiness of Christ, as paganistic
beauty (though this is frankly to exaggerate the organic significance of the
context in question) with Christian knowledge, and thereby pits a female
cultural perfection against male civilized perfection, the former
metachemically upper-class and the latter physically lower-class.
5. But the righteousness of female cultural
perfection, being clear, is absolutely evil and therefore immoral, whereas the
righteousness of male civilized perfection, being holy, is relatively wise and
therefore moral.
6. There is no absolute wisdom, and hence
morality, in the Bible by dint of the existence there of absolute evil in the
righteousness of cultural clearness, which precludes the opposite - and
refutation - of itself. The New
Testament goes no further than the relative wisdom of the righteousness, in
Christ, of civilized holiness. That is
as much holiness, and wisdom, as the Old Testament, by its very existence as
the greater part of the so-called Holy Bible, permits to the New.
7. Interestingly, the racial truth of
metaphysical sensuality, or the absolute folly of the unrighteousness of racial
unholiness, finds an ecclesiastical parallel in the traditional monopoly of
Italians on the papacy, as though the most suitable symbol of the metaphysical
Father, Who is the New Testament Creatoresque equivalent to the metachemical
Jehovah (though organic parallel in the ears to Satan as 'fallen angel' from
metachemical to metaphysical, as from stellar to solar), vis-à-vis the
civilized holiness of the physical Son, viz. Christ.
8. But, of course, the metaphysical Father is
only equivalent to Jehovah in the sense of Creator, not in relation to the
absolute evil of cultural clearness and the female righteousness thereof. The New Testament Father is not even entitled
to identification with righteousness, given His racial folly in metaphysical
sensuality. That dubious privilege can
only be accorded to the Risen Virgin, Who towers above the metaphysical Father,
in the organic supremacy of eyes over ears, pretty much as Jehovah above Satan,
the stellar above the solar, in inorganic primacy, and therefore in terms of
the sensual beauty of cultural clearness.
9. Ironically, whereas the paganistic
perfection (absolute) of the Old Testament has more relevance to the so-called
New World (America), with its upper-class sensual values, as in eyes and ears,
not to mention, more inorganically, of stellar and solar cosmic primacy, the
Christian perfection (relative) of the New Testament would seem to have
traditionally had more relevance to the so-called Old World (Europe), with its
lower-class sensible values, as in womb and brain, as applying, in particular,
to the Catholic Church.
10. However that may be, the Bible is an agent of
moral relativism, and should be repudiated by all who seek the ascendancy of
cultural truth (as germane to transcendental meditation) and the coming of
absolute holiness to the world in the guise (top tier) of 'Kingdom Come'.
11. The sooner the Bible is officially consigned
to the rubbish bin of religious history, the sooner will the People be delivered
from moral relativism and encouraged to embrace the moral righteousness (for
males) and moral unrighteousness (for females) of 'Kingdom Come', in which
sensibility will blossom anew in the light (truth) of the ultimate Son, the
Second Coming of male righteousness in the cultural holiness of Social
Transcendentalism and its advocacy, for those who are entitled to it, of
transcendental meditation.
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.
CYCLE TWENTY-FOUR
1. Since culture takes precedence over race, as
space over time, and civilization precedence over generation, as volume over
mass, it follows that the noumenal daughter and son take precedence over the
noumenal father and mother, while the phenomenal daughter and son likewise take
precedence over the phenomenal father and mother.
2. Thus the per se mode of the
Daughter and the per se mode of the Son, corresponding to cultural
beauty and cultural truth, take precedence, in space, over the secondary mode
of the Father and the secondary mode of the Mother, corresponding to racial
truth and racial beauty, as germane to the plane of time.
3. Contrariwise, the secondary mode of the
Daughter and the secondary mode of the Son, corresponding to civilized strength
and civilized knowledge, take precedence, in volume, over the per se
mode of the Father and the per se mode of the Mother, corresponding to
generative knowledge (carnal) and generative strength, as germane to the plane
of mass.
4. Thus while culture always takes precedence
over race, and civilization precedence over generation, it is only with
culture, whether of the evil or the wise variety, that the per se
manifestations of the Daughter and the Son are hegemonic; with civilization, on
the other hand, it is the secondary manifestations of the Daughter and the Son
which are hegemonic, in volume, over per se manifestations of the Father
and the Mother, Who of course correspond to the foolish and good varieties of
generation, as germane to phallus and womb on the plane of mass.
5. Whatever the case, the existence of a per se
Daughter in cultural clearness precludes the coming to pass of a per se
Son in cultural holiness; for the Alpha-of-Alphas, corresponding to spatial space,
precludes the possibility of the Omega-of-Omegas, corresponding to spaced
space, just as, in a relative sense, the lesser alpha, so to speak, of the
secondary daughter precludes the lesser omega of the secondary son so long as
she is freely hegemonic over the per se Father, and no salvation for
males has accordingly taken place.
6. Translated into religious or Biblical
terminology, this means that unless males elect for salvation from Father to
Son, whether in the physical context of the First Coming or in the metaphysical
context of the Second Coming, whether in temporal or eternal, phenomenal or
noumenal terms, they continue to be ruled by the Daughter and in no position to
lead or constrain the Mother.
7. Hence damnation of females from Daughter to
Mother is correlative with salvation of males from Father to Son, and in the
case of metaphysics, wherein we are concerned with Eternity, this means that if
there is to be an end to the domination of foolish race by evil culture, of the
secondary father by the primary daughter, the relevant males (noumenal) must
elect to rise, in salvation, from time to space, as from the ears to the lungs,
in order to achieve wise culture (through transcendental meditation) in the
primary son and simultaneously damn noumenal females to the good race of the
secondary mother, as from eyes to heart.
8. Only thus can noumenal morality come to
pass, and if noumenal morality can come to pass, then there is no reason why a
contemporary mode (artificial) of phenomenal morality should not follow, to
re-establish a sensible order of civilization and generation, as germane to the
middle and bottom tiers of what I have called the triadic Beyond.
9. The so-called Holy Bible is rooted, clearly,
in the righteous immorality of cultural clearness, in the cosmic First Mover,
or Jehovahesque Creator, as applicable to the Old Testament, while the New
Testament, rather more partial to organic supremacy than to inorganic primacy,
provides for the upstaging of the Father, a secondary and unrighteous father of
racial folly, by the Risen Virgin, Who becomes the organic equivalent, in the
eyes, of the stellar Jehovah, or cosmic First Mover. Either way, though especially with regard to
the Old Testament, cultural evil prevails, and a per se
order of the Daughter, so to speak, is able to rule over a secondary order of
the Father, viz. Satan in the Old Testament and the so-called Christian Father,
or father of Christ, in the New Testament, with disastrous consequences for
males!
10. For the male who is dominated by cultural
evil is in no position to be saved from racial folly to cultural wisdom, and
thus experience holiness. Even the
traditional relative holiness permitted by Christ to those who have elected to
follow in his footsteps and seek salvation from generative folly has seemingly
been eclipsed and upstaged by both the Protestant opposition to phenomenal
sensibility in the inverted triangularity of phenomenal sensuality, with its
forked tongue over phallus, and the Catholic retreat from the phenomenal
sensibility of brain over womb, Christ over Mary, the secondary son over the
primary mother, to the pyramidal triangularity dominated by noumenal
sensuality, as the eyes, aided and abetted by the Sacred Heart of the so-called
Risen Christ, take precedence over the ears in the symbolic guise of Risen
Virgin over Father.
11. But a sensual predominance is precisely that
which allows for the possibility of salvation and/or damnation, depending on
gender, to sensibility, and the coming to pass, in consequence, of both
righteous and unrighteous modes of morality.
It is this prospect which the Second Coming holds out to both
Protestants and Catholics alike, and it is only in relation to a majority
mandate for religious sovereignty that its fulfilment, in 'Kingdom Come', can
be achieved.
12. Willy-nilly, deliverance from the righteous
immorality of both cultural evil and civilized evil is highly desirable for
those who, as males, would be capable of righteous morality in both civilized
wisdom and, most especially, cultural wisdom, and the only way they can ever
achieve such a deliverance is by abandoning the unrighteous immorality of both
generative folly and racial folly by electing to be saved from that to their
righteous counterparts in physical and metaphysical sensibility. Only thus will the Evil be brought low to
their damnation in the unrighteous morality of generative goodness and racial
goodness, to defer thereafter to the Wise, whether on relative (phenomenal) or
absolute (noumenal) terms.
13. Let my will be done, and may 'Kingdom Come'
actually come to pass as the solution to the reign of immorality in the
contemporary so-called Christian world, especially with regard to that part of
it (as outlined by me in previous texts) where both Catholics and Protestants
have such need of a Social Transcendentalist deliverance from their sins and/or
crimes to the graces and/or punishments of the 'Kingdom' in question, where not
freedom, but binding will be the order of the day.
